Meowth

Meowth is a feline Normal-type Pokémon that is commonly found in urban areas as well as the wild. Originally discovered in Kanto, it can be found in many parts of the world, although it has evolved quite differently in certain regions.

Pokédex Data
The Scratch Cat Pokémon Meowth can be recognised by its cream-white fur, brown hind-paws and tail-end, as well as the gold coin ornately carried on its forehead. Meowth is a wily creature that can move on all fours or just on its hind legs. It is attracted to shiny objects and can often be found prowling city streets at night looking for dropped change.

Alolan Variant
Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty. The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish and prideful Alolan Meowth. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. It also has great cunning. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth's fur is a light blue-gray colour. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears a whitish-gray shade. The Alolan Meowth's whiskers maintain a slight curve compared to regular Meowth's straighter whiskers, and it has silvery eyes.

Galarian Variant
Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Its coin is now black and extremely hard, with the hardest coins being especially valued. The darker the coin is, the more respect it gets from its peers. Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers.

Abilities

 * Scratch - Meowth attacks with its claws to inflict minor damage.
 * Fury Swipes - Meowth tackles its opponent and ruthlessly mauls them with multiple scratches.
 * Pay Day - Meowth uses coins it has collected as a weapon, throwing them at the opponent.
 * Feint - Meowth catches the enemy off-guard with this devious move.

Evolution
In most regions, Meowth evolves into Persian at Level 28.

The Alolan variant of Meowth only evolves once it has developed a strong bond of friendship with its Trainer.

The Galarian variant of Meowth evolves into Perrserker at Level 28.

Gigantimax
In Gigantamax form, Meowth has become larger and longer in size. The body extends from lower half to the shoulder, while the gold coin gains a symbol. Meowth's eyes change to a glowing gold color. The tail grows long as well, with the end of it tips extending. Three red clouds surround it below the shoulders. The giant coin emits a lot of Gigantamax power that surrounds the area with a golden gleam. Its desire for shiny objects increases to the point where it will cause damage to skyscraper windows and exterior walls for the sake of sharpening its claws.

Gigantamax Meowth is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Gold Rush.

Trivia

 * A talking Meowth appears in the Pokémon anime series as a main character.
