Physiology

Meditite, in reference to its name, resembles a person meditating, sitting with knees bent and feet together with its hands resting on its knees. It also resembles a certain yoga position. Its lower body is blue, with white on the wrists, feet, and what seems to be pants, or possibly a diaper. Its head is also white, with an onion-like shape and large ears. Its eyes are large and seem to be focused.

A male's ears are higher up than a female's.

In the anime

Meditite first appeared under the ownership of Shauna in A Meditite Fight.

In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Meditite and its evolved form, Medicham, worked for a traveling family of circus performers. The two Meditation Pokémon used Psychic to make balls of water retain their form.

In Lost Leader Strategy!, it was revealed that Maylene used a Meditite in her gym battle with Paul. Her Meditite also appeared again in Crossing the Battle Line! in a battle with Dawn, where it battled against her Buneary and won, then it battled against her Ambipom, where it lost. Meditite was also used to battle Ash's Staravia in A Triple Fighting Chance!.

In the Pokémon Special manga, Maylene has a Meditite. It handily defeats Pearl's Chatot, who Platina borrowed in order to fight her.
