Champion Stadium

[silent nacelle]

Do you need a new team for every battle? I’m kinda confused😭

[weak sleet]

Finally!

[trail smelt]

you do yeah

After a team has beaten a round in CS MM, it cannot be used again

[weak sleet]

Thanks you guys for the help, apologies I got so confused snd frustrated.

[fringe valve]

Forgot about hop

[weak sleet]

Now for champion

[silent nacelle]

Ohhh got it

[fringe valve]

Your ex Rosa archie and may should do it for you

[trail smelt]

Note that you can still use the same character if they have a different sync pair unit. For example, if you beat Drake with Steven, you can still use his 3 other units, Summer Steven, Anniversary Steven, and Sygna Suit Steven for the other 3 elite Four or Champion.

[fringe valve]

Can only use a sync pair once yeah

[weak sleet]

Okay thanks! Let's give this a run

Does it matter what I pick from this? I can never remember.

[silent nacelle]

Ok that makes sense

[fringe valve]

Use the 2nd one

[gusty dragon]

Kyuren, SSkriss and skyla manage to pass drake 🙂

[trail smelt]

Pick the parameter that is most beneficial for you

For example, the faster move gauge has basically 0 bad repercussions for you, since they basically have a full gauge at all times anyway haha

Oh right if you're asking what's up with the choice, it's because the Champion battle has 2 round parameters, 1 that is unique to the final round and cannot be changed, and an additional one that you freely pick from any of the previous E4 fights

So Steven chose the Stats Down effect + parameter, and you have to pick another one, and both will be active during the fight

[weak sleet]

All done

[old orchid]

[weak sleet]

And apologies I got so darn confused.

[old orchid]

no worries

[fringe valve]

All good

@weak sleet For the future try learning how to use lyra. She's debated to be the best unit in the game for a reason. A little tough to use for a beginner but she can clear alot.

[weak sleet]

Yeah I'll have to make more use of her. That was definitely a challenge.

[marsh vault]

Pogs!

[lavish lantern]

Phoebe giving me pains

[weak sleet]

I used Lunala and giratina

[marsh vault]

The op ghost

Lowkey ghost units are lacking in this game

[lavish lantern]

I am close

Trying to outsync

[fringe valve]

I 2k off typed her with archie kris ethan

[trail smelt]

Thankfully I liked the characters with the OP ghosts so I pulled for them haha

[lavish lantern]

I am on Ethan Kris SSSteven atm

[fringe valve]

Marshadow & korrina deletes her

[fringe valve]

Do you have egg striker gyarados?

[lavish lantern]

No

[fringe valve]

That team already should do it

[lavish lantern]

Yeah I am like a sync move short

My Ethan is 1/5 though

EXed th

Steven is 2/5 exed

[fringe valve]

What about kris

Getting her 3/5 is the most important

[lavish lantern]

4/5

[fringe valve]

I would try syncing with steven and use this grid for kris

[lavish lantern]

I am syncing with Stevenm

but on Attack, no fast. Going to try that next

[fringe valve]

Attack deoxys is the best for that team

If you quad queue, you can get 2 syncs off with steven. That should be able to clear pheobe.

[lavish lantern]

Yeah, working on that lol

I am a queue away lol

[trail smelt]

I could never get the hang for Quad Queue right haha

[fringe valve]

It'll take a bit of rng but eventually you'll be able to clear it

[lavish lantern]

Yea seems to be the idea

[fringe valve]

Yeah i just deleted pheobe with that team at sync countdown 3

Granted my stuff is 3/5

[lavish lantern]

Yea dont want to candy steven yet. Waiting on anni stuff

I asssume you used presync params?

[fringe valve]

Yeah

[lavish lantern]

Hrmph

[fringe valve]

You could probably do it if you use psycho boosts before and after sync, and get lucky with kris's team limited boost

[lavish lantern]

I should just be spamming psycho boost right thouigh?

[fringe valve]

Yeah

[lavish lantern]

Got it finally

Now for stupid Drake

[marsh vault]

Ugh let's hope datamine today

Need new units for champion stadium

[lavish lantern]

Who should I be pairing with Celebi and Leafeon for Drake?

[true prism]

silver ex if he's available

[lavish lantern]

Ah that works

What about Maxie?

[fringe valve]

Oh are we expecting a datamine today

[true prism]

i suppose? let me try that myself. i'm also kinda stuck on drake

[fringe valve]

Do u have erika?

I like using erika lyra maxie

[lavish lantern]

Which one?

[true prism]

leafeon is erika

[lavish lantern]

Leafeon is Erika yea

[fringe valve]

Leafeon

[lavish lantern]

Thats my team yea

[true prism]

Leafeon

[lavish lantern]

Leafeon Celebi xx

[fringe valve]

That should just delete

If you're on round 4 use strength perameters

[lavish lantern]

Presync I assume? I saw something about lyra placement

[fringe valve]

You can easily do it pre sync

[lavish lantern]

Strenght instead of?

[fringe valve]

Just attack with lyra last, and make sure you spam her next move so you get another move in

Are u on round 4?

[lavish lantern]

Yea

rest are done

[fringe valve]

Do strength up to 9, both attack reductions, both healing , sync buff, and no stat drops

And -2 gauge

[lavish lantern]

Hrm, sync wipes Silver

[fringe valve]

Why aren't u using erika?

[lavish lantern]

I am?

[true prism]

wow ss lyra ss erika maxie just swept him pre sync round 2

all were 1/5

lyra just made it too easy

[fringe valve]

Are u not using maxie? @lavish lantern

[lavish lantern]

Trying with Silver atm

Maxie isnt EXed

[fringe valve]

You don't need to ex him

Just sync with erika

Her tech ex in grass zone hits hard

[lavish lantern]

Hrm

[true prism]

yeah round 4 you probably gonna want maxie since with half sync u gonna need to set up fast and maxie's auto sun saves a turn on erika

[lavish lantern]

My params are obv wrong

[fringe valve]

Are you getting one shot? @lavish lantern

[lavish lantern]

Should I be on grad healing>

No, but not doing enough damage

[fringe valve]

.

