Persian 148/214 · Unbroken Bonds

Persian is Pokédex #053, generation 1 (Kanto). Persian is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Meowth. In this catalog that name is Meowth (#052).

Persian sits at 148/214 in Unbroken Bonds, position 148 of 238. Before it is 147 Meowth, and after it is 149 Persian-GX. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on May 3, 2019. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 238 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Gathering of Cats is listed as Ability. Ignore all Energy in the attack costs of each of your Pokémon in play that has the Caturday attack. The attack Claw Slash lists 90 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. The flavor text reads "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."

Persian (#053) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 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 lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. 31 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Unbroken Bonds set binder is where a full Unbroken Bonds set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Persian can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
