Glameow (Japanese: ニャルマー Nyarmar) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Purugly starting at level 38.

Biology

Glameow is a gray feline Pokémon 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 curled, spring-shaped tail and a white fluff at the tip of it. It has sharp claws and a powerful tail. Its eyes are also capable of using hypnotic powers.

Glameow tends to be spiteful and fickle, having a tendency to hook its claws into the nose of its trainer if it's not fed. When it's happy, it demonstrates movements with its tail, like a dancing ribbon. As it has a domesticated quality, it tends to appear in urban areas.

Trivia

• Glameow is the only Pokémon not introduced or given a new form in Generation VII whose model was altered between Generations VI and VII.
• Glameow can be seen as a parallel to Stunky. Glameow is exclusive to Pokémon Pearl and White 2, while Stunky is exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Black 2, and their evolved forms are used by Team Galactic Commanders Mars and Jupiter, respectively. Also, they are both part of the Field Egg Group and a two-stage evolutionary line, and they both cannot be found in Pokémon Platinum.

Origin

Glameow seems to be based on a domestic cat.

Name origin

Glameow is a combination of glamour or glamorous and meow.

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