Verdict

Collector's Pick
Meowstic is a Psychic-type Pokemon with base stats of 166/167/179 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,401. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Meowstic may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Meowstic in Pokemon GO?
Meowstic has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Meowstic for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Meowstic's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Meowstic is weak to Bug, Dark, Ghost-type moves. On the other hand, Meowstic resists Fighting, Psychic-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Meowstic effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Meowstic's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Meowstic's maximum CP is 2,401 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,124 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Meowstic's CP is calculated from its base stats: 166 Attack, 167 Defense, and 179 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Meowstic caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,213 CP, or 1,517 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Meowstic?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Meowstic has the following CP at key levels: 910 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,213 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,517 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,401 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Meowstic, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Meowstic ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Meowstic in Pokemon GO?
Meowstic is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Espurr with 50 Candy). Meowstic can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Meowstic be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Meowstic's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Meowstic availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
