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).
Its Steel typing leaves Melmetal with 3 weaknesses against 10 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
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.
