I don't see Syclar as a viable LC Pokemon based on the sprite and abilities. It's a tiny little bug, and not an intimidating one at that. It's designed to be a baby ant, as it's not a Mountaineer and hides in the snow for protection. Syclar looks to me to be a rather weak Pokemon that evolves into a monster a la Magikarp/Gyarados or Shroomish/Breloom or Tentacool/Tentacruel, etc. but not to such a large extent. Syclar does not look like a particularly strong or fast Pokemon, so I would rather it have low stats. I chose a low Speed stat because it doesn't even look like a fast Pokemon. It scuttles, but it looks a bit clunky (not knocking the design, I'm just using it to justify why it should be slow) and doesn't look sleek/quick like some Pokemon like Durant do. Syclar looks like a large, slow bug not a tiny little speedster.

45 HP / 53 Atk / 39 Def / 50 SpA / 34 SDef / 54 Spe is what I envision Syclar's stats to be. The BST is [b]275[b], just under half of Syclant's.
