Metang 90/102 · Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos

Metang is Pokédex #375, generation 3 (Hoenn). Metang is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Beldum. In this catalog that name is Beldum (#374).

Metang sits at 90/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos, position 90 of 165. Before it is 89 Feraligatr, and after it is 91 Koraidon. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on January 1, 2023. The printed size is 102. This checklist is longer, at 165 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

Metal Maker is listed as Ability. Once during your turn, you may look at the top 4 cards of your deck and attach any number of Basic Metal Energy cards you find there to your Pokémon in any way you like. Shuffle the other cards and put them on the bottom of your deck. The attack Beam lists 60 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Two Beldum have become stuck together via their own magnetic forces. With two brains, the resulting Metang has doubled psychic powers." The regulation mark is H.

Metang (#375) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Metang 23/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Uta illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Metang list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Uta. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Metang can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
