PvE Analysis

Sinistea (Antique) PvE Analysis

Close

On appraisal, your Team Leader will tell you whether the Sinistea you caught is the Phony or Authentic Form. It’s literally a cup of tea ☕ filled with a ghost 👻. Hilarious! 😂 Low ATK, lower HP, and even lower DEF… this tea is not brewed for PvE, Trainers! 😅

⚔️ Raids

The Ghost-type meta has plenty of high DPS options, and Sinistea doesn’t make the cut. 👎

🛡️ Gyms

Gym attackers in Pokémon GO need some (sinis)tea to refresh themselves. Sinistea can fill that role! 😁

PvP Analysis

Sinistea (Antique) PvP Analysis

Close

Sinistea has a pretty cool PvP moveset with the STAB pair of Astonish and Shadow Ball, combined with Dark Pulse, posing a massive threat to a good section of the Little Cup meta! 👻

It's particularly an amazing lead, tearing down opponents with Shadow Claw and its impressive ATK. However, its DEF is bad, and that sort of breaks its potential in this cup. 💔 Still, a useful Pokémon overall! 🙌

🔵 Great League

Sinistea maxes out at only 1287 CP, far below the 1500 mark. As such, it’s too fragile to advance in battles. 🫤

🟡 Ultra League

Ultra League is NOT Sinistea’s cup of tea. 😅

🟣 Master League

Master League is NEVER Sinistea’s cup of tea. 😅😅
