Tepig #498

Tepig is the Fire Pig Pokemon, the snout-flaming starter that gave Unova players their reliable early-game fire option. Like most cute basic starters its cards stay affordable, with value driven by promos, McDonald's printings, and a recent modern throwback rather than any vintage chase.

01Top 10 Notable Tepig Cards

Tepig's Top 10 is friendly territory: a 2025 White Flare card leads, two waves of McDonald's promos and the early BW Black Star promos follow, and a stack of Black & White and Boundaries Crossed commons rounds it out. Pure starter-line nostalgia.

Tepig — White Flare #96
Rank 01 · The Holy Grail

Tepig — White Flare #96

Tepig's most valuable card, a 2025 White Flare printing — one of the twin throwback sets that revived Black & White's look and made even basic starters collectible again. At ~$32 it is comfortably the priciest the little fire pig has ever been.
