Strategy Overview
Tepig may have access to powerful STAB moves, useful coverage, and a decent ability in Thick Fat, but the rest of its movepool, in terms of utility, is shallow, its stats are mediocre, and its single Fire typing isn't really great offensively or defensively. Specifically, some main problems Tepig has include being too slow to be a good offensive Pokemon and running mostly moves that cause recoil damage, which hinders its longevity. These disadvantages leave it heavily outclassed by superior Fire-types such as Ponyta and Magby because of their better offensive stats.
