So, what was the point of these Pokemon? Their existence is so odd to me.

Good concept but FUCKING POKÉMON GO.

I hope that in SV we can get it in some way outside of, getting a mobile game then ANOTHER 60$ GAME just to transfer them into a regular game.

Still don't get why we can't use them in USUM, aren't they of Gen 7? The fuck.

To everyone in this thread who doesn't have a Meltan because they don't play Go or think they missed their chance, it's actually super easy to get one; unlike most pokemon in Go they aren't random spawns or event exclusive, they're available pretty much whenever you want and you don't need Let's Go to transfer it.

>open Go
>link your Pokemon Home account
>transfer a single pokemon into Pokemon Home, which unlocks a "mystery box"
>open the box from your inventory and Meltan will spawn around you at a rate of about 1 per minute for an hour
>catch one, transfer into Home directly (or work out how to transfer into Let's Go if you want it there)
>???
>profit

You should already have Melmetal from that Gmax Home mystery gift but if you want one, you'll have to repeat this process of catching Meltan in 3 days time when the box resets until you have 400 meltan candy (you get 3 for each catch and 1 for each one you transfer/release, so you should have enough after 2 or 3 catching sessions), then you can evolve one of your meltans before transferring it into Home

Mythical doesn’t mean anything anymore. We have a grass monkey that is also a mythical for no reason.

Meltan was literally the greatest Pokemon reveal since stuff like Ho-Oh and Donphan got revealed in the anime before their game's release. It was the first time since the GB era that people had zero idea what the fuck was going on, which is especially impressive considering it happened in an age where everything usually gets datamined several months in advanced.

Meltan and Melmetal have no business being Mythical (even though I still think they’re very cool) but I think Zarude fits the bill.
At least he has his own movie.

Meltan's reveal was the most memorable Pokemon experience I've had since I was a kid.

Adding to this, it takes 400 Meltan candy to evolve one to a Melmetal. You can get 3 for catching (6 if you use the yellow berry) and one more for transferring it (either to the professor or sending to HOME). You can also wait for x2 candy rate days, usually on Halloween or for Shiny Meltan events which also give x2 candy as well as a chance for a shiny.

The vast majority of Mythicals on their official release debut if you live in Japan.
Buying a movie ticket for the latest annual shlock was typically the only way to get the Mythical without waiting much later until more standard distributions.
And now that COVID's fucked up the film industry entirely, we're not getting anymore Mythicals outright because that's the sole reason they still bothered making them, they helped push box office sales.

but you can get them for free

1. Download GO
2. Play until you get the Mystery Box and catch any mon you find
3. Transfer this mon to Pokemon HOME (be sure you linked your HOME account to GO beforehand)
4. Open the Mystery Box, catch a Meltan
4.5 Open HOME and receive the mon you transferred, then go back to GO and transfer Meltan to HOME
5. Open HOME, get your free G-Max Melmetal and pick the Meltan you had transferred
6. Move both of them to SwSh

No need for LGPE, no need to even pay for a HOME sub
