In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 420, Metang plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Defense at 100, while Speed (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Steel, Psychic combination gives Metang 9 resistances, 1 immunity, and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Metang a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