[lavish lantern]

Strength is maxed

move gauage -2

[fringe valve]

Strength 10 is too much

[marsh vault]

Yes max strength you'll never survive

[lavish lantern]

Yea was at 13 strength lol

er 12, whatever

Who is where? I have Silver at 1, Eriak at 2, Lyra at 3

[true prism]

u have silver tanking??

[lavish lantern]

No, just placement

[true prism]

lyra is the tank here lol

[marsh vault]

Is this for glacia

[lavish lantern]

Drake

[marsh vault]

Oh

Hmmm

[lavish lantern]

Sorry

[marsh vault]

But drake is physical hitter

[lavish lantern]

lyra is 1, Silver is 3

[marsh vault]

Lyra can tank and lightscreen is useless

[lavish lantern]

Who talked about Lightscreen?

[fringe valve]

Oh i thought you were using lyra and celebi?

[lavish lantern]

I am

[true prism]

say ss to avoid confusion

[marsh vault]

Agree

But ok ss lyra should be good then

But even then ss lyra as tank is kinda tough

[true prism]

i mean theoretically the only damage they should be taking is from sync

[trail smelt]

Oh yeah while she can solo, she can do her job better if she's not the main tank haha

[true prism]

if u flinch correctly

[trail smelt]

Says the man who has her be the main tank in my sun team LMAO

[true prism]

exactly, i just did the same thing

[trail smelt]

I mean between Brendan, SS Erika, and her, I think SS Lyra is the bulkiest

I could be wrong

[main crane]

How can we access pins in this chat now?

[fringe valve]

@lavish lantern try these perameters

[true prism]

it's in the same place as before, as far as i can tell both pc and mobile

[lavish lantern]

Alright ill check

[main crane]

Ah, there's a way I have to fully open the chat weird

[true prism]

i cleared round 2 exact same team but all 1/5, no ex, and presync params

round4 is gonna be very different experience tho

[fringe valve]

Those are perameters meant for round 4

Should equate to around the same, since you will be recieving less damage as well

Granted my erika was ex'd and 3/5

But her nuke wasn't anywhere near maxed out

[lavish lantern]

My Erika is 5/5 and EXd so

lol

Was using On hit over strength but same params

whats the flinch order, center, right, left?

[true prism]

center right center

same as their move order

it's only after that that their pattern starts to get weird i think

and anyway with half sync i think the third turn flinch doesn't stop em since it's their before sync move

[fringe valve]

No point in flinching the mid the 2nd time since he'll just go tm

With those peram's they shouldn't be doing enough damage to u

[true prism]

between phoebe and sidney who should i do r4 on? both of them i plan to do with just free units (mewtwo & xerneas or mina) or stall idk

[fringe valve]

Pheobe

Sydney has 29k hp so its tough with less sync countdowns

[true prism]

i see... gonna need a good support ex for him then since offtype ex is meh

[lavish lantern]

Hrm

[true prism]

don't they all lmao

[lavish lantern]

I am doing something wrong obv

Rotommmm

[fringe valve]

You can probably pre sync her with steven

At round 4

[true prism]

no have

u can stall a haymaker?

[fringe valve]

I've pre synced sydney actually

[true prism]

oh wait nvm u can drop their stat

[true prism]

you think stalling r4 is viable? it's only one sync that's faster after all

[fringe valve]

Never actually tried stalling

[true prism]

yeah that's my team named "CBT"

on r4?

awesome, i will do that, if mewtwo doesn't work out

thanks ye

[lavish lantern]

Okay got it. Stupid Flinching

Steven EZPZ right?

[fringe valve]

Just water him

Oh cool rising star

[lavish lantern]

?

[fringe valve]

Just beat him with water

[lavish lantern]

Well yeah Archie May Samurott

[fringe valve]

Water weak is a joke

[lavish lantern]

Lol

[fringe valve]

Also use a different support

One that buffs special attack

Since may is special

[lavish lantern]

Like what?

Used Kris before

Marowak it is

[fringe valve]

Yeah even that is fine

You could even do rosa

[lavish lantern]

Marowak worked

Hit every refresh haha

Hrm. Why can't I make a post in the clears?

[old orchid]

shadow banned?

[fringe valve]

I have that issue as well

[tired sleet]

Perhaps you need ace

[fringe valve]

I see alot of non rising stars there

Posting their clears

[lavish lantern]

Meh

[fringe valve]

Would post a 10k clear every week before this new change for adding posts

[lavish lantern]

I was posting them too since I started doing 10k

[fringe valve]

May just deletes drake

[old orchid]

May is op

glad I pulled her

[lavish lantern]

I did like 75k with May last week randomly

On MM

[fringe valve]

Mine is 1/5

her blaze kicks does so much

[lavish lantern]

I pitied for 3/5

Because, May

[old orchid]

i pulled 1/5 and waiting for candies

[fringe valve]

6 star ex + maxie master passive makes her hit like a truck

[lavish lantern]

I have 1 of each candy atm, but no Supports to use it on, and so many techs

[old orchid]

sync move cant be boosted by master passives tho

blaze kick is brutal

[fringe valve]

Yeah but her blaze kicks are insane

[old orchid]

[lavish lantern]

I like pairing her with Steven

[fringe valve]

Sync countdown -4 into steven sync is definitely an option

Though lear is probably a better option for that tbh

[lavish lantern]

Use both obv

Also see Rotom

[fringe valve]

Pulled may on a discount single. She and korrina are the only units that made wish i didn't skip morty

[lavish lantern]

Pulling on Morty was so good

[trail smelt]

Sadly Mayziken and SS Brendan are pretty low on my priority. Cynthia > Ash > Archie > SS Brendan = Mayziken

[lavish lantern]

Gio is probably the one I regret the most but I mean its Gio so meh

[trail smelt]

I don't even have enough pity LMAO

[lavish lantern]

I skipped Brendan. I expect to regret this

Well skipped.. skipping so far.

