Collector Insights
Rocket's Meowth is a Pokémon card with 60 HP, numbered 59, and classified as Rare in the Rocket Gang Strikes Back set released on October 15, 2004. Designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, the card features two distinct attacks. The first, Snatch and Run, requires one Colorless energy to search the deck for a Pokémon Tool or Rocket's Secret Machine card, reveal it to the opponent, and place it in the player's hand. If successful, the player may switch Rocket's Meowth with one of their Benched Pokémon, then shuffle their deck. The second attack, Miraculous Comeback, costs two Colorless energy and deals 10× damage based on coin flips. For each Pokémon in play, the player flips a coin, dealing 10 damage per head to the opponent and 10 damage per tail to Rocket's Meowth itself. The card's mechanics emphasize strategic resource management and tactical switching, with the second attack creating variable damage outcomes depending on the number of active Pokémon. Its design reflects the Rocket Gang's theme of calculated deception and unpredictable power. The card's artwork and layout align with the set's focus on intense confrontations and high-stakes scenarios.
