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.
Biology
Physiology
Pignite is a chubby pig-like Pokémon that sports orange, black, and yellow coloration. Tiny beginnings of tusks protrude from the lower jaw of its wide mouth, and its black, tapered ears are on the top of its head. The black coloration from there extends down to its nose, which, like its pre-evolution Tepig, is red and piglike. Black coloration encompasses the shoulders, sides, and underbelly of Pignite, which resembles a Greco-Roman amateur wrestling singlet. Gold-colored, swirling features adorn its chest on the black pattern, and the pattern forms spiky shapes on the lower underbelly. The forelimbs of Pignite have glove-like patterns, with gold bands at the “wrists” and black at the tips of the “hands”, which have two claws. Its legs are small with a single nailed toe, and its curled, wiry black tail is tipped with a puffy feature.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It can flare up the fire inside its body to make itself stronger and faster. When it is angered, its fire heats up.
Behavior
Pignite uses food as fuel for the burning fire inside its belly. When it is in trouble, it emits smoke.

Trivia
Origin
Pignite is based on a pig or boar in a professional wrestler's or possibly a lucha libre's singlet. It, its prevolution and its evolution, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese origin, it may have been based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Infernape is also based on another character from the novel, Sun Wukong, and has a similar design.
Name origin
Pignite is a combination of pig and ignite. Chaoboo seems to come from the Chinese 超 chāo (super) or 炒 chǎo (stir frying), and the Japanese 豚 buta (pig); or ブー bū, (oink).
