@justpast40 No worries, man. Rovio updated the app to version 2.4.1 this morning on April 18, 2016. After updating and starting to play the version of the App, I manage to finally see that my piggy is there, ready for action! :)
Also, I heard someone saying that he or she had to wait a lot of hours for a Piggy to stop being tired. Well, as I played the new update, I think I have a deduction.
Whenever a Piggy is sent to battle, he grows tired and defense & attack are decreased by 25%. However, once you play enough battles as the Birds, the Piggy regains his strength and his stat won’t have negative effects. I guess you could say that the Piggy being tired is like a “Negative Version” of Angry Mode, as explained in my theory below.
Bird not selected for 6 battles > Angry Mode = Positive Stat Effects
Piggy competes in a battle > Becomes Tired = Negative Stat Effects > Piggy not selected for 6 battles = Negative Stat EFfects are removed.
I still wish Rovio could explain more on how the Playable Piggies work, though. But at least I can finally play as a pig in Fight! :)
Do you wanna know who my pig’s opponent is? Another minion pig, who is tired. And my piggy won that match on his first try, courtesy of yours truly (me)! :D
By the way, by playing as a Pig, Pig Panels actually give the Pig stat boosts, where as it gives the Birds nothing. Also, the Pig I played against doesn’t make the same sounds as the Security Pig or the Minion Pig fought on Tiny Island when his health is at 0.
