Metagross GX 157a/145

This is Metagross GX, card 157a/145, an Alternate Art Promo from the Sun and Moon era. The 157a numbering and the Alt Art tag mark this as a special alternate artwork version, distributed as a promo rather than appearing in the standard run of a main set.

The GX mechanic was a hallmark of the Sun and Moon era, giving select Pokemon a powerful GX attack and bold full art designs. Alternate art versions take a card that already exists and reissue it with fresh artwork, which makes these alt arts especially collectable. Collectors enjoy them because they offer a different take on a familiar Pokemon.

Metagross is a steely, imposing Pokemon with a strong following, and this alternate art GX is a sought after promo for collectors who chase special illustrations. Promo cards like this often come from exclusive products, which adds to their appeal. It is a striking display card that stands out in any GX or alternate art focused collection.
