Tepig

Tepig is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon franchise. It is one of the three starter Pokémon available to players in the Unova region, alongside Oshawott and Snivy. Tepig is known for its small, pig-like appearance with a dark brown body and orange markings on its face, ears, and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its fiery tail, which it can ignite to burn opponents.

Tepig evolves into Pignite at level 17, and then into Emboar at level 36. As it evolves, Tepig grows larger and gains additional Fire and Fighting-type characteristics. Pignite is a bipedal Pokémon with a prominent crest of fire on its head, while Emboar is a large, muscular Pokémon resembling a boar, often depicted with fiery hands and a large mane.

In the Pokémon anime, Tepig is the companion of Ash Ketchum during his journey through the Unova region. Ash's Tepig is portrayed as energetic and determined, often overcoming challenges with its fiery spirit. Tepig is a popular choice among players for its offensive capabilities, particularly its strong Fire-type attacks. Its evolution line offers a balanced stat distribution, making it a versatile Pokémon for both in-game playthroughs and competitive battles.
