Unfortunately, the only way you can get this particular creature in the newest games is by catching a Meowth and evolving it. You will find the evolved feline character out in the wild ready to be caught. Individuals who can catch a Meowth will be able to get Persian when their Mewoth evolves at level 28.

One guaranteed way of obtaining a Mewoth is by catching a Galarian Meowth and then making your way to Turrfield Stadium on Route 4. There will be a child with a blue jacket who is looking for a Galarian Meowth. This child will trade you his regular Meowth for your Galarian version. Only regular Meowths can evolve into Persians, as the Galarian version evolves into a character known as Perrserker. 

The evolved form of Meowth is a normal-type and is weak against fighting-types.
