Answer 1

Meowth-Alola @ Eviolite / Blunder Policy
Ability: Rattled
Level: 5
EVs: 196 SpA / 116 SpD / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hypnosis
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- U-turn / Thunderbolt / Water Pulse

Hypnosis to cripple an opponent, and start boosting with Nasty Plot. Dark Pulse is good STAB, U-turn allows you to pivot, Thunderbolt is coverage, and Water Pulse is weaker coverage with a chance to confuse. Eviolite makes it bulkier, and Rattled is the only good Ability Meowth-A gets in relation to this set (though Technician could be used if you do decide on Water Pulse). Eviolite increases bulk, but Blunder Policy can be used for a gimmicky strategy in conjunction with Hypnosis.

Comments

Cool! I myself gave A-Meowth Thunder and an X Accuracy, as a potential option.

X Accuracy has no affect as a held item.

Answer 2

Meowth-Alola @ Eviolite
Ability: Technician
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 196 SpA / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Icy Wind
- Shock Wave

Fast Special Sweeper. Evolite to live a couple of hits if you don't outspeed. Nasty Plot to boost, and Dark Pulse STAB. Icy Wind/Shock Wave is like a Technician-boosted BoltBeam that I thought was kinda good, workds well with coverage, as it checks threats like Vullaby and Grookey.

Have fun using this set, hope I helped! :D
