They'll never make me hate you, meteor mash drain crown metagross

Came up with this build not too long ago and have been loving every second of playing it, attack weight, razor claw and drain crown

I like playing whacky out of pocket builds for the sake of it but somehow this one stuck and I'm surprised I didn't come up with it sooner, meteor mash deals one of the highest basic attack burst damage in the game and drain crown heals you based on your basic attack damage only, seemed like a match made in heaven really

This particular game I laned against a telekinesis scald slowbro and submission machamp (scald being particularly annoying since it cuts my damage down by almost 60% but I might be off on the numbers)

I'm genuinely curious, does the combo of items and moves here not make sense? Metagross is fairly tanky but with little to no access to healing and I suppose drain crown seemed like the best way to provide it, the longevity and tankiness really seemed to increase in brawls when I casually healed back more than a quarter of my health back in one punch(ps :- the game above was played without potion)

I'd really appreciate yall's opinions

What's that one pokemon you feel most comfortable playing, or is your best performing one?

Gotta be empoleon for me, so glad I picked it up from the license selection thing

Has insane bulk for an allrounder even without any sort of bulk investment and can deal burst damage comparable and even better than a lot of the speedsters

Not to mention that even if you're building it out to be purely maxing out your spatk, you'll still be healing a shit ton because your heals scale off your max spatk instead of hp

Shame that only one build is really playable because whirlpool/metal claw just ain't it
