Meltan

It melts particles of iron and other metals found in the subsoil, so it can absorb them into its body of molten steel.

Quick answer

How do you get Meltan?

Meltan's AshRun quest: Catch one, then gather more, because a single Meltan is only the start of something far larger. It appears in tier 7 raids. Check the complete conditions below; these routes reflect AshRun's installed ATMons files.

Meltan

Meltan is not found in the wild - it is forged. Set a Salamander Eye, a Black Laser Lens, a Red Network Cable, and finally, add a Ring Cast on the altar (it's close enough to a hexagon), and run the ritual beside a working foundry filled with molten gold and steel. The ore-eating hex-nut Pokémon condenses straight out of the molten metal. Catch one, then gather more, because a single Meltan is only the start of something far larger.

Required quest item(s): Ring Cast, Salamander Eye, Black Laser Lens, Red Network Cable

Before you throw a ball

Catching Meltan

If you encounter a wild Meltan, 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.
