Wall of text crits you for 9001.
If any of you have been playing Little Cup recently, you'll realise that once you face 1700+ players, you will lose if you don't run at least two of the following pokemon on your team:
Mienfoo
Murkrow
Misdreavus
The triple M's, the pokes who will increase your player rating no matter how well synergised your team is. Need some revenge killing? Ditch your scarfer and scarf those three. Need some bulky attackers? You better run those M's bro. Spread some statuses? Well now, Murkrow has a handy thing called Prankster and T-Wave and Misdreavus has Skill'O'Wisp. You get the picture.
It's reached the point of ban-worthiness, also known as Over-Centralization. It gets worse with the fact that these 3 synergise so well, and pokes like Chinchou patch up electric and flying weakness, and you end up seeing them all the time too.
I can't seem to find a reason why these guys are still around, it's breaking the tier. There's no point running anything else, because the three M's ARE the metagame. Bring some variety, PLEASE. I'm tired of my team getting run over by these 3 dudes.
Of course, some people can build teams to handle these threats, should they foolishly choose not to run them in their own team. But then we come to the issue, where you have no choice but to run a specific team to handle these guys, leaving little to no room for diversity.
I'm not as experienced as many Little Cup players out there, but I've played enough games to see that these M's are too good for Little Cup. I hope you guys can agree with me, and get some Suspect Testing going to bring a breath of fresh air to this once lovely metagame. Thank you if you read this far.
P.S. Drillbur + Sandstorm is also kinda over-centralizing, but I don't see it as often, maybe it needs a look too, but I'm not sure.
