Strategy & play

How Melmetal ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Iron Swing) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥140 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Meltan; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Melmetal ex

  • Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥140 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

How can I tell if my Melmetal ex is real?

Melmetal ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.
