Physical Description

There is a thick layer of skin around the Pokemon's neck, and the fur in that area is colored red, which makes it resemble a collar. On this 'collar' there is a coin attached. The ears, whiskers, legs, and the end of the tail of the Pokemon is black. The rest of the Pokemon's fur is white. They have yellow eyes.

The Coin
Maneko are born with the coin attached to them. Because of this, they are commonly believed to bring wealth to people. For that reason, this Pokemon is a highly sought out and valuable pet. While this Pokemon is fairly common, the most desired ones are ones with the Coin Collector trait. There are breeders that specialize in breeding this Pokemon with that ability specifically.

Yin/Yang