I don't have Dawn, Red, Brendan, or Ingo. But in the tier 1 portion I have the top 4 of them. Along with Morty and Kris

[trail smelt]

You know I'm not sure what SS Brendan does

[full mesa]

I was thinking SSteven.

[fringe valve]

Ground zone gio is busted though.

[tired sleet]

He boosts SpAtk and SpDef by +4 with his TM and Crit by 1. He can also debuff SpDef by -2 with each attack

With his 3/5 Grid, he gets Team Sharp Entry, which reactivates on his mega/sync to give the team max crit in conjunction with his TM

[fringe valve]

Brendan I'd argue to be the 2nd best unit available rn.

Though the hoenn duo will never come back

[true prism]

Anyone have any luck using Mina on Sidney?

I tried doing post sync but her sync nuke did like less than half his health

[sacred mountain]

Is this week offtype friendly?

[true prism]

Isn’t every week so provided you have good enough teams?

[keen jasper]

He can only debuff Sp. Def. using Luster Purge

[tired sleet]

Indeed

[keen jasper]

Each week, there's always that E4 that got hands

[trail smelt]

... what?

[keen jasper]

Do you even know that meme?

[dusty path]

Them hands be swinging

[trail smelt]

What meme

[keen jasper]

Got Hands

[trail smelt]

Can't say that I do

[dusty path]

Could you send it so we do know?

[keen jasper]

This template can also be applied too when facing electric-weak Aaron

[true prism]

It’s not even a meme it’s just a phrase haha

[dusty path]

Okay yeah I knew the phrase, just hadn't seen that before

[keen jasper]

Ok, Imma fight electric-weak Aaron
Damn, Aaron got hands

[last palm]

Sydney?

i used Gloria 1/5 Mina 5 * and Hop

pretty RNG tho

And Eve use Mina 4 *, Hop and 1 Ex support

[true prism]

His name is Sidney

[last palm]

they have heat wave and flamethrower tho so reset if Hop get any of that... He can tank close combat on first turn tho

[true prism]

Anyway I ended up using ghetsis

[last palm]

yeah

[last palm]

offtype then

[true prism]

Off typing a lot this week

If gio cannot clear r4 phoebe I am going to be doing off typing 3/5 rounds

If you count stall as offtype

[last palm]

in type pf2 unit 4/5 this weak tho

[true prism]

They are not good enough 👎

Unfortunately

[last palm]

you didn't reset enough

[last palm]

he can't on round 4 tho

[true prism]

Already enough

[last palm]

or 3

[true prism]

Then yeah

Stalling time

[last palm]

[keen jasper]

Try doing someone different for round 4

[last palm]

Phoebe has 2 spe def buff on entry tho

[keen jasper]

Have you tried Glacia round 4?

[true prism]

I am not resetting my whole run lol

[last palm]

Phoebe is ok R4 tho

she hits not that hard

[true prism]

I think my team can do glacia round 1 or 4 but she is the only fully special stage so r1 had least risk

[formal vigil]

I used mina , hop and sycamore

[true prism]

And I don’t have physical ghost anyway so r1 phoebe is pointless

[last palm]

Round 1 is for Glacia or Phoebe i use it for my Mina tho

if not don't think she can push through without support ex

[true prism]

That’s also valid idea

[keen jasper]

I round 1 against Drake

[true prism]

Sidney is weird, I did not expect dark pulse to be the strongest dps of the moves

So r1 with him would have been good actually

[keen jasper]

He does have stat buff multipliers and also paralysis syngergy

[last palm]

can do too drake not that strong physical

i spear him like few hit and he die

easiest of E4

[keen jasper]

Drake was literally the hardest for me because I relied on not getting my team hit hard

[last palm]

just reset as usual

i remember he has many partern that can't kill you fast

[keen jasper]

And OFC I shouldn't forget about another layer of RNG from sync nuking with an EX striker

[formal vigil]

I just kinda wreched him with candice

[last palm]

i do it with Bea tho bruh she is my best Ex so far

she killed more Hoenn E4 than i expected

3 member so far

next weak i will kill phoebe and complete Bea nuke Hoenn E4

[keen jasper]

Electric-weak Phoebe next week, need paralysis unit

[last palm]

Sonia go with Bea

and no sentry entry x2

[keen jasper]

Sonia will paralyze?

[last palm]

spark

[formal vigil]

She does have hostile environment spark

[last palm]

assume all spark paz

[white gale]

what does Ghetsis do against Sidney? What was your team? having hard time with Xerneas/Mina

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis is most likely for Noble Roar

[white gale]

what are the other two units to use against Sidney?

[true prism]

Skyla for speed

Both supps were ex but only one is needed really

[keen jasper]

Oh you used Ghetsis for damage

[true prism]

Yea

[last palm]

oh dodge thunder wave nice

[white gale]

how do you get him to do much damage against them with Glaciate??

[true prism]

Over time

This is after like 4 syncs

[last palm]

post sync

[true prism]

Of mine

[white gale]

how do you not die?

[true prism]

Post sync param

Noble roar

Skyla def

Potion

[last palm]

and RNG

[true prism]

True

Out of all the attacks only dark pulse is a real threat

[keen jasper]

Does Skyla have friend mend?

[true prism]

Idk what that is so prob no

It’s her flinch potion grid

Flinch also stops thunder wave btw

[formal vigil]

Skyla doesn't get friend mend though also friend mend allow s you to clear status condition with a move

[true prism]

Ah I see

No I skipped thunder wave entirely

[white gale]

with a 20% chance Skyla flinch?

[last palm]

thunder wave more like flinch

[true prism]

With fly

[keen jasper]

I dealt Thunder Wave with Sycamore's Healing Hand

[true prism]

U can dodge with flinch but I’m doing fly lol

[grizzled nova]

I reaaaaallly want to make Mina work

i tried with TMR and syca, maybe hop is the answer

o shi i used hop nvm

[tepid peak]

@plush tangle Was able to clear 10k. Had to reset and fought Glacia instead in R4.

