Read more ↓Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is well-known for its love of shiny objects, particularly coins, and is the only Pokémon besides Persian that can learn the move "Pay Day," which yields extra money after battle. Meowth evolves into Persian starting at level 28. In the anime, Meowth is famously a member of Team Rocket, often serving as a translator for its human companions, Jessie and James, and displaying cunning and human-like intelligence. This particular Meowth is depicted walking on what appears to be a cobblestone path, showcasing its playful and agile nature. Its natural habitat often includes urban areas where it can easily find discarded items or opportunities to pilfer. Meowth's distinct coin on its forehead is a central part of its design and lore, symbolizing its affinity for wealth. Its type matchup means it is vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks but resistant to Ghost-type moves, which have no effect. Meowth's role in the games often involves being an early-game Normal-type available to players, providing utility with moves like "Pay Day" for accumulating in-game currency. Its cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, becoming an iconic mascot for the franchise due to its frequent appearances and unique personality.
