Why does Gen 3 have two pseudo legendary lines?

the theme of gen 3 was effectively "pairs", why else would they have version exlusive legends that weren't the box legends? (in which I mean the latis)

Salamence is the actual pseudo and Metagross was created to be Steven's ace

Note that he can't catch Beldum in the wild in its debut gen, it's only obtainable as a gift from Steven in the postgame (which is why it has such a low catch rate in later games)

The pairs usually complemented each other though, like lati@s as you mentioned, volbeat/illumise, plusle/minun, etc.
Metagross and salamence don't seem as cohesive or like they were designed to be counterparts.

>>40486071
If that's the case, I wonder why TPC included the beldum line in the official artwork.

Metagross clear body ignore Salamence intimidate. Steel typing resist dragon/flying.

This is how I used to see it, comparably to Zangoos immunity to ignore Seviper poison.

1. Gen 3 had a lot of duos.
2. Ruby & Sapphire lacked Dragonite and Tyranitar.

The only reason that Dragon Type is even relevant anymore is just because of their ridiculous BSTs and secondary typings. Barely anyone actually runs Dragon STABs on them.

because they wanted Dragonite 2.0, but Metagross was just too damn cool to not include

Metagross was a last minute decision and was never meant to be a pseudo, that’s why it’s the odd one out and obtained only in post-game
