Best Persian Pokemon Go PvP moveset

The best moveset for Persian in Pokemon Go PvP battles consists of Scratch and Feint Attack. With Night Slash as a second Charged Move, that grants Persian great utility by turning it into a spammer.

Night Slash also has a 12.5% chance to increase the Pokemon Attack by 50%, so using it as a boost attack is a great option.

Best Persian Pokemon Go PvE moveset

Sadly, both its type, stats, and moveset do not grant Persian considerable advantage in Pokemon Go PvE battles, so you have better options for Raids to consider before Persian.
