With a pure Water typing, an amazing ability in Adaptability, and access to Swords Dance, Corphish is a big threat in the Little Cup metagame. Crabhammer is a strong Water type STAB move that doubles in base power thanks to Adaptability. Knock Off is great for removing items such as Eviolite and Berry Juice, allowing Corphish to wallbreak more easily. Aqua Jet is STAB priority which can pick off weakened threats or clean up late-game when paired boosts from with Swords Dance. Superpower is an alternative to run that allows Corphish to KO Ferroseed after it comes in on Knock Off.


Corphish benefits tremendously from Sticky Web setters such as Cutiefly and Dewpider, as this makes up for Corphish being somewhat slow. Pokemon that utilize VoltTurn such as Vullaby or Chinchou are great teammates that allow Corphish to be brought in safely in spite of its poor bulk. Sweepers such as Shellder and Dwebble appreciate Corphish's wallbreaking capabilities allowing them to sweep more easily. A trapping Pokemon such as Trapinch is a great partner for Corphish, as Trapinch can run Superpower to trap and get rid of Ferroseed.

ready for qc 1

- I'd consider naming the set something like 'offensive' or 'eviolite' (perhaps a more experienced QCer could help with this) and slashing swords dance with superpower, a move that allows it to KO ferroseeds that come in on knock offs. I don't think that SDless corphish functions in a distinct enough way to warrant its own set.
- Replace the mention of diglett with trapinch, as diglett is eclipsed by the other two trappers currently
- Mention that superpower trapinch can also help to trap ferroseed in an additional sentence, I'd even consider scrapping a mention of croagunk entirely (it is really bad right now thanks to all of the trappers) and say that gothita is a good partner for trapping mareanie and choice locked chinchou and that trapinch is a good partner for trapping ferroseed
QC 1/2

Did this, ready for check #2

Crabhammer should be the first move on the set, minor standards thing. Also, add a space between the colon and the move name.

Remove the EV sentence, the EVs on the set are intuitive so what you have now is just filler which we don't want in pre analyses.

Remove the line saying "Paragraph 2:"

Saying that Corphish is "taking advantage" of its middling speed isn't quite right, it's more making up for being somewhat slow.

Either give specific examples of what entry hazards let Corphish KO or don't have the sentence in there at all, every Pokemon that exists benefits from entry hazards being on the opposing side.

Morelull is completely unseen, cut the mention entirely.

Credits section isn't formatted quite right, you need a double closing bracket "]]" at the end of the QC and GP lines.

2/2

Thanks, Implemented putting in GP

Remove the Gothita mentions prior to GP checking, as Gothita has been banned from LC.

With a pure Water-typing (no hyphen in "Water typing" only in "Water-type"), an amazing ability in Adaptability, and access to Swords Dance, Corphish is a big threat in the Little Cup metagame. Crabhammer is a strong Water-type STAB move that doubles in base power thanks to Adaptability. (...and no hyphen in "Water type" when specifically mentioning a move that gets STAB. Complicated, isn't it? D:) Knock Off is great for item removal removing items such as Eviolite and Berry Juice(add comma) and allows allowing Corphish to wallbreak more easily. Aqua Jet is STAB priority which can pick off weakened threats or clean up late-game (add hyphen) when paired with boosts from Swords Dance. Superpower is another option to run an alternative that allows Corphish to KO Ferroseed after it comes in on Knock Off.

This was a test of my ability to make sure I understood our standards for hyphen usage, lmao. Looks good though, just a couple small changes. GP 1/1.
