Persian 89/114 · Steam Siege

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 89/114 in Steam Siege, position 89 of 116. Before it is 88 Meowth, and after it is 90 Aipom. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on August 3, 2016. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Raid lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless. If this Pokémon evolved from Meowth during this turn, this attack does 30 more damage. Fury Swipes is another attack lists 30× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its lithe muscles allow it to walk without making a sound. It attacks in an instant."

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. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Anesaki Dynamic. I count 134 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Steam Siege set binder is where a full Steam Siege 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.
