THIS IS ONE OF THE FATTEST POKEMON EVER!!! IT LOOKS LIKE SNORLAX' WIFE!!! no seriosly, how is this fast? does it just roll everywhere? garchomp can move as fast as a jet plane (over 700 mph), and pure-ugly is faster. so, game freak, your saying a criticaly obese cat goes faster than the mach Pokemon? seems legit! but seriosly, how is this thing fast?

Purugly exists to be a jerk in early D/P/Pl as one of Mars' star Pokemon.

>Despite appearing very sluggish, Purugly will not be reluctant to attack if angered and can be quite fast.

Purugly is also based on a cat, and cats are generally very speedy. Its fat might be some kind of protection it got when it evolved, to improve its defences, considering how they arent too good. Its pokedex entries also say that it invades other Pokemons nests until it finds a comfortable one, so it would need to be quick to be able to chase the other Pokemon away. Perhaps it could run faster than a lot of Pokemon, but would get tired out easily, like how some people can run really fast, but not for long-distances, while others can run for a long time but arent very fast. Other than that, only Game Freak knows.
