Meowscarada is one of the premier non-Mega mons in singles, sitting at 19.59% usage in the 1760 bracket (rank 7) and 19.53% overall. Its Smogon tier is A+ (S- on Photon's re-rank) and GameWith rates it SS. Base Speed 123 makes it one of the fastest mons in the format, and Protean gives every move STAB, further amplifying its offensive profile. It appears 33 times in top-300 ladder squads and 34 times in tournament records, reflecting consistent competitive impact.
Playstyle:The dominant set is Choice Scarf (77.6%) with Protean (86.1%), running Jolly or Adamant with max Attack and Speed. Core moves are Flower Trick (ignores Def boosts, always crits), U-turn (scouting and momentum), Knock Off (item removal), and Triple Axel (Ice coverage for Dragons). Expert notes state: 'Flower Trick ignores defense boosts and crits through bulk, Knock Off/U-turn utility, Sucker Punch on sash sets. Protean flexibility.' A Focus Sash variant with Sucker Punch exists for priority finishing, and Shadow Ball coverage handles Aegislash.
Meowscarada sits at 2.39% usage in doubles at 1760 rating (rank 45) and 2.73% overall, making it a niche pick in the doubles format. Its doubles win rate of 50.4% sits near neutral. Tournament appearances total 34—same as singles—suggesting it sees selective use rather than broad dominance. The doubles metagame's team-based dynamics limit its solo-carry potential.
Playstyle:In doubles, Focus Sash (47.7%) and Choice Scarf (46.9%) are nearly equally split. Adamant nature with max Attack and Speed is the primary spread. Core moves are Flower Trick, Knock Off, Triple Axel, and Protect (12.4%), with Sucker Punch (11.5%) for priority pressure in doubled-up situations. Top partners are Basculegion (11.7%), Charizard-Mega-Y (7.2%), and Sneasler (7%), indicating a fast-aggression team structure where Meowscarada leads or dashes in to remove key threats.
