== Appearance ==

==Biology==
  +
===Physiology===
−
Purrloin looks similar to [[Glameow]] from Generation IV. However, its evolution, Liepard, looks nothing like Purugly. Purrloin looks like a purple cat, with long pink eyelids that stretch up to the edge of its ears. It also has white patches on its fur.
  
  +
Purrloin is a small feline Pokémon. It has mainly deep purple fur, with cream-colored patches on its muzzle, forehead, chest, forelegs, back, and back feet. Purrloin has green eyes with slit pupils and large angular pink eyelids. It has a blunt catlike muzzle with a small black triangular nose. It has pointed catlike ears and whisker-like tufts of fur on either cheek. It has a sleek, slender body with small dainty paws and feet. Its tail is long and skinny with a crescent-like tuft at the tip.
  +
  +
[[File:Pinot_Noir's_Purrloin.png|thumb|A Purrloin standing on two feet.]]
  +
  +
Although it is generally a quadruped (seen running on all fours), Purrloin is capable of standing and walking on two legs, like a biped (similar to [[Meowth]]).
  +
  +
===Behavior===
  +
Purrloin is extremely smart, crafty, and mischievous. It puts on a cute act in order to steal items from people just to see the shocked looks on their faces. When threatened, it will attack with its sharp retractable claws.
