Metal Cat (Super Rare Cat)

Metal Cat is a Super Rare Cat that was added in Version 4.0 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule when "Limited Edition" is part of the current pool. In The Battle Cats Unite!, Metal Cat is unlocked in UBERFEST in the SEA and WW versions whereas it is unlocked in SUPERFEST in the JP version.

==Performance==
+ Metal
===Pros===
*Decent recharge time
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Weak against Critical Hits and Toxic attacks
*Low health and attack power
==Strategy/Usage==
Expensive and not worth the cost at first sight, this cat is exceptional if used properly. Metal Cat can take a maximum of 12 hits when it is level 20 (it also has the same HP at level 19), but will only get knocked back 2 times, meaning that he can stop the progress of a single enemy, regardless of its attack power, by standing in front of it for 6 attacks twice. Hence, he is very useful against powerful enemies with slow attacks, such as Dark Emperor Nyandam, and THE SLOTH, or deny a huge amount of hits from enemies like Teacher Cybear.
However, what makes Metal Cat a good unit is also his downfall; as said before, Metal Cat will die after 12 hits, no matter what, and when it falls its long cooldown means you'll wait for quite a while before the next comes. When there are a lot of peons, rather than wasting 600¢, use your usual tough meatshields such as Eraser Cat and Crazed Wall Cat, or to make this problem minimal, clear its way with wave attackers like Manic Macho Legs. Metal Cat should not be used on stages featuring enemies with quick attack rates such as Bore, or an enemy capable of unleashing Critical Hits or Toxic attacks, like R.Ost or Zollow respectively.
Metal Cat has a higher than average XP exchange value, but is unable to convert dupes to + levels. While the XP is still a very large amount, it is recommended to keep it if you don't own the unit already, or save the dupe until after completing Into the Future Chapter 3 to exchange it for 15 NP, as NP can be much harder to accumulate than XP.

メタルなボディが舷いネコ。いかなる攻撃も最小ダメージで食い止める屈強さを持ち合わせているため、メタルネコの行軍を阻止するのは非常に困難とされている。完全無欠のまん丸ボディは、レアなメタル純度100パーセント。だが、それが价になる時もあるらしく、坂道で転がり出すと、どこかに激究するまで止まらないようだ。 	?
===Battle Cats Quest===
Metal Cat appears as a playable skin, though he was renamed to Silver Cat.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Metal Macho was a part of two other Cat Combos: Biceps and Precious Metals.
*Metal Cat is the only Non-Normal Cat that cannot be upgraded beyond level 20.
**Additionally, Metal Cat is the only gacha unit who cannot benefit from plus-levels. This means that his absolutely highest level is 20, which is the lowest maximum level in the game, aside from Cheetah Cat, who can only be obtained by cheating.
*Even though he's a Super Rare Cat, Metal Cat's upgrading costs are those of a Uber Rare Cat.
*Metal Cat, Iron Wall Cat and Glass Cat are currently the only cat units with the Metal ability.
*This and Gold Cat are the only Super Rare Cats that can be exchanged for more than 478,000 XP. Metal Cat can be exchanged for 777,777 XP specifically.
*His Evolved Form's description doesn't show his weakness to Critical Attacks in both English and Japanese, even though his Normal Form does.
