Meltan (Japanese: メルタン Meltan) is a Steel-type Mythical Pokémon introduced during Generation VII. It first appeared in Pokémon GO and later made its core series debut in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
In Pokémon GO, it evolves into Melmetal by using 400 Meltan Candy. Currently, it cannot evolve 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 is a small Pokémon with a silvery body of liquid metal. Its head is hard and resembles a golden hexagonal nut, with a 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. According to official concept arts, Meltan's liquid body is made of gallium, and it can cry gallium tears. Its arms can stretch to be longer or shorter.[1]
Meltan's body can corrode various metals, which it then absorbs and eats. The absorbed metals are circulated within Meltan's body to generate electricity, which it uses as an energy source. Meltan can also use this electricity to attack by firing it from its eye.[2] 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 created 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 Meltan's body can be removed. It has also been seen working in packs. When provoked, it will spin its head, creating 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 that Meltan can be tamed if fed metal-like treats, and it can multiply in numbers overtime. Meltan is one of the smallest Pokémon, tying with Alolan Diglett and Klefki as the shortest Steel-type.
Meltan often uses its unique physiology to express itself in unexpected ways[1]

Major appearances
Ash's Meltan
Ash encountered a Meltan that arrived on Melemele Island with its fellow Meltan in Show Me the Metal!. Ash eventually 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 shortly before the Manalo Conference finals.
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 has several unique attributes:
- It 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.
- It is the only Pokémon with the Ability Magnet Pull that cannot also have Sturdy.
- It is the only Pokémon that can't have an origin mark from the core series. It can only legitimately have the Pokémon GO origin mark, as it has never been made available through gameplay or events of a core series game.
- It is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of evolution.
- Meltan and its evolved form share 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 .
- They are the only Pokémon in the National Pokédex of Pokémon GO and Pokémon HOME (Nintendo Switch only) to not be listed in a region section. Instead, they are put into "Unknown" and "Unknown Origins", respectively.
- They are the only Mythical Pokémon that can be traded or placed in a Gym as a defender in Pokémon GO.
- Meltan is the smallest Mythical Pokémon.
- 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 and Pecharunt are the only Mythical Pokémon to have never been made available in a Cherish Ball.
- However Meltan's evolution, Melmetal has been made available in a Cherish Ball.
- According to Junichi Masuda, Meltan and its evolution were created for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! out of a "desire to build a bridge between players of the core Pokémon series and players of Pokémon GO", to make both groups happy.[1]
- In a 2018 GameSpot interview, Junichi Masuda mentioned that Meltan was designed by someone "who was also a fan of the original games and played them as a kid".[3]
- Two people were credited as "Pokémon Character Designers" in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!: Misaki Hashimoto and Hironobu Yoshida. However, Yoshida has worked on the Pokémon games since Pokémon Yellow, implying that it was Hashimoto that designed Meltan.
Origin
Meltan is based on a hexagonal nut,[3] and its tail resembles an exposed wire. Its lower body is based on gallium,[1] a metallic element with a relatively low melting point of about 86 °F (30 °C). Gallium is used to make semiconductors, and can easily "attack" other metals, such as aluminium and tin, to form alloys that are either very brittle or liquid at room temperature. These may be referenced with Meltan's liquid body, electric affinity, and ability to absorb metals.
Meltan may also be inspired by mercury, a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Much like gallium, mercury can also conduct electricity, as well as react with many other metals to form alloys known as amalgams.
Name origin
Meltan may be a combination of melt, metal, and たん -tan (diminutive Japanese suffix). It may also be derived from molten.
