Sinistcha is the most physically defensive Ground-resistant Pokemon Ghost teams have access to, which is useful for dealing with Excadrill and Mega Swampert. It also pressures Grass-neutral Pokemon like Clodsire and Toxapex on Water and Ground teams with ease. Matcha Gotcha improves Sinistcha's longevity and lets it fish for burns against the aforementioned Pokemon neutral to Grass as well as common switch-ins like Celesteela and Alolan Muk. Substitute lets Sinistcha avoid status from Toxapex and gives it more turns to threaten a burn on would-be checks like Iron Hands and Mega Lopunny and chip down answers like Choice Specs Zapdos. Shadow Ball is usually preferred for its consistent damage output without relying on burns, but Hex lets Sinistcha further pressure opposing threats after they are burned. 96 Speed EVs let Sinistcha outspeed Adamant Azumarill, while the remaining EVs are poured into maximizing its bulk to weather Choice Band Excadrill, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Swampert better. Physical setup sweepers like Mimikyu and Ceruledge form a decent wallbreaking core with Sinistcha, dealing with special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk, while Sinistcha obliterates physical walls like Hippowdon and Great Tusk. Gholdengo loves Sinistcha's ability to remove Ground-types and in turn is able to wear down or remove Alolan Muk and Mantine, deal with prominent Knock Off users like Meowscarada if using a Z-Crystal, and take on Flying-types like Mega Aerodactyl and Articuno for it. Mega Sableye also absorbs Knock Off and can wear down opposing teams for Sinistcha with its ability to spread status and remove items.

Physical setup sweepers like Mimikyu and Ceruledge form a decent wallbreaking core with Sinistcha, dealing and deal (rc, changed for parallelism) with special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk while Sinistcha obliterates physical walls like Hippowdon and Great Tusk. Gholdengo loves Sinistcha's ability to remove Ground-types (rc) and in turn is able to wears down or removes Alolan Muk and Mantine, deals with prominent Knock Off users like Meowscarada if using a Z-crystal, and takes on Flying-types like Mega Aerodactyl and Articuno for it.

Sinistcha is the most physically defensive Ground-type resist Ground-resistant Pokemon Ghost teams have access to that is able to deal with Water and Ground team's neutralities in Clodsire and Toxapex with ease. (This sentence doesn't really make sense - I'm not sure what you mean by Ghost teams needing to have access to something that beats Pokeon neutral to Grass? Unless you mean Pex/Clod's Ghost neutralities are relevant on those teams, which doesn't really make sense because multiple Pokemon would be neutral to Ghost there. It woud be good to change this into two sentences for the two ideas here 'physically defensive Ground-resistant Pokemon' 'it can pressure Ground and Water teams including Pex/Clod that are neutral to Grass'. Lmk what you change thos to and I'll read over) Matcha Gotcha improves Sinistcha's longevity and lets it fish for burns against the aforementioned neutralities Pokemon neutral to Grass as well as common swap-ins switch-ins like Celesteela and Alolan Muk.
