MeowthAncient Origins #61 Pokémon Card

Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is well-known as the feline companion of Team Rocket's Jessie and James in the Pokémon anime, making it one of the most recognizable Pokémon from the original 151. Meowth is unique for its ability to learn to speak human language, a trait typically reserved for Psychic-type Pokémon, which adds to its distinct cultural significance. It evolves into Persian starting at level 28. In the wild, Meowth are nocturnal creatures, often found in urban environments where they can easily scavenge for food and shiny objects. Their diet primarily consists of scraps found in cities, but they are also skilled hunters of small prey. Meowth are notoriously attracted to glistening items, especially coins, which they collect and hoard. This fascination with money is a recurring theme in its portrayal across various Pokémon media. Its adaptability and mischievous nature have cemented its place as a fan favorite, often depicted as clever and resourceful, even if prone to trouble.
