CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Tepig makes its nose a source of fire as useful in battle as at mealtime. It can launch balls of flame while dodging, then use this heat to roast Berries. Its enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of it: too impatient, it burns them to a crisp. The same energy that makes it lively requires some restraint when it comes to eating.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
A cold changes Tepig's fire. In Pokémon White, the flames normally blown from its nose are replaced by black smoke when it has a cold. This detail connects its health with a directly visible change in its breath.
