Meet the new Pokemon Meltan

At the conclusion of this past weekend's Pokemon GO Community Day featuring Chikorita, player's began to notice something strange appearing within the game. A strange Pokemon began appearing with the body of a silver Ditto and the head of a golden hex nut. However, upon catching this strange being it would turn into either a Ditto or a Chikorita for whatever reason. Speculation began to arise that it was either a place holder for the not-yet-released generation three Pokemon Kecleon, or a brand new Pokemon altogether to help promote Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee. It turns out the latter was correct.

Meet Meltan. Not much is known about Meltan yet other than it's a steel-type Pokemon and is apparently considered a mythical Pokemon. Compared to other mythical Pokemon such as Mew and Celebi, Meltan seems a little underwhelming.  What's more is that, in the video below, Professor Willow is sending Professor Oak a Ditto...or rather what the Ditto transformed into. Could this be a new ability for Ditto, or could Ditto actually have an evolution of sorts? Honestly given that it could be classified as mythical I doubt it's an actual evolution, but we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out more about Meltan.
