Pig
The Pig is a 
Tier 1 Pet, available in the 
Turtle Pack. When sold it will grant the player extra 
Gold. Levelling up the Pig increases the amount of gold granted upon being sold.
Selling a level 1 pig will reward you with 1 gold for the pet, and 1 extra from the ability, but a level 2 pet will sell for 4 gold because it is level 2, but 2 extra from the ability, and in the same way, selling a level 3 pet will give you 6 gold in total.
Strategy
The Pig is a high-risk, high-reward pet. On one hand, it can take out dangerous 4-health opponents (most commonly being a 
Cockroach in the earlier rounds). On the other hand, it loses badly to 
Mosquito and 
Cricket due to its low health.
Of course, the Pig is not the only such pet, and is mostly outclassed by its peers. The 
Chinchilla sells for the same amount of gold as pig for every level, but the chinchilla can be sold once or twice, making it better for buy/sell triggers. The 
Ant is arguably better, not only increasing trading power but having a better long-term ability. The 
Bluebird's permanent buff can create 4-attack pets without poor HP, and is quite useful in the long term. The 
Beaver is also comparable in that it can take out almost any Tier 1 pet with base stats but won't be countered by Mosquitos or Crickets.
If you are going to buy and not sell a Pig in early rounds, having it positioned at the front of your team is generally the best play because most players have their best (and therefore highest health) pet at the front, allowing the Pig to get the most use out of it's high attack.
Overall, the Pig is usable. Buying a Pig isn't a bad idea if you have nothing else and sets you up for future rounds when you sell it.
