Trivia
- Despite being based on a pig, neither Tepig or any of its evolutionary relatives are part Ground-type. Instead, it picks up Fighting as its secondary typing.
- Tepig's japanese name is derived from ぽかぽか pokapoka, warmth circulating through one's body, combined with 豚 buta, pig; or ブー bū, "oink". Its english name comes from "tepid" and "pig".
- 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 Cocoro magazine on May 12. It was shown again on November 22 for the official English names.
- It is the only Unova region starter to ,be quadrapeded being that Oshawott and Snivy both walk on two. But when it evolves into Pignite and Emboar it walks around on two.
