===Physiology===
Meloetta is a distinctly feminine fairy-like Pokémon (though it is not a type) that possesses two forms. It has a large, round white head and a small black-cloaked body with tiny extremities. Its arms and legs are very slender and fragile-looking. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has green hair that resembles a musical bar. Its eyes are blue-green, along with the round jewel on its forehead. In its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun. It has red eyes that match the color of its hair. In either Forme, Meloetta's middle section and eyes match its hair color.
==Evolution==
Meloetta does not evolve. However, Meloetta has a second Forme activated by using the move Relic Song in battle. Its original Forme, Aria Forme, will then become the Normal/Fighting-type Pirouette Forme.

Meloetta made its anime debut in the special Pikachu short, which aired alongside the 15th Pokémon movie. Meloetta's other appearance was in "An Epic Defence Force". Meloetta was first pursued by Team Rocket in Virbank City. It was able to elude them but somehow made its way into the Pokéstar Studios where Ash had encountered it. After he saved it from a collapse of the falling billboards it stayed close behind him, following him to Virbank Gym.
==Other Appearances==

====Trophy Description====
NA: A Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon, Meloetta can change its Forme by using Relic Song. In Smash Bros., Meloetta appears in its Aria Forme, using an attack called Echoed Voice to send waves of sound bouncing around the stage. The more walls and platforms, the harder this is to avoid.
PAL: This Normal- and Psychic-type Pokémon has the ability to change Forme mid-battle by using Relic Song. Appearing this game in its Aria Forme, it uses Echoed Voice to send echoes shooting up and down the stage, reflecting off walls and platforms. The more obstacles there are on a stage, the harder it is to avoid!
==Trivia==
*In Super Smash Bros., Meloetta is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Echoed Voice.
*Meloetta in its Pirouette Forme is the lightest type Pokémon.
*Meloetta was given out to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, players from December 1 to 24, 2016 to celebrate the Pokémon 20th Anniversary.
===Origin===
In its Aria Forme, Meloetta is likely based on the Muses, the Greek goddesses of art, music, and poetry. It also takes inspiration from music itself such as its headpiece that resembles a treble clef, its hair resembling staff and bar lines, and its arms resembling quarter notes (or, if paired with the stripe alongside its body, could make them resemble an eighth note). Its headpiece also resembles a microphone headset, possibly making it based on idol singers.
In its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta resembles a ballerina and a flamenco dancer.
The red shoes mentioned in the history is a reference to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Red Shoes.
===Etymology===
Meloetta comes from melody, pirouette, and -etta (a common suffix in feminine names meaning "little").
