Purugly (Japanese: ブニャット Bunyatto) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Glameow starting at level 38.

Biology

Purugly is a rotund gray and white feline Pokémon with a crescent-shaped head. Its ears are pointed and tipped purple. It has whiskers with a zigzag-like pattern at the end of them. The frilly portion of its spiraling tail is forked, but it usually keeps it clasped around its waist. Despite appearing very sluggish, Purugly will not be reluctant to attack if angered and can be quite fast.

Purugly attempts to make itself look larger and more intimidating by cinching its waist with its forked tail. It barges into the nests of other Pokémon and frighten them off so Purugly can claim the nest as its own. It can be found in both urban areas and heavily wooded forests.

Trivia

Origin

Purugly is based on a wild tiger cat, though its appearance is closer to an overweight tabby cat. It may also be based on nekomata, a type of cat-based yōkai.

Name origin

Purugly is a combination of purr and ugly. It may also be a play on "pure ugly".

Bunyatto may be a combination of デブ debu (fat), ニャー nyā (the sound a cat makes), and cat. Bu may also derive from 不細工 busaiku (ugly).
