Character info
The character
Alolan Meowth is the regional variant of Meowth found in the Alola region, known as the Scratch Cat Pokemon. It is said to be descended from Meowth that once lived with Alolan royalty, which has made it accustomed to luxury and very picky about its food. Unlike its mainland counterpart, it has a dark Dark-type temperament reflected in its haughtier attitude.