[keen jasper]

That's what I did too

[manic mica]

skull emoji

[keen jasper]

Just sustain him with Horn Leech

[manic mica]

yeah i am

just killed lmao

i had to use orbs for Mina

bedge

[keen jasper]

Well, she'll be worth it if she gets EX-ed

[manic mica]

ah who am i kidding i dont have any other fairy striker other than her

[hallow star]

Gloria?

She's not fairy but

[full mesa]

For next week's champion I'm thinking something along the lines of DawnEx/Darach/Sycamore.

[keen jasper]

Against who?

[full mesa]

Next week's champion

[keen jasper]

I'm gonna use SS Morty, Silver and Lyra

[full mesa]

I don't have SSMorty.

Only Ninetales eggmon or bald scientist.

[keen jasper]

I'm actually glad I spent my gems on him

[trail smelt]

Same haha, dude is an amazing sun tank

[full mesa]

It was him or SSLyra. I don't regret my choice.

[dim marsh]

Neither do I

Could I be able to post-sync in 3K?

[pale geode]

Should I use SS Lyra to off type Sidney

[keen jasper]

Well, I off-typed Sidney with SS Ethan so sure, and also I think Sycamore is kinda needed for Sidney?

[frosty axle]

Well you don't need it but it is helpful, full heal user also works

or flincher or my favorite Darkrai

[keen jasper]

I mean Sycamore also lowers Sp. Atk. which is kinda needed to reduce the Sp. Atk. buff multiplier

[frosty axle]

I just ignored it and focused on attack drops with Granbull

I guess Darkrai can also drop sp.atk

[full mesa]

I did him R3 with SSBlueEx/Swimduck/SStevenEx.

I used SSLyra on R2 against Drake.

[plush tangle]

Gg

[keen jasper]

SS Steven as your damage dealer?

[dim marsh]

I just did R4 3K Glacia yay

Evelyn actually getting kos lol

[last palm]

evelyn work fine in this stage tho

[vapid swan]

Can anyone help me with drake round4 2k?

[last palm]

Dena bless you

Stall strategy

Who you have left?

[vapid swan]

Let me have a look a sec

[last palm]

i thought that team could work tho

[vapid swan]

It depends on parameters I guess

I don’t know what ones people are using

[last palm]

How about replace Ciris with Lyra and sync after they sync so you can get rid of sandstorm

[last palm]

Most people use post sync params on round 4

[vapid swan]

Alright thanks

Sun may be good just sad it removes freeze

[last palm]

You use cold snap grid

Can change to sync nuke grid tho

[vapid swan]

Yea I use cold snap but

When I used morty before to try the sun it unfreezes

But I’ll change it for now

[last palm]

haha oka

Btw wise entry x2 so special atk not so effective... So good luck

[vapid swan]

Yeah it’s not doing much at all

[last palm]

well my bad

[full mesa]

Yes. Att form

[cosmic vortex]

gosh, i just noticed that there's another week of hoenn cs...i thought its already over i kinda already miss simple csmm that are not hoenn/sinnoh

[last palm]

kinda fun to see people cant brute force it

less envy more strategy

[cosmic vortex]

kinda hate these entryx2 passives that are aimed for peoples that pull every pairs or something

[plush tangle]

Steel Glacia's just a big fu from DeNa ngl

[old orchid]

Electric weak Aaron

[plush tangle]

"What ? You dont have the only special Steel dps that was live more than a year ago and never since ? Not my problem"

[plush tangle]

At least we got C Elesa and NY Volkner not long before, and we have Hau

[cosmic vortex]

seeing the tips section is like that like in fighting weak, we recommend you guys to use cobalion (that take 3/4 months of constant efforts to get), scguzma, scdiantha to clear this...and yep some suggest raihan for steel weak and some even suggest master fairs

probably next psychic weak tips section will suggest sssteven

[plush tangle]

SC Diantha's not a problem for me

[last palm]

Bredan leaf storm + reset + sslyra flinch hax not a problem for me

[plush tangle]

I should try Brendan instead of SS Erika for the duos

It'd make the run much easier if it works

[last palm]

have to run ampe up Brendan tho

[plush tangle]

Ampe up's not bad tho

[keen jasper]

I technically brute forced Drake

[last palm]

still enjoy in seeing people struggle tho

[plush tangle]

Except what can't

Im looking at you Regirock, Tornadus, Uxie

[keen jasper]

Permanent resilience

[violet timber]

gah

[toxic cobalt]

Hop stopping the quadqueue

[violet timber]

should I just ditch heals and go for max hp 2 and healing down

[toxic cobalt]

What round is this?

[violet timber]

or should I do healing down and gradual healing

[violet timber]

3

[toxic cobalt]

You should almost certainly be doing gradual healing

[last palm]

they re free tho

Should do that if want pre sync

[violet timber]

I physically cannot do pre-sync, my Candice isn't EX

[toxic cobalt]

So?

[violet timber]

do I do an MP refresh hail or ramming speed ice punch

[toxic cobalt]

Not sure either of those matters. You hail the turn before you sync both times.

[last palm]

Post sync kinda hard here tho cant keep striker alive long enough

[violet timber]

well I have no other options

[last palm]

[toxic cobalt]

The main issue with round 3 is the prevention of quadqueue

[violet timber]

It's either this or I reset and do him round 1 or 2

[last palm]

Btw i thought you atleast can survive 1 sync why your whole team die

[toxic cobalt]

I used Candice Ghetsis Skyla. Simple enough.

[tacit matrix]

If you kill left side first you force quadqueue anyway

[violet timber]

Thats the second sync

[last palm]

Oh then that is ok tho

[violet timber]

Failed to one shot side

[tacit matrix]

Yes you should try to fix that

[toxic cobalt]

Now that's thinking! Will probably work too.

