Strategy Overview

If cuteness was a stat, Mareep would have base 255. However, it isn't, and thus Mareep suffers. It could be called the worst Electric-type in Little Cup and few people would raise an eyebrow. The Screening Sheep can be effective, but there are still better dual screeners, such as Bronzor and Magnemite. Unless you really like Mareep, want to have a bunch of fun playing Pokemon, or have a theme going, use something else.
