Team Rocket Ice Type Grunt Guide

With the deadly combination of Counter/Force Palm* and Power-Up-Punch at its disposal, Lucario can stun lock a grunt. A second charge move on a Lucario can be pricey (if you didn't unlock it before evolving), but comes highly recommended for Shadow Ball to deal with Froslass and general coverage.

Turning those pesky Ice types into a puddle has never been easier with Heatran. Having access to Fire Spin and Magma Storm* will make quick work of a grunt without taking too many hits in return.

Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash are what Metagross does best and that remains true here.

Slap Metal Claw and Iron Head on it and you have yourselves a proper addition to your team. It would be higher on this list if it wasn't for the threat of water type moves some of the grunts' Pokemon carry.

While it has a great Attack stat that, combined with Smack Down, can deal great damage, it does suffer from the Steel and Water type fast moves some of the grunts' Pokemon have access to.
