In-Depth Analysis
Meltan's 300 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (65) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 34 means careful positioning matters.
Its Steel typing leaves Meltan 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 Meltan a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
