Metagross or Salmence?
 
Who do you prefer more? I like both but I thing I prefer Metagross more simply because of its Meteor Mash move that worked really well with its high attack. It works really well to feel like it can O.K almost anything.

Nice choice! I prefer Salamence myself. Ever since I saw it, I was very fond of it's design and I love that it has the moxie ability as well.

Sheep October 18th, 2020 5:38 PM

Metagross! It's so cool. Salamence is also great but meta is just especially awesome and a favorite of mine from hoenn overall. it's Steven's poster mon also which is <3

It's gotta be Salamence. Both are great, sure, but one lets you fly on a blue dragon while flexing on your friends.

Salamence has the cooler base design, but Metagross has a significantly better Mega Evolution...Salamence's looks like the Rebel Alliance symbol from Star Wars. Metagross has a much cooler shiny colouring, too - Salamence is green, which is the absolute worst colour shiny Pokemon can be. But between the two I've always used Salamence more because it's slightly easier to come by a Bagon than it is a Beldum much of the time, and Beldum itself is generally useless and a pain in the backside to level.

So base aesthetics and usability it's Salamence, Mega Evo and shiny colouring it's definitely Metagross. Salamence wins if only because Mega Evos are a one-off gimmick and I never get shinies. xD

It changes over time, between those two. For now, it is Salamence.

TepigLover101 October 19th, 2020 5:00 AM

I choose salamence even though its a pain in the butt in pokemon super mystery dungeon I still like its design and think its cool

RadEmpoleon October 19th, 2020 5:10 AM

I like Metagross a bit better than Salamence. Otherwise I’m just neutral to them both.

FeraligatrMaster October 19th, 2020 5:36 AM

Salamence and Metagross are both awesome, but I like Salamence more. It's a dragon, it has high Speed and Attack, its Special Attack is also good, and it gets Moxie as a hidden ability.

Also, look at this sprite:

Salamence has grown on me a bunch, but metagross is cool too.

Pok3pals October 21st, 2020 11:48 AM

Metagross cause it's mega evolution looks better than Salamence's in my opinion.

VisionofMilotic October 21st, 2020 5:54 PM

Both are extremely powerful Pokemon. I have to go for Metagross though, mainly because it's the signature Pokemon of my favorite character Steven Stone.

Nick October 21st, 2020 10:21 PM

Metagross is one of my favorites, so I gotta go with it.

tzujm33 October 22nd, 2020 11:39 PM

I prefer Salamence since it has access to Dragon dance which makes sweeping with it easier than Metagross.

This, Steven is my favorite champion and one of my favorite characters, the mega and shinies both look great, and I had a lot of fun on community day walking around the lake racking up shiny Metagross.

As far as Mega Evolutions go, I agree with you. As for the base forms, I like Salamence more.

Percy October 23rd, 2020 6:19 AM

design-wise, I think Metagross looks better. typing-wise, metagorss is also better imo. even the mega, metagross looks better. stat-wise, I think salamence is a pseudo-legendary so its obviously better but Metagross is no scrub :p

Figure October 23rd, 2020 11:57 AM

Both are pseudo

Pyrax October 25th, 2020 11:31 AM

I like both, but I prefer Metagross' design and concept. A robotic, living supercomputer comprised of its pre-evolutions? Sign me up! Its Steel/Psychic typing makes it stand out against Salamence in my opinion.

Saиdmaи October 26th, 2020 12:32 AM

Both are amazing to be fair and seem to be well received. I think Metagross' design is more unique but I'd still go for Salamence. Love the colour pallete and dex entries of its evolution line.

Bahamut January 10th, 2021 11:19 AM

Salamence! It's my favorite Pokemon ever! I really love dragons, and Salamence has one of the coolest designs ever. I think that Metagross is still cool, and I like its concept. Shiny Metagross has a nice color scheme too.

Squirtlenator January 10th, 2021 1:47 PM

There's no wrong answers here. Tough choice but, I think for me Salamence edges out.

colours April 2nd, 2021 3:34 AM

salamence >>>>

'mence carries a lot of memories for me for when i used to have it as part of my gen 3 team. and i think in pokemon colosseum/XD. and i think i used to have it in other main game teams, too! i was (and still am to some extent) such a huge fan of it!! probably one of the very few non-cute pokemon i like, tbh.

metagross is alright, but i've never really had any particularly strong feelings about it.

pokemon fan person April 2nd, 2021 3:55 AM

salamence

Bellsprout April 3rd, 2021 9:53 AM

Metagross. It's my favorite of all the pseudos. I love the design and I'm pretty fond of steel types.
