Collector Insights

Melmetal is a Pokémon with 160 HP and a Metal type, featuring a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It has two attacks: Headbutt, which costs two Colorless energy and deals 60 damage, and Swinging Smash, requiring Metal and two Colorless energy to deal 30+ damage. The latter attack involves flipping two coins, adding 90 damage for each heads. Melmetal resists Grass-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. The card is part of the Sword & Shield series, released in July 2022, and is included in the Pokémon GO set. Its design by artist Shigenori Negishi reflects a lore tied to ancient iron creation, as hinted by its flavor text. The card’s rarity is Rare Holo, marked with regulation code F, and it carries the dex number 809.

Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.
