LC Litwick

[Sqookblooks]

[OVERVIEW]
Despite a good offensive typing, Litwick's niche comes in the form of being a defensive Trick Room setter. Thanks to Flame Body and Will-O-Wisp, it can spread burns to cripple important threats while also facilitating Trick Room sweeps with Memento. However, full Trick Room teams are not very viable in Little Cup, and Litwick faces competition in its slot with Pumpkaboo-XL

[SET COMMENTS]
Trick Room and Memento allow Litwick to give a teammate important support in breaking the opposing team, while Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split can cripple opposing Pokemon and heal Litwick. However, Trick Room teams are constrained for team slots as is, and Litwick's utility is compromised by its weakness to Stealth Rock and Knock Off. Also, Pokemon that fill similar roles such as Pumpkaboo-XL can fit more easily onto Trick Room due to stronger bulk and better defensive typing.

This set aims to set up Trick Room on Grass types that Litwick can force out, attempt to break and use Memento to give another Pokemon the ability to set-up. However, Litwick struggles to set up Trick Room, though often can against Spritzee or other weak attackers, as it is prone to Knock Off and is very vulnerable after taking Stealth Rock damage. making it easy to dispatch by the majority of Pokemon in the tier. Because of this, other Trick Room setters and abusers such as Spritzee, Solosis and Pumpkaboo-Super are much more useful for Trick Room teams as they have better bulk and defensive typings to set-up Trick Room, and have better support moves to help out the team.
I removed the specifics of grass mons since you can't switch into Snivy really, Foongus has Spore and Ferro does have Knock Off. Litwick is just so slow it doesn't necessarily force them out and can't really switch in.

you have 1 too many slots for qc and gp in the credits.

QC 1/2

don't 2/2 this, I have actually used this mon but I can't check it all rn

 

[Coconut]

After much deliberation and stalling from my part this is the set we decided on. Please reformat the analysis on this set. It's best used as a defensive option with the ability to spread burns, set trick room and get something in for a potential sweep.

[Merritt]

This isn't a QC check since coco's the one for that, but please fix your credits. No <> in there, you want [[sqookblooks, 461079]] for example, not [[<sqookblooks>, <461079>]]

Trick Room and Memento allows allow Litwick to give a teammate an important boost support (meh still awkward) in breaking the opponent opposing team, while Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split can cripple opponents opposing Pokemon and heal Litwick. However, Trick Room teams are constrained for team slots as is, (AC) and Litwick's utility can be counteracted is compromised by its weakness to Stealth Rock and Knock Off. Also, Pokemon who that fill similar roles such as Pumpkaboo-XL can fit more easily onto Trick Room due to stronger bulk and better defensive typing.
