Attempting another MixGross set. My older one isn't exactly the best due to its Speed and item and so on. The current set is probably the best set, except it has a -SpD nature.
Also reposting this because I still think MixGross in the analysis can be improved. Here's the set:
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/metagross
[SET]
Name: MixGross
Move 1: Meteor Mash
Move 2: Earthquake
Move 3: Grass Knot
Move 4: Hidden Power Fire
Item: Expert Belt
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 124 SpA / 132 Spe
Nature: Naughty
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Metagross, while normally a physical attacker, can suprise many of its counters by running a mixed attacking set with Hidden Power Fire and Grass Knot. With these two attacks, Metagross can 2HKO unsuspecting Skarmory, Hippowdon, Donphan, and Rhyperior and OHKO Forretress and Swampert. Basically, bulky Ground, Rock, Water and Steel types will have trouble switching in.</p>
<p>Earthquake is primarily for Magnezone and Heatran, though you'll have to catch the latter on the switch-in, as most Heatran will outspeed you. It provides good type coverage with Meteor Mash, hitting Electric-types and Empoleon for super-effective damage.</p>
<p>Naughty with 252 Attack EVs is to maximise Metagross's attack to allow it to hit hard, and 124 SpA EVs provides enough Special Attack to OHKO or 2HKO common counters to Metagross, listed in the initial paragraph. With 132 Speed EVs, Metagross hits a Speed stat of 208, allowing it outspeed most Magnezones as they usually only run up to 207 Speed. This allows you to OHKO them with Earthquake before they can Magnet Rise.</p>

I probably made random grammatical errors when writing this up, or you might not like the structure. Just post and say what needs fixing!
