I'll skip the drooling.

HP: 100. Strong for a Stage One. It will be around for a while.

Night Cry: Great for a Rocket deck. In any format. So its use is linear.

Toxic Claws: Great cheap effect, but a might costly with three energies but with the Night Cry power, it's a benchwarmer until ready to use.

Energy cost: Fits anywhere, which is the point.

Retreat Cost: One, a surprise as Persian are known for speed but one is low enough.

Overall: A perfect benchwarmer for a Rocket deck, and given Rocket's Meowth's usefulness, it is a quite viable card to insert in a deck by itself, complete with the sneaky Toxic Claws. But the lowish HP can be draining in time. 7/10.

This thing does better on the bench than it would as a constant attacker.

Maybe I just love Dark muk? DARK MUK! BLER!

Well, yeah, it's a benchwarmer but don't underestimate Toxic Claws, it's a lovely way to get around certain powers and effects, like in Unlimited.

If that still exists. Heh.

It's just that energy cost is a might too much.