[violet timber]

hm

[tacit matrix]

Remove some str parameters and put more atk

[toxic cobalt]

FULL PRESYNC

[tacit matrix]

Or do a bit of chip damage first

[violet timber]

so instead of breaking swipe I run dragon rush

[tacit matrix]

For example I couldn't kill left first so instead of using Str 3 I used Str 2 and Atk +3

[violet timber]

oh

[last palm]

Drake side unit heal pretty fast tho they spam earthquake all day

[toxic cobalt]

But their earthquakes are so weak

[violet timber]

I'm still missing 200

power on hit 2?

[toxic cobalt]

Yes

[last palm]

Yeah but they can heal constantly so you cant hit and run at the start

[violet timber]

I don't really like it since they genuinely spam earthquake

[toxic cobalt]

I don't know what hit and run is

[last palm]

Hit and run do other things

You know low their hp down so you can finish later

[toxic cobalt]

I dunno, I just Ghetsised the sides to death. Their earthquakes did nothing.

[tacit matrix]

You can try using the dps move on Iris once then

You either do that or reduce their HP/Defense so Candice oneshot

You can try both and see what do you prefer

[last palm]

Well speak in case no AOE

[toxic cobalt]

I don't have C!Iris, what is her advantage here?

[violet timber]

AoE double drop atk

and with def crush

AoE def crush double drop

[toxic cobalt]

Ah hence the post-sync. Well, seems like there

's a decent chance it'll work

Just slightly tweak your existing parameters

[magic crown]

Moonblast synergy

[violet timber]

i suppose?

[keen jasper]

Have you tried yet?

[violet timber]

no but am gonna try now

bruh

so it should work but

four times i messed up queueing, hail ended before i could sync

two times it didnt crit

and six times hop didnt refresh tm

dang it

I've been using dragon rush and behemoth on mid already

and I messed up queuing as well

[dark osprey]

I guess if you're going with Ciris better not to go power on hit. Can nuke stall probably

Put in some HP & strength paramaters probably

[dim marsh]

You can't stall with all the earthquakes

[dense lintel]

I was able to poison stall drake

[full mesa]

SSLyra stalls everything.

[dense lintel]

It not impossible just hard

[dim marsh]

Btw, the fact that Steven suggests to drop defense means he tanks special damage better than physical?

Or just that has more resistance to spdef drops rather than defense ones,

[dim marsh]

True, but not with Candice

[full mesa]

Maybe??? May/Cyrus did a quick job out of him.

[dense lintel]

Ya

[dim marsh]

That's the point

I was thinking more about May Archie Roxanne but yeah

[dense lintel]

Idt Steven has wise entry

[full mesa]

Overkill. Do it.

[dim marsh]

I'm the 3K player

I need overkill

[full mesa]

Good

Just build May as a sync nyker and not sustain tank like me. I could have finish it on second sync...

[dim marsh]

Of course

[full mesa]

I just remembered it. Mid has a passive where it deals more damage the higher its def or the more Def buffs it has.

Tough cookie or something like that.

[frosty axle]

I should actually give her weathered warrior too as she is always under hail

[dim marsh]

Oh yea I know

OH RIGHT I can' crit syncs F

[tribal agate]

why not

[dim marsh]

I only have +2 crit since I'm using dire rain

[tribal agate]

f

[dim marsh]

I'm going to drop dire rain for mpr

[manic mica]

Can I best drake with 3/5 renegade steven

SS brendan

And bianca

If so please mention some parameters

[dusty path]

renegade steven?

[frosty axle]

Renegade Steven?

didn't know we had one

[lunar meadow]

I don't think we do

But like... That's why Pokemon names are easier

[frosty axle]

I presume they talking about Deoxys

could also be Metagross

[dusty path]

Or just say both, I'm used to hearing the pokemon names now

[toxic cobalt]

Renegade Deoxys

[dusty path]

With SS Brendan and Bianca? Probably Deoxys

[lunar meadow]

The only times it isn't obvious through Pokemon names is Rayquaza, Arcanine, and Charizard.

Everything else is just easier to say Pokemon name.

People specify when they mean egg versions.

[dusty path]

Mismagius, technically raichu too... Ho-oh?

But yeah, I get that

[frail canyon]

+6 atk +3 crit chance but never see the crit message why?

Has critical strike 2 too

[dusty path]

+3 crit is still only 80% on a sync

[toxic cobalt]

Says Critical STrike 2

That means it hit a crit

[frail canyon]

But not on enmy

[dusty path]

Ah yeah, it did happen

[frail canyon]

Why only 8k DMG?

+6 atk

[frosty axle]

that was a crit

[frail canyon]

Oh

[frosty axle]

was it full gridded?

[toxic cobalt]

The super effective message overrides the critical hit message on the opponent

[frail canyon]

Not full

[dusty path]

First sync with no atk buff from the screenshot

[frail canyon]

Dont have spare Is like half gridded

[dusty path]

That too

[toxic cobalt]

But the opponent is about to sync

[lunar meadow]

Mismagius versus Mortmagius
Z-Rayquaza versus RayVen
Leonzard versus Redzard
A-Raichu versus Surchu
Ho-oh and Mo-oh

[dusty path]

What's RayVen?

[lunar meadow]

Rayquaza and Steven

[dusty path]

Oh of course, Z is Zinnia

[tacit matrix]

I prefer black snake

🐍

[dusty path]

Gengar XD

Agatha and Allister

Sorry, I'm just picking it apart by adding more to the list now

Salamence

Umbreon? Karen & Rachel

Okay I'm done now I think

[manic mica]

Can steven defeat drake stage. Renegade steven

[nimble shell]

No soften up

[manic mica]

Bianca and

Ss brendan

[nimble shell]

Deoxy atk form with grid is guarantee sync crit

[manic mica]

I am struggling his stage pleasee help

[keen jasper]

Why are you saying Renegade Steven? It's only Cynthia

Not that I like Cynthia

[lunar meadow]

Gengar and "oh ya, Agatha is in the game... Sure, I guess you can use her for Cobalion and uxie if you have nothing else"

