Provenance

Where it came from

Melmetal, a Mythical Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation, debuted as the first evolution of Meltan. It was designed to anchor the narrative of the mobile title Pokémon GO, where it remains exclusively available through interaction with the Nintendo Switch integration. Its aesthetic, featuring a liquid-metal body composed of hex nuts, was developed by Game Freak to evoke the concept of alchemy and ancient industrial mechanisms.

The 189/264 card from the Fusion Strike expansion, released in 2021, features the character in a Rare Holo format. This set was designed to introduce the Battle Styles mechanic, incorporating cards that interacted with the Rapid Strike or Single Strike playstyles. As a metal-type card, this iteration of Melmetal fits into the broader mechanical design of the set, which focused on complex, strategic interactions between Pokémon cards and supporting trainer cards.
