Persian 102/147 · Burning Shadows

Persian is Pokédex #053, generation 1 (Kanto). Persian is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Meowth. In this catalog that name is Meowth (#052).

Persian sits at 102/147 in Burning Shadows, position 106 of 177. Before it is 101 Meowth, and after it is 103 Porygon. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 5, 2017. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 177 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Screech lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your next turn, the Defending Pokémon takes 60 more damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Slash is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It has a violent temperament. It will attack anything that looks it in the eye. Its sharp claws inflict deep wounds."

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 lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Sekio illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sekio. I count 72 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Burning Shadows set binder is where a full Burning Shadows 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.
