Trivia
- The Nintendo Power insert erroneously states that Dark Persian is a Basic Pokémon.
- The Japanese version of the Wizards of the Coast promotional print has the face of Giovanni as the background image instead of a holographic pattern.
Origin
Fascinate and Tempt's Japanese names are that of Captivate, a move later introduced in the Generation IV Pokémon games that Persian can learn.
