In [[SM117]], Meltan rode [[Sandy]]'s back for the duration of the group's visit to [[Malie City]]. When {{an|Mallow}}'s hair ornament was blown away by the wind, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Shaymin}} chased after it, and Sandy and Meltan followed Shaymin. After Sandy and Meltan helped Shaymin recover the hair ornament, the three Pokémon were imprisoned by Team Rocket. However, Meltan was able to eat a hole into the cage, allowing the three Pokémon to escape. Team Rocket then sent out their Pokémon, resulting in Sandy getting {{status|poison}}ed by {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} easily dodging Meltan's Flash Cannons. However, Ash, Mallow, and {{an|Lana}} showed up. Ash had Meltan attack Mareanie, whose Sludge Bomb was ineffective against it, allowing it to land a {{m|Headbutt}} on the [[Pokémon category|Brutal Star Pokémon]] before Sandy finished it off with {{m|Double-Edge}}.

In [[SM118]], 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.

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|Show Me the Metal!]]'', 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.

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. 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|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]], 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.

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.
