Collector Insights

Persian is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 70 HP, appearing in the Base Set 2 from 2000. It features two attacks: Scratch, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, and Pounce, requiring three Colorless energy to strike for 30 damage. The Pounce attack has a unique effect, reducing damage by 10 if the defending Pokémon attacks Persian during the next turn, though this effect ends if either Pokémon is benched. Persian resists Psychic-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks multiplied by two. The card is illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and carries a flavor text highlighting its difficult nature as a pet, despite its appealing fur. It holds a dex number of 53 and is classified as an Uncommon rarity. The card’s regulation mark is unspecified, and it does not require retreat cost for play.

Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness.
