Metagross (Mega) in Emerald Imperium

Steel / Psychic — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Against the base species it is built from:

Stats Attack 135 → 145, Defense 130 → 150, Sp. Atk 95 → 105, Sp. Def 90 → 110, Speed 70 → 110 (total 600 → 700)
Abilities gains Tough Claws and loses Clear Body, Light Metal

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
