It evolves into starting at level 25.

Biology
Espurr is a small, bipedal, feline Pokémon. Its fur is mussed and a pale gray color with the exception of its ears—which are cream-rimmed—and its paws, which have short cream socks. It has wide, annular lilac eyes with darker purple pupils. It has a small, triangular nose and a tiny mouth; when it is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw. It has a small, fluffy, slightly curled tail. Its ears, quite large in proportion to its body, are folded — beneath them are two ring-shaped yellow-colored organs. These organs emit Espurr's intense psychic powers, and said power would leak out were the ears not sheltering the organs. Espurr is solitary in the wild; each acts on its own and values its independence.
