Persian, Giovanni’s trademark Pokemon, initiates the fight. Persian is a normal type Pokemon, which generally indicates that it has no unique abilities or disadvantages. However, in Pokemon GO, Persian is particularly vulnerable to fighting-type Pokemon. It is important for players to be ready for Normal, Dark, Rock, and Fairy moves.

Based on this disadvantage Persian faces against fighting-type Pokemon, the best Pokemon options for the player are Lucario, Conkeldurr, Machamp, Tyranitar or Hariyama.
