Pokédex notes
Meloetta is a Normal / Psychic-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0648. Legendaries shine in Master League and 5-star raids when IVs and moves align.
Where in GO: Legendary raids, research breakthroughs, and GO Tour events
Invest tip: Low Kick + Close Combat is the Fighting-leaning kit. Mythical candy is scarce. Shadow Meloetta (if available) needs Frustration removal first. Confirm Pirouette Forme typing when that form is live.
