Metang #94

The Metang 94/86 from the Chaos Rising set is an Illustration Rare and a Secret Rare card, making it a notable acquisition for collectors due to its inherent scarcity. Its numbering beyond the set's standard count, combined with its high rarity classification, indicates a lower pull rate, which significantly contributes to its collector appeal. The distinctive artwork by Kurata So is a primary driver of its value, characteristic of Illustration Rare cards that showcase unique artistic interpretations of Pokémon.

This Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon boasts 100 HP and features the attack Guard Press, which reduces incoming damage by 30 during the opponent's next turn, highlighting its defensive capabilities. Kurata So's illustration likely captures the essence of Metang as described in its flavor text: "It is formed by two Beldum joining together. Its steel body won't be scratched if it collides with a jet." The Pokédex further elaborates on its formation, stating, "When two BELDUM fuse together, METANG is formed. The brains of the BELDUM are joined by a magnetic nervous system. By linking its brains magnetically, this POKéMON generates strong psychokinetic power," adding depth to the card's distinctive portrayal.
