Pignite evolves from Tepig and evolves into Emboar at level 36.
Pignite has a catch rate of 45 out of 255, which makes it tricky to catch. In the Tall Grass Club meadow, better balls improve your odds.
In the Tall Grass Club catching game, Pignite is rarely seen in the wild. The best way to get one is to evolve Tepig at level 17. Tepig lives in the Volcano.
Pignite isn't found in the wild in the main games listed in PokeAPI. Most trainers get it by evolving Tepig.
Pignite is weak to Flying, Ground, Water and Psychic moves, so Pokémon of those types are your best bet.
