Alolan Persian 119/214 · Lost Thunder

Lost Thunder is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 2 November 2018. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 240 cards. Alolan Persian is 119/214, in position 119 of 240 on this checklist. Before it is 118 Alolan Meowth, and after it is 120 Umbreon. The listed rarity is Rare.

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

Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this card. The same name is on 248 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 Alolan Persian. 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 Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Persian list a different HP.

The attack Empty Threat lists 90- damage. This attack does 30 less damage times the amount of Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It looks down on everyone other than itself. Its preferred tactics are sucker punches and blindside attacks."

I keep a set binder for Lost Thunder, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Lost Thunder 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 Alolan forms, Tomokazu Komiya cards, and Meowth, Persian, and Perrserker. I still need this card.
