Meltan #808
Meltan is a tiny Pokémon with a silvery liquid metal body. It has a firm head that looks like a golden hexagonal nut with a little black sphere floating within. This spherical functions as its eye. It has a scarlet tail with two small protrusions at the end that resembles an electrical wire. Meltan's liquid body is comprised of gallium, and it can shed gallium tears, according to official concept art. [1] Its arms may be made longer or shorter by stretching them.

Meltan's body has the ability to corrode metal, which it subsequently absorbs. It can produce electricity by absorbing metal and then firing it from its eye. According to Professor Willow, Meltan has been documented in ancient documents unearthed in the same spot as the Mystery Box, a strange artefact that draws Meltan to its position when opened. Professor Willow also claims that Meltan is formed from minute shards formed when a Melmetal rusts and fractures apart. Meltan i
