PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Confusion is the preferred fast move for offense, benefiting from STAB.
• Sucker Punch lacks STAB and doesn't suit Meowstic's role.
• Psychic benefits from STAB and allows Meowstic to fulfill a Psychic-type role. 
• Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, and Magical Leaf don't suit Meowstic.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Confusion is preferred for defense due to its significantly stronger base power. 
• Magical Leaf is also a strong option, but not quite as strong.
• Sucker Punch is inferior on defense due to its lesser defensive damage output. 
• Psychic benefits from STAB and is the hardest to dodge, but doesn't offer any extra coverage. 
• Thunderbolt is decent on defense, but doesn't cover Meowstic's weaknesses.
• Energy Ball is the slowest charge move, and consequently the easiest to dodge.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Confusion + Any

Confusion benefits from STAB to deal significantly more damage than Sucker Punch, though the latter has a niche with its Dark-typing and slightly faster energy generation. 

Meowstic's charge moves are interestingly enough identical stat-wise (90 base power, 55 energy cost, 1.64 DPE), meaning the only difference among them are their typings and coverage. Any combination of Meowstic's charge moves can be viable depending on the format, team composition, and needed coverage. Psychic benefits from STAB and thus hits the hardest against a neutral opponent, but doesn't provide additional coverage. Thunderbolt and Energy Ball offer Electric and Grass coverage respectively, and either or both can be chosen. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1.5 / 5

Meowstic competes with various other Psychic-types in this league, making it difficult to stand out. Falling behind Hypno in bulk, charge move accessibility, and coverage (not only does Hypno have more options, but it also has Shadow Ball) means this cat is ultimately inferior. Cresselia and Uxie are also considerably bulkier with access to Grass and Electric coverage, respectively. Best to leave this cat on the bench; it gets some points for being able to fulfill a Psychic-type role if given a typing advantage, but isn't impressive by any means. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Meowstic lacks stats for Ultra League, being as fragile as Gengar, while offering much less in terms of performance. 

Master League: 0 / 5

It's cruel to send a cat to fight a dragon.
