A Pokemon Go player has given their advice for mass-spawning Meltan in the pursuit of a hundo that can be used for battling Team Rocket or other players.

In Pokemon Go, players are often hunting for hundo versions of Pokemon. In short, these are Pokemon with perfect or near-perfect stats, making them ideal for battles, should you wish to engage with that part of the game.

While users on Pokemon Go social media accounts love to flaunt their hundos, the chances of catching or hatching one are slim. Players can waste hundreds of hours trying to get one, to say nothing of shundos (Shiny hundos) or hundo Shadow Pokemon.

The people who want to acquire a hundo Pokemon for combat purposes have an efficient method by spawning one creature repeatedly. This involves using Pokemon Go with Pokemon Home and doesn’t require a paid subscription to the service.

Pokemon Go players can use Mystery Boxes for hundo hunting

A user on the Pokemon Go Reddit haa explained their method for using Mystery Boxes to acquire a hundo. A Mystery Box is an item you can acquire every three days by sending a Pokemon from Pokemon Go to Pokemon Home. Once opened, it spawns tons of Meltan in the area around you.

The fact that Meltan has such a reliable summoning method means you have the tools necessary for spawning a hundo, as well as acquiring the ridiculous amount of Meltan Candy you need to evolve it into Melmetal.

Not only than, but having access to so many Mythical Pokemon means you have a steady source of Stardust and XP.

“Also the perfect way to get one (or more) ‘mons leveled to 50 for the level 47 trainer task,” one user commented, referring to the notoriously frustrating challenge players need to complete to hit the higher levels in Pokemon Go.

The only problem with this trick is that it cannot be used to acquire a Shiny Meltan, as these are restricted to events. This means the Mystery Box trick cannot be used to spawn shundo Meltan, no matter how many you create.

The Mystery Box trick is one of the best farming methods available for Pokemon Go players, especially during downtime between big events, where not much is happening in the game. You can use this method to breed the perfect Meltan/Melmetal to carry you through the toughest fights in the game.
