#808. Meltan

It melts particles of iron and other metals found in the subsoil, so it can absorb them into its body of molten steel.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

Meltan & Melmetal

Meltan (#808)

Galliumvitae singula

General Information: Meltan is a Pokémon composed of gallium and bits of solidified metal parts. They are entirely composed of inorganic substances.  

Meltans are tiny Pokémon, averaging at about 8 inches (0.2 M) tall and weighing 17.6 pounds (8 kg).

Habitat: Meltans can be found around natural deposits of metal ore.

Life Cycles: Meltans have one of the strangest life cycles known to Pokemonkind. Their reproductive habits are more akin to that of certain slime molds, than anything animalian—which is to say, completely alien to our notions of how reproduction should work. To start, Meltans are born when they break off from a Meltan—this process does not harm the Meltan.

A Meltan will remain as a Meltan for a long time, living in a herd of other Meltans. Eventually, one of these Meltans will become stronger than the rest and when it is strong enough, will absorb its herdmates to become a Melmetal. This process is consensual. A Meltan can become a Melmetal starting at level 45, but it must absorb other Meltans in the process or no evolution will occur. Ideally, a Melmetal has at least five Meltans, but they can be made using fewer individuals. The biggest reason it’s better to have more Meltans than fewer, is because the Melmetal stage is effectively the “sporangia” phase of the Meltan/Melmetal lifecycle. Like with certain slime molds, the individual Meltans combine their magicks to form a bigger cohesive unit. Inside the Melmetal is the individual magicks of each Meltan that composes it, and from there these energies combine and mix together to create new Meltans, which eventually separate from the Melmetal and become its own unique entity. A Melmetal can reproduce for as long as it is alive and has the stored magic to dedicate to this task. However, unlike a slime mold, Melmetals are unable to “devolve” back into the original Meltans that composes it. The decision to become a Melmetal is permanent, as is all Evolution, no matter how foreign it may be.

Meltans can be eaten by any Pokémon that would find a living amalgamation of gallium and a hex nut to be delicious.

Behavior: Meltans are social creatures that rely on their herd for survival. They are shy but sociable, who stick together tightly with their herd.

Diet: Meltans serve the absolutely vital function of being the scavengers and up-cyclers of the Metal Pokémon Food Web. They eat the scraps of metal leftover from the bodies of dead steel-type Pokémon, scavenging kills as big as Aggrons and Metagrosses even.

Conservation: Unknown, suspected to be Least Concern

Relationship with Humans: Scientists have no idea where Meltans come from. Are they Earthlings? Are they even from our dimension? Who knows! But Meltans and Melmetals have been around for so long that the ancients spoke of them. The line is so unlike any other Pokémon that scientists know of that live on Earth, that they are held to an entirely different kingdom of life (or higher, depending on who you ask) than all other Pokémon, even the Living Minerals Kingdom. Meltans are strange alien-seeming creatures living amongst us, quietly scavenging metal parts and ores. There is great ecological interest in Meltans for their role in the poorly-understood Metal Pokémon Food Web.

Classification: The genus name “Galliumvitae” simply means “Living Gallium.”

Melmetal (#809)

Galliumvitae multipula

General Information: Melmetal is the evolved form of Meltan. It is a strange Pokémon of mysterious origin, but like all life forms, it must repair and rejuvenate its body: when this happens, metal shards and flakes will fall from its body. Like its pre-evolution, Melmetal can stretch its liquid body and utilizes centrifugal force to deliver devastating punches.

Melmetal has a Gigantamax form.

Melmetals average at 8’2 feet (2.5 M) tall and weigh around 1,763.7 pounds (800 kg). The Gigantamax Melmetal is around 82+ feet (25+ M) tall.

Habitat: Melmetals can be found around metal ore deposits, or other places with lots of metal scraps and debris.

Life Cycles: See Meltan.

When a Melmetal dies of internal issues (ie: “natural causes”, “old age”, etc.), its body will rust (when applicable) and shatter. From the shattering of its gallium body, it creates Meltans one last time.

There is not much that predates upon Melmetals, and it is mostly creatures like Dusknoirs. A Melmetal could die of starvation or battle injuries, or even truly just old age. The death of a Melmetal is not common, for these creatures have no known upper limit on age, but it does happen eventually. Melmetals composed of more Meltans live longer than the ones composed of fewer, and in death its shattered metal body will produce more Meltans than a Melmetal made of fewer Meltans would.

Behavior: Melmetals are strong, stoic, but gentle giants of the mountains and forests. They may assist the Meltans nearby in their search for metal ores, utilizing their great fists to smash apart boulders for the little guys.

A fascinating thing about Melmetals, is that while they act like a single organism, they are still composed of multiple entities, who must agree on a course of action. This can cause delays in a Melmetal who experiences great confliction, and a Melmetal with more Meltans inside it may be slower to decide on a course of action. This is why Melmetals are notoriously very slow Pokémon—though their size doesn’t help.

Diet: Metal. No one is sure how a Melmetal (or Meltan) can eat any type of metal, when that’s a huge range of elements, nor how its body is able to convert that metal into energy or into gallium specifically. The ways of the Metal Pokémon Food Web are mysterious, but it is worth noting that the hard parts of a Melmetal can be composed of many different metals, depending on what its been eating.  

