LITTLE CUP CHECKS COMPENDIUM - MARVELOUS EDITION
FAQS:
WHAT IS THE LITTLE CUP CHECKS COMPENDIUM - INFAMOUS EDITION?
The Little Cup Checks Compendium - Marvelous Edition is a resource for teambuilding. Its goal is to provide teambuilders with a tool to visualize the offensive and defensive synergies of their teams.
HOW ARE THE POKEMON ARRANGED?
The Pokemon are listed by their ranking in the Little Cup Viability Rankings 2.0 thread. They are listed alphabetically within these ranks. Their checks and what they check are listed alphabetically.
WHAT DO GSI, SSI, AND NSI MEAN?
GSI, SSI, and NSI are used to denote the ability of a certain Pokemon to check another Pokemon. GSI stands for Guaranteed Switch-In, which means that it can always switch into the Pokemon from full health and beat it (always assumes that the Pokemon is running either moves in its analysis or used over 3.41% on the 1730 ladder stats; e.g. Cottonee is a GSI to Carvanha because it doesn't run Poison Fang). SSI stands for Situational Switch-In, which means that it can sometimes switch into the Pokemon from full health and beat it. NSI stands for No Switch-In, which means that it cannot switch into the Pokemon but it can beat it if it can switch in without absorbing a hit. "GSI to" means the Pokemon to which this Pokemon is a guaranteed switch-in, and the same goes for "SSI to" and "NSI to."
WHERE ARE THE B, C, AND D RANKS?
I'm currently working on the B, C, and D ranks. These Pokemon are not as relevant to the Little Cup metagame, so I prioritize the A and high B ranks over them.
WHY ISN'T SUCH-AND-SUCH POKEMON LISTED IN SUCH-AND-SUCH CATEGORY?
I probably forgot it. Please call me out on my bullshit. If you disagree with something, please ask! I would be glad to explain my logic and/or look like a fool but have the Little Cup Checks Compendium - Marvelous Edition be better in the long run. Also, it should be noted that I haven't had the time to proofread the Little Cup Checks Compendium - Marvelous Edition, because I've been working primarily on transcribing the previous iteration and adding details to it to make it more user-friendly, so there may be some errors that I haven't noticed.
HOW CAN I HELP?
This thread is very much a work in progress. I don't think it will ever be perfect, but I'm well aware that I've made a lot of mistakes in my endeavors. As such, I would love if you could take a little time out of your day to look this over and tell me anything you disagree with. You'll be doing everybody a service. Otherwise, you can help by using it to build better teams!
SPECIAL THANKS:
to trash and kingmidas, for compiling the original version of this thread.
to Quote, for approving this project and being way cooler than I thought he was.
to Celestavian and Fiend, for putting lots of work into the Viability Rankings.
to all of my other friends, for being great people.
