What is Pokemon Home

Pokemon Home is basically a Cloud service, where your Pokemon from all the other (compatible) Pokemon games can gather. It is available for Nintendo Switch, and other compatible mobile devices. The idea of being able to gather all the favorite Pokemon came up in Pokémon Silver and Gold with the Time Capsule, which evolved into the Pokemon Bank later. Pokemon Home is simply an newer and better Pokemon Bank, which is compatible with a variety of games icnluding Pokemon Go and the Nintendo switch games (such as Sword and Shield).

However there are some limitations on which Pokemon you can transfer to Pokemon Home. Another thing to be kept in mind is that once you transfer a Pokemon to Pokemon Home, you cannot get it back in Pokemon Go. The transferred Pokemon will be added to the National Pokedex, and this is where you can view all your transferred Pokemon from various Pokemon games.

What is Mystery Box in Pokemon Go

The Mystery Box is a special item available in Pokemon Go, which when opened, causes Meltan to appear in the wild for a certain duration of time. It works almost similarly to an Incense; the differences being it can attract only one Pokemon and has a cooldown of several days. Once opened, the mythical Pokemon spawns in the wild, with an average rate of 1 in every 1.5 minutes. When the time runs out, Meltan stops spawning and the box needs to be recharged. Mystery Box has a cooldown of 3 days, and once it’s over you can recharge it by transferring a Pokemon to Pokemon Home. We shall be discussing more of it below.

Meltan and Melmetal PvP Analysis in Pokemon Go

Meltan is a mythical Steel-type Pokemon with a very limited avaibility. It has the honour of being the first Pokemon from the main series to be featured in Pokemon Go, and the first mythic to debut outside of the main series. It is also the only mythical Pokemon that can traded and used as Gym defender. Earlier, the Pokemon Go players could only obtain a Meltan by either linking their account to Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee orLet’s Go Pikachu, or by completing the Special Research quest, ‘Let’s go, Meltan’. Not only did this quest grant only one Meltan, but was one of the toughest in game. But now, with the integration of Pokemon Home to Pokwmon Go, players can get a Mystery box full of Meltan that can be used a number of times, with a cooldown of just 3 days.

Melmetal, the evolved form of Meltan, can only be evolved in Pokemon Go. It boasts of a very high max CP of 3599, that allows it to perform quite well in the Go Battle leagues. In fact, it ranks 2nd in the Master League (according to PvPoke). While Melmetal lacks it’s signature moves, Thunder shock is an excellent fast-energy generating Fast move that can pressurize the opponents to use up their shields. Talking about the Great League, Melmetal sees a somewhat low ranking owing to the avaibility of a number of counters in the form of Whiscash, Medicham and more. In the Ultra League, Melmetal can take down the top picks such as Lugia, Cressilia and other Dragon-types making it a viable option for your team. However, it shines the best in the Master League. With no CP cap, it can flex it’s max CP of 3599 and moves that complement it’s typeing. Superpower and Rock Slide are your go to moves, for it offers coverage against other Steel and Flying-types, including Dialga and Togekiss.
