In what should be a surprise to no one, the Little Cup Council has decided to ban Corsola-Galar from Gen 8 Little Cup.
Corsola-Galar is arguably the greatest defensive threat Little Cup has ever seen. Boasting 60/100/100 defenses, Will-o-Wisp, Strength Sap, Calm Mind, and Cursed Body, Corsola-Galar is extremely difficult to KO. When you factor in the Ghost typing which not only prevents trapping but is more difficult to punish because of Knock Off's limited distribution and Pursuit's removal from the game, you have a threat which requires the efforts of numerous Pokemon to effectively take it down. We wanted to wait a few days to give people an opportunity to test out different teams and possible counter-play methods, but the available options are minute at best.
The Council will continue to discuss the current state of the metagame and provide more updates soon.
