'''Metagross''' ({{ja|メタグロス|Metagurosu}}, ''Metagross'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} franchise.

==Origin==
{{pkmn|Metagross}} is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #376 as the "Iron Leg Pokémon". It evolves from {{pkmn|Metang}} at level 45, which evolves from {{pkmn|Beldum}} at level 20. Metagross and its evolutionary line are usually rare and hard to catch, and are usually found very late in any game they appear in. Metagross is the signature Pokémon of the Hoenn {{iw|bulbapedia|Champion}} {{iw|bulbapedia|Steven Stone}}, and it also gained a {{iw|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''. Stat-wise, Metagross has great Attack and Defense stats, but its Special stats are average and Speed stat is relatively low.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Earthquake|move}} is a physical Ground-type move with 100 base power and 100% accuracy, which hits all Pokémon adjacent to the user. Its good type coverage, high power with no drawbacks and wide availability make it a staple of many Pokémon's movesets. Metagross, like many other Pokémon, can learn it using {{iw|bulbapedia|TM26}}.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Metagrossbrawl.jpg|thumb|Metagross in ''Brawl''.]]
Metagross appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a Poké Ball Pokémon and uses Earthquake, which has effects similar to [[Venusaur]]'s version of the move.
When summoned, it slams its arms in the ground. Any opponent caught in the shockwave is buried in the ground and takes heavy damage. When it slams its claw while the opponent is buried or in mid-air, they will be sent upward. It struggles to grab the claw back out of the ground, before slamming another in. It repeats this several times before disappearing. The attack does not harm the user.

Interestingly, Metagross is not recognized as an object as soon as it comes out. Because of this, It will fall through soft platforms when summoned on one.

It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.

|desc-pal=A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's even heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope you're far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!

[[File:Metagross Earthquake SSBU.png|thumb|Metagross preparing to attack a grounded {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}.]]
Metagross returns as a Poké Ball summon, unchanged from ''Smash 4''; however, aesthetics-wise, its voice is deeper and has a metallic filter over it.

Metagross cannot be summoned on [[3D Land]], [[Arena Ferox]], [[Golden Plains]], [[Kongo Falls]], [[Spirit Train]], [[Tomodachi Life]] nor [[Tortimer Island]].

==Trivia==
*Metagross was the first {{s|bulbapedia|pseudo-legendary Pokémon}} to make an appearance in ''Smash''.
*In ''Brawl'', if Metagross is summoned in a small space equivalent to the area of a normal sized block from [[Stage Builder]], it doesn't move normally. Instead, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV9PHc2CpeA it simply vibrates vertically].
