Persian-GX is a Stage 1 GX Colorless Pokémon with 200 HP. 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).

PLANETA Igarashi illustrated this card. The same name is on 41 other cards in the catalog.

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 is named Persian, while this one is Persian-GX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo GX. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and PLANETA Igarashi illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

Cat Walk is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), if 1 of your Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX was Knocked Out during your opponent's last turn, you may search your deck for up to 2 cards and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck. You can't use more than 1 Cat Walk Ability each turn. The attack Vengeance lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 more damage for each Pokémon in your discard pile. You can't add more than 180 damage in this way. Slash Back-GX is another attack lists 150 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Unbroken Bonds, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Unbroken Bonds 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 Meowth, Persian, and Perrserker. I still need this card.
