Melmetal is a large, silvery Pokémon with a humanoid build that consists mostly of liquid metal. Many dark gray {{wp|Nut (hardware)|hexagonal nuts}} are embedded in or attached to its body: one around each shoulder, one around the center of each arm, one in each hand, one in each foot, and a small one in the center of its torso. A large, golden hexagonal nut encircles its neck and a smaller one acts as its head. Floating in its head is a small, dark gray sphere. It has a small red tail resembling an electrical wire. | |||
As Gigantamax Melemtal, it has become a large cyclopean giant. The The dark grey {{wp|Nut (hardware)|hexagonal nuts}} are now embedded as fives fingers for its hands, two for the feet, two underneath the shoulder, and two connecting the shoulder to the large gold, golden, decagonal nut. A Sliver Hexagonal Nut is located between legs and and chest, which has large red tail resembling an electrical wire located behind it. The head is shaped like knight's helmet with a smaller golden hexagonal nut located inside, with a a glowing red grey sphere floating inside the head Three red clouds surround the heads. | |||
Melmetal is a Pokémon that has come back to life after 3,000 years. In ancient times, it was worshiped for its ability to create metal from anything, which was used to create unique metal tools. According to [[Professor Willow]], Melmetal was considered a sacred being that lived in a secluded area deep within a wooded land that was full of sedimentary rocks rich with magnetite. When Melmetal reached the end of its life, it will rust and split itself into multiple {{p|Meltan}} from the small shards left behind. The process of evolution has hardened its body, making it incredibly sturdy. However, it is still in a liquid state and has some flexibility, particularly in its arms.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon Let's Go site | New Pokémon]</ref> The strength of the heavy hex nut arms comes from the centrifugal force, which allows Melmetal to have the strongest punch of all Pokémon. Gigantamax Melmetal can release tremendous electric beams form its belly, capable of of vaporizing the opponent in one shot. | |||
Melmetal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Double Iron Bash}} and the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Meltdown}}. | |||

Melmetal is a Pokémon that has come back to life after 3,000 years. In ancient times, it was worshiped for its ability to create metal from anything, which was used to create unique metal tools. According to Professor Willow, Melmetal was considered a sacred being that lived in a secluded area deep within a wooded land that was full of sedimentary rocks rich with magnetite. When Melmetal reached the end of its life, it will rust and split itself into multiple Meltan from the small shards left behind. The process of evolution has hardened its body, making it incredibly sturdy. However, it is still in a liquid state and has some flexibility, particularly in its arms.[1] The strength of the heavy hex nut arms comes from the centrifugal force, which allows Melmetal to have the strongest punch of all Pokémon.
