Episode Synopsis
One hundred Meltan enter. One Melmetal leaves! It's time to get the facts on this burly, mythic tussle buddy. What sorts of godly acts is it capable of? What kind of damage can it do after Gigantamaxing? What constitutes a deity in the Pokemon world?? Come learn with us and cram your brain with Pokemon knowledge! Follow along with the entries below:
Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee: Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.
Sword: At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan.
Shield: Centrifugal force is behind the punches of Melmetal’s heavy hex-nut arms. Melmetal is said to deliver the strongest punches of all Pokémon.
BTB: This beefy god of Metal has returned to us after 3000 years to show off its incredible punching ability.
Gigantamax Melmetal
Sword: In a distant land, there are legends about a cyclopean giant. In fact, the giant was a Melmetal that was flooded with Gigantamax energy.
Shield: It can send electric beams streaking out from the hole in its belly. The beams’ tremendous energy can vaporize an opponent in one shot.
