Meloetta (メロエッタ Meroetta) is a Normal-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation V. Using the move Relic Song, Meloetta can change between two Formes that also changes its second type: Aria Forme, in which Meloetta's second type is Psychic, and Pirouette Forme, in which its second type is Fighting.
Biology
Physiology
Meloetta is a distinctly feminine fairy-like Pokémon (though not a Fairy type) that possesses two forms. It has a large, round white head and a small black-cloaked body with tiny extremities. Its arms and legs are very slender and fragile-looking. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has green hair that resembles a musical bar. Its eyes are blue-green, along with the round jewel on its forehead. In its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun. It has red eyes that match the color of its hair. In either Forme, Meloetta's middle section and eyes match its hair color.
Evolution
Meloetta does not evolve. However, Meloetta has a second Forme activated by using the move Relic Song in battle. Its original Forme, Aria Forme, will then become the Normal/Fighting-type Pirouette Forme.

Appearances
Anime
- Main article: Meloetta (anime)
Meloetta made its anime debut in the special Pikachu short, which aired alongside the 15th Pokémon movie. Meloetta's other appearance was in "An Epic Defence Force". Meloetta was first pursued by Team Rocket in Virbank City. It was able to elude them but somehow made its way into the Pokéstar Studios where Ash had encountered it. After he saved it from a collapse of the falling billboards it stayed close behind him, following him to Virbank Gym.
Other Appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Meloetta in its Aria Forme appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game. It will create projectiles that bounce around the stage and reflect off of terrain. It will appear only after playing for at least 8 hours.
Trophy Description
NA: A Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon, Meloetta can change its Forme by using Relic Song. In Smash Bros., Meloetta appears in its Aria Forme, using an attack called Echoed Voice to send waves of sound bouncing around the stage. The more walls and platforms, the harder this is to avoid.
PAL: This Normal- and Psychic-type Pokémon has the ability to change Forme mid-battle by using Relic Song. Appearing this game in its Aria Forme, it uses Echoed Voice to send echoes shooting up and down the stage, reflecting off walls and platforms. The more obstacles there are on a stage, the harder it is to avoid!
Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros., Meloetta is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Echoed Voice.
- Meloetta in its Pirouette Forme is the lightest Fighting type Pokémon.
Origin
In its Aria Forme, Meloetta is likely based on the Muses, the Greek goddesses of art, music, and poetry. It also takes inspiration from music itself such as its headpiece that resembles a treble clef, its hair resembling staff and bar lines, and its arms resembling quarter notes (or, if paired with the stripe alongside its body, could make them resemble an eighth note). Its headpiece also resembles a microphone headset, possibly making it based on idol singers.
In its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta resembles a ballerina and a flamenco dancer.
The red shoes mentioned in the history is a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Red Shoes.
Etymology
Meloetta comes from melody, pirouette, and -etta (a common suffix in feminine names meaning "little").
