Purryo is a quadruped feline Pokémon possessing a flame on the tip of its tail. Below the flame appears to be some sort of fire holder, which is holding the fire from its tail. They are mainly a sandy color with numerous markings of red, orange and yellow. Their under bellies are red in color to give the effect of being powerful, threatening creatures associated with fire. They have a muddy grey colored collar surrounding their necks. Their tails and ears are striped orange and red, and orange, yellow and red respectively. Purryo have small paws that are orange in color with a small band of red above.
Special abilities
Purryo can use powerful fire attacks using its general heated body. Like Purrlit, they possess claws at the foot of their paws, which allow them to perform powerful slashing moves. This also allows them to dig underground and use various sand related attacks, due to their nature of kicking sand around.
Behavior
Purryo are rumbustious and love to cause mischief on others. Because of this, they will rarely evolve into a kind Flearoe.
Habitat
Purryo live in large open fields and deserts, but they are scarce in the wild, so are not as common as other Pokémon living in these areas. They will live together with other Purryo and Purrlit, and regularly reside with a leader Flearoe.

Pokédex entry
Purryo is a rapscallion among Pokémon, loving to cause mischief with other Purryo. Perhaps this is why it usually fears evolving into the well-behaved Flearoe.
Purryo is the first Fire/Ground Type since Numel and Camerupt.
Origin
Purryo is based on a feline animal, most likely a gepard, which are more commonly known as cheetahs. It may also be based on a tiger by as it possesses numerous stripes on its tail and ears.
