Melmetal

Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.

Quick answer

How do you get Melmetal?

Melmetal's AshRun quest: Six Meltan can fuse into Melmetal, the steel titan of legend. This ritual is the most demanding of them all. Lay at least 9 High Powered Heating Coils in the ground beneath the altar - they only glow once they are attached to a working foundry, so build one to power them rather than expecting a switch on the coils themselves. Set three Soul Lava Buckets on the altar to drive the heat, and a Metal Coat as the catalyst. Send out six Meltan around the altar, then trigger it - the swarm collapses into one enormous body. It appears in tier 7 raids. Check the complete conditions below; these routes reflect AshRun's installed ATMons files.

Before you throw a ball

Catching Melmetal

If you encounter a wild Melmetal, catch it in battle after unlocking its matching regional Pika Star advancement.

Follow the acquisition route on this page first; a special label does not mean it spawns naturally.
Check the required region in the battle message. Regional forms can need a different star from the original species.
Use a ball during the battle. Even a Master Ball cannot bypass the outside-battle restriction.

These rules describe wild encounters. Raids and scripted encounters may use their own capture flow. Read the catching guide and blocked-throw checklist · Checked 2026-10-16.

Base catch-rate value: 3. This is a species value, not a percentage or a promise that a particular ball will work.
