Melmetal is a Steel type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7. It is known as the Hex Nut Pokémon.

Melmetal evolves from Meltan only in Pokémon GO, with 400 Meltan Candies. Candies can be obtained by catching many Meltan, have it travel as a Buddy Pokémon, or transferring some to Pokémon Let's Go.

Melmetal has an exclusive move, Double Iron Bash.

Note: Meltan has an ability assigned in the code for Pokémon Let's Go, even though abilities are not available.

Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee	Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.
Sword	At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan.
Shield	Centrifugal force is behind the punches of Melmetal’s heavy hex-nut arms. Melmetal is said to deliver the strongest punches of all Pokémon.
