C.Ezra.M mentioned on the SIT Crobat page that Crobat’s Critical Bite attack pairs well with PAR Tsareena ex’s Icicle Sole attack. While Tsareena ex’s initial reveal alongside PAR Vanilluxe (https://web.archive.org/web/20231106222657/https://www.pokebeach.com/2023/10/new-pokemon-ex-and-more-illustration-rares-revealed-from-ancient-roar-and-future-flash) suggests that the two cards were designed to work together, players have also tested Tsareena ex with SIT Hisuian Braviary and the aforementioned Crobat, both of which allow you to take Knockouts on multiple Pokémon (including benched Pokémon) later. While this strategy has merit, I was most interested in Justinbasil’s take on this strategy, which used PAR Brute Bonnet and PAR Ancient Booster Energy Capsule to poison your opponent’s Active Pokémon, and LOR Radiant Hisuian Sneasler to increase poison damage by 20,, turning your Icicle Sole attacks into one-hit-KOs on your opponent’s active Pokémon. You can read about the strategy here (https://web.archive.org/web/20231106223021/https://www.justinbasil.com/new-decks/sv4).

Imo, tsarena+braviary is the best build because it’s the easiest and most consistent to pull off. Crobat has a big payoff but having to run 2 stage 2 + reversal energy without bricking and/or getting interrupted is hard. The poison build isn’t bad, but I feel that at that point it’s easier to just play Alolan Raticate or OBF Claydol with the same strategy.
