In ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', while Ash was battling [[Ryuki]] at the [[Kantonian Gym]], and Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, Meltan angrily retaliated by eating away some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit. Ryuki then changed the battle into a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Rowlet and Meltan against Ryuki's Zweilous and {{p|Druddigon}}. Due to its slow movements, Meltan was unable to dodge Druddigon's {{m|Dragon Claw}}s and was forced to try to protect itself with {{m|Harden}}. As Meltan's endurance was running low, Rowlet's {{m|Peck}} suddenly evolved into {{m|Brave Bird}}, allowing it to save Meltan from being defeated. Rowlet and Meltan then launched a combination attack at Zweilous and Druddigon, defeating them and winning the battle for Ash. | In ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', while Ash was battling [[Ryuki]] at the [[Kantonian Gym]], and Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, Meltan angrily retaliated by eating away some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit.

In [[SM130]], when Ash intended to use {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle {{an|Faba}} in the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]], Faba had his {{p|Hypno}} secretly use {{m|Psychic}} to bring out Meltan instead, having spied upon Ash's team the previous night and assumed that Meltan would be the easiest opponent for him. However, during the battle, Meltan became fascinated by Hypno's pendulum, and eventually ended up latching onto it and eating a part of it, preventing Hypno from using {{m|Hypnosis}}. While Hypno was dismayed over losing its pendulum, Ash had Meltan attack it with Flash Cannon, defeating Hypno and advancing Ash to the second round. | In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', when Ash intended to use {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle {{an|Faba}} in the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]], Faba had his {{p|Hypno}} secretly use {{m|Psychic}} to bring out Meltan instead, having spied upon Ash's team the previous night and assumed that Meltan would be the easiest opponent for him.

In [[SM132]], Meltan watched Ash and Rowlet's battle against [[Hau]] and his {{p|Decidueye}}. After witnessing Rowlet's victory in [[SM133|the next episode]], a determined Meltan climbed to the top of the [[Manalo Stadium]] [[Pokémon Center]] and started calling for the other Meltan to meet up with it. | In [[SM132]], Meltan watched Ash and Rowlet's battle against [[Hau]] and his {{p|Decidueye}}.

Like many of its species, Melmetal consumes anything made of metal. Frying pans, in particular, appear to be Melmetal's favorite food, as seen in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', when [[Professor Burnet]] discovered a frying pan that had been partially eaten. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM115]], Melmetal was seen happily consuming the frying pan Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were using for target practice. In ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'', Rowlet had to stop it from eating another one of Burnet's pans. {{Rotom}} later mused that it had already ruined three pans. This tendency came in handy in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', when it, [[Sandy]], and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Shaymin}} found themselves stuck in a cage made by Team Rocket. This was shown again in ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', when it ate the metal on a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}}'s ship to help free a {{p|Kyogre}}. Because of its liquid body as a Meltan, Melmetal could not move very fast and was often seen chasing after friends or other things that drew its curiosity or riding on Rowlet. Melmetal's slow movement prevents it from dodging well, causing it to rely on moves like {{m|Harden}} to endure enemy attacks. | Like many of its species, Melmetal consumes anything made of metal.

Inside and outside of battle, Melmetal has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer. This was showcased in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', where it attacked [[Ryuki]] because Rowlet was losing to his {{p|Zweilous}}. Later, while battling Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}}, Melmetal followed up an unsuccessful {{m|Headbutt}} with an unprompted {{m|Flash Cannon}}, surprising Ash. In [[SM130]], Melmetal was revealed to enjoy the theatricality of battling, as it enjoyed the applause from the crowd at [[Manalo Stadium]] before its battle against {{an|Faba}}. In the same episode, it was also revealed to enjoy stretching after coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. After evolving, it gained a lot of physical strength and durability, but still retained its tendency to act on its own accord, and will cry if hit by a painful attack. As a Melmetal, it appears quite proud of its physique, flexing its body and allowing its Trainer and other Pokémon to climb on it. | Inside and outside of battle, Melmetal has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer.
