Strategy Overview
Tsareena's an incredible spinner and matches up well against common Stealth Rock setters like Mudsdale and Diancie. In addition, it's very effective at forcing in Talonflame and removing its Heavy-Duty Boots and a great pivot that synergizes with some of NU's best wallbreakers because of the Pokemon it draws in. Despite offering so much role compression, though, Tsareena faces heavy competition from Rotom-C, a Pokemon that fills many of the same roles as it but with more efficiency and defensive utility. Many teams opt for Choice Scarf Rotom-C as their entry hazard remover because it can double as a revenge killer too, and Tsareena lacking that function makes building with it awkward at times. Also, Tsareena can't make very good use of its resistances because Pokemon it'd otherwise switch into well, like Silvally-Ground and Starmie, simply outspeed and heavily damage or KO it the following turn with their coverage.
