Tristan's Tepig

Tristan's Tepig(JP:Kento's Pokabu) is the third Pokemon caught by Tristan.

History
Tepig appeared in Blitzle and the Fire Pig where he was abandoned by his trainer who was swayed to release him which caused him to be timid and act in a brash way. That changed when he met Tristan who comforted him after he fell to Zack's Blitzle due to his weak Fire-type moves. With training from Tristan, he managed to overcome his fears of Blitzle and mastered Flame Charge, enabling him to win. He was then offered by Tristan to join them and he accepted.

He was revealed to be male in Drillin' Time when he battled a wild Excadrill in Accumula Town. Even though he had the advantage, he fell to Excadrill's Drill Run due to the ability Sand Rush.

In BWA11, he was used to battle against Bianca's Herdier. He used his defense to stop Thunder Fang's damage, but fell simultaneously when his Flame Charge and Herdier's Take Down colided.

In BWA14, he battled Lenora's Watchog, which injured him with Hyper Fang,Hypnosis, and Crunch. He was able to burn the Lookout Pokemon with Flame Charge. He was able to use his Ember quickly to overcome Watchog's Hypnosis and won the battle due to using his quick speed and enhanced strength and finishing off with a powerful Flame Charge attack.

In BWA15, he battled against Crispin's Palpitoad after Tranquill fainted. During the battle, Tepig tried to use his defense against Palpitoad's Muddy Water, but almost fell backwards. Crispin reveals that tepig might be trying to use its defense over offense and thinsk Tristan should train it hard. They continued the battle where Tepig was knocked out by Bulldoze. Following Crispin's advice, in BWA16 he was trained to use its offense and defense and combines them together after protecting itself from a Blizzard by Vanillite due to his ability Thick Fat and finally used his full strength and mastering defense.
