Espurr (Japanese: ニャスパー Nyasper) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves into Meowstic starting at level 25.

Biology

Espurr is a small, bipedal, feline Pokémon. Its fur is mussed and a pale grey color with the exception of its ears—which are cream-rimmed—and its paws, which have short cream socks. It has wide, annular lilac eyes with darker purple pupils. It has a small, triangular nose and tiny mouth. It has a small, fluffy, slightly curled tail. Its ears, quite large in proportion to its body, are folded- beneath them are two ring-shaped buff-colored organs. These organs emit Espurr's intense psychic powers, and said power would leak out were the ears not sheltering the organs. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. Espurr are solitary in the wild; they act on their own and each values its independence.

Trivia

• Espurr is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 355 that is not restored from a Fossil.

Origin

Espurr appears to be based on a kitten, particularly the Scottish Fold breed due to its curled ears and lilac coloring. It may also be inspired by nekomata, who can come from cats who live many years until their tail splits and they gain supernatural powers, much like when Espurr evolves into Meowstic.

Name origin

Espurr is a combination of ESP, esper, and purr.

Nyasper may be a combination of ニャー nyā (onomatopoeia of the sound cats make) and esper.
