Metagross: Difference between revisions

{{Pokemon|

{{pkmn|Metagross}} is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #376 as the "Iron Leg Pokémon". It evolves from {{pkmn|Metang}} at level 45, which evolves from {{pkmn|Beldum}} at level 20. All of them are very rare and hard to catch, and can only be found very late in any game they appear in. Metagross is the signature Pokémon of the Hoenn {{iw|bulbapedia|Champion}} {{iw|bulbapedia|Steven Stone}}, and it also gained a {{iw|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Earthquake|move}} is a physical Ground-type move with 100 base power and 100% accuracy which hits all Pokémon adjacent to the user. Its good type coverage, high power with no drawbacks and wide availability make it a staple of many movesets. Metagross, like many other Pokémon, can learn it using {{iw|bulbapedia|TM26}}. Stat-wise, Metagross has great Attack and Defense, but its Special stats are average and Speed is relatively low.

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

:{{Flag|North America}} ''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.

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''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!''

*If Metagross is summoned in a small space equivalent to the area of a normal sized block from [[Stage Builder]], it doesn't move normally. Instead, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV9PHc2CpeA it simply vibrates vertically].
