Meltan

Meltan is an enigmatic Steel-type Mythical Pokémon. It evolves into Melmetal when fed 400 candies.

Trivia

 * 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.
 * It was originally unavailable for capture, but it appeared in the wild as a disguised Ditto.
 * Its name was originally displayed as "???" in gameplay and in game data it is referred either as "Pokémon 891" or "Kecleon".
 * Additionally, following names were given for this Pokémon in player community before its official name was announced: "Nutto", "Nutface", "Incogditto", and “DittoNut”. All of these nicknames refer to its nut-shaped head.
 * Its small, silver body resembles Ditto and a hardware nut-shaped head with an eye floating inside, which when displayed in nearby as shadow silhouette resembles Unown.
 * It cannot be rotated in the encounter screen and in the official gameplay, there is no possibility to have it in screens such as Pokémon summary page, Pokédex entry nor Buddy Pokémon screen and in the Map View its model's scale is incredibly small, however using AR+ or third party software to manipulate gameplay its rear can be seen with a little red wire tail visible.
 * In case of shiny variant this tail has a blue color.
 * It is the first and only Pokémon to appear only in Pokémon GO and not in any other Pokémon game, including main series.
 * It is currently impossible to catch as it always turns into Ditto

 * There are sound files of Meltan's and Melmetal's cries in game assets. These files are called "pv891.wav" and "pv892.wav" and they imply that Meltan's National Pokédex entry number is 891, which can confirm at least 86 new Pokémon species introduced in Generation VIII of the core games series.
 * Eventually, trainers will be able to obtain Meltan when they transfer a pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon Let's Go. It will give them a mystery box which they can open and Meltan will appear for that player only.
