-Pignite, as a Tepig, has been shown to not take losing very well, often getting sad when he loses, such as in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where he fought and lost to [[Trip]]'s Tranquill. This was shown again during {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Lenora]], the Gym Leader of the [[Nacrene Gym]]. He fought against her {{p|Lillipup}} and lost; he got depressed again, and did not even cheer up when Ash told him he did a good job. He also felt upset when he drew to Trip's {{p|Vanillite}} in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', reacting the same way he does when he loses. However, in some cases, Tepig is happy to lose, but only in unofficial training battles, as seen in ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]''. Otherwise, Tepig is a rather sweet Pokémon, always looking to please Ash in battle. The reason for Tepig becoming sad whenever he lost in battle was most likely he thought Ash would see him as weak and abandon him like Shamus did.
+Prior to its evolution, Pignite showcased signs of low self-esteem, steeming from its countless losses under [[Shamus]]'s command, and due to Shamus's comments about his weakness. His low self-esteem passed through {{Ash}}'s ownership, with Pignite often becoming rapidly depressed whenever it lost a battle, although he was quickly cheered by Ash, although on some occasions Ash's reassurances weren't enough, and Pignite's depression worsened with high-profile losses.
-Tepig has shown multiple times that he is always trying to please Ash. Lenora confirms this in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', where she says that Tepig is trying very hard for Ash. This could be because Tepig's [[Shamus|former Trainer]] abandoned him and out of fear that Ash will do the same, tries his best to prove he is worthy. Even though abandoned by his former Trainer, he was still happy to see him again in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'' and also didn't feel right battling against him. After his [[evolution]], he lost all respect for Shamus as shown when Pignite used Flamethrower on his former Trainer and stayed loyal to Ash.
+[[Lenora]] remarked that Pignite would constantly push himself past his own limits to please Ash, wanting to prove its worth to his new Trainer at all costs, often exhausting himself in the process. This come from Pignite's fear that Ash would abandon him if he couldn't live up to his expectations, but Pignite was eventually assured that he wouldn't abandon him in any case, and Pignite's fears were finally extinguished.
-Pignite has a rivalry with Oshawott because the latter has a tendency to steal his food.
+After evolving and confronting his former Trainer, Pignite was finally capable of overcoming his past and changed his attitude significantly; Pignite became far more relaxed and easy-going, and even after suffering losses, Pignite no longer became depressed and took his losses in stride. Pignite also became quite proud of its own power, and became annoyed whenever its power was either doubted or insulted.
