Normal/Psychic gives Meloetta strong STAB coverage, and its stat spread wastes nothing on the offensive side. It sits at a decent but contested Speed tier. A competitive force since Gen 5. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively.
Meloetta's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack trails, 4 stats clear the bar. Near-impossible to catch and worth 3 Sp. Atk and Sp. Def and Speed EVs, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The melodies sung by Meloetta have the power to make Pokémon that hear them happy or sad.
Meloetta Weakness
GoodMeloetta is weak to Bug and Dark-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Meloetta's special bulk (base 128 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
Meloetta is a mythical Normal/Psychic type with 600 total stats. No evolution, no breeding. You get one through events or special distribution.
How to Evolve
Focus Sash guarantees Meloetta survives one hit from full HP. That's enough to deal early damage and fire off Relicsong before going down. Serenegrace and max Attack and Speed EVs maximize first-turn impact.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 11 types means almost nothing walls Meloetta cleanly, with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
