Tepig

Tepig is a brutal attacker that utilizes powerful moves with large drawbacks. Due to being weak to Stealth Rock, using Life Orb, relying on recoil-heavy moves, and having lackluster stats, Tepig's impact is limited but intense. However, more powerful attackers such as Darumaka give Tepig competition, as Darumaka hits far harder than Tepig due to Hustle and has U-turn to preserve momentum, with Tepig's saving grace being its reliability and ability to hit Water-types super effectively with Wild Charge. Tepig's better coverage options also let it edge out Ponyta as an all-out attacker despite Tepig being slower and lacking recovery.
