Meowth is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Kanto region. It evolves into Persian when fed 50 candies. It has an Alolan form that is Dark-type and a Galarian form that is Steel-type which evolves into Perrserker when fed 50 candies.
Pokédex description[]
Meowth withdraws its sharp claws into its paws to slinkily sneak about without making any incriminating footsteps. For some reason, this Pokémon loves shiny coins that glitter with light.
A royal house that flourished in the distant past brought it here from another region. Meowth is both selfish and prideful.
Living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon's body so much that parts of it have turned to iron.
