Meltan's Evolved Form Officially Revealed!

[Demelza]

​

A brand new trailer has been released today and revealed Meltan's evolved form, as well as how to evolve it. You can check out the trailer below:

​

The new trailer shows off Meltan's evolved form, Melmetal who is a steel type Pokémon. The press release also revealed that Meltan can only be evolved in Pokémon GO and requires you to have 400 Meltan candy. So trainers wishing to train a Meltan in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! or Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! won't be able to evolve it in game, they'd have to first evolve it into Melmetal in Pokémon GO and then trade that across.

​

Details of the Pokémon are as follows:

Name: Melmetal
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Height: 2.5m / 8’02”
Weight: 1,763.7 lbs.
Type: [type=steel][/type]

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.

Mel"meltan" pretty lazy if u ask me

 

[Hiro Kagemaru]

It was a little cool .... strange but cool.

 

[Pokéboy098]

Meh.

 

[Retarded Otaku]

I like it XD

 

[E.K.A.N.S.]

This one actually has a design. Now that's more like it.

 

[Fishykarp]

Still waiting for dat Magikarp Jump integration

 

[Psycho Monkey]

Damn... I really might have to start playing Pokemon Go now...

I mean seriously, I really like this thing. It's just so cool. Melmetal kind of reminds me of a Regi in it's design. As for the name, I think I'll stick with Buffnut.

 

[sSoul]

So we just get buff Meltan, and not gonna lie, I'm completely okay with that xD

 

[Leeon]

Smh.. who knew?! I kinda like it. So where's the rest of my 8th generation?

 

[Le Marsouin]

*Tyler almost drops his clipboard, when he sees the evolved Pokémon, as he hands over a note* Okay, I think that Meltan has been probably been taking it a bit too far with the Protein, Zinc and Iron today.

 

[E.K.A.N.S.]

Oh yeah, I just saw the trailer...

And OMG I love how they did it! It’s so funny and they have personality too!

Didn’t think Professor Willow could get any hotter. Then he said words... XD

 

[Glitchy Gold]

That's not my STEEL. Ha? Get it? XD

 

[Hollow Omega]

Now there's the cross promotion, figures you gotta evolve it in GO. Still, I like its design and I do love me some some more Steel types

 

[Skyst]

Nooo cute lil' Meltan's all weird - looking now! Well, it looks pretty cool, but no longer adorable... UGH I'm so torn - up over it all! Also, it's pretty weird to see an evolved Mythical Pokemon.

 

[Hollow Omega]

@Doctor_Hoo I wouldn't even consider it mythical, just mysterious. After all there seem to be quite few of those things out there.

 

[Kaben and Madeleine]

The trend of pokemon that evolve from groups that originally had none are still continuing. Ex- cosmog, poipole, and now meltan.

 

[TycoonMaster309]

What did they do 2 U regirock
(It looks like Regirock)

 

[Fraseandchico]

And now, we wait for Let's go.

 

[TycoonMaster309]

And now, we wait for Let's go.

Just like every upcoming game (._.)

 

[TycoonMaster309]

It's cry is cool but the design can improve

 

[Skyst]

@HollowOmega Good point. It doesn't really look too mythical, either.

 

[Chunky Ramen]

I'm gonna start getting back into PoGo, just gotta dig through the endless expanse of games I never use...
Now I want a Switch, I wish I was a kid again so my parents would buy me one...
Although I like the idea of cool Pokemon, this just looks like a Regi that got scrapped, and replaced by Ditto, Regirock, and Registeel. Poke-Fusion in a nutshell, great going, Pokemon Company! Great going, more abominations...

 

[Funny Sans Rat]

So you're telling me I have to download Pokemon GO to evolve the most lazy looking Pokemon into it's far superior evolution? Now that, that is a load of bull.
