Removing rotating art notice
(Please don't respond to talk comments more than 6 months old. Make a new section if you want to bring it up, but the point is that the evolutionary forms were "not yet created"; Golbat had already been created in Gen III.) |

Err... This might be an obvious question but what does pilose mean? [[User:GlalieGuy|Glalie lv. X 160HP EX Sheer Cold, Heavy Bizzard, δ species (guy)]] | Err...

:::The four you mention with horns on their heads prove that they are ''not'' as discriminating with Peck as you claim. I see no difference in significance between Piloswine using Peck and Seaking or Nidoking using it, and indeed, Piloswine seems to make a lot more sense using Peck than Maractus. On top of that, judging whether a move is unusual for any particular Pokemon is subjective, and thus does not belong on an encyclopedia.

::::Do note that the act of pecking is poking at something with a sharp instrument, such as beaks, horns and tusks.

== Mammoth vs. Mastodon == | |||
The origin section says that Piloswine "also shares traits with mammoths and mastodons the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution". However, Mamoswine is based on a mammoth, not a mastodon, so it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution". | |||
I would've just fixed it but in the source I noticed this little note: | |||
"Mammoths were grazers, while mastodons were browsers, a behavior similar to that talked about in most of Piloswine's Generation III Pokédex entries." | |||
I wasn't sure if it meant that Piloswine was a grazer or a browser - very little in the Pokédex suggests anything about either, and parts that did suggest that Piloswine is a grazer, but I'm still not sure what whoever wrote this section meant. | |||
Either way, the sentence is incorrect. If Piloswine is a grazer, then it should say "the '''former''' of which is expressed in its later evolution". If Piloswine is a browser, like the confusing note in the source suggests, then it should say "'''both''' of which are expressed in its later evolution" - Mamoswine's appearance and name origin shows it is based on a mammoth, and mastodons are browsers. | |||
The grammar in this section is pretty confusing - I've already fixed one mistake and as I'm writing this I already see another. --[[User:Celadonkey|--Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:46, 4 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Evolution Trivia out of date== | |||
The trivia point "Of all the Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve, Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once." is no longer true, as Steenee evolves by knowing Stomp, and already evolved from Bounsweet. Should this trivia point be removed, or edited to incorporate Steenee? My feeling is that it should just be removed.

:If something stops being unique, it generally is not worth trivia section anymore, as far as I know. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 19:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks. Makes sense. I've edited the page to remove that trivia. [[User:Itsdavidbaxter|Itsdavidbaxter]] ([[User talk:Itsdavidbaxter|talk]]) 20:04, 21 December 2016 (UTC) | |||
== Yak? == | |||
Other than it's long shaggy fur, I don't any resemblance to yaks in Piloswine. The resemblance to mammoths I definitely see.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 14:17, 24 April 2019 (UTC) | |||
:It as a humped back and tusks/horns that varies between gender. Add in the shaggy fur, and that's three things it has in common with Yaks, I think it's plausible.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 05:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC) | |||
