Strategy Overview

With decent Speed and Defense stats, a good offensive movepool, and a good defensive typing, Skorupi manages to find itself a niche in the Little Cup metagame. There are many things holding Skorupi back, however. Although it has a wide offensive movepool, its Attack stat is far too low to work effectively. Even though it has high Defense, Skorupi's low Special Defense hinders its overall defensive capabilities. Finally, although Skorupi sports an interesting offensive typing, that typing also leaves it hampered by weaknesses to common Psychic-, Flying-, Rock-, and Fire-type moves.
