Thanks for the info.

Seeing as Explosion is Metagross's only multi-target attack, focusing down Raticate (folowed by its group) is what it would do if it didn't go boom.  Mew and Frosslad can easily blow away some groups of Rattata with their spread moves.  Lindworm's Dragonair could also do so if he has Twister.

The main reason I'm considering having Metagross go BOOM! is it could do it before any of the rats get to move, and taking on 30 enemies simultaneously when you only have 3 spread move users is...ick.  (It'd take us 2 uses of each spread move at minimum to beat our enemies back, and taking 15-30 attacks before we get to even use the second set of spread moves is...also ick). Frosslad is also moving after all of the rats, unlike Mew and Dragonair, which is...triple ick.

We could still take 'em on without Explosion, sure. Gonna be hard, though. We're gonna be hurtin' either way, so I'm carefully looking at all the options here.
