What it does
During your opponent's turn, if Light Piloswine is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by your opponent's attack (even if it's Knocked Out), flip a coin. If heads, the attacking Pokémon is now Asleep. This power stops working if Light Piloswine is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed when your opponent attacks.
If there is a Stadium card in play, you may discard it.
Its legs are short, but its hooves are wide and flat, allowing it to easily walk over snow.

Where it came from
Light Piloswine was released as part of the Neo Destiny expansion in 2002, representing the fourth set in the Neo Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set introduced the Light Pokémon mechanic, which reflected a shift in the game's narrative toward Pokémon that evolved through kindness rather than traditional strength. Piloswine, originally introduced in the Neo Genesis set, was reimagined here with a gentler aesthetic and unique game mechanics that emphasized defensive utility.
The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for a soft, painterly style that suits the 'Light' theme perfectly. Kimura’s depiction of Piloswine emphasizes a peaceful, rounded posture, moving away from the more aggressive, combat-oriented art common in the earlier Base Set era. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who appreciated the thematic depth of the Neo Destiny set, which remains one of the most sought-after expansions from the Wizards of the Coast era due to its distinctive creative direction.
