Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Meteor Mash is Lucario's second starting move. The user punches with the force of a meteor, damaging and knocking enemies back. After reaching level 7, it is replaced by either Bone Rush or Close Combat.

Meteor Mash is also one of Metagross's upgrade choices. It has the user charge power in its fist, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in an area of effect while granting itself a shield. Upon reaching level 5, it is one of the options to replace Iron Defense, the other being Gyro Ball.

Trivia

  • The Ability Iron Fist, which boosts the power of punching moves by 20%, affects Meteor Mash. This move's status as a punching move is more clear in its Japanese name, コメットパンチ Comet Punch (a name which was already taken by a Generation I move in English).
