Why can't I find a male Litleo?

Sep. 28, 2015

So, I’ve restarted my Pokemon X (For those curious people, I have a Lv.12 Pancham and Skiddo, a Lv.17 Vivillion and I’m on Route 7) and I wanted a male Litleo to help me with the first gym. I looked for like two hours and only found 12 female Litleo, no male. I know that there is a 25% to 75% ratio of finding a male, but that would mean I would have found one at least 3 times.

Help?

Although Bulbapedia and Serebii reports a 25% male ratio,Veekunreports a ratio of 12.5%. There might be a mix of rotten luck and incorrect documentation to your issue.

Furthermore, googling seems to find many cases like yours.

If by any chance you have a female Pokémon with abilityCute Charm, I’d recommend putting her as first Pokémon of your party. This way you’ll enjoy a 66% male ratio.
