Lenora's Lillipup was revealed before her Gym battle with Ash Ketchum. Iris quickly went up to it as she found it to be a very cute Pokémon. While Lillipup is a lovable Pokémon, it showed in battle that it's cuteness shouldn't mistaken or underestimated when it comes to battling. Lenora's Herdier is a completely different Pokémon all together from Lenora's Lillipup and not the evolved form of this Pokémon.
