Tepig is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in the fifth generation of the Pokémon series. It resembles a small, pig-like creature with orange and black fur, a curly tail, and a distinctive snout. Tepig evolves into Pignite and then into Emboar as it gains experience in battles. As a starter Pokémon, Tepig is often chosen by trainers at the beginning of their journey in the Unova region. It is known for its ability to use fire-based moves, making it effective against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel-type Pokémon. Tepig's friendly nature makes it a popular choice among trainers.
