Read more ↓Alolan Persian, introduced in Generation VII with the Alola region, is a Dark-type Pokémon that evolves from Alolan Meowth. Unlike its Kantoian counterpart, which is a Normal-type, Alolan Persian's sleek, round head and dark purple fur reflect the unique ecological pressures and cultural influences of the Alola region. In the games, Alolan Persian is often associated with the wealthy and powerful, serving as the Pokémon of choice for characters like the Kahuna of Ula'ula Island, Nanu. Its sophisticated and somewhat haughty demeanor is a direct result of being pampered and selectively bred by the Alolan royalty and nobility, leading to its "Classy Cat Pokémon" designation. This pampering also explains its distinct physical appearance, which differs significantly from the more wild and independent Kanto Persian. Alolan Persian's natural habitat would typically be within the more urbanized or affluent areas of Alola, where it can enjoy a life of luxury. Its diet would likely consist of high-quality Pokémon food, reflecting its pampered status. In the anime, Alolan Persian has also made appearances, reinforcing its image as a refined and sometimes mischievous Pokémon. Its Dark typing gives it an advantage against Psychic and Ghost types, while making it vulnerable to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy types.
