What is the Mystery Box in Pokemon Go?
In Pokemon Go, players have the opportunity to acquire the Mystery Box, which functions similarly to an Incense. However, unlike the Incense which attracts various Pokemon, the Mystery Box exclusively lures Meltan. This feature is somewhat akin to the recently-introduced Coin Bag featuring Gimmighoul.
Make the most of the activated Mystery Box as it will attract Meltan for 60 minutes. Remember, it has a three-day cooldown period.
The Mystery Box is like an Incense focused only on Meltan.How to get the Mystery Box in Pokemon Go
If you haven’t transferred any of your Pokemon from the mobile game to Pokemon Home or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu/Eevee yet, don’t worry! By doing so, you can obtain the Mystery Box in Pokemon Go.
To transfer a Pokemon to Pokemon Home, begin by downloading the app on your mobile device. It is not necessary to purchase a premium plan in order to transfer Pokemon and receive the Mystery Box. After installing the app, proceed with the following steps:
- To begin, launch Pokemon Go and simply tap the Poke Ball located at the bottom.
- Click on the Settings option located in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click on ‘Connected Devices and Services’.
- Tap ‘Pokemon Home’.
- Please use the identical Nintendo Account that was used to establish Pokemon Home for signing in.

How to catch Meltan in Pokemon Go
To obtain Meltan in Pokemon Go, the Mystery Box is the exclusive method. Once acquired in your Item Bag, simply open it to initiate a spawning session of Meltan for 60 minutes. Utilize this time to catch as many Meltan as possible before the duration elapses.
Players must wait for 60 minutes to pass before they can use the Mystery Box again. However, during certain special events, this cooldown period is shortened. Once the cooldown time is completed, players must transfer another Pokemon in order to have a fresh opportunity to catch Meltan.
To evolve Meltan into Melmetal, you’ll need 400 Candy. To maximize your Candy earnings, remember to use Pinap berries while catching Meltan. Additionally, setting Meltan as your Buddy can greatly assist in accumulating Candy.
Can Meltan be shiny in Pokemon Go?
Be on the lookout for news and announcements as Shiny Meltan, a special variant, can only be found in Pokemon Go during specific events.
