Sinistcha

Sinistcha provides a secondary Trick Room setter and redirection support via Rage Powder, protecting Araquanid from targeted attacks. Hospitality restores HP to its partner on switch-in, pairing well with Sitrus Berry for multi-turn sustain. Modest nature with near-maxed Special Attack gives Matcha Gotcha meaningful damage output with an added burn chance to nerf physical attackers like Venusaur. Life Dew provides team-wide healing. As a Grass and Ghost type, Sinistcha resists Water-type moves, meaning Surf splash damage is irrelevant when pairing it with Araquanid.
