Melmetal Coloring Pages

Free Melmetal Coloring Pages: 17 printable PDF designs featuring this Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, from character portraits to cartoon and kid-friendly style. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Melmetal Coloring Pages feature a Steel-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, officially known as the Hex Nut Pokémon. Melmetal evolves from Meltan, but only after Meltan is fed 400 Meltan Candy in Pokémon GO, since this evolution cannot happen in the core series games. Its body is made of liquid metal with a muscular build, a golden hex nut for a head and neck, black hex nuts at its chest, shoulders, elbows, and feet, and a red cable-like tail. Melmetal is the heaviest known Mythical Pokémon and the only Mythical Pokémon that is both part of an evolutionary line and able to Gigantamax.

This collection groups its 17 designs into character portraits, cartoon and kid-friendly style, and line-art sketches, giving fans a range of designs to match any coloring session.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 17 Melmetal designs fall into three groups based on style.

Character Portraits

These pages show Melmetal in a standard standing pose, highlighting its hex nut head and muscular, metallic body. Color the main body in Crayola Silver or Gray, the head and chest hex nuts in Goldenrod or Yellow Orange, and the tail in Scarlet or Red.

Cartoon and Kid-Friendly Style

These pages give Melmetal a friendlier, more expressive look with simplified metal plating, ideal for younger colorists. A brighter, more uniform Silver works well here, since cartoon versions often simplify the liquid-metal shading of the official design.

Line-Art Sketches

These drawing-style pages emphasize clean linework over heavy shading, leaving room for colorists to decide how much shadow and highlight to add. Light layering with Silver and Timberwolf Gray works well for a soft, sketch-like finish.

What Melmetal Coloring Pages Do

Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. Melmetal’s hexagonal nut shapes and joint details give children practice with careful, controlled shading alongside larger, simpler fills like the main body.

Connecting to a favorite character. Melmetal is a well-known Mythical Pokémon among fans of Pokémon GO and Let’s Go, and coloring a familiar character gives children a rewarding, recognizable subject to work with, which can build confidence for tackling more detailed designs later.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Melmetal’s repeating hex nut shapes at its joints give colorists a steady, geometric detail to focus on, which can make the activity especially calming.

Learning about evolution and rare mechanics. Coloring Melmetal gives children a natural opening to talk about how it evolves from Meltan, and how this particular evolution stands out because it can only happen in Pokémon GO rather than in the main video games.

How to Color Melmetal Pages Well

• Main body: Base the muscular body in Crayola Silver or Gray, keeping the color even to suggest a solid, liquid-metal build.
• Hex nuts: Color the head, chest, and joint hex nuts in Goldenrod or Yellow Orange, since these golden accents are Melmetal’s most recognizable feature.
• Tail: Fill the cable-like tail in Scarlet or Red, using a thin, curving line to capture its flexible shape.
• Eye: Keep the small eye a simple Black dot, since Melmetal’s face stays minimal compared to its detailed body.
• Shading for depth: Add subtle, darker Gray shadows along the joints and hex nut edges to give the metallic body a sense of weight and dimension.
• Simple outline pages: Stick to two colors, Silver for the body and Goldenrod for the hex nuts, for a quick, clean result.
