Is Persian good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Cruel Slash on Team Rocket's Persian ex (Destined Rivals), doing 140 for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Team Rocket's Persian ex with 260 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Fighting attackers — that's its weakness.
