Meloetta is a Pokemon with two different forms, and each of these forms has a different type. Meloetta's more common Aria form is a Normal and Psychic-type while Meloetta's Pirouette form is a Normal and Fighting-type. However, Meloetta's Piroutte form is currently unavailable for use in Pokemon GO, despite being in the game's files. The only currently usable form of Meloetta is its Normal and Psychic-type form which is only weak to Dark and Bug-type attacks while resisting Ghost and other Psychic-type attacks.

Meloetta has incredibly high, well-rounded stats in Pokemon GO. Its high Attack of 250 and its Defense and Stamina both at 225 make it great for attacking as well as defending. This gives Meloetta a wide variety of uses, from the Battle League to defending Gyms. Given Meloetta's low amount of weaknesses, there are few situations it is not suited for.
