Melanisitic Hunting, also known as Melan Hunting, is the act of Albino and Shiny Hunting a specific Pokémon by hatching the same type of Egg repeatedly to get a Melanistic Pokémon.
A user needs a powered up Albino Radar and a PokéRadar in order to Melanistic Hunt a specific Pokémon. The various boosts that a user receives from both Albino and Shiny Hunting are also used to help boost Melanistic Hunting since a Melanistic Pokémon hatches as both Shiny and Albino.
- Note: Melanistic Pokemon are rare to hatch which means that Melanistic Hunting takes a lot of time and patience.
Amulets
- Note: Users receive these Amulets as a reward for reaching a certain Rank.
The 
Gold and 
Silver Amulets yields a +25% and +33.3% increase to shiny and albino chances respectively. This combines multiplicatively into a +66.6% Melanistic chance.
The 
Cobalt Amulet activates the Long Chain Bonus once a user reaches a Chain of 100 hatches. Users must maintain Arceus Rank or higher to continue to use the Cobalt Amulet. The Cobalt Amulet maxes out at +75% after 5k egg hatches, making a multiplicative total of +191.6% boost.
Übercharms
An Übercharm
boosts the chance of hatching a Melanistic Pokémon by 6x and lasts for 28 days. In return, it costs 
250 and disappears completely after the effect wears off.
