Strategy Overview
Shroomish is one of three Pokemon in Little Cup with access to the move Spore, which is the only sleep-inducing move with perfect accuracy. Shroomish also boasts decent defenses and a useful defensive typing which allows it to wall common Pokemon such as Drilbur and Chinchou. Shroomish also gets access to some decent attacks such as Giga Drain and Drain Punch in addition to Synthesis, meaning it can recover off damage quite easily. Poison Heal allows Shroomish to recover even more health as well as act as a status absorber, albeit at the cost of the defensive boost given by Eviolite. However, Shroomish isn't spectacular at dishing out hits, as its offensive stats are unimpressive and it is also easily walled by Pokemon such as Foongus, Croagunk, Trubbish, and Ferroseed. Although its defensive typing can help it out against Ground- and Water-type opponents, Shroomish's glaring weaknesses to Pokemon such as Fletchling and Foongus means that they will have little trouble beating it with their super effective STAB moves.
