Shadow Tepig in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Fire Attacker:
Ember
Flamethrower
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. 👎
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Little League:
Ember
Body Slam
Flame 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. 😅
🟡 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.
