This is often the case with Legendary Pok\u00e9mon or Mythical Pok\u00e9mon like Rayquaza or Melmetal, who might only appear during special events or can only be obtained via unique methods. Some Pok\u00e9mon might even require a special item, like the Mystery Box. But what exactly is the Mystery Box? And how do you use it? What is the Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go? The Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go is an essential item for catching the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon Meltan and its evolution, Melmetal. By activating the box, Meltan will appear with the opportunity to catch it. This is the only current way to get Meltan in Pok\u00e9mon Go. How to use the Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go This special box can be obtained by connecting Pok\u00e9mon Go to the following Pok\u00e9mon titles: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!, Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!, and Pok\u00e9mon Home. Once connected, you will need to send one Pok\u00e9mon from Go to one of the other games listed. This will earn you the Mystery Box. Now that you have the box, you can activate it one time to make Meltan temporarily appear in the wild. After the time is up, there\u2019s a three-day cooldown period before you can open the Mystery Box again. You\u2019ll also have to transfer another Pok\u00e9mon to one of the other games like you did the first time. The wait might feel long, but it\u2019s definitely worth it if you\u2019re working toward completing the Pok\u00e9dex or want the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon in your possession. You should also be on the lookout for certain events that give the Mystery Box some good buffs. During the Let\u2019s Go event, for example, the cooldown period for activating the Mystery Box was reduced to give players more opportunities to use it and encounter Meltan. It also boosted the chances of finding XXS and XXL Meltan during that time.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Meltan-Mystery-Box.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=837183"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":837456,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183\/revisions\/837456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=837183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

This is often the case with Legendary Pok\u00e9mon or Mythical Pok\u00e9mon like Rayquaza or Melmetal, who might only appear during special events or can only be obtained via unique methods. Some Pok\u00e9mon might even require a special item, like the Mystery Box. But what exactly is the Mystery Box? And how do you use it? What is the Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go? The Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go is an essential item for catching the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon Meltan and its evolution, Melmetal. By activating the box, Meltan will appear with the opportunity to catch it. This is the only current way to get Meltan in Pok\u00e9mon Go. How to use the Mystery Box in Pok\u00e9mon Go This special box can be obtained by connecting Pok\u00e9mon Go to the following Pok\u00e9mon titles: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!, Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!, and Pok\u00e9mon Home. Once connected, you will need to send one Pok\u00e9mon from Go to one of the other games listed. This will earn you the Mystery Box. Now that you have the box, you can activate it one time to make Meltan temporarily appear in the wild. After the time is up, there\u2019s a three-day cooldown period before you can open the Mystery Box again. You\u2019ll also have to transfer another Pok\u00e9mon to one of the other games like you did the first time. The wait might feel long, but it\u2019s definitely worth it if you\u2019re working toward completing the Pok\u00e9dex or want the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon in your possession. You should also be on the lookout for certain events that give the Mystery Box some good buffs. During the Let\u2019s Go event, for example, the cooldown period for activating the Mystery Box was reduced to give players more opportunities to use it and encounter Meltan. It also boosted the chances of finding XXS and XXL Meltan during that time.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Meltan-Mystery-Box.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=837183"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":837456,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837183\/revisions\/837456"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/837188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=837183"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=837183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
