Metang (Japanese: メタング Metang) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Physiology
Metang is robotic lifeform that has long body with a set of claws sticking out of its rear end. It has one large red eye in the center of its nearly-round head, which is set into a ball-and-socket joint at its front end. It has a short crest above its head, projecting from its body. Even though Beldum and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat and a way of reproducing. Beldum has been said to be related to Magnemite due to the fact that both of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air.
