Ghost moves don't affect Oinkologne at all — that's the advantage of Normal typing. Thick Fat halves incoming Fire and Ice damage. Introduced in Gen 9. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.
Raw HP carries Oinkologne's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A moderately hard to find Hog Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Oinkologne Weakness
GoodOinkologne is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. With 110 HP and balanced defenses, Oinkologne can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
Evolved from Lechonk. Oinkologne is the final form in this two-stage line. A massive partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are quick to hatch. HP grew the most through evolution (+56 over Lechonk), and Oinkologne peaks at 489 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Oinkologne to get Lechonk eggs using 195 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Endeavor, Spit Up, Stockpile and 2 more.
For a physical attacker, Oinkologne wants max Attack and Speed EVs and Salacberry. The Jolly nature tilts toward fast physical duty, and Thickfat contributes without taking a move slot.

Egg moves make a real difference. Oinkologne gets Endeavor and Spit Up exclusively through breeding, filling gaps that TMs and level-up can't touch. Coverage across 9 types rounds out the picture alongside Giga Impact and Hyper Beam.

Thick Fat changes the entire equation for Oinkologne. The 489 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker.
Oinkologne's biggest threats include Conkeldurr (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Lechonk evolves into Oinkologne at level 18. Oinkologne is the fully evolved form. At 489 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.
Thick Fat is what you want on Oinkologne. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Lingering Aroma, Gluttony) work on paper but Thick Fat is what makes Oinkologne worth using.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Oinkologne is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
Oinkologne can be found in Scarlet & Violet.
Oinkologne joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 1 generation of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
