I picked a pokemon I needed to survive against. So I went into the damage calculator and invested enough EVs so that the max damage I would take would be 99% from the Blood Moon - guaranteeing I survive.
thanks for the video man, can’t stop binge watching them lol idk how it’d work or if it’s even feasible for a whole youtube video just about this subject but would you mind someday maybe doing a video explaining how to properly review our replays?
do you think we could get a video that explains about how to pick your pokemon when you're choosing your 4? right now im choosing just based on what I know are good leads and stuff. As a new player it'd really help a ton. Your vids have been super helpful, keep it up!
Something like this is part of an overall teambuilding guide - coming soon! The idea is once you have the core to the team, after that you're picking options that can cover the rest of the popular common archetypes and picks or also cover the cores weaknesses
@@CloverBells oh sorry, I meant when you're in a battle looking against the opponent's team lineup and you need to figure out what pokemon you want to bring. But a teambuilding guide would also be super useful!
So I have a question on how you would handle eving a mon in a vacuum. Were going to assume your using rilla for terrain and you also have gambit that you plan on setting up with swords dance. You can give the gambit a spread like: 132 hp, 196+ atk, 4 def, 172 sp def, 4 speed (i know its not perfect as far as speed goes, but bear with me) Or you can have a spread like: 252 hp, 196+ atk, 4 def, 52 sp def, 4 speed. In your opinion is going for the optimal grassy terrain recovery worth losing the generalized bulk that you get with full hp investment. Especially since full hp puts you at an odd # for maus superfang. Again I get the speed stat I used in my example isn't a good one, but thats beside the point. Put another way: do you value terrain recovery and boosting your lower defense stat up more or less then general bulk that lets you lean really heavily into one type of defensive profile? If thats beyond the scope of a youtube question I understand. Just wanted your thoughts
In this you can just do the 252 hp 196 att - I've used that before. Spdef is very good and you can live the blood moon EP with AV so there's still value in the first spread. You have to have a reason for the spread you choose. No right or wrong answer just depends on what the player values more
Its defensive capabilities combined with a spread grass type move that has 30% chance to burn is absolutely huge as a defensive piece that you cant just ignore
What's the merit in running timid pelipper when it's still so slow? My personal preference is a bulky set with tera ground and covert cloak, and only enough speed to outrun TF in tailwind, though you're often forced to tera vs arch mirrors
The same as any pokemon with a sash vs. without it. You can do that, sure! The mirrors are important and a sash is also key in taking that one big hit and still surviving. The tailwind will let you outspeed everything needed and more. If you look at the data from the recent 450+ person tour, the focus sash was used on 89% of total pelippers - the most common item! And it makes sense. labmaus.net/tournaments/2533
I took a break from ranked after season 10. All those genies, paradox and especially uber mons made stuff boring for me. Im so excited to get back into things! I wish they just had 2 or 3 regularions available at all time. Pokemon Go has multiple fornats at a time, i think thats something the main series could do well with.
@flippo1914 thats a team I made and a team many requested. When I did the sand video a few weeks ago this was 1 of the 6 and I asked people to DM me if they wanted it.
Is there a reason people tera water their sinistcha when poison seems the better choice, its a poison immunity as well makes its only weakness ground and psychic which are its direct type advantages. Those types aren’t even that common being the plethora of ghost/dark and water types present.
The fire weakness is the main one. And water resists the gholdengo make it rain and you can neutralize the dark, ghost and flying weakness. It's always a popular defensive typing overall.
@@CloverBells all of those are the same for Tera Poison tho….poison is not weak to fire and also neutralizes its weakness of dark, ghost and flying. And gholdengo is not strong against poison as it doesn’t run ground or psychic moves. It runs steel and ghost. So im not sure what difference you are trying to reference.

Thanks for watching, all! What do you think of Sinistcha this format? What have you used with it? Let me know in the comments!
Love the vid!! Btw can u teach me how i would ev train the sinischa with the 26:02 evs mentioned im hella confused on how to do this type of ev spread
I picked a pokemon I needed to survive against. So I went into the damage calculator and invested enough EVs so that the max damage I would take would be 99% from the Blood Moon - guaranteeing I survive.
Also watch my video "How to Optimize EV spreads" it'll show you how I do it step by step
I’ve been getting into VGC for the first time, your explanation of EV bumps is very helpful. Thanks for the great consistent content!
glad we could help!
I was wondering about sinistcha on sand teams. Swap in ghost/grass to fighting or ground moves for Ttar
You'll like tomorrow's video then. Stay tuned.
thanks for the video man, can’t stop binge watching them lol
idk how it’d work or if it’s even feasible for a whole youtube video just about this subject but would you mind someday maybe doing a video explaining how to properly review our replays?
It is possible and I'll consider it
been watching your videos, helping me get used to VGC after not playing pokemon for years. you planning on making an annihilape team video?
or does this count as the annihilape video haha
look back a few weeks - I did that right when the format started

@@totalishnc ah that - few rules to follow. I understand. We'll consider it for September
Sinistcha is godly when other players play it but bad when I play it
Just need to know how to use it!
I‘m in the same boat 😂
@@Wahlsocken more practice and understanding how to position it!

@@CloverBells Fair enough.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Its defensive capabilities combined with a spread grass type move that has 30% chance to burn is absolutely huge as a defensive piece that you cant just ignore
yup!
this is such a good mon this time around!
yes!!
sinistacha feels like such a good mon but the meta feels filled with dark types
That's okay. Sinistcha still manages
Actually a tera Fairy Sinistcha did Top4 in the big 400 dollars tournament with Kommo-O
@@giovanninisi7875 that's a common tera
What is the 6 mons in bottom side of the screen?
It's a popular team that I made that was covered in our Tyranitar video!
Is it worth it for Arch to outspeed max speed BMoon or is it not common enough to matter? Cheers for another great vid
it is because there's teams with whimsicott and typhlosion and with those 2 is the blood moon and those blood moons are max timid 252
Psych up sinistcha is something that should be explored👀 especially next to arch or Kommo
I think that's very nice. You want the redirection, trick room, matcha gatcha, and a healing move. No room.
What's the merit in running timid pelipper when it's still so slow?
My personal preference is a bulky set with tera ground and covert cloak, and only enough speed to outrun TF in tailwind, though you're often forced to tera vs arch mirrors

The video title is a little funny. All other pokemon in reg H are bad hosts and are rude to guests. Only sinistcha has unmatched hospitality.
That's why I did it 😎

The legendaries return again January 5th! You have 4 months haha
We getting a sand team preview I see
Stay tuned 😎
@@CloverBellsplease
@TheOldport I mean we already made a sand team a few videos back but this next one will have the sinistcha
@@CloverBells looks like a cool team under the video lol. Sand plus volcarona, kommo-o and gyarados or are those just random pokemon on there
@flippo1914 thats a team I made and a team many requested. When I did the sand video a few weeks ago this was 1 of the 6 and I asked people to DM me if they wanted it.

@AstroEphemeris the psyspam weakness is too strong this format. You'll see less tera poison and the data shows that already
First. W vid
Thanks!
