# Metang #5/12 — EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle)

## Summary

Metang is the middle step of the Beldum line, a Hoenn Pokémon whose real following gathers around Metagross, so this stage mostly gets bought to complete the evolution chain. Cards from the EX Trainer Kits were built to teach newcomers, which leaves modest, steady demand from set completionists. A $0.90 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.10 out of Chaos Rising.
