Zacian is also a major threat as it threatens both Melmetal and the Dragon- or Dark-type Pokemon that Melmetal likes to partner with. As time goes on, Niantic has started pushing farther and farther away from the Raid meta being the prime game-style of Pokemon Go in favor of PvP, but PvE still remains a very important aspect of the game. It also struggles heavily against Giratina-O, who simply deals much more damage to it thanks to Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball being very powerful moves. Melmetal's primary counters are Ground-types like Groudon and both formes of Landorus. Melmetal's excellent bulk and numerous resistances grants it a lot of freedom when it comes to overcharging, and can easily store charge moves while switching out to search for better targets to unleash them on. Although Melmetal may not exactly win some of these matchups, it can threaten Ho-Oh, Yveltal, Excadrill, Snorlax, and Zarude super effectively, allowing it to function as a check when combined with its spamminess.

However, unlike Registeel, Melmetal can hit Pokémon like Charizard and Gyarados for Super Effective damage with Rock Slide. It's a powerful Steel-type, often functioning like Budget Registeel. Melmetal is better in Ultra League than Great League. Other Pokémon can just do Melmetal better in open format. Still, though, the combination of Rock Slide and Superpower gives it solid coverage against relevant meta Pokémon. However, with the release of more and more powerful Steel-types, it has fallen out of favor. Pocket Supporter S Tier Alolan Ninetales Image Alolan Ninetales, S Rank Icon, Top.
