Silver It loves anything that shines. It especially adores coins that it picks up and secretly hoards.
Crystal It loves things that sparkle. When it sees a shiny object, the gold coin on its head shines too.
RubySapphire 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.
FireRed All it does is sleep during the daytime. At night, it patrols its territory with its eyes aglow.
LeafGreen Adores round objects. It wanders the streets on a nightly basis to look for dropped loose change.

Omega RubyAlpha Sapphire 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.
Sun It lies around all day, becoming active near dusk. At night, it wanders the city in search of loose change.
Moon It loves shiny things. It often fights with Murkrow over prey they’re both trying to catch.
Ultra Sun When visiting a junkyard, you may catch sight of it having an intense fight with Murkrow over shiny objects.
Ultra Moon It loves coins, so if you give it one, you can make friends with Meowth easily. But it’s fickle, so you can’t count on that friendship lasting.
Let's Go PikachuLet's Go Eevee Appears to be more active at night. It loves round and shiny things. It can’t stop itself from picking them up.
Sword It loves to collect shiny things. If it’s in a good mood, it might even let its Trainer have a look at its hoard of treasures.
Shield It washes its face regularly to keep the coin on its forehead spotless. It doesn’t get along with Galarian Meowth.
Brilliant DiamondShining Pearl It is nocturnal by nature. If it spots something shiny, its eyes glitter as brightly as the shiny object.
Scarlet All it does is sleep during the daytime. At night, it patrols its territory with its eyes aglow.

Gigantamax

Sword The pattern that has appeared on its giant coin is thought to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon.
Shield Its body has grown incredibly long and the coin on its forehead has grown incredibly large—all thanks to Gigantamax power.

Alolan Meowth

Sun This Pokémon was not originally found in Alola. Human actions caused a surge in their numbers, and they went feral. They’re prideful and crafty.
Moon When its delicate pride is wounded, or when the gold coin on its forehead is dirtied, it flies into a hysterical rage.
Ultra Sun It’s impulsive, selfish, and fickle. It’s very popular with some Trainers who like giving it the attention it needs.
Ultra Moon A royal house that flourished in the distant past brought it here from another region. Meowth is both selfish and prideful.
Let's Go PikachuLet's Go Eevee Highly intelligent and prideful, it’s famously difficult to handle—but that’s also a reason for its popularity.
Sword It’s accustomed to luxury because it used to live with Alolan royalty. As a result, it’s very picky about food.
Shield Deeply proud and keenly smart, this Pokémon moves with cunning during battle and relentlessly attacks enemies’ weak points.

Galarian Meowth

Sword Living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon’s body so much that parts of it have turned to iron.
Shield These daring Pokémon have coins on their foreheads. Darker coins are harder, and harder coins garner more respect among Meowth.
