Trivia

• Meowscarada is the first:
  • Generation 9 Pokemon to be added to the game.
  • Pokemon to not feature in a character spotlight trailer prior to its release.
  • Speedster to be freely obtained through an event since Zeraora.
• When Meowscarada was first released, Trailblaze was mistakenly categorized as a Melee move in menus, even though it was labeled as a Dash move during matches. This has since been fixed in an update.