Salamence and Zinniamence
Karenbreon and Umbreon

(Basically all the BPdupes use hybrid names)

[manic mica]

Please tell me cuz hes not dying

[timber summit]

I need help with Drake r4 MM 4K, I used these teams:
Glacia: Blaine, Silver, Lyra (if Lyra not good then SSBlue)
Steven: Glojo, May, Sabrina
Drake: Maxie, Courtney, anything Tanky)
Phoebe: SSEthan, Lucian, Tank
Sidney: SSSteven, SSBrendan, Tank

[manic mica]

Only sync hits for 5k crit

[keen jasper]

Drake is mainly weak the physical damage because of Wise Entry

[manic mica]

So what should I do

[keen jasper]

Try to plan who's going for round 4

[timber summit]

Here are my pairs, only update is getting Kiawe and Glacia

I can grid Kiawe too

[manic mica]

Round 4 is drake

He's the last

Everyone i did

[keen jasper]

Use physical damage dealers and probably try to remove his sandstorm

[manic mica]

Even if I do he hits pretty hard

[lunar meadow]

I would think you need a defensive buffer and also a speed buffer for that Groudon team against a fast sync Drake.

I can't remember if Drake sync is physical or special. If it's physical, Swanna can work i think

[frosty axle]

Physical as I used Swanna

[lunar meadow]

But fast enemy syncs are scary. Swanna should get you +4 before he syncs at least

[timber summit]

Ok, so Courtney Maxie and Skyla?

[frosty axle]

if they can survive his sync and remember he does Sandstorm on sync

[timber summit]

Ok

Thank you

[frosty axle]

I don't see anyway you got to put up sun again

[lunar meadow]

3/5 Maxie? 😅

[timber summit]

My maxie is 3/5

[lunar meadow]

Oh, there ya go

[frosty axle]

oh ok only got 1/5

so nice

[lunar meadow]

It's not instant. But it can set sun to cut off their sand

[frosty axle]

you can set it up a turn after first sync

[timber summit]

Ok, I'll grid him and try with this team, thank you all

[frosty axle]

so you will get hit by Sandstorm boosted attack once or twice

[dim marsh]

Just finished my 15K run yay

[frosty axle]

what did you get? a million gems?

[dusty path]

What do you mean renegade steven? What his pokemon?

[manic mica]

Deoxys

[frosty axle]

Renegade has Jirachi

[dim marsh]

Some fun

[manic mica]

Tell me how to defeat drake please

My Candace is not ex

[dim marsh]

How do I post in #1010277884922953830

[dusty path]

What physical attackers do you have?

[manic mica]

I have anniv steve. 3/5

Hala 1/5

[dusty path]

Drake has Wise Entry x2 doesn't he?

[frosty axle]

make a post with a title and description

[manic mica]

Candace is now 5 stat

[frosty axle]

yes

[dim marsh]

It says that I am not authorized

[dusty path]

anni steven will work fine won't he? (I didn't get him :'{)

[manic mica]

No he also dies

His earthquake is just tooo annoying

Even brutal swing can ko steve and deoxys

[dusty path]

are you doing 2k or no parameters or somewhere in between?

[frosty axle]

can you screenshot?

[manic mica]

2k

1.5k I would have done

But want 2k

[lunar meadow]

Ya I hate most of the changes to the discord in the last two weeks.

Why would I ever want to make a full forum thread if I'm not posting a full strategy? I just want to send a quick pic sometimes

[dusty path]

I threw in SS Lyra against Drake

[manic mica]

For exing my steve

[manic mica]

I threw her for phoebe

Brendan ss Lyra and ss leaf

[dusty path]

Why'd you use 3 grasses on a ghost stage?

Hmm

Do you have Mewtwo power up and ex?

[manic mica]

Cuz Giovanni was getting one shot

Have everything on mew

To

Power up and ex

Hoenn can itself is very tough

[frail canyon]

Drake so painful

[manic mica]

So suggest me any team

[frail canyon]

Is there any other unit that can beat him?

Except ICE

My abomasnow suck

[manic mica]

My Candace is not ex. I just 5 star her

And she also dies

[violet timber]

if you’re not doing it at round 1, Candace is ridiculously hard to do

[frosty axle]

I agree its like extra work

[manic mica]

So what should I do now

[frosty axle]

You don't need Candice round 1 all she needs is another attacker to help

[violet timber]

I’m not a pro at this

[frosty axle]

I used Hala with her

[violet timber]

should I just reset

I’ve been stuck here for a day now

[frosty axle]

doesn't hurt to reset

if something doesn't work try a different way

[dusty path]

Could you post screenshots/a video of your roster, and say what you've used?

[violet timber]

Well I’ve decided my team is gonna be def crush breaking swipe util C Iris, Abomasnow with max nuking capability and WW3, and Master healer hop

but the Params

and hop not refreshing TM is killing me

[dim marsh]

Sure

[wary obsidian]

What's wrong with glacia why does she do so much aoe damage lol

[frail canyon]

Also guys Is only me or raised for Sync grids?,early was more Easy now require a lot

[dusty path]

Hop for Atk, Def, Crit (+Pot)?

[violet timber]

yes

[frosty axle]

I use CS2 on Abomasnow doesn't need WW3 to win or higher than 4*

[violet timber]

so I don’t need to waste turns using Abomasnow’s TM

[violet timber]

is CS2 more consistent?

[dim marsh]

It says "you don't have the needed permission"

[frosty axle]

Its probably cause you haven't selected a flair

[dim marsh]

Which flair is it

[dusty path]

TM for Atk?

[dim marsh]

I selected almost all of them lol

[violet timber]

ye

[frosty axle]

this

[dim marsh]

Waut where...

[frosty axle]

little tag icon

[dusty path]

If you use Hilbert, he has a grid node that puts crit +2 on his TM, and if you use that twice everyone has max Atk max Crit

[dim marsh]

Yeah where do I get it

[violet timber]

no pots

[frosty axle]

where you posting it

[dim marsh]

Stage clears

[violet timber]

oh, great

the game isn’t even letting me clear non-2’k

doesn’t crit

[frosty axle]

you can't see that second icon?

