Piloswine (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Piloswine is a big, brown, furry Pokémon with an impressive hump on its back. It also has two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be lethal. These tusks thicken when it snows, and they are smaller on a female Piloswine than on a male. It has floppy ears that are sensitive to sound. Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur. As it is usually unable to see, it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Its hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hoofed legs. Despite the small size of its legs, these hooves ensure even footing on icy ground. Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|icy caves}}, mountainous regions and frozen tundra. It often digs for food buried beneath snow and ice.

In [[EP250]], [[Nurse Joy]]'s Piloswine wore a sled and was used for traveling fast through the [[Ice Cave]].

** 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 a [[Move Reminder]] in exchange for a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}.

Piloswine's size and appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the [[Ice Path]] in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}. It also share traits with {{wp|mastodon}}s and {{wp|mammoth}}s the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution.<!--Mammoths were grazers, while mastodons were browsers, a behavior similar to that talked about in most of Piloswine's Generation III Pokédex entries.-->
