>>40667274It's a new Pokémon. Its name is Perserker and it and the new Galarian variant of Meowth are both pure Steel-type. It's because they have horns on their head. This type of Meowth has been hanging around pirates presumably because it desires the riches they steal, hence why it turns into a viking goblin monstrosity with a beard (Like a pirate beard). It doesn't have a Persian equivalent, it just evolves to that form right after the first one. Perserker is like Obstagoon in that its technically a new Pokémon and a new Generation IV style evolution for an older Pokémon, like the Galarian Zigzagoon line.
