Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

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.
