Metagross nicknames

a robotic Pokémon with a metallic blue body and four legs. Because of its build, it looks like a robot spider

Metagross was introduced in Generation 3 with a Steel/Psychic typing so there’s plenty of inspiration for nicknames.

Let’s look at some info on Metagross and suggested nicknames.

Origins

Metagross is a robotic Pokémon with a metallic blue body and four legs. Because of its build, it looks like a robot spider (which will inspire the nicknames!). Metagross is the result of two Metang fusing together, in a similar fashion to Magnemite combining to create Magneton. This fusion means that Metagross has four brains making it more intelligent than a supercomputer.

Etymologically, Metagross could be a portmanteau of metal and cross, or gross referring to its weight. Meta- as a prefix also has associations with technology, AI, and robotics.

Nicknames

My methodology for nicknames is as follows:

  • I rank nicknames by lettered tiers: S, A, B, C, and D. S is the best and D is the worst.
  • I may use generative AI for inspiration. I’ll always mark these nicknames with an asterisk (*) but they’ll always be amended where necessary
  • I’ll usually list my inspiration for a nickname so you know where they came from

With all that said, let’s look at those Metagross nicknames!
