Dark Persian 6/110 · Legendary Collection

Legendary Collection is a set in the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. Dark Persian is 6/110, in position 6 of 110 on this checklist. Before it is 5 Dark Dragonite, and after it is 7 Dark Raichu. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Dark Persian is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 28. In the Pokédex this is Persian (#053), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Meowth. In this catalog that name is Meowth (#052).

Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 other cards in the catalog.

Persian (#053) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Persian 42/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Persian, while this one is Dark Persian. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this one. 31 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

The attack Fascinate lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and switch it with the Defending Pokémon. This attack can't be used if your opponent has no Benched Pokémon. Poison Claws is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. The flavor text reads "Popular with women because of its beautiful fur. The leader of the Rockets keeps one as a pet."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Persian can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
