Pignite (Japanese: チャオブー Chaoboo) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon. It evolves from Tepig starting at level 17 and evolves into Emboar starting at level 36.
Pignite is a bipedal, pig-like Pokémon. Its chubby body is orange with black around its shoulders, sides, belly, hands, and from the back of its head down its snout. There are yellow markings encircling its wrist, and yellow bumps on its chest with swirled designs. It has a red pig-like nose, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth that protrude from its lower jaw. Its hands have two claws each, while its feet have only a single nail. Its tail is curly with a tuft of fur at the tip.
Pignite has a fire in its stomach, which it fuels with food. The intensity of this flame increases as fuel is added or when Pignite is angered. As the flame grows stronger, Pignite's speed increases. When in trouble, Pignite emits smoke. Its signature move is Heat Crash.
