Melmetal is a Steel-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII as part of the Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! games. It is the evolved form of Meltan, a unique Steel-type Pokémon that can only be obtained through special means, primarily by transferring Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch games. Melmetal's design is heavily inspired by nuts and bolts, reflecting its metallic composition and immense physical strength. It is known for its incredibly sturdy body, which can absorb powerful blows, and its signature move, Double Iron Bash, where it spins its arms to deliver two powerful attacks. In the anime, a prominent Melmetal belonged to Ash Ketchum, evolving from his Meltan during the Alola League, showcasing its formidable power in battles. Its existence was a mystery for a time, with its initial appearance in Pokémon GO generating significant buzz among fans, making it a culturally significant Pokémon due to its unique acquisition method and role in bridging the mobile and console game experiences. Its natural habitat is not clearly defined, but it is implied to be formed from metallic elements, potentially in industrial or mineral-rich environments.
