Metagross 10/146 · Legends Awakened

Legends Awakened is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on August 1, 2008. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. Metagross is 10/146, in position 10 of 146 on this checklist. Before it is 9 Mamoswine, and after it is 11 Mewtwo. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Metagross is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 58. In the Pokédex this is Metagross (#376), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Metang. In this catalog that name is Metang (#375).

Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this card. The same name is on 74 other cards in the catalog.

Metagross (#376) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Metagross 11/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 33 other cards of Metagross list a different HP.

Magnetic Reversal is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with 1 of the Defending Pokémon. This power can't be used if Metagross is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Extra Comet Punch lists 50 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. During your next turn, Metagross's Extra Comet Punch attack's base damage is 100. Weakness is Fire +30. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Metang combined to form it. With four brains, it has the intelligence of a supercomputer."

I keep a set binder for Legends Awakened, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legends Awakened set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Metagross can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
