'''Metang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタング''' ''Metang'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} Pokémon.
}}
'''Metang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタング''' ''Metang'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Beldum}} starting at [[level]] 20, and evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.  
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Beldum}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metang is a robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with teal, metallic skin. It has a disc-shaped body with a pair of flat, gray spikes on either side toward the rear. A jet cannot scratch Metang due to its strong body. There is a gray spike in the middle of its face, similar to a nose. A pair of red eyes reside in two holes in its metallic skin. While it appears to lack legs, it has a pair of thick arms with three claws on the ends. The arms are considerably thicker below the elbow and have a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the joint.
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 {{p|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. When not levitating, it stands on its appendages, similar to its evolution. It may use its appendages like boosters to gain speed.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.


====Special abilities====
Metang is formed when two {{p|Beldum}} fuse together. A magnetic nervous system joins the brains of these two Pokémon. This linkage allows Metang to generate a strong, psychokinetic power that is doubled. However, this does not increase its intellect. This Pokémon's high intelligence and strong magnetic field are other sources of powerful psychic energy. In addition to generating psychic power, its magnetism allows Metang to hover in midair. It is able to rotate its arms backwards in order to travel at speeds over 60 mph (100 km/h) in search of prey. When Metang finds its prey, it uses its psychic power to stop it from escaping. Then it firmly grabs onto the prey with its claws, never letting go. Metang's claws are able to rip through steel. This Pokémon lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}} and harsh mountains. It pursues {{p|Nosepass}}, loving its magnetic minerals.
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 {{type2|Psychic}} moves instead of {{type2|Electric}} moves. Metang is capable of two rare {{type2|Steel}} moves, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Meteor Mash}}. It can also use some Psychic-type moves such as {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Metang has a few {{t|Rock}}-type moves at its disposal, such as {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. A couple of anomalies in Metang's movepool include {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. Metang can also learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, despite being second in a 3-tiered evolution line.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
===Habitat===
Metang evolves from {{p|Beldum}} and evolves into {{p|Metagross}}.
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Metang tend to live in areas with rough terrain, but they are even harder to find than Beldum (which are already very rare).

==In the anime==
[[File:Sophocles Metang.png|thumb|250px|Metang in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Morrison's Metang]]====
Metang debuted in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', after [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolved whilst battling {{OBP|Jump|AG126}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}} in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. It was mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]].
 
====Other====
In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the [[head engineer]] used a Metang with an {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Magmar}} to attack a {{p|Bibarel}}, but Bibarel dodged its attack. It was eventually defeated by a combination of [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, and [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks.
 
In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', a Metang was affected by [[Team Galactic]]'s meddling on [[Iron Island]].
 
In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', [[Alain]] used a Metang in a battle against [[Ash's Noivern]] and was able to defeat it in a close match. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was revealed that Metang had evolved into a Metagross.
 
Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', {{an|Sophocles}} used a [[Poké Ride|Ride]] Metang for [[Ultra Guardians]] missions. In ''[[SM095|Sparking Confusion!]]'', it battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.
 
In ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', [[Orla]]'s Metagross appeared as a Metang during a flashback.
 
===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', [[J's henchmen]] used multiple Metang to attack the [[Battle Pyramid]]. They were eventually defeated by {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|Bubble Beam}}.
 
In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', a Metang was on the Cianwood Greens Pokémon Baccer team with a {{p|Beldum}} and {{p|Metagross}}, which competed in the [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]]. It reappeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
 
===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Morrison Metang AP.png|thumb|200px|Metang in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Morrison's Metang}}
Similar to his anime counterpart, [[Morrison]] owns a Metang. It appeared in ''[[SP31|A Clash Of Wills!! Eternal Rivals?!]]'', where it evolved from his Beldum.
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{Steven}} owns several Metang that first appeared in ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]''. He uses one to help him locate and dig up rare stones in various caves. Four others were used as standing platforms for each of the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] members.
 
The {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} rented a Metang, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.
 
===Pokémon Try Adventure===

==Trivia==
==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, ''[[AG126|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.
* Although it is said that Metang is made up of two {{p|Beldum}}, this is never shown in any [[Pokémon]] media, though it is mentioned in the [[Pokédex]]. In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', the only {{pkmn|anime}} episode to date to show a Beldum [[evolution]], when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Despite this, in ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', the Pokédex claims that "Metang is created from the union of two Beldum."
*Metang's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 191. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metang's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 191.
* Metang and its evolutionary relatives all share both their standard and hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.


===Origin===
===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 {{wp|crab}}.
Metang is made of two Beldum merged. Aside from that, it is visually similar to both {{wp|flying saucer}}s and {{wp|crab}}s.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Metang's name may be a combination of ''metal'' and the onomatopoeic sound of metal, ''tang''. Metang's name is also an anagram of ''{{wp|magnet}}''.
