Meltan evolves into Melmetal only inside Pokemon GO (400 Meltan Candy) - it cannot evolve in Let's Go. To have a Melmetal in Let's Go you evolve Meltan in GO, then transfer the Melmetal via GO Park. Shiny Melmetal requires a shiny Meltan (GO event, ~Feb 2019 onward) evolved in GO and transferred in; shininess carries over.
Melmetal Weakness
Fire, Fighting, and Ground moves hit Melmetal for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 10 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Melmetal's physical bulk (base 143 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Fighting, Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy |
| 0x (Immune) | Poison |

How to Evolve
Let's Go Melmetal Best Moveset
143 Attack and 143 Defense at 135 HP on pure Steel. Exclusive to this format through Pokemon GO transfers. MoveDouble Iron Bash hits twice at 60 base power each with a flinch chance per hit, the signature move that makes the moveset unique. 34 Speed means going last, but the bulk and power survive to trade blows with almost anything.
Best Build
Meltan Candy
Mighty Candy+ATKBrave raises Attack and lowers Speed. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Red, then Pink. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Melmetal

Moves List
The level-up pool tells the story here. Melmetal learns Superpower and Hyper Beam naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Coverage across 7 types extends the reach beyond that.
