Pignite

Pignite is a powerful wallbreaker in the NFE metagame, using its powerful Fire- and Fighting-type STAB attacks to break through teams while having exceptional coverage in Knock Off and High Horsepower. Pignite is no slouch defensively either, with great natural bulk that makes it capable of trading blows with powerful foes like Monferno, Raboot, and Fraxure as needed. On top of this, it has access to Bulk Up which can make it even more imposing. While Pignite is a robust option for teams, it isn't without flaws; though it can usually sponge an attack or two from opposing wallbreakers, it can struggle to hit at times because of how slow it is. Monferno is a similar wallbreaker to Pignite that trades a little bit of power for more utility in U-turn, Slack Off, and Stealth Rock, which makes it slightly more favorable for some team compositions. Faster wallbreakers like Frogadier, Gabite, and Wartortle can all give Pignite problems, with the latter two capable of using it as setup fodder. To circumvent this, Pignite can use Sucker Punch to inflict damage before being KOed or even take down an unsuspecting revenge killer like Frogadier or Girafarig.
