Glameow (Japanese:ニャルマーNyarmar) is aNormal-typePokémon introduced inGeneration IV.

Itevolves intoPurugly starting atlevel 38.

Biology

Glameow is a gray felinePokémon with a slender physique. 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, and two rows of thin whiskers. Its 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. It has a long, curled, spring-shaped tail and a white fluff at the tip of it.

Glameow has sharp claws and a powerful helical tail, and its eyes are capable of using hypnotic powers. It tends to be spiteful, fickle, and even cowardly, having a tendency to hook its claws into the nose of its trainer if it's not fed. When it's happy and purring with affection, it demonstrates movements with its tail, like a dancing ribbon. As it has a domesticated quality, it tends to appear in urban areas. Glameow is rather popular amongst Trainers due to its fickle nature. Glameow is also known to be a very cunning opponent to face in battle, which occurs only if it was provoked. Because of its craven nature, Glameow has a high chance of fleeing Trainers when encountered in the wild.

Trivia

• Glameow andAron are the only Pokémon not introduced or given a new form inGeneration VII whose model was altered betweenGenerations VI and VII. In Glameow's case, its ears were repositioned.
• Glameow can be seen as a parallel toStunky. Glameow is exclusive toPokémon Pearl andWhite 2, while Stunky is exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Black 2, and their evolved forms are used byTeam GalacticCommandersMars andJupiter, respectively. Also, they both belong to theFieldEgg Group, have a two-stage evolutionary line, and they both cannot be found inPokémon Platinum.

Origin

Glameow appears to be based on theDevon Rex and aribbon gymnast. Its tail, which also resembles aspring toy, seems to reference the Edo period belief thatcats with snake-like tails could bewitch people—explicitly mentioned in its Legends: Arceus Pokédex entry.

Name origin

Glameow may be a combination ofglamour andmeow.

Nyarmar may be a combination of ニャーnyā (the sound a cat makes) andglamour.
