Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Sinistea is a ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 308 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 50) and a special attacking profile. Its Weak Armor ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Sinistea. Build around what Sinistea actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
