Meltan (Japanese: メルタン Meltan) is a Steel-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

In Pokémon GO, it evolves into Melmetal by using 400 Meltan Candy. It cannot be evolved in other games.

Its appearance was first teased during the September Pokémon GO Community Day on September 22, 2018, and it was officially revealed on September 25, 2018.

Biology

 
Meltan without its head

Meltan is a small Pokémon with a silvery body of liquid metal. Its head resembles a golden hexagonal nut with small black sphere floating inside. This sphere serves as its eye. It has a red tail that resembles an electrical wire with two tiny protrusions at the end.

Its body can corrode metal, which it then absorbs. Meltan can generate electricity using the metal it absorbs, and then fire it from its eye.[1] According to Professor Willow, Meltan has been described in ancient texts found in the same place as the Mystery Box, a mysterious item that attracts Meltan to its location when opened. Professor Willow also states that Meltan is said to be constructed from small shards when a Melmetal rusts and splits apart. Meltan is known to live in groups until the day comes where one strong Meltan absorbs the group to evolve into Melmetal.

As seen in the anime, the hexagonal nut on its body can be removed. It has also been seen working in packs. When provoked, it will spin its head, generating a sound that calls others of its own kind. This head-spinning can also be used as a sign of affection. The anime has also shown Meltan can be tamed if fed metal-like treats. Meltan can also multiple in numbers overtime as seen in the anime. Meltan is one of the smallest Pokémon, tying with Alolan Diglett and Klefki as the shortest Steel-type.

Major appearances

Ash's Meltan

Ash encountered a Meltan that arrived on Melemele Island with its fellow Meltan in Show Me the Metal!. He then caught it in the next episode after it befriended Rowlet, who helped it recover its hex nut head. It later evolved into Melmetal in Final Rivals! by combining with its fellow Meltan.

Meltan (recurring)

Multiple Meltan have made a number of appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. For a time being, they lived in the Ultra Guardians' base in the Pokémon School, where they assisted Lusamine's Clefable in exchange for food and continued to multiply. They eventually combined with Ash's Meltan to evolve into Melmetal in Final Rivals!.

Trivia

  • Meltan is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of evolution.
  • Meltan is the only Pokémon capable of evolution that cannot be evolved in the core series games.
    • Because of this, it is not affected by Eviolite.
  • Meltan and its evolved form have several unique attributes:
    • They are the only Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! to not be introduced in Generation I.
    • They are the only Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! whose Kanto Pokédex number (152) is not the same as its National Pokédex number (808). While Kanto Pokédex numbers are normally used throughout the game, the judge screen displays National Pokédex numbers, which is evident for Meltan and Melmetal.
    • They are the only Pokémon officially introduced in Generation VII that are not in the Alola Pokédex.
    • They are the only Pokémon obtainable in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! that cannot have the Let's Go origin mark Let's Go.
    • They are the only Pokémon in the National Pokédex of Pokémon GO and Pokémon HOME (Switch only) to not be listed in a region section. Instead, they are put into "Unknown" and "Unknown Origins" respectively.
  • Meltan is the first Mythical Pokémon caught by a main character in the anime.
  • In the anime, Professor Oak is the person who gives Meltan its species name.
  • Meltan has the smallest learnset of any Mythical Pokémon, at 19 moves.
  • Meltan has the lowest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.

Origin

Meltan may be based on a hexagonal nut, and its tail resembles an exposed wire. Its body is based on mercury, a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury can also conduct electricity, as well as react with many other metals to form amalgams, which can hold a specific shape far easier than the pure liquid, hence Meltan's body.

Name origin

Meltan may be a combination of melt, metal, and たん -tan (diminutive Japanese suffix). It may also be derived from tantalum, coltan, or molten.
