Strategy Overview
Vullaby is Little Cup's glue gal: splashable and flexible. It is a switch-in to Ground-types, Knock Off absorber, wallbreaker, pivot, and sweeper all bundled into one skull diaper. Vullaby is the main offensive check to most of LC's physical threats because it can punish attacks it survives with Weak Armor. At +2 Speed, it outpaces the entire metagame. Its tremendous natural bulk also allows it to tank most super effective hits from full HP, and with Tera paired with Roost or Tera Blast, it can account for most remaining threats like Chinchou and Elekid. Physically offensive Vullaby is its flagship set because of its immediate wallbreaking power. It can dish out powerful Brave Birds, remove Eviolite from various foes with Knock Off, and pivot out with U-turn or break through its checks with a slew of offensive techs. Its various roles fulfill the needs of many team structures, but it typically forms a balance core with Mienfoo and Foongus or Mareanie. Nasty Plot Vullaby is an alternative option that sacrifices its versatility for sweeping potential. This set is a hyper offense staple and a good surprise option on bulky offense teams when partnered with other Knock Off users like Stunky.
