Pokédex Entry: A scavenger found mostly in cities and suburbs, it is known to get its meals out of the refuse pile. Nevertheless, people are fond of keeping as a house cat.

A small little black cat with purple whiskers and a curling up purple fringe on its head. Between its dull orange and yellow eyes, down to its mouth, is a white patch reminiscent of a skull. Its ears are white with a dipping pattern into the black, its feet are also white with the same pattern. Its tail is its most interesting feature, as it resembles a fish's skeleton to the point where a hole sits where the eyes would be.

Etymology: Kuroneko is a combination of the words kuro, the Japanese word for black, and neko, the Japanese word for cat, and is also, combined, the colloquial term for a black cat in Japanese fandoms.

Gender Differences: None.

Special Abilities: Despite its color, it can stealthily camouflage itself in the dark. Only its eyes and whiskers can be seen.

Behavior: A small Pokémon that uses it cuteness, putting on the airs, allowing it to escape predators or danger or to gain food from people and Pokémon. Outside of this it uses its stealth to survive and stalk prey. As any other cat, Kuroneko like to play with their food. Weather it's alive or dead, it enjoys chasing prey for as long as it entertains them. When they go to sleep, which is usually at their leisure, they often go in and out of their stealth state making it look like they disappear and reappear.

Habitat: Grassy and rocky hills, where they can hide from their prey. They've also been spotted in cities, where they use the darkened alleys as their playground.

Diet: Small to medium mammals and, when given the chance, fish.
