In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}. Like {{AP|Oshawott}} before him, he was defeated by two consecutive {{m|Aerial Ace}}s due to Tranquill's {{a|Super Luck}} Ability, which increased Tranquill's chance of inflicting critical hits. | In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', he battled [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Lillipup}}, which promptly used {{m|Roar}} to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball. After Lenora's {{p|Watchog}} defeated Oshawott, he fought Lillipup again and was defeated. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', he trained alongside Ash at Don George's Battle Club. He ran on a treadmill and dodged black balls that symbolized {{m|Shadow Ball}} attacks. By training, Tepig became faster and stronger, and learned Flame Charge.

After Watchog and Oshawott knocked each other out, Tepig battled Herdier again and won because of his faster, stronger attacks and his newly learned Flame Charge move. | ||
Tepig was Ash's first Pokémon for his [[Castelia Gym]] battle in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. He was sent out to battle [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Dwebble}}. First, he tried using Tackle on Dwebble, which was dodged easily and then a second Tackle was dodged by Dig, which hit Tepig. Dwebble then used {{m|X-Scissor}} which was very agile and hit Tepig. Burgh then explained that the rock Dwebble had on its back was lighter than normal, making it faster and more agile than normal Dewbble. Tepig used Ember, which was blocked by {{m|Protect}}. Afterwards he was hit by X-Scissor again. Tepig was able to hit Dwebble with Tackle and then went for a Flame Charge which was blocked by Protect. This lured Tepig up close and he was then knocked out by a super-effective close range {{m|Rock Wrecker}}. | Tepig was Ash's first Pokémon for his [[Castelia Gym]] battle in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', while eating with the other Pokémon in the Battle Club, Tepig recognized his previous Trainer, Shamus. Upon seeing him, Tepig happily ran over to Shamus, believing that he would be happy to see him. However, when Shamus threw Tepig at Ash and called him a useless Pokémon, he was very disheartened. Being angered by Shamus's actions, Ash accepted Shamus's challenge of a [[Double Battle]], pitting Tepig against his former Trainer's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night Tepig sat alone outside the Battle Club and got very upset while recounting his abandonment. Snivy slapped him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and talked sense into him, as they were preparing for the battle in the morning. Despite Snivy's encouragement, when faced with battling his estranged Trainer, he froze up and was unable to launch any attacks. Though Tepig had thought that abandoning him was a very hard thing for Shamus to do, he was crushed when Shamus revealed he was relieved to get rid of him. However, after watching his friend Snivy take two powerful hits when she was distracted with encouraging him further, Tepig finally hit both of his opponents with a powerful Flame Charge. However, Emboar and Heatmor were able to take the attack and on Shamus's command launched a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination move. Making no attempt to dodge, Tepig was pushed out of the way of the attack by his partner Snivy, who took major damage and was knocked out. Tepig became as motivated as his Trainer and Snivy continued to show faith in him, as he [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Pignite}}. With his new power, Pignite used Fire Pledge, impressing both his former and current Trainer and dealing major damage to Emboar and Heatmor. With a final Flame Charge attack, Pignite was able to knock out both of his opponents. After the battle, Shamus talked to Pignite, saying he was impressed with his new power, and asked him to rejoin the team, but Pignite refused, scorching his previous Trainer's face with a Flamethrower and sending him running away in anger. | In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', while eating with the other Pokémon in the Battle Club, Tepig recognized his previous Trainer, Shamus.

Ash sent out his Tepig against [[Leeku]]'s {{p|Samurott}} in ''{{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}}''. Tepig was having trouble handling Samurott as Samurott had both the advantage in being fully evolved and type. However, with {{mov|Victini|Victini|14}} powering him up, Tepig defeated Samurott. As Tepig evolved into Pignite in the main series anime, he reappeared as Pignite in ''{{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice}}''.
