The best fast attack for Purrloin to be able to use is the dark-type move, Sucker Punch. This move deals decent damage and is especially effective during foggy weather.

During Gym and Raid Battles, Sucker Punch deals 10 DPS (Damage Per Second) and has a 0.7 second cooldown time. While in player vs. player mode, it has a Base power of 5 and generates 7 energy.

The best charge attack for Purrloin to know is Dark Pulse. The move has a very solid 80 power. During Raid and Gym Battles, it deals just over 26 DPS.

In battles against fellow trainers, Dark Pulse expends 50 energy to use. The move can be used by Purrloin every three seconds.

With both of these being Dark-type moves and Purrloin being a Dark Pokemon, players will be able to take great advantage of STAB (Same-type Attack Bonus) with this moveset. Ghost and Psychic-type Pokemon will be easy knock-outs against a Purrloin that knows Sucker Punch and Dark Pulse.
