Description
Meowth
Appears to be more active at night. It loves round and shiny things. It can’t stop itself from picking them up.
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.
When visiting a junkyard, you may catch sight of it having an intense fight with Murkrow over shiny objects.
