[Overview]
<p>Say hello to the newest Grass-type starter: Snivy. Snivy is a snake that was blessed with a cool design, but unfortunately cursed with mediocre stats and with poor coverage. Despite these flaws, however, not all is bad for Snivy. As the only Grass-type in Little Cup with access to both dual screens and Taunt, this smug little snake is still worthy of consideration when making a team.</p>

[SET]
name: Dual Screens
move 1: Reflect
move 2: Light Screen
move 3: Taunt
move 4: Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
item: Light Clay / Eviolite
nature: Timid
evs: 236 HP / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Access to Taunt makes Snivy capable of performing its job well. With enough speed to outrun common walls such as Slowpoke and Lickitung, Snivy can set up dual screens and avoid becoming setup bait. Leaf Storm is Snivy's most powerful Grass-type attack against enemies under the effect of Taunt, while Giga Drain provides modest recovery.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The EV spread gives Snivy as much Speed as possible. Light Clay is the recommended item to maximize the effectiveness of dual screens, but Eviolite is an alternative to give Snivy more bulk, which proves effective against faster opponents such as Houndour, which can OHKO Snivy before it sets up. Toxic is an option in the fourth slot to deal with special walls and opponents that resist Grass-type moves, but sacrifices Snivy's only attacking move. An alternate EV spread of 236 HP / 76 Def / 76 SpD / 92 Spe can be used with a Bold or Calm nature to give Snivy extra bulk, but comes at the cost of outspeeding fast walls. Snivy already outruns common walls such as Ferroseed and Slowpoke, but if you are worried about becoming setup fodder for faster sweepers and dual screen users such as Baltoy, Spoink, and Mime Jr., Snivy should run full Speed.</p>

<p>Cottonee is able to outpace Snivy with a Prankster Taunt, shrugs off a Leaf Storm or Giga Drain, and can even retaliate with Hidden Power Fire. To counter this cotton puff, teammates such as Stunky and Houndour are appreciated. Ironically, Scraggy, who is among Snivy's worst enemies, is also a good teammate that enjoys dual screen support. While Scraggy fares exceptionally well under dual screens, it is weak to Fighting-type moves, including Brick Break, and shares a Flying-type weakness. Clamperl, Cranidos, and Agility Chinchou also enjoy dual screens and can take Fire-type attacks aimed at Snivy, who discourages the use of Grass-, Ground-, and Electric-type moves, giving the aforementioned Pokemon more room to switch in.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Snivy has access to boosting moves such as Coil, Swords Dance, and Growth, but it lacks the offensive stats to put them to good use. Mean Look traps opponents, but Snivy cannot do much to them afterward. SubSeed is another alternative, but Cottonee and Ferroseed are far superior options, and that move combination is illegal with Mean Look due to breeding restrictions. Glare is an option on the dual screens set, but Toxic is more useful for killing bulky threats. Snivy can also use Pursuit on the dual screens set, but it does laughable damage even to opponents that switch out. Mirror Coat can work with a Focus Sash, but a set using it would be very risky with the abundance of weather, entry hazards, and priority.

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Due to its access to Taunt, there are few enemies that can prevent Snivy from performing its job before going down. However, Cottonee outpaces Snivy with a Prankster Taunt, and Magic Bounce Natu fears nothing from Taunt, setting up dual screens of its own while shaking off Leaf Storm or Giga Drain. Brick Break users such as Pawniard can shatter dual screens, and faster threats such as Houndour can outspeed Snivy and strike it down if it hasn't set them up yet. The rarely seen Mime Jr. can imitate Snivy's efforts and Taunt tactics while outspeeding bulky Snivy. Wynaut can hinder Snivy by trapping it, but cannot do much in return.</p>

[Dream World]

<p>Snivy's Dream World ability, Contrary, would be useful in conjunction with Leaf Storm, increasing instead of decreasing the snake's Special Attack by two stages.</p>
 
I can't believe we started in LC C&C at the same time and I'm doing this but here we go.

Scraggy is an awesome teammate for anything running Dual Screens, I've found, and Snivy really is no exception, mention that in AC. The two are both weak to Flying (read: Acrobatics Gligar) so using it with something like Slowpoke could be cool, as that helps you play around it a bit especially if you get Reflect up on the switch.

Also Perversity is actually Contrary now in English, so change that.

Some other things look decent until you look at the rest of its movepool and it's just so hilariously bad I can't add much more, you did a good job with this.

QC 1/2
 
If Snivy lacks Toxic or Glare, anything that resists Grass or is specially bulky can use Snivy to set up

Not if it has Taunt, which it always should have, because that's the whole point of Snivy.

If Snivy lacks Taunt, then Ferroseed and Bronzor can easily set up

Ditto, Taunt isn't slashed with anything on the set, so it should always be used.

[QC 2/2]

I would totally use Mean Look+Toxic+Torment+Substitute.

