Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Melanyan are born with many small spots, which grow in size as the Pokémon ages. The one bright white spot on their foreheads becomes dim when they are near evolution.

Melanyan's silky, spotted coat makes for a highly sought-after pet, but in practice they're hard to catch and hard to please. They disappear from their homes for a while after eclipses.

Name Origin
