Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! introduces Mythical Pokemon Melmetal
The Pokemon Company today has introduced a new Mythical Pokemon, Melmetal, which is the evolved form of the recently detailed Meltan. This makes Meltan the first known Myhtical Pokemon able to evolve.
Much like Meltan, obtaining Melmetal requires the use of Pokemon GO, but once caught, it can be transferred to Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee!. Find the information below.
Melmetal: Revived after 3,000 Years
Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times as a Pokémon with the power to create metal. Because of its Evolution from Meltan, its body has hardened and is now incredibly sturdy. Melmetal is made of liquid metal, and its flexible arms can be whipped forward to deliver a devastating punch. It can also execute a powerful, unique Steel-type physical move known as Double Iron Bash. By using the hex nut in its chest like an axle to spin its arms around, Melmetal can deal a double strike to its opponent. The weight of the heavy hex nuts on its arms combined with the spinning motion gives the Double Iron Bash move extraordinary power.
- Name: Melmetal
- Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
- Height: 8'2"
- Weight: 1,763.7 lbs.
- Type: Steel
Evolving Meltan into Melmetal
The Evolution of the Mythical Pokémon Meltan into Melmetal can only occur in Pokémon GO and requires 400 Meltan Candies. Like Candies that can be collected for other Pokémon, players can obtain Meltan Candies by catching Meltan (after opening a Mystery Box) and sending them to Professor Willow or by walking around with Meltan selected as their Buddy Pokémon. Fans can also obtain Meltan Candies by sending that Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! video games. Fans can have fun exploring the Kanto region with Melmetal once they bring it over from Pokémon GO to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
