Metagross is a powerful and superintelligent four-legged metallic Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the third and final form in Beldum's evolutionary line.
Information[edit]
Metagross evolves from Metang at Level 45. It is formed from two Metang fusing together, which gives it four brains that are joined by a complex neural network. Because of this, Metragross is actually more intelligent than a computer. Metagross has four large legs (which each seems to be a former Beldum, due to each Metang being made from two Beldum) which it folds up when it flies. It also has a mouth on their stomach. When hunting, Metagross pin their prey to the ground under their massive bodies, and they then consume the victim using their stomach's mouth,
Appearances[edit]
Mainstream Games[edit]
In most games, Metagross cannot be found in the wild and can only be obtained by evolving Metang. In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Metagross had a rare chance of appearing in the rustling grass at Giant Chasm Crater.
Other Games[edit]
A Shadow Metagross could be snagged from Nascour at Realgam Tower in Pokémon Colosseum, and after being purified it could be transferred to any of the third generation color versions. Metagross could only be obtained through evolution in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. In Pokémon Trozei!, it appeared at Phobosphere, Trozei Battle and Mr. Who's Den. In Pokémon Ranger, it was found at Go-Rock Squad Base. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, it could be recruited at the Aegis Cave's Rock Chamber. In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, it could be found at Rand's House, the Thunder Temple and the Light Temple. Metagross also appeared in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure at the Cavern Zone.
Other Appearances[edit]
Video Games[edit]
- In the Super Smash Bros. series, Metagross has appeared in every game starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the Pokémon that could be summoned at random from the Poké Ball item. When summoned, Metagross would use Earthquake to shake the ground around it. It has also been represented by a trophy and sticker in Brawl, a trophy in the 3DS/Wii U game and an Advanced-rank Primary Spirit (which also raised PSI attack power) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Metagross's Spirit would possess a metallic version of R.O.B. and fight in a stamina battle where the stage was subject to periodic earthquakes.
Other Media[edit]
- In the Pokémon anime, Metagross was one of the first Pokémon from the third generation to make an early appearance, as it was shown as part of Tyson's team near the end of the Johto series. It was also the main Pokémon of Rebecca from the seventh movie, and one was part of Anabel's team during the Battle Frontier series. Several episodes of the Sinnoh series also featured dangerous wild Metagross, as one episode showed a shiny Metagross that battled Team Rocket, while another episode was focused around a Metagross and Magnezone that were locked in a state of constant combat, with Ash's group having to lure them away from civilization to prevent anyone from being hurt. Metagross have also made several smaller appearances.
- In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Metagross was shown as Steven Stone's main Pokémon during the Ruby/Sapphire arc, and he even rode it as his aerial transportation. During the Emerald arc, Emerald used a Metagross in the Battle Dome, although it lost easily to Tucker's Charizard. Another Metagross was mentioned to be part of Tucker's team, but he was never seen using it.
Trivia[edit]
- Its name is a combination of "metal" with either "cross" (due to the cross-like shape on its face) or "gross" (which is German for big, due to its large size).
