Collector Insights
Melmetal is a Metal-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featuring the ability Metal Eater, which allows it to heal 100 damage by discarding a Metal Pokémon from its hand during its turn. Its primary attack, Heavy Impact, requires one Metal and three Colorless Energy to deal 130 damage. The card has a retreat cost of four Colorless Energy and resists Psychic-type attacks by 20. It is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Melmetal appears in the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Unbroken Bonds set, released in May 2019. The card’s flavor text references its historical reverence for creating iron and its unexpected revival after 3,000 years. Artist Kouki Saitou designed the illustration, and the card is classified as a Rare Holo.
Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.
