Hello! Me and Corporal Levi would like to write an article on the offensiveness of flying types in the current Little Cup metagame.
The article will go over some of LC's premier flying type pokemon, Fletchling, Archen, Doduo, Wingull, and Taillow. That is just a tentative list so more may be added as time progresses. Both of us are veteran LC players and have been on LC suspect test rotating councils, so we should be able to provide enough information on this subject.

We feel this is a good idea for an article for several reasons:
  • Murkrow was just banned. Murkrow was a top threat in the past meta, and with it's departure means much more flying type pokemon have been given the chance to shine.
  • Little Cup has also been an offensive metagame and these pokemon encompass that style of play.
  • Most of the pokemon are good even outside of being sweepers, like Archen, who has stellar support and defensive sets.
  • Fighting and Grass types are quite common in LC, with Steel, Rocks, and Electrics being significantly less common. (Less threatening as well, considering Fletchling and Taillow get fire moves and Archen has EQ!)
  • Tailwind is great for offensive teams, and defog is a good support move, with most users being birds.

    Thank you for your time and good luck in everything you do!

I've looked over Corporal Levi, and it definitely looks like he knows his LC (and is pretty involved as well), so your words are definitely true. :) (And it'll be nice to get a LC article without Goddess Briyella lol ok don't tell her I said that) Toast++ shall grant Corporal access.

Birds are best animals. Approved.
