Strategy Overview

Shinx is the only Pokemon in Little Cup with access to Intimidate and a pivoting move, giving it a niche as a physically defensive pivot. Thanks to Intimidate and its Electric typing, it is also an incredibly reliable counter to Fletchling and other Flying-types. Pure Electric typing is a mixed bag for Shinx; it is only weak to one type, but it only resists three. Shinx's poor base stats and sparse movepool leave it unable to do anything outside of its specific niche, and it faces heavy competition from most other Electric-types. Shinx is additionally hindered by its lack of recovery moves, forcing it to use Berry Juice in order to repeatedly fill its niche.
