Champions Archetype · Regulation M-C

Trick Room

Slow + bulky monsters in 5-turn speed inversion. Hatterene + Indeedee + Bronzong is the spine.

The build

Trick Room flips the speed tier. Slow attackers (Sinistcha, Hatterene, Slowking-Galar) wake up first. The 5-turn window is the entire match: get 1-2 KOs, swap to your Mega for cleanup before TR expires.

Signature Pokémon

Sinistcha TR setter + Strength Sap stall

Hatterene TR setter + Dazzling Gleam spread

Bronzong Levitate + slow Body Press

Slowking Galarian Slowking, Eerie Spell shuffle

Lead options

Hatterene + Indeedee for double TR insurance. Sinistcha + Garganacl for the stall variant.

Win condition

Trick Room up turn 1, KO 2-3 mons over the next 5 turns, swap before it expires.

Hard counters

Fast Taunt (Whimsicott Tailwind into Taunt) shuts down TR. Imprison or your own TR overwrites.
