Strategy Overview
Sandshrew is truly a versatile Pokemon in Little Cup. Not only is it able to abuse its massive physical bulk to support its teammates with both Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, but it is also able to utilize its above-average Attack stat along with its decent base Speed and passable offensive movepool to present a formidable offensive threat in LC if given a sufficient amount of support from its teammates. Sandshrew can easily be classified as one of the most efficient, though overlooked Pokemon in the tier of Little Cup.
