Read more ↓Tepig is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V as one of the three starter Pokémon from the Unova region. Known as the Fire Pig Pokémon, it is characterized by its playful and determined nature. Tepig's natural habitat often includes grasslands and forests where it can forage for food and practice its fire-based attacks. Its diet primarily consists of berries, which it is known to roast with its fiery snout before consuming. Tepig evolves into Pignite at level 17, and then into Emboar at level 36, forming a powerful Fire/Fighting-type evolutionary line. In the Pokémon games, Tepig is a popular choice for trainers due to its strong offensive capabilities and access to powerful Fire-type moves early in the adventure. In the anime, Ash Ketchum owned a Tepig, showcasing its loyalty and growth throughout its journey. Its design, reminiscent of a young pig, contributes to its widespread appeal and instantly recognizable presence within the Pokémon universe. The Unova region, where Tepig originates, marked a significant shift in the Pokémon franchise, introducing 156 new Pokémon and a new narrative direction.
