LC Koffing [LC]

[Splash]

Koffing @ Eviolite
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
Level: 5
EVs: 196 SpA / 76 SpD / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Will-O-Wisp

While being Smogon's mascot, Koffing is a very useful special attacker in the Little Cup metagame. Sporting a great ability in Neutralizing Gas to nullify the abilities of the opposition alongside access to amazing coverage moves, Koffing can often find itself to be very valuable in most matchups due to it being able to check Little Cup's common Fighting-types such as Mienfoo, Timburr, and Scraggy. Fire Blast threatens Pokemon such as Ferroseed, Pawniard, and Foongus, and Thunderbolt nails Pokemon such as Mareanie and Vullaby. Will-O-Wisp allows Koffing to cripple physical attackers such as Grookey, Onix, Mienfoo, and Mudbray. Koffing's ability to muscle through common defensive cores is aided via Knock Off support from teammates such as Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Timburr.

utility attacker

Not entirely sure what a utility attacker is and I don't think your readers will. Just use a more common phrase. Tank? Special Attacker even works.

Koffing can often find itself to be very valuable in most matchups.

Can we mention fighting types here? I feel like that's probably one of best reasons to bring this mon at the moment. Especially considering how ever-present they are in the metagame. I know it's brought up a bit later with the pawn and ferroseed line but I'd prefer to have that moved up and remove that specific team example.

Taunt Mienfoo

Literally not used anymore in favor of Fake Out. The regen line is fine because Koffing's coverage moves beat all of the regen mons (wisp for foo, tbolt for marenaie, fire blast for foongus), but I don't like the Mienfoo as a teammate part. Maybe move this above the teammates section.

In General, I want to focus as much of the spotlight on talking about the Pokemon in question, not the mons that do well with it. Make those changes and we should be good to go!

QC 1/1

Eisenherz unless I missed something I think your image above is incorrect wrt EVs. It should be 196 in SpA rather than HP.

That's right, thanks for letting me know! Fixed!
