Strategy Overview

Due to its good defensive typing, excellent ability, and utility provided by Spore, Foongus is one of the best defensive Pokemon in Little Cup. With the longevity provided by Regenerator and Synthesis, Foongus is able to reliably check many threats over the course of the game, including Chinchou, Grookey, and Mienfoo. Spore is threatening due to the fast-paced nature of Little Cup and luck-based nature of sleep. However, due to Foongus being relatively passive, it can be taken advantage of offensively once Spore has been exhausted.
