Emboar (Japanese: エンブオー Enbuoh) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Pignite starting at level 36. It is the final form of Tepig.

Biology

Emboar are bulky, bipedal Pokémon with pig-like features. It has a red nose, large bushy black eyebrows, and two tusks protruding from its lower jaw. Constantly burning flames cover the front of its neck and shoulders. It has short legs and thick arms. Its arms have orange upper portions while the legs have red upper portions. The all limbs have black lower portions with thin yellow lines where the upper and lower colors meet. These lines are straight on the arms and spiked on the legs. The arms have red lines around the wrists and tufts of fur on the elbows. The hands are tipped with three claws, while the feet have two claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar has swirled yellow markings. Its small tail ends in a tuft of hair.

Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire. It uses its power and speed to master fighting moves. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in fire to use its signature move, Heat Crash.

Major appearances

Bianca's Emboar

Emboar made its TV debut in Search for the Clubultimate! under the ownership of Bianca.

Iris's Emolga also battled the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon only to forfeit the battle when Emolga used Volt Switch and sent out Excadrill instead, which caused Iris's loss because substitutions were not allowed during the tournament battles.

Trivia

  • Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that has a different Hidden Ability than its evolutionary relatives.
  • Emboar has the lowest base Special Defense stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
  • Emboar has the highest base HP and Attack stats of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
  • Emboar, Samurott, and Serperior all share the same base stat total of 528.
  • Emboar and its evolutionary relatives were created by Lee HyunJung.

Origin

Emboar is based on the soldier of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.[1] Ken Sugimori has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style. Because of this, Emboar may be based on Zhu Bajie, a pig demon from the Chinese tale Journey to the West. Infernape is also based on a character from the novel, Sun Wukong, and has a similar design. Emboar looks much like a British Saddleback or wild boar in a wrestling singlet. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a ding or ancient Greek pottery. The fire in its Shiny coloration refers to blue fire, which generally indicates a higher temperature than orange fire but may also be caused by certain chemicals burning at a normal temperature.

Name origin

Emboar is a combination of ember and boar. It may also derive from the terms emperor, caesar, or tsar, all of which are used as imperial titles.

Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 en (flame), 豚 buta (pig), 武 bu (martial arts), ブー (oink), and 王 ō (king). It may also be a combination of ember and boar.
