Meowth is an underrated Pokemon. Regulated to an evil side character, the greatness is often diminished by the trivial Pikachu an electric Pokemon who lacks the eminence of Meowth. In this essay, I will show how Meowth is better than Pikachu. First by his intelligence, then by his perseverance, and by his ability to pull himself from his depressed situation.

First of all Meowth is smarter than Pikachu. This is shown by his complex and intricate machines that have manged to capture multiple Pokemon. He shows greater intelligence than other humans in the show. He relies on his intelligence to defeat his enemies, while incompetent Pikachu cannot do anything without the urging of his masters. While Meowth does not have to rely on anything, Pikachu cannot act independently. He is on of the few Pokemon who can talk without telepathy, which he taught himself. Pikachu can only speak incoherently and in gibberrish.

Second Meowth has much perseverance. This is shown by his willingness to keep fighting for over 10 seasons for what he wants. Pikachu is a weakling who gives up in a short amount of time. Meowth never stops when it comes to getting what he wants even when it came to him being starving and homeless.

Last but not Least, it is ability to pull himself up from his circumstances. Before joining Team Rocket he was living on the streets of Tinseltown. He had been abandoned as a kitten and was left to provide for himself, often violently rejected by people for trying to steal food. He brought himself using sheer willpower unlike spoiled, spoon fed Pikachu.

In conclusion, Meowth is better than Pikachu because of his intelligence, perseverance, and him being able to bring himself from his circumstances. Meowth is a character worth fighting for and repeatedly ups the yellow-faced little brat known as Pikachu.
