Saichan (FFC)

Overview
The best vivosaur in the game, hands down. Saichan's multitude of options allows it to thrive in any situation, with any set of teammates. Saichan has two top tier moves (Saichan Combo, Rallying Cry) that allow it to disrupt literally anything while having the ability to defend against status spam itself. On top of that, it has an above average team skill that is extremely possible to access (it’s compatible with all of the top 5 excluding Krypto), and no overwhelmingly bad or costly options. Although they're negligible, Saichan's support and Auto Counter are nice bonuses.

General Gameplan (Early Game)
Spam confuse on the most threatening vivosaur your opponent has. Don’t go for any risks, such as trying to confuse the vivo with the highest FP costs, because it could backfire (Too confused to act!). Confuse always forces an RC, which means it's great at reducing the other team's effectiveness. You might be going for the same vivo over and over again, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Keep spamming confuse and you’ll be golden.

Midgame/Endgame
Same gameplan here. Confuse is excellent during any phase of play, so keep hitting Saichan Combo. This should almost always guarantee a win during 2v1 situations. If it’s a 1v1 situation, alternate between Saichan Combo (not confused) > Fire Spear (confused 1) > Saichan Combo (not confused) for maximum damage. Always keep your opponent confused when Saichan is on the field.

Optimal Teammates/Strategies
Saichan pairs extremely well with Zanth to form the most potent anti-offense core in the game. Zanth covers the AZ with its support while Saichan rails the SZ with Saichan Combo to force all parts of the battlefield to do unoptimal amounts of damage to them. With either Heracles or Nigo in the third slot, Saichan gets access to its team skill. Heracles is the better option for abusing it since its support allows Saichan to use it to much greater effect, although this comes at the cost of double RC.

Saichan also goes well with Dacerus and Nigo to form a top-level triple RC team. Since every vivosaur has RC, this team can take advantage of every vivo’s strengths at any time, meaning it’s possible for Saichan to spam confuse while the team wards off against status. This team also has a strong synergy in midgame and endgame due to all of them having good status moves. Saichan’s ability to confuse for cheap works wonders for dominating the field with status and essentially allows the team to win for free, either by extreme damage output (Saichan/Dacerus) or paralyzing the opponent (Saichan/Nigo).

Winning/Losing Matchups
Saichan wins solidly against every vivo in 3v3 thanks to Saichan Combo. In 1v1 cases, Saichan will possibly lose to Nigo, Heracles, and Ankylo, the former due to sleep + its LP being higher during endgame, and the latter two being due to their elemental advantage.
