I think "Purrsion" might have been what Nintendo was originally going for, but someone else probably has that trademark locked down.Oof, This makes a pretty good case for why original Persian was a sensible design choice, since maintaining the juvenile Meowth’s large head leaves it feeling a little off. Persian's name is of course based on the real-life Persian Cat - even if Persian actually doesn't look anything like a real Persian Cat. Origin: Not one of the more original Pokemon names.

A Fighting type should of course be your top choice, but as long as you stay away from Flying, Ground, Fire and Water Pokemon, any type should be safe. When you're going up against Persian, note that it can't learn certain attack types, such as Grass, Ground, Fire or Psychic attacks. It can take quite a while to beat a high-level Persian unless the attacking Pokemon has higher stats - so use status-altering techniques, like Sleep or Poison.

My advice is to teach your Persian a variety of different attack types so that your opponent doesn't know what to expect. Slash (which it learns at level 51) is a decent Normal attack, but it's nowhere near as powerful as moves like Thunder or Strength. Sadly, just like Meowth, this elegant cat doesn't learn many good attacks. Like Meowth, it's got high HP and Speed stats, making it difficult to knock out Persian with a Pokemon of the same level (unless it's faster and has equally high HP). Tips: Persian, Meowth's more powerful evolved state, can be a tough opponent.

Locations: Persian does not appear in the wild in any of the three games, but you can evolve one from a Meowth at level 28. The gem on its forehead glows on its own! It walks with all the grace and elegance of a proud queen.
