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.

Simply put, I love humans.

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
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.
I… might put something interesting here eventually.

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

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:

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.

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.

Metagross cause it's mega evolution looks better than Salamence's in my opinion.
As far as Mega Evolutions go, I agree with you. As for the base forms, I like Salamence more.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
