Strategy Overview
Shinx makes its way into the fifth generation with a few new tricks up its sleeve, the most notable of which being its new ability, Guts. It also gained a more powerful STAB move in the form of Wild Charge, which also has great coverage alongside its other moves, such as Crunch, Ice Fang, and Fire Fang. Sadly, not all is great for Shinx, as it is a bit slow, leaving it easily revenge killed. Despite that drawback, Shinx is a viable attacking choice to consider when building a Little Cup team.
