'''NA''': ''Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokémon. Instead of breathing fire from its mouth or ears, Tepig does so from its nostrils.

'''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!''

* Tepig and its fellow {{2v2|Black|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 has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]].
* Tepig was designed by [[Lee HyunJung]].<ref name=1up>''How Pokemon Get Made'', 1up.com ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130510123211/http://www.1up.com/news/how-pokemon-get-made Archive])</ref> Tepig in particular was the first [[Generation V]] first partner Pokémon to be created.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

* In {{g|Black and White}}, Tepig, along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, has the lowest [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28.

** From {{g|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.

* Tepig, along with the other two Unova starter Pokémon, are the only starter Pokémon to evolve at an odd number: 17.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Tepig is based on a {{wp|Saddleback (pig)|saddleback piglet}}. It and {{p|Pignite|its}} {{p|Emboar|evolutions}}, as stated by [[Ken Sugimori]], were designed in a Chinese style.
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.<ref name=1up/> The specific breed of pig that Tepig is based on may have been the {{wp|British Saddleback}}.
 
[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.<ref name=ND201/> Because of this, Tepig may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Snivy}}, Tepig, and {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>
 
Tepig's Typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.
