Archen

Thanks to a great base 112 Attack and a good base 70 Speed, Archen is a strong offensive Pokemon in Little Cup. Its unique Rock / Flying typing also makes it a good check to Normal- and Flying-types, such as Bunnelby and Rufflet, while also giving STAB to powerful moves such as Stone Edge and Acrobatics. Archen's interesting utility movepool, which includes U-turn, Knock Off, Stealth Rock, Defog, and Roost, also allows it to support its team in various ways.

However, Archen has a terrible ability in Defeatist, which halves both its Attack and Special Attack when its HP drops below half. It also suffers from a weakness to Stealth Rock, which makes it even harder to avoid falling into Defeatist range as well as to come in and remove Stealth Rock with Defog.
