 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 he would be happy to see him. However, when Shamus threw Tepig at Ash and called him a useless Pokémon, he was left 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 tough 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 by encouraging him further, Tepig finally hit both of his opponents with a powerful Flame Charge. However, he made no attempt to dodge the next attack, and Snivy sacrificed herself to protect him. Motivated by the lenghts his current friends would go through for him, as he [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Pignite}}. Pignite learned Fire Pledge with his new power and won with a final Flame Charge attack. Shamus talked to Pignite after the battle, saying he was impressed with his new power, and asked him to rejoin the team. Pignite refused, scorching his previous Trainer's face with a Flamethrower and sending him angrily running away.

-In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Pignite battled [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Cryogonal}}. The match started with Pignite's Flame Charge being blocked by {{m|Reflect}} and his Flamethrower being deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}} dealing damage to Pignite as well, making Pignite unable to hit the speedy Cryogonal. After enduring Cryogonal's {{m|Frost Breath}}, Pignite was able to land a direct hit with Fire Pledge, hitting Cryogonal's Rapid Spin in the center and knocking it out. Pignite next went up against Brycen's {{p|Beartic}} where his Flame Charge was stopped by Beartic's {{m|Brine}} attack, which was super effective. Pignite then took out a powerful {{m|Icicle Crash}} attack and then an unavoidable Aerial Ace attack, the latter of which was also super effective.

 In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash sent out his Pignite as his fourth Pokémon during his Gym battle with [[Roxie]], facing her {{p|Scolipede}}. Despite her part {{type|Bug}} Pokémon being at a type disadvantage against Fire types, Roxie stood calm. Pignite started by trying a Flame Charge, which was blocked by Scolipede's {{m|Screech}}. The Megapede Pokémon next attacked with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which was also blocked by Pignite's Flamethrower, causing a big explosion and a cloud of smoke. Using the smoke to his advantage, Ash had Pignite use another Flame Charge, hitting Scolipede and dealing a lot of damage. As Pignite tried to finish the match with another Flamethrower, Scolipede dodged and used {{m|Toxic}} on Pignite, {{status|poison|badly poisoning}} him. However, Pignite was able to go on and unleash a Fire Pledge on Scolipede, defeating it. Roxie then gave Pignite a [[Pecha Berry]], curing him of the poison before sending out her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. The Trash Heap Pokémon was able to use its extendable arms to dodge Pignite's Flame Charge before hitting the Fire Pig Pokémon with {{m|Double Slap}} and doing the same again to dodge a Flamethrower. Pignite then used Tackle on Garbodor's arm, causing it to fall over. Pignite was about to use Fire Pledge, but Garbodor extended its arm under his hand, preventing him from using the move, grabbing him, and tossing him to the floor. After getting hit by a few Double Slaps, Pignite was finally able to unleash his Fire Pledge attack, but Garbodor countered with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which went right through Fire Pledge and hit Pignite, knocking him out.
