Favour timeline — the windows in Teemo's game plan

Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TeemoTrundle's Level 1 kit is Chomp, an auto-reset that steals AD on a 3.5s timer. Blind the opener — you cannot blank every bite.
Level 2TeemoQ-blind on his Chomp auto means he steals nothing and your E poison stacks freely; the trade is yours as long as you do not step into his W domain.
Level 3TeemoFull kit online: E poison plus repeat Q blinds wins every short trade against an engage-less melee who cannot dash through your W escape.
Levels 4-5TeemoBlinding Dart is 7s flat at every rank against Chomp's 3.5s, so choose the bite you blank and stack poison on the walk-up you punish.
Level 6Even / skillSubjugate steals your Health, Armour and MR together — avoid extended duels when your W is down; shroom the exit and kite rather than stand and fight.
First itemTeemoLiandry's percent-health burn cuts through Trundle's innate sustain and Subjugate healing, making every mushroom a net damage source he cannot outpace.
Two+ itemsEven / skillTrundle reaches item power too — do not duel without Liandry's completed, and always keep a shroom wall behind you so Pillar of Ice cannot trap you cleanly.

How to beat Trundle as Teemo: the early game

Level 1 you auto-poke once then immediately Q whenever Trundle steps up for CS — Blinding Dart makes his Chomp auto miss, so he steals zero AD and takes your full E poison in return. Chomp is only 3.5s against your flat 7s, so blind the bite that opens a trade rather than expecting to deny them all. He has no dash and his W domain only matters if he is already in melee range, so keep the minion wave just on your side of lane and never let him herd you into the domain with his Pillar of Ice cutting off your escape. King's Tribute also heals him off every minion dying near him, so poke into a thin wave.
