Meloetta (Japanese: メロエッタ Meloetta) is a dual-type Normal/Psychic Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, Meloetta has two forms: its default form, Aria Forme, and a second form, the Normal/Fighting-type Pirouette Forme. Meloetta changes forms when it uses the move Relic Song during a battle and reverts to Aria Forme when switched out or when the battle ends.
Meloetta was leaked on a poster for the fifteenth Pokémon movie, Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, on February 26, 2012, and was officially revealed by Oha Suta on March 1, 2012.
In the anime, it is associated with the forces of nature.
Biology
Meloetta is a Pokémon that has a femininely anthropomorphic figure with musical bar-style streaks in its hair, quarter notes (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling whole notes (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a treble clef, which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be a third of its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In both forms, its midriff and eyes match its hair. It is a gender-unknown species.
According to artists in Unova, Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers. Meloetta's melody has a special vocalization method. Meloetta's melody can control the feelings of those who hear it. It can make both humans and Pokémon feel happy or sad through this method. The song can also unseal ancient ruins such as the Abyssal Ruins At one point, Meloetta can lose its signature melody and ability to dance should the world be filled with sorrow. Meloetta is capable of flying. Like many other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta is capable of temporarily turning invisible. Meloetta's song can be channeled to summon and control the original three forces of nature Pokémon in connection with the Reveal Glass. However, this process can cause Meloetta agonizing pain in the process.
Forms
Meloetta has two forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Meloetta is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Relic Song, which allows it to change forms. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs, while in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances.

After sneaking aboard the Battle Subway train, Meloetta found its way to Café Sonata, only to be attacked by a group of wild Vullaby. After finding out what happened, White protected Meloetta while Bianca decided to take a guitar and play with Meloetta in place of the Guitarist who was injured in the chaos.

Trivia
- Meloetta was leaked on a poster for Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice during the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
- The effort value yields of each of Meloetta's forms—1 Special Attack, 1 Special Defense, and 1 Speed in Aria Forme and 1 Attack, 1 Defense, and 1 Speed in Pirouette Forme—are both unique.
- Meloetta is also the only Pokémon to have more than one unique effort value yield.
- Meloetta is programmed to always hold a Star Piece when encountered in the wild in Pokémon Black and White. However, Meloetta cannot be found in the wild in those games.
Origin
Meloetta may be based on a muse, a goddess in Greek mythology with the ability to inspire artistic creation. Meloetta may also be seen as a personification of music since its design has multiple references to musical notation: its headpiece resembles a stylized treble clef, its fingerless hands and slim arms are shaped after musical notes, and its hair resembles staff lines with bar lines.
Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer, with the black headpiece resembling a headset microphone.
Meloetta's Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu, with its "hair" curled up in a bun, or possibly the headdress worn by Nefertiti in her namesake sculpture. This form may also take inspiration from Spanish Flamenco dancers.
Its transformation between forms, particularly in the anime, is reminiscent of a magical girl.
The guitarist who teaches Meloetta Relic Song in the Generation V games mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Red Shoes.
Name origin
Meloetta may be a combination of melody, pirouette (a type of movement in ballet), operetta, and the Italian feminine diminutive suffix -etta.
Aria is a term now used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice usually with orchestral accompaniment, and is commonly used in opera.
A pirouette (French for to whirl) is a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women).
