'''Meloetta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メロエッタ''' ''Meloetta'') is a dual-type {{2T|Normal|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].
'''Meloetta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メロエッタ''' ''Meloetta'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].
 
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Meloetta has two [[#Form data|forms]]: its default form, '''Aria Forme''', and a second form, the  {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type '''Pirouette Forme'''. Meloetta changes forms when it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} during a {{pkmn|battle}} and reverts to Aria Forme when [[Recall|switched out]] or when the battle ends.


While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Meloetta|second Forme]] activated by using the [[move]] {{m|Relic Song}} in battle. Its original Forme, '''Aria Forme''', will then become the {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type '''Pirouette Forme'''.
Meloetta was leaked on a poster for the fifteenth [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', on February 26, 2012, and was officially revealed by [[Oha Suta]] on March 1, 2012.


Meloetta was leaked on a poster of [[M15]] on February 26, 2012, and it was officially revealed by [[Oha Suta]] on March 1, 2012.
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is associated with the [[Forces of Nature]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
Meloetta seems to be a femininely anthropomorphic figure with {{wp|Bar (music)|musical bar}}-style streaks in its hair, {{wp|quarter note}}s (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling {{wp|whole note}}s (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a {{wp|clef|treble clef}} which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be ⅓ its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, it has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has {{wp|red hair|auburn hair}} that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In either Forme, its midriff and eyes match its hair. It is a genderless species.
Meloetta is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a femininely anthropomorphic figure with {{wp|Bar (music)|musical bar}}-style streaks in its hair, {{wp|quarter note}}s (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling {{wp|whole note}}s (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be a third of its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has {{wp|red hair|auburn hair}} that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In both forms, its midriff and eyes match its hair. It is a [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] species.  


According to artists in Unova, Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers.
According to artists in [[Unova]], Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers. Meloetta's melody has a special vocalization method. Meloetta's melody can control the feelings of those who hear it. It can make both humans and Pokémon feel happy or sad through this method. The song can also [[BW096|unseal ancient ruins]] such as the [[ Abyssal Ruins]] At one point, Meloetta can lose its signature melody and ability to dance should the world be filled with sorrow. Meloetta is capable of flying. Like many other {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], Meloetta is capable of temporarily turning invisible. Meloetta's song can be channeled to [[BW097|summon and control]] the original three [[Forces of Nature]] Pokémon in connection with the [[Reveal Glass]]. However, this process can cause Meloetta agonizing pain in the process.  


Meloetta is able to change forms when it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, which changes its form from Aria Forme to its Pirouette Forme, or vice versa. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs. While in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances. In its Aria Forme, it is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type Pokémon; in its Pirouette Forme, it is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type Pokémon. It reverts to Aria Forme when [[Recall|switched out]] or when the battle ends. Like many other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta is capable of becoming invisible.
===Forms===
[[File:Meloetta Pirouette TCG Art Life.png|thumb|200px|Meloetta's Pirouette Form in the TCG by [[Mizue]]]]
Meloetta has two forms:
Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Meloetta is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Relic Song}}, which allows it to change forms. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs, while in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances.


==History==
<div class="scrollbox">
Meloetta once played {{m|Relic Song|a song}} and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, Meloetta lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere.

|-
Upon entering the cafe in [[Castelia City]], a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

Meloetta made its debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]''. Later, in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'' it appeared in front of [[Cynthia]]'s car, having been attacked by [[Team Rocket]]. It follows {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and Cynthia to [[Undella Town]] and appears again in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''. It openly reveals itself and even sings after becoming very comfortable around Ash and his friends.
 
By ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Meloetta had become comfortable enough to challenge {{AP|one of Ash's Pokémon|Krookodile}} to a battle; however, the battle was interrupted by [[Ridley]] who mistakenly believed Ash was attacking it. {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Team Rocket]] later force Meloetta to surrender after threatening Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Its final appearance in the season was in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' when it decides to go home with Ridley.

After sneaking aboard the [[Battle Subway]] train, Meloetta found its way to Café Sonata, only to be attacked by a group of wild {{p|Vullaby}}. After finding out what happened, {{adv|White}} protected Meloetta while Bianca decided to take a guitar and play with Meloetta in place of the {{tc|Guitarist}} that was injured in the chaos.

===Form data===
Meloetta has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. The two forms have different [[type]]s, with Aria Forme being {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and Pirouette Forme being {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}. Their [[base stats]] also differ, with Pirouette Forme having higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} but lower {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than Aria Forme.
 
Meloetta starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Aria Forme. If it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, it changes form, either from Aria Forme to Pirouette Forme or vice versa. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn. Outside of battle, Meloetta will always be in its Aria Forme.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer with the black headpiece acting like a headset microphone, while the Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu and its "hair" curled up in a bun. In this Forme it also shares elements from Spanish {{wp|Flamenco}} dancers. Meloetta's headpiece resembles a stylized {{wp|clef|treble clef}}. It may be also based on a {{wp|muse}}, a mythological entity to whom was attributed, in Ancient Greece, the ability to inspire artistic creation.
Meloetta may be based on a {{wp|Muses|muse}}, a goddess in {{wp|Greek mythology}} with the ability to inspire artistic creation. Meloetta may also be seen as a personification of music since its design has multiple references to {{wp|musical notation}}: its headpiece resembles a stylized {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, its fingerless hands and slim arms are shaped after {{wp|musical note}}s, and its hair resembles {{wp|Staff (music)|staff lines}} with {{wp|Bar (music)|bar lines}}.

Meloetta's Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu, with its "hair" curled up in a bun, or possibly the headdress worn by {{wp|Nefertiti}} in her namesake {{wp|Nefertiti Bust|sculpture}}. This form may also take inspiration from Spanish {{wp|Flamenco}} dancers.
 
Its transformation between forms, particularly in the anime, is reminiscent of a {{wp|magical girl}}.
 
The guitarist who teaches Meloetta {{m|Relic Song}} in the [[Generation V]] games mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the {{wp|Hans Christian Andersen}} fairy tale ''{{wp|The Red Shoes (fairy tale)|The Red Shoes}}''.
