Meowstic (Japanese: ニャオニクス, HepburnNyaonikusu) (MYOW-stik[1]) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology[]

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. When folded, its sharp, conical ears resemble cat ears, but when unfurled, Meowstic's ears are very 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.

Meowstic unfurling its folded ears, revealing its eye-shaped psychic glands.

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. Their eyes are also different; a male Meowstic has a light green sclera and dark green irises, whereas female Meowstic have yellow scelera and red irises. 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.

Shiny Meowstic swap all of their blue fur for yellow regardless of gender; the eye color remains the same.

Gender differences[]

Male and female Meowstic are inverses of each other-whereas the males have short, spiky dark blue fur with white accents, females have long, curled white fur with dark blue accents. Eye color is also dependent on gender-males have green eyes, females yellow.

Behavior[]

Meowstic are very calm and stoic Pokémon, seldom showing their emotions to their trainers. They utilize their psychic abilities to protect themselves or to levitate out of harm’s way. However, when angered, they lose control over their immense power.

Unlike their pre-evolution Espurr, Meowstic can control their power more easily. The energy is most concentrated in the eyeball patterns on their ears, which they keep closed because the power is still incredibly hard to control.

The two genders of Meowstic appear to have different temperaments. While the majority of males are calmer and more protective, altruistically defending their companions, most females are rather cold, callous, and capricious to the degree of selfishly and aggressively punishing others with their psychic powers if they don't get what they want or are angered. Despite their unfriendliness, they are still considered very charming by many Trainers.

Natural abilities[]

Meowstic have extremely potent psychic powers that can disintegrate something as powerful as a tanker, as a means of protecting themselves from potential threats. Their powers are concentrated in the eyelike glands in their ears, and upon unfolding their ears, they are able to release psychic energy powerful enough to destroy a ten-ton truck. However, continuous usage of their psychic powers can damage their bodies.

Evolution[]

Meowstic evolves from Espurr starting at level 25.

Pokédex entries[]

  • X

    When in danger, it raises its ears and releases enough psychic power to grind a 10-ton truck into dust.

  • Y

    The eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense.

  • Omega Ruby

    When in danger, it raises its ears and releases enough psychic power to grind a 10-ton truck into dust.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    The eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense.

  • Sword

    Male: Revealing the eyelike patterns on the insides of its ears will unleash its psychic powers. It normally keeps the patterns hidden, however.
    Female: Females are a bit more selfish and aggressive than males. If they don't get what they want, they will torment you with their psychic abilities.

  • Shield

    Male: The defensive instinct of the males is strong. It's when they're protecting themselves or their partners that they unleash their full power.
    Female: If it doesn't hold back when it unleashes its psychic power, it can tear apart a tanker. Its unfriendliness is part of its charm.

Trivia[]

  • The female variant of Meowstic vaguely resembles Miraitowa (the Tokyo 2020 Olympic mascot) due to its white, bipedal body with dark blue markings and large head with long pointy ears.
    • Additionally, one of the most well-known female Meowstic users (Olympia), has a name that is spelt almost identically to Olympic(s) and other similar words and is sometimes associated with the Olympics, Miraitowa's media of origin.

Origin[]

Meowstic is based on a Scottish Fold cat-its own ears are especially reminiscent of the breed’s distinctive folded ears. It may also be based on the nekomata of Japanese mythology, cats that gain supernatural abilities once they grow older and their tail splits. Nekomata are also said to stand on two legs like a human and sometimes wear handkerchiefs on their heads, similarly to Meowstic's upright appearance and hair, respectively.

Etymology[]

Meowstic comes from meow and mystic.

Its Japanese name, Nyaonikusu, comes from ニャ (nya, "meow") and psionics.
