Meowth (ニャース, Nyarth) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Origin
Meowth is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #052 as the "Scratch Cat Pokémon". It evolves into Persian starting at level 28. It and its evolution received Alolan Forms in Generation VII. It also received a Galarian Form in Generation VIII, in which it evolves into Perrserker instead. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, a special pre-order Meowth can transform into its Gigantamax form, during which it can use the move G-Max Gold Rush. It is easily recognized by the coin on its forehead and is known to collect similar shiny objects. It is especially notable among the general public for being a part of the Team Rocket trio in the Pokémon anime series along with Jessie and James, appearing in almost all of its episodes. In the National Pokédex, it is registered as #052.
Pay Day 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 signature move, meaning it was that only Pokémon able to learn it by level, along with Persian, prior to Generation IV.
In Super Smash Bros.
Based on its prominent role in the Pokémon anime series, which was extremely popular at the time of the original Smash's release, a popular rumor claims Meowth was planned to be playable in the game along with Bowser, King Dedede, Mewtwo, and many other characters, before being cut for space/time constraints. However, unlike the aforementioned three characters, no definitive official source has ever been found that proves Meowth was ever planned to be included as a playable character.
As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Meowth can be summoned by a Poké Ball. It uses Pay Day as its attack: Meowth hovers in the place it was summoned, scattering coins in all directions. Any character caught in the radius of this attack will take damage. When the coins hit characters, they also make Mario-coin sounds. The attack radius of Pay Day is short so it can be easy to avoid, however, fighters can become trapped in the barrage of coins taking up to 50% damage.
