Pokémon GO & TCG Crossover Event Brings Back Shiny Meltan
An upcoming crossover between Pokémon GO and the Pokémon Trading Card Game will give players the chance to catch a Shiny Meltan by transferring another Pokémon from Pokémon GO to one of the Nintendo Switch Pokémon games. Nintendo’s long-running monster-collecting franchise recently celebrated its 25th-anniversary last year, and spin-off media like Pokémon GO and the Pokémon Trading Card Game continue to showcase the many different titular creatures with special cards and in-game promotions. A crossover event between both these Pokémon properties was announced in May, with Pokémon TGC releasing a wave of new cards modeled after some of Pokémon GO’s most popular available Pokémon in July.
One of the many Pokémon species that will be included in this upcoming crossover promotion is Meltan, a liquid metal Steel-type that was first introduced in 2018’s Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! for the Nintendo Switch. Both Meltan and its evolved form Melmetal were brought into Pokémon GO that September ahead of their arrival on the Switch, and players would be given several chances to catch a Shiny variant of the rare and unique Meltan by collecting Mystery Boxes after transferring another Pokémon to the Pokémon Let's GO games. The Shiny Meltan required luck to obtain, and the chances to acquire the Mystery Boxes containing them have been few and far between — making the special variant of the already rare creature even more desirable to Pokémon GO players.
