Release information

This card was initially digitally created for the Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color. In Japan, a physical print was later made available as an Unnumbered Promotional card on an insert in the February 1999 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released on January 15, 1999. Cat Punch's effect on this print was altered to specify that the opponent selects the Benched Pokémon to receive damage when necessary.

The English version of the card was included with localized copies of the earlier mentioned Game Boy Color Pokémon Trading Card Game. This print is Holofoil and has the HP slightly farther left than normal. A Non Holofoil version of the English print was released in Japan as a promotional card and was awarded to passengers for completing the JR West Pokémon Stamp Rally 2000, which was held on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays on the network between July 20 and August 27, 2000.

Trivia

All prints of this card feature a "GB" symbol, referencing its ties to the Game Boy title. It is in the same position as an expansion symbol on the Japanese CoroCoro print. On the English print and its Japanese replica, it is in the bottom right corner of the artwork due to the presence of the Black Star Promo symbol. This is the only Game Boy-related card to feature the "GB" symbol outside Japan.
Meowth's level on the physical card is listed as LV.13 although it is LV.14 in Pokémon Trading Card Game. In the sequel, the level matches the promo card in-game as LV.13.

Origin

This card's physical Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue. The in-game English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Yellow, while the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Blue; both are slightly reworded.

This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

 ==Trivia==
-*The attack text for the English release of this card was slightly altered from its Japanese version, as it was considered too vague. The English {{Card GB}} version of the card still contains the original Japanese translation, as it was created before [[Wizards of the Coast]] produced the card.
+*All prints of this card feature a "GB" symbol, referencing its ties to the Game Boy title. It is in the same position as an expansion symbol on the Japanese ''CoroCoro'' print. On the English print and its Japanese replica, it is in the bottom right corner of the artwork due to the presence of the Black Star Promo symbol. This is the only Game Boy-related card to feature the "GB" symbol outside Japan.
-**Additionally, the English print of the card nudges the HP over a bit farther to the left than normal.
+*Meowth's level on the physical card is listed as LV.13 although it is LV.14 in {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}. In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!|the sequel]], the level matches the promo card in-game as LV.13.
-*The card displays a 'GB' symbol in the bottom right corner of the artwork, indicating it was originally created exclusively for the Game Boy.
-*Meowth's level on the card is listed as Lv. 13 although it is Lv. 14 in the game.
