Persian made a cameo appearance in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]],'' being petted by Giovanni. It later appeared at the end of ''[[BW095|Unrest at the Nursery!]]'' with its Trainer and [[Matori]]. In [[BW096|the next episode]], Persian was sent into battle against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and proved itself to be extremely powerful, taking an {{m|Iron Tail}}, then swiftly knocking Pikachu out with {{m|Power Gem}}.  It briefly appeared in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'' and ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Meowth views this Persian as a rival. Persian is the beloved pet of the boss of [[Team Rocket]], and Meowth wants to kick Persian out and take its place as Giovanni's beloved pet, or the "Top Cat", as he calls it. Meowth's hatred of his [[Evolution|evolved]] form was not started by this Persian, but his anger manifests against it more often than against any other Persian.

* Persian also appears in the card [[Giovanni's Scheme (BREAKthrough 138)]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Giovanni's Persian seems intended to parallel other series in which the main villain owns a cat as a pet. For example, in {{wp|Inspector Gadget}}, the villain {{wp|Dr. Claw}} owns a cat named Mad Cat (it was named Sniffy in the {{wp|Inspector Gadget (film)|1999 movie}}). This trend seems to have started in the {{wp|James Bond (film)|James Bond}} movies, where Ernst Stavro Blofeld is often shown to have a white Persian cat that he strokes in a similar fashion to Giovanni. His face also remains hidden during the first few movies, which Giovanni also parallels in the Indigo League saga until his battle with {{Gary}}.

*Persian is the first pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon not part of the main cast to appear in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in the flesh, having a cameo in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom]]''.
