History

Meowth is a Generation 1 Normal-type Pokémon from the Kanto region, known as the Scratch Cat Pokémon. It evolves from one form into Persian and is infamous for its ability to speak human language, particularly the talking Meowth from Team Rocket in the Pokémon anime, who serves as a comic relief antagonist with dreams of wealth and luxury.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering on intricate full-art borders, print lines on holofoil pattern, edge whitening from sleeves, surface scratches on illustration, and corner dings; common flaws include off-centering and holo scratches due to recent print

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight; avoid stacking without dividers to prevent Newton rings on holofoil

Authenticity. Verify set code ME03 and card number 121/088 printed on edge; check holofoil pattern consistency and font alignment against official images; use TCGPlayer or Pokemon.com database for reference; fakes often have blurry text or incorrect ability wording
