Pryce's Piloswine

Pryce's Piloswine is his main Pokémon.

Biography
When he was young, Pryce was a skilled Trainer, winning many battles and also treated his Piloswine like family. Unfortunately, the two eventually found themselves up against a trainer with a Magmar. Pryce shielded Piloswine from Magmar's Fire Blast but both were badly injured as a result.

Piloswine left the cabin they were staying in to go get some herbs to help cure Pryce's burns. However, it got frozen on the way back and stayed there for several years. Pryce, believing his Piloswine had abandoned him, changed overnight, becoming an angry, bitter man who believed Pokémon and humans did not deserve to be friends.

Several years later, Pryce and Ash found Piloswine frozen in a block of ice. Thanks to Ash's Pikachu and Cyndaquil, Piloswine was freed from its ice prison, and Pryce was overjoyed. His anger and bitterness melted away when he was reunited with his beloved Pokemon.

Piloswine was later used in Ash's Gym Battle where it successfully defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. It nearly defeated Ash's Pikachu before Pryce threw in the towel, forefeiting the match as Piloswine had become tired.

Trivia

 * Whilst battling Cyndaquil, Piloswine used a Blizzard that not only caused damage to Cyndaquil but also hid Piloswine from veiw. This was probably due to the Snow Cloak ability. However it should be noted that special abilities had not been invented at this time. Also, in the games, Snow Cloak is only activated if it is hailing.
