SINISTCHAPokémon Champions VGC matchups
With your Pokémon, how much do you win when the opponent brings X? It comes from the real pairings of every round, not from simulations.
Teams with Sinistcha win 51.1% of 7,528 rounds. Here's how that changes depending on what the opponent brings:
Worst (red) and best (blue) matchups
Teams with Sinistcha win 51.1% of their 7,528 rounds. The chart shows how far that number moves depending on what the opponent brings: on the right and in blue, the opponents you beat more than usual; on the left and in red, the ones that give you trouble. The worst thing you can face is Araquanid: you win 33.3% over 60 rounds there, 17.8 points below your average. The best, Sceptile (Mega), at 75.6% (24.5 points above). How to use it: prepare your team for the ones on the left, with a Pokémon that stops them or a Tera that breaks their plan. And be careful with very long bars that have few games behind them, because they're usually chance rather than a bad matchup.
