'''Meowth''' (Japanese: '''ニャース''' ''Nyarth'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically part of a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. His major difference from other {{p|Meowth}}, and nearly all other Pokémon, is that he can talk and walk on two legs like a human. | '''Meowth''' (Japanese: '''ニャース''' ''Nyarth'') is a member of [[Team Rocket]], more specifically part of a [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]].

In [[JN043]], the trio were sent to [[Galar]] on Giovanni's command. During the trip, the [[Darkest Day]] begins, and the trio plan on using the opportunity to capture {{p|Eternatus}}. The plan failed, however, when Meowth was hit by a beam of [[Dynamax]] energy, causing him to [[Gigantamax]] for the first time. Unable to handle the energy, he began to attack his teammates. He [[JN045|eventually]] regains control of himself and goes to attack Eternatus with {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}, but is robbed of his Dynamax energy by the Gigantic Pokémon and blasted off. | In [[JN043]], the trio were sent to [[Galar]] on Giovanni's command.

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, most notably [[Brock's Onix]] in ''Who Gets to Keep Togepi?''. | 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.

Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a {{i|Poké Ball}}, though he is technically a [[wild Pokémon]]. He remains a part of the trio because he feels he has a place with them. Meowth considers himself the brains of the trio's operations, namely because his ability to translate Pokémon speech for Jessie and James, and also because of his extensive technical knowledge, which has helped construct many of [[Team Rocket's mechas]]. He utilizes [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] to explain his schemes to his teammates, though these also expose Meowth's ambitions to be Giovanni's sole companion. On several occasions, Meowth's value has been questioned. He even had some tension towards [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] when he first joined the trio and kept taking his place in the Team Rocket {{motto}}, but the pair now gets along. His attachment to Jessie and James is more obvious when he finds himself separated or when the trio has decided to go their separate ways. Examples of this include ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'' or ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', when he became sad after Jessie and James got swallowed up by the [[Tree of Beginning]]'s antibodies. | Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a {{i|Poké Ball}}, though he is technically a [[wild Pokémon]].

During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Meowth developed a bond with {{AP|Litten}}. In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth was brought to tears when Litten explained its past. His concern for Litten grew in ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', when {{an|Stoutland}} began to grow ill before disappearing, and he even informed Ash that he had better protect Litten. Following Stoutland's disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached. Meowth later watched as Ash caught Litten, knowing that it was for the best even though it meant they were enemies. Encountering {{p|Torracat}} for the first time since Litten evolved during ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Meowth seemed to be excited by its evolution. | During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Meowth developed a bond with {{AP|Litten}}.
