'''Pignite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャオブー''' ''Chaoboo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Tepig}} starting at [[level]] 17 and evolves into {{p|Emboar}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pignite is a bipedal, pig-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its chubby body is orange with brown bands around its shoulders, sides, belly, hands, and from the back of its head down its snout. Yellow bands encircle its wrists and swirled yellow designs bulge from its chest. It has a red pig-like nose, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth that protrude from its lower jaw. Its hands have two claws each, while its feet have only a single nail. Its tail is curled with a tuft of fur at the tip.
Pignite is a chubby pig-like Pokémon that sports orange, black, and yellow coloration. Tiny beginnings of tusks protrude from the lower jaw of its wide mouth, and its black, tapered ears are on the top of its head. The black coloration from there extends down to its nose, which, like its pre-evolution Tepig, is red and piglike. Black coloration encompasses the shoulders, sides, and underbelly of Pignite, which resembles a Greco-Roman amateur wrestling singlet. Gold-colored, swirling features adorn its chest on the black pattern, and the pattern forms spiky shapes on the lower underbelly. The forelimbs of Pignite have glove-like patterns, with gold bands at the “wrists” and black at the tips of the “hands”, which have two claws. Its legs are small with a single nailed toe, and its curled, wiry black tail is tipped with a puffy feature.


====Gender differences====
Pignite is willing to defend its friends from opponents, no matter how strong they are. It has a fire in its stomach, which it fuels with food. This fire can affect its body temperature. The intensity of this flame increases as fuel is added or when Pignite is angered. As the flame grows stronger, Pignite's speed increases. On occasion, Pignite's body temperature will go so high that it becomes engulfed by a scorching fireball. However, it has no strength remaining whenever it has an empty stomach. If in danger, it will blow out large smoke clouds to escape.  
None.


===Special abilities===
Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Pignite and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.
It can flare up the fire inside its body to make itself stronger and faster. When it is angered, its fire heats up.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Pignite uses food as fuel for the burning fire inside its belly. When it is in trouble, it emits smoke.
Pignite evolves from {{p|Tepig}} and evolves into {{p|Emboar}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Pignite is the third evolved {{type|Fire}} starter in a row to be a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon, after {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Monferno}}.
* Pignite was revealed internationally in the opening ''{{so|Black and White}}''.
* Pignite is the only second stage of a [[Generation V]] [[starter Pokémon]] not seen on the [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] of the {{series|Best Wishes}}.
* Pignite was a popular fan name given to {{p|Tepig}} before either Pokémon's English name was officially revealed.
* Pignite is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 418.
<!--
* The {{p|Tepig}} family are the only Generation V [[starter Pokémon]] to have a [[signature move]], {{m|Heat Crash}}.
* Pignite and its evolutionary relatives were created by [[Lee HyunJung]].<ref>''How Pokemon Get Made'', 1up.com ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130510123211/http://www.1up.com/news/how-pokemon-get-made Archive])</ref>
* Pignite was revealed internationally in the [[Black and White (song)|opening]] for [[Pokémon: Black & White]].
That 1up article only mentions Lee as the creator of Tepig, it mentions nothing about her designing Pignite and Emboar. Needs a better source
* The Tepig family is the only Fire-type {{pkmn2|starter}} family where no members have names that start with "C".
-->
* Pignite was a popular fan name given to Tepig before either's English name was officially revealed.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Pignite is based on a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|boar}} in a {{wp|professional wrestler}}'s or possibly a {{wp|lucha libre}}'s singlet. It, its {{p|Tepig|prevolution}} and its {{p|Emboar|evolution}}, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese origin, it may have been based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on another character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design.
[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.<ref name=ND201/> Because of this, they may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Servine}}, Pignite, and {{p|Dewott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
 
Appearance-wise, Pignite looks much like a {{wp|British Saddleback}} with elements of a {{wp|wild boar}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirls on its chest resemble the patterns on a {{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}} or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.
 
Pignite's Typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient welfare reported by a couple Greek military writers.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Pignite is a combination of ''pig'' and ''ignite''. Chaoboo seems to come from the Chinese 超 ''chāo'' (super) or 炒 ''chǎo'' ({{wp|stir frying}}), and the Japanese 豚 ''buta'' (pig); or ブー bū, (oink).
Pignite may be a combination of ''pig'' and ''ignite''. It may also be derived from ''lignite'', a low-grade coal.
 
Chaoboo may be a combination of 超 ''chāo'' (Chinese for super) or 炒 ''chǎo'' (Chinese for {{wp|stir frying|stir-fry}}) and 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or ブー '''' (oink).

Pignite (Japanese: チャオブー Chaoboo) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Tepig starting at level 17 and evolves into Emboar starting at level 36.

Biology

Pignite is a bipedal, pig-like Pokémon. Its chubby body is orange with brown bands around its shoulders, sides, belly, hands, and from the back of its head down its snout. Yellow bands encircle its wrists and swirled yellow designs bulge from its chest. It has a red pig-like nose, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth that protrude from its lower jaw. Its hands have two claws each, while its feet have only a single nail. Its tail is curled with a tuft of fur at the tip.

Pignite is willing to defend its friends from opponents, no matter how strong they are. It has a fire in its stomach, which it fuels with food. This fire can affect its body temperature. The intensity of this flame increases as fuel is added or when Pignite is angered. As the flame grows stronger, Pignite's speed increases. On occasion, Pignite's body temperature will go so high that it becomes engulfed by a scorching fireball. However, it has no strength remaining whenever it has an empty stomach. If in danger, it will blow out large smoke clouds to escape.

Prior to Generation VIII, Pignite and its evolutionary relatives were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Heat Crash.

Evolution

Pignite evolves from Tepig and evolves into Emboar.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

  • Pignite was revealed internationally in the opening Black and White.
  • Pignite was a popular fan name given to Tepig before either Pokémon's English name was officially revealed.

Origin

Ken Sugimori has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.[1] Because of this, they may be based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Servine, Pignite, and Dewott's evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the Unova region.[1]

Appearance-wise, Pignite looks much like a British Saddleback with elements of a wild boar in a wrestling singlet. The swirls on its chest resemble the patterns on a ding or ancient Greek pottery.

Pignite's Typing might be a reference to war pigs, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient welfare reported by a couple Greek military writers.

Name origin

Pignite may be a combination of pig and ignite. It may also be derived from lignite, a low-grade coal.

Chaoboo may be a combination of 超 chāo (Chinese for super) or 炒 chǎo (Chinese for stir-fry) and 豚 buta (pig) or ブー (oink).
