Meowth (Galar) in Polished Crystal
Steel — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.
Compared with the official games
Against the base species it is built from:
- Stats HP 40 → 50, Attack 45 → 65, Defense 35 → 65, Speed 90 → 40 (total 290 → 300)
- Type Normal → Steel
- Abilities gains Battle Armor, Tough Claws, Steely Spirit and loses Pickup, Technician, Unnerve
Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Crystal, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
