Card 139

Litleo, the Lion Cub Pokémon, is a fiery Normal/Fire type introduced in Generation VI, hailing from the Kalos region. It is the pre-evolution of Pyroar, evolving at level 35. Litleo are known for their playful yet determined nature, often seen practicing their hunting skills under the watchful eyes of their female Pyroar mentors. In the wild, Litleo typically inhabit savannas and open grasslands, where they can hone their abilities and learn to survive. Their diet primarily consists of berries and small prey, which they track and pounce on with surprising agility for their size. Litleo's mane, a vibrant red, becomes more prominent as it grows, signifying its increasing power and readiness to join the pride's hunting parties. In the Pokémon games, Litleo often serves as an early-game Fire-type option, appreciated for its decent Special Attack and Speed. In the anime, Litleo have been featured in various episodes, showcasing their loyalty and developing strength, often forming strong bonds with their trainers. Litleo's design, inspired by lion cubs, resonates with many fans, embodying both youthful innocence and the potential for formidable power, making it a beloved Pokémon in its own right before its evolution into the majestic Pyroar.
