Let's Go, Meltan quest - the toughest we've seen yet in Pokémon Go - as well as from Let's Go on Switch. The latter is also the best way to get evolution Melmetal, since you'll have to catch a lot to get enough
Candy. On this page we detail exactly how to catch Meltan in Pokémon Go and Let's Go, as well as its big evolution Melmetal. On this page: Introduced on Pokémon Let's Go's November 16th release date saw the addition of a new Research quest for Meltan. Similar to Mew, Celebi and

Then you'll need a copy of Pokémon Let's Go on Nintendo Switch. There are several steps involved, so here's a step-by-step explanation. How to catch Meltan in Pokémon Go using Pokémon Let's Go
How to catch Melmetal in Pokémon Go Catching Melmetal is pretty simple: the only way you can get it is to evolve a Meltan. It costs a whopping 400 Candy, so you're going to need to repeat the process quite a few times! Once you do have enough Meltan Candy, it's exactly the same as usual, just select evolve for the Meltan you want to evolve, and Melmetal's yours! How to get Meltan in Pokémon Let's Go - and how to get evolution MelmetalThe two-way reliance between Pokémon Let's Go on Switch and Pokémon Go continues here, as the only way you can get a Meltan in Let's Go is to trade it from Pokémon Go! There's no way to catch or acquire a Meltan in Let's Go on Switch, or for that matter a Melmetal, in Pokémon Let's Go otherwise. So you need to first get it in Pokémon Go, and then trade it over. Worth noting as well is the fact that, as far as we know, there's no way to evolve Meltan into Melmetal once you've transferred the Meltan to Let's Go. As transferring is one-way - as in, you can't take any Pokémon from Let's Go over to Go, only from the mobile Go to the Switch's Let's Go - that means you need to evolve a Meltan in Pokémon Go first, then transfer it to Let's Go, in order to get the big boy Melmetal in Let's Go, too.
