Generation 7
Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Let’s Go, Eevee!

It melts particles of iron and other metals found in the subsoil, so it can absorb them into its body of molten steel.

Generation 8
Sword

It dissolves and eats metal. Circulating liquid metal within its body is how it generates energy.

Shield

They live as a group, but when the time comes, one strong Meltan will absorb all the others and evolve.
