(Japanese: メロエッタ Meloetta) is a dual-type Normal/Psychic or Normal/Fighting legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Meloetta is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, but it is able to change forms by using Ancient Song.
Biology
Physiology
Meloetta seems to be a femininely anthropomorphic figure with musical bar-style streaks in its hair, quarter notes (♩) for its arms and hands, and pupil-less eyes resembling whole notes. It has a third eye or a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a rabbit. Its ovular head seems to be 1/3 its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Voice Forme it has flowing, wavy green hair and light blue eyes. In its Step Forme it has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In either Forme, its midriff and eyes match its hair.
Gender differences
Meloetta is a genderless species.
Special abilities
According to artists in Unova, Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music and songs. This made the Pokémon popular towards music artists and dancers alike.

Origin
Meloetta appears to be based on the Muses of Greek Mythology, in particular Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and chorus, and possibly Euterpe, the Muse of music and poetry.
Name origin
Its name likely derives from "melody," or song, and "etta", a common suffix in female names. It may also possibly derive from the French song Alouette.
