What is this weird sprite in Pokémon Go?

Question

I saw a sprite in Pokémon Go, but it didn’t look like a Pokémon I knew. It looked like a little dress with stubby arms, and a hollow oval on top. There was a dot in the center of the oval, just floating.

This is too easy to look up on this site.

Disagree. Way too strict an interpretation of that rule. They wouldn't even know what they're looking for.

It's the first thing on the front page...

@PichuRules, Do you check Serebii, Smogon, or The Official Pokémon Website for Pokémon news?

You probably saw this:

It’s a new Mythical Pokémon called Meltan. You can’t catch it yet, though, because it will turn into a Ditto.

This is what it looks like when you enter the battle:
