Strategy Overview

Despite having an excellent Speed tier and decent mixed offensive stats, Buizel struggles in Little Cup because of its poor defensive stats and underwhelming movepool. Buizel is completely outclassed by Staryu, as Staryu has better stats across the board, as well as a superior movepool and more useful abilities.
