Mini Collection: Purrloin & Liepard
チョロネコ&レパルダス


  


Despite their apparently-nasty nature, I fell in love instantly with these purple cats the moment I first saw them in CoroCoro magazine leaks. After all, they do say it's the trainer that makes a Pokémon bad, not the Pokémon itself.

During a very unique Pokémon Center promotion in July 2011 featuring dressed up Pokémon, this Deerling plush was released!

Pokémon Center National Pokédex Metal Charm 509 Purrloin, 510 Liepard
ポケモンセンター 全国ずかんメタルチャーム 509 チョロネコ、510 レパルダス
Pokémon Center 2012

Black and White seems to have broken all molds in Pokémon collecting, and this promotion of metal charms is no exception. Banpresto's My Pokémon Collection made the unprecidented move of aiming to release every Unova Pokémon in plush form, and the Pokémon Center seemed to turn that into a challenge and decided to release every single Pokémon up to Kyurem in metal charm form. This is an adorable two piece set of Purrloin and Liepard!
