In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 290, Meowth plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Attack at 65, while Special Attack (40) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Steel combination gives Meowth 10 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
With a catch rate of 255, Meowth is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
