Melmetal GX (SM178) is a promotional Pokémon-GX card from the Sun & Moon series, released as part of the SM Black Star Promos in 2019. This Metal-type Stage 1 Pokémon evolves from Meltan and features 220 HP, with the Ability "Hard Coat," which reduces damage from attacks by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Illustrated by PLANETA Otani, the card showcases Melmetal in a bold, metallic design that highlights its massive, molten form.
Its attacks include "Metal Blast," which deals 110+ damage—increasing by 20 for each Metal Energy attached—and the powerful GX attack "Iron Force-GX," allowing the player to attach any number of Metal Energy cards from their discard pile to Melmetal. With a retreat cost of four Colorless Energy and weaknesses to Fire and resistance to Psychic, the card balances high durability with strategic energy management.
Distributed as a promo, Melmetal GX (SM178) is not legal in Standard format but is permitted in Expanded. It remains popular among collectors and players for its thematic connection to Meltan’s evolution and its utility in Metal-type decks.
