ORAS LC The new Little Cup team that has been shaping the meta

[dragoniteluver23]

Hi I have secretly been playing LC for atleast 2-3 years and I've never really shown myself or talked to anyone, but I would like to make my first appearance in LC by showing you all the team I made. This team is actually unbeatable and it will soon change the ORAS LC meta. I will not be adding Pawniard to this team so please dont waste your time and suggest such a useless pokemon. While it may seem like there is an underlying theme to this team, there actually isn't. It's just a very balanced, well designed team that I take pride in.

Purrloin @ Eviolite
Ability: Prankster
Level: 5
EVs: 188 HP / 180 Def / 60 SpD / 68 Spe
Careful Nature
- Encore
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Thunder Wave

This pokemon is the bread and butter of this team. Purrloin fits such a good support role because it has the prankster ability and can just t-wave everything and slow them down. It can also encore other pokemon into moves, for example a dwebble that plans on shell smashing. You can just dumpster him with a nice encore. Purrloin also learns knock off which is a very useful move. The idea of this team is to knock off every mons eviolite so Scraggy has an easier time sweeping the life out of people.

Vullaby @ Eviolite
Ability: Overcoat
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 236 Def / 76 SpD / 36 Spe
Impish Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Knock Off
- Brave Bird

This bird has knock off and is pretty bulky so it kinda just fits the role I needed. I needed something bulky that could take hits and could also learn knock off because knock off is a crucial part of this team. It helps my sweeping pokemon sweep. It also has defog which is something I needed so that was also nice and reliable recovery with roost.

Stunky @ Eviolite
Ability: Aftermath
Level: 5
EVs: 172 HP / 60 Atk / 60 Def / 28 SpA / 188 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit
- Sludge Bomb
- Fire Blast

The EV's I run on this stunky are to dumpster and counter retards that think they're safe switching an abra or gastly in with this thing still alive. I can reliably tank 3+ hits from any abra or gastly even if its 252 spatk modest life orb and when the retards finally realize they can't actually do anything to me and try to switch out, I hit them with a nice pursuit. Fire Blast is also for the retards that think ferroseed is a switch in, which it isn't.

Carvanha @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
Level: 5
EVs: 196 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Aqua Jet
- Protect

Carvanha was added because he also has the ability to sweep if I were to ever let Scraggy die by mistake. There's not much to say other than what I just said so I will give my thoughts on the Spatk Carvanha set that some people run. It actually sucks and if you use it I'm sure you don't win. This is the most optimal Carvanha set and if you ever get the opportunity to battle me I will prove to you why.

Houndour @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
Level: 5
EVs: 36 Atk / 196 SpA / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Fire Blast
- Dark Pulse
- Sucker Punch
- Destiny Bond​

Houndour was added for the sole reason that he hits extremely hard and can wear down enemy walls so Scraggy or Carvanha can sweep. I have the ability set as Flash Fire because my Vullaby can already take spores and sleep powders so why does Houndour need it. It also helps dumpstering people that think they are safe to use a fire move. I absorb their fire move and shoot a 1.5x boosted fire blast at them. Destiny Bond was added just because it's a really good move and can help in clutch situations.

Scraggy @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 212 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Knock Off
- Drain Punch
- Poison Jab

This pokemon named Scraggy actually gives no f***s and with a choice scarf he gives even less f***s than the amount of f***s he already didn't give. After the team has been weakened by all the knock offing, there actually is 0% chance he wont 6-0 sweep you. The moxie ability just makes his job of cleaning up so much easier. Posion Jab is for the retards that think fairy types are a switch in.

So that is my team. I actually don't even need critiques or advice because I already know it's perfect. I could actually just use some congratulations and well done's for making such a great team. Also, I will say it again, it may look like there is a theme to this team but there really isn't. It's just a well built team that actually doesn't lose, even to the most cookie cutter OP lc pokemon teams.

just a small piece of advice

dont use mono dark so you dont lose to every single bug fairy or fighting type pokemon in LC

its vague but helpful

ill edit the post later with suggestions

Hello dragoniteluver23,
Nice team you have there! The offensive pressure placed on the opposing team by so many Knock Off users seems like it could be really effective. I can definitely see the metagame being in for quite a shift with a strategy this dangerous on the radar.
With that being said, your team really struggles against Fletchling, as it deals heavy damage to most of your team except Vullaby, which is easily worn down. In addition, your team struggles a fair bit against Snubbull, because nothing can switch in, and it is unlikely to stay in on Houndour. Plus, your team doesn't need that many Dark-type moves, so Crunch isn't necessary on Carvanha. You mentioned you don't want critiques, but I think it would be very helpful if you changed Carvanha to an Eviolite Destiny Bond variant, which can survive Fletchling's Acrobatics, and lure out and take down Snubbull.
Carvanha @ Eviolite
Ability: Speed Boost
Level: 5
EVs: 196 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Destiny Bond
- Aqua Jet
- Protect
That's all I have! I don't want to change too much because your team is already super strong. Good luck!

I love your team a ton man! One thing that I did notice is that your weak is quite week to fairy types. I suggest fixing this by replacing sucker punch with sludge bomb on houndour. This will help to patch up that weakness a bit. I really don't see a way that a team this good can be any better. Have fun using it!
