🧸 Little Cup

Starly’s Defense stat may be a downer, but this little bird is blessed with powerful moves such as Fly and Brave Bird, which, when combined with Quick Attack, makes Starly quite terrifying. 🤯

It works equally well with or without shields and defeats Seel, Greavard, Shelmet, Chansey, Ducklett, Vulpix, Cottonee, and Wooper. Cheers to Starly in the Little Cup! 😄
