My prediction for Metagross movesets:
Fast moves:
Metal Claw (8 BP, 0.7 sec, 7 EPU)
Zen Headbutt (12 BP, 1.1 sec, 10 EPU)

Charge moves:
Meteor Mash (90 BP, 2.7 sec, 50 energy) New steel charge move
Psychic (100 BP, 2.3 sec, 100 energy)
Hammer Arm (130 BP, 3.0 sec, 100 energy) New fighting charge move

I chose these moves to give maximum trouble to all attackers except fire. Fire really needs a place in the meta, and Metagross is its biggest chance.

I would have chosen a fairy charge move if I could (to reduce the advantage Moltres has over Flareon) but Metagross can't learn any.

Considering they added pokemon, but not new moves. I wouldn't count on new moves.

Meteor Mash is also highly unlikely. You copied Dynamic Punch which is one of the 3 best 2 bar moves in game. Odds would be against getting a 2 bar that good.

Step by step mate, just because they added only the gen 3 pokemon names doesnt mean new moves arent coming.....by the time they release gen 3 new moves will be introduced in the code and come out together with a possible move rebalance aswell.
It`s work in progress

When they added Gen2 to the code, it was staggered slowly over several updates with new pokemon and new moves added separately. It was a few months after the first signs of Gen2 that everthing was finally in place to release.

You can always add a fairy move if fairy Hidden Power exists, which is still very questionable.

In the main series games, fairy Hidden Power is impossible. It was a move before the fairy type, and it is coded for backwards compatibility so that if you trade a pokemon forwards from an older game it keeps the same type.

Pokemon Go chooses Hidden Power type randomly, but has chosen to follow not allowing fairy.

We need actual fairy fast moves though. Even if they allowed for fairy Hidden Power, requiring random chance between all types to get the only possible fairy fast move would be beyond Niantic stupid.
