[OVERVIEW]
Despite a good offensive typing, Litwick's niche comes in the form of being a defensive Trick Room setter. Thanks to Flame Body and Will-O-Wisp, it can spread burns to cripple important threats while also facilitating Trick Room sweeps with Memento. However, full Trick Room teams are not very viable in Little Cup, and Litwick faces competition in its slot with Pumpkaboo-XL

Trick Room and Memento allow Litwick to give a teammate important support in breaking the opposing team, while Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split can cripple opposing Pokemon and heal Litwick. However, Trick Room teams are constrained for team slots as is, and Litwick's utility is compromised by its weakness to Stealth Rock and Knock Off. Also, Pokemon that fill similar roles such as Pumpkaboo-XL can fit more easily onto Trick Room due to stronger bulk and better defensive typing.
