# Meowth (Japanese) #039 — Random Constructed Starter Decks (Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise)

## Summary

Japan received this Meowth in March 2004, about six months ahead of the English FireRed & LeafGreen set that carries the same card. It came through the Random Constructed Starter Decks built around Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, a product made to play, which makes clean copies of this Japanese Meowth harder to find than a pack card from the era. As a humble Basic, it offers a pleasant slice of early PCG history. The modelled guide sits at $15 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
