Strategy Overview

Hoppip is rarely seen in Little Cup due to its combination of low base stats and poor typing. However, Hoppip has a great support movepool, which includes Encore, Sleep Powder, and Memento. Hoppip may not seem immediately threatening, but don't let that cute face fool you. Underestimating Hoppip's supporting prowess can easily lead to your team's demise at the hands of one of its teammates.
