Pignite is a chubby pig-like Pokemon that sports orange, black, and yellow coloration. Tiny beginnings of tusks protrude from the lower jaw of its wide mouth, and its black, tapered ears are on the top of its head. The black coloration from there extends down to its nose, which, like its pre-evolution Tepig, is red and pig-like. Black coloration encompasses the shoulders, sides, and underbelly of Pignite, which resembles a Greco-Roman amateur wrestling singlet. Gold-colored, swirling features adorn its chest on the black pattern, and the pattern forms spiky shapes on the lower underbelly. The forelimbs of Pignite have glove-like patterns, with gold bands at the "wrists" and black at the tips of the "hands", which have two claws. Its legs are small with a single nailed toe, and its curled, wiry black tail is tipped with a puffy feature.
