Alolan MeowthCosmic Eclipse #128 Pokémon Card

Alolan Meowth is a Dark-type Pokémon, a regional variant of the familiar Meowth, introduced in Generation VII with the Alola region. Unlike its Normal-type Kanto counterpart, Alolan Meowth is known for its sleek, dark blue-gray fur, narrower eyes, and a generally more cunning and mischievous demeanor. Its coin, typically gold in Kanto Meowth, is a duller, more elongated yellow oval in its Alolan form, which is said to be a symbol of its newfound Dark typing. In the Alola region, Meowth were originally introduced as gifts to royalty, leading them to become pampered and arrogant. This upbringing, combined with their natural cleverness, eventually led to their evolution into the Dark type. They are known to be quite impulsive, selfish, and fickle, often using their charm to get what they want from trainers who are willing to spoil them. Alolan Meowth evolves into Alolan Persian. In the games, Alolan Meowth can be found in various locations across the Alola region, often appearing in urban or residential areas, reflecting their history of being domesticated. Their Dark typing makes them effective against Psychic and Ghost types, while being vulnerable to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves. Their role in the anime often highlights their cunning nature and their tendency to be pampered.
