Strategy Overview
Meltan has terrible stats across the board and an extremely lackluster movepool. While Meltan can trap Klinklang and remove it, it fails at doing anything else, meaning it is not worth using over any other Klinklang counter such as Palossand, Qwilfish, and Rapidash. These Pokemon can be useful even when the opponent doesn't have Klinklang, and they fulfill more roles.
