Pyroar Introduced to Pokemon X/Y

Nintendo dropped the curtain on a brand-new Pokemon today, set to make its debut in the upcoming Pokemon X/Y games. Pyroar (get it? get it?! Read the name)  is an interesting Normal/Fire type with the abilities Rivalry and Unnerve. It's the  the evolved form of Litleo, which was unveiled back on June 14th, and looks like what would happen if Lion-O was an ACTUAL LION. Go figure.

The new monster can learn the Normal-type move "Echoed Voice," which according to the Pokemon Company, makes him a team player as it, "...makes its power grow with every turn. Its power will increase even if other Pokémon use it, so try Echoed Voice out with your allies in Double Battles and Triple Battles to experience its real value.”

Sounds neat. Use Lion-O, I mean, Pyroar in X/Y on the 3DS October 12th.
