Pokédex entries
| 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. |
| Black White Black 2 White 2 | A very haughty Pokémon. Among fans, the size of the jewel in its forehead is a topic of much talk. |
| X | Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness. |
| Y | 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. |
