Evolution Chain
Metang is part of a three-stage evolution family. In the main Pokemon series, Beldum (Dex #245) evolves into Metang at level 20, and Metang evolves into Metagross (Dex #247) at level 45. In Pokopia, there is no evolution mechanic, so each member must be found at its own habitat independently. Beldum shares the Professor's Apprentice Program habitat with Metang, while Metagross is found Paradise habitat.
Tips
The Professor's Apprentice Program habitat uses tech-themed items like a Laptop and Jumbled Cords. These items may require electricity, so pair the habitat with a Generator or a Pokemon with the Generate specialty.
Metang's Recycle specialty is helpful for managing garbage buildup on your island. If nonburnable waste is piling up, station Metang nearby to convert it into iron ore.
Since Metang and Beldum share the same habitat, building the Professor's Apprentice Program lets you encounter both Pokemon at once.
Metang's preference for metal and complicated stuff aligns perfectly with the tech-themed furniture in its habitat, giving it a natural Comfort Level boost.
