What are the best Pokémon Go movesets for Metagross?

Attack: Bullet Punch with Flash Cannon. Same type attack bonus (STAB) and, while Steel-type attacks and attackers aren't very potent in Pokémon Go, it's as potent as we have right now.
Defense: Zen Headbutt with Flash Cannon or Psychic.
Counter: Flareon, Charizard, Moltres, or Entei with Fire Spin + Overheat. Fire melts metal.

Attack: Bite with Crunch (Smack Down with Stone Edge if you have it). Same type attack bonus (STAB) and super-effective against Psychics gives Crunch the double-dark win. Also, Bite with Stone Edge against Fire, Electric, and Poison types.
Defense: Iron Tail with Crunch. Outputs more damage, more quickly, even in bad matchups.
Counter: Machamp or Hariyama with Counter + Dynamic Punch. Goes through Tyranitar like Bruce Lee through a wooden board.

Attack: Yawn with Hyper Beam. If you can dodge long enough to actually charge it up and get it off. And it's a big "if".
Defense: Yawn with Play Rough. Because it has a slightly higher chance of being charged up and set off before Slaking goes down hard.
Counter: Machamp or Hariyama with Counter + Dynamic Punch.

Best Movesets: Charge Beam + Zap Cannon. It'l still light up water types.
Counter: Golem with Rock Throw + Stone Edge or Tyranitar with Bite + Stone Edge.

Best Movesets: Fire Spin + Overheat. It's not fast but it hits like the inferno.
Counter: Golem with Rock Throw + Stone Edge or Tyranitar with Bite + Stone Edge.

Best Movesets: Frost Breath + Blizzard or Ice Beam. Blizzard hits harder but Ice Beam hits more often.
Counter: Tyrantiar with Bite + Stone Edge.

Best Movesets: Extrasensory + Future Sight. Picture an Alakazam with the bulk of a Snorlax. Now, Machamp knows fear.
Secondary Movesets: Dragon Tail with Sky Attack. Still packs a wallop, even without same type attack bonus (STAB) on the fast move.
Counter: Tyrantiar with Bite + Crunch or Stone Edge.

Best Movesets: Thundershock + Wild Charge. Literally lightning in a bottle. That it throws as a weapon.
Secondary Movesets: Why? Just use Thundershock + Wild Charge
Counter: Groudon or Rhydon with Earthquake.
