Name: Purugly

Purugly (Japanese: ブニャット, Hepburn: Bunyatto) (purr-UG-lee^[1]) is a Normal type Pokémon introduced in the Generation IV.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Purugly is a plump quadrupedal feline Pokémon. It has mainly gray fur with a white face, a white chest, and white stripes on its legs. It has large ears with frilled purple tips, yellow eyes with black pupils and purple eyelids, a small black triangular nose, and a frowning face. It has long black wavy whiskers on either side of its wide face. It is quite round and pudgy in shape. It has small white paws, and a gray springlike tail with a white fluffy tip split into two ends. It usually clenches its bloated belly with its prehensile split tail in order to push its fat towards its chest and hindquarters in order to make itself appear larger.

A shiny Purugly has pink fur instead of gray, and blue "eye-shadow" instead of purple. A shiny Purugly has blue at the end of its ears instead of dark purple.

Behavior[]

It has an grumpy appearance, and is known for sleeping wherever it wants, even if it has to fight a wild Pokémon to sleep in its territory. They are called the 'Tiger Cat' Pokémon, referring to its tiger-like stripes and its aggressive disposition. It uses the white fluff on its tail to squeeze the fat in its swollen gut towards its chest and rump in order to make itself look bigger and deter attackers.

Evolution[]

Purugly is the evolved form of Glameow. Glameow can evolve into Purugly starting at level 38.

Anime[]

A Purugly belongs to Mars, representing her in game ace as Team Galactic's admin, which appeared in Double Team Turnover!, which also marked the species' main series debut, Stealing Peace of Mind! and Saving the World from Ruins.

In "For The Love of Meowth!", Meowth falls in love with a Glameow. She later evolves into a Purugly, bringing the budding romance to an abrupt end.

Trivia[]

Despite the fact that it only evolves from Glameow from Level 38 onwards, a Level 16 Purugly is seen in Commander Mars' team when first encountered in the Valley Windworks in the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games.
Purugly is Mars' signature Pokémon.

Origin[]

Purugly is based on an overweight tabby cat.

Etymology[]

Purugly's name is derived from the words purr and ugly, referring to its surly, sour-faced look and shabby appearance. It may also be a pun on the phrase pure ugly.

Bunyatto is derived from 不細工 (busaiku, "ugly"), デブ (debu, "fat"), ニャー (nyā, "meow), "cat," and "fat."
