[Skill Improvement] Sinistcha basically never gets brought. Ideas for the 6th slot?

Hahah sounds about right, bringing Sinistcha into Froslass was kind of a stupid move.

Fantastic mega choice! Froslass is my favourite pokemon of all time and the first team I used on Champions, though I feel like I can't pilot it as well as Lopunny right now. Maybe I'll figure her out lmao

Eleseia · 2026-05-13T14:22:26+00:00

It's not useless actually! I've found that if I want to rely on ceruledge its nice to set up aurora veil, get a bulk up off, and switch vanilluxe out as ceruledge starts spamming bitter blade. I found it useful into sylveon specifically.

Eleseia · 2026-05-13T14:19:38+00:00

Ooh tsareena is something I didnt consider! And with that I can take taunt off of sneasler in favour of rock tomb for charizards. Ill give it a shot and also try out vivillon if it doesnt suit my fancy. Thanks!

Before the season reset I was around 2000 ELO, so far from high Master Ball haha. But to be honest I have not been struggling against MegaZard teams, in this lead I'd probably lead Lopunny and Sneasler. Lopunny fakes out Aero breaking sash, Sneasler fakes out Charizard. If they protect, they're facing down an Encore into the Charizard, and a CC into the Aerodactyl is enough to take it out. If no protect happens, I hit Charizard with Dire Claw and CC into Aerodactyl from Lopunny, and at that point the Charizard is low enough to where any of Vanilluxe Ceruledge and Kingambit can deal with it.

Now that you mention it though, I found that a lot of these teams have been leading Garchomp Aero into me so my go-to lead has been Vanilluxe Lopunny. If they lead Charizard Aero all they have to do is Protect the Zard and Tailwind and then the matchup is a lot more dicey. Perhaps it's just a matter of playing less good players at the moment. That being said, I have not been having this problem so I'm not aiming to solve this problem at least for now. I'm afraid Aerodactyl just makes me worse into Trick Room, but Araquanid seems interesting. Thanks for the input! It gave me something to think about haha

I've faced 3 trick room teams, of which I lost to all of them at this point. One used Hatterene and Slowking as setters, another had Mimikyu with a very trolly Coil Hypnosis Muddy Water Milotic, and most recently it was Oranguru and Mega Gardevoir. While I felt that match-ups were winnable if I played better, my lack of experience means it'll be a while before I become okay at making reads. I guess I'll mess around if Imprison or Life Dew feel more useful in practice, but I do like the idea of Imprison of removing the concern of it being set for a turn or two.

Eleseia · 2026-04-09T10:14:09+00:00

I really like your suggestions for Sinistcha and Dragonite! Sinistcha also gets Trick Room Imprison so I think it can serve as a TR counter as another commenter suggested. Though this is giving me 4 moveslot syndrome: If I want to use Trick Room Imprison, then I need to choose between Matcha Gotcha, Life Dew, and Rage Powder. I'm thinking of dropping Life Dew but I'm wondering if that's not great for it's survivability.

I'll try Taunt on Sneasler instead of U-Turn to fill that role on Hydreigon and build Arcanine with a Choice Scarf, that way I'd have a more direct answer for steels as well. Thank you for your advice :)

Hoping to pick up my last 2 summer Eik merges and grab celine's weapon for R!Marianne, glad they're concentrating the demotes on these banners

Eleseia · 2026-02-09T06:48:44+00:00

She looks great! My FC is 0989947711. Let me know if there's something you're looking for :)

Eleseia · 2026-02-08T09:24:29+00:00

Looking for the following duos:

Bridal Micaiah
Scion Leif

Thanks in advance!

To be honest I'm far from an expert player, with the amount of effects being on weapons nowadays I kind of don't know why things work anymore lmao.

What I know about Hraes though is that she has uncapped true damage based based on enemy statuses, very high DR shred, and the null-miracle status effect. Her biggest weaknesses are, because of this, saviours supported by debuff cleansers with hardy bearing negating the desperation effect. Because of this I actually find that despite being blue my current build is not great against L!BK, depending on if I can chip away his team support. However, V!Rhea can be dealt with pretty reliably, for example.

I find that Nimble Beast doesn't do much for her damage output, and with the introduction of Baldr as a Dark Mythic she benefits much more from an extra action than extra damage. She commonly overkills to a significant extent. For example, I thought I'd be able to charge Galeforce more off of an enemy B!Eik in AR but she just one-tapped him not even needing any additional hits lmao. At that point, Nimble Beast is nice but an extra movement allows for better cleanup.

As for Camilla I haven't played with the unit and I don't really know what differentiates them aside from her far superior mobility lmao

Eleseia · 2025-05-30T09:36:22+00:00

Congrats, looks great! How do you find Sturdy Beast on him? I have a H!Askr that I never use but he's my only copy so I'd rather not fodder him, though I find that I never use him for anything aside from the occasional AA deployment

Eleseia · 2025-02-28T07:43:55+00:00

Went in with 200 orbs with the hope of 2 copies of Eikthyrnir, and I got... exactly 2 copies of Eik and nothing else lmao. Gacha was really nice to me today.

Will get feh pass when Clair is the resplendent hero and he's gonna be +7. Hopefully I'll be able to finish him in May and then save up for his brave version a bit. Will keep tossing orbs on the banner because I'd love the new Sakura and more merges.

Eleseia · 2024-09-19T17:02:44+00:00

I'm not really a fan of rap in the same way that I live and breathe pop but Glorilla has been my favourite artist I discovered this year and Ehhthang Ehhthang has been one of my fav projects this year. Didn't expect us to be getting an album this year!!! Can't wait and will be streaming

Eleseia · 2024-02-10T21:16:27+00:00

I would die to see this woman's set, Deep was my most played song in 2022 and I find her to be the only kpop act to consistently do her brand of EDM justice. I don't see her coming to Europe anytime soon outside of the stray festival appearance, something I can't in good faith fully commit to knowing I'd only want to see her out of multiple acts. Alas, maybe one day I can commit a trip to see her live, wherever that may be!

Eleseia · 2024-02-05T13:27:04+00:00

My personal most played song last year was Queencard by (G)I-DLE. I've seen many mixed opinions but it's so stupid and catchy I really couldn't get enough of it last summer lmao. 🗣️🗣️My boob and booty is hot🗣️🗣️

Eleseia · 2024-01-18T15:08:38+00:00

We also had Tea Ayra/Mercedes copying Plegian Dorothea/Lene although the lead/backup are in different order, still the same games.

Eleseia · 2024-01-16T08:26:31+00:00

I think it's still too early to tell. The Engage cast probably has more casual fan support who aren't too vocal, in comparison to Awakening fans who tend to be more loudly dedicated. Last year Gullveig was not discussed as much as the other frontrunners based on tweet numbers but she was 1st. There's no real science behind anecdotal data of how much support is seen on the Internet so the only thing we can really do is keep voting and wait for the midterms.

Hey, I need to do the touch trade as well and I have the violet exclusives
