*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.
