Metang (Japanese: メタング Metang) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves from Beldum starting at level 20, and evolves into Metagross starting at level 45.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Metang is a robotic lifeform that has a disc-shaped body with a pair of appendages that 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 magnetised, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. It is said to be related to Magneton, but Metang's magnetism focuses on Psychic-type moves instead of Electric-type moves. Metang is capable of two rare Steel-type moves, Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash. It can also use some Psychic-type moves such as Psychic and Zen Headbutt. 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.

Behavior

Habitat

Metang tend to live in areas with rough terrain, but they are even harder to find than Beldum (which is already very rare).

Diet

In the anime

Morrison's Beldum evolved into Metang during the Hoenn League in Saved by the Beldum.

In Bibarel Gnaws Best!, the head engineer owns a Metang.

In the manga

Each member of the Hoenn Elite Four (except Wallace) own a Metang. They use them to fly around Hoenn. Steven's Metang, however, is something of a miner. It helps him locate and dig up rare stones in various caves.
