I just started Little Cup and I just love it. If you don't know what Little Cup is and you participate in competitive Pokemon battles, you should. Little Cup is just a standard and rules for battling, kinda like tier, but here are the rules I play by:

* All Pokemon must be level 5.
* Eligible Pokemon are Pokemon that can evolve, but they must be the lowest evolution state, i.e. Pichu is allowed, but not Pikachu.
* Only moves that a Pokemon can learn at or before level 5 are allowed, i.e. egg moves and move tutor attacks are allowed.
* A few Pokemon like Scyther, Yanma, and Sneasel are banned because they are too strong.
* In normal Little Cup, TM and HM moves are allowed, but I don't like this rule, so I don't abide by it.

There are a few facts and suggestions for Little Cup, here are a few:
* You do not necessarily need to put 252 EV's into a stat to max it since we play at level 5. The amount of EV's needed to max a stat depends on the base stat. If the base stat ends in a "3", then 252 EV's are needed to max out the stat(add 4 points to it), but if the stat ends in a "2", then only 180 EV's are needed to max the stat with +4 points. Also, if you want to add just +1 point to a stat that ends in "3", you need only 12 EV's. Here is a quick chart:

• 3 - 12/92/172/252 EVs


• 4 - 4/84/164/244 EVs


• 5 - 76/156/236 EVs


• 6 - 68/148/228 EVs


• 7 - 60/140/220 EVs


• 8 - 52/132/212 EVs


• 9 - 44/124/204 EVs


• 0 - 36/116/196 EVs


• 1 - 28/108/188 EVs


• 2 - 20/100/180 EVs
