Meltan's body can corrode metal, which it then absorbs. It can generate electricity using the metal it absorbs, and then fire it from its eye.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon Let's Go site | New Pokémon]</ref> According to [[Professor Willow]], Meltan has been described in ancient texts found in the same place as the [[Mystery Box]], a mysterious item that attracts Meltan to its location when opened. Professor Willow also states that Meltan is said to be created from small shards when a {{p|Melmetal}} rusts and splits apart. Meltan is known to live in groups, until the day comes where one strong Meltan absorbs the group to evolve into Melmetal. | Meltan's body can corrode metal, which it then absorbs.

As seen in the [[SM111|anime]], the hexagonal nut on its body can be removed. It has also been seen working in packs. When provoked, it will spin its head, creating a sound that calls others of its own kind. This head-spinning can also be used as a sign of affection. The anime has also shown that [[SM112|Meltan can be tamed if fed metal-like treats]], [[SM124|and it can multiply in numbers overtime]]. Meltan is one of the smallest Pokémon, tying with {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Klefki}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Steel}}. | As seen in the [[SM111|anime]], the hexagonal nut on its body can be removed.