[Overview]
<p>Say hello to the metagame's newest Grass-type starter. Snivy is a snake that was blessed with a cool design, but unfortunately cursed with mediocre stats and an shallow movepool with poor coverage. Despite these flaws, not all is bad for Snivy. As the only Grass-type in Little Cup with access to both Dual Screens and Taunt, this smug little snake is still worth considering when making a team.</p>

[SET]
name: Dual Screens
move 1: Reflect
move 2: Light Screen
move 3: Taunt
move 4: Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
item: Light Clay / Eviolite
ability: Overgrow
nature: Bold / Calm
evs: 236 HP / 76 Def / 76 SpD / 92 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Access to Taunt makes Snivy surprisingly capable of performing his job well. With enough speed to outrun common walls, Snivy can set up Dual Screens while avoiding being setup bait for Ferroseed, slower Dual Screeners, and Trick Room users. Leaf Storm and Giga Drain are Snivy's best STAB moves for fighting off Taunted enemies, the former hitting harder while the latter provides recovery. Be aware that this also </p>

<p>The EVs are set to give Snivy as much bulk as possible while giving him enough Speed to outrun Wynaut and slow leads. Light Clay is the recommended item to maximize the effectiveness of Dual Screens, but Eviolite is another alternative to give Snivy more bulk against faster opponents like Houndour, who can take Snivy down before he sets up.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>Toxic can be used in the fourth slot to deal with special walls and opponents that resist Grass-type moves. Though this would cause faster Taunt users to be even more of a problem for Snivy, he will usually lose to these foes anyway. An alternate EV spread of 236 HP / 252 Spe can be used with a Timid nature for Snivy to reach 17 Speed, allowing him to outspeed Pokemon in the fifth and sixth speed tiers with Taunt. Snivy already outruns common walls like Ferroseed and Bronzor, but if you are worried about being set up on by faster sweepers and Dual Screeners like Baltoy, Spoink, and Mime Jr., then Snivy can run full Speed.</p>

<p>Gligar, Misdreavus, and Cottonee are able to outpace Snivy with Taunt while shrugging off a Leaf Storm or Giga Drain and striking back with Acrobatics, Shadow Ball, or Hidden Power Fire respectively. For these threats, teammates like Slowpoke, Stunky, and Houndour are appreciated. Ironically, Misdreavus and Scraggy, who are among Snivy's bitterest enemies also make good teammates that enjoy Dual Screens support. Misdreavus blocks incoming Brick Breaks while Scraggy fares exceptionally well under Dual Screens, but be aware of the Flying-type weakness that Scraggy shares, especially from Acrobatics Gligar. Frail sweepers like Clamperl, Cranidos, and Zorua like Dual Screens support as well.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Snivy has access to boosting moves like Coil, Swords Dance, and Growth, but he lacks the offensive stats to put them to good use. Mean Look traps opponents, but Snivy cannot do much to them afterwards without risking his own life. SubSeed is another alternative, but Cottonee and Ferroseed are far superior at it, and it is illegal with Mean Look due to breeding restrictions. Glare is an option on the Dual Screens set, but Toxic is more useful for killing bulky threats. Snivy can also use Pursuit on the Dual Screens set, but it does little to nothing against opponents who aren't switching out. Mirror Coat can work with a Focus Sash, but a set using it would be very risky with the abundance of weather, entry hazards, and priority to break the sash.

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Due to his ability to use Taunt, there are few specific enemies that can prevent Snivy from performing his job before going down. Among these opponents are Gligar, Misdreavus, and Cottonee, who outpace Snivy with Taunt. Acrobatics Gligar can also deal heavy damage to him even under Dual Screens. Magic Bounce Natu also gets special mention as he fears nothing from Taunt and can set up Dual Screens of his own while taking little damage from Leaf Storm or Giga Drain. Brick Break users like Scraggy, Pawniard, and Elekid can shatter Dual Screens. Faster threats like Houndour can outspeed Snivy and strike him down if he hasn't set up Dual Screens. The rarely seen Mime Jr. can imitate Snivy's Dual Screens + Taunt tactic while outspeeding Snivy if he is not running full Speed. Wynaut can hinder Snivy by trapping him, but without the effectiveness of Encore, Snivy can stall out Wynaut with Reflect and Light Screen until he decides to switch out.</p>

[Dream World]

<p>Snivy's Dream World ability, Contrary, would be useful in conjunction with Leaf Storm, but it is not released yet.</p>

You should explain why Contrary would be a useful ability. Also in AC name teammates that have good synergy with Snivy and likes screens.

