|---|
| Meowth is a very special Pokémon. It has the ability Pick-up, which allows the Pokémon to pick up a random item every time a battle is won (Meowth doesn't have to be the active Pokémon). In Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green, the items are mostly berries, while in other versions there is more of a variety of items. Meowth is a Normal-type Pokémon. However, it learns a powerful Dark-type attack, and a very special attack called Pay Day which causes the player to receive money every time it is used in battle. |
Pokémon can be left here to evolve over time, at a cost of 100 per level gained. Every step travelled outside the building gives the Pokémon 1 experience point.
The building to the right leads to an underground path that skips Saffron City and reaches route 6. This route has a lot of items. However, most of the items only appear after obtaining it from the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City.
