Overview |
Trainers who choose Tepig as their starters may be surprised to learn that Tepig actually resemble their evolutions very little, in terms of personality. While Pignite and Emboar can best be described as “feisty” and “outgoing,” Tepig can more aptly be referred to as “laid-back” and “bashful.” In the wild, Tepig wander idly through fields and grasslands in search of Berries. When they find some, they roast them with fire before consuming them. Tepig can be deceptively nimble when necessary, capable of leaping away of incoming attacks. They shoot fireballs out of their nostrils to deter foes. When ill, however, they will begin spewing black smoke instead. Though initially shy, Tepig are quick to warm up to new things and are very easily excited (foreshadowing the personalities of Pignite and Emboar). They have been known to burn Berries by snorting too much fire when roasting them due to enthusiasm. Thanks to their unique personalities and firepower, Tepig remain common choices for starter Pokémon in Unova.
