Pyroar Pride

A of Pyroar lives in the grassy plains of the Hora region's Route 13. They are the rivals of a local Mightyena cackle living on the same route.

Light & Dark
In Light & Dark, a pride of Pyroar (which also consists of their pre-evolved form, ) lives on the grassy Route 13 in the Hora region. According to Professor Changi, the region's expert on Pokémon, it is the only such pride of Pyroar in the entire region. Professor Changi also notes that the pride has recently come into contention with a cackle of Mightyena, Pyroar's sworn rivals, which has caused problems for passing through the Route on their way to Port Kardinal.

Changi notes that, once the male Litleo evolve into Pyroar, new prides may begin to appear, causing the Pyroar/Litleo species to become less and less rare in Hora over the coming years.

Behavior
As wild Pyroar, the pride are social Pokémon with members of their own species, but are otherwise quite solitary. The female Pyroar do the hunting, while the males, particularly the leader of the pride, protect the rest of the group from harm. Both males and females are very protective of the younger Litleo and can become violent if they are threatened. Once the male Litleo evolve into Pyroar, they must leave the pride and form their own. However, one or two other male Pyroar may linger around the pride. The reasons for this are unknown.

On rare occasions, a female Pyroar will sometimes leave the group and become nomadic, though Professor Changi notes that this hasn't happened in some years.

Abilities
The abilities of the pride as a whole are largely unknown.
