This Persian is a highly experience Persian which knows Thunderbolt can is quite rare for a Persian. Its Tail sticks out straight which is a signal that it is very strong.
During its battle with Ash Ketchum, Squirtle managed to defeat Persian with a Skull bash after enduring its Thunderbolt. The trainer then used Tauros who quickly defeated Squirtle but lost to Charizard's Flamerthrower even though it used Take Down on it first.
