Litleo (M) @ Life OrbAbility: MoxieLevel: 5EVs: 196 Atk / 132 SpD / 180 SpeAdamant / Jolly Nature- Return- Flame Charge- Wild Charge- Work Up
Well here is a Little Cup moveset for Litleo. Now I know most of you would scold me for using a physical set instead of special, but because special sets are so common it what makes this one so good. First you start off by usingWork Upto raise your Attack and Special Attack, mostly attack. Then youFlame Chargewhich is STAB and raises your speed, where if you get off two or three you will pretty much outspeed anything without a scarf and most things with a scarf. We haveReturnas a secondary STAB move that hits other fire types decently after a few Moxie boost. Finally there isWild Chargeto hit those annoying water types that like to run around the LC metagame. Adamant or Jolly is your choice as speed or power.
Pokenubz (Pyroar) @ Choice Specs / Life OrbAbility: UnnerveEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Fire Blast- Hidden Power Ice- Hyper Voice- Will-O-Wisp / Flamethrower
Okay so Pyroar’s good special attack and speed let you kill things. Specs STAB Fire Blast OHKOs Aegislash which is very nice. Hyper Voice is secondary STAB, hitting types which resist Fire pretty hard, and Hidden Power Ice rounds it off, even with the lowered power still hitting the dragons which are 4x weak to ice hard. The final slot is a tossup between Wil-o-wisp and Flamethrower really - Will-O-Wisp would probably work better on a Life Orb set while Flamethrower on the specs set as an alternative attack with higher accuracy to utilise. Dark Pulse is another option, but Fire Blast outdamages a super effective Dark Pulse so that’s useless. Abilitywise, Unnerve is the safest, with Moxie being useless on a special attacker and Rivalry being conditional and also having a possible negative effect.Kyron likes this pokeman too much. >.>
Pyroar (F)Ability: RivalryEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Fire Blast- Hyper Voice- Dark Pulse- Attract
Fire Blast: STAB, main attack.Hyper Voice: STAB, secondary attack.Dark Pulse: CoverageAttract: Rivalry kicks in for other females and Attract is for males, so you are covered for both male and female Pokemon essentially.
Pyroar @ Focus SashAbility: UnnerveEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HPTimid Nature
OK, this one is the worst Fire-type Pokémon I’ve ever seen. I think Magcargo is still better. Bref,Flamethroweris basically used 85 % of the time, as being a STAB. Simple as that.Hyper Voiceis a STAB, but is lesser powerful thanFlamethrower.Pyroar can pull off some good damage, but is otherwise outclassed. Other than that,Dark Pulseis an option, because that heck Pyroar cannot use better and finallyEndeavourreduces the HP to 1 once the sash was used. That’s it.
Speedy Special Attacker
Pyroar @ Focus SashAbility: UnnerveEVs: 200 SpA / 252 Spe / 56 SpDModest / Timid Nature- Sunny Day- Solar Beam- Flamethrower- Hyper Voice
I like this set a lot. Solarbeam covers 3/4 weaknesses and bounce can be learned via move tutor in oras to take out fourth. Sunny Day has two good uses by powering flamethrower and helping one turn solarbeam. Hope you like!

Echoed Voice Pyroar:
Pyroar @ MetronomeAbility: UnnerveEVs: 252 SpA / 252 HP / 4 SpeModest Nature
Basically, you spam Echoed Voice to get it’s boosts, also boosted by STAB and metronome. If you are worried you don’t have the bulk to boost echoed voice, or get a OHKO with it on your first turn, use Flamethrower, also STAB boosted. Hyper Voice is for fire resistant Pokemon that you don’t have the bulk to Echoed Voice to death. It’s rare you’ll need to use Hyper Voice, as Echoed Voice and Flamethrower are good enough for most things. Noble Roar lowers the attack and sp.atk of your opponents, so you aren’t KOed as easy, so you are asfer when Echoed Voicing. This is especially good against stat boosters, as you don’t risk being KOed while you echoed voice, and it’s boost helps overpower your opponents if it’s Sp.Def. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t have much bulk, as this set would be even better if he did.
Pyroar @ Normal GemAbility: UnnerveEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA/ 252 SpeTimid Nature- Noble Roar / Will-O-Wisp- Fire Blast / Flamethrower- Hyper Beam- Hidden Power [Grass]
Singles use. only should be used in mid-game. Don’t lead off with Pyroar. Great to take out for big threats to teams in my opinion even though he is NU tier. Noble Roar is for those I know that will stay in or Will-O-Wisp for strong physical sweepers to force switches on your opponents team.
Gen 7 NUPyroar @ Choice Specs / Grassium ZAbility: UnnerveEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Hyper Voice- Flamethrower- Dark Pulse- Hidden Power [Ice] / Solar Beam / Hidden Power [Grass]
Hyper Voice is STAB. Flamethrower is also STAB that deals with steel types. Dark Pulse is ghost type coverage. Hidden Ice is for coverage. Solarbeam or HP Grass can be used instead, but if you choose Solarbeam, you’ll need to use Grassium-Z for a one time grass move nuke to deal with rock and water types.
Gen 9 NU StallbreakerPyroar @ Heavy-Duty BootsAbility: UnnerveTera Type: GhostEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Fire Blast- Hyper Voice- Taunt- Will-O-Wisp
Pyroar has use in Gen 9 NU as a fast Fire-type that can stallbreak Pokemon with Taunt. Pyroar’s STAB moves Hyper Voice and Fire Blast are good in NU due to the lack of Pokemon who can resist/switch into both STAB moves. Taunt lets Pyroar shut down defensive Pokemon such as Blissey and Sandaconda by preventing them from using their utility moves. Will-O-Wisp is used to burn physical wallbreakers switching in and is useful to force chip damage on opposing Pokemon. Tera Ghost is nice to turn Pyroar’s Fighting weakness into an immunity and can make Blissey unable to touch you if you Taunt Blissey as it switches in, then Tera to prevent it from using Seismic Toss.
