===Origin===
===Origin===
Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer with the black headpiece acting like a headset microphone, while the Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu and its "hair" curled up in a bun. In this Forme it also shares elements from Spanish {{wp|Flamenco}} dancers. Meloetta's headpiece resembles a stylized {{wp|clef|treble clef}}. It may be also based on a {{wp|muse}}, a mythological entity to whom was attributed, in Ancient Greece, the ability to inspire artistic creation.

The guitarist who teaches Meloetta {{m|Relic Song}} mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale ''{{wp|The Red Shoes (fairy tale)|The Red Shoes}}''.

Pirouette—French for ''to whirl''—is a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women). The non-supporting leg can be held in retiré position, or in attitude, arabesque level or second position.

Meloetta (Japanese: メロエッタ Meloetta) is a dual-type Normal/Psychic Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, it has a second Forme activated by using the move Relic Song in battle. Its original Forme, Aria Forme, will then become the Normal/Fighting-type Pirouette Forme.

Meloetta was leaked on a poster of the fifteenth Pokémon movie, Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, on February 26, 2012, and it was officially revealed by Oha Suta on March 1, 2012.

Biology

Meloetta seems to be a femininely anthropomorphic figure with musical bar-style streaks in its hair, quarter notes (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling whole notes (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a treble clef which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be ⅓ its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, it has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In either Forme, its midriff and eyes match its hair. It is a genderless species.

According to artists in Unova, Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers.

Meloetta is able to change forms when it uses the move Relic Song, which changes its form from Aria Forme to its Pirouette Forme, or vice versa. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs. While in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances. In its Aria Forme, it is a dual-type Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon; in its Pirouette Forme, it is a dual-type Normal/Fighting-type Pokémon. It reverts to Aria Forme when switched out or when the battle ends. Like many other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta is capable of becoming invisible.

Meloetta debuted in An Epic Defense Force!. Later, in All for the Love of Meloetta! it appeared in front of Cynthia's car, having been attacked by Team Rocket. It then followed Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Cynthia to Undella Town. In Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!, it openly revealed itself and even sung to the group after becoming very comfortable around Ash and his friends.

By Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!, Meloetta had become comfortable enough to challenge one of Ash's Pokémon to a battle; however, the battle was interrupted by Ridley, who mistakenly believed Ash was attacking it. Giovanni and Team Rocket later forced Meloetta to surrender after threatening Ash and Pikachu. Its final appearance was in Unova's Survival Crisis!, where it decided to go home with Ridley.

Meloetta made its debut in With a Little Help from My Friends, where it was attracted to the flute music made by Bianca. After sneaking aboard the Battle Subway train, Meloetta found its way to Café Sonata, only to be attacked by a group of wild Vullaby. After finding out what happened, White protected Meloetta while Bianca decided to take a guitar and play with Meloetta in place of the Guitarist that was injured in the chaos.

With her skills in music, Bianca helped Meloetta remember the Relic Song that it had long since forgotten. Meloetta uses the attack to transform into its Pirouette Forme and defeat the wild Vullaby group. Afterward, it said its goodbyes to White and Bianca and left.

Trivia

Origin

Meloetta may be based on a muse, a goddess in Greek mythology with the ability to inspire artistic creation. Meloetta's headpiece resembles a stylized treble clef.

Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer with the black headpiece acting like a headset microphone.

Meloetta's Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu and its "hair" curled up in a bun. This Forme also has elements of Spanish Flamenco dancers.

The guitarist who teaches Meloetta Relic Song in the Generation V games mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Red Shoes.

Name origin

Meloetta may be a combination of melody and pirouette (a type of movement in ballet). Etta is also a common, feminine Italian suffix meaning little and may refer to Meloetta's feminine appearance and diminutive size. Etta could also have derived from the famous jazz singer Etta James.

Aria is a term now used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice usually with orchestral accompaniment, and is commonly used in opera.

A pirouette (French for to whirl) is a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women).