Conservation: Unknown

Relationship with Humans: Melmetals have been scavengers of metal for ages, and humans have loved them for their ability to seemingly produce metal from nowhere. The non-living metal bits that fall off of Melmetals have been used in tool making for thousands of years… well, we’re assuming it’s only the non-living bits. Personally, I wouldn’t put it past some ancient peoples to melt down a Meltan and use its melted corpse for black/silver-smithery.

In modern times, some municipalities have implemented a Melmetal to clean up their metal “recycling”—the stuff that people throw in the recycling bin in earnest but will never actually be recycled for one stupid reason and that. Have no fear! Melmetals will eat them for you 😊

Classification: The species epithet of Melmetal is “multipula” which means “multiple.” This refers to the fact that Melmetals are actually a composite organism.

Evolution: See Meltan’s life cycle for explanation.

Let’s Talk About Pokemon - Meltan and Melmetal

808: Meltan

God, can you believe I was this close, THIIIIIS close to saying Gen 7 as a whole just HAD to end on a note as sour as Zeraora. Well, in the middle of just last year, this surprise just fell on our heads in the form of a Pokemon Go datamine of all things! Not only that, but then showed up in the aftermath of that weekend's Community Day where a ton of Ditto disguised as this weird little slimy metal thing appeared for a while afterward. And then a few days where they acted like nothing strange happened. This had to be the WEIRDEST and most fun way to introduce a new Pokemon to date.

Of course, eventually, we got formally introduced to this Pokemon that was the real Mystery-Pokemon teased at the end of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee's first trailer. The mono-Steel type Meltan!

AND LOOK. AT HOW. ADORABLE THIS LITTLE THING IS. These little Mythic critters are yet another concept I had wanted a while, that being of a molten metal creature as a pitch for the Steel type. While it's more of a liquid metal than a molten metal, it's easily the same thing in my book. And I am not at all disappointed with this little fella. I love love LOVE the visual of the eyeball it forms out of an oversized nut-head with a big black ball of liquid metal making a “pupil”. Even complete with a tiny wire for a tail. Just precious!

And the amount of charm and expressiveness they managed to ooze out of such a simplified design is absolutely commendable. With the pupil cartoonishly changing shape to formulate expressions.

Their little eyes even pop out of their socket when they're surprised! THATS'S SO CUTE I CAN'T. JUST. HHHHRGH.

They're even rather simple in their story. All they want to do is eat metal, loving the taste as it consumes said metal to become larger. Though supposedly its body is primarily made of mercury. Which would make sense, given that's a metal that is in liquid form even at room temperature. But it's also a good electrical conductor, giving Meltan some of its electric-based abilities as well!

Wait, is it EATING a Magnemite!?! Nooo!!!!!

I also think it’s super neat how, as stated in an interview with Junichi Masuda and Kensaku Nabana that Meltan was deliberately designed to look like a Gen 1 Pokemon since its first appearance was to be in a remake of Yellow version. And I think they totally nailed it, especially with how it STILL manages to look like its own thing that isn’t ripping off any Gen 1 line in particular. You could fully expect this thing to be running around the abandoned Power Plant back in the day!

I do understand the complaints saying it doesn't really fit in with the status of “Mythical Pokemon.” And I'd agree, it looks just a bit more like a Generation's obligatory industrial object-mon more than it does a status you'd expect to be reserved for Pokemon's equivalent of cryptids. But whatever man. I'll take Gen 7 ending on such an adorable note as this and not with a design as unimpressive as Zeraora. It's hilarious how quickly this thing has ascended to become one of my favorite Steel types, and one of my favorite Mythic Pokemon.

Personal Score: 10/10

THEY ARE MY SONS AND I LOVE THEM.

809: Melmetal

And here it is. Number Eight Hundred and Nine. The actual, for really real as real can be realsies this time, at the time of writing this, final Pokemon, at least until Gen 8 comes out later this year.

In yet another surprise, Meltan is our first-ever Mythical Pokemon to evolve! Though, the impact of that can't help but be lessened a bit after remembering Mythicals like Shaymin or Hoopa have “alternate forms” that would basically work as evolutions all the same. But it's the thought that counts, I suppose.

While I do like Meltan just a little bit better than Melmetal here, Melmetal is no disappointment either. The only thing that's really missed is the adorable charm and how less expressive it is. Though maybe that can be chalked up with it trying to present itself as cool. At least it keeps the nut-head with little-ball eyeball look going. If it kept any one thing it should've been that.

Portrayed as many Meltan merged together into one huge, hulking body, this is a good way to pull off the bulky but elastic fighter type with the molten metal look. It also apparently can make iron out of nothing, providing an ancient civilization with metal for years before somehow falling asleep.

It's also said to have pretty nasty punches. Understandable, given the huge nuts on the ends of its arms like brass knuckles. Even when it's pulling off its signature move, Double Iron Bash, its arms spin around on the nut it uses as a torso to deliver repeated metal punches.

Personal Score: 10/10

Still a very good friend!!

Overall:

And with that we're actually done without being ironic this time. It's finally time to have our, for now, final Generation recap.

Meltan (#808)

Hex Nut Pokemon - HT: 8″ WT: 17.6 lbs

It dissolves and eats metal. Circulating liquid metal within its body is how it generates energy.
