Stats and Stat Score
Melmetal has 131 HP, 92 speed and a 1.49x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the best on the roster, its speed is among the lowest on the roster and its attack is among the best on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 78, which puts it at rank 54 overall, rank 11 of 83 among Alola Pokemon and rank 5 of 61 Steel-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Melmetal moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Melmetal starts every run with Metal Claw: a steel swipe in an arc.
The level-up cards can then offer 11 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 3 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Steel moves: Metal Claw, Flash Cannon, Meteor Mash
Weaknesses and resistances
Melmetal takes extra damage from Fire (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), and Ground (1.6x). It resists Poison (0.3x), Normal (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), Psychic (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), Rock (0.6x), Dragon (0.6x), Steel (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 4 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Melmetal are the ones whose first type is Fire, Fighting, or Ground. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Steel moves do not hit harder just because Melmetal shares the type.
How to get Melmetal
Melmetal is part of the Alola banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 17 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Melmetal a 0.09% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 740 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Melmetal exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Melmetal as an enemy
Melmetal never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Steel Fortress (Steel). Its attack set is a ground slam, a straight charge, a fan of beams, and a ring of shots. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
