Description
Card number 188 in the Fusion Strike expansion, Meltan is a Basic Metal-type Pokémon released by The Pokémon Company in 2021. Designed by artist Teeziro, this Common rarity card captures the essence of the Steel-type Pokémon known for absorbing molten metal. For collectors, it represents a key entry for those completing the FST base set, offering a tangible connection to the 2021 era of Pokémon Trading Card Game design. From a gameplay perspective, Meltan brings strategic utility to the table despite its modest 70 HP. Its primary attack, Metal Iron Intake, allows players to heal 30 damage from the Pokémon, providing essential sustainability in longer matches. The subsequent Headbutt attack deals 20 damage, making it a versatile option for early-game aggression or defensive stalling. With a retreat cost of only one Colorless energy, Meltan can easily reposition itself on the bench, maintaining its presence in battle without draining resources. This Meltan card, regulated by mark E, is a staple for players who appreciate the mechanical depth of the Metal type. Whether you are a long-time collector tracking the evolution of Steel-type Pokémon or a new fan exploring the Fusion Strike expansion, this card offers both nostalgic value and practical gameplay potential. The straightforward design and reliable attacks make it a favorite among those who prioritize function alongside completion.
