Just a few days after it was first spotted, the Official Pokemon YouTube channel has released a short cinematic that hints at the true nature of the mysterious Pokemon and possibly offer up some clues about its true nature. For now, the Pokemon that Pokemon GO players have been catching was just a Ditto disguised as a never before seen mythical creature called Meltan.
Here’s a look at the call between Professors Willow and Oak where the reveal was made…
In addition to the other interesting details about the brand new Pokemon, it seems that although it will make its debut in Let’s Go, Pokemon GO will also play a role in unlocking the new Steel-type…
Name: Meltan
Category: Hex Nut Pokémon
Height: 0’08”

What exactly that means likely won’t be revealed until we get our hands on the upcoming Switch game. Be sure to check back for more intel and guides in the coming weeks and months. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
