Metagross · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Metagross card
Numbered 119 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Metagross is a Rare Holo, a Stage 2 Metal-type carrying 170 HP.
It evolves from Metang, so Metagross is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Metagross Pokédex entry reads: "Because the magnetic powers of these Pokémon get stronger in freezing temperatures, Metagross living on snowy mountains are full of energy."
What is Metagross worth?
Metagross is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Silver Tempest's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Silver Tempest holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Metagross before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, the holo window on Metagross is where most points are won or lost. Surface scratches and foil misregistration are common on these cards, and centering was inconsistent enough that clean PSA 10s stay scarce. Read the metal foil at a 45-degree angle under strong light before committing.