[manic mica]

Can u check mine mate

[frosty axle]

why max sync?

[manic mica]

These are the sync pairs i have

[dim marsh]

No...

I don't get how you went into that screen

[dusty path]

Yep sorry

[violet timber]

update discord

[frosty axle]

show what you get before choosing images

[dusty path]

That's a lot of , wish I had that XD

Um

[marsh vault]

But EX is part of the game Kappa

[dim marsh]

OH lol

[manic mica]

So please tell me a way to defeat drake

[marsh vault]

What you got

And what round

[manic mica]

I used brendan ss Lyra ss leaf Skyla Giovanni

[manic mica]

4

[marsh vault]

Weather vs weather?

No ice hail?

[manic mica]

But Candace dies

[violet timber]

OMG why won’t Candace just crit the damn sync

[marsh vault]

How? I beat it with Candice before

[frosty axle]

Candice not ace

[manic mica]

That's because u might have cleared in stage 1

Mine is 4

[frosty axle]

maybe if you used guaranteed sync crit on Abomasnow

like I do

[marsh vault]

Ah that's the problem. You doing round 4 which makes setting up harder

[violet timber]

That is definitely the problem

[manic mica]

Still it can't one shot

[marsh vault]

If you didn't have cut the sync in half it'll be easier

[manic mica]

It does 17k

So what's the oarameters

[marsh vault]

Do you have any defense buffer

[frosty axle]

good mine did 20k to 33k

[marsh vault]

For phys damage

[dusty path]

Yeah I did Drake r2...

[violet timber]

Drake at most has like 26-33k

[marsh vault]

Same

Sydney is best to do r4

[dim marsh]

It worked! Thanks

[marsh vault]

Drake r2

[frosty axle]

15k was my first sync on left

[dusty path]

But yeah, you're gonna need Def buff and Physical attacker

[violet timber]

But the sides, with the right params you can easily one shot them so they don’t earthquake you to oblivion

[marsh vault]

What Pokemon you using. I can try to copy your setup @manic mica

[frosty axle]

I did have defense debuffer with her

[marsh vault]

It doesn't matter I'm f2p also

Like evee since we are day 1 players

[manic mica]

I mean I used a lot. Like I used Candace, piers and mallow for +6 instant speed

Piers for -2 def

I thought It would help

[marsh vault]

Mallow? Tsareena?

Do you have Sonia?

[manic mica]

Sorry

Arcanine support

[dusty path]

Marley?

[marsh vault]

You don't need Arcanine

[manic mica]

But she also gets one shot

[marsh vault]

That's why you're losing

Wut

Sonia has def up

[manic mica]

She's weak to ground. Poor sonia

[frosty axle]

Abomasnow does her own speed and attack

[marsh vault]

She won't get one shot depending.

I have ground gaurd on mine

Just for this round

[manic mica]

But that takes time
L

[marsh vault]

You got time

[manic mica]

Before that he spams earthquakes

[frosty axle]

4 moves is enough

[marsh vault]

Who else you got to replace Arcanine

[manic mica]

Maybe masked royal

[dusty path]

If you are using it to sync and not dps then that's fine

[manic mica]

Yeah if I one shot him

[frosty axle]

Yes I focus on sync only

[marsh vault]

Mask Royal isn't support though

[manic mica]

That's what I am trying to do

[manic mica]

He can +6 speed and some attk and def debuffs

[marsh vault]

But you need someone to survive and tank hits

[manic mica]

He cant tank

[dusty path]

Skyla?

[marsh vault]

Royal won't do you good with these parameters

[manic mica]

Masked Candace and hilbert

[manic mica]

Used for grassy terrain brendan

[marsh vault]

Are they all 3/5?

[manic mica]

Hilbert is 4/5

Sonia is 1/5

Hala is 1/5

Will it be possible through hala

[frosty axle]

With Hilbert you don't need Masked

Go Hilbert, Hala and Abomasnow

[dusty path]

Dawn would be good for Def

[frosty axle]

Hala dps and Abomasnow sync

[manic mica]

4 gauge issues

[manic mica]

But shes 2/5

[frosty axle]

you got hasty hail

[dusty path]

I don't even know Dawn's grid

[manic mica]

Not exd

[dusty path]

And?

[manic mica]

Super prepration 4?

[frosty axle]

second team here https://youtu.be/eHRtDLCqhsk

[manic mica]

Ur is ex

I am gonna cry

[frosty axle]

nope I use hail MPR

You don't need EX tried same with 4*

[marsh vault]

Don't cry

[manic mica]

Mine is 5 star

[marsh vault]

Pog 5* use that

[frosty axle]

then you fine

[dusty path]

5 star better than 4 star

[manic mica]

Gimme parameters

Nothing is running in my head

[frosty axle]

it's shown in the video

[manic mica]

Should I first sync with hilbert or ace?

[frosty axle]

which round is it?

[dusty path]

4 I think

[frosty axle]

then yes if Hilbert is EX

[violet timber]

so eve, for non-EX Candice, round 1 is a must right?

[frosty axle]

nope

[manic mica]

Even if hilbert is ex. After he sync everything is ko's with his spammy aoe earthquakes and brutal swings

[toxic cobalt]

Candice is a tech, her EX doesn't do that much in CS

[frosty axle]

round 1 is nice if you got no other physical needing it

not vital

[dusty path]

Sync x1.5 is a lot

[manic mica]

She has.. some multipliers

[toxic cobalt]

For CS? Not really. Usually they die anyway.

[manic mica]

How about ghethsis?

He also has guage issue

[dusty path]

Drake has Wise Entry x2. Crits or Piercing Blows can't even avoid it

[frosty axle]

Grid I use goes for MPR hail and guaranteed crit on Abomasnow

[dusty path]

double base SpDef stat I think

[manic mica]

God save me

So should I reset

[frosty axle]

why what happened

[marsh vault]

Ghetsis is no good

[dusty path]

I think that'd be a good idea...

