Meowth

Description

As a Basic Pokémon with 60 HP, this Colorless type card provides a reliable early-game option for deck builders. The Reverse Holo finish adds a distinctive visual appeal, making it a popular choice for those completing the base set or seeking specific foil treatments. Designed by Kagemaru Himeno, the card captures the essence of Meowth’s nocturnal nature, reflecting its Pokédex description of wandering cities in search of loose change. In gameplay, Meowth utilizes the Colorless Fake Out attack: players flip a coin, and if it lands on heads, the opponent’s Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed. This simple yet impactful mechanic allows for strategic control in competitive matches. The card’s low retreat cost of 1 further enhances its versatility, enabling easy switching during turns. For hobbyists and investors alike, this release represents a tangible piece of Pokémon’s 2017 era, bridging nostalgic character design with strategic depth. Whether used in casual play or collected for its set identity, Meowth #101 remains a staple for enthusiasts of the Burning Shadows series.
