Ash's Meltan is famous for being the first Mythical Pokémon Ash caught, but he actually made friends with another Mythical well before Meltan existed.
Ash meeting mythical Pokémon is usually reserved for the Pokémon movies, as their rarity makes an appearance a major event. However, Ash's travels in the main anime series have also brought him to meet many Mythical Pokémon since he caught Meltan in Alola. But, as important as that meeting ended up being, Meltan actually wasn't the first Mythical that Ash befriended in the main Pokémon anime series.
In the Black and White era of the anime, near the end of the first season, Ash encounters an unusual Pokémon at the PokéStar Studios lot, which he saves from a falling piece of wood. It vanishes before he can say anything to it, and Ash goes on about his day. However, the Pokémon is intrigued and begins following him, finally making its presence known at the start of the second season.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Meloetta's Mythical Performance Due to its presence in the anime series, Meloetta is one of the few Mythical Pokémon to not have a movie dedicated to it, unlike its fellow Unova Mythicals Victini, Genesect, and Keldeo, although Meloetta does appear in a Pikachu short that ran before the Keldeo movie in Japan.
Adding Meloetta to the group was certainly an interesting twist, and the episodes where Meloetta is around are automatically a bit more interesting due to its presence. While some may be disappointed Meloetta didn't get to star opposite Ash in a Pokémon film, Given Meloetta's pop-star look and theme, this was probably a much better use for the Mythical Pokémon.
