Pokédex Entries for Meowstic

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Male

Sword
Revealing the eyelike patterns on the insides of its ears will unleash its psychic powers. It normally keeps the patterns hidden, however.
Shield
The defensive instinct of the males is strong. It's when they're protecting themselves or their partners that they unleash their full power.

Female

Sword
Females are a bit more selfish and aggressive than males. If they don't get what they want, they will torment you with their psychic abilities.
Shield
If it doesn't hold back when it unleashes its psychic power, it can tear apart a tanker. Its unfriendliness is part of its charm.

Generation 6 Pokédex Entries

Male

X Omega Ruby
When in danger, it raises its ears and releases enough psychic power to grind a 10-ton truck into dust.
Y Alpha Sapphire
The eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense.
