The stronger the opponent it faces, the more heat surges from its mane and the more power flows through its body.
Y
Alpha Sapphire
They set off on their own from their pride and live by themselves to become stronger. These hot-blooded Pokémon are quick to fight.
Ultra Sun When they’re young, they live with a pride. Once they’re able to hunt prey on their own, they’re kicked out and have to make their own way.
Ultra Moon This hot-blooded Pokémon is filled with curiosity. When it gets angry or starts fighting, its short mane gets hot.
Scarlet When Litleo are young, female Pyroar will teach them how to hunt. Once the Litleo mature, they will leave the pride and set out on their own.
Violet The more a Litleo trains its body and spirit by battling mighty enemies, the hotter its mane will grow.
