Best 5 Trick Room Setters in Pokémon Champions

If you favor building around slower, bulkier attackers in Pokémon Champions, Trick Room is one of the best ways to get move priority without sacrificing defensive stats. Here are five of the most effective Pokémon that can learn Trick Room in Champions and why you would choose each one.

Sinistcha

Sinistcha offers a unique blend of support and sustain alongside Trick Room.

• Strong defensive presence with access to healing and disruption moves like Life Dew and Matcha Gatcha
• Can stay on the field longer than most setters
• Great with teams that swap often, allowing Sinistcha to play at nearly any tempo

Hatterene

Hatterene is one of the most reliable Trick Room setters thanks to Magic Bounce.

• Reflects Taunt and status moves, making Trick Room easier to set
• Strong Special Attack allows it to also threaten offensively with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam
• Works well with slow special attackers or mixed teams

Reuniclus

Reuniclus is a classic Trick Room setter with excellent bulk.
