Generation III · #10076 — Iron Leg Pokémon
Mega Metagross is the Mega Evolution of Metagross, a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon that represents the ultimate fusion of computational power and physical might. Introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mega Metagross transforms from an already formidable pseudo-legendary into an even more devastating force, boasting a total base stat of 700—a 100-point increase from its standard form. This massive increase in power, particularly in Attack (from 135 to 145), Defense (from 130 to 150), and Speed (from 70 to 110), makes Mega Metagross one of the most threatening Pokémon in competitive play. The transformation is achieved through the use of the Metagrossite, which amplifies the already legendary four-brain system that exceeds the processing capability of any supercomputer.

Metagross-mega Biology & Physical Characteristics
Mega Metagross undergoes a dramatic physical transformation upon Mega Evolution, growing from 1.6 meters to an imposing 2.5 meters in height and increasing in weight from 550 kilograms to 942.9 kilograms. Its turquoise, disc-shaped body becomes more armored and imposing, with its four steel legs appearing more powerful and pronounced. The biological wonder of Metagross—its fusion of two Metang—becomes even more integrated during Mega Evolution, with its four brains forming an even more complex neural network that approaches levels of cognition thought impossible for a Pokémon. The Pokédex describes this creature as the result of two Metang achieving fusion, and in its Mega form, this fusion reaches its absolute peak of efficiency. The ability to float by tucking in its four legs becomes even more pronounced in this form, allowing Mega Metagross to achieve aerial maneuvers that belie its massive weight.

Metagross-mega Breeding, Gender Ratio & Egg Groups
Metagross and its Mega Evolution are genderless Pokémon, existing entirely outside the typical biological reproduction framework that applies to most creatures in the Pokémon world. This genderlessness is thematically appropriate given that Metagross is itself the result of fusion between two Metang, representing a form of artificial or symbiotic reproduction rather than traditional biological processes. The Mineral egg group classification indicates that Metagross reproduces in a manner fundamentally different from sexually-dimorphic species, though the precise mechanisms remain scientifically mysterious. Despite their inability to breed naturally, Metagross can participate in breeding chains when crossed with Ditto, allowing trainers to obtain eggs containing Beldum. The 40-egg cycle required for Metagross eggs to hatch reflects the species' slow growth rate, a characteristic shared with other pseudo-legendary Pokémon that take longer to reach their full developmental potential.

metagross-mega's Evolution Chain
Metagross-mega Evolution, Mega Evolution & Special Forms
Metagross reaches its ultimate form through Mega Evolution when holding the Metagrossite. This Mega Evolution is not merely a power increase—it represents the apex of the Beldum evolutionary line that begins at level 20 when Beldum evolves into Metang, and continues at level 45 when Metang fuses to become Metagross. The Mega Evolution of Metagross marks the culmination of this progression, transforming the final form into something that transcends normal Pokémon capability. The stat distribution of Mega Metagross reveals the nature of this transformation: while maintaining its HP at 80, it gains 10 points in Attack, 20 in Defense, 10 in Special Attack, 20 in Special Defense, and 40 in Speed. This balanced enhancement throughout all offensive and defensive categories makes Mega Metagross an all-purpose powerhouse. The acquisition of the Tough Claws ability during Mega Evolution is particularly significant, amplifying the power of all contact moves by 33 percent, synergizing perfectly with Metagross's diverse physical move pool.

Metagross-mega Behaviour and Natural Habitat
Mega Metagross is an aggressive and highly intelligent predator that hunts with calculated precision. When pursuing prey, it pins its target to the ground beneath its massive body weight before consuming helpless victims through the large mouth located on its stomach. The four brains working in concert give Mega Metagross a level of strategic thinking that rivals that of human tacticians, making it capable of executing complex battle plans with flawless execution. Its intelligence is not merely theoretical—it is applied with devastating practical effect, allowing it to adapt mid-battle and exploit weaknesses in opponent defenses. The creature's relatively low base happiness of 35 suggests a nature more inclined toward cold calculation than affection, treating its trainer as a strategic partner rather than a companion. In battle, Mega Metagross demonstrates unparalleled focus and determination, using its supercomputer-level analysis to outthink and overpower even the most challenging opponents.

