Trivia[]

  • Sunflora is Meowth's most frequently used Pokémon disguise in the anime, having been used seven times so far.
  • In Pokémon Crystal, a bug causes the capture formula for the Heavy Ball to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects Kadabra and Tauros.
