LC Mareep

[Starly]

[OVERVIEW]
With horrible base stats and an incredibly limited movepool, Mareep finds itself with no use whatsoever in Little Cup. Although it can set both Reflect and Light Screen for its allies and remove status with Heal Bell, there are better Pokemon that set dual screens, such as Alolan Vulpix with its Aurora Veil or Voltorb. It is also bait for setup sweepers, who can take advantage of Mareep's passiveness and burn through the dual screens with ease with their boosted stats.

Mareep's bulk allows it to support its allies with its dual screens. On the other hand, Spritzee carries the more useful Wish + Protect combo along with the ability to set dual screens itself with its higher bulk. Alolan Vulpix carries the better screen move in Aurora Veil, and Voltorb does the same job as Mareep but boasts a higher Speed stat. Both are superior options, especially the former, when it comes to supporting your team.

[OVERVIEW]
This is fine, though I'd switch the mention of Defog to being about the fact that there are way better screen setters. Also, combine and cut your sentences to get down to 2/3 sentences.

[SET]
Honestly, I'm going to say go Eviolite. Light Screen makes for better support, sure, but Mareep is neither fast enough nor naturally bulky enough to validate Light Clay. That's better done by Voltorb or Snivy or Alolapix or something.

[SET COMMENTS]
Since you should switch this to an Evolite set, I'd phrase this as Mareep's role being to use its acceptable bulk to set up screen support for allies. Then do two sentences about what outclasses it - first should be Spritzee who can perform the role of bulky screen setter+cleric far better due to type and bulk (it just doesn't because it has better things to do). Second should mention Alolapix and I'd say add a Voltorb mention despite voltorb being garbage, and say that both are much more effective at supporting the team - Apix for its ability to set up both screens at once and Voltorb for its higher speed. The hail supporting ashrew isn't really good enough to keep in.

looks fine

Implement this and then give yourself an official 1/2

thank mr. merritt
1/2 done

In Set Comments, you go from 'Mareep should be setting screens' to 'Spritzee is better' in a single breath. As Merritt said, switch the emphasis of that very first line to Mareep's bulk and access to utility moves, where screens are just part of those utility moves. That way, the statement of being outclassed by Spritzee actually makes sense.

Also, Heal Bell should be mentioned somewhere in the overview, probably in the line you talk about screens (Although it can set both Reflect and Light Screen as well as remove status with Heal Bell...)

QC 2/2 when done
