In-Depth Analysis
Melmetal totals 600 across its base stats, profiling as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Lean on its Attack (143) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Speed (34).
Defensively, the Steel combination gives Melmetal 10 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Melmetal a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
