Metagross (Japanese: メタグロス Metagross) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
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 massive, 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. It also gains four legs on the back of its head. The cross on its face turns 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 performing 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. Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two Beldum together. During Mega Evolution, Metagross becomes a ruthless Pokémon that will use any means to win in battle, being downright cruel at some points. If it knows it cannot win, Mega Metagross digs its claws into opponent and prepares to explode.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
Steven's Metagross
A Shiny Metagross that can Mega Evolve debuted in Mega Evolution Special II, under the ownership of Steven. It is his main battling Pokémon in the XY series.
Other
Metagross debuted in Destiny Deoxys, under the ownership of Rebecca. It was her main battling Pokémon.
Metagross made its main series debut in Like a Meowth to a Flame, under the ownership of Tyson. It reappeared in Choose It or Lose It! and At the End of the Fray during the Ever Grande Conference.
A Metagross debuted in Talking a Good Game!, under the ownership of Anabel. It was used during a battle against Ash in the Battle Tower, where it easily defeated Pikachu. It reappeared in Second Time's the Charm!, where it was used during Ash's rematch. It defeated Corphish before tying with Tauros.
A Metagross appeared in Glory Blaze!, under the ownership of a Psychic. It was a participant of the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition.
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 nonstop 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.
A Metagross appeared in Analysis Versus Passion!, under the ownership of Alain. It was revealed to have evolved from his Metang prior to the events of the episode. It first appeared on a display screen, but together with his Charizard, it had apparently knocked out the majority of the opponent's team. It later battled Ash's Pikachu in Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted! and lost.

In the TCG
- Main article: Metagross (TCG)
In the TFG
One Metagross figure has been released.
Other appearances
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 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 you’re 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!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Metagross returns once again as a Poké Ball summon, functioning the same as in Brawl and for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.
