Pressure early with (Q) blind and poison autos to disrupt Pantheon's short burst pattern and avoid letting him snowball.
This is a control vs snowball matchup; Teemo must manage spacing and cooldowns to survive Pantheon's early aggression and leverage mid-game trap setups.
Trading pattern
Trade short poison autos and use (Q) to blind Pantheon before he can stun with (W) or burst with empowered (Q).
Avoid extended trades when (E) damage block is available; punish him when (E) is down.

Be cautious when Pantheon has (E) available to block your retaliatory damage; wait for it to expire before engaging.
After Pantheon uses (W) or (E), look for short trades or wave pressure before he can reset his cooldowns.
Early game
Abuse (Q) blind to negate Pantheon's empowered auto attacks during his early level 2-3 burst window.
Keep the wave positioned to avoid getting stunned by (W) and prevent Pantheon from engaging without risk.
Place traps in brushes and retreat paths early to punish Pantheon's aggressive attempts and limit his roam safety after level 6.
Power spikes
Respect Pantheon's level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) combo; avoid all-ins during this window.
At level 6, trap side lanes and river to punish Pantheon's roam with (R) and protect your wave.
After your first damage item, increase short trades with poison autos and (Q) blind to chip Pantheon and force errors.
Win conditions
Use repeated short poison trades and (Q) blind to deny Pantheon melee autos and prevent his early snowball.
Establish trap networks in brushes and river to control Pantheon's engage and roam paths, punishing his map pressure.
Maintain lane control through poke and trap setup to force Pantheon into risky all-ins or missed opportunities, securing mid-game advantage.
