Introduction

Welcome to the Little Cup Hub! Little Cup is a metagame where Pokemon that have not yet evolved (but can evolve) duke it out. If you have ever wanted to use cute Pokemon such as Chinchou, Snover, Porygon, and Scraggy successfully, you should check out LC. This hub will feature everything important regarding LC. In addition to the news that will be on this page, on the left side of the page there are also links to the LC Pokemon and analyses, the LC forum, current and past projects, other resources, and an archive of past news. Check this space regularly if you're interesting in LC or looking to get into it, and join us on the forums and on IRC at #littlecup! Find out more about IRC here.

Over the course of April, our writers have put forth lots of time and effort in keeping our LC analyses up to date! Additionally, the Little Cup Quality Control team has been hard at work maintaining the competitive accuracy of our analyses! Our community has managed to update six analyses in April, and we are currently working on more; you can help us out by visiting the Contributions & Corrections forum.

Over the past month, our users have been hard at work writing analyses and other content for the hub. Without our dedicated users, this wouldn't be possible, so a huge thanks to them is necessary. If you're interested in contributing an article, analysis, or letter to the site, check out our Contributions & Corrections forum. Below is a list of content uploaded in the last month.

Speed Boost as a Possible Suspect

Posted by Charmander on Mar 06, 2013.

After some previous discussion on Speed Boost, the Little Cup Council and other Little Cup players have decided to discuss the possibility of banning the Speed Boost ability and unbanning Yanma and Carvanha. In the fourth generation, Yanma was banned due to its overwhelming Speed and sweeping capabilities. After the start of a new generation, this speedy bug was immediately banned for the same reason, and Carvanha later fell with it. However, the community is currently discussing allowing Yanma and Carvanha back into Little Cup without their threatening ability. Read more about it here!
