CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Meloetta sings melodies capable of changing its listeners' moods. Pokémon can feel joy or sadness under the influence of its voice, and humans find its tunes memorable enough to compose musical hits of their own. The Pokédex describes a song that acts on emotions as much as it inspires artists. Each encounter can thus leave a trace in memories or in music.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon White states that well-known songs have been composed based on Meloetta's tunes. Pokémon X explains that its melodies also influence Pokémon's emotions. Its power therefore reaches beyond immediate listening and continues through human works.
