Description
Meltan 102/142 from the 2024 Scarlet & Violet Stellar Crown expansion is a Common Reverse Holo featuring the mysterious Steel‑type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. Stellar Crown continues the SV‑era foil style, giving Meltan a reflective reverse holo background that enhances binder presentation and adds visual depth to the card.
The artwork showcases Meltan’s signature liquid‑metal body and hex‑nut head, with crisp SV‑block formatting and clean linework. Reverse Holos in Stellar Crown use a smooth reflective foil across the card background while keeping the artwork non‑holo, making them ideal for collectors building full reverse holo sets.
Collectors target Meltan 102/142 for set completion, Steel‑type binder pages, and SV‑block reverse holo collections. Meltan also has strong long‑term collector appeal due to its Mythical status.
