The Pokémon of September 27th, 2025 is…

#52 Meowth Alolan Form

“Meowth (Japanese: ニャース Nyarth) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Persian starting at level 28.

In Alola, Meowth has a Dark-type regional form. It evolves into Alolan Persian when leveled up with high friendship.

In Galar, Meowth has a Steel-type regional form. It evolves into Perrserker starting at level 28.

Kantonian Meowth can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Meowth if it has the Gigantamax Factor. Meowth with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Meowth is a small, feline Pokémon with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its ovoid head features four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and a gold koban coin embedded in its forehead. Its ears are black with brown interiors and are flanked with an additional pair of long whiskers. Meowth can freely manipulate its claws, retracting them when it wants to move silently. The tip of its tail curls tightly. Meowth is a quadruped with the ability to walk on its hind legs. While the games almost always depict Meowth on two legs, it is stated in the Pokémon the Series episode Go West Young Meowth that Meowth normally walks on all fours.

Meowth is attracted to round and shiny objects and has the unique ability to produce coins using its signature move, Pay Day. Meowth and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Pay Day by leveling up. Being nocturnal, it is known to wander about city streets at night and pick up anything that sparkles, including loose change. Upon finding a sparkling object, its eyes will glitter and the coin on its forehead will shine brightly. It shares this intrigue with Murkrow, with whom it often fights with for objects and prey. Meowth is a playful but fickle Pokémon with the capacity for human-like intelligence, with at least one member of the species teaching itself how to speak. Meowth tends to live in urban areas to collect the coins that people drop. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Meowth is known to sleep with the coins it collects.

Meowth has a Gigantamax form and two regional forms, Alolan Meowth and Galarian Meowth.

In Alola, Meowth has a slightly different look. This look was the result of the monarchy’s influence. Alolan Meowth’s fur is a light blue-gray color. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears are a whitish-gray. Alolan Meowth’s whiskers have a slight curve compared to regular Meowth’s straighter whiskers, and it has silvery eyes.

Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty. The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish, prideful, and cunning Alolan Meowth. As a result, Alolan Mewoth’s new pride also made them impulsive and fickle in nature. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. Due to the actions of humans in Alola, Alolan Meowth’s population increased in numbers. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth is known to be very famously diffcult to train due to their arrogant nature. Despite this, Alolan Meowth is also very popular with some Trainers who enjoy giving it a lot of attention.“-Bulbapedia.
