[Jabuloso]

Alright, let's do some calcs, then.  Let's see...for fun, I'm just going to list every single Fire type (and Seikamater cuz of Elementalist)

Stat Block

Alright, now let's hit them all with various moves while Stealth Rock is up.  I'll assume this is at Level 100 and our Metalynx has 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe with an Adamant nature.  Moveset is going to be Leaf Blade, Meteor Mash, Earthquake, and Swords Dance (this is the set from Jabuloso's Metalynx guide from ages ago).  For the defending pokemon, I'm going to assume they have speedy offensive sets for all of them except Antarki (248 HP/252 Def/8 Sp Def), Inflagetah, M-Inflagetah, Beliaddon, and Seikamater (Latter four will have 248 HP/252 Offensive Stat/8 Defense).  None of them will be holding any items in these examples (with the exception of mega stones)

Leaf Blade and Meteor Mash

Leaf Blade and Meteor Mash both have 90 power, so I'll categorize the calcs into neutral, 2x resistance, and 4x resistance for those moves.

Now, this is all just from M-Metalynx's side of the equation.  This isn't factoring in how fast and powerful its opponents are.  Still interesting data to look at, though.

Really interesting data! At least to me, it demonstrates how threathening the green cat can be. I'm actually surprised to see that even those mons that resist his moves (be it 2x or 4x) still have to fear switching in. With just 3 moves, Mega Metalynx has enough coverage to deal with everything and even his own counters, although you'd have to rely in some predicts to do it. But still, that mon is insanely strong. He applies so much pressure in the opponent to a point that your enemy has to think a lot and outsmart you everytime. Just one mistake when switching in a mon and you might be dead.

The Orchynx-line is a great line of Fakemon in design and idea, but what you're saying about the strength of its Leaf Blade... it adds a little more awesomeness. Go, lil' big Grasscat!

I love it, seriously. First time I played Uranium I started with Raptorch because I always go with the Fire starter, but I always regretted not picking Metalynx. I fell in love with everything in this mon, for sure my favorite Fakemon ever!
