      🧸 Little Cup

      Cyndaquil is not a good fit for any of the open metas, unsurprisingly. Even in the 500 CP Little Cup format, it’s not particularly strong. However, it can be a fun spice pick to try out. Cyndaquil’s main strength is fast attack pressure with Ember, which can devastate unsuspecting meta picks such as Bronzor or Cottonee. However, in this case, Cyndaquil’s Shadow form is superior.
