Strategy Overview
Clamperl used to be one of Little Cup's biggest terrors, hitting 36 Special Attack with Deep Sea Tooth. However, it faded into obscurity when Deep Sea Tooth was banned. Clamperl can still wreak havoc in Little Cup with its other item, Deep Sea Scale. When the doubled Special Defense from Deep Sea Scale is factored in, Clamperl has the highest overall defenses of any Little Cup Pokemon. Combine this with its still respectable Special Attack, and Clamperl can still work in Little Cup.
