Meowth (M) @ Expert Belt / Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Level: 5
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Fake Out / Body Slam
- Aerial Ace / Play Rough
- Gunk Shot / Seed Bomb
- U-turn / Shadow Claw

Gunk Shot, Seed Bomb, U-Turn, Shadow Claw, as well as Aerial Ace and Play Rough are all good coverage moves, especially Shadow Claw as Ghosts completely wall this set. Aerial Ace is recommended over Play Rough as it covers Fighting types just as well, and never misses while Play Rough can miss. Fake Out is great because it can break Focus Sash, while Body Slam has better power. U-Turn is for fast pivoting and is also fine coverage against Dark types. Gunk Shot has incredible power and gives a chance to poison the opponent which is great for some damage on opponents. I recommend Jolly to outspeed most opponents.
