Meloetta’s unique form-changing mechanic in Pokémon GO has intrigued many trainers since its debut. Let me walk you through exactly how this special Mythical Pokémon works and what you need to know about switching between its forms.
Understanding Meloetta’s Forms
First things first – Meloetta has two distinct forms: Aria Forme (Normal/Psychic) and Pirouette Forme (Normal/Fighting). While in the main series games, Meloetta could change forms by using the move Relic Song, things work a bit differently in Pokémon GO.
Here’s the catch though – currently in Pokémon GO, you can’t actually change Meloetta’s form at will. When it was first released during the 2021 GO Fest, Meloetta was only available in its Aria Forme, and this remains the only form available in the game for now.
Why Can’t We Change Forms?
I know this might be disappointing for many trainers hoping to experience both forms of this melodious Pokémon. The limitation is similar to how some other Pokémon with form changes were initially implemented in the game. Think of how Giratina’s forms were released separately, or how Deoxys’s forms were rolled out over time.
Future Possibilities
While we can’t change Meloetta’s form right now, there’s always hope for the future. Niantic has a history of eventually implementing form changes for Pokémon that have this ability in the main series games. We’ve seen this with:
– Giratina getting its Origin Forme
– Hoopa’s form change mechanic
– Deoxys’s various forms becoming available
Tips for Meloetta Owners
If you’re lucky enough to have a Meloetta in your collection, here’s what you can do for now:
1. Power up your Aria Forme Meloetta for its current utility
2. Save some candy in case form changing becomes available
3. Keep an eye on Pokémon GO news for any updates about Pirouette Forme
Remember, even though we can’t change forms yet, Aria Forme Meloetta is still a valuable addition to your collection. It’s a powerful attacker with a unique typing combination that makes it useful in various battle scenarios.
What to Expect
Based on how Niantic has handled similar situations, we might see Pirouette Forme Meloetta introduced during a future event, possibly with a special research task or as part of another GO Fest celebration. When that happens, I’ll make sure to update this guide with the exact steps needed to change forms.
For now, the best approach is to enjoy your Aria Forme Meloetta and stay tuned for future updates. The Pokémon GO community is always the first to spot new features and changes, so keep an eye on official announcements and community discussions.
