at glance i can see that this team needs help, and it probably not that your bad, but your bringing a lot of aspects from standard into little cup which is a much more fast paced, and offinsive metagame.

shroomish isn't really good for little cup, his poor attack and speed make him shame to his older brother. on the second turn, assuming you protect first turn, you will be KO'd before you get chance to use spore. if you want a lead that can get off status you should use either meowth or gastly who both max out at 19 speed and can get off a quick hypnosis. i would opt for meowth because a StAB technician fake out will stop any focus sashers dead and then nother technician boosted attack will deliver the KO. if your worried about not having a status absorber you really shouldn't be. aside from sleep, status is very scarce. since sleep is the only one you should be worrying about, instead of having a status absorber, you could just have a pokemon that know insomniac.

unless your in a hail team, there are much better CBers to use than swinub. this would be a great place to put an insomniac pokemon, namely murkrow. murkrow can come in on hypnosis and then inflict massive damage with a STAB sucker punch.

bidoof will not work at all. his base stats are just too horrible. this would be a good time to bring in a wall. bronzor would be a good choice since your just starting LC. unfortunately hypnosis is illegal on bronzor and it means we'll have to be a little more creative with his moveset. gyro ball and stealth rock are pretty much staples on this team. for the third move we have a choice between light screen and earth quake. if you feel the team need the extra offensive coverage that earthquake provides then pick that, but with the fourth move being reflect, the combination of it and light screen could make switching a lot easier.

while chinchou has good enough coverage to be a sweeper, he can function far greater as a sp. wall. keep the move set but change the item to oran berry, change the nature to calm, and make the EV spread 236 hp and 228 sp. def

although houndour is strong eough to be one, he isn't really fast enough to be a revenge killer. i'd say put elekid in place of him. with choice scarf on elekid you can out speed most pokemon and deal super effective hits on 12 different types.

while anorith is viable in LC, rapid spin will only set you back. pretty much the only entry hazzard that is seen in little cup is stealth rock, which only tkes on turn to set up. if you end up wasting too many turns rapid spinning then your opponent will just set up on you and sweep. you could try a different set with him though:

name: Stat-Boost Sweeper
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: X-Scissor
move 3: Rock Slide
move 4: Brick Break
item: Oran Berry
ability: Battle Armor
nature:Jolly
evs: 236 Atk/ 28 Def / 236 Spd

after you weaken your opponent a little bit switch anorith into something that can't hurt him, swords dance, and sweep.


if you have any questions about what movesets to use, why i pick the ones i did, or why i picked certain items/natures/Ev's or whatever, then please ask and I'll be happy to explain, or if you don't want to wait for me to reply then there is a bunch of information in the analysis section.

have fun with your battles!

I appreciate the suggestions. The only thing I disagree with is Bronzang merely based on the premise that I don't like that guy. Instead I saw an interesting moveset for Treecko and Im going to give that a try.

k, little cup is all about what you like to use, seeing as there are so many different ways to get the job done.
