Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Pignite is: Steel, Rock, Electric, Flying, Dark, Water, Dragon or Grass
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Fire or Fighting ) could also prove useful.

Physical Sweeper Pignite (Thick Fat)
Pignite is a fabulous Physical Sweeper for single battles. This moveset attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The Shell Bell item option is to help Pignite recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge and Flare Blitz. With Thick Fat, fire-/ice-type moves against Pignite deal damage with a halved offensive stat. Knock Off was added to provide additional threat coverage. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Pignite's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
