How do you evolve Meltan in the Z-A dlc?

Question

Also can you get shiny meltan?

It’s possible to get shiny meltan/melmetal through Pokemon Go

Answer 1

You can't.

You catch one Meltan in Side Mission 193. After doing so and following the quest's natural progression, you will eventually be gifted a Melmetal by a little girl in a Hyperspace distortion. For whatever reason, Game Freak would rather keep Meltan's evolution method entirely restricted to GO!

Also, neither Meltan nor Melmetal can be Shiny if you catch them in Legends: Z-A, but they aren't Shiny locked in GO.

I have a shiny Melmetal from Pokemon Go. Maybe you should edit your answer to specify you can’t in the game

Because is was incorrect for a time and nobody reversed it. I just did.
