Meowth Moves and Ability

The moves and their description below are all taken from Meowth's moves overview video.

Pay Day

Has the user hurl a gold coin in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon it hits. Gold coins will drop near opposing Pokemon it hits. A maximum of 2 uses can be kept in reserve for this move. Picking up gold coins reduces the time until another reserve use becomes available.

Fury Swipes

Has the user swipe twice with its sharp claws at the designated opposing Pokémon, dealing damage and granting the user a shield effect.The number of swipes increases (up to 5 maximum) based on the number of times the user has recently dealt damage to opposing Pokémon.When this move hits, that number of times resets.If the maximum number of swipes hit, the cooldowns for Feint, Feint Attack, and Assurance reset.

Feint Attack

Has the user pounce at the designated opposing Pokémon and scratch them with its claws, dealing damage and leaving them unable to act. When this move hits, the user is granted a shield effect and can quickly move in a designated direction. The user's next basic attack becomes a boosted attack.

Assurance

Has the user charge in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon and restoring the user's HP. The more times the user has recently dealt damage to the opposing Pokemon (maximum 5 times), the more HP is restored. This move deals double damage to opposing Pokemon the user has recently dealt damage to five or more times. The count of times then resets.

UNITE Move: Gold Coin Barrage

Has the user unleash a barrage of gold coins toward the designated Pokemon from the opposing team, dealing damage. If Pokemon from the opposing team step in the coins' path, the coins will hit them instead. During the attack, coins will periodically drop near Pokemon from the opposing team hit by the move.
