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.

Legends: Z-A Meloetta Best Moveset

Timid nature gives Meloetta the fast special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs split the difference, and Psychic coverage punishes anything trying to wall it.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 11 types means almost nothing walls Meloetta cleanly, with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

How to Get Meloetta in Legends: Z-A

Meloetta is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

This is an event-exclusive or special distribution.

Meloetta Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Meloetta is a Mythical Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 600 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Psychic with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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 Legends: Z-A, 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 Legends: Z-A, 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.
