The short version
Melmetal is a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon with 130 HP, weak to Fire and a retreat cost of 3. It is card 182 of 286 in Genetic Apex, printed at Rare, and it turns up in the Charizard pack. It evolves from Meltan. 75 cards in the expansion are rarer than this one. Opening for it means about 390 packs to be reasonably sure of one, which at 2 free packs a day is 7 months. The art is by Kouki Saitou, who has 82 other cards in the game.
At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan.
