Where to find Purrloin

Purrloin is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Purrloin can hatch from a Dusk Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Dusk Egg can drop on Black Forest, Haunted Mansion, Electricity Hub, Dark Town, Safari Zone, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
