Metang 5/12 · EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle

Metang, EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle #5

EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle is a set in the EX series. It was released on 1 March 2006. The printed size is 12, and the checklist is the same length. Metang is 5/12, in position 5 of 12 on this checklist. Before it is 4 Meowth, and after it is 6 Plusle.

Metang is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Metang (#375), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Beldum. In this catalog that name is Beldum (#374). The card lists Metagross, Metagross (#376) under evolves to.

Hisao Nakamura illustrated this card. The same name is on 71 other cards in the catalog.

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). Both list 80 HP. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Hisao Nakamura illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Metang list a different HP.

The attack Psychic Boom lists 10+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. Quick Blow is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Metang can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
