Piloswine (Japanese: イノムー Inomoo) is an Ice/Ground-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Plioswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks which seem small, but can be pretty lethal.
In the 3D Pokémon console games, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head, however these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.
Gender differences
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.
Special abilities
Behavior
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are 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.

Diet

In the anime
Piloswine first appeared in 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 in front of a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce was able to let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the Gym Battle during the next episode.
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.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Piloswine appeared in Template:PSV under the control of Keane, who used its sheer power to devastate Ecruteak City with an Earthquake. However, Silver defeated it easily with Gold's Politoed.

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.
- Of 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 Pastoria City's move relearner in exchange for a Heart Scale.
Origin
It appears to have been based on a boar.
Name origin
A combination of pilose and swine (pig).
