The first Mythical Pokemon with the ability to evolve.

The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have released a new video, information, and screenshots for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! introducing Meltan (2) evolution Melmetal.

Get the details below.

Meet Melmetal, Meltan’s Evolved Form
We have now discovered that Meltan can evolve. Its Evolution is called Melmetal! This is the first Mythical Pokemon with the ability to evolve.
Name: Melmetal
Category: Hex Nut Pokemon
Type: Steel
Height: 8’02”
Weight: 1,763.7 lbs.

This is the first time that Melmetal has been seen in 3,000 years! In ancient times, this Pokemon was worshiped for its power to create metal.
—When Meltan evolves into Melmetal, it grows vastly stronger than before. Its body hardens as a result of its Evolution, and it becomes incredibly sturdy.
—The bulk of its body is made of liquid metal. Its arms in particular are very flexible, and they can whip forward to deliver devastating punches.
Melmetal’s Powerful Double Iron Bash
Melmetal possesses a unique Steel-type physical move called Double Iron Bash. With this powerful move, Melmetal uses the hex nut in its chest like an axle to spin its powerful arms around, dealing a double strike to the opponent. The weight of the heavy hex nuts on its arms combined with this spinning motion give this move extraordinary power. After it hits, it may even make the target flinch!
Evolving Meltan into Melmetal
—It has become clear that Meltan will only evolve into Melmetal in Pokemon GO. To evolve it, you will need 400 Meltan Candies.
—Just as with the Candies you collect for other Pokemon, you’ll be able to get Meltan Candies by doing things like catching Meltan, sending it to Professor Willow, or having Meltan travel around with you as your Buddy Pokemon.
—You’ll also get these Candies when you send Meltan from Pokemon GO to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Plus, you’ll also be able to use some other handy shortcuts to speed up this Evolution, such as getting more Meltan Candies by trading with friends or using Rare Candies to help you along the way.
—You can bring Melmetal you’ve evolved in Pokemon GO to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! You can also have friends send them to you from their Pokemon GO accounts. Have fun exploring the Kanto region together with Melmetal!
