'''Metanite''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that utilized the {{TCG|Holon Engine}} to take advantage of the obvious synergy between {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}}'s ''Crush and Burn'' attack and {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}'s ''Delta Charge'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}. The deck saw play almost immediately after the release of Metagross δ, Dragonite δ, and {{TCG|Holon Transceiver}} in the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} expansion. When it received additional support in the form of {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}} and others in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} set, many competitive players declared it the ultimate deck to beat. It was one of three dominant archetypes to be broken down in the July 2007 issue of [[Beckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector]], the other two being {{TCG|Raieggs}} and a simplistic variant of {{TCG|R-Gon}}.

* '''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}''' – Rare Candy has been a critical card in Stage 2-centric decks throughout the game’s history. By allowing the Metanite player to skip an evolution, he or she could evolve directly from {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dratini δ|65}} to Dragonite δ and {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Beldum δ|59}} to Metagross δ, thus greatly increasing the deck’s speed and consistency. | * '''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}''' – Rare Candy has been a critical card in Stage 2-centric decks throughout the game’s history.
