Using Persian

[Souless_Heat]

Basically I am probably only going to use this for fun and it can do some pretty good damage when used correctly. Would this work for a Persian?

Persian@Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
Fake Out/Substitute
Return/Double Edge
Shadow Ball
Aerial Ace

Please help me out

NO. DON'T USE CB SUB.

ahem.

return/shadow ball/AA/(thunderbolt or HP Ground or Fighting) @ CB

without HP or thunderbolt, it has some problems with steels.

return/shadow ball/hypnosis/(sub or filler) @ leftovers

fastest sleep in the game.

 

[Souless_Heat]

Then why not

Persian@Choice Band
Adamant
Return
Shadow Ball
Aerial Ace
Hypnosis/Thunder Bolt

Put the pesky steel type to sleep than switch to something else? If that won't work I guess Thunder Bolt isn't the worst choice.

Here's a good set:

Persian - Adamant

-Slash/Return
-Attract
-Shadow Ball
-Dig

Man, what a bad movepool. That's the best I can come up with. Slash/Return for raw power, Attract to slow them down, and it can be useful to pair with another status infliction like confusion or paralysis. Shadow Ball is for type coverage and Dig is a weaker form of EQ, to take out those Steel types you fear.

No dig. No Attract (I think it can learn the slightly better T-Wave).

I don't fear them, and the main steal types I would be concerned about are Skarmory...

Attract won't work to well... Hypnosis is best

 

[Snap Dragon]

Dig works ok in-game, and believe me, if it could learn T-Wave, I would have suggested it. I put Attract there, simply because there isn't really anything much better to give it.

Persian
Jolly Nature
-Return
-Shadow Ball
-Hypnosis
-Fake out

Fake out is always fun. Persian hurts tons of stuff with it! Hypnosis is nice because if Persian gets hit, it's dead. It just sucks if it misses so it's a bit of a gamble. Still, in-game you should kill (or come close to) anything in your way with Fake Out. Then you just finish up with Return or Shadow ball. Just watch out for Steel and Rock types. Persian's Sp.Atk isn't that great to be trying to take down Skarmorys with Thunderbolt. Just switch.

OMG. >.> You are easily aggravated aren't you?

 

[MagmaEmperor]

I have a Feeling this is gonna get Locked soon.
So I may as well post my set.

~ Body Slam / Double-Edge / Return
~ Shadow Ball
~ Fake Out
~ Hidden Power Ground / Aerial Ace / Iron Tail / Double-Edge

@ Choice Band

NOTE:I NEVER trained a Persian this is my Friend's Moveset.
Which he is copying from Smogon

To Tell you the Truth,I think Persian Sucks

 

[aipomkong]

Persian is a lot better in RBY.

~ Return
~ Substitute
~ Shadow Ball
~ Hypnosis
@ Leftovers / whatever

that works to some extent

 

[Dunsparce]

Fun:

Persian@Choice Band
Adamant/Jolly
Shadow Ball (SA against Ghosts)
Return (STAB)
Aerial Ace (SA against Fighting)
Iron Tail/Mud-Slap/HP Physical

Persian@Lum Berry
Doesn't matter what nature
Hypnosis
Assist
Return
Aerial Ace/Shadow Ball/Water Pulse

An interesting Novelty set. Use Hypnosis, USe Assist for random party move, and Return to do soem actual Damage. Shadow Ball If you want to hurt Ghosts, Aerial Ace to hurt Fighting Types, and Water Pulse for Rock ANd Ground types.

Fact: IN RGBY, Persian was OU. With High SPeed and Slash, it could almost always get a CH. In both RGBY and GSC, Bubblebeam was a standard move on it. Water Pulse is in place of it due to lack of a Bubblebeam Move Tutor (I want one SOOOOOOOO Badly!)

Sadly, GSC Ruined it. At least it got Limber in RSE so it can't get Paralized and get its speed reduced.

persian is a weak pokemon IMO. there are better normal types than him...

The truth has never been more true.

 

[Darkness Catcher]

your moves are alright. fake out better be changed. sub is good is focus punch.
