Litleo

CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Litleo grows up among its own kind, then leaves the pride once it can hunt alone. It then seeks training and does not retreat from a stronger opponent. At such moments, its short mane heats up, signalling energy spreading through its body. Its curiosity and fiery temperament expose it to frequent challenges. The Pokédex thus tells of the passage from a protected childhood to a life in which it must earn its place through its own strength.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun explains that Litleo must leave its pride as soon as it can hunt alone. Pokémon X connects the heat of its mane with the strength of its opponent. Its departure and eagerness in battle form two stages of the same learning process towards independence.
