      🧸 Little Cup

      Being extremely fragile, Shadow Drilbur has limited viability in the Little League. However, its hard-hitting moves and coverage help beat Deino, Chansey, and Swampert. That's all there is to this Pokémon, unfortunately, so it's best not to use it in battles.

      Shadow Drilbur is completely unviable for any other PvP League.
