While Pokemon: Let`s Go, Pikachu and Let`s Go, Eevee pare back the series` sprawling bestiary to only the original 151 monsters (plus their Alolan variants), players will be able to obtain one entirely new Pokemon in the games: the strange Mythical Pokemon Meltan. The Pokemon Company had previously teased that the way to acquire Meltan involved linking Let`s Go with Pokemon Go, but now we know exactly how you can get your hands on one.According to The Pokemon Company, the first step to getting Meltan is to send a Pokemon from the mobile game over to the Switch titles. After transferring a Gen 1 monster from Pokemon Go to Let`s Go, you`ll receive a special item called a Mystery Box in Pokemon Go. Unlike most other items you can get in the game, the Mystery Box is reusable; you`ll be able to activate it every so often, which in turn will give you a window of opportunity to capture Meltan in Pokemon Go. You`ll then be able to transfer the Mythical Pokemon over to the Let`s Go titles and add it to your collection there.`Meltan will begin to appear once a Mystery Box is opened in Pokemon Go, but be careful-they`ll only appear for the player that opened the Mystery Box,` The Pokemon Company says on its website. `Touch a Meltan you see on the field map, and then try to catch it with a Poke Ball!` Once the Mystery Box closes, you`ll need to wait a certain amount of time and then transfer another Pokemon to Let`s Go in order for it to open again.As previously mentioned, you`ll only be able to transfer the original 151 Pokemon--as well as their Alolan forms--from Pokemon Go to Let`s Go, and the process is a one-way transfer; any monsters you send to the Switch games cannot be returned to Pokemon Go. Those that you do transfer will end up in the Go Park, a new facility that replaces the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City. As we recently learned, the Go Park is made up of 20 parks, each of which can hold 50 Pokemon, so you can store up to 1,000 monsters in total at the facility.Th ...
