Purrloin #509

The big surprise of the line. A 2012 McDonald's Happy Meal promo (holo-foil) handed out the year after Purrloin's English debut — and the only Purrloin print that meaningfully competes with the modern White Flare chase. Most of these were kid-handled to creased oblivion, and clean centered copies trade well above their pricetag would suggest.

Legendary Treasures' Radiant Collection subset (RC13) — the bonus mini-set of Pokémon-character-focused alt-art reprints tucked into the 2013 BW-era closer. This Purrloin is the deep-cut chase of the Radiant Collection for line collectors.

Boundaries Crossed was the late-2012 Plasma-themed set best remembered for Black Kyurem. Purrloin got a Common reprint slot here — clean illustration, pure pack filler.

Emerging Powers was the late-2011 first-real-expansion follow-up to Black & White. Purrloin's reprint here is launch-era bulk extension — the kind of early-Unova Common that filled binders without ever filling tournament decks.

One of two 2013 Plasma Storm Commons — the set built around Team Plasma's storyline takeover. Pure bulk; this version is the slightly pricier of the pair.

The second 2013 Plasma Storm Common — same set as #82, different art, near-identical price. The kind of pair only the line completionist tracks down.

Unified Minds was the August-2019 SM-era set best known for the Reshiram & Charizard-GX Tag Team. Purrloin is set-roster filler here — bulk in a set everyone otherwise broke for the chase Tags.

The original. 2011 Black & White Common — the very first English Purrloin, the launch-set print that introduced players to Team Plasma's go-to cat. Bulk cardboard with sentimental cachet.

Phantom Forces was the November-2014 XY-era set built around Mega Gengar and the Spirit Link mechanic. Purrloin rode along as a Common reprint — the cheapest verified Purrloin in the catalog and pure bulk-bin filler.
