# Meltan #188/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Meltan is a Mythical tied to Pokémon GO and Let's Go, and its little hex-nut charm has kept a devoted following, especially among players who hunted it through the mystery box. Here it sits as a Fusion Strike common with Teeziro's illustration, so demand is affection, not scarcity. A $0.11 modelled guide, down 8% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 4,364 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.10 out of Temporal Forces.
