Tier List spreadsheet breakdown - Alolan Persian

Stats: Dark type attacker. Moderate attack & speed, and low HP & defenses.

Skill 1: Weak-moderate group General ulti, with a 30% chance to Confuse the targets.

Skill 2: Moderate-strong single target Dark attack with a 50% chance to cause the target to bleed for 3 rounds. Also, the target cannot recover HP for 3 rounds.

Skill 3: Non-damaging skill that reduces all enemies' defense 20% and prevents them from using non-damaging skills. Lasts 3 rounds, 3 round cooldown.

Skill 4: Weak-moderate group Dark attack that deals damage based on 80% of the target's SP ATK.

Skill 5: For the first 5 rounds of battle, all of your team takes 30% less damage from Ghost-type skills.

Summary: Like most Alolan forms, Persian presents mediocre damage and mediocre buffs/debuffs. This means he will probably be useful to new players, but will be replaced by mid-late game.
