Pokémon GO Players Try to Figure Out What a Meltan Is

Over the weekend, Pokémon GO players started seeing a brand new Pokémon appear in the wild and it came with a confusing bit of stats and effects. The creature, now known as Meltan from Niantic, is a curious creature with a bolt for a head and a single floating eye in the middle, with the body of a white-shaded Psyduck and a tail that looks like a stripped wire. By all accounts, this looks like a creature that didn't get finished in the design phase. But it's currently roaming around the world right now as a catchable creature with unknown stats and abilities that you can't use in battle. The company posted a new video today showing it off, now if they'll just tell us what this is all building to, we'll be good.
