Metagross

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

Creature description

Metagross is a massive mechanical quadruped with a huge discus-shaped body that appears to be its head. It is the result of two of its earlier form, Metang, achieving fusion, with each Metang itself a fusion of two of an even earlier form named Beldum. Thus it is in possession of four brains that are joined by a complex neural network. As a result of this integration of simultaneously working brains, the specie can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer and is generally extremely intelligent. It is usually ground-bound but can float in the air by tucking in its four legs. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body and eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on the lower half of its body.

From when Metagross was introduced in the third generation, it was one of the strongest non-legendary Pokemon species to use for battle in the competitive metagame for the Pokémon RPGs.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Metagross is appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Poké Ball Pokémon and uses Meteor Mash, It is similar to the role of Venusaur in Super Smash Bros. Melee. When summoned, it slams a claw in the ground. Any opponent caught in the shockwave is buried in the ground and takes heavy damage. It struggles to grab the claw back out of the ground, before slamming another in. It repeats this several times. The attack does not harm the user.

Side Note

If Metagross is summoned on a soft platform, it will fall straight through it.

Glitch

If Metagross is summoned in a small space equivalent to the area of a block from stage builder, it starts "spazzing".

As a Trophy

It's said to have intelligence that can match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float.
