does this ability make me look fat

[OVERVIEW]

  • 14 Speed without a boosting nature is perfect for a Scarf
  • Really reeeeeally powerful coverage options
  • Really wishes it had Reckless
  • Suffers from huge recoil on its attacking options

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

  • Flare Blitz is best STAB Attack on a physical Fire-type set
  • Head Smash is incredibly powerful coverage that notably hits Fire-types super effectively and granting near-perfect neutral coverage
  • Wild Charge provides super effective coverage against Water-types
  • Superpower allows Tepig to hit Rock-types super effectively, specifically netting coverage on dual Rock / Ground type Pokemon.

Set Details
========

  • Choice Scarf boosts Speed, is the best item in the meta, yadda yadda
  • Max Attack / Max Speed for good Scarfing
  • Blaze over Thick Fat for the potential Attack boost
  • Adamant for great rolls and cause it already gets 14 Speed

Usage Tips
========

  • A great revenge killer, pretty frail so don't be switching it in on anything too tough
  • Tepig will kill itself pretty fast via recoil, and hazards aggravate this, so remove them
  • Chinchou is tough for this little nerd, especially ScarfChou
  • Tepig's Choice Scarf could surprise fast, frail mons like Diglett and remove then when your opponent expects the opposite

Team Options
========

  • Entry hazard removal is essential to Tepig's success. A hazard remover with good type synergy, such as Staryu, would make a great partner

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to either being not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Insert Threat Here**: Describe why the Pokemon is a threat.
