Biography[]
The Meltan were originally sealed within a crate located underwater near Poni Island, until for some reason, the seal was broken. At the moment, only three Meltan were briefly seen walking underwater.[1]
When Ash and his friends were finished with their studies at Poni Island for their preparation of the upcoming Alolan Pokémon tournament, they returned to Melemele Island. There were more than three Meltan who were sneaking on board, hiding in a shadow within the ship's packaging room, eating few metallic substance and making ring sounds.[2]
When they arrived on Melemele Island, all the Meltan were in a warehouse before they went into the sewers, after they ate the manhole cover. However, they ended up getting separated into two different groups when they were startled by a wild Rattata. One group ended up going into Team Rocket's base while the other group ended up in the Ultra Guardians base inside the Pokémon School. Both groups ended up causing trouble for Team Rocket as well as Lusamine's Clefable as they been eating all the metal they can find. The group of Meltan that was at the Pokémon School went upward and into the classroom. Seeing Sophocles toolbox, the group of Meltan kept on eating the metal until they were discovered by Ash and his classmates when Lillie, who accidentally mistook it for a hex nut, picked up one of them. The group of Meltan were observed by Ash and his classmates along with Professor Kukui until they ran away, after they panicked from Kiawe's Marowak's flaming bone when he was doing a greeting dance for them. While one of the Meltan had taken a liking for Ash's Rowlet and followed him into Ash's backpack, the group of Meltan were trying to find a way to signal the other group of Meltan of their location until they went up to the school bell while the other group went up on top of a tree where they saw each other. Both groups reunite at the Ultra Guardians base, much to Clefable's annoyance.[3]
The group of Meltan, minus one, were causing more trouble and chaos for Clefable due to eating any metal that they could find. However, the group of Meltan were put in a box by Clefable and taught them how to behave better by her as well. The group of Meltan were brought up to the classroom by Clefable to show Ash and his classmates with Professor Kukui of what they can do when they listen to her then gave some metal as an reward. The group of Meltan reunites with the one that has been watched over by Ash's Rowlet. However, the group of Meltan had to say goodbye to their friend when it decided to stay with its new friend but they understood and approved of its decision.[4]
Under direction of Clefable, they began to work for the Aether Foundation to supply gadgets for the Ultra Guardians. When greeted and asked by their old fellow Meltan friend, who is now part of the Guardians, they reply to have loved their jobs.[5]
When Ash and friends were on a mission, the Meltan somehow multiplied.[6] When Ash's Pokémon arrived at the Ultra Guardians base Meltan then show them how they multiply themselves which impressed Ash's Pokémon before they went on a mission of finding their trainer, as well as their teammate Torracat.[7]
At the Ultra Guardians base, Meltan were called by their friend to come join it at the Alola League. After hearing their friend call, They to went to the Manalo Conference.[8] The hordes of Meltan arrive at League after Semi finals were over, when they were traveling underwater.[9] They finally arrive at Manalo Conference during the night, before the final that begins the next day. The Meltan hordes begin an evolution ritual with their friend, becoming a single Pokémon known as Melmetal.[10]
