Pokémon GO Melmetal
ThisMelmetal capable of Gigantamaxing is available as a gift from Pokémon HOME as a reward for connecting the game to Pokémon GO and receiving Pokémon from it for the first time. It has perfect IVs in all its stats except Speed, which is 0.
To claim the Zeraora, users must have deposited a Pokémon into HOME or moved one Pokémon from HOME to Pokémon Sword and Shield between June 17 and July 6. Once the player qualified, the gift itself would not expire. The user does not need an active Premium Plan to claim it.
Despite not normally being possible to nickname event Pokémon, this Zeraora can be given a nickname, however it is only possible to nickname this Zeraora when initially redeeming it in HOME, as Pokémon Sword and Shield does not permit renaming outsider Pokémon that already have a nickname, nor does it allow nicknaming fateful encounter Pokémon without a nickname.
