Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I. It is well-known for its distinctive coin-shaped charm on its forehead and its bipedal stance, often seen in urban environments or alongside human trainers. Meowth is unique among many Pokémon for its ability to learn to speak human languages, most famously exemplified by Jessie’s Meowth in the Pokémon anime, who serves as a recurring antagonist and comic relief. This particular Meowth is of the original Kanto variant, distinct from its Alolan and Galarian forms. In the games, Meowth typically evolves into Persian at level 28. Its Normal typing gives it a weakness to Fighting-type moves, while being resistant to Ghost-type moves. Meowth's lore often highlights its love for shiny objects and money, a trait that is central to its character and abilities, such as its signature move "Pay Day," which yields extra money after battle. Its presence in the anime and its unique personality have cemented Meowth as one of the most recognizable and beloved Pokémon, transcending its basic in-game utility to become a cultural icon.
