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.
