'''Pryce's Piloswine''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギのイノムー''' ''Yanagi's Inomoo'') is [[Pryce]]'s main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} and games.


'''Pryce's Piloswine''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギのイノムー''' ''Yanagi's Inomoo'') is [[Pryce]]'s main [[Pokémon]] in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. It is voiced by 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' in both English and Japanese.
==In the anime==
[[File:Pryce and Piloswine.png|thumb|left|220px|Piloswine and Pryce]]
Pryce had obtained Piloswine somewhere in his youth and the two were very close to each other. During a tournament Pryce entered in, Piloswine managed to defeat a {{p|Nidoking}} with a {{m|Take Down}}, a {{p|Golem}} with a {{m|Fury Attack}}, and an {{p|Ursaring}} with a {{m|Blizzard}}, freezing it in the process. Piloswine was on a roll until it went up against a Trainer with a {{p|Magmar}}. Pryce was confident that Piloswine was going to defeat Magmar, though. The battle began and one of Magmar's attacks burnt the {{type|Ice}}. When Magmar used {{m|Fire Blast}} to finish it off, Pryce jumped in the way to prevent it from getting hurt. As a result, both Pryce and Piloswine suffered grave burns and were taken to a cottage. Suddenly, Piloswine stepped outside into a snowstorm, seemingly abandoning Pryce in disgust for the defeat. Shocked, Pryce angrily yelled at it for leaving him after everything he had done for it, but Piloswine kept walking away until disappearing. This resulted in Pryce growing bitter and distant toward Pokémon in general.


As seen in the flashbacks in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pryce had his Piloswine when he was a young man, and treated it like family. One day, when they were up against a {{p|Magmar}}, Pryce protected his Piloswine from Magmar's {{m|Fire Blast}} with his own body, and as a result they were both burned badly. Piloswine left to find herbs that would help heal Pryce's burns, but got frozen on the way back, leaving Pryce to think it abandoned him.
Many years later, {{Ash}} and Pryce went into a cave where they found Piloswine trapped in ice, with some herbs by its side. It was revealed that Piloswine had stepped into the blizzard in order to get some herbs to cure Pryce from his burns, but fell down and became frozen. Heartbroken, Pryce realized his huge misunderstanding. Ash melted the ice surrounding Piloswine with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and then had {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunder Shock}} on the Pokémon to revive it. It looked like Piloswine wouldn't wake up no matter how many times it was shocked, but after many attempts, it finally revived. This one showed that it remembered its Trainer, and Pryce was ecstatic to reunite with his old friend. Piloswine then used Rest to recover from the wounds it suffered. Ash, Pryce, and Piloswine left the cave and reunited with [[Sheila]], {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. {{TRT}} showed up and Piloswine took on their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Piloswine proceeded to attack them with Fury Attack first and then froze them with Blizzard, leaving Pikachu to finish them off. Having a change of heart, Pryce finally accepted Ash's challenge.
[[File:EP238.png|thumb|220px|Piloswine preparing to battle against Ash's Pikachu]]
In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'', Pryce groomed Piloswine before his upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. He sent it out after his {{p|Dewgong}} was defeated by Cyndaquil. Piloswine began with Blizzard which took Cyndaquil out in one hit. Pikachu was then sent out. Pikachu was hit by Piloswine's barrage of Blizzard attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this after one of the Blizzards formed an ice pillar, by having him slide under Piloswine and use {{m|Thunder}}. This hurt Piloswine, but it used Rest to recover. After waking up, Piloswine countered Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} with a combination of Take Down and Fury Attack. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} but it had no effect this time. Piloswine once again used the earlier used combo and started to get tired. Pryce threw in the towel and went up to Piloswine, rewarding it for a job well done.


Years later, {{Ash}} and Pryce found Piloswine frozen, and helped it out. Pryce and Piloswine were reunited. The following day, Pryce used it in a battle against Ash. It defeated {{AP|Cyndaquil}} easily and put up a fierce battle against {{AP|Pikachu}} before Pryce forfeited as Piloswine became tired.
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.


==Moves used==
===Personality and characteristics===
* {{m|Rest}}
Piloswine is considered to be part of Pryce's family, as seen in various flashbacks during its debut episode. This was especially shown when, during a battle with a Magmar, Pryce put his own body in harms way to protect his Pokémon from taking a hit from a Fire Blast. However, Pryce's opinion about Piloswine changed after it left and didn't come back. Pryce's bitter feelings towards being abandoned by his beloved Pokémon lasted for years, until he and Ash found Piloswine frozen in a cave with some herbs meant to heal his then injured Trainer's burns. This showed Piloswine's own caring nature towards Pryce. With both Trainer and Pokémon's relationship repaired, Pryce was once again shown to be very protective of Piloswine when he willingly forfeited his Gym match against Ash after the Swine Pokémon started to get exhausted from the battle.
* {{m|Blizzard}}
 
* {{m|Take Down}}
In battle, Piloswine was shown to be quite the powerhouse of Pryce's team. In Ash's Gym battle against the Ice-type Gym Leader, Piloswine was shown to be able to withstand many attacks, while using Rest to recover from any damage it did take. It was also able to overpower its opponents with moves such as Blizzard and Take Down.
* {{m|Fury Attack}}

==In the games==
As mentioned above, Piloswine is also Pryce's main Pokémon in the games. He uses it during the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against the player in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the HeartGold and SoulSilver [[rematch]]es, it has evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}. Pryce also uses Piloswine in both rounds of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
 
Piloswine is absent in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] of {{B2W2}}, as Pryce uses Mamoswine instead.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pryce Piloswine L31 Fury Attack GSC.png|thumb|Pryce's [[Game move errors|erroneous]] Piloswine]]
* In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Pryce owns a level 31 Piloswine that knows {{m|Fury Attack}}, which Piloswine does not learn until level 33. Additionally, {{p|Swinub}} does not learn the move at all, which means it cannot know it at a lower level due to breeding.
