Purrloin

Purrloin in the anime

Purrloin made its animated appearance in Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?, owned by Misha, where both Oshawott and Meowth fell for it before it was revealed to be a boy using feminine behavior to trick them. In Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!, Mrs. Ripple's Purrloin helped uncover the true culprit behind a theft despite Cilan's fear of it, and Ricard Nouveau's Purrloin battled Cilan's Crustle in Clash of the Connoisseurs! before losing to a combined Shell Smash and Rock Wrecker.

Purrloin across the eras

Purrloin appeared in 2011's Black & White as a Common illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, and it showed up twice in a Zoroark themed trainer kit that same year. Later sets gave it character variants like N's Purrloin in Journey Together and Marnie's Purrloin in Destined Rivals, plus a White Flare illustration rare by Mugi Hamada.
