Provenance

Where it came from

The Metagross card from the Ancient Origins expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in August 2015. As a set that focused on the introduction of Ancient Traits—a mechanic providing unique passive abilities to specific Pokémon—this iteration of the Iron Leg Pokémon was designed to complement the set's thematic exploration of primal and powerful forces within the trading card game ecosystem.

The illustration is credited to artist Mizue, who adopted a dynamic, high-contrast style that emphasizes the metallic, tank-like physiology of the creature. This card was received by the community as a functional mid-tier rare, valued primarily by players utilizing metal-type decks during the XY-era rotation for its synergy with the specialized energy support typical of the generation's meta-game.
