Strategy & play
How Giovanni's Meowth plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is card selection. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Colorless type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥20 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Giovanni's Meowth
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥20 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

How can I tell if my Giovanni's Meowth is real?
