Summary

Meltan is a Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Type: Steel

Abilities:

  • Vital Spirit: Prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep, ensuring it remains active and alert during battle, which is especially useful against sleep-inducing moves.
  • Anger Point: When struck by a critical hit, this ability maximizes the Pokémon's Attack stat, turning a potentially dangerous situation into an offensive advantage.

Physical Characteristics:

  • A powerfully built bipedal Pokémon with a primate-like appearance, featuring well-defined muscles that highlight its physical strength and combat capabilities
  • Possesses distinctive coloration and markings across its body that make it easily recognizable and set it apart from other Fighting-type Pokémon
  • Displays clear evolutionary traits from its previous form while showing more advanced physical development and mature features

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Exhibits an aggressive and territorial temperament, often challenging other Pokémon to demonstrate its strength and establish dominance
  • Primarily inhabits rugged mountainous regions and dense forests where it can train and develop its fighting skills in a natural environment
  • Lives and travels in small, tight-knit groups that work together for protection and hunting, showing surprising social complexity

In Battle:

  • Excels as a physical attacker with an impressively high Attack stat, making it a formidable opponent in close-combat situations
  • Specializes in powerful fighting-type moves while maintaining a diverse movepool that provides excellent coverage against multiple types
  • Demonstrates particular effectiveness against Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, and Steel type Pokémon, making it a valuable team member
  • Must be carefully managed against Psychic, Flying, and Fairy type moves due to type disadvantages that can quickly turn the tide of battle

Evolution:

  • Undergoes a significant evolution from its pre-evolved form when specific conditions are met, representing a major milestone in its development
  • The evolution process triggers dramatic changes in both physical appearance and combat abilities, resulting in enhanced fighting capabilities
