[OVERVIEW]
Tepig may have access to powerful STAB moves, useful coverage, and a decent ability in Thick Fat, but the rest of its movepool, in terms of utility, is shallow, its stats are mediocre, and its single Fire typing isn't really great offensively or defensively. Specifically, some main problems Tepig has include being too slow to be a good offensive Pokemon and running mostly moves that cause recoil damage, which hinders its longevity. These disadvantages leave it heavily outclassed by superior Fire-types such as Ponyta and Magby because of their better offensive stats.

[SET]
name: Life Orb
move 1: Flare Blitz
move 2: Head Smash / Wild Charge
move 3: Sucker Punch
move 4: Superpower / Flame Charge
item: Life Orb
ability: Thick Fat
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 236 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
The best set that Tepig can run is a Life Orb set that allows Tepig to use its moves to deal great STAB damage or hit its checks heavily on the switch with its equally powerful coverage moves. Additionally, Thick Fat allows Tepig to have better resistances rather than an offensive boost it can't use as often. Most of Tepig's moves however, have significant drawbacks such as recoil and lowering stats, and lack of recovery options also further increases the problem. As a offensive Fire-type, Ponyta and Magby stand out much better due to their more threatening stats.

[OVERVIEW]
  • Mention specifically that its speed leaves it too slow to be a good offensive Pokemon
  • Also mention that its moves have recoil, which hurts its longevity
  • You should elaborate on the specific disadvantages that leave it outclassed, instead of just saying its outclassed by pokemon with "much better aspects"
[SET]
This is fine

This is also fine

[OVERVIEW]

Tepig has access to Thick Fat, which while perhaps not the most amazing ability ever is better than Blaze (a 4x resistance to Fire and Ice is more useful than a boost Tepig won't get a chance to use fairly often) and isn't a bad ability. Remove the mention of Tepig's abilities being poor accordingly. I also don't think calling Tepig's movepool shallow is accurate at all, Tepig has a ton of usable moves, so this either needs to be removed or clarified to make it true somehow. Similarly, at the end you shouldn't claim that it's a movepool issue leaving Tepig outclassed by Ponyta and Magby, but just a stats issue.

[SET]

I would strongly recommend replacing Blaze for Thick Fat, although if you really believe that the boost to Fire-type moves when Tepig is at low HP is more useful then you can leave it.

[SET COMMENTS]

Same as overview, last sentence should just be about Ponyta and Magby having better stats allowing them to pressure the opponent more effectively than Tepig can.

Implement this and give yourself 2/2

[OVERVIEW]
Tepig may have access to powerful STAB moves, useful coverage, and a decent ability in Thick Fat, but the rest of its movepool,(AC) in terms of utility,(AC) is shallow, its stats are mediocre, and its single Fire typing isn't really great offensively or defensively. (Commas are surrounding 'in terms of utility' as it's an interrupting clause - you can remove it and the sentence would stay the same in meaning (the movepool is still shallow, even if we don't delve into specifics).) Specifically, some main problems Tepig has includes being too slow to be a good offensive Pokemon and the fact that having most of its moveset also has have recoil damage,(AC) which hinders longevity. (An 'and' statement that connects two clauses together has to have each clause start the same way. Since the first one started with a verb, I reformatted the second one to start with a verb as well. If you feel like the second clause uses 'have' too many times, you can change the second 'have' to something like 'comprising of' or another synonym; I just used 'have' to match the original wording as much as possible.) These disadvantages leaves it heavily outclassed by superior Fire-types,(AC) such as Ponyta and Magby,(AC) because of their better offensive stats.

However, most of Tepig's moves have significant drawbacks,(AC) such as recoil and lowering stats, and lack of recovery options also further increases the problem. (The part after the comma is a complete sentence, so it has to either have a conjunction before it or serve as its own separate sentence with a semicolon or period. One other thing you can do is to move 'However' between 'moves' and 'have' as almost all sentences in this paragraph begin with a subordinate clause; it'd add a nice bit of variety rather than have every sentence read the same way. It's completely up to you though as it's grammatically correct either way.) As a offensive Fire-type, Ponyta and Magby stand out much better due to having more threatening stats.
