Tepig in Pokemon Survivor

Tepig at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Tepig has 99 HP, 97 speed and a 1.05x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is about average, its speed is below average and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 36.3, which puts it at rank 706 overall, rank 108 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 63 of 76 Fire-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Tepig sits next to Gible one place above it and Sandshrew one place below it.

Tepig moves

Tepig is one of the 29 starters, so its first move is the one the starter list gives it: Ember, a fireball at the nearest enemy.

The level-up cards can then offer 14 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 6 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Fire moves: Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Flame Wheel

Weaknesses and resistances

Tepig takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), and Rock (1.6x). It resists Fire (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), Steel (0.6x), and Fairy (0.6x). The remaining 9 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Tepig are the ones whose first type is Water, Ground, or Rock. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Fire moves do not hit harder just because Tepig shares the type.

How to get Tepig

Tepig is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 36 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Tepig a 1.25% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 80 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Tepig is also one of the 29 starters. The personality test at the start only recommends one, and the "Choose another" button opens the full list, so you can pick Tepig straight away. The starters guide lists all 29 with their first moves.

A rarity-1 Pokemon like Tepig can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Tepig exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Tepig as an enemy

Tepig can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1 and 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