Metagross-mega Name Origin & Design Inspiration
The name Metagross combines 'metal' with 'gross' (likely from the German 'Gros,' meaning large), reflecting its nature as a colossal metallic creature. In Japanese, it is called Metagurosu, maintaining this phonetic structure. The design draws inspiration from arthropods and mechanical constructs, with its four-legged structure and disc-shaped body creating an appearance that feels both biological and mechanical. The turquoise coloration provides a distinctive visual identity, while the four separate leg structures emphasize the quad-brain concept central to its identity. Mega Metagross's design amplifies these elements, becoming larger and more imposing while maintaining the essential geometric purity of the original form. The Iron Leg Pokémon classification perfectly encapsulates the creature's nature as a mobile platform of steel and intelligence, and the Mega Evolution takes this concept to its logical extreme, creating something that appears equally at home on the ground or floating through the air.

Metagross-mega Competitive Battle Guide
Mega Metagross stands as one of the most formidable threats in competitive Pokémon battling, with its access to an exceptional movepool and the Tough Claws ability creating devastating combinations. The ability amplifies contact moves like Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, and Hammer Arm by 33 percent, turning these already powerful attacks into the kind of damage-dealing weapons capable of threatening even bulky defensive cores. With an Attack stat of 145 and a Speed stat of 110, Mega Metagross can outspeed many threats while delivering overwhelming force, though priority moves like Bullet Punch allow it to strike first even against faster opponents. The balanced defensive stats of 150 Defense and 110 Special Defense, combined with its Steel/Psychic typing, grant it useful resistances to Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Normal, Psychic, and Rock types, though it remains vulnerable to Fire and Ground-type attacks. Its relatively slow special attack stat of 105 means it is primarily a physical attacker, but this plays directly into its Tough Claws advantage, making it a hyper-specialized sweeper designed to eliminate threats through sheer physical dominance.

Metagross-mega Cultural Impact & Franchise History
Mega Metagross has become an iconic symbol of competitive Pokémon excellence and the pseudo-legendary class, frequently appearing in official artwork, promotional materials, and competitive tournament rosters. Steven Stone, the Champion of the Hoenn region, uses Mega Metagross as his signature Pokémon in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where it serves as the climactic obstacle for players to overcome, cementing its status as a symbol of legendary trainer power. The design has appeared across numerous Pokémon media franchises, including appearances in Pokémon Masters, the Super Smash Bros. series, and Pokémon UNITE, extending its reach far beyond the main game series. The concept of the four-brain supercomputer has captured fan imagination for decades, inspiring fan theories, artwork, and competitive strategy discussions. Mega Metagross's combination of elegance, raw power, and mechanical complexity has made it a favorite among both casual players and competitive professionals, securing its position as one of the most beloved Pokémon in the franchise.
Where to Find Metagross-mega in Every Pokémon Game
Mega Metagross is available across numerous Pokémon games, with the Metagrossite required for Mega Evolution typically available in post-game content. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where Mega Metagross was introduced, the stone can be obtained from Champion Steven Stone after defeating him. The species appears in local Pokédexes across multiple games: as #0192 in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, #0264 in Black 2/White 2, #0201 in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, #0216 in Sun/Moon's Alola Dex, #0280 in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon's expanded Alola Dex, and various other positions in newer games including Sword and Shield's Expansion Pass and Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Players can catch Beldum, the base form of the evolutionary line, in most games and raise it through the levels to eventually obtain Metagross and subsequently Mega Metagross. The species' rarity is reflected in its low catch rate of 3 (approximately 0.4% with a standard Pokéball), making capturing a Beldum a notable achievement that rewards dedicated trainers with access to one of the most powerful Pokémon available.
