Character Sheet: The Tepig Line

TEPIG/PIGNITE/EMBOAR


And now, we come to the Fire starters of Gen IV, and the third that would end up as Fire/Fighting. They are based primarily on pigs, with a little bit of wrestler, and Emboar specifically pulls from Zhu Bajie, the shapeshifting pig demon from Journey to the West and companion of Sun Wukong. Also, they might be the pig from the Chinese Zodiac, but Fuecoco probably officially debunked that whole Fire Starter theory (unless its the snake, and the Pokemon Company made the biggest reach they've ever done. Like, fox for dog and hedgehog for mouse are at least pretty close ballpark. Snake to crocodile is nosebleed section level).

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Ember > Arm Thrust (II)


Side B: Flame Charge > Rollout (III)


Up B: Smog > Heat Crash (II)


Down B: Defense Curl


Final Smash: Flare Blitz > Mega Emboar (it's not "officially" confirmed yet, but . . . come on).


Entrance: Poke Ball


Taunts: Some wrestler poses, rooting around on the ground, hopping around and saying "oink," things like that.


Kirby Hat: Their noses and ears


Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Flame Charge


Spirit Battle: On Infinity Tower


Victory Screen: A wrestler's victory pose.

Losing Screen: Fainted.


Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors. (Definitely want a Ganondorf one)


Thanks for reading! Next up, Oshawott otter do well in this match.
