Collector Insights

Melmetal is a Metal-type Pokémon from the Sword & Shield series, featured in the Darkness Ablaze set released on August 14, 2020. It has 150 HP and requires four Colorless Energy to retreat. The card includes two attacks: Energy Link, which costs one Metal Energy to attach an Energy card from the discard pile and deals 30 damage, and Heavy Impact, which demands four Energy (one Metal and three Colorless) to deal 130 damage. Melmetal resists Grass-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Its flavor text describes its lifecycle, noting that it rusts and breaks down into shards that rebirth as Meltan. The card is marked as Rare and has a regulation mark of D. Artist NC Empire designed the illustration, and it carries the Pokédex number 809.

At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan.
