The gem in its forehead glows on its own! It walks with all the grace, and elegance of a proud queen. Many adore it for its sophisticated air. However, it will lash out, and scratch for little reason. Its lithe muscles allow it to walk without making a sound. It attacks in an instant. Behind its lithe, elegant appearance lies a barbaric side. It will tear apart its prey on a mere whim. 65 70 60 115 65 375 40 45 35 90 40 40 440

Its tail has a distinctive whorl at the end of it, similar to its pre-evolution Meowth. Its luxurious fur is pale tan, with the exception of its black-colored ears. Perhaps its most distinctive feature is the red jewel in the center of its forehead. Many Pokémon, particularly those with elemental powers such as Staryu have similar jewels. However, as Persian does not demonstrate any affinities to a particular element this connection can be seen as purely coincidental. Its thick whiskers are very sensitive to changes in air movements, permitting it to detect its prey on the basis of movement alone. Persian, although popular for their elegant airs, are extremely hard to raise. Underneath its refined facade is a fierce predator. It will Scratch anyone, including its trainers with little or no reason. It has been observed ripping its prey apart for no discernible reason. A useful trick to know when training Persian, is that if it is yanked by its whiskers, it becomes temporarily docile. The reason for this is unknown. It is known to hold its tail out straight if it is an experienced battler. Persian usually live in towns, and cities. They can also occasionally be found in vibrant forests. (Unconfirmed!) Its appearance is arguably more similar to Siamese cats than its namesake, while others think Persian look more like big cats such as pumas. The gem on its head can make it resemble a Carbuncle, a Latin-American mythological beast which had a jewel on its forehead. Persian's name simply refers to Persian cats. It could also be related to "purr," one sound a cat could make.
