I don't play competitively, but I wonder how Fairy-type Ponyta will impact Little Cup.

Regular Ponyta has a base stat total of 410 (50 HP, 85 Atk, 55 DEF, 65 Sp. Atk, 65 Sp. Def, 90 Speed.) & is described by Smogon with "Ponyta is an extremely potent and versatile threat".
No Little Cup Legal Pokemon has a higher BST; The next closest, in ascending order, Sneasel, Tangela, & Misdreavus are banned. In descending order, it's Archen, then Porygon & Munchlax, who are of dubious quality.
The difference with Ponyta is its Fire-type makes it hindered hard by Stealth Rock, & so scared of Diglett it runs Flame Charge just so it can outspeed Diglett, even though it has Flare Blitz.
Also, it's kinda frail, due to needing to run Flare Blitz &/or Wild Charge, for tons of recoil.
Fairy-type Ponyta would have an immunity without Flash Fire, would care a lot less about Stealth Rock & Diglett, & if Galarian forms are anything like Alolan forms, will probably have a similar BST.
Plus, its weaknesses are fewer, & to worse offensive types. (Although, Fairy doesn't hit as much SE as Fire.)
On the downside, Galarian Ponyta may lack Morning Sun (Egg Move) & definitely won't have Flame Body. Also unclear if it'll have great physical options like High Horsepower, etc.
Still, I'm expecting Galarian Ponyta to be a terror on LC's metagame.
