Steven's MetangDestined Rivals #144 Pokémon Card

Metang is a unique Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Beldum and into Metagross. Its body is composed of two Beldum linked together, their brains connected to form a complex neural network. This fusion grants Metang immense psychic power and intelligence, making it a formidable opponent. Metang typically inhabits mountainous regions and caves, often found levitating silently as it hunts for prey or observes its surroundings with its four eyes. Its diet primarily consists of mineral deposits, which it crushes with its powerful claws. In the games, Metang is a strong mid-stage evolution, known for its high Defense and Special Defense stats. In the anime, it's often depicted as a loyal and powerful companion, notably owned by Steven Stone, the Hoenn region's Champion, highlighting its strength and strategic value. Metang’s design, resembling a robotic crab or tank, has made it a fan favorite, embodying a blend of mechanical prowess and psychic mystique, and its evolutionary line is a staple in competitive play due to its sheer power and defensive capabilities.