[marsh vault]

Use hala

For drake

[manic mica]

No I mean I should do without any parameters a

[toxic cobalt]

Ghetsis is good.

[manic mica]

And then again choose

[marsh vault]

I'll copy your team and I'll tell you which I do

[toxic cobalt]

But you can run him with Candice

[manic mica]

Drake stage 1

[marsh vault]

He doesn't do much damage against drake unfortunately

[manic mica]

Guage

[marsh vault]

He has high spdef

[toxic cobalt]

Candice Ghetsis Skyla. Easy.

[manic mica]

Valid point

[manic mica]

No. I used her with brendan

[dusty path]

Ghetsis for the noble roar? Or actually for Glaciate?

[toxic cobalt]

How are you on round 1 then?

[frosty axle]

hasty hail Candice shouldn't have gauge issues with Crab

[dusty path]

VJ is on round 4

[manic mica]

Ok I'll try one last time

[toxic cobalt]

Oh round 4 is particularly problematic indeed.

[marsh vault]

@manic mica

I used this

[manic mica]

Or else I'll do without parameters and then reset again

[marsh vault]

But it was second 2

So I'll try 4 and if it works you can do it

[manic mica]

Ok please try and see

[frosty axle]

I am sure 4 is fine with that team

[dusty path]

Burghepi

[marsh vault]

Do you have Togepi?

[manic mica]

No

[marsh vault]

Mine is only 2/5

Hmmm

[frosty axle]

not even I have it

[marsh vault]

Gomenasorry:(

@manic mica other support?

That can heal?

[manic mica]

Hilbert

Oh

[frosty axle]

I am tempted to get him from the select

[marsh vault]

Honestly

[manic mica]

Ss brendan

[frosty axle]

since he avoided me twice

[marsh vault]

Togepi is super good

[manic mica]

Sonia

[marsh vault]

You only need 2/5

To make him amazing

[frosty axle]

I got Lopunny instead was so mad

[marsh vault]

I don't have brenden

So i can't vouch for his power

But you should be able to beat it with latios

[dusty path]

Brendan debuffs SpDef so that'd be good if you were trying with Ghetsis

[marsh vault]

Oh

I didn't know that

But i don't look up units I don't have KEKW

[dusty path]

Luster Purge + one of his passives debuff SpDef by 2 each attack

[marsh vault]

That's pretty broke

I can technically try a similar team

I have pal dawn with alcremie

Who's basically the same

[dusty path]

Gradual healing isn't gonna be enough I don't think

[marsh vault]

This is for VJ yea

[dusty path]

But yeah, you want Physical attackers anyway

[marsh vault]

?

[dusty path]

For Drake

[marsh vault]

I meant for the person in this chat lol

@manic mica

[dusty path]

Physical off type is better than the same as? Special Ice type

So if you have a physical attacker that's better than your special ice attackers

but yeah, physical ice is best for this

[violet timber]

alright I reset

what params?

for R1 drake

[dusty path]

PreSync, right?

[violet timber]

probably

[true prism]

You are not surviving a round 1 physical sync lol

[dusty path]

Well I mean, if you do presync params, pick presync kinda units

Otherwise if you pick post-sync params, pick post-sync units

[violet timber]

I can probably squeeze in 2 syncs

and that should deal abt 21k per

[frosty axle]

I use post sync Parameters

[true prism]

that’s the pre sync strategy 👍

[violet timber]

if it crits

[dusty path]

Phoebe r1 postsync XD

Haymaker

[violet timber]

that’s what I did with SSR Cynthia

[dusty path]

Who did you have debuffing Atk?

[violet timber]

well SSR Cynthia

[dusty path]

You survived a r1 haymaker sync???

[violet timber]

oh nvm it was Darach

[dusty path]

Ah okay

That makes more sense

I was getting clobbered by it in r4 before I started seeing haymaker pop up

[violet timber]

so post sync

I’m gonna try

hop didn’t refresh TM tally: 2

[dusty path]

Imagine doing the 21500 point CSMM

[violet timber]

nigh on impossible

[dusty path]

Instead of just the 10k

[elder talon]

Alright could use some help putting together teams for the stadium. Never completed it before. Keep in mind other than the event pairs none of them have a grid

[violet timber]

ARE YOU JOKING

17k

I’m going to

[dusty path]

17k?

[violet timber]

17k def down by 2 ranks

[dusty path]

So is this not master mode yet?

[elder talon]

Nope

[violet timber]

And it was

not enough

@dusty path this is what I mean

It's literally weathered warrior heavy hail inertia

[dusty path]

Aw man, so close though

[violet timber]

if only Hop triggered freevenge

[frosty axle]

my 15k one shotted side?

[violet timber]

Prolly params

[frosty axle]

ye

[violet timber]

oops the ping my bad

lemme check the params

[frosty axle]

I use full strength

[violet timber]

ooo

[true prism]

It was also ex so

[dusty path]

Well you'll want SS Red when you face Glacia, could throw in Rosa with that...
Going to want May for the Steven battle
Since Zinnia is your only power up unit I think, put that in where you're gonna have the most trouble

[violet timber]

I swear if next week Drake runs Sentry Entry x2

[frosty axle]

what about EX?

or you talking to someone else

[true prism]

I was saying ur Candice is ex while that screenshot wasn’t

[dusty path]

What order are you thinking of taking them on?

[elder talon]

Idk ive never done them since I just started playing, does it matter?

[frosty axle]

so he did more than mine

[true prism]

Does, you can see at the bottom of the screen in the stage selection

As a pre master mode u need to focus on using as many types as you can in order to progress into unlocking master mode

[dusty path]

For the first champion stadium though, it's fine not to do that just yet

[true prism]

How many grid orbs do you have saved up?

[true prism]

I was pushed into doing 15 types my very first cs lol, granted it’s was Johto tho

[elder talon]

I think I have like 6k atm. I used a bunch for hop/roxanne to help me with events
