Collector Insights

Meltan is a Metal-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Steel Melt, requires one Metal energy to deal 10+ damage, with an additional 40 damage if the opponent’s Active Pokémon is also Metal. The card resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Meltan’s flavor text describes its ability to absorb metallic particles from the earth, reflecting its thematic connection to metal. Designed by artist Kouki Saitou, this Common rarity card belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Unbroken Bonds set, released in May 2019. The card’s regulatory markings are unspecified, and it lacks any additional abilities or rules. Its straightforward design emphasizes its role as a foundational Metal-type Pokémon in gameplay.

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