Pokémon Go: How to catch Meltan during the Pokémon TCG Crossover

Meltan is one of the few Mythical Pokémon that can be found, and there's a chance you'll come across it in Pokémon Go. It appears only a few times during the series, allowing you to collect it before evolving into its final form, Melmetal. During the Pokémon TCG Crossover event, you'll get another chance to catch one. Here's everything you need to know about catching Meltan during the Pokémon TCG Crossover in Pokémon Go.

How to catch Meltan in Pokémon TCG Crossover

Meltan will be found in this event in two different methods. The first is to complete the TCG Crossover: Advanced Collection Challenge, one of the event's several Collection Challenges. There are six in total, with the Advanced Collection being the only one in which a Meltan encounter can be earned. To accomplish the Advanced Collection Challenge, you must catch all of the Pokémon listed below.

• Trade a Venusaur
• Trade a Charizard
• Trade a Blastoise
• Catch a Snorlax
• Catch a Slaking
• Catch a Dragonite

Pokémon to trade and catch

The first half of the challenge entails finding other players in your neighborhood with whom to exchange Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, while the second half entails catching some of the more difficult Pokémon. You can catch Snorlax, Slaking, and Dragonite in your local region by performing Field Research jobs or three-star raids, although you may need the help of a companion to win those raids.

Mystery Box

Mystery Boxes are the second chance to encounter a Meltan during the Pokémon TCG Crossover. Sending a Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Home or a Pokémon from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! to Pokémon Home will get you a Mystery Box. Both encounters provide the opportunity to find a gleaming Meltan. The Pokémon TCG Crossover event will run from June 16 to 30, enabling you the remainder of the month to acquire several Meltan and earn more candy.
