'''Persian''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペルシアン''' ''Persian'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
'''Persian''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペルシアン''' ''Persian'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meowth}} starting at [[level]] 28.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meowth}} starting at [[level]] 28.


==Biology==
In [[Alola]], Persian has a {{type|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Meowth when leveled up with high [[friendship]].
Persian is a large, quadruped, 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 retractible claws. Persian's lithe muscles also enable it to walk without making a sound.


Persian normally lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|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 a Persian is yanked by its whiskers, it becomes temporarily docile for unknown reasons.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)

Persian is a large, quadrupedal, {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. 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.
===Major appearances===
====[[Giovanni's Persian]]====
{{an|Giovanni}} has a Persian that is his primary Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. While it is almost always seen at his side, it was only seen battling once. Meowth of Team Rocket seems to be its "rival" as Giovanni's "top cat."


====Other====
Persian normally lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|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 {{p|Perrserker}} is one of mutual disdain, as Persian's refined and elegant personality clashes with Perrserker's barbaric nature. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Persian is known to clean and groom itself even when asleep.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Even when asleep, Persian maintains its striking and haughty expression.
A Persian that was the leader of a pack of street Meowth (which {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} was also once part of) appeared in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth!]]''.


Ash battled a Persian in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss-Match]]''. The Classy Cat Pokémon was taken out by [[Ash's Squirtle]] after hitting it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
Persian and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Pay Day}} by leveling up.


In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'', [[Tyson's Meowth]] defeated a Persian owned by a girl named [[Vivica]] during the preliminaries of the [[Ever Grande Conference]].
===Forms===
Persian has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Persian.


A Persian also appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' battling the [[Genesect Army]] at [[Pokémon Hills]].
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.


===Minor appearances===
In [[Generation IX]], Alolan Persian is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Fur Coat}} as an [[Ability]].
In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', Cassandra's grandmother found a Persian sleeping in the backyard. She decided that it, and not Meowth, should be Cassandra's company mascot.


A Persian appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' where it participated in [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|a Pokémon breeding competition]].

==Trivia==
* Persian's {{v2|Crystal}} still sprite is different from that of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in [[Generation II]].
* Persian's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] are the same: 053.

Its appearance is arguably more similar to {{wp|Siamese (cat)|Siamese cats}} than {{wp|Persian (cat)|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 {{wp|Puma (genus)|Puma}}s. The gem on its head makes it resemble a {{wp|Carbuncle (mythology)|Carbuncle}}, a Latin-American mythological beast which had a jewel on its forehead.
Despite its namesake, Persian appears to be more based on large cats such as {{wp|leopard}}s and {{wp|cougar}}s than {{wp|Persian cat}}s.

The gem on its head makes it resemble a {{wp|Carbuncle (mythology)|Carbuncle}}, a Latin American mythological beast that had a jewel on its forehead.
 
Unlike Kantonian 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 {{wp|British Shorthair}}, an imported breed known well for its large and rounded head and pronounced 'smile', which the breed developed through artificial selection as part of the process of developing its pedigree. Its blue jewel and gray fur may be a visual pun on the "British Blue" color variant. Due to its large head and mannerisms, it may also be a visual pun on the term of being "big-headed".

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.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

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. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Persian is known to clean and groom itself even when asleep.[1] Even when asleep, Persian maintains its striking and haughty expression.

Persian and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Pay Day by leveling up.

Forms

Persian has a regional form: Alolan Persian.

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.

In Generation IX, Alolan Persian is the only known Pokémon that can have Fur Coat as an Ability.

Evolution

Persian evolves from Meowth.

Alolan Persian evolves from Alolan Meowth.

Trivia

Origin

Despite its namesake, Persian appears to be more based on large cats such as leopards and cougars than Persian cats. It also appears similar to Siamese cats and its species in Japanese is シャムネコ or "shamuneko" meaning "Siamese Cat". The gem on its head makes it resemble a Carbuncle, a Latin American mythological beast that had a jewel on its forehead.

Unlike Kantonian 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 and pronounced 'smile', which the breed developed through artificial selection as part of the process of developing its pedigree. Its blue jewel and gray fur may be a visual pun on the "British Blue" color 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 may refer to Persian cats or possibly Persian leopards. It could also be related to purr, the onomatopoeia for the noise a cat makes when content.
