Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #227. Metagross brings Steel and Psychic typing into Lumiose and its Attack stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Metagross fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Metagross in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Metagross is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #227 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Metagross directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A is Steel and Psychic. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Metagross is weak to Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Metagross is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Metagross resists Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy, and Psychic. It is also immune to Poison. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 600. Its standout base stat is Attack at 135, while Speed at 70 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Metagross, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Its combined defensive numbers are substantial, giving it more raw durability than a purely glass-cannon stat line. Its Speed sits in the middle of the spread rather than defining the entire Pokémon.
How Metagross Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Metagross because battles happen in real time. There is also genuine offensive weight in the stat line, so the move pool has something meaningful to build around rather than relying on chip damage alone. The bulk is another part of the picture: HP and defensive stats give it a sturdier base for surviving exchanges while you manage positioning and cooldowns.
Metagross Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Metagross, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Metagross Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Metagross in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Metagross from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Metagross Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Metagross: a standout Attack stat of 135, dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile, and a strong 600 base stat total. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Metagross has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
