TepigMcdonalds Collection 2021 #13 Pokémon Card

Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon, is a beloved starter Pokémon introduced in Generation V alongside Snivy and Oshawott. Hailing from the Unova region, Tepig is a bipedal piglet with a fiery spirit, known for its powerful snout that can breathe fire. As a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it is strong against Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel types, but vulnerable to Water, Ground, and Rock attacks. Tepig evolves into Pignite at level 17 and then into the formidable Emboar at level 36, becoming a Fire/Fighting-type. In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Tepig, highlighting its loyal and determined personality. Its design, inspired by a piglet and a Chinese mythological figure, resonates with fans globally, making it a popular choice for trainers beginning their journey in the Unova region. Tepig’s playful yet determined nature is often showcased in various Pokémon media, endearing it to a wide audience.
