Read more ↓Meowth is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its iconic coin on its forehead and its insatiable desire for shiny objects. As a feline Pokémon, Meowth typically inhabits urban environments and human settlements, often found rummaging through garbage or lurking in alleys in search of dropped loose change. Its diet is varied, but it has a particular fondness for circular, reflective items, which it often hoards. Meowth is perhaps most famous for its role in the Pokémon anime as part of Team Rocket, where it gained the unique ability to speak human language, setting it apart from nearly all other Pokémon. This articulate Meowth, alongside Jessie and James, provides comic relief and frequently attempts to steal Ash's Pikachu. Meowth evolves into Persian when it reaches Level 28. In the games, Meowth's signature move, Pay Day, allows it to generate extra money after battles, making it a popular choice for players looking to earn in-game currency. Its Normal typing gives it a single weakness to Fighting-type moves, but it is resistant to Ghost-type attacks. Meowth's cunning and mischievous personality have cemented its place as a beloved and memorable Pokémon across all media.
