TepigMcdonalds Collection 2011 #3 Pokémon Card

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, Tepig is characterized by its playful and energetic nature. It evolves into Pignite at level 17, which then evolves into Emboar at level 36. Its natural habitat is often depicted as warm, volcanic regions, though as a starter Pokémon, it is primarily encountered through trainers. Tepig's diet is omnivorous, and its behavior often involves snorting smoke from its nose, a unique characteristic that becomes pitch-black when it catches a cold. In the Pokémon games, Tepig and its evolutions are popular choices for their strong offensive capabilities and access to powerful Fire and Fighting-type moves. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Tepig, highlighting its loyalty and determination. Tepig holds cultural significance as a beloved starter, representing the beginning of many trainers' journeys in the Unova region.
