This formidable Pokémon is essentially four Metang linked together, forming a supercomputer-like brain that can process information at an incredible speed, surpassing even supercomputers. Its intelligence is matched only by its immense physical power, using its four legs, each ending in a sharp claw, to anchor itself to the ground or to crush opponents.
