Not that it'll make a difference but... where's Castform? The old guy needs some love :[
Wouldn't Xerneas be on the ban list? It technically has a form and it won't make a difference whatsoever, but still.

Can you use Kyurem-Black/White and the therian forms in this micro meta, by the way? Just wondering.

Added Castform into the list, Xerneas to ban list, and you can use both formes of Kyurem and genies.

The link for Formeations is messed up (leads to the Gem Mons thread).

:( That's almost pretty much what i had just with only the forms allowed, and it became arceus cup. Eh whatever, life is life.
EDIT: what a way to use my 400th post.

If Furfrou, Vivillon, Sawsbuck, and Gastrodon's strictly aesthetic forms are allowed, why not Florges?

I've been playing around with a Fledgling Cup team (in LC battles, since I haven't been able to find many Fledgling Cup players), and Copycat Riolu is fun. Initial predictions of its power are probably on point, as even in LC it can do serious damage to an unprepared team. Additionally, the best counters to the set (Spritzee and Abra) aren't in Fledgling Cup, making priority High Jump Kick potentially devastating.

Here's the set I've been using:

Riolu @ Eviolite
Ability: Prankster
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 196 Atk / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Copycat
- Iron Tail

And here's some replays of it in action:

So far, I've had to just play the Fledgling team in Little Cup, but if anyone wants to battle in the Fledgling format, I'm up for a challenge pretty much whenever I'm online.
