Metagross

Description

Released in 2018, this Stage 2 Pokémon evolves from Metang and boasts a sturdy 170 HP, making it a resilient choice for deck building. The card features a striking reverse holo treatment that enhances its visual appeal within the set. As a Metal-type Pokémon, it brings specific strategic advantages to the battlefield, appealing to fans of the genre. Metagross is known for its advanced computational abilities, utilizing parallel processing across its four brains to perform calculations in a flash. This lore is reflected in its card mechanics, which include the ability Extend. This ability ensures that your turn does not end when you play Steven's Resolve, provided Metagross is your Active Pokémon. This mechanic adds a layer of strategic depth, allowing for more flexible play sequences. In addition to its ability, Metagross features the Metal Meteor Mash attack, dealing 60 damage. This attack has a unique secondary effect: during your next turn, it deals an additional 60 damage before applying Weakness and Resistance. This makes it a formidable attacker in the right context. The card's retreat cost is 4, which collectors should consider when evaluating its usability. Designed by artist TOKIYA, this card represents a key piece of the Celestial Storm series, capturing the essence of the Pokémon universe's metallic threats. It remains a sought-after item for those completing the set or seeking to enhance their collection with this iconic Stage 2 Pokémon.
