Strategy & play
How Metang 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 ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Beldum; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Seen in 4% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 4 copies.
How to beat Metang
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"Two Beldum have become stuck together via their own magnetic forces. With two brains, the resulting Metang has doubled psychic powers."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Metang is real?
Metang 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.
