Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a [[Poké Ball]], but is technically a [[wild Pokémon]] unlike Pikachu. Strangely, though he first appeared in the second episode, in an era where {{Ash}} scanned nearly every Pokémon he came into contact with with his [[Pokédex]], it took until ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' for Ash to do this to Meowth. However, this was a mere accident: Meowth was dressed up like a {{p|Kirlia}}, and Ash had never seen one before. In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', {{an|Dawn}}, unlike Ash, scanned him right away. She also made the same mistake as Ash when she scanned Meowth as a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]''. Also, in the episode ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', {{Tracey}} started examining Meowth (despite not having a Pokédex), but only because he was interested in the fact that he could talk.

Meowth normally does not battle unless there are extreme circumstances; his explanation is that his ability to talk and walk upright came at the expense of battling ability. However, when forced to fight, Meowth is fairly resourceful, such as dumping a bucket of water on an {{p|Onix}} to weaken it. In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship]]'' , however, Meowth fought extremely well, even knocking out {{an|Barry}}'s {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} with {{m|Fury Swipes}}, which normally wouldn't do much damage. Yet just two episodes later, in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', Meowth was unable to break a display case using {{m|Scratch}}. Meowth's Fury Swipes attack was shown to slice dough in order to make ramen in the episode, ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]''. {{si|Christopher}}, a former Team Rocket member and the owner of the ramen shop, saw Meowth do this and asked him to work in his restaurant as a noodle maker. After some thought, which included reflecting back on previous failures and the lack of appreciation and respect from Jessie and James, Meowth quit the Team Rocket Trio and accepted the offer. However, he eventually rejoined the group after hearing that James and Jessie were in danger.

Meowth has used his claws to pick locks on several occasions, such as when Jessie, James, and he wanted to get into the [[Old Chateau]] in [[Canalave City]].
