Natu @ EvioliteLevel: 5Ability: Magic BounceEVs: 196 HP / 156 Def / 36 SpA / 76 SpD / 36 SpeBold Nature- Psychic- Roost- Heat Wave- Thunder Wave
Defensive Natu. Simple.
The given EVs maximize HP for more mixed bulk and hit Eviolite numbers in Natu’s defensive stats, and the remaining EVs are put into Special Attack and Speed for slightly more offensive presence. A Bold nature increases Natu’s Defense, which helps it take hits. Magic Bounce is why Natu has a niche in Little Cup, preventing it from being hit with Taunt, or statused, as well as bouncing back entry hazards. Finally, Eviolite is the only item that should be considered on this set, as Natu needs the bulk.
As per Generekt’s suggestions, I will now answer my own question in the “Answers” section.As the only Magic Bouncer in LC, Natu can serve a unique niche as an anti-lead as well as a support mon.
Natu @ EvioliteAbility: Magic BounceModest Nature236 Def / 36 SpA / 236 SpD-Reflect-Light Screen-Giga Drain-Tailwind / Wish / Haze / (insert filler move here)
No rocks here, ahahaha! Reflect lets you take at least a couple of Rock Blasts, Light Screen is standard with Reflect, Giga Drain lets you hit Dwebble and Onix, two common leads, super effectively, and your choice of the last move.
I really do like Natu. He’s cool. Unfortunately, Xatu isn’t very good, so I haven’t used it very much. However, Little Cup provides a nice niche for my second favourite small birb. So here you go:
Natu @ Wide LensAbility: Magic BounceEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 HPNature: Modest / Timid- Psychic- Air Slash- Heat Wave- Giga Drain
First off, two of this Natu’s move aren’t perfectly accurate. I hate that. So that’s why the Wide Lens is there. Air Slash and Heat Wave are there themselves for a good STAB move with a flinch chance and for a good coverage move (it covers Pawniard, which is nice). Psychic is Natu’s best STAB Psychic option, so here it is. Giga Drain offers coverage for Rock types that resist Air Slash and can deal STAB super effective damage to the second best birb. Magic Bounce is Natu’s best ability, blocking annoyances like Toxic and other status moves. This is the third moveset I’ve made today, and I’m too tired to be bothered to explain the EVs and nature. I hope you understand.
I liek Birdz

Grass KnotIs for Onix, And somehow, the Rock Snake Is speed tied. You could also useTimidIf you feel lucky and get thatGrass KnotOff.Light ScreenIs obvious forAbra, becauseAbrahas Type Coverage Moves, You really need Light Screen If you want to counter the King of LC, With theSpDMaxed out and a Bonus for Eviolite, There’s a chance that you would survive an Abra Shadow Ball.TeleportIs a switching move with Negative Priority which Is good for aDefensive Pokemon.WishBecause Why Not.
