Pokemon Trading Card: Meowth (Japanese)

This is a Japanese language Pokemon trading card featuring the character Meowth. The card has an illustration of Meowth on the upper portion, depicted in a playful stance with one paw raised. The background of the illustration is a stylized outdoor scene with shades of brown and green. Below the illustration, the card has a silver, holographic finish which changes appearance depending on the angle of light. Japanese text is present on the card, including the character's name "ニャース" (Nyarth, the Japanese name for Meowth) in the upper left corner, and text describing abilities and attacks in the center section. A number "70" and a circular symbol are visible near the name, likely indicating HP and type. Another number "20" is located in the lower right of the attack description area, likely representing damage. Small Japanese text and symbols are present along the bottom edge, likely manufacturer or copyright information. The card appears to be in good condition, though it is enclosed in a plastic sleeve which may obscure minor surface details or edge wear. The colors are vibrant and the holographic effect is clearly visible. Based on the design and text, it appears to be a card from a modern era of the Pokemon trading card game, likely within the last 10-20 years. The quality of printing appears good, with crisp lines and details.
