Where it came from
The Alolan Meowth card was released in 2017 as part of a promotional set distributed exclusively through McDonald's restaurants in North America. This particular collection was designed to tie in with the broader Pokémon Sun and Moon promotional campaign, which introduced the Alolan regional variants of classic Generation I Pokémon. The card features the distinct regional design of Meowth, characterized by its dark fur and mischievous expression, reflecting the creative pivot toward tropical-themed aesthetics within the franchise during that era.
The illustration was crafted by artist Tomokazu Komiya, whose signature expressionist style—defined by textured, crayon-like linework and vibrant, unconventional coloring—is highly recognizable among trading card game enthusiasts. While the 2017 McDonald's collection was intended primarily as a mass-market promotional tool to engage younger fans, the inclusion of Komiya's unique artistic perspective ensured the card maintained aesthetic interest beyond its utilitarian purpose as a quick-play item for the promotional fast-food decks.
