heres the stuff
i wanna know how you feel
- Sinistcha: make it bulky instead of fast/offensive
Run 32 HP / 32 Def / 2 SpD so it can actually set Trick Room and redirect safely. - Sinistcha: Life Dew → Protect
Hospitality already gives healing. Protect is more useful because Sinistcha gets targeted hard. - Replace Toxapex with Farigiraf
Toxapex is too passive. Farigiraf gives a second Trick Room setter, priority blocking, Helping Hand, and better team support. - Swampert: Earthquake → High Horsepower / Stomping Tantrum
Earthquake is awkward because most of the team hates taking its own spread damage. - Swampert: Knock Off → Ice Punch
Ice Punch gives better coverage into Garchomp, Dragonite, Flying/Grass types, and other Dragons. - Dragalge: remove Speed investment
It should be slow and bulky for Trick Room, not sitting in an awkward mid-speed range. - Dragalge: go 32 HP / 32 SpA / 2 SpD
This makes it a proper Trick Room special breaker. - Keep Archaludon mostly the same
Electro Shot in rain is strong, and it gives the team important special pressure. - Use Swampert as the main Mega most games
Politoed already enables it with rain, so Swampert should usually be the main win condition. - Use Dragalge only as the Trick Room Mega option
Bring Dragalge when the game looks slower or when Trick Room is clearly strong.
Is the sinistcha bulk likeee spl defence bulk or the regular one and for dragalge as well
