Metagross is one of the most powerful Steel/Psychic Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and getting your hands on one can give your team a serious boost. Whether you’re aiming to build a competitive squad or just want a solid powerhouse for your adventure, knowing where and how to obtain Metagross is key. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps, plus share a few tips from my own experience.

Understanding Metagross in Z-A

Metagross is the final evolution of Beldum, evolving from Metang at level 45. That means your journey starts with finding a Beldum first. Beldum is a bit rare in the wild, so patience is crucial here. While it might be tempting to rush through, catching a Beldum early ensures you have a fully evolved Metagross ready for later battles. Personally, I recommend leveling up Beldum while also training other Pokémon in your party to avoid a grinding grind once you evolve it.

Finding Beldum

Beldum tends to spawn in higher-level areas where Steel-type Pokémon are common. Players have reported sightings in zones like Stellar Crater and the surrounding highland caves. The spawn rate isn’t the highest, so you might have to check these areas multiple times. One little trick I found useful is to keep a Pokémon with abilities that increase spawn rates in your party—it slightly improves your chances of finding Beldum without wasting too much time.

Sometimes, for those who want to skip the hunting, there are online platforms like U4GM where you can buy shiny Pokémon. While I personally prefer catching my own, it’s a handy option if you’re looking for a shiny Metagross variant or just want to speed up your team-building.

Evolving Beldum to Metagross

Once you have Beldum, you’ll need to train it until it evolves into Metang at level 20, and then again until level 45 for Metagross. Because Beldum’s early moves are limited, focus on using it strategically in battles rather than grinding alone. Combining Beldum with teammates that can cover its weaknesses makes leveling much smoother.

A small tip: keep an eye out for Rare Candies or experience-boosting items you find along your journey. They save a ton of time, especially when you’re trying to reach level 45 for the evolution.

Alternative Acquisition Methods

For players who are more focused on convenience, you can also buy Pokémon for Legends Z-A through certain marketplaces. This is especially useful if you’re aiming to complete your Pokédex quickly or want a Metagross with optimized stats. Be careful, though, and make sure you’re using trustworthy sources to avoid any issues with your game. Personally, I recommend trying the in-game methods first, as catching and evolving your own Pokémon feels more rewarding, but having this option is nice if you’re in a pinch.

Preparing Your Team

Metagross is versatile but has a few weaknesses, mainly against Fire, Ghost, Dark, and Ground moves. Before you bring it into major battles, make sure your team can cover these weaknesses. When I first used Metagross in story missions, pairing it with a bulky Water-type or a fast Psychic Pokémon made a huge difference. This way, Metagross can safely dish out damage without constantly being in danger.

Additionally, teaching it strong moves like Meteor Mash or Zen Headbutt can make battles much smoother. I found that training Metagross alongside a balanced team allowed me to breeze through higher-level challenges while still enjoying the process.

Final Thoughts

Getting a Metagross in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is definitely a rewarding experience. Whether you prefer hunting for Beldum in the wild or using a service like U4GM to save some time, the payoff is worth it. Remember, patience is key—Metagross isn’t something you stumble upon instantly, but with the right strategy and a bit of persistence, you’ll have a powerhouse ready to take on any challenge.

And one last tip: if you’re aiming for a shiny Metagross, sometimes it’s worth considering options to buy shiny Pokémon through trusted platforms. It saves countless hours of hunting, especially if you’re chasing rare variants for your collection.

By combining careful hunting, smart training, and occasionally exploring alternative acquisition methods, your Metagross journey will be both efficient and enjoyable.
