Fire starter. Incineroar's Fire/Dark typing handles two E4 members. Fire crushes Molayne's Steel team, Dark handles Acerola's Ghost team. Litten itself breezes through Mallow and Sophocles on the way there.

Pokedex Entry

If you try too hard to get close to it, it won’t open up to you. Even if you do grow close, giving it too much affection is still a no-no.

Its coat regrows twice a year. When the time comes, Litten sets its own body on fire and burns away the old fur.

Litten Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, For a casual playthrough, Litten works as a placeholder. Fire coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Torracat. That's where the stats start mattering.

Game Availability

Since Sun & Moon, Litten has been obtainable in 4 games. A Generation 7 debut means a shorter history, but Litten has appeared steadily across every generation since.
