Metang (Japanese: メタング Metang) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Metang is a robotic lifeform that has a disc-shaped body with a pair of appendages the resemble Beldum. It has two red eyes and a pointy nose. Even though Metang and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat and a way of reproducing. Metang has been said to be related to Magneton due to the fact that both of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air, and probably due to the fact that they evolve in a similar fashion, it takes two Beldum to evolve into a Metang and two Metang to evolve into a Metagross.
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
Metang's body is magnetized, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks.

Metang has a few Rock-type moves at its disposal, such as Rock Tomb and Rock Slide. A couple of anomalies in Metang's movepool include Grass Knot and Sludge Bomb. Metang can also learn Hyper Beam, despite being second in a 3-tiered evolution line.

Trivia
- Although it is said that Metang is made up of two Beldum, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, Saved by the Beldum, when Morrison's Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
Origin
Metang has the features of two Beldum merged together, along with a flying saucer-like rim with spikes jutting out. It is also similar to a crab.
Name origin
Metang's name is a combination of metal and angstrom. It is also an anagram of magnet. A tang is also the part of a sword, knife, et al. that joins the base or handle and is an onomatopoeic sound of metal. Tang may also refer to tangent, a trigonometric ratio, referring to its psychic typing.
