MeltanDarkness Ablaze #129 Pokémon Card

Meltan, the Hex Nut Pokémon, is a Steel-type mythical Pokémon known for its unique appearance and intriguing origins. First discovered in the Alola region during Generation VII, it quickly captured the attention of trainers worldwide due to its strong connection with Pokémon GO. Meltan's body is largely composed of liquid metal, allowing it to absorb and integrate other pieces of metal, particularly hex nuts, into its form. This ability is central to its diet, as it consumes metal for sustenance. Its behavior is often described as curious and playful, though it can also be quite powerful, especially when it evolves into Melmetal. In the games, Meltan was introduced as a special research encounter in Pokémon GO, and then transferable to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, before becoming available in later main series games. Its unique acquisition method added to its mystique and desirability among players. As a mythical Pokémon, it does not have a typical evolution line within the main series games, evolving only into Melmetal under specific conditions in Pokémon GO. Its Steel typing gives it numerous resistances, making it a formidable opponent in battle.
