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 evolution requiring 400 Meltan Candies in *Pokémon GO* or a trade from *Pokémon GO* into the *Let's Go* games. Melmetal is characterized by its large, metallic body composed of liquid metal, giving it a powerful and imposing appearance. Its Pokedex entry notes its ancient origins, stating it was revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, having come back to life after 3,000 years. In the anime, Melmetal gained prominence as one of Ash Ketchum's Pokémon, showcasing its immense strength and unique abilities, particularly its powerful Double Iron Bash attack. Its design, resembling a collection of nuts and bolts, highlights its Steel typing and mechanical nature. Melmetal's role in the games often positions it as a formidable force, capable of dealing massive damage and withstanding powerful attacks, making it a valuable asset in many teams. Its unique evolution method and status as a Mythical Pokémon contribute to its distinctiveness within the Pokémon universe, setting it apart from typical evolutionary lines.
