Meltan first appeared in [[SM111]], where it and several other {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Meltan}} arrived on [[Melemele Island]]. While investigating the sewers, the Meltan were divided into two groups and one ended up at the [[Ultra Guardians]] base under the [[Pokémon School]]. After being chased out by [[Lusamine's Clefable]], they encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}, who decided to study the newly discovered species. During their study, the Meltan scattered, save for a lone Meltan that decided to take a nap next to [[Ash's Rowlet]]. When Rowlet accidentally startled Meltan and caused its hex nut to fall off, Rowlet retrieved the nut before a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Murkrow}} could steal it. Taking a liking to Rowlet, Meltan chose to sneak inside of Ash's [[bag|backpack]], causing Ash to unknowingly take it home with him. | Meltan first appeared in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', where it and several other {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Meltan}} arrived on [[Melemele Island]].

In [[SM112|the next episode]], another incident with a Murkrow caused Meltan's hex nut to land in {{TRT}}'s van. After a failed attempt to replace the nut, Meltan and Rowlet encountered Team Rocket, who tried to capture them. When {{MTR}} attacked, Rowlet defended Meltan by taking all of Meowth's attacks, leaving it unable to fight back. Rowlet's pain angered Meltan, who proceeded to defeat Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Afterward, Ash arrived and brought Rowlet and Meltan back to the Pokémon School. Seeing how it bonded with Rowlet, Ash offered Meltan to join his [[party|team]], which it accepted after saying goodbye to its Meltan friends. | In [[SM112|the next episode]], another incident with a Murkrow caused Meltan's hex nut to land in {{TRT}}'s van.

Meltan is a naturally curious individual who is prone to wander off on its own. It formed a very close friendship with [[Ash's Rowlet]] after it protected it from {{MTR}}'s {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Also, Meltan looks up to Rowlet and sees it as a mentor figure, much like [[Ash's Noivern]]'s relationship with {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Meltan gets easily scared, as seen in [[SM111]], where it was reluctant to follow its fellow {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Meltan}} into the sewer, only following when it was forced. Despite being scared, Meltan will help its friends in any way it can. After joining Ash's team, Meltan easily became close to Ash and became friends with its teammates. Meltan also becomes very upset whenever it loses its hex nut. | Meltan is a naturally curious individual who is prone to wander off on its own.

Like many of its species, Meltan consumes anything made of metal, as seen in [[SM112]], when [[Professor Burnet]] discovered a frying pan partially eaten. Frying pans in particular appear to be Meltan's favorite food. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM115]], Meltan was seen happily consuming the frying pan Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were using for target practice. In [[SM116]], 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]], 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]], when it ate the metal on a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}}'s ship to help free a {{p|Kyogre}}. Because of its liquid body, Meltan cannot move very fast, and is often seen chasing after friends or other things that draw its curiosity or riding on Rowlet. Meltan'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, Meltan consumes anything made of metal, as seen in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', when [[Professor Burnet]] discovered a frying pan partially eaten.

Inside and outside of battle, Meltan has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer. This was showcased in [[SM118]], where it attacked [[Ryuki]] because Rowlet was losing to his {{p|Zweilous}}. Later, while battling Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}}, Meltan followed up an unsuccessful {{m|Headbutt}} with an unprompted {{m|Flash Cannon}}, surprising Ash. | Inside and outside of battle, Meltan has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer.
