Why Melmetal?
Melmetal offers a one-of-a-kind gameplay, fusing early-game aggression with long-term defensive maneuvers. Its Hard Coat reduces incoming damage by 20 points, ensuring better survival odds. Paired with healing cards like Potion and Pokémon such as Butterfree, it becomes a formidable foe. Evolving rapidly from Meltan, it enables early setup without compromising deck space. And with Heavy Impact dealing a hefty 120 damage for three Metal Energy and one Colorless Energy, it packs a punch.

How to Dominate with the Melmetal Deck:
- Meltan and Caterpie First:
Employ Find a Friend from Caterpie to hunt for Metapod or Butterfree. When Meltan is active, use Amass to speed up energy attachment. - Defensive Tactics:
In the early stages, Kangaskhan serves as a delaying Pokémon with moderate damage. Use Sabrina to disrupt opponents' setups when they gain an edge. - Evolve for Success:
Ensure Butterfree is healing your Pokémon and Melmetal is unleashing destruction by mid-game. Butterfree's Powder Heal keeps Melmetal in the fight. - Smart Support Card Usage:
Giovanni gives Melmetal the extra boost to topple tough opponents. Maximize Professor’s Research for card draw and consistency. - Sustain Pressure:
Utilize Heavy Impact to score knockouts while Butterfree provides healing backup. - Tactical Brilliance:
- Healing Synergy: Leverage Butterfree’s Powder Heal each turn to nullify Melmetal's damage, maintaining pressure.
- Energy Management: As most attacks are low energy cost, attach energy to backups like Metapod or Kangaskhan.
- Disruption: Sabrina is a game-changer against specific setup decks, forcing opponents' hands.
- Timing Giovanni: Deploy Giovanni when Melmetal needs that extra damage for a crucial KO.
