Strategy Overview
Although it has good defenses and access to Sturdy and Stealth Rock, Shieldon is unviable in Little Cup due to its low Speed stat and undesirable weaknesses to the prevalent Fighting- and Ground-types. In addition, it has poor offensive stats and lacks good STAB moves. Overall, Shieldon is outclassed by Dwebble, Onix, and Tirtouga, as these can all run Sturdy sets more effectively.
