Meowth (ニャース) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I (1996), designed by Ken Sugimori and the Game Freak design team. Named after the sound of a cat's cry, this feline Pokémon is recognized by its cream-colored fur, brown tail, and golden coin on its forehead. The Team Rocket anime's Meowth is famous for his ability to speak human language, which he learned along with walking upright to impress a female Meowth named Meowzie. Clever, ambitious, and sarcastic yet compassionate, Meowth often creates elaborate schemes while seeking wealth, recognition, and Giovanni's approval.
