[OVERVIEW] * Xurkitree is extremely powerful, especially with Electrium Z or under Electric Terrain. * Beast Boost increases Xurkitree's Special Attack, making it even stronger when it gets KOs. * Middling Speed and frailty make it easy to KO. * It doesn't have a great movepool, consisting...

The Little Cup ladder, to put it bluntly, kinda sucks. The crappiness of the ladder leads to less incentive to reach the top since it's not as hard as other tiers, which then makes the ladder worse, which starts a vicious cycle. So, we're taking an idea from the OU tier and creating our own...

Overview ######## Timburr is one of the biggest threats in the Little Cup metagame, both before and after setting up Bulk Up. Using its fantastic bulk and high Attack stat, Timburr can survive plenty of hits and then heal off all the damage it has taken with Drain Punch. Timburr's main goal is...

Approved by prem Little Cup Speed Tiers Orginally made by Ray Jay and Ssin, updated by Hawkstar Introduction As Pokemon in Little Cup are at level 5, there is a narrower range of Speed stats that are present than in Smogon’s other metagames, and this often makes the decision of whether or not...

Overview ######## - Looking at Anorith, that huge Attack stat is what jumps out at you - It also has the distinction of being one of two Pokemon that can both set and spin away hazards - Anorith's Speed is is the key to its success; many do not expect it to be so fast - Has Swords Dance to make...

Overview ######## - The Knock Off buff was huge for Pawniard, giving it a drawback-free 97.5 BP move if the foe has an item - Pawniard is now pretty much impossible to switch into because of its damage and the threat of losing a valuable item - Furthermore, the proliferation of Berry Juice means...

All sprites courtesy of the XY Spriting Thread in Smeargle's Studio Pokemon of the Week is back this gen for a special edition! For until I run out of Pokemon, I will be updating this thread every so often with a new Pokemon of the Week. Unlike last gen, however, I will be examining the new XY...

As of BW2 LC, Berry Juice is the only held item to ever be banned from Little Cup. Not even the ubiquitous Eviolite has been good enough to get the banhammer! Berry Juice restores 20 HP whenever the Pokemon holding it drops below 50% health. At first glance, you might wonder how a 20 HP boost...

Abra [Overview] Abra hit the Dream World jackpot, getting Magic Guard This ability allows Abra to revenge kill almost anything with a Focus Sash set, especially all the Fighting-types running around the tier It also takes away Life Orb recoil, giving Abra's massive Special Attack stat a nice...

Recently, a lot of debate has been occurring in #littlecup over the tiering placement of Yanma and Carvanha. There is no question that we believe that they were broken (otherwise they'd still be around). However, myself and others have begun to question whether it should be Speed Boost that...

Format stolen shamelessly from the other Dark Horses Beautiful lovely picture by ToxicPhox. Intro: If you asked around about the common complaints of the LC tier, you'd soon find that "It's all the same few Pokemon" is a common one. In high-level play, most teams are strikingly similar, and...

blarapproved Cottonee! [Overview] <p>If there's any Pokemon in Little Cup that can make you want to tear your hair out, it's Cottonee. With Prankster and a massive support movepool, Cottonee has everything it needs to annoy its opponents the entire match. It has enough usable moves to...

I have always wanted to try Snover, and what better time to do that then now when everyone and their mother has been running sand teams? However, I was unsure what to build with it. It's not exactly a team player with it constantly sapping the health of my teammates, so I wanted to be able to...

Approved by Aerrow. Props to blarajan for helping me out with some ideas this week! Hi folks! I am Hawkstar, and I shall be running Pokemon of the Week in LC. You've seen this in other tiers, and it works in the same exact way. Each week, I'll feature a Pokemon that is good in the metagame...

I'm coolguy789 btw Not a week after posting my only good Ubers team, I catch wind of the TUberline Bridge challenge. Five of the best battlers would assemble and take challenges, and the one who would beat them all would get the coveted rainbow tuber. However, I couldn't do that without any...

[SET] name: Double Status move 1: Dark Void move 2: Thunder Wave move 3: Dark Pulse move 4: Focus Blast / Nasty Plot item: Focus Sash / Life Orb / Leftovers nature: Timid evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS] <p>This set draws its inspiration from, of all Pokemon, Butterfree and its...

Ubers is a tier I know well from BW1, where I tried to build the ultimate offensive team. That did well enough, but Ubers became stale to me because unlike all the other metagames, it never changes. Sure, new sets and teams are built that shift the metagame slightly, but that's nothing like UU...

Pawniard [Overview] <p>Pawniard sits at a middle ground in the Little Cup metagame. It has a lot going for it, starting with its high Attack stat. This, combined with Swords Dance and Sucker Punch, makes Pawniard a fearsome sweeper that can floor most Pokemon before they have a chance to...

What's the mystery you ask? If I knew, then it wouldn't be a mystery! Ever since I first played LC in the HGSS era, LC has been one of my favorite tiers. I have switched back and forth between it and Ubers, OU, DW, and whatever other tier happens to be the flavor of the month for me. I like...
