Where it came from
The Persian card from the Ancient Origins expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in August 2015. As part of the XY series, the set was designed to integrate cards from the Japanese 'Bandit Ring' expansion, focusing on themes of ancient secrets and powerful Legendary Pokémon. This specific card represents the evolved form of Meowth, a staple of the franchise since its inception in the late 1990s.
The artwork for this particular iteration of Persian was created by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon Trading Card Game since the early 2000s. Saitou’s style is known for its clean lines and dynamic poses, and for this card, he captured Persian in an elegant, predatory stance that emphasizes its status as the Classy Cat Pokémon. As a common card, it served as a functional piece for players and a thematic inclusion for collectors looking to complete the regional Pokedex entries featured within the Ancient Origins set.
