Meloetta is a Normal/Psychic-type Melody Pokemon introduced in generation 5 of the mainline series, Pokemon Black and Pokemon White for the DS. When Scarlet and Violet came out, there was no way to catch Meloetta in the wild, but thanks to the addition of The Indigo Disk DLC, you can now catch the form-changing Mythical Pokemon inside Blueberry Academy’s Terarium; however, the process to encounter it is quite specific and takes a few steps to accomplish. Thankfully, players can catch Meloetta in The Indigo Disk without completing the main storyline.
The Argument For and Against Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to Get The Black and White Treatment
There are good reasons for Scarlet and Violet to get the same treatment as Pokemon Generation 5 games, and there are also reasons why they shouldn’t.
How to Catch Meloetta in The Indigo Disk DLC
You can catch Meloetta in the Coastal Biome in a field not too far east of the Coastal Outdoor Classroom and west of the Coastal Rest Area. We’ll put up a video below of where to find Meloetta’s location.
In this field, you’ll see several plants that are a few inches taller than the player character. If you go close to the one in the screenshot below, you’ll start to see leaves and the breeze swirling around clockwise.
To make Meloetta appear in this spot, follow these steps:
- Move your control stick around clockwise until your character begins to stand on one leg and starts spinning. Do this for about 10 seconds.
- After that, bust out the camera with a tap of the down button on the d-pad.
- Press the left d-pad button five times to change the filter to Sepia.
- After, listen for a few seconds until the music begins to change.
- Get out of the camera mode, and Melotetta will spawn nearby, waiting for a battle.
Obviously, this method for discovering Meloetta is very specific. We didn’t find this out on our own, so we need to credit the Pokemon community. Hsinhsung9487 on Twitter attributes the findings to a code-cracking server founded by soulsilverart and palkiaorigin, but apparently, the actual discovery was made by an anonymous user on 4chan. Either way, we want to be transparent and give credit where it’s due.
How to Change Meloetta’s Form
Meloetta has two different forms it can switch to. Its Aria form is its normal form with the green coloring, but it can change into Pirouette form (orange coloring) using a move called Relic Song. In Aria form, Meloetta is a Normal/Psychic-type, but in the other form, it turns into a Normal/Fighting-type Pokemon. Meloetta will return to Aria form once a battle ends.
