Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Its coin is now black and extremely hard, with the hardest coins being especially valued. The darker the coin is, the more respect it gets from its peers. Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers.

As Gigantamax Meowth, it has become larger and longer in size. The body extends from lower half to the shoulder, while the gold coin gains a symbol. Meowth's eyes change to a glowing gold color. The tail grows long as well, with the end of it tips extending. The tail gets even larger and bumpy when it uses an attack. Three red clouds surround it below the shoulders. The giant coin emits a lot of Gigantamax power that surrounds the area with a golden gleam. Its desire for shiny objects increases to the point where it will cause damage to skyscraper windows and exterior walls for the sake of sharpening its claws.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-meowth/</ref> The symbol on Gigantamax Meowth's gold coin is believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of [[Dynamax]].

In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', an unnamed Meowth based on [[Meowzie]] appears. Like the anime, Meowzie finds Meowth's ability to speak human language "creepy". In the manga, however, she has at least one kitten, which she captures in a stolen Poké Ball in order to protect it from an impending flood.

* In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', it was stated that {{MTR}} of Team Rocket had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species are not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in the {{pkmn|games}} and the [[Pokédex]] in the anime depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. [[Tyson's Meowth]] is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
