Melmetal, the Hex Nut Pokémon, is a Steel-type mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is the evolved form of Meltan and is notable as the first mythical Pokémon to evolve. Melmetal's body is composed of liquid metal, giving it a unique, somewhat industrial appearance with hexagonal nuts integrated into its design. This powerful Pokémon is believed to have existed for 3,000 years, revered in ancient times for its ability to create iron from nothing. Its natural habitat is not explicitly defined, but its metallic composition suggests a connection to industrial or mineral-rich environments. In the Pokémon games, Melmetal is a formidable physical attacker with high HP and defense, often seen as a tanky powerhouse. In the anime, it plays a significant role as Ash's first mythical Pokémon, showcasing its immense strength in battles. Its Steel typing grants it numerous resistances to other types, making it a defensive stalwart, though it is weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type moves. Melmetal's distinct design and unique evolution method have cemented its place as a memorable and culturally significant Pokémon within the franchise.
