Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote.

| Metagross made its sole appearance in Noodles! Roamin' Off!. After Jessie, James, and Meowth had disbanded, James went after this Metagross, with the intention of presenting it to the boss and crediting the whole trio, believing the promise of success to be enough to bring Jessie and Meowth back. However, James was unaware that this particular Metagross was notorious for its vicious temperament and its reputation for injuring all challengers. Once Jessie learned that James was going after the Metagross, she and Meowth rushed to his aid. This was well-timed, as James, Mime Jr., and Carnivine were all tied up by Carnivine's own vines, and about to be finished off, Seviper and Yanmega came to the rescue, knocking Metagross into a canyon. Ultimately though, Metagross sent Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful Gyro Ball.
Metagross's known moves are Psychic, Rock Slide, Lock-On, Hyper Beam, Magnet Rise, and Gyro Ball.
