Metang (Japanese: メタング Metangu) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Metang appears to be a living robot levitating through the air with a disc shaped body. It has two red eyes and a pointy sliver nose. It has two circle shaped arms and there are three silver claws coming out of each one. Metang is always seeking magnetic minerals and is always drawn to Nosepass.

Special Abilities

It has the ability to Levitate. Despite that, it does not have the ability Levitate. It has the ability Clear Body which prevents any stat reductions.

Metang is composed of two Beldums fused together. It possesses a very strong body that cannot be scratched, even when colliding head on with a jet plane. Metang's psychic abilities are amplified further when its two brains combine, using it to immobilize prey.

Evolution

Metang evolves from Beldum starting at level 20, and evolves into Metagross starting at level 45.
