Mega Gengar / Mega Froslass Perish Trap Rain

Synergy

Mega Gengar and Politoed form the core Perish Trap duo: Shadow Tag traps opponents while both carry Perish Song, buying turns to KO or force faints. Mega Froslass provides speed control and weather flexibility via Aurora Veil and Rain Dance, enabling a quick pivot out of snow into rain. Sinistcha extends Perish Song turns with Rage Powder redirection and Hospitality healing, while Archaludon and Incineroar provide offensive and pivot support across multiple matchups.

Win Conditions

Activate Perish Song through Mega Gengar or Politoed while Shadow Tag traps opponents. Use Sinistcha's Rage Powder to redirect attacks away from the Perish Song users and stall out the countdown. Mega Froslass cleans up with Blizzard when opponents are weakened or low on roster depth.
