Pyroar (Japanese: カエンジシ Kaenjishi) is a dual-type Fire/Normal Pokémon.

It evolves from Litleo starting at level 35.

Biology

Pyroar is a feline Pokémon resembling a lion. It is mostly dark brown with light brown legs, tail tip, chest, and face. A male Pyroar has a gold and red mane, while a female has a long, gold and red lock of hair. It has light blue eyes.

Pyroar lives in prides, led by the male with the largest mane of fire, and the females protect the pride's cubs. Pyroar viciously threatens any challenger with a fiery breath exceeding 10,000 degress Fahrenheit. It and its pre-evolution Litleo are the only known Pokémon that can learn Noble Roar.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Pyroar and its pre-evolution.
• Pyroar is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 507.
• Pyroar shares its species name with Slowking. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.

Origin

Pyroar is based on a lion. The style of its fur, in particular the spiked areas on its limbs and tail, more than likely is a reference to stylized lions in heraldry and coat of arms. The yellow pattern on the mane of a male Pyroar is similar in shape to the Daimonji, a bonfire lit during the Japanese festival Gozan no Okuribi in the shape of the symbol 大 (meaning great or large).

Name origin

Pyroar may be a combination of pyro and roar.

Kaenjishi is a combination of 火炎 kaen (flame) and 獅子 shishi (lion).
