Pokédex entries
Persian
Red Blue | Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness. |
---|---|
Yellow | The gem in its forehead glows on its own! It walks with all the grace and elegance of a proud queen. |
Gold | Many adore it for its sophisticated air. However, it will lash out and scratch for little reason. |
Silver | Its lithe muscles allow it to walk without making a sound. It attacks in an instant. |
Crystal | Behind its lithe, elegant appearance lies a barbaric side. It will tear apart its prey on a mere whim. |
Ruby Sapphire | PERSIAN has six bold whiskers that give it a look of toughness. The whiskers sense air movements to determine what is in the POKéMON’s surrounding vicinity. It becomes docile if grabbed by the whiskers. |
FireRed | Has a vicious temperament. Beware if it raises its tail straight up. It is a signal that it is about to pounce and bite. |
LeafGreen | Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness. |
Emerald | A PERSIAN’s six bold whiskers sense air movements to determine what is in its vicinity. It becomes docile if grabbed by the whiskers. |
Diamond Pearl Platinum | A very haughty Pokémon. Among fans, the size of the jewel in its forehead is a topic of much talk. |
HeartGold | Many adore it for its sophisticated air. However, it will lash out and scratch for little reason. |
SoulSilver | Its lithe muscles allow it to walk without making a sound. It attacks in an instant. |

Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire | Persian has six bold whiskers that give it a look of toughness. The whiskers sense air movements to determine what is in the Pokémon’s surrounding vicinity. It becomes docile if grabbed by the whiskers. |
Sun | It has a violent temperament. It will attack anything that looks it in the eye. Its sharp claws inflict deep wounds. |
Moon | It has a high opinion of itself, although not to the same extent as the Alolan Persian. It’s quite difficult to make friends with this Pokémon. |
Ultra Sun | Although the jewel on its forehead appears to be a different color than those of Alolan Persian, it’s mostly made of the same material. |
Ultra Moon | This Pokémon is popular with rich people. It’s also targeted by hunters who are after the jewel in its forehead. |
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee | The gem in its forehead glows on its own! It walks with all the grace and elegance of a proud queen. |
Sword | Getting this prideful Pokémon to warm up to you takes a lot of effort, and it will claw at you the moment it gets annoyed. |
Shield | Its elegant and refined behavior clashes with that of the barbaric Perrserker. The relationship between the two is one of mutual disdain. |
Alolan Persian
Sun | Its round face and smooth coat—softer than the most high-class velvet—have made this a very popular Pokémon in Alola. |
---|---|
Moon | It looks down on everyone other than itself. Its preferred tactics are sucker punches and blindside attacks. |
Ultra Sun | In contrast to its lovely face, it’s so brutal that it tortures its weakened prey rather than finishing them off. |
Ultra Moon | Its round face is a symbol of wealth. Persian that have bigger, plumper faces are considered more beautiful. |
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee | It has the classiest coat. The rippling of its fur in the heat of battle has a beauty all its own. |
Sword | The round face of Alolan Persian is considered to be a symbol of prosperity in the Alola region, so these Pokémon are very well cared for. |
Shield | This Pokémon is one tough opponent. Not only does it have formidable physical abilities, but it’s also not above fighting dirty. |
