Attacks

  • Scratch

    Colorless · Colorless · 20 damage

  • Pounce

    Colorless · Colorless · Colorless · 30 damage

    If the Defending Pokémon attacks Persian during your next turn, any damage done by the attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)

“Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness.”
