# Galarian Meowth (Japanese) #040 — S1W: Sword

## Summary

Galarian Meowth sits in the common slot of Japanese Sword, which makes it bulk by rarity and a charming piece of Galar flavour by nature. It reached Japanese shelves in December 2019, two months ahead of the same card in the English Sword & Shield base set. The Japanese version shows the steel-type cat snarling with claws out against a bright, icy blue backdrop, so a pack pull still feels worth a look. A $0.50 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
