This is skipping QC because I'm already an established hoppip expert.
[OVERVIEW]
Though it has an interesting typing and movepool, Hoppip's stats are far too low for it to have any sort of competitive niche. Its awful Attack and average Speed stats cause it to be unable to seriously threaten the opponent with its offensive movepool, while its poor bulk negates any defensive advantages its typing might offer. As a result, Hoppip is not worth including on a competitive team.
[SET]
name: Offensive Support
move 1: Sleep Powder
move 2: Acrobatics
move 3: Bullet Seed
move 4: U-turn / Swords Dance / Substitute
item: Berry Juice
ability: Infiltrator
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 76 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Hoppip's best bet would be a combination of Sleep Powder, U-turn, and decent offensive STAB moves to gain momentum against slow and heavily weakened teams. Hoppip is difficult to get into play due to its weaknesses and frailty, and its attacks are too weak to threaten a well-built team, so this is not worth the effort.
