Piloswine, The Swine Pokémon. Because of the long hair all over it's body, it's sight is obscured. It keeps charging repeatedly to overcome this. When it charges towards a foe, it's hairs on it's back stand up straight. It's sensitive to sound. It's legs are short, but it's feet are rugged hooves that allow it to stop itself from Slipping. It's coat of long hair helps it endure the freezing cold. It uses it's tusks to dig food under the ice

Strategy Using Piloswine
Alot can be said about Piloswine, it has both high attack, high HP and the rest of its stats are alright, with some being below average, but they can easily be upped with stat raising moves.
Amnesia boosts Piloswine's special defense to allow for a wall to be built between most moves that maybe used against it. Leftovers will recover any damage recieved from your opponent.
Being part Ice type, Pilowswine really doesn't allow much to be resisted, and is in fact, weak to grass, water and fire types. Reflect should cut any physical attacks in half.
However, the problem that Reflect might encounter are pokemon with brick break, and since its weak to fighting types, this will do quite a bit of damage.
Earthquake, with STAB and used along with Piloswine's high attack, it will deal quite a bit of damage to its enemies. However, since Earthquake is limited and doesn't effect flying types, another move is needed to cover those. Hence the reason Ancient power is included here. Ancientpower has higher accuracy than rock slide, but not as strong. However, as a plus, AP has a 10% chance of boosting all stats.
With Piloswine holding Leftovers, and with a gradually boost in defenses, it could survive most non super effective hits, but its type allignment really does leave it open for quite a bit of weaknesses.
