Listen "Beyond the Ball 153 - Pignite"
Episode Synopsis
Pignite has arrived and is ready to rumble! Maybe! Join us as we explore the fire in this Pokemon's belly! Before we get to entries though, Braden takes us on an extended journey through the Anime Corner this week to reveal perhaps the most foul villain of the Pokemon franchise! If you want to check out the episodes mentioned, they are The Battle Club & Tepig's Choice! and Evolution by Fire! Follow along with the Pokedex entries below:
Black: When its internal fire flares up, its movements grow sharper and faster. When in trouble, it emits smoke.
White: Whatever it eats becomes fuel for the flame in its stomach. When it is angered, the intensity of the flame increases.
Black & White 2: The more it eats, the more fuel it has to make the fire in its stomach stronger. This fills it with even more power.
Ash's Pokédex: Pignite, the Fire Pig Pokémon and the evolved form of Tepig. Pignite's food converts into fuel for the flame that burns in its stomach, and when fuel burns in its stomach, its speed increases.
Ash's Pokédex: Pignite, the Fire Pig Pokémon. Pignite moves faster when its internal flame becomes more intense. This also occurs when it gets angry.
BTB: Pignite's gotta eat to feed the fire. You wouldn't like to race it when it's angry. We like it.
