Strategy Overview
Tepig comes into Little Cup as little more than a mostly outclassed Fire-type, having only very small differences to set it apart from others. It is the only Fire-type with both Superpower and Wild Charge, as well as the only Pokemon of the type to learn Head Smash. It has a good Attack stat, with passable Speed that can be boosted with Flame Charge. All of this means that Tepig may not be the best choice, but it can work if your team is in need of a physical Fire-type attacker.
