🧸 Little Cup

Shadow 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. Shadow Cyndaquil’s main strength is fast attack pressure with Ember, which can devastate unsuspecting meta picks such as Bronzor or Cottonee.
