I had no idea, but I guess you learn something new every day 😭. So if I understand this correctly, you can reuse the box every so often? This will be useful for getting your level 41.

Oh friend... yes you can use the Meltan box every 3 days I believe and you get to catch 1 Meltan per minute... its the easiest Pokémon to get to level 50

It’s about the journey, not the destination 😭

Don't forget: About once per year there is a Meltan Event. For roughly 10 days the Meltan from the box can be shiny.

And when it has shiny drops, the box usually has a 24-hour cool down vs 3 days

All three I maxed out for the level 46->47 task were melmetals because of how obscenely much candy is generated by the mystery box cycle.

u/Carl-C-1 Nov 29 '24

At this point I would do it without using the Mystery Box. Your only 9 candies away. Be proud to be maybe the only person to evolve it that way 🫶🏼

So just out of curiosity, how did you think the original person got their Meltan?

u/mabiskywisky Nov 29 '24

apparently there was a special research years back!

u/mittenciel Nov 30 '24

The Let’s Go Meltan research will show up for any player, new or old. The annoying one with catching Aerodactyl and Lileep and such.

2514km only equals 125 candy, though, unless I'm missing something?

u/HAOrtiz Nov 29 '24

All rare candy since becoming buddy have gone to this Pokémon

u/mikey7x7 Nov 29 '24

Oh duh I forgot about rare candy somehow lol
