      🧸 Little League

      Cottonee is one of the premier picks in the Little Cup format, particularly in the Jungle Cup. It has a decent stat product, is one of the few charmers in the meta, and can be a real nuisance to face in the right settings. Its Fast Moves are both slow-charging and fairly inflexible, so you’ll be relying on Fast Move pressure to win with this cottonball.
