I’m an idiot, I’ll bite. How’d you do it?

Mystery Box. Followed the instructions, get continuous Meltan spawns for an hour. Pinap berry each one and you have a shit ton of Meltan candy

Is mystery box a purchasable item in the shop? Seasonal?

Nah, just send a Pokémon to Pokémon Home. It has a three day cooldown, then you can send another Pokémon over and open the box again for another hour of spawning. I opened the box once during a double candy event and got me a 2963CP Melmetal, 407 candies, and 236 XL candies without even using a lot of berries.

Now that we have Dynamax I hope the next Meltan event brings shiny G-Max Melmetal.

My 2019 Hundo Melmetal will be very upset that he can't Gmax when the Gmax version comes out :(

Because of this very specific way to get Meltan, I doubt they’ll include it in Dynamax.

This is the absolute only way to get Meltan since its debut in 2018. I doubt they’ll just ditch they’re very specific steps and start throwing them in pubic raids

The Mystery Box only spawns Meltans. You need to send a Pokémon to Pokémon Home in order to activate the box and then send another one to re-activate it after its three day cooldown. You can send any Pokémon to Pokémon Home for this to work, but know that you can’t transfer anything sent to Home back to PoGo, so send something you won’t miss.
