Let's breathe some life into this section! Metalynx Discussion

[Dragonstrike]

That being said, I bring the discussion I wanted in the first place: do you guys think Metalynx could be a Pokémon that would dominate the Uranium future meta? I mean, I can definitely see him being banned. Mega Metalynx + Syrentide might be an even better core than we imagine, and we just saw how powerful Metalynx alone is. You do have counter play to it, but everything Metalynx needs is a good predict - and a predict of yours can be way more disastrous to the opponent than the opposite, since with the right mons supporting the cat you can make up for a wrong choice of move, while your opponent most of times are going to be screwed by a wrong choice of switch in. Metalynx power is so insane that, as Dragonstrike just noted, the best mon to fight it might actually be another Metalynx!

I definitely see Metalynx as one of, if not the strongest mon in the current game. But I might have been away from Pokémon for a really long time, so I could be wrong and my judgement could even be a little biased because of my love for Metalynx, so I want to hear from you guys. What do you think about that?

It's definitely up there among the titans of Uranium's meta (Inflagetah with its insanely powerful +2 priority moves, M-Archilles with its Drought backed firepower, Yatagaryu with Stormbringer Thunders, M-Syrentide with her titanic defenses, M-Electruxo with its superpowered Water and accurate Thunders, Nucleon and Urayne nuking everything, Raffiti emulating Urayne's destructive power, Lanthan with its Sheer Force boosted might.  The one thing they all have in common is they need minimal setup to come in and start trashing things).  

Metalynx's speed and lack of reliable recovery (outside of Synthesis) is its biggest downfall, though.  If it has to switch in and out a lot, all the chip damage is going to wear it down quickly.  Particularly if Stealth Rock and/or Spikes are set up, and there's a Thunderstorm active.

Is it powerful?  Yes.  Is it something we need to worry about right this minute?  No, there are other more powerful pokemon that need to be taken care of first.  Once those ones are gone, though, who knows if M-Metalynx will follow...

If it isn't abundantly clear by now, Uranium's fakemons aren't exactly the most balanced things in the world.
