Every Melmetal card

The short version

Melmetal has six printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Pulsing Aura. It is a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon printed at between 130 and 170 HP, weak to Fire, with a retreat cost of 4. They run to five rarities — one Uncommon, two Rares, one Double Rare, one Super Rare and one Special Art Rare. The hardest to pull is the Special Art Rare from Mega Rising, at about 1 in 460 packs, or 1,250 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,059 packs, which is about 1.5 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Pulsing Aura, Mega Gyarados, Eevee and Charizard packs. The most recent is Melmetal #123, from an expansion that shipped in April 2026. That printing attacks with Overdrive Smash for 60. The card’s own words: “Centrifugal force is behind the punches of Melmetal’s heavy hex-nut arms. Melmetal is said to deliver the strongest punches of all Pokémon.” It has been drawn by five artists, PLANETA CG Works more than anyone else with two cards.
