New Pokémon Discovered! Meltan!

Over the weekend Pokémon fans were going crazy with theories of the new Pokémon that was “accidentally leaked” during an event weekend on Pokemon Go.
After much anticipation, The Official Pokémon Youtube channel posted this video with a really cool animation and explanation of the newly discovered Pokémon.

What is Meltan?

Well, from the Official Pokémon website, we can see quite a bit of information on the newest Pokémon!
First off,  we can see that this is most likely a Lets Go exclusive. Meltan is a “Hex Nut Pokémon” and will be Steel type. It weights 17.6lbs/around 8kg. and is 0’08″/0.2cm tall!

Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body.
Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye.
Clearly a curious Pokémon, Meltan is very expressive and shows an interest in all kinds of things.
