Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

X / Omega Ruby	The male with the largest mane of fire is the leader of the pride.
Y / Alpha Sapphire	With fiery breath of more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, they viciously threaten any challenger. The females protect the pride’s cubs.
Ultra Sun	The males are usually lazy, but when attacked by a strong foe, a male will protect its friends with no regard for its own safety.
Ultra Moon	The temperature of its breath is over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but Pyroar doesn’t use it on its prey. This Pokémon prefers to eat raw meat.
