PERSIAN Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Slash Hyper Beam Body SlamMimic Bubblebeam Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Slash Has a high critical hit ratio. Normal 70 100% Hyper Beam In Stadium, the user becomes uncontrollable during its next turn. Otherwise, the user attacks on turn one but it doesn't recharge on turn two if it KOs the target, breaks its Substitute or misses entirely. Normal 150 90% Body Slam Has a ~30% chance to paralyze the target. Normal 85 100% Mimic This move is temporarily replaced by one of the target's moves; after one PP is subtracted to use this move, the replacement move will retain Mimic's remaining PP. The user can select any of the target's moves to copy until the end of the battle or until the user switches out. There are no move restrictions on Mimic other than itself and Struggle. However, in a link battle, Mimic will copy one of the target's attacks randomly. Normal N/A 100% Bubblebeam Has a ~10% chance to lower the target's Speed by 1 stage. Water 65 100%           Other Options: Hypnosis (Tradeback), Amnesia (Tradeback) combined with Thunderbolt/Bubblebeam. Verdict: Persian is quite similar to Dugtrio, only even scarier. This is because Persian not only has a Slash that will always CH, but it's also one that she gets STAB on. Slash will put a hurting on most opponents while Bubblebeam will provide a decent way to hit Rocks should Persian get backed against a wall. And, as usual, Persian has Hyper Beam, except she gets the added bonus of STAB, to finish off opponents once she's weakened them enough. Persian becomes even more threatening when playing RBY with tradebacks, as she picks up a sleep move (Hypnosis), the most useful move in the game (Amnesia), and some Special moves to abuse with them. It's just too bad Persian has never been able to match her performance in RBY.
