Meowth is a Normal-type Pokémon famous as the third member of Team Rocket alongside Jessie and James in the anime. Unlike most Pokémon, this particular Meowth learned to walk upright and speak human language to impress a female Meowth named Meowzie. The gold coin (Koban) on its forehead is based on the Japanese Edo-period koban coin. Meowth's Pay Day attack literally throws coins at enemies, making it one of the most recognizable Pokémon designs from Generation I.
