THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE ITS EYE THAN ITS EYELID

I’ve been always squeamish about dealing with eyes in a rough manner, specially with hands so it’s nightmare fuel for me...

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

Meltan knows Flash Cannon!

I guess the Steelium Z might be useful after all!

 

[KrspaceT]

Whoever guessed the bottlecaps was right, poor James.

That's its only STAB move, so no surprise there.

Ummm...should we be concerned about the Magneton?

And I already have this sinking feeling I'm going to hate Meltan even more than I did Poipole...<_<

....Depends, but I must admit I had not thought about what Meltan might be like for Pokemon with metallic bodies.

It's the bane of Steel-types everywhere!
(a large group of them can strip a Steelix to the bone in under a minute)

So they are basically the Scraplets as depicted in at least Transformers Prime?

Very excited for meltan! I’ve always thought this little guy was so cute and the anime seems to have made it even cuter. I also love to see that meltan can at least attack (flash cannon), so it wouldn’t be like a nebby or poipole (it used fury attack once). Finally, I cannot wait for rowlet and meltan moments!

 

[Dogasu]

There has to be a medium between "Appearing every episode just to blast off" and "We don’t have a clue they exist"

Whenever I point out the Rocket trio's abysmal attendance record in this show (at the moment they've only appeared in 61 of 110 Sun & Moon episodes, or about 56% of the show) I always, always get people clapping back at me with "well I for one am glad they're not being shoved down our throats every single episode" as if any other number between 56% and 100% just simply doesn't exist.

Second preview of the episode:

 

[marshiyanmisuta]

Okay, Shaymin is the new Togepi now.

 

[BigDocFan]

With Professor Oak appearing, is it too much to hope Tracey gets a mention

Professor Oak: I had to leave Tracey minding the lab, he wanted to come but someone had to stay behind

At the same time, doesn't realize the base is being under attack from these mythical pokémon. Continuing do the cleaning job as usual.

So Meltan also increased the work load on Clefable...
Seems like the writers are trying to make us hate Meltan.
