Alright Team Metapod, now i know we've never had an entrant win at 20, but let's look at some of our team's great history!

This was the final spot in the 1988 Royal Rumble, with Junkyard Dog as the man in the inaugural number 20 spot.

Slightly less notable, this was The Undertaker's spot in his second Rumble appearance in 1992!

This is a spot that has two seperate repeat appearances in 2010/2011 by Shelton Benjamin, and 2001/2002 with the biggest star of them all, Val Venis!

This was Ahmed Johnson's number in his last rumble appearance in 98!

Did I mention -no one- has won from this spot?

Well, let's keep our mind off that and look at the positives! Here's the most recent history our of coveted number 20 spot!

2016: sami zayn - gently caress

2015: big e - AWWWWWWWW

2014: El Torito - well

2013: Sandow - :aronrex:

2012: Micheal Cole - gently caress gently caress gently caress piss out of a shiiiiiit

2011: Mason Ryan - i don't even know this man

Other Esteemed Members of the Number 20 spot throughout history!

2000: Al Snow - The Original Sami Zayn

1995: MANTAUR - MAAAAAANTAAAAAAUR

And no one else! ( Kane once )

Kofi Kingston, Booker T, Matt Hardy, Goldust twice, Hacksaw Jim Duggan? Clearly spot 17 is reserved for the eccentrics of pro wrestling, the underheralded artists who make this crazy carny sport-performance magical and two murderers. This year's Rumble is one of the more excitingly uncertain ones in some little while; we still have a chance of something amazing happening, and I believe entrant 17 will be the one to make that something happen :colbert:

We're Team Pidgeotto, dammit! It's our turn!

Metapod shares its category name with Kakuna, Silcoon, and Cascoon. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.

They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.

Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, when its pre-evolution became able to learn Bug Bite, Metapod was unable to damage Ghost-type Pokémon except by using Struggle. It shared this trait with Caterpie.

Due to this, it was impossible to complete a Generation I game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
