In the World of Pokémon, there lives a vast number and variety of amazing creatures to befriend and collect. Every week, we will be focusing on a single one of these Pokémon or evolutionary line and talking about what makes it special. This week's Pokémon of choice is the Litten line!
The Fire-type starter of Generation VII, Litten is introduced in Iki town as a beginning choice for new trainers. The first feline starter, Litten's strong points stand in it's speed and attack. And, like most cats, it's noted that Litten tend to be rather emotionless, only displaying snippets of its feelings in certain situations. Litten also groom themselves like most cats do, and of course have the typical trouble with hairballs - however, instead of simply coughing it's hair up, it collects the hair in its stomach and uses it to ignite a fiery attack on its opponents.
Torracat, Litten's evolution, is a little less reserved than it's pre-evolution. Around it's neck is not a bell, but instead a flame sack that spews and rises when Torracat's emotions are heightened. When it releases these flames, it does make the sound of a bell however, adding to it's imitation. Torracat has another organ hidden in its mane, allowing it to sense foes and prey in dark areas. With that ability and Torracat's love of fighting, surely there's place it can't pick a fight in!
Incineroar, Litten's final evolution, adds the Dark-type to its line. With its high attack and violent outbursts, Incineroar are known for their destructive and disobedient tendencies, even with trainers they're close to. Much like Torracat, Incineroar also has a notable flame organ in its naval, being able to shoot flames from the area when incited. The flames of course come from within its body, and become more powerful when Incineroar becomes agitated.
Overall, Litten goes from a reserved kitten to an outlandish fighter fairly quickly in the game. In other words, Litten goes from 1 to 34 real quick. B)
Here are some questions to consider to get conversation rolling. You don't have to answer all of them or any of them in your post as long as you're staying on topic and within global forum rules.
