[OVERVIEW]
Litleo looks good at first glance due to it having Flame Charge to boost its Speed and the ability Moxie to become a fearsome sweeper. However, because of its Normal typing and poor bulk, it is easily taken care of by Timburr and Mienfoo. Litleo is also outclassed by other Fire-types like Ponyta, which has better bulk, power, and a chance to burn physical Pokemon with its ability Flame Body.

[SET]
name: Moxie Sweeper
move 1: Flare Blitz
move 2: Return
move 3: Flame Charge
move 4: Wild Charge / Hidden Power Grass
item: Firium Z
ability: Moxie
nature: Jolly
evs: 20 HP / 196 Atk / 52 Def / 4 SpD / 180 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
With this set, Litleo attempts to set up with Flame Charge to outpace most of the metagame and boost its Attack from KOs thanks to Moxie. However, Litleo fails to do this because it relies on Firium Z to get the first Moxie boost. Without a boost, Litleo fails to do major damage because of its weak Attack along with being vulnerable to priority due to its poor bulk and walled by Onix unless running Hidden Power Grass over Wild Charge. Litleo is outclassed by Ponyta because of its higher Attack, bulk, Speed, and access to reliable recovery in Morning Sun.

Good, could maybe give a shot at slashing HP Grass but I haven't found a good way to do so in testing.

Mention that Litleo is very weak prior to getting its first Moxie boost and so relies on Z Flare Blitz to get that first KO. Also mention that it's hopelessly walled by Onix.

i was gonna suggest a lot of things but then i realized that 15 attack is still incredibly weak.

[SET COMMENTS]
you misspelled Firium Z.
mention speed as a perk of ponyta since that's very relevant.

QC 2/2
