Competitive battling is a place where your Pokemon are always well EV trained, IV trained and high levelled. In the games however, (Up till Black and White, in XY the EXP share and Super Training made it incredibly easy)most people have experienced this while going through the elite 4. The opponents are usually so well trained and because the players Pokemon arent that well EV trained, sometime or the other, a Pokemon ran out of PP. LowManaMania is a meta where people will have to use their Pokemons pp well so as not to run out of it. Why? Because this is the main feature of this meta: The Pokemon's move will ONLY have 2 - 10 PP! If the moves PP is 5 (Without PP Max) it will become 2, If its higher than 5 and lower than 25, it will have 5 PP, if it has 25 or more, it will have 10 PP.
Because the Pokemon's moves will only have 2-10 PP, the players will have to use their moves carefully and underused moves will get good usage here.
Examples of good underused moves here:
Trump Card: The lower the PP, the higher the base power. Have you ever seen this move being used? Most Probably not. This move becomes useful in this meta because of huge base power before running out.
Lunar Dance: Cresselia's signature move, this move is almost never seen like Cresselia. This is one of the moves almost every cresselia run, and it restores PP too, unlike healing wish. So this is useful for usage of moves more, but beware : It can only be used once as the user faints after using this.
Examples of good underused items here:
Leppa Berry: Never seen in competitive play, but it does help here when a moves PP runs out,
Metronome: If you use the move consecutively, a boost to its power. 170+ BP Trump Card. Now thats power
