Its attacks

Scratch

Pounce

If the Defending Pokémon attacks Persian during your opponent's next turn, any damage done by the attack is reduce by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

Keep in mind
None of the 8,705 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,705 tournament lists we have read, 2,060 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
