Little Cup Rules:
Pokémon: Players are allowed a team of up to 6 Pokémon that meet the following conditions:

*The Pokémon must have hatched from an egg.

*The Pokémon must be able to evolve.

*The Pokémon must be the earliest evolution stage obtainable.

*The Pokémon must be at Level 5.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Items and Moves:

Items: Pokémon in Little Cup are allowed to hold items, as in any Pokémon match. The "Item Clause" is not in effect in Little Cup, multiple teammates can hold the same item. The item Deepseatooth is banned.

Moves: Pokémon in Little Cup can use (nearly) any move available to them at Level 5; for non-genderless Pokémon this includes level up moves. Sonicboom and Dragon Rage are both banned moves.

OHKO Clause - Moves that score a guaranteed "One-hit-KO" on the opponent, such as Sheer Cold, Horn Drill, Guillotine, or Fissure, are banned.

Battle Mechanics:

Sleep Clause - Only one Pokémon can be put to sleep by an opponent at a time, per team.

Self-KO Clause - If an opponent uses Selfdestruct or Explosion with their last Pokémon, they lose the game regardless of the number of Pokémon remaining on the other team.

EVs: Contrary to some beliefs, it has been proven that even with a level 5 baby, any EV spread is possible on any Pokémon by way of the "Box trick". Thus, the standard in game maximum of 255 EVs per stat, 510 EVs total is the only limitation on EVs in Little Cup.
