## Transcript

What if I told you this Pokémon throws the strongest punch in the world, and it's made out of its whole family?

Meet Melmetal.

It starts out as a tiny Pokémon shaped like a hex nut, with a body made of liquid metal. It melts little bits of iron out of the ground and soaks them up.

The little ones stick together in a group. 

And when the time comes, its Pokédex says, one strong one takes in all the others and evolves.

So every Melmetal is a whole family of little nuts that became one. 

In Pokémon GO, it takes four hundred candies to make a single one.

Long ago, people treated it like a legend, because it could make iron out of nothing. Then it showed up again after three thousand years, and nobody knows why.

Its arms are two giant hex nuts, and it swings them so hard that its Pokédex says it throws the strongest punches of any Pokémon. 

It's basically a hardware store that learned how to box.

But its Pokédex also says that when Melmetal gets very old, it rusts and falls apart. And the tiny pieces it leaves behind grow into brand-new little ones.

So its whole family built it. And at the very end, it gives every piece back to start a new one.

Maybe you got your strength from people who aren't around the way they used to be. 

Maybe every time you're strong, you're carrying a little piece of them.

Melmetal throws the strongest punch in the world, and every ounce of that strength came from its family.

Who did you get your strength from? Put their name in the comments or better yet TAG THEM! 

And if you haven't already please make sure to give us a follow so you NEVER miss one of our new videos.

Revered long ago for its capacity to create iron from nothing, for some reason it has come back to life after 3,000 years.
