CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

At night, Meowth makes the streets its hunting ground for treasures. A dropped coin or a small shiny object is enough to catch its attention. It gathers these finds with a collector's enthusiasm, building a treasure trove of its own. When it is in a good mood, it may even show its stash to its Trainer: privileged access to what matters to it.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Meowth's fondness for shiny things extends to its own face. Pokémon Shield explains that it washes regularly to keep the coin on its forehead spotless. Its little grooming ritual thus goes hand in hand with its passion for treasures.
