Little Cup

The Little Cup is one of Pokémon Stadium 2's four Stadium Cups. It was introduced for players to compete with newly-hatched baby Pokémon.

The rules of this cup are quite simple: all Pokémon must be at level 5, without exception. Just as well, Pokémon must be of the lowest stage in their evolutionary line and must evolve as well, at least during Generation II. For example, Tangela, which evolves into Tangrowth in Generation IV, cannot be entered because it was the only Pokémon in its evolutionary line at the time. Marill, however, can be entered, as Azurill was not introduced until Generation III.

There are also restrictions on moves. If a Pokémon uses Dragon Rage or SonicBoom, it will have no effect, as these moves are set-damage moves with their set damage above that of the HP of many Pokémon that are at level 5.

Though it is officially for Pokémon hatched from an egg, Pokémon caught in the wild can be entered as well. However, they follow the same restrictions as the others, and must not be evolved (meaning no Pikachu).

In Generation IV, this Cup returned in a basic sense in Pokémon Battle Revolution, though with rules updated for that generation.
