Piloswine (Japanese: イノムー Inomoo) is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Swinub starting at level 33 and evolves into Mamoswine when leveled up while knowing AncientPower.
Biology
Piloswine is a big brown furry Pokémon with an impressive hump on its back, giving it a hunchbacked appearance. It also has two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be lethal, and floppy ears which are sensitive to sound. These tusks thicken when it snows, and they are smaller on a female Piloswine than on a male. Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur. Its shaggy coat makes it unable to see, so it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Its hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hooved legs. Despite the small size of its legs, these hooves ensure even footing on icy ground.
Piloswine is strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. In the wild, it jealously guard its herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. When domesticated, it is loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their Trainer's expectations of them. If Piloswine charges at an enemy, the hairs on its back stand up straight. It is very sensitive to sound, and because its long hair obscures its sight, it will continue charging repeatedly.
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra. It often digs for food buried beneath snow and ice.
In the anime
Major appearances
Dawn's Piloswine
Dawn's Swinub evolved into a Piloswine in Sleepless in Pre-Battle. It later evolved into Mamoswine in A Breed Stampede!.
Pryce's Piloswine
Pryce's Piloswine first appeared in As Cold as Pryce. Pryce thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young Pokémon Trainer after the two of them got hit by a Magmar's Fire Blast and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the Gym battle against Ash in the following episode.
Other
In EP250, Nurse Joy's Piloswine wore a sled and was used for traveling fast through the Ice Cave.
Minor appearances
Piloswine made its animated debut in Celebi: Voice of the Forest as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.
A Piloswine was among the Pokémon resting in some hot springs in Entei at Your Own Risk.
A Piloswine under the ownership of an unknown Trainer battled in a qualifying match for the Silver Conference in A Claim to Flame!.
In Pichu Bros. in Party Panic during the chase between the Pichu Brothers and a Houndour, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.
A Piloswine appeared in the opening scenes of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Trivia
- Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn AncientPower by breeding or by evolution of a shadow Swinub caught in Pokémon XD. Despite this, it cannot evolve into Mamoswine in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and Lickitung the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
- Due to their unique type combination, Piloswine and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are resistant to damage from all types of weather effects without the aid of an Ability. However, unlike Swinub, Piloswine cannot legitimately be a Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD, where Shadow Sky was introduced, and as such will still take damage from it.
- Of all the Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve, Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
- It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by a Move Reminder in exchange for a Heart Scale.
Origin
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a yak, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in Northern Johto, and a boar. It also share traits with mastodons/mammoths the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution.
Name origin
Piloswine is a combination of pilose (to be covered in distinct hairs) and swine. Pilo may also refer to the Pliocene period, the time period when the arctic ice cap—or pillow—formed, referring to the Pokémon's puffy appearance.
Inomoo may be a combination of 猪 inoshishi (boar) and ブーブー bū bū (an onomatopoeia for oinking).
