steel

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. 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
