This Psychic and Steel-type Pokémon has been a competitive favorite since its debut back in generation four, and while it was previously absent in Scarlet and Violet, now it’s here and ready to shake things up. First, you’ll need to get your hands on one and the best way comes from evolving Beldum.

Beldum is the first evolution of this Pokémon and it can be found in the wild, making it a matter of searching to capture. To help save you some time, here is exactly where you will find Beldum in the wilds of The Indigo Disk so you can head right there.

You can find Beldum across the Polar Biome, however, it might take a while to find it as it is one of the rarer spawns. In our experience, we had to wait on a mountainside for an extended period of time before one appeared.

Some good news: If you’re only interested in getting Metagross, Metang seems to spawn just as often as Beldum, so really, you can skip this first evolution altogether if you like. That said, you’ll still need a Beldum at some point to complete your Blueberry Academy Pokédex. 

Now that you know where to find Beldum, you’ve got the perfect spot to go shiny hunting and get that incredible silver powerhouse you’ve been dreaming of.
