What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a Metal Pokémon from your hand. If you do, heal 100 damage from this Pokémon.
Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.

Where it came from
Melmetal made its debut in the 2019 Unbroken Bonds expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released to coincide with the ongoing success of the Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee! video games. As a Mythical Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation, Melmetal represented a significant expansion of the Pokedex, being the first Mythical Pokémon capable of evolution. The inclusion of this card allowed players and collectors to integrate the formidable Steel-type creature into the competitive landscape of the era.
The card features artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist known for his long-standing contributions to the franchise since its inception. Arita’s depiction emphasizes the metallic, fluid nature of the Pokémon, utilizing the Holo Rare finish to accentuate its liquid-metal composition. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid mid-tier inclusion for decks, prized for its tank-like characteristics and the thematic significance of a powerful, modern legendary joining the standard card sets.
