So I've decided to try out Little Cup. I built a team and I want to know what you guys think of it.
I started out with Aipom to lead. aipom
Ferroseed and Slowpoke cover each other's weaknesses and provide some bulk. aipom ferroseed slowpoke
Pawniard looked nice for an offensive teammate. aipom ferroseed slowpoke pawniard
Spoink seemed like a nice Dual Screener to support Pawniard. aipom ferroseed slowpoke pawniard spoink
To finish my team, I chose Mienfoo. aipom ferroseed slowpoke pawniard spoink mienfoo

Just two things:

1) I'd recommend using Eviolite instead of Leftovers on Slowpoke. From what I remember, Leftovers isn't really good on any Little Cup Pokemon. And if you can't get another Eviloite, I'm pretty sure Oran Berry is still better than Leftovers in LC.

2) I don't see why you're running Sucker Punch on Pawniard. You already have doubled Speed, priority isn't that necessary. Not to mention if you use it, your opponent gets free turns to set up entry hazards or buffs while you Sucker Punch/switch out.
 
1) Oh, Item Clause isn't in Little Cup? *fixed*

2) Okay, I'll switch to Night Slash because of those reasons and because I looked over it again and think it'd be kind of bad to be Choice-locked into Sucker Punch.

Thing is, in Little Cup the pokemon all have such low HP stats that leftovers only recovers 1HP a turn, making it fairly useless compared to Oran Berry, which restores generally from 1/3 to 2/3.
 
:P I'm stupid enough to think that item clause applies in LC. Because ferroseed had eviolite, I thought Slowpoke couldn't.
