Purrloin is a cat-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. Its evolved form is Liepard.

Information

It is a sneaky cat Pokémon that uses its cute appearance as a ruse to deceive others. Purrloin steal from people for fun. They use their cute act both to make victims lower their guard before stealing from them and to earn easy forgiveness from the same victims when they are caught. It primarily attacks with its sharp claws.

Purrloin evolves into Liepard at Level 20.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Purrloin appeared uncommonly at Routes 2 and 3, and it more commonly was found at the Dreamyard.

Trivia

• It is a pun on "purloin" (which means to steal) combining it with "purr" (the onomatopoeia for a cat noise).
