* [=BW077=] has Tepig becoming depressed because he feels useless and hated by his old trainer, whom he still likes despite being abandoned. Cue [[SugarAndIcePersonality Snivy]], of all Mons, coming forward and Vine Whipping him in the cheek to remind him that he is better than he thinks he is, and that he shouldn't be moping about like that. She even goes on to join him in a tag battle that she has an obvious type disadvantage in (Fire and Fire). Though she ends up fainting after [[MadeOfIron defending him from a combined Flare Blitz/Flamethrower attack]], it's pretty obvious she was fighting hard to cheer him up and bring him out from his slump. Considering Snivy's regular personality towards her teammates, this is really, really touching coming from her. 
** She even requests not to go back into her ball so she can watch the end of the match, and when Pignite wins, she happily hugs him along with Ash.
** It's not so surprising that Snivy was the one who tried so hard to reassure her friend, here. Besides being the Unova team's CoolBigSis, she knows what being abandoned by your trainer feels like (albeit her trainer did so because they couldn't raise her), and she was ''not'' going to let Tepig's sense of self-worth suffer because of a {{Jerkass}} who tied the poor little guy to a pole (with his snout tied shut by the rope). This episode reminds people why Snivy is considered an EnsembleDarkhorse despite not always doing as much as some other Mons.
