Here we have a set of Pokemon Variants which I’m actually quite proud of in terms of their development.
The Poison type Meowth/Persian are based upon the Sphynx cat. A hairless breed of cat that I see get teased a lot for being… Well, as hairless and wrinkly as an old man scrotum. I actually really like Sphynx cats, lel. The basic lore for this Variant as that they came to be as a result of human error mixing with the wilderness to create mutations.
The city these Variants come from was once flourishing. Full of humans. Full of Pokemon. Wild Meowth roamed the streets in packs, able to live comfortably on all of the trash found in this highly populated settlement. However, a catastrophic event took place; resulting in humans fleeing, and wild Pokemon being left to deal with the consequences. The city fell to ruin, and became heavily polluted with radiation and various other forms of toxic waste.
Pokemon able to quickly escape this environment did so. Pokemon who preferred this now toxic landscape moved in. The Meowth, who were not quite as equipped to make the long trip to the next inhabitable city, were left with few options. Move out into the wilderness to face the dangers there, or stay home and hope for the best. These toxic variants are the descendants of those Meowth and Persians who chose to remain in the polluted city; where they slowly adapted to their toxic environment.
They adapted to the point of being able to utilize it. The eggs of this Pokemon do not develop properly unless constantly exposed to toxins. These toxins seep through the shell, absorbing into the developing Pokemon; and are utilized as weapons after hatching. Toxic oils are secreted by the variants skin, deterring most would-be predators. Exposure to Poison-Based attacks only boost their toxic abilities, granting them greater endurance in battle.
The unfortunate side effect of this adaptation, relates to their obvious lack of hair. The toxic oils secreted by their skin, paired with the horrific pollution of their environment, resulted in each generation of Meowth being born with less and less hair. The current generation now sports hairs so short and thin, that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Mix this with their naturally oily bodies, and you wind up with a Poison type Pokemon that can squeeze through the tightest of spaces. They are also surprisingly pleasant to the touch.
This Variant has also completely abandoned what has long been known as the signature move of the breed. This form of Meowth cannot learn the move “Payday”, nor does its evolved form. Rather, this Variant appears to have developed a new signature move entirely. The move, currently to be known as “Corrosive Armor”, falls under the poison type category. When used, extremely potent toxins are secreted from the Pokemon’s skin in high amounts; covering them in what would appear to be a green slime.
This slime is so corrosive, that it can eat through metal. This move appears to serve a primarily defensive purpose, discouraging larger and stronger Pokemon from trying to attack them. A secondary side effect of this, however, results in the Pokemon being able to cause high amounts of damage through physical contact. Until the effects of Corrosive Armor wear off, the Meowth/Persian is noted as having a sharp boost in its special attack and defense; with guarantee of poisoning any Foe which comes into contact with them.
Not even Steel type, who are noted as being immune to Poison type attacks, suffer damage when exposed to this highly corrosive mixture of toxins. Through the development of this signature move, the Toxic Variant of Meowth/Persian have uncovered a means of poisoning Steel type Pokemon, and Pokemon whom carry abilities making them immune to Poison.
This species is currently noted as being incredibly dangerous when not handled correctly. Lack of exposure to humans has also made them dangerous to try and capture, as they appear to view humans more as predators than they do potential friends and battle partners. However; it would appear that these Pokemon are vain. Finding pride in their wrinkly and naked appearance. They are confirmed to understand human speech, base upon studies which confirm consistent reactions to being called “Beautiful” and “Ugly”.
Best means of getting on the good side of this Pokemon is to compliment their… Unique form of beauty.

Additional stuff:
Signature move - Corrosive Armor. When use in battle, the Pokemon coats itself with an highly toxic compound, which dramatically boosts its special attack and defense stats. For the following 3-5 turns, any Pokemon which makes contact with the user is guaranteed to be left badly poisoned, so long as they are not another Poison-type Meowth/Persian. Even Steel type Pokemon, and Pokemon otherwise immune to Poison-type effects are effected by this move.
Abilities: Toxic Adaptation - This Pokemon is inherently immune to Poison-type attacks, and has a 25% chance of recovering a Power Point when attacked with a Poison-type move.
