Tepig
#004Unova / #498 National
Type:
Fire
Classification: Fire Pig Pokemon
Abilities: Blaze – increases power of Fire-type moves by 1.5 if Pokemon has less than 1/3 HP remaining
Dream World abilities: Thick Fat – provides 50% protection from Fire- and Ice-type moves
Location Found:Unova starter
Egg groups: Ground
Gender ratio: Male 87.5% / Female 12.5%
Effort values: 1 Attack
Evolution: Tepig >Pigniteat level 17 >Emboarat level 36

Oh, Tepig. What are we going to do with you? We had such hopes when we saw your first stage, but your final evolution is such a disappointment design-wise. On the plus side,Tepig is the only dual-type starter this generation, but disappointingly it's the same old Fire/Fighting combination we've seen for the past two generations, making a total of three Fire/Fighting starters.
