Appearance[]

Metagross physically resembles a massive mechanical spider with a turquoise-colored body somewhat resembling the shape of a saucer. Its face is covered with a large X-like structure. On each end of Metagross' four legs are stubby claws that Metagross uses to grip onto rough terrain. Metagross is also able to magnetically levitate on its own and tuck in its four legs to move faster. In its Mega Evolved state, Metagross substitutes its terrestrial mobility in favor of flight. Its legs are now shifted to the front and its claws are more curved and sharper. The x-shaped marking on Metagross's face is now yellow instead of silver and a distinct spike protrudes from Metagross's chin.
