PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Feint Attack benefits from STAB and pairs with Alolan Persian's Dark-type charge moves.
• Scratch is useless. 
• Foul Play is the best charge move available.
• Dark Pulse is a step down, but doesn't fall too far behind. 
• Payback is a further downgrade and unadvisable. 
• Play Rough and Trailblaze have no use. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Feint Attack is stronger on defense with STAB, even if it would be resisted.
• Scratch can't be Super Effective vs anything. 
• Play Rough is the best for defense, and threatens Fighting-type attackers.
• Trailblaze is an okay option for defense.
• Dark Pulse hits slightly harder and faster than Foul Play on defense. 
• Payback is the worst option for defense, as a 1-bar move.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Feint Attack + Foul Play and Play Rough

Feint Attack, while it lacks STAB, has better energy generation than Scratch.

Foul Play costs the least amount of energy, and benefits from STAB making it the primary charge move of choice. Dark Pulse deals slightly more damage and costs slightly more energy, while Payback takes that up a further level, making its higher energy cost less desirable. Play Rough provides coverage against Alolan Persian's weakness to Fighting-type opponents. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1 / 5

Alolan Persian struggles against the meta due to its poor moveset. While it can fulfill a Dark-type role if no other options are available, it's advised to pass on this Pokemon for stronger Pokemon in the meta. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Even with XL candy, Alolan Persian doesn't even come near the CP cap of Ultra League.

Master League: 0 / 5

Dragons are scary. Cat naps aren't.