With enough speed to outrun common walls(such as?), Snivy can set up Dual Screens while avoiding being setup bait for Ferroseed, slower Dual Screeners, and Trick Room users. Leaf Storm and Giga Drain is are Snivy's best form of offense againstSTAB moves for fighting off Taunted enemies, the former hitting harder while the latter provides recovery.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The EVs spread are set to gives Snivy as much speed Speed as possible to outrun as many opponents as possible. Light Clay is the recommended item to maximize the effectiveness of Dual Screens, but Eviolite is another alternative to give Snivy more bulk against faster opponents such as like Houndour, who can OHKO take Snivy down before it sets up.

<p>Cottonee is able to outpace Snivy with a Prankster Taunt while shrugging off a Leaf Storm or Giga Drain and striking strike back with Hidden Power Fire. To counter it, teammates such as like Slowpoke, (how exactly does Slowpoke counter Cottonee? O.o) Stunky, (delete comma) and Houndour are appreciated. Ironically, Scraggy, who is among Snivy's worst bitterest enemies is also makes a good teammate that enjoys Dual Screens support. Gastly blocks incoming Brick Breaks, but must be careful around Pawniard. While while Scraggy fares exceptionally well under Dual Screens, but be aware of the Flying-type weakness that Scraggy shares. (Pawniard is Dark/Steel) it is weak to Fighting-type moves, including Brick Break, and shares a Flying-type weakness. Clamperl, Cranidos, and Agility Chinchou also enjoy like Dual Screens while taking Fire-type attacks aimed at Snivy. In addition,Snivy discourages the use of Grass-type, Ground-type, and Electric-type moves, giving them more room to switch in.</p>

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Due to its access to ability to use Taunt, there are few specific enemies that can prevent Snivy from performing its job before going down. One of these is Cottonee, who outpaces Snivy with a Prankster Taunt. (delete period) while Magic Bounce Natu also gets special mention as it fears nothing from Taunt and can set up Dual Screens of its own while taking little damage from Leaf Storm or Giga Drain. Brick Break users such as like Scraggy, Pawniard, and Elekid can shatter Dual Screens. Faster threats such as like Houndour can outspeed Snivy and strike it down if it hasn't set up Dual Screens.

[Dream World]

<p>Snivy's Dream World ability, Contrary, would be useful in conjunction with Leaf Storm, due to the as it would increase in Snivy's Special Attack by two stages as opposed to the decrease lowering it. However, this ability is not released yet.</p>

An alternate EV spread of 236 HP / 76 Def / 76 SpD / 92 Spe can be used with a Bold or Calm nature to give Snivy extra bulk, but comes at the cost of outspeeding fast walls. Snivy already outruns common walls such as Ferroseed and Slowpoke, but if you are worried about becoming setup fodder for faster sweepers and dual screen users such as Baltoy, Spoink, and Mime Jr., Snivy should run full Speed.</p>

<p>Cottonee is able to outpace Snivy with a Prankster Taunt, shrugs off a Leaf Storm or Giga Drain, and can even retaliate with Hidden Power Fire. To counter this cotton puff, teammates such as Stunky and Houndour are appreciated. Ironically, Scraggy, who is among Snivy's worst enemies, is also a good teammate that enjoys dual screen support. While Scraggy fares exceptionally well under dual screens, it is weak to Fighting-type moves, including Brick Break, and shares a Flying-type weakness. Clamperl, Cranidos, and Agility Chinchou also enjoy dual screens and can take Fire-type attacks aimed at Snivy, who discourages the use of Grass-, Ground-, and Electric-type moves, giving the aforementioned Pokemon more room to switch in.</p>

[Other Options]

<p>Snivy has access to boosting moves such as Coil, Swords Dance, and Growth, but it lacks the offensive stats to put them to good use. Mean Look traps opponents, but Snivy cannot do much to them afterward. SubSeed is another alternative, but Cottonee and Ferroseed are far superior options, and that move combination is illegal with Mean Look due to breeding restrictions. Glare is an option on the dual screens set, but Toxic is more useful for killing bulky threats. Snivy can also use Pursuit on the dual screens set, but it does laughable damage even to opponents that switch out. Mirror Coat can work with a Focus Sash, but a set using it would be very risky with the abundance of weather, entry hazards, and priority.

[Checks and Counters]

<p>Due to its access to Taunt, there are few enemies that can prevent Snivy from performing its job before going down. However, Cottonee outpaces Snivy with a Prankster Taunt, and Magic Bounce Natu fears nothing from Taunt, setting up dual screens of its own while shaking off Leaf Storm or Giga Drain. Brick Break users such as Pawniard can shatter dual screens,. F and faster threats such as Houndour can outspeed Snivy and strike it down if it hasn't set them up yet up dual screens. The rarely seen Mime Jr. can imitate Snivy's efforts and Taunt tactics while outspeeding bulky Snivy. Wynaut can hinder Snivy by trapping it, but cannot do much in return.</p>

[Dream World]

<p>Snivy's Dream World ability, Contrary, would be useful in conjunction with Leaf Storm, increasing instead of decreasing the snake's Special Attack by two stages.</p>
