The Giovanni's Meowth 74/132 is a Common card from the Gym Challenge expansion, released on October 16, 2000. As a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon with 50 HP, it is part of the "Giovanni" subset, featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori that depicts the Scratch Cat Pokémon in a poised, gym-themed stance. This card shares its collector number with the standard Unlimited version but is distinguished by its affiliation with the Viridian City Gym Leader's deck archetype within the Gym series block.

In gameplay, Giovanni's Meowth offers a coin-flip mechanic with its attack "Cat Fleas," which requires one Colorless Energy and confuses the Defending Pokémon if heads is flipped. It also features "Cat Kick," a straightforward attack dealing 30 damage for two Colorless Energy. The card carries a Weakness to Fighting-type attacks (×2), a Resistance to Psychic-type attacks (-30), and a Retreat Cost of two Colorless Energy, making it a basic utility card often used for early-game pressure or as a bench filler in vintage formats.

The "Raw" condition indicates that this card is ungraded, preserving its original state without professional encapsulation by services like PSA or Beckett. As a vintage card from the Wizards of the Coast era It remains a notable single for collectors completing the Gym Challenge master set or focusing on the "Giovanni" trainer lineage from the original Gym series
