Revision as of 01:13, 3 November 2013
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.
Biology
Metagross is a quadruped tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise, discus shaped main body appear to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. It has a metallic cross adorning its face formed by its tusks crossing diagonally between its two red eyes, in the shape of an X and cross, arranged to resemble both metallic eyebrows and a metallic mustache. Its high intelligence is very similar to a supercomputer. It can float in the air by tucking its four legs. It uses its body to pin down its prey and then eats it with its large mouth. It lives in rough terrains.
In the anime
Major appearances
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. Because 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
Shiny Metagross in the anime
Another Metagross appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions under the ownership of a Pokémon Baccer.

In the manga

Steven and his Metagross
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Steven in Pokémon Adventures owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a Metang and many Beldum, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.
Emerald borrowed a Metagross caught by Crystal for use in the Battle Dome final against Tucker, which Emerald ultimately lost. Tucker himself also mentioned having a Metagross which has yet to be seen.
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Koya has a Metagross which first appeared in A New Battle Begins!.
In the TCG
- Main article: Metagross (TCG)
In the TFG
One Metagross figure has been released.
Other appearances
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."
