In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' Meowth along with Jessie and James encountered an evil Malamar. Malamar managed to take control of Jessie and James, as well as their Pokemon, but Meowth used Fury Swipes on itself to endure the hypnotizing. After Meowth escaped he encountered Ash and his friends and warned them of the Malamar. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Meowth, Ash and his friends arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. Meowth and Ash managed to endure it by once again using Fury Swipes on their faces to keep focus. The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized.

The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Meowth translated Malamar's evil ambitions of conquering the world as part of an evil grand design to Ash and company and tried to stop it from doing so. But unfortunately for them, Malamar escaped. As Team Rocket recuperates from their ordeal with Malamar, Meowth reveals to them that Malamar is the evolved form of Inkay, causing them to react nervously when they looked at [[James's Inkay]].


In ''[[XY023|Coming Back Into the Cold!]]'', Meowth tried to stop Serena, Bonnie, and Alexa from rescuing an {{p|Amaura}} that he stole alongside Jessie and James, even showing off his prehensile strategy of using Fury Swipes to block [[Serena's Fennekin]]'s {{m|Hidden Power}}. However, the parent {{p|Aurorus}} appeared in front of Meowth and froze him with {{m|Blizzard}}, allowing the three heroes to save Amaura.

In ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Team Rocket, Ash, his friends, and Officer Jenny faced the evil Malamar from before. Meowth was scared of Inkay again because Inkay evolves in Malamar. They followed Inkay and met the evil Malamar again. Clemont, Meowth and James managed to escape but the evil Malamar held Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Bonnie, Jessie, Wobbuffet, and Officer Jenny with {{m|Psychic}}. However, thanks to the combined forces of the good Malamar and Inkay from the forest below [[Grace Tower]], they managed to stop the evil Malamar, rescue everyone and save the world from certain destruction. But the evil Malamar escaped into the future, swearing to fight again and their grand design will succeed someday once they return.
In ''[[XY078|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Team Rocket staged an ambush for Ash and his friends, tricking the heroes into giving them their Pokémon in their [[Poké Ball]]s beore trapping them. However, after stealing some freshly made Poké Balls, the group discovered that Pikachu was still free. Meowth then chased Pikachu throughout the [[Poké Ball Factory]], attempting to recall the Electric Mouse into his Poké Ball. Failing to do so, Team Rocket attempted to escape with their stash of stolen Poké Balls, but they botched that as well. Meowth then challenges Pikachu to a duel, wagering Ash and his friends Poké Balls, all the while intending to again recall Pikachu. However, the Scratch Cat Pokémon is still defeated before blasting of again with the rest of his team.
In ''[[XY079|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', he performed with Jessie in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. They lost but they made it to the performing round.
