Tag: Pignite

Hey Bill! I’m having some problems with my Hawlucha and Pignite. They have been rough housing a lot lately. Now, While this is normal as it more of “play” fighting, it getting to the point of being competitive? Like, they get too into it and start jumping off of tables and the room would be a mess by the time they’re done. Finally, my biggest worry that they may injure themselves during these “wrestling” matches. I tried to separate them but they keep on doing it anyway. Any advice?

You may benefit from giving them a space to battle. If you live in the suburbs of country, establish that they’re not allowed to battle indoors and reinforce this with positive reinforcement (by giving them treats whenever they keep themselves from fighting inside). Then, give them their own battlefield in your yard and be sure to oversee their battles. If you can, obtain a psychic pokémon that can separate them if they get too rowdy.

If you live in the city, however, that psychic pokémon I’ve just suggested may be essential to you, especially if it can learn Disable and possesses some level of precognitive skill. You see, a pokémon that possesses these exact characteristics can either see a fight and stop it before it starts or, if the fight breaks out anyway, use its telekinetic abilities to keep them separate until they cool off. Hence, a psychic-type can serve as an ideal mediator for fighting-types.

After that, of course, you will want to establish a safe place for the two to fight—a park or the courts at your nearest pokémon center, for example. Establish a routine in which you’ll allow them to battle so they’ll know they can regularly spar and fight as aggressively as they’d like without destroying your property.

In other words, the best way to establish boundaries is by offering alternatives and being consistent with your alternatives. Once you teach your hawlucha and pignite that there is quite literally a time and place for everything—including battles—they’ll be less likely to demolish your home and more likely to look forward to this special something every day.

But yes, consider getting a psychic-type too.

The Tepig Line

Tepig
The Fire Pig Pokémon
Type: Fire
Official Registration #: 498
Entry: One of three pokémon traditionally offered to new trainers at the beginning of their journeys in Unova. Noted for its adorable appearance and equally adorable proclivity for exhaling fireballs from its distinctive nose when excited, tepig are not only a popular pet in Unova but also a popular subject in children’s books set in the Unovan countryside. However, because of its proclivity for exhaling fireballs from its distinctive nose when excited, attempting to make live action films of the aforementioned children’s book has frequently been met with disaster.

Pignite
The Fire Pig Pokémon
Type: Fire/Fighting
Official Registration #: 497
Entry: The evolved form of tepig, by battle experience. A hardy and aggressive pokémon, pignite is capable of launching devastating, full-body attacks. In order to fuel these attacks, pignite often consumes whatever is within reach, regardless of whether or not it is actually edible to most other pokémon. It should go without saying that it is a good idea to keep all hands, limbs, clothing, wallets, and valuable research equipment out of reach of this pokémon at all times.

Emboar
The Mega Fire Pig Pokémon
Type: Fire/Fighting
Official Registration #: 500
Entry: The evolved form of pignite, by battle experience. A master of hand-to-hand combat, emboar possess the power to set their chins ablaze with a full beard of fire. This beard can then be used to set its fists on fire for devastating punches and palm strikes, consume emboar’s body for flaming Rollouts, or any of a number of other incredible physical attacks. Yet the thing emboar is most known for is the fact that it is in the third starting pokémon of the fire and fighting elements to be announced in a region, as when it comes to pokémon research and training, repetitive elemental combinations take precedence over the individual qualities and behaviors of an evolutionary family.
