Personality and characteristics

Pyroar, as seen in Mega Evolution Special II, is very loyal to his owner. Pyroar is always seen following Lysandre, helping him in any way he can. He is also a serious and a very tight challenger. In addition, Pyroar has a seemingly high temperament against others, except for his owner. When Pyroar distracted Alain's Mega Charizard X and Steven's Mega Metagross from their battle, and the two Pokémon reacted to him, Pyroar snarled furiously at them, owing to his fiery nature.
Lysandre's Pyroar first appeared in Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change. Pyroar was first seen with Lysandre in Lysandre Café, where he was used to scare Trevor into giving up a picture that was taken in Vaniville Town. Pyroar was stopped by Diantha, who had her Gardevoir Mega Evolve to make him back off.
When X infiltrated the Team Flare Secret HQ to stop Team Flare's plan, Lysandre used Pyroar and the rest of his team to attack the intruder. It initially battled X's Salamè before it was recalled. Afterward, Pyroar battled X's Kanga and Li'l Kanga. With the heat of its flames, Pyroar forced Li'l Kanga into hiding back inside its mother's pouch to avoid being burned. When Kanga attempted to retaliate, Pyroar easily overpowered it and slammed it onto the ground.
Later, Pyroar was used alongside Lysandre's other Pokémon to battle Mewtwo at the Pokémon Village in order to capture it. When Lysandre's plan to trick Mewtwo into battling X and Blue and weaken it enough for capture failed, Pyroar and the rest of Lysandre's team battled against Mewtwo again after it Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo Y. When Lysandre summoned Essentia and had her use Zygarde's Land's Wrath, the attack's area of effect hit Pyroar and Mienfoo as well, knocking them both out.
