Glameow (Japanese: ニャルマー Nyarmar) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Purugly starting at level 38.

Biology

Physiology

Glameow is a primarily gray feline Pokémon, with a curled, spring-shaped tail similar to Spoink and a white fluff at the tip of it. It has a crescent shaped head with two white-tipped ears. It also has a white muzzle, a small black nose, pink eyelids, yellow eyes with blue irises like a Froslass, and two rows of thin whiskers. Glameow has a slender physique, most drastically in comparison to its evolution, Purugly, and its ability, Limber, may reflect this. Glameow’s neck has a ruff-like fringe, and its legs have similar fringes. Its feet are tipped with white, and have pink paw pads on the underside.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Glameow have sharp claws and a powerful tail. This allows them to use moves like Shadow Claw and Iron Tail. They also have access to several elemental attacks. Their eyes are also capable of using hypnotic powers.

Behavior

Glameow tend to be spiteful and fickle, having a tendency to hook its claws into the nose of its trainer if not fed.

Habitat

Glameow tend to appear in urban environments, probably because they have a domesticated quality.
