Nothing fancy in Litten's spread. It leans mixed with Speed out front. And you'll get 1 Speed EV per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It spends even the smallest amount of downtime grooming its fur with its tongue. Loose fur gathers in its stomach and serves as fuel for fiery moves.
Trying to pet Litten before it trusts you will result in a nasty scratch from its sharp claws. Be careful.
Water, Ground, and Rock moves hit Litten for super-effective damage. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Water, Ground, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy |

Litten kicks off a three-stage evolution line through Torracat all the way to Incineroar. For breeding, quick to hatch with a massive partner pool via one egg group. The evolved forms gain up to 210 total stats over Litten. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed Litten with 278 breeding partners from the Ground egg group.
Litten's locked into one move per switch-in with Choice Scarf, trading flexibility for speed patching through item lock. Parting Shot is the go-to spam option, with the remaining moves keeping switch-ins honest.

Moves
The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Litten's coverage across 8 types all comes from technical machines, built on top of Overheat and Flare Blitz for same-type damage. Flamethrower and Thrash are the payoff moves.

Torracat at level 17 is the mid-stage. Push through to Incineroar at level 34 for the final form. 320 BST right now won't cut it long-term.
Level 17 gets you Torracat. Quick enough that Litten barely slows you down.
