Persian #053

Persian is forever Giovanni's cat — the Team Rocket boss's pampered companion — and that identity drives its most valuable cards: the Giovanni's Persian gym holo and the Rocket's Persian ex lead a surprisingly deep line of Dark, δ, and modern prints. A characterful collection for a single-stage Normal type.
