Meowstic

Meowstic (ニャオニクス) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Physiology
Meowstic is a two-tailed bipedal feline Pokémon. It is likely based on the nekomata, a mystical twin-tailed cat creature of Japanese folklore. Meowstic's fur is deep blue and white in color. Meowstic's folded ears resemble cat ears, being sharp and conical; but when unfurled, Meowstic's ears are actually quite long, similar in appearance to rabbit ears. Meowstic's folded ears are similar to those of a Scottish Fold cat. Beneath its folded ears, Meowstic hides luminous eye-shaped glands from which it releases extremely powerful psychokinetic attacks. When unfolding its ears and releasing its contained psychic powers, Meowstic's eyes glow brightly and its pupils seem to disappear.



Male and female Meowstic seem to be completely inverse of each other; the male Meowstic is mainly deep blue-colored with some white patches, while the female Meowstic is mainly white-colored with some deep blue patches. Meowstic's tails also differ in appearance depending on its gender: the male form has long upright fluffy tails, while the female form has shorter curled tails.

Gender differences
Male and Female Meowstic differ in many ways including looks in which the male has more blue slicked and slightly spiked fur while the female has more white fur with curls, looking much like the inverse of colors that the male is. Male and Female Meowstic actually learn much different move sets, males learn more supportive and battle effecting moves while females mostly learn all out attacking moves.

Evolution
Meowstic evolves from Espurr, starting at level 25.
