Catch CP after the raid

The CP you will see on the encounter screen.

IVs Lv 20 CP Lv 25 CP (weather)
10 / 10 / 10 floor 399 496
15 / 15 / 15 100% 438 545
Raid catches have an IV floor of 10/10/10, so the two rows are the real minimum and maximum. If you see 438 CP it is a perfect Meowth — throw a Golden Razz Berry.

Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Soloable with six level-40 top counters. Worked out from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS above.

Meowth resists Ghost — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

FAQ

What are the best counters for Meowth?

The top counter is Mega Blaziken with Counter and Aura Sphere at 90.5 DPS against Meowth. Mega Lucario (89.7) and Shadow Blaziken (79.6) follow.

What is Meowth weak to?

Meowth takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves.

How many trainers do I need to beat Meowth?

Meowth can be soloed. The six best counters average 79.4 DPS against it at level 40, which clears the boss inside the timer with room to spare.

Can I beat Meowth without Shadow or Mega Pokemon?

Yes. The best non-Shadow, non-Mega option is Pheromosa at 70 DPS, 77% of what the top counter deals. Lucario and Blaziken are the next ones down.

Can Meowth be shiny?

Yes — the encounter after this raid can be shiny.

What weather boosts Meowth?

Partly Cloudy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 496–545 CP instead of 399–438. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.

Is Meowth worth raiding?

Meowth has no raid-attacker or GO Battle League ranking on this site, so the reasons to raid it are the dex entry, the candy and the shiny rather than your battle teams.

What is the best moveset for Meowth?
