Tepig appears as a stage Pokémon in the Kalos Pokémon League stage. It appears in the Blazing Chamber along with other Fire-type Pokémon, namely Infernape, Blaziken, and Pyroar.
Trophy information
NA: Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. Instead of breathing fire from its mouth or ears, Tepig does so from its nostrils. Powerful in battle, Tepig's fire is also great for roasting berries, though it can get carried away and char them. Even as clumsy as it can be, who could possibly resist such a cute Pokémon?
PAL: Tepig is a Fire Pig Pokémon. It blows fire through...its mouth? Nope... Its ears? That's not right either... Oh, of course - its nose! That skill's not just handy in battle - it also lets Tepig roast its favourite food, berries! Sadly, it sometimes gets a little too excited about the idea and accidentally burns them to a crisp. Ahh, Tepig, you're too adorable!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Tepig appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it plays the same role as in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond
As the player
Tepig appears as one of the player characters in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond. He's very ambitious and has a big heart for a small Pokémon. His dream is to become strong and powerful like his mentor, Emboar, who watches over and protects the Crag Area. When he first meets Pikachu, Oshawott, and Snivy, he challenges them to a battle after having been fired out of a cannon. He later forgives them and decides to accompany them in saving the PokéPark to gain experience and skill to make himself stronger. His special skill is to smash through specially marked boulders and various other obstacles.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
Tepig is also playable in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. The player may choose to be transformed into Tepig, or have the partner be one.
Trivia
- Tepig and its fellow Black and White first partner Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. They were later completely revealed in the June 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
- Tepig was designed by Lee HyunJung.[1] Tepig in particular was the first Generation V first partner Pokémon to be created.[2]
- In Pokémon Black and White, Tepig, along with Snivy and Oshawott, has the lowest experience yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28. This was done specifically for the first two battles of the games, so the player's first partner Pokémon wouldn't level up after defeating Bianca and thus have a level advantage over Cheren.
- From Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 onward, their base experience yield was raised to 62 to bring them in line with the other first partner Pokémon in the series.
Origin
Tepig is based on a piglet. Its ability to shoot fire out of its snout is inspired by the fact that pigs often have trouble regulating their body temperature.[1] The specific breed of pig that Tepig is based on may have been the British Saddleback.
Ken Sugimori has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.[2] Because of this, Tepig may be based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott's evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the Unova region.[2]
Tepig's Typing might be a reference to war pigs, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.
Name origin
Tepig may be a combination of tepid (lukewarm) and pig.
Pokabu may be a combination of ぽかぽか pokapoka (warm) and 豚 buta (pig) or ブー bū (oink).
