Strategy Overview

Wingull is an interesting Pokemon and has a few uses in Little Cup. Its immunity to Ground-type moves, along with STAB Air Slash, can be a boon in a metagame such as Little Cup. However, Wingull faces a lot of competition from Mantyke, who has much better defensive stats. Wingull also has a lack of Water-type STAB moves. Aside from that, it has a poor ability that doesn't help it. Despite its frail stats overall, though, Wingull's niche in the metagame means that it should always be considered when building a team, and shouldn't be underestimated.
