Does Meowth know Bite? If so, then it can use Blackhole Eclipse.
I believe Meowth's moves are Scratch, Fury Swipes, Walk like Human, Talk like Human.

Staying true to the games is now bad lol. If Team Skull were competent I'd be pretty mad, that's most of the appeal gone if the grunts are not taking L's constantly.
so....team rocket technically cleared a trial? mimikyu defeated totem raticate.
It was a big flaw in the games. TS just was poorly handled, even as a plot device to hide the AF as the real villains. They did nothing and their behavior and they never were a real threat in the games, which they sadly reflected in today's episode. Maybe they could improve them like they improved TF in XYZ? It wouldn't be as bad if they would push their or AF plans forward in the future more decently. That's my problem and what I am hoping right now, not for the writer to do the same flaws like in the games.
It being a flaw is subjective though, given that Team Skull were never meant to be more than failure trainers who turned into troublemaking rebels. Turning any of them aside from their leaders into remotely competent villains would undermine the whole point of them. While Team Flare's plan was marginally different in the anime, they were still essentially the same in their methods and goals (i.e. use the power of a Legendary pokemon to enact a worldwide genocide that would allow them to inherit the world).They did nothing and their behaviour and they never were a real threat in the games, which they sadly reflected in today's episode.

Regarding Ash, although him learning the steel Z move could be foreshadowing something, there's no steel type trial or kahuna, since the steel Z crystal is given by Molayne. Who knows maybe Olivia might give it instead.
There's really only been 1 Trial so far. And they usually follow the order from the games, so the Water Trial is probably still next.
My point is that as far as handing out Z-crystals they aren't following the games all that well. Darkinium Z is now apparently on Melemele Island behind a Totem Raticate, and Kiawe got his Firium Z from Olivia even though in the games she gives out Rockium Z. They also gave away Electrium Z instead of Fightium Z for defeating Hala (although Tapu Koko was the source of that, but the point still stands). I don't think we should be expecting the rest of the trials to suddenly start following the games flawlessly. And truth be told, I don't want them to. There are several Z-crystals which were just botched into the game without even a trial, like Flynium Z, Icium Z, Psychium Z, and some others, and I hope they do them at least a bit more justice in the anime.

That seems to be an exception. Kiawe battled Olivia to prove he was worthy of his grandfather's (a former Kahuna) Firium-Z and Z-Ring. We can't assume Olivia would have rewarded any other Island Challenger with anything other than Rockium-Z.
remember Hala had other Z-crystals in storage, Olivia could too.
It makes me wonder though, since Mimikyu seems so strong that it defeated a totem really easily, it might be a totem pokemon itself.
It amuses me how Mimikyu's Wood Hammer looks like a Ghost move because of the murky aura surrounding it... But I guess this thing is suppose to be seen as an equal to Pikachu considering both have defeated Totem Pokemon
Wouldn't it be bigger if it was Totem Mimikyu? Also, how is that gonna work when they get to the Abandoned Mega Mart?
