Pignite

() is a /-type Generation V Pokémon which made its debut in Pokémon Black and White.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pignite is a bipedal pig-like Pokémon that appears to be wearing black spandex tights, similar to a wrestler. Its body is chubby and ovular in shape, and mainly a fiery orange hue. It has brown bands encircling its shoulders, sides, belly, hands, and from the back of its head down its snout. It has yellow bands around its wrists and twisted yellow shapes on its chest. It has two large and brown floppy ears extending from its head and a small, twisted black tail. It has two sharp claws on its hands and one sharp claw on each foot. It has a large pig-like red nose and two sharp teeth that protrude from its lower jaw.
=== Behavior ===
Pignite spend much of their time eating; they have internal fires constantly burning in their bellies, so they must eat regularly in order to maintain these flames. Their attacks become stronger as their fires burn hotter. When in danger or upset, Pignite can force their fires to flare up and burn through stored lipids in order to unleash powerful attacks. Their movements also become sharper and more agile as their flames intensify. Pignite are also skilled fighters, particularly when it comes to wrestling. They are close-range brawlers; though capable of shooting flames from a distance, they prefer to attack foes using their limbs or even their whole bodies. When Pignite begin to feel hungry, their internal fires will weaken from lack of fuel. Consequently, they will become sluggish and their attacks will weaken. Letting a Pignite's fire completely die out is extremely dangerous for the Pokémon, possibly even fatal. Because of this, Pignite trainers are advised to always carry around fat-rich snacks in case their Pokémon begin to feel famished.
===Natural abilities===
Pignite has a blazing fire in its stomach, which it fuels with the food it consumes. As the flame inside its belly grows, Pignite becomes faster. When in trouble, Pignite emits smoke. 
==Evolution==
Pignite evolves from Tepig, at level 17. It evolves into Emboar at level 36.

===Origin===
Pignite is based on a pig or wild boar in a wrestling singlet. As the Unova starters are based on historical empires, Pignite is based on the Chinese Empire.
===Etymology===
Pignite comes from pig and ignite.
Its Japanese name, Chaobu, may come from 超 chāo (Chinese for "super") or 炒 chǎo (sauté), and the Japanese 豚 buta (pig), ブー bū (oink).
