Astignite (Japanese: ファマイン / Famine) is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon, and is one of the original Fakemon created for Pokémon Altair, Sirius and Vega.
It evolves from Infiris at level 32. It is the final form of Peyero.
Astignite is the most defensive out of all three starter Pokémon thanks to having two types with quite a good amount of resistances and great defenses. That said, it's offenses are usable and it isn't that slow either.
However, it has quite apparent flaws; it has a quadruple weakness to Ground, meaning that Earthquakes will hurt a lot and doesn't have that many support moves to learn to reflect its' stone wall stats. But overall, it's a good Pokémon to have.
Astignite's design is likely based on robots and knights, while maintaining the cyclopian theme of its evolutionary line. Its futuristic appearance may draw inspiration from various Robot Masters of the Mega Man franchise.
Name Origin[]
