Meltan, a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon recently discovered in the world of Pok\u00e9mon GO, evolves into Melmetal, making Meltan the first Mythical Pok\u00e9mon known to be able to evolve. <\/p>\n<p> <u><b>Melmetal: Revived after 3,000 Years<\/b><\/u><br \/>Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times as a Pok\u00e9mon with the power to create metal. Because of its Evolution from Meltan, its body has hardened and is now incredibly sturdy. Melmetal is made of liquid metal, and its flexible arms can be whipped forward to deliver a devastating punch. It can also execute a powerful, unique Steel-type physical move known as Double Iron Bash. By using the hex nut in its chest like an axle to spin its arms around, Melmetal can deal a double strike to its opponent. The weight of the heavy hex nuts on its arms combined with the spinning motion gives the Double Iron Bash move extraordinary power. <\/p>\n<p> <b>Name:<\/b> Melmetal<br \/><b>Category:<\/b> Hex Nut Pok\u00e9mon<br \/><b>Height:<\/b> 8&#8217;2&#8243;<br \/><b>Weight:<\/b> 1,763.7 lbs.<br \/><b>Type:<\/b> Steel <\/p>\n<p> <u><b>Evolving Meltan into Melmetal<\/b><\/u><br \/>The Evolution of the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon Meltan into Melmetal can only occur in Pok\u00e9mon GO and requires 400 Meltan Candies. Like Candies that can be collected for other Pok\u00e9mon, players can obtain Meltan Candies by catching Meltan (after opening a Mystery Box) and sending them to Professor Willow or by walking around with Meltan selected as their Buddy Pok\u00e9mon. Fans can also obtain Meltan Candies by sending that Pok\u00e9mon from Pok\u00e9mon GO to the <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> or <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> video games. Fans can have fun exploring the Kanto region with Melmetal once they bring it over from Pok\u00e9mon GO to <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> or <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee! <\/i> <\/p>\n<p> To see the latest update on the Meltan research being conducted by Professor Oak and Professor Willow, please view this video: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6ddxlXwEQ30\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/6ddxlXwEQ30<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> and <i>Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> will be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2018.
