Strategy Overview
Spinarak is one of the three Pokemon in Little Cup that can use the move Sticky Web, and it is the only one with access to another entry hazard move: Toxic Spikes. Spinarak makes for a great lead with Focus Sash, though its great defensive typing resists common attacking types, such as Fairy and Fighting, allowing it to use Eviolite effectively as well. While its Attack is mediocre, it has powerful STAB options in Megahorn and Poison Jab that Spinarak can do considerable damage with. Spinarak's ability Insomnia allows it to act as a sleep absorber and set up easily on Foongus. However, Spinarak has poor stats. Its Speed can sometimes prevent it from doing its job effectively, and it has mediocre defenses, which are compounded by the fact that it's weak to common attacking types. Its STAB combination can also prove problematic, as it is completely walled by Steel-types.
