Did few tries with Ghost Shark instead and as fas as i can tell t the only RNG here is second Ghostly Bite missing due to Sandstorm. But i guess depending on breeds and if enemies will highroll their attacks few times there might be some incosistancy.		2	3.7	0	109 1:49	17
8		Valinrista#2543	Tried ~10 times and got 70ish% success rate despite my Inland Croaker being Uncommon (green), although there is still a possibility of terrible RNG because of Sandstorm giving you a 10% chance of missing, unfortunately I can't think of a way to mitigate that at the minute. Missing against Anubisath Idol is almost a guaranteed reset as they'll have time to use a second Sandstorm, however they could miss too and end up in a winnable but slightly different scenario. If Hermit Crab dies at the same time as Anubisath Idol because both you and it missedsimply use Ice Lance to break Decoy and then proceed as normal with Call Blizzard. Your Chitterspine Skitterling will probably end up taking extra damage as everything will be slightly out of sync but it should be fine, mine survived this scenario despite being an SS breed. I have not tested with alternate pets but others with similar spells should do fine in theory, the most important being quicker than Anubisath Idol.I didn't make a TD Script for this, as I would suggest against doing this fight repeatedly with a Water-only team and because Sandstorm can, in case of bad RNG cause some fluctuations, still perfectly winnable most of the time but will require thinking on the go as explained above.

hard to restart once due to Blizzard missing, but even with missing a pinch around turn 13 it worked great

There is some inherent RNG at play here due to the accuracy reduction of sandstorm and the damage ranges on Crush. That being said this stategy is still pretty reliable and I was able to replicate it with good results more often than not. I have not tested it with other breeds so it's possible that it works with other variations.
