In the anime
Piloswine first appeared in Cold as Pryce. Pryce thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young Pokémon Trainer after the two of them got hit by a Magmar's Fire Blast and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid in front of a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce was able to let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the Gym Battle during the next episode.

Trivia
- Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn AncientPower by breeding or by evolution of a Shadow Swinub caught in Pokémon XD. Despite this, it cannot evolve into Mamoswine in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and Lickitung the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
- Of the Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve, Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
- It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by Pastoria City's move relearner in exchange for a Heart Scale.
Origin
It appears to have been based on a yak or a boar.
Name origin
A combination of pilose and swine (pig).
