In the diverse tier of Little Cup, newcomers may find it difficult to navigate the many Pokemon that can fulfill a given role, while experienced veterans might try to find something new or underused to surprise common metagame trends. The following is a role compendium that visually showcases what any given Pokemon can viably do in order to support its team. Each section covers a general role that a Pokemon can carry out, while subsections specifically show (in order of viability) a visible list of what job that Pokemon is doing. This compendium aims to improve the diversity of teams as well as discuss new roles that a Pokemon can undertake. Feel free to discuss whether Pokemon should be added or removed to a given role; however, this thread is not meant to be a place for discussion about the viability of Pokémon in general, unless a Pokémon's placement is drastically off - we have a metagame discussion thread and viability rankings for that. Thanks to Corporal Levi, Cheek Pouch,Coconut. and Quote for all the help.
