Im sorry if it’s difficult to encipher due to the German names, does anyone know better ev spreads/moves/items/etc. for these Pokémon or just flat-out better options.✌️
I see u are a fellow araquanid admirerer
I would say you should replace gliscor, it's not doable until they release toxic orb
As for the rest I don't even understand what move they have 🥀
Tho you should kind of even out the EVs on sinistcha, it doesn't require that high defence when your main threats are sp atkers
Go for like 22 sp def and the rest on def, it still has pretty high defense that way + you get smth against the sp atkers
I do not think that araquanid needs a bug move given how useless they are rn
So you can give it surf
That's a special move
Ye
His spider is literally physical atker
I use surf araquanid
It don't rly matter, both get doubled
It does matter dude, just because it gets doubled doesn't change the fact it has low spa
Also he's running a adamant nature
Might have made sense if he was running a sp atker spider but surf is definitely a no for him
He could make it +atk -spe and it aint like lunge gonna be useful
Or whatever bug move that is
Moves:
EQ/Wingbeat/tailwind/protect
matcha/shadowball/TR/ragepowder
fake out/protect/CC/direclaw
flamethrower/discharge/thunderbolt/protect
suckerpunch/kowtow/ironhead/protect
liquidation/leech life/wideguard/protect
It synergies with eelektross pretty well like I don’t think there’s another eq tailwind user rn
And like hyper cutter and sash are pretty decent but I see what you mean
Im definitely gonna try out surf I don’t use leech life much
What are your EVs optimised for on araq? I might try them out
I’ve also thought about soak or stockpile but that’s pretty niche too
Sinistcha I prefer 32 HP / 17 def / sp def
Rest all in spdef?
And still bold?
Yeah lol
Or modest
