Shinx

Shinx is quite the underestimated Pokemon. At first glance, it seems as if it is badly outclassed by the likes of Elekid and Electrike, but there is one environment where Shinx excels and they do not - Trick Room. Shinx has a mere 45 base Speed, which allows it to outpace many Pokemon when Trick Room is in play. In addition, Shinx has two great abilities in Rivalry and Intimidate, the former possibly boosting the power of Shinx's moves.

However, Shinx does have a few glaring weaknesses. The first one is its weakness to Ground and its poor defenses, making it difficult for Shinx to switch in safely. Also, its strongest physical STAB attacks are Thunder Fang and Spark, both of which have an incredibly low 65 Base Power. In addition, Shinx's movepool is fairly limited and does not include much useful high Base Power physical attacks. All in all, Shinx is a decent Pokemon to use, but finds a hard time getting a team slot in Little Cup.
