Meowth 62/82 Pokémon Team Rocket Raw

Meowth (62/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a nostalgic and iconic card for collectors and fans of the early Pokémon TCG era. As a Common-rarity Basic Pokémon, this Colorless-type feline stands out with its mischievous charm and connection to the infamous villainous team. Released in April 2000 as part of the 5th Pokémon TCG expansion, Team Rocket brought a darker tone to the game, and Meowth’s inclusion captures the playful yet scheming spirit of the organization. With its simple yet effective design and recognizable artwork by Atsuko Nishida, this card is a staple for anyone building a retro-themed collection or celebrating the roots of the franchise.

In battle, Meowth may not have high HP—only 40—but its ability, Coin Hurl, adds a fun element of chance. By flipping a coin, trainers can deal 20 damage to an opponent’s Pokémon if it lands on heads, bypassing both Weakness and Resistance. While not a powerhouse, this move reflects Meowth’s clever and unpredictable nature. The card’s minimal retreat cost of just one Colorless energy makes it easy to swap in and out, offering strategic flexibility in gameplay. Though often overshadowed by the set’s darker "Dark" variants, Meowth remains a fan favorite due to its cultural significance and role in the anime as part of Team Rocket’s core trio.
