Litleo (Japanese: シシコ Shishiko) is a dual-type Fire/Normal Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves into Pyroar starting at level 35.

Biology

Litleo are quadruped, feline Pokémon. They are mostly dark brown in color with pale brown paws, ears, tail tip, and face. They have a short, rounded muzzle with a reddish orange nose and round ears. Their eyes are circular with black irises and white pupils and sclera. There is a reddish orange tuft of fur between their ears. Each of their paws has three toes and a dark brown paw pad. Their tail ends in a pointed, teardrop shape.

In battle, its short mane radiates heat, and when up against a strong opponent, the temperature increases. When wild Litleo grow stronger, they are kicked out of the pack and begin to live alone. Litleo is a hot-blooded Pokémon that is curious by nature and is quick to start fights.
