Shadow Tepig PvE Analysis

Close

Shadow Tepig is plagued by a low Attack stat that the Shadow bonus barely improves, combined with a subpar Fire-type moveset for PvE.

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Tepig simply lacks the "firepower" to deliver enough damage in raid battles. 😮‍💨

🛡️ Gyms

With its low Defense stat, Shadow Tepig is a terrible choice for defending gyms. 👎

• Little Cup:EmberBody SlamFlame Charge

🧸 Little Cup

Armed with a decent Fast Move (Ember), a shield baiter (Body Slam), and a way to boost its already increased Attack (Flame Charge), Shadow Tepig can dominate a meta full of Pokémon with less than 100 HP. It emerges as a fiery threat in the Little Cup. 🐽🔥

🔵 Great League

Shadow Tepig burns itself out attempting the Great League. 😅
