Strategy Overview
Staryu is one of the best entry hazard removers in Little Cup thanks to its great Speed, good typing, and cool coverage. Though it competes with Defog users such as Vullaby, being able to maintain allied entry hazards when using Rapid Spin is an important advantage. Additionally, the combination of Hydro Pump and Analytic makes Staryu's offensive sets even more potent. All of these factors combine to make Staryu a great partner for hazard-fearing Pokemon such as Ponyta and Doduo and an overall excellent glue Pokemon.
