A short write-up on Tepig, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
It can deftly dodge its foe’s attacks while shooting fireballs from its nose. It roasts berries before it eats them.
It blows fire through its nose. When it catches a cold, the fire becomes pitch-black smoke instead.
It loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp.
Collectors still read Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar fastest left-to-right; matching illustration eras across those stages matters more than cramming every rarity onto one page.
A second dex beat (Alpha Sapphire) frames Tepig as one that loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
