Meowth is a long-running Pokemon species from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokemon franchise, first introduced in the original games in the 1990s. Its cry is one of the many short creature sounds used to identify Pokemon in battle screens, menus, and related game moments. Because Pokemon cries are so distinctive, fans often reuse them in edits, compilations, and nostalgic gaming content. Meowth stays especially recognizable thanks to the character's popularity across games, anime, and Team Rocket references.
