[SET COMMENTS]
Snubbull fills a valuable role in Little Cup as a reliable Fighting- and Dark-type check through the combination of its pure Fairy typing and ability in Intimidate, allowing it to check common offensive threats such as Mienfoo, Timburr, and Vullaby. Psychic Fangs allows Snubbull to hit Poison-types like Gastly and Foongus that otherwise wall it. Thunder Wave is a useful tool to hinder opponents, potentially giving Snubbull and its teammates free turns. Thief is a good option for Snubbull in the case that it loses its Eviolite, which happens in nearly every game due to its defensive profile. Earthquake is an option over Thief to hit Steel-types like Pawniard and Tinkatink, as well as OHKOing Hisuian Growlithe. Temper Flare is worth mentioning as well, as it lets Snubbull hit Steel-types and Foongus in one moveslot. The given EV spread allows Snubbull to effectively check the physical attackers it is tasked with taking on while ensuring it still has good power behind its attacks. Snubbull can Terastallize into the Steel typing to cover its weaknesses to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, additionally letting it both resist Vullaby's Brave Bird if Snubbull gets weakened enough for Brave Bird to otherwise KO and survive Snivy's Leaf Storm if it needs to. However, this has the disadvantage of making Snubbull weak to Mienfoo's High Jump Kick, as well as other powerful moves like Mudbray and Trapinch's Earthquake and Hisuian Growlithe's Flare Blitz.

Beneficiaries of Snubbull include Stunky, which struggles into the Fighting-types that Snubbull can easily switch into. Mienfoo enjoys Snubbull checking Vullaby, as Vullaby can come in on all of Mienfoo's attacks and threaten teams with its powerful Brave Bird and Knock Off. Snubbull is a decent partner for Pawniard, as Snubbull can switch into Mienfoo's High Jump Kick for Pawniard. Slow, strong Pokemon like Mudbray and Timburr appreciate Snubbull using Thunder Wave to slow down opposing Pokemon, letting them outspeed Pokemon that are usually faster. Snubbull itself is threatened by Poison-types such as Foongus and Gastly, with Foongus being able to tank more than one Psychic Fangs and threaten Snubbull with either Sludge Bomb or Spore, while Gastly can threaten an OHKO with Sludge Bomb. Gothita can cover Foongus by trapping it with Shadow Tag, while Stunky can handle Gastly with its natural typing and Knock Off but should be wary of Will-O-Wisp.

Snubbull provides a valuable role in the Little Cup metagame through the combination of its unique pure Fairy typing (once of the bigger niches of it imo, meaning it resists Fighting and doesn't have to deal with EQ like Tink) and ability Intimidate to act as a reliable Fighting- and Dark-type check, allowing it to check common offensive threats such as Mienfoo, Timburr, and Vullaby. Psychic Fangs allows Snubbull to hit Poison-types like Gastly or Foongus that otherwise wall it, while Earthquake can be used to hit Steel-types like Pawniard or Tinkatink. Thief is an option over Earthquake to steal an opponents item if Snubbull loses its own Eviolite while switching in on the Pokemon it checks. (Mention Thief first since its slashed first.) Thunder Wave is a useful tool to hinder opponents, potentially giving free turns for Snubbull and its teammates to take advantage of. (Move this to before the Thief line, its slashed before it.) The given EV spread allows for Snubbull to most effectively switch into the physical attackers that it's meant to check. (Not rly, you would be +Def nature if so, just say it makes Snubbull as strong as possible while still being a decent switchin.) Snubbull can Terastallize Terastalize into the Steel type to cover its weakness to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, giving it the ability to attack or use Thunder Wave. However, this has the disadvantage of making Snubbull weak to Mienfoo's High Jump Kick (mention how you also have a really shitty weakness to stuff like Mudbray / Inch / Growl-H now, too.).

Beneficiaries of Snubbull include Snivy, who appreciates Snubbull's ability to check Vullaby, which otherwise limits Snivy's ability to start sweeping with Leaf Storm. Mienfoo also enjoys Snubbull checking Vullaby, as Vullaby can come in on all of Mienfoo's attacks and threaten teams with its powerful Brave Bird or Knock Off. Snubbull is a decent partner for Pawniard, which is scared out by Mienfoo's High Jump Kick, which Snubbull can switch in on. Snubbull itself is threatened by Poison-types such as Gastly or Foongus, with Gastly able to threaten an OHKO with Sludge Bomb and Foongus being able to tank more than one Psychic Fangs and threaten a Sludge Bomb or Spore. Gothita can cover Foongus by trapping it with Shadow Tag, while Stunky can handle Gastly with its natural typing and Knock Off, but should be weary of Will-O-Wisp. (Combine these two sentences together; also metnion how Goth beats Foongus AND Non-Choice Scarf Versions of Gastly.)

Snubbull can Terastallize into the Steel type to cover its weakness to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, giving it the ability to attack or use Thunder Wave. (i think the best thing about tera steel on snubbull is that if you are in range of vullabys brave bird, you can tera to no longer die to it. if you want to keep it as is tho i think its fine)However, this has the disadvantage of making Snubbull weak to Mienfoo's High Jump Kick, as well as other powerful moves like Mudbray and Trapinch's Earthquakes and Hisuian Growlithe's Flare Blitz.

Beneficiaries of Snubbull include Snivy, who appreciates Snubbull's ability to check Vullaby, which otherwise limits Snivy's ability to start sweeping with Leaf Storm. (i dont think this is really true, vullaby is a flunky at best snivy check since it can get glared, and with rocks up leaf storm into tera blast kills normal vullaby, would probably mention stunky here as your poison type wouldnt be a very good fighting type switchin) Mienfoo also enjoys Snubbull checking Vullaby, as Vullaby can come in on all of Mienfoo's attacks and threaten teams with its powerful Brave Bird or Knock Off.
