Biology

Biology · 1 form

Melmetal is a Mythical Pokémon who can evolve from Meltan. Legends say it can make metal out of nothing. Melmetal has come back to life after 3,000 years.

After its life ends, it will eventually crumble to rust. The rusty pieces will then be reborn as Meltan again.

In its Gigantamax form, Melmetal grows into a colossal cyclopian titan. More dark-gray hexagonal nuts are embedded as fingers and as a single toe on each foot.

Its red wire-like tail is longer, its eye glows red, and the liquid metal making its body now covers the top and rear of its head. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Meltdown.
