To obtain the Metagrossite (Metagross’ Mega Stone) you’ll need to defeat Champion Steven in a rematch at the Pokémon League.
But before you’re able to face Steven again, you’ll need to beat the Elite Four at least once to unlock the option to rematch them. And then you’ll need to beat all the E4 members in rematches too (along with rematching Steven for the mega stone).
Keep in mind that you can’t challenge the E4 to rematches until after you’ve completed the Delta Episode in the post-game.
Prerequisites
Some Mega Stones, such as Metagross’ Mega Stone, are only available after completing the Delta Episode.
If you visit the Pokémon League to re-challenge them before completing the Delta Episode, you won’t be able to proceed, and the attendants will inform you that Steven isn’t currently there at the moment.
So you’ll at least need to clear two conditions before you can get this mega stone:
- Beat the Elite Four & beat the game once
- Clear the Delta Episode
After that, you’ll be all set to get your Metagrossite.
Getting the Metagrossite
Pokémon League Rematches
After finishing the Delta Episode, you can now challenge the Elite Four & Champion again.
But now, they boast more diverse teams with Pokémon from various regions, with each of their Ace Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
Before challenging the Pokémon League again, make sure you’re well-prepared for the rematches. Their Pokémon’s levels range from 70-79, so train your team to be around this level before attempting the challenge.
And don’t forget to stock up on Revives and Full Restores.
When you’re ready, return to the Pokémon League and proceed through the central doors between the Ace Trainers to start the challenge.

Is Mega Metagross Worth Using?
Mega Metagross is definitely worth using due to its well-rounded stats and exceptional defensive typing. Its ability Tough Claws synergizes well with its diverse physical movepool, making it an even more powerful threat.
However, its base Speed before Mega Evolution is relatively low, which might leave it vulnerable to faster opponents on the first turn.
Mega Metagross’ new ability is Tough Claws, which increases the power of moves that make direct contact by 30%.
If you want to use Mega Metagross in your team, consider the following pros and cons:
Pros
- Impressive overall stats. Mega Metagross boasts strong offensive and defensive capabilities, making it a force to be reckoned with.
- Multiple resistances due to its great defensive typing. Its Steel/Psychic typing offers nine resistances and 1 immunity, allowing it to seamlessly switch in more easily.
- Boosted contact moves with Tough Claws. This ability gives a 30% power increase to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves like Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt.
- Diverse Movepool. Mega Metagross can utilize popular coverage moves such as Bullet Punch, Earthquake, and Ice Punch to its advantage.
Cons
- Low Speed before Mega Evolution. With a base Speed of just 70 before Mega Evolving, Metagross might struggle against faster opponents during the turn it Mega Evolves.
- Competition with its non-Mega form. While Mega Metagross is great, its non-Mega variant can still be viable – particularly when using an Assault Vest set. So by just using a regular Metagross you still have the option to run another Mega Pokémon on your team instead.
- Weakness to commonly-used types. Despite its impressive defensive typing, Mega Metagross is still weak to commonly-used types such as Fire and Ground-type moves.
