Ekans

Say hello to Ekans, perhaps the most underrated threat in Little Cup. A good defensive typing allows it to tank hits from Fighting-type threats such as Mienfoo, while its amazing support movepool, including Substitute, Swagger, Disable, Protect, Switcheroo, and Glare, can be used to stall out the opponent until they're knocked out from residual damage or Ekans's variety of attacks. It even gets two great abilities in the form of Intimidate and Shed Skin. Unfortunately, Ekans has no other appeal, as offensively, it is outclassed by Croagunk and Grimer. It also must overcome the problem of horrible offensive typing with good team support; Poison-type moves hit only Grass-type Pokemon super effectively, while not doing any damage to Steel-types and being resisted by four other types. Ekans also suffers from subpar stats, which makes it hard to consider for a spot on a team. Ultimately, although it has a few problems, Ekans is a good Pokemon that poses a threat to many opponents.
