Where it came from
The Persian card, designated as SM182 in the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series, was released in 2019. It was distributed as a promotional inclusion within the Pokémon TCG: Hidden Fates Pin Collection—Meowth, serving as a tie-in to the special subset that highlighted rare Shiny Pokémon. These promotional cards were designed to bolster the appeal of supplemental product releases, offering collectors a specific card that was not found in the standard booster packs of the era.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is a staple artist for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Saitou focused on capturing Persian’s sleek, predatory elegance, utilizing the vibrant, high-saturation aesthetic consistent with the Sun & Moon era's art direction. Like many cards in the Black Star Promo series, it was received primarily as a collectible set-filler for dedicated players and enthusiasts looking to complete the promo numbering sequence rather than as a centerpiece for competitive deck-building.
