Alolan Persian is a fast pivot that can switch into and take on many of the tier's physical attackers such as numerous Silvally formes, Unfezant, Liepard, and Gourgeist-S due to its excellent Speed tier and ability Fur Coat. Knock Off is used to remove Clefairy's Eviolite, as well as denying Leftovers recovery from Pokemon that may want to switch in, such as Alcremie and Sandaconda. Toxic puts common switch-ins such as Alcremie and Quagsire on timers. Foul Play lets Alolan Persian reliably revenge kill boosted Silvally formes. 180 Speed EVs paired with a Jolly nature allow Alolan Persian to outspeed Rapidash.

Due to Alolan Persian's weakness to Fighting-types, Pokemon such as Garbodor, Cofagrigus, and Rotom-S pair well with it. Garbodor in particular has amazing defensive synergy with Alolan Persian, as the former resists all three types that the latter is weak to. Pokemon that can switch into Fairy-types, such as Rapidash and Silvally-Steel, are also heavily appreciated. Strong attackers such as Toxicroak, Indeedee-F, and Flapple appreciate Alolan Persian's ability to bring them onto the battlefield via Parting Shot. Additionally, Pokemon that are typically weak to Silvally formes such as Clefairy appreciate Alolan Persian's ability to handle them; in return, Clefairy can take on the special attackers that threaten Alolan Persian.

Alolan Persian acts as a fast pivot to many of the tiers Physical-attackers such as numerous Silvally formes, Unfezant, Liepard, and Gourgeist-Small due to its excellent speed tier and its ability Fur Coat. Despite this all being true, Alolan Persian is completely passive, has terrible Special bulk, and has quite the lackluster typing for a defensive Pokemon, making it weak to common Fighting-types such as Sawk and Toxicroak. This is a tad off; its not completely passive as well, Foul Play, Knock, and Toxic help make a ton of progress, perhaps easily exploited? 180 Speed paired with a Jolly Nature allows Alolan Persian to outspeed Rapidash with the remaining EVs being dumped into Defense to futher its bulk. Knock Off removes Clef's Evio (important), and denys recovery to many mons that would come in on it, eg Sanda and Alcremie. Toxic is an amazing utility option as it puts common Alolan Persian switch-ins, such as Alcremie and Quagsire, on timers. Foul Play is the fourth move of choice so that Alolan Persian can dish out decent damage versus the Pokemon that it is supposed to check. Taunt can also be utilized over either Foul Play or Toxic but the former moves are heavily preferred.

Due to Alolan Persian's weakness to Fighting-types, Pokemon such as Garbodor, Cofagrigus, and Rotom-S pair well with it. Garbodor in particular has amazing defensive synergy with Alolan Persian as it resists all three types that it is weak too, as well as provides the team with Spike support that Alolan Persian can greatly utilize to its advantage. Pokemon that can switch-in to Fairy-types such as Flareon, Silvally-Fire, or Perrserker are also heavily appreciated. Imo restructure this a bit; Silvally-fire has fallen off a tad, flareon is good, but literally only on stall, so shouldn't be the first mention. Parting Shot allows you to gain momentum into a strong attacker such as Toxicroak, Drampa, Rapidash or Flapple while making them easier to take advantage of due to the stat drops. Additionally, Pokemon that are typically manipulated by weak to Silvally formes such as Clefairy appreciate Alolan Persian's ability to handle them; in return, Clefairy can heal Alolan Persian's HP due to the combination of Wish + Teleport would prefer take on special attackers for it; Wishport clef is falling off hard.

Removed drampa mentions, replaced with Dash as it was an easy slot in and beats up fairy types, though I think there's probably a better replacement

Despite this all being true, Alolan Persian is easily exploitable, has terrible Special bulk, and has quite the lackluster typing for a defensive Pokemon, making it weak to common Fighting-types such as Sawk and Toxicroak. (this makes the Pokemon sound much worse than it actually is, and I don't think we need to focus so heavily on the negatives for Alolan Persian in the current metagame) 180 Speed paired with a Jolly Nature allows Alolan Persian to outspeed Rapidash with the remaining EVs being dumped into Defense to further its bulk. (make this sentence about the EVs come last in the paragraph) Knock Off is used to remove Clefairy's eviolite as well as denying leftovers recovery from Pokemon that may want to switch in such as Alcremie and Sandaconda. Toxic is an amazing utility option as it puts common Alolan Persian switch-ins, such as Alcremie and Quagsire, on timers. Foul Play is the fourth move of choice so that Alolan Persian can dish out decent damage versus the Pokemon that it is supposed to check lets Alolan Persian reliably revenge kill boosted Silvally formes. Taunt can also be utilized over either Foul Play or Toxic but the former moves are heavily preferred. (not ever worth using)

Garbodor in particular has amazing defensive synergy with Alolan Persian as it resists all three types that it is weak too, as well as provides the team with Spike support that Alolan Persian can greatly utilize to its advantage. (Alolan Persian is awful at taking advantage of hazards) Pokemon that can switch-in to Fairy-types such as Rapidash, Flareon or Perrserker Rapidash and Silvally-Steel are also heavily appreciated. Parting Shot allows you to gain momentum into a strong attacker such as Toxicroak, Indeedee-F, or Flapple while making them easier to take advantage of due to the stat drops. (reword this sentence so that it sounds more like something you'd read in a Team Options section) Additionally, Pokemon that are typically weak to Silvally formes such as Clefairy appreciate Alolan Persian's ability to handle them; in return, Clefairy can take on the Special attackers that threaten it.
