Physical Sweeper Metang (Clear Body)

Metang is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield but Eviolite makes it possibly stronger than it's final form.

With Clear Body, prevents other pokemon from lowering Metang's stat stages. Ice Punch was added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Ice Punch is a physical 75-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ♦ Iron Head is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Steel-type move (30% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Zen Headbutt is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Psychic-type move (20% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
