Piloswine (Japanese: イノムー Inomoo) is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Swinub starting at level 33 and evolves into Mamoswine when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.
Biology
Piloswine is a big, brown, furry Pokémon with an impressive hump on its back. It also has two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be lethal. These tusks thicken when it snows, and they are smaller on a female Piloswine than on a male. It has floppy ears that are sensitive to sound. Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur. As it is usually unable to see, 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, its hooves ensure even footing on icy ground. 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.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Piloswine and its evolutionary family.
- Piloswine and its evolutionary family are also the only Pokémon weak to the types of all three starter Pokémon.
- According to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Piloswine was designed by Shigeki Morimoto.
Origin
Piloswine's size and appearance seem to be based on a combination of a wild boar and a domestic yak, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the Ice Path in northern Johto. It also shares traits with mammoths and mastodons.
Name origin
Piloswine is a combination of pilose (to be covered in distinct hairs) and swine. It might invoke "pile o' swine", due to its tall and shaggy form. It may also come from the word "Pil" (Elephant in Hebrew).
Inomoo may be a combination of 猪 inoshishi (boar) and ブーブー bū bū (an onomatopoeia for oinking).
