Melli (Japanese: ツバキ Tsubaki) is a warden tasked with watching over a special Electrode found in the Coronet Highlands. He is a member of the Diamond Clan. He specializes in Poison-type Pokémon.

In the core series

Melli first appears during the meeting between Adaman, Kamado, and the player when discussing the situation involving the Diamond Lord Pokémon, Electrode. He storms into the room demanding to be involved since he is the Warden responsible for Electrode. He believes the power granted by Frenzying is a blessing granted by Sinnoh to protect the Diamond Clan.

Once in the Coronet Highlands, Melli attempts to sabotage the player by removing the torches within Wayward Cave, and then challenging the player to a battle outside the Ancient Quarry. Once at the Moonview Arena where Electrode resides, Melli challenges the player once again to protect Electrode from being calmed.

In the post-game, Melli can be found at Moonview Arena. Speaking to him allows the player to initiate a rematch against Lord Electrode. If the player completes the challenge, Melli will award four Exp. Candies M and, if the player received no damage, three Grit Pebbles.

Pokémon

Like all members of the Diamond Clan, Melli does not keep his Pokémon partners in a Poké Ball and will send out all of his Pokémon against the player.
