07Why Collectors Want It

  • A reverse holo from Team Rocket Returns (2004), featuring the Rocket's variant of the fan-favorite Meowth.
  • The reverse foil drives ~$115 raw over the standard #46.
  • Strong PSA 10 demand — high-grade copies are scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Meowth with 60 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Snatch and Run Cost: Colorless

Search your deck for a Pokémon Tool card or Rocket's Secret Machine card, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. If you do, you may switch Rocket's Meowth with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Miraculous Comeback Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 10× damage

Flip a coin for each Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's). This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads. Rocket's Meowth does 10 damage times the number of tails to itself.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$3,750 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Very low Gem-Mint population — a mid-2000s reverse holo, tough to grade clean.

Other graders: PSA dominates; BGS/CGC examples are scarce.
