Pokémon Unite has revealed Meowth as the next playable fighter for the Pokémon team battle. He will join Aeos Island on January 9, 2026.
The trailer confirms Meowth to be a speed-type Pokémon with moves that dash and scratch targets. It also uses coins for long-distance attacks, which raises its unique meter on opponents for huge damage.
🎉 Happy New Year! 🎇
