No. 376: Metagross

It's been a while since we've had a truly balls-awesome Pokemon to review.

Metagross has 4 Beldum for legs, ties the line together, yeah yeah. I've said that before. But let's talk about how Metagross folds up his legs when he flies, like he's some sort of transforming robot. Because that shit is gold, I love it.

Also let's talk about how pissed he looks. Just take a gander, does that face look like the face of someone who fools around? No, Metagross came here to absolutely wreck some bitches, and he's gonna do it. That X on his face stands for how he doesn't take crap from anyone.

On a side note, his shiny sprite is silver and gold, which I think is universally acknowledged as being a pimp-ass color scheme.

But seriously, Metagross is amazing. And I love this piece of fan-art (by Tomioka Jiro):

The girl just looks so damn bored, to be riding along on a Metagross, blasting fools like it was no thing, plus she's got her computer hooked up to a Magneton.

In conclusion, if I had to choose 3 words to describe Metagross, they would be HOLY SHIT YES.


Overall: 10/10

  1. i was totally unaware of how awesome this guy was until i saw that particular piece of fanart.
    that's when i saw his cold facial expression and transformer-like quality.
    and now a year or so later, you've cemented my positive opinion of him with your agreeable words.

    if i were to ever re-play ruby/sapphire, i'd totally want to get one of these.

    ...and that fanart is yet another reason to be pissed that pokemon don't exist.
    i'd so love to be the one riding that thing around.

    1. Just go to Stevens house. He lets his pokebball unattended.

      His loss and your gain.

  2. sucks how you can't have a Metagrooss before beating the champion, unless you get it by trade (i guess that's the only way)
