So... Who here likes Little Cup?

I have always wanted to try out LC but there just isn't a lot of information about it like, say, OUs on Smogon's page. I actually have some pretty fun ideas to joke around with and have fun with. It looks like a fun metagame to play in ^________^

Also lol Luvdisc is banned.
 
Ah. I assumed it stacked on top of STAB, that's why I thought it would make Eevee broken. It's still good though, just not overly so.

Abra I'm guessing would be horribly OU if not banned. Focus Punch will always OHKO Happiny and often OHKO Munchlax, from the best special attacker in the metagame that has 19 speed without a scarf? I actually used Abra back in GSC's Little Cup and it was awesome then, before Focus Punch to deal with special walls.
 
I love to play LC on the official server, except no one makes teams anymore...

Anyways..

I noticed alot of you guys were talkin about banned pokemon, and pokemon that shouldn't be on there. I think the rule is that if a pokemon is allowed to be used in LC if and only if it is the first of an evolutionary family of three pokemon(etc. in the Pikachu family, only Pichu is allowed.) There are some exceptions, however, based on stats, I think.

Here's a list of pokemon I know for sure cant be used in LC:
Sneasel
Scyther
Wynaut
Shuckle
Luvdisc
Miltank

Miltank, Shuckle, and Luvdisc don't even meet the regular qualifications for LC.

No. The larger community in Shoddy tends to agree that the Pokemon must simply have an evolution (as opposed to requiring a second evolution) and no restriction on stats. Pokemon unusable in LC are Pokemon that cannot evolve, have evolved, or have been banned for being too powerful.

Also, Wynaut is allowed in LC, as the more offensive metagame severely reduces its effectiveness.
