Persian (Japanese: ペルシアン Persian) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Meowth starting at level 28.

In Alola, Persian has a Dark-type regional form. It evolves from Alolan Meowth when leveled up with high friendship. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it evolves from Alolan Meowth starting at level 28.

Biology

Persian is a large, quadrupedal, feline Pokémon. Its fur is pale tan with the exception of its black-rimmed ears. It has a short muzzle with a small, black nose, red eyes with slit pupils, rounded ears, a pair of pointed teeth in its upper jaw, and three whiskers on either side of its face. Its thick whiskers are very sensitive to changes in air movements, enabling it to detect its prey by movement alone. In the center of its forehead is a red jewel. Its long tail has a distinctive curl at the end. Persian communicates with body language and holds its tail upright to signal its intention to pounce. It has long legs and three-toed paws with retractable claws. Persian's lithe muscles also enable it to walk without making a sound.

Persian normally lives in towns and cities. Although popular for its elegance, it is extremely difficult to raise as a pet due to its fickle and temperamental personality. It will scratch anyone, including its Trainer, with little or no provocation, and has been observed ripping its prey apart for no discernible reason. However, when Persian is yanked by its whiskers, it becomes temporarily docile for unknown reasons. It is popular among rich people and is targeted by hunters for its jewel. Its relationship with Perrserker is one of mutual disdain, as Persian's refined and elegant personality clashes with Perrserker's barbaric nature. In the past, Pay Day was its signature move.

Alolan Persian has a body that is similar to its regular counterpart, but it has blue-gray fur. Its face has a different shape, being larger and more rounded with noticeable jowls. This distinctive face, along with its high-class softer-than-velvet fur coat, is admired by the people of Alola. Its eyes are usually in a half-closed state, and instead of a red forehead jewel, it has a blue jewel. The jewel, though different in appearance, is made of mostly the same material the one on a regular Persian. In behavior, it is described as highly intelligent and having an even higher opinion of itself. It prefers to use underhanded tactics in battle, but its haughty personality causes it to underestimate opponents.

Major appearances

Giovanni's Persian

Giovanni has a Persian as his primary Pokémon. It first appeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne, which also marked the species' debut. While it is almost always seen at his side, it was only seen battling once, though it proved itself to be an extremely powerful opponent. Meowth seems to be its "rival" as Giovanni's "top cat".

Pershie

A Madame owns an Alolan Persian nicknamed Pershie, which first appeared in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!‬. It has a tendency to chase smaller Pokémon such as Ash's Litten, Sandy, and Lana's Popplio.

Other

In Go West, Young Meowth!, a Persian was the leader of a pack of street Meowth that Team Rocket's Meowth was once part of.

In The Mandarin Island Miss-Match, Ash battled a Trainer's Persian, and it was eventually defeated by Squirtle's Skull Bash.

In Saved by the Beldum!, Vivica owns a Persian. Tyson's Meowth quickly defeated it during the preliminaries of the Ever Grande Conference, but it continued to attack Persian in a fit of rage before being recalled.

Moon It looks down on everyone other than itself. Its preferred tactics are sucker punches and blindside attacks.

Ultra Moon Its round face is a symbol of wealth. Persian that have bigger, plumper faces are considered more beautiful.
Let's Go Pikachu It has the classiest coat. The rippling of its fur in the heat of battle has a beauty all its own.

Sword The round face of Alolan Persian is considered to be a symbol of prosperity in the Alola region, so these Pokémon are very well cared for.
Shield This Pokémon is one tough opponent. Not only does it have formidable physical abilities, but it's also not above fighting dirty.

Trivia

  • Persian's number in the National Pokédex and the Alola Pokédex in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the same: 053.

Origin

Persian's appearance seems to be more similar to Siamese cats than its namesake, Persian cats, and its species in Japanese is シャムネコ or "shamuneko" meaning "Siamese Cat". It is also similar to large wild cats such as pumas. The gem on its head makes it resemble a Carbuncle, a Latin-American fake beast beast that had a jewel on its forehead.

Unlike the normal Persian, Alolan Persian appears to be based more on domestic cats that underwent selective breeding, specifically those owned by royalty. In particular, its appearance greatly resembles a British Shorthair, an imported breed known well for its large and rounded head, which developed as a consequence of inbreeding due to isolation from other cats. Its jewel color may be a visual pun on the "British Blue" variant. Due to its large head and mannerisms, it may also be a visual pun on the term of being "big headed".

Name origin

Persian refers to Persian cats. It could also be related to purr, the onomatopoeia for the noise a cat makes when content.
