Meloetta Weakness
Meloetta is weak to Bug and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Meloetta's special bulk (base 128 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Bug, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Psychic |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |

This is an event-exclusive or special distribution.
Meloetta Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Meloetta is a Mythical Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Relicsong with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, Meloetta's biggest threats include Scyther (Bug) and Hydreigon (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Meloetta has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Serene Grace is the go-to ability for Meloetta. It doubles the chance of moves' extra effects occurring. It's Meloetta's only ability.
In Black 2 & White 2, Meloetta fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 128 Sp. Atk. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
In Black 2 & White 2, the best way to handle Meloetta: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
Game Availability
As a Mythical Pokemon, Meloetta has limited availability — 8 games since its debut in Black & White. Typically obtained through special events or in-game quests rather than standard encounters.
