Strategy & play
How Metagross-GX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥125 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Metang first).
How to beat Metagross-GX
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥125 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Metagross-GX is real?
Metagross-GX 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.
