Persian (ペルシアンPersian) is a Normal-type Pokémon. It is the evolved form of Meowth, which evolves into Persian by leveling up to Level 28. It is seen in the Anime as The Ex Viridian gym leader/Team rocket leader Giovanni's Pokémon alway's at his side; it is never seen in battle, so it is assumed to be a more of pet then a battle Pokémon.
Appearance
Persian resembles a large cat. Its fur is beige in color, and it has a curly tail. There is also a small, red gem on its forehead, which is said to give the Pokémon power. The Persian is named after the Persian breed of cat, although it resembles a cougar, with a yellowish white fur color. It may possibly an albino cougar. Another possibility is that it is based on a siamese cat. It also has a beige coloring and black ears much like persian.
Special Abilities

Anime
In the anime, Giovanni owns a Persian. This Persian is often found near Giovanni during his discussions with other Team Rocket members.
