If we're gonna be buffing starters, let's give a little love to Tepig, alright? Goll, that cute lil face! I could DIE!
Tepig's stats are the very definition of average, its typing is meh, and its abilities are pretty lame. I mean, sure, it's got Thick Fat, but what does that do for a Fire-Type? We'll get to the skinny on the new, the great, the lord Tepig, right after this Theorymon checklist:
- Tepig isn't ranked :O
- Will it break Piggy? Not even close, not even
- Brings a positive defensive or offensive presence cause fighting is all over
- Also every single winner except ninjabug is water, let's heat it up a bit?
- Adds a secondary typing to a single type mon
- THE FLAVOR IS IT'S ADORABLE DANGIT
- Tepig is just a cute little pig, wandering the land. Sounds like a fairy, doesn't it?
- Orange and Pink look super cool as a dual typing
- Tepig is so cute, nobody would possibly be able to deny it access to anything, ever, at all
- Seriously, you'd have to be heartless
- Like, how could you even
- You literally just wanna play with it all day
- Plus a fun little STAB for a fun little pig
- what's better than this? just pigs bein' pigs
With a new Fairy typing, Tepig becomes a fantastic way to stop possibly the tier's best mon: Pawniard. Tepig now resists Pawniard's cute little Knock Off and can retaliate with a pretty strong little Flare Blitz. The only way Pawn could beat Tepig is if it predicts and goes for a neutral Iron Head, and even then it may not win. Also, the new Fairy typing lets Piggy beat Fighting types too, idk maybe we could all just Play Nice with each other?
The other two buffs are offensive buffs to give Tepig a little versatility. With a cool little ability like Infiltrator, Tepig can get around dangerous threats like SubCotton, SubSnivy, or other such things. Giving Tepig Play Rough allows it to use two cool STABs on a coolio Scarf set which can hit 15 speed to tie things like Goth or somethin', i dunno. It'd also then outspeed the whole unboosted metagame and could wreak major havoc with things like Head Smash (which also gives perfect neutral coverage, gg m8s).
TL; DR: Cool pig gets cooler, cute pig gets cuter
