Strategy Overview
Squirtle's diverse movepool, including support moves such as Fake Out and Rapid Spin, makes it seem appealing, but its lackluster stats hold it back from ever being useful in Little Cup. All of its possible sets are outclassed by other, better Water-types such as Staryu and Corphish, with any niches it has over these Pokemon being small or insignificant. Squirtle is a pretty terrible Pokemon in general and doesn't fit on nearly any team.
