===Physiology===
[[File:Metagross floating.png|thumb|250px|left|Metagross floating and carrying passengers on its back]]
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{P|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.
Metagross is a massive, robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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.
 
Metagross is the result of two {{p|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 {{wp|supercomputer}}. It is imbued with psychic powers and uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. Metagross uses its fantastic strength to pin down a victim using its four claws and body. This allows Metagross to use its large mouth and teeth to chew its victim to pieces. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}. Metagross can also be found living in snowy mountains as their magnetic powers become stronger in freezing temperatures.
 
===Forms===
Metagross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Metagross.
 
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.
 
Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two {{p|Beldum}} together. 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. Because Mega Evolution stimulates its multiple brains and increases its intelligence, Mega Metagross becomes a ruthless combatant that will clutch at victory by absolutely any means, no matter how horrifyingly cruel. If victory is deemed impossible, Metagross will attempt to dig its claws into its opponent and prepare to explode.

===Stats===
====Base stats====
=====Metagross=====
{{BaseStats
|type=Steel
|type2=Psychic
|HP=      80
|Attack= 135
|Defense=130
|SpAtk=  95
|SpDef=  90
|Speed=  70}}


In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{P|Magneton}} or {{P|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{P|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.
=====Mega Metagross=====
{{Base Stats
|type=Steel
|type2=Psychic
|HP=80
|Attack=145
|Defense=150
|SpAtk=105
|SpDef=110
|Speed=110}}


Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{P|Alakazam}}. It can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together.

====Special abilities====
===Learnset===
Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
Metagross is available in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}} Version 3.0.0+.

{{main|Steven's Metagross}}
{{Dex
{{Steven}} owns a Metagross, who first appeared in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. It carries him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{p|Metang}} and many {{p|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, it was revealed to have gained the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross with Steven's Mega Stickpin.

|rubydex=Metagross has four brains in total. Combined, the four brains can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer. This Pokémon can float in the air by tucking in its four legs.
|sapphiredex=Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} achieving fusion. When hunting, this Pokémon pins the prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on its stomach.
|emeralddex=Metagross has four brains that are joined by a complex neural network. As a result of integration, this Pokémon is smarter than a supercomputer.
|firereddex=It is formed by two {{p|Metang}} fusing. Its four brains are said to be superior to a supercomputer.
|leafgreendex=It is formed by two {{p|Metang}} fusing. Its four brains are said to be superior to a supercomputer.

In ''[[PS323|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up I]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} borrowed a Metagross caught by {{adv|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.

Upon its release from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|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.


====By [[Move tutor|tutoring]]====
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross]]
* Although it is said that Metagross is made up of two Metang, 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 getting together 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.
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these [[move]]s with or without its [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Metagross is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] that does not have a 4× weakness.
* Metagross'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: 192.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution the earliest of all [[Pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Despite being a gender unknown species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves.
* Metagross and its pre-evolved forms all share both their standard and Hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.
** It is also the only genderless pseudo-legendary.
* Mega Metagross is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* Metagross's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* At the time of its introduction, Metagross was the only fully-evolved pseudo-Legendary Pokémon to not possess a 4 times weakness to any type.
* Metagross has the highest Attack stat of any Steel-type and the second highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Metagross is also the only pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that, in its debut generation, had no members of its evolutionary line able to be encountered in the wild.
* Metagross is the fifth heaviest Pokémon, and the heaviest of all non-legendary Pokémon.
 
*Metagross, along with its pre-evolutions, are the only non-legendary Pokemon to have a catch rate of 3.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}. It may also be based on spider mechs.
Metagross appears to be based on a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|supercomputer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a {{wp|spider}}. Additionally, it is reminiscent of a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}. Metagross's face may draw inspiration from the largest gear of the {{wp|Antikythera mechanism}}, an ancient {{wp|analog computer}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its size.
Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212&nbsp;lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or ''groß'' (German for ''large'').
