Item Description

Metagross has been one of the most beloved pseudo-legendary Pokemon since its introduction in the Hoenn region, and its presence in the Pokemon Trading Card Game has always commanded attention. Built from the fusion of four Beldum through a pair of Metang, this Steel and Psychic-type behemoth is defined by its massive intellect — supposedly smarter than a supercomputer — and its imposing, spider-like mechanical frame. On the tabletop, Metagross has historically been a tank with serious offensive capability, and collectors with a soft spot for the Hoenn era have always sought out its printings with a particular kind of enthusiasm.

The SV05: Temporal Forces set arrived as part of the Scarlet and Violet era of the Pokemon TCG, bringing with it a deep roster of cards that blend competitive relevance with strong collector appeal. Temporal Forces leaned heavily into the Ancient and Future mechanical identities introduced in the Scarlet and Violet block, while also weaving in a broad mix of classic Pokemon reimagined through the set's distinctive visual language. The set earned a strong reputation for its artwork quality and for the density of desirable pulls packed into its lineup.

Card number 178/162 places this Metagross beyond the set's standard numbered roster, landing it in the coveted Special Illustration Rare or similar premium tier territory — the kind of card that sits outside the base set count and draws immediate interest from collectors hunting for the cards that make a complete set genuinely difficult to finish. Cards in this range typically feature elevated artwork, often full-art or textured treatments, that transform a familiar Pokemon into something closer to a gallery piece than a game piece.

The foil treatment on a card like this catches light in a way that makes Metagross's metallic, geometric design feel especially at home. Its cold steel coloring and angular limbs translate beautifully to the high-contrast sheen of a premium foil finish, and whether this one is destined for a sleeve in a competitive deck or a top-loader in a binder, it carries real visual presence.

This card is a natural fit for Pokemon TCG collectors working toward a complete Temporal Forces set, fans of Metagross who want every significant printing of their favorite Pokemon, or players who appreciate pairing strong competitive potential with genuinely striking card art. If you're building out your Scarlet and Violet era collection, this is exactly the kind of beyond-the-set-number card you don't want to overlook.
