Trivia
Origin
Pignite is based on a pig or boar in a professional wrestler's or possibly a lucha libre's singlet. It, its prevolution and its evolution, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese origin, it may have been based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Infernape is also based on another character from the novel, Sun Wukong, and has a similar design.
Name origin
Pignite is a combination of pig and ignite.
Chaoboo may be a combination of 超 chāo (Chinese for super) or 炒 chǎo (Chinese for stir frying) and 豚 buta (pig) or ブー bū (oink).
