Hey guys. It's 7:30PM Saturday at the time of writing this, and I'm terminally bored at the moment. I figured I would use this time to just post all of my art on here. I've been meaning to make an art thread for the longest time now, as it could give me the motivation to improve and make some...

[OVERVIEW] Amaura is an excellent answer to Flying-types in Little Cup, resisting their STAB attacks and hitting back with powerful Ice-type STAB moves. Amaura's unique ability, Refrigerate, turns all Normal-type moves into Ice-type moves and boosts their power by 30%. This turns Hyper Voice...

I would like to reserve this article for issue 42, as I have a busier month IRL and I'd like the extra time in order to make this as good as possible. For those who don't know, during the cool down period between two CAP projects, a Pre-Evo(es) of the CAP is usually made. This is strictly a...

DRUMMERLANCHE A Little Cup Hyper Offense Gimmick Team Concept courtesy of Rowan Introduction: This is my third RMT on these forums, and it is the most aggressive Hyper Offense team I have ever used in Little Cup by an enormous margin. The trinity of Belly Drummers wear down each other's...

Overview ######## Wingull is capable of reaching the coveted 19 Speed tier, meaning it can outspeed almost all of its unboosted foes and hit them hard with one of its powerful STAB moves. Although Wingull must rely on Hurricane's shaky accuracy in order to beat the Grass-type foes that resist...

Title is a WIP My previous article proposal on covering Dark-types in LC was rejected, as many of the Dark-types in LC had been featured in articles. However, only Pumpkaboo has featured in a recent article. (ORAS LC: What's Changed?) Introduction: Here, I would mention that Grass-types are...

Approved by Rowan OP adapted from boltsandbombers Art by Mambo Good Cores – ORAS Edition A strong core is one of the single most valuable things to form when creating a new team. Cores are typically made up of a group of Pokémon that, when used together, work excellently toward...

Overview ######## At first glance, Munna appears to offer very little compared to other Psychic-types. Although it has decent 76 / 45 / 55 bulk, its weakness to Knock Off generally negates this. Munna's Speed and offenses are not high enough for it to fill an offensive role either, certainly...

Overview ######## Chimchar is one of only two Fire-type Pokemon in Little Cup with access to Stealth Rock. It also has access to many other moves that make it a great lead, such as Fake Out, Taunt, Encore, and U-turn. Unfortunately, its average Speed stat prevents it from utilizing these moves...

Overview ######## Inkay's ability Contrary in tandem with Superpower allows it to be a unique sweeper; rather than lowering Inkay's Attack and Defense stats, Superpower raises them, essentially being a 120 Base Power Bulk Up. Inkay's STAB moves Knock Off and Psycho Cut have perfect coverage...

I told Sashay that I was interested I writing about this, hoping I can. I would be happy to move this to issue 39 if the meta needs to settle I want to write about the new toys that LC's Pokemon have gotten. I'll explain their effectiveness and roles before and after the advent of ORAS Intro...

I would really like to write an article about Trick Room in LC, as it's something I enjoy and have experience with. I laddered a lot with it, and I've made a Trick Room RMT. It's something of an underrated playstyle, and considering how speed oriented the metagame is, it can be a disruptive and...

Overview ######## Piplup is one of only a handful of Pokemon in Little Cup with access to both Stealth Rock and Defog, meaning it can remove your opponent's entry hazards while setting up its own. Piplup's Water typing means it isn't weak to Stealth Rock, so it can switch in more easily than...

Taken from Lord Alphose Overview ######## Horsea is a potent sweeper thanks to its ability Swift Swim, which doubles its Speed in the rain, and its impressive Special Attack stat alongside strong attacks such as STAB Hydro Pump and Ice Beam, the former of which receives a boost in the rain...

Taken from Acestriker Overview ######## Finneon is one of only a handful of Pokemon in LC to have access to the move Defog without being weak to Stealth Rock. With its decent bulk and high Speed, Finneon is able to use the move well. Finneon also has access to U-turn, meaning after it has...

Taken from LC QC Team. Overview ######## Shelmet is very bulky by Little Cup's standards, boasting impressive 50 / 85 / 65 defenses. This, along with its access to Recover, makes Shelmet a fantastic user of Spikes, as they will allow it to reliably set up several layers of the entry hazard...

I'm not sure how I go about this before, I've written for The Smog before, but not made pitch of my own yet. Basically, I just want to go about talking about the prominent Dark-types in Little Cup and talk about their role in the metagame, similar to the other articles that analyse typing in...

Underground - Peaked #2 Hey, everybody. I'm here posting the most successful team I've ever used on Smogon. I've played over 100 games with this team, and my win loss ratio is roughly 6:1. Although teambuilding is likely my biggest set-back, this team has been a lot of fun to use, all...
