[OVERVIEW]
With an awful typing and 50 base stats across the board, Snorunt is completely unviable in Little Cup. Poor abilities in Inner Focus and Ice Body only continue to plummet Snorunt's value, and a lackluster movepool prevents it from being a semi-effective battler. Amaura has better coverage along with better attacking stats, making it the superior Ice-type in the metagame.
[SET]

[SET COMMENTS]
This sets aims at getting Spikes up by outspeeding the opposing lead. However, its low bulk and attacking stats prevent it from becoming a true threat, and its Ice typing makes it easy prey for the plethora of Fighting-types in Little Cup. Amaura is a more well-rounded Ice-type attacker, while Alolan Vulpix provides better support overall with Aurora Veil. Ferroseed and Omanyte can both set Spikes themselves while sporting better stats and a more diverse movepool.
