Verdict
Situational
Meowscarada is a solid but not elite Grass-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#23) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,193 and base stats of 233/153/183, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Grass-type counters. The best moveset is Leafage paired with Frenzy Plant. Consider investing if you need a Grass-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
