[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style. Because of this, they may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on a character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design. Pignite looks much like a {{wp|British Saddleback}} or {{wp|wild boar}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirls on its chest resemble the patterns on a {{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}} or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.
