Meltan is card #179 of Temporal Forces (2024), a Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Masa.
Meltan appears in 10 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Temporal Forces (2024) #179 card is the most recent of 10 printings (2017–2024). Masa only illustrated this Temporal Forces version; other printings credit Sumiyoshi Kizuki, Kouki Saitou, Shin Nagasawa. Other Meltan printings sit at Common, Promo rarity tiers, so this Illustration Rare Temporal Forces card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 80 HP, while other Meltan cards in the catalogue range from 60 to 80 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Meltan hub page.
HP: 80 · Type: Metal · Weakness: Fire ×2 · Resistance: Grass -30 · Retreat cost: 3 energy · Evolves into: Melmetal
“It dissolves and eats metal. Circulating liquid metal within its body is how it generates energy.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #808
The 1 in 396 pull chance is calculated from the Temporal Forces rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Meltan Temporal Forces #179 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $6.97 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 10 Pack Dust from the Temporal Forces dust pool, which fills as you open Temporal Forces packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Meltan or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
