The size of a Pokémon doesn’t dictate its combat effectiveness. Tiny creatures like Cosmoem, Marshadow, Pikachu, Axew, and even Ditto rank among the strongest fighters available, embodying the theme that smaller doesn’t mean weaker. The Small Yet Strong event is here to celebrate this unique juxtaposition.
