Dex Entries

Kantonian Meowth
Meowth withdraw their sharp claws into their paws to silently sneak about. For some reason, this Pokémon loves shiny coins that glitter with light.
Alolan Meowth
When its delicate pride is wounded, or when the gold coin on its forehead is dirtied, it flies into a hysterical rage.
Galarian Meowth
Living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon's body so much that parts of it have turned to iron.
