-Peaked At #14 on the PO Server-
Introduction:
Little Cup is a Unique Metagame as you use the First Evolution of Each Evolution chain and they are set at Level 5! Last generation, it was all Hyper Offensive (*cough*much like the Serebii Team Rates*cough*) and Walls and Stalls were a rare sight. Now in Gen 5 with the Inclusion of the AMAZING thing called the Eviolite Defensive Pokemon now have a chance at a Diverse playstyle in Little Cup.
Team building Process:
I decided I would try and Build a team around these 3 as Porygon is an Epic Late Game Sweeper especially with that Download boost, Ponyta is as Epic as Growlithe except it has an Extra Speed or Attack point iirc making it effectively better and Frillish as it's a Stall, staller and very capable of taking out ghosts that Bother LC a lot.
I added Tentacool Because, It can Spin and setup Toxic Spikes and so it can be a Special Wall and what's wrong with 2 Bulky Waters on the same team?
I added Dwebble as a Suicide Lead, setup Stealth Rocks, Shell Smash and take out as many Pokemon as it could.
I then Added Shelmet for some (psuedo)Phazing and to setup Spikes and be a Pain in the *** with Hydration + Rest. I tried it out in a match or two and realized it's not gonna work, so I scrapped Suicide Dwebble and Shelmet for a Set a friend of mine gave me and Physically Defensive HazardDwebble.
So as Mienfoo as a Lead who works really well with Hazards, I was set and tried it out. Now I realized Dwebble wasn't paying out and I needed more Defense for my Pokemon, so I attached Eviolite to All but 2 Pokemon and replaced Dwebble with Ferroseed.

Mienfoo @
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 156 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SDef / 236 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Hi Jump Kick/Drain Punch
You do not ALWAYS Fake-Out when you switch in Mienfoo, use Knock Off instead as Fake-Out is an easy predict, Knock Off because it's f***ing epic in LC and U-Turn for the Regeneration boost. Now, I can't decide whether to use Drain Punch OR HJK, I could use Drain Punch to help with HP gain or I could use HJK for the Pure offence of it.
Ferroseed (M) @
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 244 HP / 76 Atk / 188 Def
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Gyro Ball
Ferroseed is mostly there to stop potential sweeps and to setup my Hazards, Thunder Wave for the Above, Hazards and Gyro Ball to make sure it isn't Taunt Bait. I made it Defensive because of Tentacool being Specially Defensive.
Tentacool (M) @
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 196 HP / 116 SAtk / 196 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Giga Drain
This is the crux Spinner of LC because it can setup hazards as well and soak up Annoying as heck Toxic Spikes. Scald to possibly burn Physical attackers and Giga Drain to help gain more HP and stuff XD.
Frillish (F) @
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 236 HP / 196 Def / 76 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Recover
- Taunt
- Scald
- Shadow Ball
My SpinBlocker, Staller, Ghost Killer it's my 2nd favourite Pokemon and Favourite 5th gen so don't Judge me, because the Male Jellicent makes me feel sad >.>... Anyway, Recover for Recovering the HP and help stall, Taunt is to stop the stallers who try and stall, Scald to burn Physical Attackers and Shadow ball is to kill other Ghosts and another STAB move to use when I can't use Scald.
Ponyta (M) @
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 40 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Morning Sun
- Flame Charge
- Wild Charge
- Low Kick
Have I told you about the MAGIC 19? 19 is the Best HP for Life Orb use, Speed and Attack, if you reach 19 your all good to go. Wild Charge is for the Bulky Waters who think they can withstand Ponyta, Low Kick is for Lickitung and Munchlax and Flame Charge is to increase speed. I'm thinking of Changing Flame Charge to Flare Blitz so that he could have more power, but I do Like the Speed bonus.
Porygon @
Trait: Download
EVs: 76 Def / 236 SAtk / 196 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Agility
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Tri Attack
YAY my End Game Sweeper! with a +1 to Special Attack it reaches a nice 28 and after and Agility it will outspeed EVERYTHING! Thunderbolt is for Bulky Waters, HP Fighting for Munchlax or Lickitung who should have a little HP anyway and Tri Attack for a Nice Status inducing STAB.
