Strategy & play

How Metagross plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Metallic Hammer) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 150 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥90 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.

How to beat Metagross

  • Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥90 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Metagross is real?

Metagross is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
