the problem is Club Penguin and the like are rather kid-friendly universes, you need to do A LOT to be "Pure Evil" and kid-friendly media very, very rarely has them.. a villain can be immensely evil but if they have some lighter tones they aren't "Pure Evil" and that's why they are rarely seen in media that's "family friendly".

the Ultimate Protobot can't count either unless it has advanced AI since machines do as they are told, they are no more evil than whoever built them.

destroying or conquering the world is very standard these days.. it takes personal attacks and shocking material to be "Pure Evil".. stuff that would really darken the mood and probably invoke controversy.

villains tend to be dark.. Pure Evil characters are "grim-dark".. "grim-dark" can exist in family friendly settings but it is very rare and often strikingly.. off-puting.

see McLeach(?) from Rescuers Downunder.. he's strikingly off-puting as basically the closest thing Disney has ever got to a serial-killer in an animated story that is otherwise rather family friendly.. he rockets beyond any standard Disney villain because he just doesn't seem to belong.. his evil is out of place and alien.. same as Frollo (genocidal religious fanatic with lust, very out of place for Disney..).
