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 regional variant that is Dark-type. It evolves from Alolan Meowth when leveled up with high friendship.
Biology
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 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. In the past, Pay Day was its signature move.
Alolan Persian has a body that is similar to its regular counterpart, but is grey-blue in color. Its face, however, has a different shape, being larger and more rounded with noticeable jowls. This distinctive face 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. In behavior, it is described as highly intelligent and having an even higher opinion of itself. It uses underhanded tactics in battle, but its haughty personality causes it to underestimate opponents.

Major appearances
Giovanni's Persian

In Saved by the Beldum!, Tyson's Meowth defeated a Persian owned by a girl named Vivica during the preliminaries of the Ever Grande Conference.
A Persian also appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened battling the Genesect Army at Pokémon Hills.
A Trainer's Alolan Persian, nicknamed Pershie (Japanese ペルちゃん Per-chan), made its debut in That's Why the Litten is a Scamp! where it stopped Litten and attacked it but was later defeated in a rematch.
Minor appearances
In 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.
