First introduced in Gen 6, Litleo has returned to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet after spending the last generation in limbo due to Sword and Shield’s restricted Pokédex. This playful lion cub evolves into Pyroar, which looks different depending on the Pokémon’s gender, and boasts the powerful Hidden Ability Moxie, which boosts the user’s Attack when they successfully knock out another Pokémon. Here’s how to catch a Litleo in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

How to catch Litleo in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Litleo often spawns in grass, rock, and mountain biomes, sometimes with a Pyroar or two. Their spawn locations are in the southeast quadrant of the Paldea map, in the Southern Province (areas one, three, and five) and the Eastern Province (areas one and two). There’s also a chance of encountering a Tera Raid battles in a star, although due to the large pool of possible Pokemon in Tera Raid encounters, finding one in the Overworld is much more consistent.
As a Fire and Normal type, Litleo is weak to Water, Fighting, Ground, and Rock moves, takes reduced damage from Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, and Fairy moves, and takes no damage from Ghost moves to his secondary Normal type, granting him immunity. It has fairly high base Speed but mediocre Defense and Sp. So defend yourself, so use any physical or special moves that capitalize on its weaknesses or resistances if your team is pretty strong.
One thing to note is that Litleo has Rivalry as one of his possible regular abilities, which increases Litleo’s Attack and Sp. Attacks by 25% if the Pokémon it’s fighting is of the same gender, and decreases them by 25% if the Pokémon is of the opposite gender. Depending on your team’s current strength, you might want to consider leading with a Pokemon of the opposite sex to reduce the damage Litleo does to it when you drain its health and try to catch it.
