Meltan’s evolution “Melmetal” announced
 
No electric typing for it, oh well.

L'Belle October 24th, 2018 6:32 AM

THAT LOOKS AWESOME HOLY SHIT

Miss Wendighost October 24th, 2018 6:55 AM

Kind of disappointed it didn't get an electric typing, but great design overall.

BadSamaritan October 24th, 2018 7:26 AM

I hate when they do bs retcon stuff like this. Doing a mythical evolution after 7 generations of none existing isn't creative, it's just stupid.

Just like when they did cosmog being the first legend to evolve. It just makes the design team look like idiots for following a rule for 20 years when they could have just not done it and been making them the whole time.

At the very least, on the positive side I like the lore behind the evolution, and hope that fusing a bunch of them together actually manifests itself gameplay wise.(as opposed to zygarde which was just an ability that showed an animation depicting it)

It is swole and I love it

As noted in the article, you just need 400 Candy to evolve, rather than physically merge them together. Mind you given it's GO only it makes sense they cut corner given the obvious issue of storage limits being experienced by players atm...

The storage limit is kinda why I thought it would be a good idea though. If you could merge them prior to having 400 candy worth of them, that is.

Now I'm wondering how this Pokemon will evolve in the generation 8 games...

Anyway, Melmetal has won me over.

Janp October 24th, 2018 9:58 AM

I didn't like Meltan's design, but I love Melmetal! I really hope they'll do more with the whole lore either in GO or Let's GO (or even in the Gen VIII games).

But that way to evolve it? I can see that Meltan will be rare and it will take a long time to get 400 candies. And I'm not even talking about how it will work in Gen VIII games.

Caite-chan October 24th, 2018 10:25 AM

It looks like it took some steroids and bulked up. xD I like it though.

CF1994 October 24th, 2018 11:00 AM

A very badass evolution for a surprising break from Mythical norms.

This titan is the love child of Registeel and Donphan, with a hint of Regirock and even Regigigas.

My body is definitely, absolutely ready to get riggity, riggity rekt! (Just joking!)

VisionofMilotic October 24th, 2018 11:16 AM

No sir, I don't like it.

I understood that reference, even if it’s your own opinion, which I respect.

Same here, I totally respect others who are excited about I. Cool, I hope you get this Pokemon since you like it a lot.

Kikaito plush October 24th, 2018 12:36 PM

looks like Regigias grew a head if you ask me

bobandbill October 24th, 2018 1:44 PM

I'm alright with its design, rather neat. Not my most favourite but better than a bunch of others! And it's based on an interesting concept too imo.

It will probably just be a level or special condition. I don't see it being something unique. They always make things easier to get later on. I mean it takes 400 candies to evolve Swablu, Wailmer, and Magikarp. And there is probably one in 4th Gen as well. But there is nothing special to them at all.

thedestinedblade October 24th, 2018 2:17 PM

Thought it looked odd in the trailer, but the official artwork makes it seems a little bit better. But given that it's a mythical, I doubt I'll ever give this new pokemon much use.

Being a pure-steel is kinda disappointing, too. Still, I'm curious to see what it's base stat spread will be,

strangerhypno October 24th, 2018 3:15 PM

Looks like it could be an UB. No wonder why I dislike the design. Looks silly

Yue Han October 24th, 2018 8:48 PM

It looks ridiculous. Meltan was cute and quirky, this looks like a bad effort for a Megazord design.

colours October 24th, 2018 9:54 PM

I genuinely don't mind it! Usually I'm pretty neutral towards the Super Tough designs but Melmetal actually looks kinda nice. :o

Percy October 25th, 2018 12:51 AM

ooh melmetal design is badass. love the meltan line now. disappointed with the evolution method though. i don't play PoGo at all

Dragon October 25th, 2018 2:57 AM

Kinda reminds me of Regirock and registeel were mixed together, but it kinda looks cool! I look forward on setwhat it can do.

Kurapika October 25th, 2018 3:51 AM

Hmph! I am quite disappointed, at least I was expecting it.
Competitively, it sounds like an improved version of Registeel. I wonder what its ability will be, Clear Body would be an easy guess. Maybe a signature ability shared with Meltan? Oh wait, it could be Iron Fists... Hmm...
