CARDEX BACKGROUND

About this Pokémon form

Life alongside Alola's royalty left its mark on Meowth. Accustomed to luxury, it became picky about food and retains great pride. Yet this population did not originally live in the region. Human actions encouraged its multiplication there, followed by its return to the wild. Its cunning nature thus accompanies a history that moved from privileged homes to everyday encounters in Alola.

Background on this form in the video games; this card’s attacks, edition and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

Two annoyances can anger Alolan Meowth: an injury to its pride or dirt on the coin on its forehead. The entry thus connects a symbolic affront to its dignity with a simple material incident.
