Metang is a very common switch in for Grumpig as it gives Metang the oppurtunity to setup rocks/ pursuit trap Grumpig to weaken it. Grumpig becomes a powerful tank when wearing Specs and enables it to 2hko Metang with Shadow Ball. The great part about this set is it still gives you an incredibly solid check to Ice and Fire types and other special attacking threats like Floatzel. Notably, this set can also 2hko many of Grumpig's other usual switch ins such as Vullaby or Audino. Since the last slot is normally a non attacking move, you can be flexible with it on this set. Trick eases predictions when your opponent has immunities to your moves, Psyshock hits things like AV Bouffalant and Audino more reliably than Focus Blast, and Power Gem gives you a guaranteed 2hko on Vullaby. The EVs and nature are also flexible based on your teams needs but Jolly Pig can't guarantee a 2hko on Metang.
