History
Mega Evolution Specials
Prior to the events of Mega Evolution Special II, he fought Alain's Charmeleon and won. In the episode itself, Pyroar, under Lysandre's supervision, interrupted a battle with Alain's Charizard and Steven's Metagross with Flamethrower. Pyroar is always out of his Poké Ball.
In Mega Evolution Special III, he was seen with Lysandre while the latter instructed Alain and Steven.
In another flashback in Mega Evolution Special IV Pyroar is there when Lysandre gives Alain a Mega Ring and a Charizardite X.
Pokémon the Series: XY
Pyroar made his main series debut in From A to Z!. In Coming Apart at the Dreams!, Lysandre used him alongside his Shiny Mega Gyarados to battle Ash and Alain, but he was defeated in a joint effort from Ash's Pokémon and Alain's Mega Charizard X.
His whereabouts following the disappearance of his Trainer are unknown.
Personality and characteristics
Pyroar, as seen in Mega Evolution Special II, is very loyal to Lysandre, always following and helping him in any way he can. He is also a serious and a very tight challenger. In addition, Pyroar has a seemingly high temperament against others, except for his owner. When Pyroar distracted Alain's Mega Charizard X and Steven's Mega Metagross from their battle, and the two Pokémon reacted to him, Pyroar snarled furiously at them, owing to his fiery nature.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Pyroar first appeared in Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change. He was first seen with Lysandre in Lysandre Café, where he was used to scare Trevor into giving up a picture that was taken in Vaniville Town. Pyroar was stopped by Diantha, who had her Gardevoir Mega Evolve to make him back off.
In Pyroar Breathes, when X infiltrated the Team Flare Secret HQ to stop Team Flare's plan, Lysandre used Pyroar and the rest of his team to attack the intruder. It initially battled X's Salamè before it was recalled. Afterward, Pyroar battled X's Kanga and Li'l Kanga. With the heat of its flames, Pyroar forced Li'l Kanga into hiding back inside its mother's pouch to avoid being burned. When Kanga attempted to retaliate, Pyroar easily overpowered it and slammed it onto the ground.
In Yveltal Steals, Pyroar was used alongside Lysandre's other Pokémon to battle Mewtwo at the Pokémon Village in order to capture it. When Lysandre's plan to trick Mewtwo into battling X and Blue and weaken it enough for capture failed, Pyroar and the rest of Lysandre's team battled against Mewtwo again after it Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo Y. When Lysandre summoned Essentia and had her use Zygarde's Land's Wrath, the attack's area of effect hit Pyroar and Mienfoo as well, knocking them both out.
When Y had her Solsol attack Lysandre in order to take the Mega Ring off of his hand, Lysandre had Pyroar attack to get Solsol off. Though it managed to throw Solsol off, Lysandre's Mega Ring was taken, causing him to lose the ability to use Mega Evolution. Afterward, Pyroar and Gyarados were used to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. Due to X using multiple Mega Evolutions at once, he was unable to focus on anything other than Zygarde, leaving him wide open to be attacked by Pyroar and Gyarados. Before their attacks could reach, Blaine and Blue arrived and defeated Pyroar and Gyarados with Mewtwo and Charizard, respectively.
