==Overview==

Mewoth is one of the more popular Pokémon species, largely thanks to the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon anime]], which features a Meowth as a main character. This Meowth, belonging to [[Wikipedia:Pokémon crime syndicates#Team Rocket|Team Rocket]], the anime's major antagonists, is one of the few Pokémon that can speak.


Meowth has a distinctly feline appearance, resembling a small housecat. It has cream-colored fur, which turns brown at its paws and tail tip. Its oval-shaped head features prominent whiskers, black-and-brown ears and a [[Wikipedia:Koban (Japanese gold coin)|koban]], a gold oval coin (also known as "charm") embedded in its forehead. Meowth's coloration, its love of coins (see below) and its charm indicate that Meowth is based on the Japanese [[Wikipedia:Maneki Neko|Maneki Neko]], a cat-shaped figurine that is said to bring good luck and money to its owner.
==Character description==
Meowth is one of the original 151 Pokémon that appeared in ''[[Pokémon Red & Blue]]''. A player can find a Meowth in the wild in various grass areas. In the advance generation of Pokémon games, Mewoth gained the Pick Up ability which allows Meowth to pick up random items while the trainer is traveling. Meowth most notable role is in Pokémon anime. Meowth appeared as one of the grunts on Team Rocket. Mewoth is a unique Pokémon as he can talk the human language. Meowth likes to scheme with Team Rocket and causes havoc on Ash and his friends. Meowth also envys the attention that a Persian recieves from his boss Giovanni. Meowth's signature move is Pay Day.


Meowth is an urban nocturnal Pokémon. It spends most of the daytime sleeping and prowls the city streets at night. When hunting, Meowth organize themselves in groups that act like gangs, foraging or stealing food from people. They are aided in their mischief by their eyes which allow them night vision. They also retract their claws back into their paws, which grants them silent movement and protecting them from leaving distinctively incriminating pawprints that alert people to their actions.


Like the [[Wikipedia:Bowerbird|bowerbird]], Meowth is attracted to certain objects that catch its attention, which it collects at every opportunity and hoards in its nest. [[Wikipedia:List of Pokémon (181-200)#Murkrow|Murkrow]], a Pokémon which is even more like the bowerbird, exhibits similar behaviour and members of the two species have been known to steal from the collections of the other. Meowth loves round shaped objects, as well as shiny, glittering things. The item it adores collecting the most, however, are coins, since they are both round and shiny. Meowth is known to scour the pavements for dropped loose change and even to openly steal money from people to add to its collection.
