Now now, that's not true. It's just that Purugly is such an obscure Pokemon, that's why.
I swear, many people in the topic were saying how much it sucks. The POTW guy had more nice things to say about the poor guy.
I'm not going to lie, battle wise, all it has going for it is its speed, despite the fact that Purugly looks like that would be its WORST stat. But personally, I really want one on one of my teams, but there's no way to get one in any of the games I have.
