Melmetal Pokédex Entries

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.
Sword:In a distant land, there are legends about a cyclopean giant. In fact, the giant was a Melmetal that was flooded with Gigantamax energy.
Shield:It can send electric beams streaking out from the hole in its belly. The beams’ tremendous energy can vaporize an opponent in one shot.
