Team pitfalls when building around Pignite

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to water, ground, and flying.
  • Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
  • Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
