Get ready to strike it rich with Meowth, the latest addition to Pokémon UNITE! But here's the real kicker: this crafty cat isn’t just here to look cute—it’s a game-changer on the battlefield. As a Melee Speedster, Meowth brings a unique blend of agility and trickery, making it a force to be reckoned with. Its insatiable love for gold coins isn’t just a quirk; it’s a strategic advantage. Every coin Meowth collects boosts its speed, turning it into a lightning-fast thief capable of snatching battle items right from under the noses of opposing Pokémon. Sure, Meowth might not be the toughest fighter on Aeos Island, but its playstyle is pure gold—literally.
And this is the part most people miss: Meowth’s Pickup ability isn’t just about stealing items; it’s about timing and positioning. When you defeat a wild Pokémon or attack an opponent, you’ll swipe their battle item, but there’s a cooldown, so use it wisely. Plus, Meowth’s speed increases when moving toward Aeos energy or gold coins, making it a master of the map. Its basic attacks are no joke either—every third strike drops gold coins, fueling its speed and setting up opportunities for theft or escape.
Let’s dive into Meowth’s moveset, where things get even more interesting. At Level 1 and 3, Scratch and Feint offer straightforward damage, but they’re just the beginning. Here’s where it gets controversial: At Level 5, Pay Day becomes a hot topic. This move not only deals damage and slows opponents but also drops gold coins, which can be picked up to reduce its cooldown. Some players love it for its utility, while others argue it’s too situational. What do you think? Is Pay Day a must-have, or is Fury Swipes—with its increasing damage and shield effect—the better choice?
Speaking of Fury Swipes, this move scales with Meowth’s aggression. The more damage you’ve dealt recently, the more swipes you’ll land (up to five), and if you max it out, cooldowns for other moves reset. It’s a high-risk, high-reward move that rewards bold play. At Level 7, Feint Attack and Assurance offer even more depth. Feint Attack stuns opponents, grants a shield, and boosts your next basic attack, while Assurance restores HP based on recent damage dealt, with double damage against frequently hit targets. But here’s the question: Which move do you think pairs best with Meowth’s playstyle?
Finally, Meowth’s Unite Move, Gold Coin Barrage, is a spectacle. Unleash a storm of coins that not only deal damage but also adapt to hit opponents in their path. It’s a move that’s as flashy as it is effective, and it’s sure to leave your opponents scrambling. So, Trainers, are you ready to embrace the chaos and cunning of Meowth? Whether you’re a seasoned player or a beginner, this Pokémon offers a fresh and exciting way to dominate the battlefield. Let us know in the comments—will Meowth be your new go-to, or do you think it’s all just a bunch of shiny distractions? We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
