More informationThe following chart shows Melmetal's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Melmetal's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.
Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Melmetal has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).
PvE AnalysisThunder Shock Double Iron Bash *The Mythical Melmetal is into bulk more than offense, sporting high HP and decent ATK. However, it's immediately limited in usage by the fact that it doesn't learn any of the Steel-type Fast Moves in Pokémon GO. As such, it is stuck with Thunder Shock and its signature Double Iron Bash.
In this predicament, Melmetal dishes out even lower DPS than regular Dialga in Raids. For further context, even the non-Legendary Tinkaton inflicts higher damage than Melmetal in Raid battles, and the pink Fairy can also potentially learn Steel-type Fast Moves in the future, making the gap between them larger.
There are way stronger options in the Steel meta, so you're better off investing in those, especially when Melmetal has already reached its utmost potential in Pokémon GO.
Melmetal enjoys the unique distinction (along with Meltan) of being the only Mythical to be eligible in Gyms. In this environment, it's actually quite good, thanks to its impressive bulk and 11 resistances.
PvP AnalysisThunder Shock Double Iron Bash Dynamic Punch Thunder Shock Double Iron Bash Dynamic Punch Thunder Shock Double Iron Bash Dynamic Punch Melmetal was once a signature PvP Pokémon, renowned for viability across all three Leagues. But over the ages, its usage has taken a nosedive, and Melmetal is now mostly a troublemaker for the opposition that often torments, but not necessarily beats them.
With the Double Iron Bash and Superpower moveset duo, Melmetal's natural bulk, and numerous resistances, it takes out Pokémon it has advantage over, either via super-effective coverage (mainly Fairy, Ice, Rock, Normal, and Dark, including Azumarill) or through resistance (Cresselia, Furret, Lickilicky, and Shadow Drapion).
However, if you take the classic moveset of Rock Slide and Superpower, the very moves that made Melmetal famous, it also nails Flyers such as Talonflame. This also helps Melmetal claim Bug types like Charjabug and regular Forretress.
Regardless of the moveset you go with, no matter what the combination is among Double Iron Bash, Superpower, and Rock Slide, Melmetal is quite disruptive in the Ultra League, and almost as good as its former self. The coverage it gets with a wide variety of moves, the spam from a bulky behemoth, and its many resistances help shape a Pokémon that puts immense pressure on the opponent even in unfavorable matchups.
The best part is that Melmetal performs well in any role, and in any shield situation. While not top-tier, Melmetal is undoubtedly a menace in the Ultra League format.
To be honest, the biggest lost legacy for Melmetal is the Master League. What was once a common sight among top players and a staple even for those trying to climb Ranks, Melmetal is now one of the less impressive Steel types in this meta. A classic example is Metagross, who received new and better Fast Moves, or Excadrill with buffed Mud-Slap. Even more so, the addition of Dusk Mane Necrozma, the Crowned duo of Zacian and Zamazenta, and the dominance of Dialga have forced other Steel Pokémon to step up their game.
So Melmetal hasn't necessarily got worse in the course of time, the Master League just received stronger monsters or upgraded the oldies.
All this doesn't imply that Melmetal is unviable. It can still be instrumental in helping players win matches or change the course of a match, but it's simply no longer as good as it once was.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
