Meltan is a Steel-type Pokémon (National Dex #808) with a low stat total of 300. You can have one built for Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 65, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Meltan takes super-effective damage from Fire, Fighting, Ground. It is completely immune to Poison. It resists Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy. Its ability options are Magnet Pull.
In-game, Meltan has 10 recorded encounter locations across Legends: Z-A (2), Sword & Shield (4), Let's Go (4) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Legends: Z-A, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Meltan ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
