[SET COMMENTS]
Smoochum, is a very defensively frail Pokemon so this set tries to remedy that. Simply by using Sing to force your opponent to sleep, and then using Calm Mind to boost your Special defense and Special Attack to obscene levels. Ice Beam will be your main weapon of choice as it can hit most major threats in LC. If used in a Hail Team, Blizzard will be the best choice. Substitute and Psychic are both potent choices, as Psychic gives you a second STAB attack that is capable of killing what Ice Beam can not. However, Substitute will block any and all status coming towards you. As an added bonus, with enough Calm Minds your opponent will have a tough time breaking your Substitute.

Choosing between Leftovers and Oran Berry depends on what your last attack is. Since Oran Berry won't activate if it is Substitute that lowers your HP down, Leftovers is the preferred option when using Substitute. However when using Psychic, Oran Berry becomes the best choice.

[SET]
Name: Snow Specs
Move 1: Ice Beam
Move 2: Hidden Power Fighting / Psychic
Move 3: Shadow Ball
Move 4: Grass Knot / Hidden Power Grass
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Forewarn
Nature: Timid
EVs: 36 HP / 236 SpA / 236 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
This set uses Smoochums many Special Attacking options to her advantage. Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, and Grass Knot will hit almost every major Pokemon in Little Cup Super Effective, making it a great choice of moves to use. The last slot goes to Psychic or Hidden Power Fighting. Either one will work well, although many prefer Psychic because of its STAB power, as well was being able to hit Fighting type and Poison type Pokemon super effective. Hidden Power Grass can be used in Place of Grass Knot, as Grass Knot will only hit Onix and Rhyhorn hard. However Hidden Power Grass can not be used if you opt for Hidden Power Fighting.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
One may forgo Choice Specs and use Choice Scarf. The extra speed will allow Smoochum to outpace many Pokemon that it normally wouldn't. Wide Lens can be used on the first set for Sing's accuracy although that is entirely up to the user. Wish can be used, however with Smoochums frail defensive stats she will have a tough time being able to use it effectively.

[EVS]
Smoochum is so weak that there is no need to worry about HP and Defense. Instead make sure to max out Special Attack and Speed, this takes 236 Evs each so there is enough spare for a point in HP which requires 36 Evs.

[OPINION]
Smoochum may be one of the best Ice types one will find in Little Cup. However with a bad typing and terrible defensive stats, one should only try to play offensively with her. However if you are able to get in 2-3 Calm Minds, Smoochum becomes a much greater threat.

[CCOUNTERS]
Bronzor is Smoochums best counter as it will resist every attack Smoochum has, barring Shadow Ball. Bronzor's Gyro Ball will also easily kill Smoochum making it a perfect counter. Murkrow will take no damage from Psychic and barely any from Grass Knot or Shadow Ball. Thanks to Insomnia, Murkrow also can switch in on Sing and can Taunt Smoochum from using Calm Mind. With a faster Speed count then Smoochum, Murkrow can easily use Pusuit to OHKO. However if Smoochum is of the Scarf variety, Sucker Punch will allow you to still hit first as well as OHKOing. However be careful; Ice Beam will OHKO Murkrow easily.

Add Blizzard as an option with Snover support. Grass Knot hits pitifully on everything on LC barring Onix and Rhyhorn, so maybe put in HP Grass instead.

Is it just me, or is Smoochum entirely locked out of its Level Up moves because it's Female Only?

Checked, and it is. Of course, the only move this affects is Sing, but it still completely invalidates that set.

No, if a male Pokemon in any of its (or its evo's) egg groups gets the Lv. up move it is legal.

Then she's doubly screwed, because no other Humanshapes learn Sing.

Back. Will see in the next week or so how much I can contribute.

Sing is illegal at lvl 5, Grass Knot is pretty redundant on the specs set because most things in LC are light.

Taunt, reflect, light screen and fake out perhaps deserve mentions in other options.
