Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body.
Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye. Clearly a curious Pokémon, Meltan is very expressive and shows an interest in all kinds of things.
It has been determined that Pokémon GO is somehow key to meeting Meltan in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Updates will be provided as more is discovered about this mysterious Mythical Pokémon.
I got to spend Community Day back in my old hometown with my old squad–got 11 shinies, including a second-tier male and female, and… whatever the heck that thing is supposed to be…

So, two days after I completed the Kanto ‘dex, I finally got Celebi and have completed the available Johto ‘dex (since, ya know, Niantic still hasn’t released Smeargle yet…)!
Got some trades lined up with @ksturf the next month to fill up some of the remaining holes in my Hoenn ‘dex (again from the available ones, since Niantic still hasn’t released a bunch from Hoenn yet, either)–still need a way to get Relicanth and Tropius…
Current holes in my ‘dex: Hitmonlee, Smeargle, Celebi, Nicanda, Ninjask, Shedinja, Azurill, Grumpig, Kecleon, Tropius, Huntail, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Jirachi, Deoxys.
Trainer’s Log: Entry 138
So… On this day, 9/13/18, I have fulfilled a dream I had ever since I was 12 years old…
I GOT THE ORIGINAL 151–COMPLETE KANTO ‘DEX!
I still have Johto and Hoenn to complete, of course, but to finally, finally, have all original 151… It’s an indescribable moment!
Trainer’s Log: Entry 137
So… today’s Moltres Day was almost an absolute disaster–30 minutes before the event was going to start, my game crashed and would not let me back in. I had to delete the app and redownload it, and even then the first raid was super laggy. It took forever to load, we beat the raid and then it froze, we closed the app and tried to log back in. Finally got back in, tried to get back in the raid, and it took forever to load again. I was on the verge of giving up, but we stuck it out, and… it loaded a shiny. I legit screamed. I ended up doing more raids (which went much more smoothly, thankfully) since I had a star piece going, but this was my only shiny, so I’m definitely very glad I stuck it out.
…Name is a reference to one of my favorite eps of the Johto arc from the anime–
Also, while I didn’t fill any holes in my ‘dex today, in less than a month, @ksturf will be helping me fill three of those holes, including the last ‘mon I need for the original Kanto 151!
Current holes in my ‘dex: Hitmonlee, Smeargle, Celebi, Nicanda, Ninjask, Shedinja, Azurill, Grumpig, Kecleon, Tropius, Huntail, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Jirachi, Deoxys.
Trainer’s Log: Entry 136
Between this ongoing Wingull event and the last Johto one, I had fairly decent shiny luck–got a shiny Sunkern and Pineco, both of which I evolved (ironically, I must have done the Pineco quest at least a dozen times, and didn’t get a shiny–the one, solitary wild Pineco I clicked on during the entire week-long event? Shiny. Of course…), and after a great deal of searching, got a shiny Wingull today. I also traded one of my three shiny Sableye (yep, I had three of them. How, I don’t know…) for a Kangaskhan! I now have all of the Kanto and Johto regionals, and 150 of the original Kanto 151!
Also, I finally did get Regirock, so there’s that, too!
Current holes in my ‘dex: Hitmonlee, Kangaskhan, Smeargle, Celebi, Nicanda, Ninjask, Shedinja, Azurill, Grumpig, Kecleon, Tropius, Huntail, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Regirock, Jirachi, Deoxys.
Trainer’s Log: Entry 135
Attempts at trying to get Regirock have failed, but I’ve been doing this trading thing to fill up the gaps in my ‘dex as Gen 4 comes ever closer to PoGo. Also got my first lucky Pokémon!
Current holes in my ‘dex: Hitmonlee, Kangaskhan, Heracross, Corsola, Smeargle, Celebi, Nicanda, Ninjask, Shedinja, Azurill, Grumpig, Kecleon, Tropius, Huntail, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Regirock, Groudon, Jirachi, Deoxys.

So, the dual Community Day was a huge success–I got 23 shiny Eevee and got super luck with my evolutions yesterday to get one each of the Kanto trio.
I also got my first Registeel yesterday and first Alola Marowak today, and got my first Unown in a trade!
Trainer’s Log: Entry 133
So, today is a special day–not just because I got my second Alolan Raichu (the one pictured here is my first, which I caught last Sunday), but today is the second anniversary of the day I caught a certain Pidgey that ended up being my MVP for the first 6 months of the game. Albert, my Pidgeot (a legacy Pidgeot with that moveset), who is basically to me what Pikachu is to Ash, pretty much mowed down everything in his path, including Dragonites and Charizards.
Sadly, Pidgeot was among the ‘mons that got nerfed majorly in fall of 2016, but even then, I still put Albert in gyms until he got outclassed by other ‘mons I obtained. I don’t put him in gyms anymore, but I do use still him in 1 and 2 star raids!
Trainer’s Log: Entry 132
So, I was not as lucky this Zapdos day as I was Articuno day–no shiny for me (not really torn up over it, either, seeing as though you can’t even tell the difference between the sprites…), but it wasn’t a total waste; I had an excess of shiny Minun from last week–one of which was a male that I named after Luigi (sadly did not get a shiny male Plusle to name after Mario–only females), and, today, I ended up trading one of my spare female shiny Minun for a Volbeat!
The raids also gave me enough rare candy to get a Gardevoir; I have another male Ralts that’ll be Gallade when gen 4 drops–a male Gardevoir might end up being rarer after that…
