Pokédex Entries

Sword "At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan." Shield "Centrifugal force is behind the punches of Melmetal’s heavy hex-nut arms. Melmetal is said to deliver the strongest punches of all Pokémon."
Let's Go, Pikachu! Let's Go, Eevee! "Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years."
