Collector Insights

Melmetal is a Metal-type Pokémon with 150 HP. It features the ability Metal Eater, which allows the player to discard a Metal Pokémon from their hand during their turn to heal 100 damage to this Pokémon. Its primary attack, Heavy Impact, costs one Metal and three Colorless Energy, dealing 130 damage. The card has a retreat cost of four Colorless Energy. Melmetal resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks multiplied by two. The flavor text describes it as a revered Pokémon capable of creating iron from nothing, though it inexplicably revived after 3,000 years. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the SM Black Star Promos set, released in February 2017. The card is classified as a Promo rarity and was illustrated by artist TOKIYA.

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