Staraptor + Sinistcha Toxic Combo Idea
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member proposes a rain team built around Staraptor and Sinistcha using Psych Up to copy stacked buffs and healing. The thread explores adding Whimsicott for Charm boosts, Incineroar for Parting Shot support, counters like Haze or Perish Song, and plans to test the set on ladder to gauge viability and counterplay.

I started building a rain team with Staraptor then I realised Sinistcha gets psych up
The idea is buff up Staraptor then by time he needs to be healed by Sinistcha she can psych up and get the defence buffs..
Is it over kill to add whimsi for charm boosts?
Maybe incin for parting shot boosts to buff Sinistchas spatk 😂
Am I cooking here or we over cooked now??
Any other options im not thinking of??
Im thinking once sini comes in and copies staraptors buffs 90% of players will ff 😂😂
I have played against something like this bfore
Was freaking evil
Thats what im thinking with a +5 in both defences and healing nothing should kill it if played right
Could you take it down?
At the time my mane solution to staraptor was perish song so no
Nice
Now I use encore disable shi so maybe but if you run into a haze user you might be cooked
Imma build it and test it.. if i can get the buffs pretty easy i may go full hp full spatk
Yeah haze would suck.. havent seen alot of haze but I dont run staraptor much either
I rly like haze and clear smog but this aint the format for it
Need more pokemon for it to be easy to run
Thats the plan at first
I could change whimsi to someone else but like parting shot incin that would boost both the attacks then
Nasty Plot works or espathra and baton pass into whims
Get speed and spatk
I just dont want tr countering my raptor hes already speedy
Oh yeah trueee
Good point
Maybe drop rage powder on sini for trick room coz once sini and raptor are on the field they can't switch out really without losing boosts.. okay imma build it now and take in on ladder and see what happens 😂
Ive cooked 😂😂
Yeah well raichu was why I wanted follow me ill try it first
