I hear pigs are much smarter than people would think from an animal.

Pigs are extremely intelligent. Contrary to popular belief they're also very clean animals.

I should note that mini pigs or teacup pigs DO NOT exist. It is an unethical trend of restricting food to the point of malnutrition and stunting growth. This leads to health and behavioral problems.

The smallest breed of pig is the pot bellied pig and when healthy can grow to 200 pounds. A typical farm pig can reach 1000 pounds, they're basically as big as a horse but with stubby legs.

So some pigs are smaller than humans, but others are almost horse sized. Maybe that's why it seems like people don't have a grasp on the average pig's size.

Maybe that's why the Pokémon Grumpig is a Psychic type Pokémon, because they knew the pigs were super intelligent and wanted a smart pig like that in their setting.
