If you purchase or receive Pokémon Sword or Shield within the first two months of release, you’ll have the chance to download a very special Meowth as an early purchase bonus.
You will only be able to download this Meowth between Friday, November 15, 2019 and Wednesday, January 15, 2020.
What makes this Meowth special and worth downloading is that it has the ability to Gigantamax.

How to get the special Meowth in Pokémon Sword and Shield
There are two important things you should know before downloading Meowth.
The first is that you can only download this Meowth once, so make sure you don’t trade or release it by accident.
The second is that you will only be able to download this Meowth between Friday, November 15, 2019 and Wednesday, January 15, 2020.
If you miss this download window, you won’t be able to add this special Meowth to your Pokémon team.
When you are ready to download Meowth, make sure you are connected to the Internet.
Below we outline the steps you must complete to receive the special Meowth:
- Activate Pokémon Sword or Shield.
- Start playing and open the X menu.
- In the X menu, select the “Mystery Gift” option.
- Now, select the “Get a Mystery Gift” option from this menu.
- Next, select the “Get over the Internet” option.
- Your Nintendo Switch will now connect to the Internet. When they appear, follow the instructions to select Meowth and download it.
Access Mystery Gift from the X menu, then select “Get a Mystery Gift” followed by “Get over the Internet.”
Make sure you save your game after downloading Meowth, because if you don’t, you will lose your Meowth.
Once you’ve downloaded Meowth, you can find it in your Pokémon pool or, if it’s full, in one of the boxes on your computer.

Meowth Gigantamax’s special ability in Pokémon Sword and Shield explained
This Meowth is special for two reasons.
The first is that it is the Kanto variant of Meowth, which cannot be caught in the wild in the Galar region. The only way to receive it in-game is to trade with an NPC you encounter during your travels.
The second is that this Meowth has the ability to Gigantamax.
Only some Pokémon have the ability to Gigantamax, which allows Pokémon to grow in size and increase their power.
In their Gigantamax form, Pokémon also gain the ability to use a special G-Max move, which is exclusive to them.
The long cat Meowth is long.
This special Meowth will allow you to experiment with the Gigantamax ability from the beginning of the game.
The downside, however, is that this Meowth cannot evolve, so trading and then evolving a Kanto Meowth is the only way to find a Kanto Persian in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
