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.
Its melodies are sung with a special vocalization method that can control the feelings of those who hear it.
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.
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
Timid nature gives Meloetta the fast special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs split the difference, and Psychic coverage punishes anything trying to wall it.

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.
