Trivia

  • Purrloin was shown on September 6, 2010 in a trailer for the Pokémon BW Special due for airing September 16. It was officially revealed on the October issue of Coro Coro on September 11, 2010.
  • The last part of its Japanese name, neko, is fitting because neko is the Japanese word for cat.
  • Purrloin is based on "purloin," a term used to describe a theft of any kind.
  • Despite being based on a cat, neither Purrloin or its evolution are able to learn Bite or Crunch.
  • Purrloin is one of only ten pure dark types. The others are Umbreon, Poochyena, Mightyena, AbsolDarkrai, Liepard, Zorua and Zoroark.
  • In Pokémon BW046, Purrloin was seen standing and walking on its back legs, and is one of the few feline Pokémon to do so along with Meowth.
