Metang is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It features two distinct attack options, Psychic Boom and Quick Blow, each with unique energy costs and damage calculations. Psychic Boom requires one Psychic and two Colorless Energy, dealing 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each Energy attached to the defending Pokémon. Quick Blow demands one Psychic and three Colorless Energy, inflicting 40 damage plus 20 more if a coin flip results in heads. The Pokémon’s retreat cost is two Colorless Energy, reflecting its strategic positioning in battle. Metang’s weaknesses highlight its vulnerability to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. It belongs to the EX series, specifically the EX Trainer Kit 2 Plusle set, released in March 2006. The card’s artwork was created by artist Hisao Nakamura, and it carries the Pokédex number 375. As a rare card in the series, Metang’s design and mechanics align with the set’s thematic focus on training and competitive play.
