Metagross (メタグロス, Metagross) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon franchise. It appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4 as a Poké Ball Pokémon.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Metagross appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Poké Ball Pokémon and uses Earthquake, which has effects similar to Venusaur's Frustration. 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.

Trivia

• 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, it simply vibrates vertically [1].
