Tepig is a small quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon that resembles a piglet. Its plump body, which gets fatter towards its rump, is mainly a bright fiery orange color. Its ears, forehead, backside, tail, and the tips of its front feet are black. It has long ears, large eyes with black pupils, and a distinctly pig-like pink nose with two large nostrils. It has a short yellow stripe extending vertically across the front of its face, just above its nose. It has a short curly tail with a round red orb at the tip; the orb at the tip of Tepig's tail glows when it uses its Fire-type attacks.

Tepig shoots fire from its nostrils, but when it is unhealthy the fire it exhales from its nose becomes black smoke. When it's delighted, it wags its tail rapidly.

Tepig (Japanese: ポカブ, Hepburn: Pokabu) (TEH-pig[1]) is a Fire-type First partner Pokémon of the Unova region, introduced in Generation V. Tepig is one of three First partner Pokémon of Unova that trainers can choose from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, along with Oshawott, Pikachu and Snivy.

Biology

Physiology

Tepig concept artwork

Concept artwork of Tepig.

Tepig is a small quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon that resembles a piglet. Its plump body, which gets fatter towards its rump, is mainly a bright fiery orange color. Its ears, forehead, backside, tail, and the tips of its front feet are black. It has long ears, large eyes with black pupils, and a distinctly pig-like pink nose with two large nostrils. It has a short yellow stripe extending vertically across the front of its face, just above its nose. It has a short curly tail with a round red orb at the tip; the orb at the tip of Tepig's tail glows when it uses its Fire-type attacks.

Behavior

Tepig shoots fire from its nostrils, but when it is unhealthy the fire it exhales from its nose becomes black smoke. When it's delighted, it wags its tail rapidly.

Tepig mostly eat berries and roasts them before eating.

Natural abilities

Tepig can use its nose to breath out flames.

Evolution

Tepig evolves into Pignite, a Fire/Fighting-type, at level 17. Pignite evolves into Emboar at level 36.

Ash Tepig

Ash's Tepig.

Main article: Ash's Pignite

Tepig made its first appearance in In the Shadow of Zekrom! Ash caught his own Tepig in BW004: The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!, later evolving into Pignite during a battle against his former cruel trainer, Shamus.

Manga

Pokemon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Black owns a Tepig.

Trivia

  • Tepig is the third First partner Pokémon to be a mammalian, with the first two being Cyndaquil and Chimchar. It is also the third Fire-type Pokémon to be mammalian, continuing the trail, though it is broken by the Water-typed Otter Pokémon Oshawott, both in the same region.
  • A silhouette of Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott was released on May 9, 2010, during an episode of Pokémon Sunday. An actual photo of the three starters was shown in an issue of CoroCoro magazine on May 12. It was shown again on November 22 for the official English names.
  • Tepig is the only Unova region starter to be a quadruped, being that Oshawott and Snivy both walk on two legs. When it evolves into Pignite and Emboar, it walks around on two legs as well.
  • Tepig is the only Unova Starter to gain a second type as it evolves.
  • Tepig is one of the playable characters in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, where he wishes to participate in the Battle Tournament. He seeks to prove that he can be as brave and strong as his mentor, Emboar.
  • Tepig is the heaviest out of the Fire-type First partner Pokémon.

Origin

Tepig is based on a Vietnamese-Pot Bellied Piglet. As the Unova starters are based on historical empires, Tepig is based on the Chinese Empire.

Etymology

Tepig comes from tepid (meaning slightly warm) and pig.

Its Japanese name, Pokabu, is derived from ぽかぽか pokapoka (warmth circulating through one's body), 豚 buta (pig), or ブー bū, (oink). It may also incorporate pork (pig meat).
