Why

135 Atk. Meteor Mash is physical STAB — perfect fit in Gen III.

Ball

Ultra Ball — Nascour's Metagross survives many turns, so a Timer Ball beats an Ultra Ball from turn 11 onward.

Why

Crunch is SPECIAL in Gen III — it runs off 95 SpA, not 134 Atk. Rock Slide is your real STAB.

Ball

Timer Ball — Evice's Lv. 55 Tyranitar is the single best Master Ball target in the game. Only skip it if you already burned the ball.
