# Metang #44/101 — Hidden Legends

## Summary

Metang is a mid-evolution Pokémon with a steady following, the Hoenn steel line that leads into Metagross, a Gen III favorite. As an uncommon Stage 1 in Hidden Legends, it was a filler pull, but Ken Sugimori's name on the illustration gives collectors a reason to look twice. The modelled guide sits at $1.12, up 3% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 194 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $12, 10 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
