The goal of this project is to hone your team building skills, and understand how experienced Little Cup players go about building their teams around a particular core. For this project there will also be an emphasis on creativity, to avoid boring standard teams being posted every round, teams can only use two of the following pokemon: Pawniard, Fletchling, Chinchou and Mienfoo. With this condition in place, viable teams can still be made but it makes things a little more fun and prevents the same shit from being used round after round. So in summary the goals around this project are:
- To hone team building skills around a particular core
- Being creative in team building, yet still make viable teams
- Learn from others on how they team build around a particular core
- Discover new and effective cores in the metagame
- Make the post presentable, use XY sprites (or PokeSho if real) and have the team in exportable format so it can be used
- Make sure you have a paragraph describing how your team functions and how it supports the core
- Don't insult users if their teams aren't up to standard, feel free to question why people are running certain things, in fact, I highly encourage discussion but don't be rude about it
- Use hide tags when posting your team
- You can only have two of the following Pokemon on your team: Fletchling, Mienfoo, Pawniard, Chinchou

Okay with that said the first core is....
Croagunk and Vullaby can both be utilized in a variety of different ways, from offensive sweeping sets to defensive utility sets. Croagunk's Ground- and Psychic-type weaknesses are covered by Vullaby and Vullaby's Rock- and Fairy-type weaknesses are covered by Croagunk. Will we see some unique defensive cores involving these Pokemon? Will we see, possibly, a dual-Nasty Plot core?
