Today, I wanna talk about something that gave me a real headache recently – Persian counters in Pokemon GO. I spent hours trying to figure this out, and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. But hey, I cracked the code, and now I’m here to share my struggles and what I learned with you guys.
So, picture this: I’m battling, and this Persian keeps showing up, messing up my game. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. That’s when I decided, “Alright, I gotta do some digging.” I went online, searched for “Persian counters,” and boom, a ton of info popped up. But, it was all over the place. Some sites said use this Pokemon, others said use that. It was a mess! I spent a good chunk of my day just reading through forums and articles, trying to make sense of it all.

After hours of research, I started to see some patterns. It looked like Fighting-type Pokemon were the way to go. They seemed to be Persian’s weakness. I also learned that Ghost-type Pokemon don’t do much against it. You can find that Persian is Resistant Against Ghost-type Pokemon. That was good to know. I went back to the game and started experimenting with my Fighting-type Pokemon.
I had a few in my collection, like Machamp and Hariyama. I put them in my team and went into battle again. And guess what? It was like night and day! Those Fighting-type moves were hitting Persian hard. I was finally winning those battles. I realized that some Pokemon had special moves, like Force Palm and Aura Sphere, that were super effective. You have to know some Pokemon’s best attacker and defensive movesets and the best counters to them on defense.
Then I stumbled upon something even cooler – Mega Evolutions. I saw that Mega Lucario and Mega Blaziken were mentioned as top counters. I tried them out, and wow, they were beasts! With their powerful moves like Counter and Focus Blast, they just shredded through Persian. It was amazing to watch.
Here’s a little list of what I found worked best:
- Mega Lucario – Force Palm and Aura Sphere, these were game-changers.
- Mega Blaziken – Counter and Focus Blast, seriously powerful.
- Mega Heracross – Counter and Close Combat, another great option.
- Lucario – Similar moves to its Mega form, still very effective.
- Machamp and Hariyama – Solid Fighting-types that did the trick.
So, after all that trial and error, I finally had a solid strategy for dealing with Persian. It took a lot of time and patience, but it was worth it. I learned a ton about Pokemon types, moves, and Mega Evolutions. And the best part? I can now win those battles with confidence. Hope this helps you out too!
