What it does
Your opponent switches his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon.
This attack does 10 more damage for each Colorless in the Retreat Cost of your Swinub, Piloswine, and Mamoswine.
Because the long hair all over its body obscures its sight, it just keeps charging repeatedly.

Where it came from
Piloswine card 81/162 was released in the XY—BREAKthrough expansion, which debuted in late 2015. This set introduced the BREAK evolution mechanic to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, designed to reflect the elemental shifts seen in the Kalos region. Within the broader context of the series, this uncommon card serves as a mid-tier evolutionary stage, bridging the gap between Swinub and Mamoswine, and is part of the extensive roster of cards designed to balance competitive play with the game's evolving mechanical landscape.
The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator match, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG. Known for a style that emphasizes the rugged, tundra-dwelling nature of Ice and Ground-type Pokémon, the artist depicts Piloswine in a defensive stance, utilizing bold lines and earthy tones to convey the creature's thick fur and intimidating presence. The design was intended to fit the functional requirements of an uncommon rarity card, focusing on readability for players while maintaining the thematic consistency of the BREAKthrough set's aesthetic direction.
