How does Litleo's evolution work in Pokemon GO?

Litleo is just one of the many new Pokemon added to Pokemon GO when Niantic introduced critters from the Kalos Region. Players have taken notice of the Lion Cub Pokemon's interesting evolution patterns. Even in the main series games, Litleo has had two different variants upon evolving.

Litleo and its evolution were first released in the sixth generation of the main series of Pokemon games. Many Pokemon GO players who skipped the series may not know how to evolve it into Pyroar.

In Pokemon GO, players looking to evolve their Litleo are going to need to first collect the required candy. Litleo evolves through the use of Litleo candy which is granted every time the player either walks with Litleo as their assigned Buddy Pokemon or catches a wild Litleo. After the amount of candy has been obtained, the player can then evolve their Litleo.

Pyroar is one of the few Pokemon in Pokemon GO to have a completely different look when it evolves depending on its gender. While the method of evolution remains the same between genders, the visual design varies heavily. Male Pyroar are easily distinguished by the large fiery mane that surrounds their face. Female Pyroar are determined much in the same fashion except rather than a mane, their hair is only in a long strand off the top of their head and down their back. For players wanting one version over the other, they would simply have to evolve the specific gender of the form they desire.
