Base Stats

Till the 9th generation, Meowscarada is the last in this evolution series. But the subsequent generation might come up with a new evolved Pokémon in this sequence. 

This evolution series has brought Meowscarada above Sprigatito and Floragato in base stats, making it more powerful than the other two Pokémon. 

Now let’s take a look at the Meowscarda Base Stats to assess its efficiency on the battlefield.

Meowscarada Base Stats

Derived from the word “statistics,” base stats are the basic game parameters of a Pokémon that influence its performance in a battle. 

Pokémon base stats consist of hit points, attack, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed. The aggregate of these stats provides insight into its overall performance. 

Meowscarada’s Base stats are represented below in graphical form. 

As mentioned above, the total of all the parameters, i.e., 530, coupled with good attack and speed stats, make it a potent contender in the Pokémon battlefield.

Meowscarada is Stronger and Weaker Against Which Pokémon Types? (Under Normal Battle Conditions)

Every Pokémon is stronger and weaker than other types of Pokémon. Our central character, i.e., Meowscarada, also comes with certain strengths and weaknesses. Below is a tabular representation of it. 

Meowscarada Weak Against	1X – Steel, Dragon, Rock, Normal 2X – Fire, Ice, Fairy, Poison, Fighting, Flying 4X – Bug
Meowscarada Resistant To	½ X – Ground, Grass, Dark, Electric, Water, Ghost
Meowscarada Immune To	0x – Psychic

*The numerals succeeded by “X” symbolize the intensity of the weakness, resistance, or immunity to the other Pokémon types. 

Comprehending the strengths and weaknesses is very instrumental in Pokémon battles to figure out the moves to be used against stronger and weaker opponents. 

Now, let’s move to the most crucial part, i.e., the moves learned by the Meowscarada.

In-game Locations 

There is no spawn location of Meowscarda in the open world, leaving evolution as the sole option for in-game locations of Meowscarada. 

The only way to locate Meowscarada is to evolve Floragato in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The evolution of Sprigatito to Floragato at level 16 and to  Meowscarada at level 36 brings the best opportunity to locate Meowscarada. 

Sprites

Meowscarada didn’t exist before Gen 9. The two sprites of Meowscarada in generation 9 are as follows:

Generation	Normal	Shiny
Generation 9

Being a new entrant in the Pokémon, limited sprites of Meowscarda are available. However, the subsequent generations in the future are expected to bring more sprites. 

Conclusion

Its aggregate stats totaling 530 describe its strength and the moves learned through level-up and TM make it a more dependable Pokémon on the battlefield.
