{{iw|bulbapedia|Pay Day|move}} is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It has 40 base power, 100% accuracy and the unique property of producing money which can be picked up after each battle. It was originally Meowth's {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}}, meaning it was that only Pokémon able to learn it by level, along with Persian, prior to {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}.

Meowth returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but not as a Poké Ball Pokémon. Instead, it has been relegated to a role as a [[trophy]]. Meowth's trophy is unlocked after getting the "Smash Blue" trophies (from the [[All-Star Mode|All-Star]] single-player mode) for all 26 playable characters. This is the only game where Meowth isn't a Poké Ball Pokémon.

Meowth's trophy is atypical with respect to other ''Pokémon'' trophies. Instead of describing its behaviour in the ''Pokémon'' series, the trophy instead references ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Meowth's Party}}'', a technical demo designed to demonstrate the GameCube's graphics utilizing the eponymous song which had been the anime's ending theme a few months before. Reflecting this, the trophy depicts Meowth holding the red and white guitar featured from the demo.

**Ironically, despite its Team Rocket anime counterpart being well-known for its ability to talk, Meowth does not vocalize at all in ''Smash''.
