      Recommended moves

      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. 👎

      Recommended moves

      🧸 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. 😅

      🟡 Ultra League

      Don’t even try it in the Ultra League—it’s not fun! 😣

      🟣 Master League

      Using Shadow Tepig in the Master League is an impossible endeavor.
