Strategy Overview

Hoppip's unique typing combination in Little Cup, which gives it an interesting STAB combination and a number of useful resistances, is backed by an excellent movepool for disrupting, attacking, and supporting. Furthermore, its ability Infiltrator means that not even Substitute can block Hoppip's Sleep Powder, turning Hoppip into a potent offensive and supportive threat. Despite its lack of outstanding stats, which creates the potential for it to be walled once Sleep Clause is activated, as well as its few minor, easily patched-up weaknesses, Hoppip fulfills a specific and desirable role on a multitude of teams.
