In the anime
Several different Meowth appeared over the Pokémon anime, but the most well-known Meowth featured in the show is a member of Team Rocket. He is unlike ordinary Meowth in that he can speak human language and walks on two legs instead of four. Alongside fellow Team Rocket members Jessie and James, he engages in various evil schemes, usually attempting to steal Ash Ketchum's Pikachu, but never succeeding.
Other Meowth that appeared in the anime include Meowzie, a female Meowth that Team Rocket's Meowth fell in love with during his days as a stray Pokémon in the streets of Hollywood, and "Meowth in Boots", a Meowth belonging to Tyson, a Trainer from Hoenn.

Seventh Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Sun | Kantonian - It lies around all day, becoming active near dusk. At night, it wanders the city in search of loose change. Alolan - This Pokémon was not originally found in Alola. Human actions caused a surge in their numbers, and they went feral. They're prideful and crafty. |
Pokémon Moon | Kantonian - It loves shiny things. It often fights with Murkrow over prey they're both trying to catch. Alolan - When its delicate pride is wounded, or when the gold coin on its forehead is dirtied, it flies into a hysterical rage. |
Pokémon Ultra Sun | Kantonian - When visiting a junkyard, you may catch sight of it having an intense fight with Murkrow over shiny objects. Alolan - It's impulsive, selfish and fickle. It's very popular with some Trainers who like giving it the attention it needs. |
Pokémon Ultra Moon | Kantonian - It loves coins, so if you give it one, you can make friends with Meowth easily. But it's fickle, so you can't count on that friendship lasting. Alolan - A royal house that flourished in the distant past brought it here from another region. Meowth is both selfish and prideful. |

Eighth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Sword | Kantonian - It loves to collect shiny things. If it's in a good mood, it might even let its Trainer have a look at its hoard of treasures. Alolan - It's accustomed to luxury because it used to live with Alolan royalty. As a result, it's very picky about food. 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. |
