[[File:Bianca Pignite.png|thumb|left|225px|As a Pignite]]

Emboar made his debut as a Pignite in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'' when Bianca attempted to use him to capture a wild {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} that had stolen the dirty Badge case that she had given to {{Ash}}. He fought with an impressive {{m|Flame Charge}} attack but Minccino managed to escape it. Though he had overwhelming power, he was taken down by Minccino with a combination of {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}.

Bianca used Pignite to help track down an {{p|Emolga}} that she wanted to capture in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]].'' Unfortunately, he ended up making a wild {{p|Scolipede}} angry when he attacked it with {{m|Flamethrower}}. She used him again in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' where he battled [[Iris's Emolga]] who infatuated him with {{m|Attract}}. Later when Emolga brought out [[Ash's Snivy]] with {{m|Volt Switch}} he continued his battle against her instead. He struggled in the battle, but the winner of the battle was not seen.

In ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'' it was revealed that Pignite had evolved into an Emboar sometime before the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament. He began a battle against [[Trip's Conkeldurr]] in the first round. Demonstrating his new capabilities, {{m|Arm Thrust}} and {{m|Hammer Arm}}, Emboar fought hard, but was unable to break through Conkeldurr's defenses. He was soon smashed into the ground, after Conkeldurr attacked him with a {{m|Bulk Up}} powered {{m|Strength}}, and then trapped by {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Emboar attempted to use Arm Thrust to destroy the rocks surrounding him but grew tired, just as his opponent launched a {{m|Stone Edge}} attack. In the [[BW072|next episode]] Emboar was shown to have caught Conkeldurr's Stone Edge then used {{m|Fling}} to send them back at it. While Conkeldurr was blocking the stones with its concrete pillars, Emboar got closer, snatched the pillars, and used Fling to hurl them at Conkeldurr, defeating the Muscular Pokémon and allowing Bianca to proceed to the next round of the tournament. Later in the second round, Emboar faced [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Bisharp}}. He started the battle with Flamethrower before Georgia could finish her lecture. Flamethrower did a lot of damage to the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. He collided with Bisharp's {{m|Guillotine}} attack with Hammer Arm and after enduring a {{m|Metal Sound}}-{{m|Iron Head}} combo, Emboar won the match with a second Flamethrower. In [[BW073|the next episode]], Emboar faced off against [[Stephan's Sawk]]. After Emboar missed with a Hammer Arm attack, he was hit hard by a {{m|Bulk Up}} powered {{m|Karate Chop}}. Emboar's attacks continued to prove too slow for Sawk's speedy movements and he was defeated by a Bulk Up powered {{m|Close Combat}} attack and a double Karate Chop, eliminating him and Bianca from the tournament.

Emboar was sent out to battle against [[Mikael]]'s {{p|Watchog}} in the first round of the [[Vertress Conference]] in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', and was able to easily defeat the {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. In [[BW104|the second round]], Emboar was the second Pokémon Bianca sent out to face {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}} in her two on two battle against him. Despite the type-disadvantage, Emboar was able to withstand an {{m|Aqua Jet}} attack and a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} before infatuating Samurott with Attract. Emboar then easily beat Samurott with a rapid Arm Thrust and a powerful Hammer Arm. Emboar then had to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. He started with an Arm Thrust attack, however Riolu dodged it and when Emboar attempted a Hammer Arm, Riolu countered with {{m|Circle Throw}}. Emboar stood up, only to be knocked down by multiple {{m|Force Palm}} attacks. He then grabbed the much smaller Riolu and threw it across the battle field, although Riolu was able to recover and land on its feet. Emboar then used Flamethrower, only for it to be dodged and then used back at him through the use of Riolu's {{m|Copycat}}. Emboar was finally knocked out by {{m|Vacuum Wave}}; eliminating Bianca from the Vertress Conference.
