Metagross (Japanese: メタグロス Metagross) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

It evolves from Metang starting at level 45. It is the final form of Beldum. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross using the Metagrossite.

Biology

Metagross is a robotic Pokémon with a turquoise, disc-shaped body and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon’s overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

As Mega Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. The cross on its face turn pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its claws are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks.

Metagross is the result of two Metang fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of complex calculations and is more intelligent than a supercomputer. It uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. This Pokémon can be found on rough terrains.

Major appearances

Steven's Metagross

A Shiny Metagross that can Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross first appeared in Mega Evolution Special II under the control of Steven.

Other

Metagross was first seen in Destiny Deoxys under the ownership of Rebecca.

Metagross's anime debut was in Like a Meowth to a Flame as one of Tyson's Pokémon.

Anabel's Metagross was seen in Talking a Good Game! and Second Time's the Charm!.

A Metagross also appeared in Glory Blaze! belonging to a Psychic.

A wild Shiny Metagross appeared in Noodles! Roamin' Off! where it attacked Team Rocket.

A wild Metagross appeared in Regaining the Home Advantage!, where it battled non-stop with a Magnezone. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Since their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

Minor appearances

Another Metagross appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions under the ownership of a Pokémon Baccer World Cup.

A normal Metagross that can Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross appeared in Mega Evolution Special II.

He also owns a Metang and many Beldum, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, it was revealed to have gained the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross with Steven's Mega Stickpin.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl

Upon its release from its Poké Ball, it will stay in one place and repeatedly use Earthquake. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of Super Smash Bros. Brawl at Jumpfesta; however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

Trophy Information

"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Metagross in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.

Metagross reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, working the same as in Brawl.

Trophy information

NA: A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.

PAL: A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope your far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!

Trivia

  • Mega Metagross is the heaviest of all non-Legendary Pokémon, and has the highest ratio of weight to height of all Pokémon at 377.16 kg/m.
  • Due to the way damage is calculated for Grass Knot and Low Kick, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these moves with or without its Hidden Ability, Light Metal.
  • Mega Metagross has the highest base stat total of all Steel-type Pokémon and all non-Legendary Psychic-type Pokémon.
  • Metagross's number in the Hoenn Pokédex in Generation III and the Fiore Browser are the same: 192.
  • Metagross and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-Legendary Pokémon with a catch rate of 3.
  • Despite being a genderless species, Metagross is referred to as a male in PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
  • Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution earlier than any of the other Pseudo-Legendaries at level 45.

Origin

Metagross is similar to a robot. It also appears to be based on a super computer, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a spider. It is also reminiscent of a UFO.

Name origin

Metagross may be a combination of metal and cross (referring to its facial feature), gross (referring to its weight [1212 pounds], as a gross is 12×12), or groß gross (German for large).
