Provenance

Where it came from

Purrloin, a feline-inspired Pokémon introduced in the fifth generation of the franchise, appears here as card 48/73 in the Shining Legends expansion. Released in late 2017, this special subset focused on powerful legendary and mythical Pokémon, offering a distinct aesthetic that departed from standard main-series sets. As a common card within this collection, the Purrloin serves as a foundational element, filling out the roster of darkness-type creatures available to players.

The card features artwork that emphasizes the Pokémon’s mischievous and stealthy nature, a hallmark of its design since its debut in the Unova region. The illustration maintains the visual consistency established by The Pokémon Company’s long-standing roster of artists, focusing on clean lines and vibrant coloring typical of the Sun & Moon era of the trading card game. While not a high-rarity chase card, it remains a consistent example of the game's commitment to portraying the diverse personalities of its creature catalog.
