Is the Pokemon GO Beldum Community Day Classic relevant from a PvP and PvE perspective?

The Beldum Community Day Classic in Pokemon GO is 100% relevant from a PvP and PvE perspective. Metagross, the final evolution of Beldum is a strong pick for the Master League (especially its Premier Cup format) and the best non-legendary Steel-type attacker in the game.

The reason the event is highly relevant is that Metagross is most useful when equipped with the exclusive move from this event, Meteor Mash. Here, you can find a detailed analysis of Metagross with Meteor Mash.

Brief analysis of Meteor Mash Metagross in Pokemon GO

Meteor Mash Metagross in Pokemon GO PvP

When Metagross has the legacy move equipped, its general performance against the Master League meta skyrockets. This is especially true in the 2-1 shield situation, where the Flash Cannon variant gets only 22 out of 42 wins. The Meteor Mash variant wins 31 out of 42 meta matchups.

The remaining situations are also more favorable for Metagross when it has the exclusive move active, given the move's much better damage-to-energy ratio.

Overall, getting your hands on a Metagross with good Master League and PvE IVs (the two should be the same in most cases) and Meteor Mash should be a high priority for the Pokemon GO Beldum Community Day Classic.
