Strategy Overview
At first glance, Gulpin might seem to be a decent Pokemon to use in Little Cup. Its fair defenses and Poison typing seem to make it a good defensive Pokemon. However, Gulpin's movepool is horrendous; a complete lack of moves to use at all completely destroys any viability Gulpin would have. In addition, being a pure Poison-type means than Gulpin is extremely weak to the very common Gligar. Gulpin should never be considered seriously for a Little Cup team, as there are better pure Poison-type Pokemon if you are looking for a Fighting-type resist.
