personally i think life dew is quite important on sinistcha for set up like cm floette, but please get rid of wish on floette and use draining kiss instead

i havent played falinks yet, but I do think rockslide is better than throat chop on it
What abiut the other mins what do u think
i think investing into a pokemons bulk, just to use focus sash is not optimal
i would prefer max speed max spA pelipper
this is my sinistcha set, its better for my team, since lots of my weaknesses are special, but I dont think its optimal yet, I'll probably change it a little, i like your set, but like I said, I'm very sure that you'll like life dew, you can also use keep trickroom and replace it for protect

bascu looks great
archaludon is a little weird
110 speed
try using 112 speed
and a little less spA
So the synergy is good I just have to change the stats??
I would invest a little more into its SpD or Hp, but honestly, I never tried max def sinistcha
im not sure how good it is
but for archaludon

this is a almost perfect ev spread for archaludon
its calculated for alot of things
earthpower, close combat, moonblast, draco meteor and with 1-2 electro shots it ohkos pretty much anything it hits for super effective
with stamina, leftovers, hospitality and life dew it can really build up alot of pressure
I also think you would love using wide guard
I probably know how you feel about wide guard, but its amazing to keep your team alive, rockslide, earthquake, water spout, heat wave, eruption, hypervoice, dazzling gleam
all those moves wont hit you
for peli
Got it but what do you think about the synergy
sinistcha has amazing synergy with floette and archaludon
also decent synergy with falinks
pelipper is nice, with tailwind and wide guard it can support in a great way
bascu is nice, also profits of the rain
I want you to know that balance archetype is one of the hardest archetypes when it comes to piloting, so don't expect to instantly hit champions rank with it
It requires pretty good skill and next to be optimized over and over again
For example lets say your rotom wash keeps on dying against solarbeam chari Y
its either bad positioning, or you actually play it well, but the opponent is better, than you could think of using choice scarf rotom wash with electro web and trick for better way to disrupt your opponent and gain fast control over the field
I think i just need to learn how to know what i am doing most of the time
I'm pretty sure that you'll get there
Just keep on training and you should learn how to play against certain matchups and win those with ease
What is the main goal?
