Physical Sweeper Meowth-Galar (Tough Claws)
Meowth is a wonderful Physical Sweeper in single battles. It attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Meowth's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Meowth's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Tough Claws, Meowth's contact moves have their power multiplied by 1.3. Seed Bomb was added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Iron Head is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Steel-type move (30% chance to make the target flinch). ♦ Metal Claw is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Steel-type move (10% chance to raise your Meowth's attack by 1 stage). ♦ Seed Bomb is a physical 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a nice amount of damage. ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ♦ Foul Play is a physical 95-base power Dark-type move (uses target's attack stat in damage calculation). ♦ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio). ♦ Shadow Claw is a physical 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
