Galarian - Living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon's body so much that parts of it have turned to iron.
Gigantamax - The pattern that has appeared on its giant coin is thought to be the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon.
Pokémon Shield Kantonian - It washes its face regularly to keep the coin on its forehead spotless. It doesn't get along with Galarian Meowth.
Alolan - Deeply proud and keenly smart, this Pokémon moves with cunning during battle and relentlessly attacks enemies' weak points.
Galarian - These daring Pokémon have coins on their foreheads. Darker coins are harder, and harder coins garner more respect among Meowth.
Gigantamax - Its body has grown incredibly long and the coin on its forehead incredibly large—all thanks to Gigantamax power.
