Melmetal 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}} while it was still a Meltan. Also, Melmetal looks up to Rowlet and sees it as a mentor figure, much like [[Ash's Noivern]]'s relationship with {{AP|Hawlucha}}. | Melmetal 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}} while it was still a Meltan. Also, Melmetal looks up to Rowlet and sees it as a mentor figure, much like [[Ash's Noivern]]'s relationship with {{AP|Hawlucha}}. As a Meltan, it liked sleeping with Rowlet inside Ash's backpack. Melmetal 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, Melmetal will help its friends in any way it can. After joining Ash's team, Melmetal easily became close to Ash and became friends with its teammates. Melmetal also becomes very upset whenever it loses its hex nut. As a Meltan, it took a liking to [[Ash's hat]] and being inside it, as shown in ''[[SM126|Pikachu's Exciting Adventure!]]'', when it, alongside its teammates, were looking for Ash and {{AP|Torracat}}. | ||
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 | Inside and outside of battle, Melmetal used to have 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}}, Meltan followed up an unsuccessful {{m|Headbutt}} with an unprompted {{m|Flash Cannon}}, surprising Ash. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Meltan 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, Melmetal gained a lot of physical strength and durability, but still retained its tendency to act on its own accord, and would 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. Ever since the training it did with Ash before his exhibition match against {{an|Professor Kukui}} in ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Melmetal no longer does things on its own accord and will listens to Ash's commands in battle. | ||
