Champion Stadium

[frail canyon]

Atm i Need to beat Drake 2k

[grizzled nova]

i mean i usually wait til i need to ex before i do personally. Like i EX'd hau / raichu when i needed to so i could beat Aaron easier

[frail canyon]

As ICE i only have Kyurem and abomasnow

Oh

[grizzled nova]

depends on your setup as to what you'd need to make candice work

[grim bridge]

I need some help I beat Drake but I'm struggling with everyone else rn

[keen jasper]

Mmmmm, Blue/Arcanine's damage against Glacia is pretty excellent

Not sure how he'll manage off-type tho

[grim bridge]

These are the 5*s I have

[keen jasper]

Have you used Skyla?

[grim bridge]

Yeah I used her vs Drake with hala and wulfric

[keen jasper]

Against Drake, you need to boost defense and also probably remove his sandstorm

[keen jasper]

I'm guessing you also used Hop?

[grim bridge]

No those 3 are the only ones I've used so far I've only managed to clear Drake

[keen jasper]

Oh ok, I thought you were struggling on Drake? Sorry

Ok, so we have Silver/Ho-Oh or Blue/Arcanine as your damage dealer for Glacia

@grim bridge BTW are you doing master or normal mode?

[grim bridge]

Normal I'm way too new for master mode haha

[keen jasper]

Ah ok

[keen jasper]

Round 4 is the toughest one, who do you plan on taking on on that round?

[grim bridge]

I honestly have no idea idk why but I really struggle with cs Ive only ever cleared it once even though I try every time it's up

[swift swan]

You'll get better with practice. CS does take a while to get used to

[swift swan]

Phoebe seems to be the safest choice r4 as long as you debuff her attack

If you have a good sun team, do Glacia r4

Sidney seems to be a beast postsync so don't do him there

[keen jasper]

Unless you have someone to decrease his offensive stats and cure paralysis

[grim bridge]

Seems so I'm ok with team building for most things it's just this I can't do for the life of me

Honestly it'd probably just be easiest if you recommend teams from what I have for each of the remaining ones and what order to do them in

[toxic cobalt]

Do you get your strikers to +6 atk/spatk and +3 crit?

[grim bridge]

I try to I still struggle a lot barely cleared Drake and couldn't beat any of the others I don't know if it's picking the wrong trainers to bring,lack of lucky skills,few ex's,not high enough level yet,the round conditions or a combination of all cause I quad que and try to use the stuff I think is right but I usually can't clear more then one or two if I'm lucky

[toxic cobalt]

Well it's not few Exes or not high enough levels

lucky skills will do it if you don't have enough vigilance

[grim bridge]

Yeah the only one who has a lucky skill rn is blue & Pidgeot from trying to clear a previous cs

[toxic cobalt]

Have you tried fire weak yet?

There should be a few options for that, Silver/Ho-oh if nothing else

Ghost weak you can use Giovanni

[grim bridge]

I tried with Giovanni the Alola girl with decidueye and sycamore for support and didn't get far couldn't even ko one and they they all got k.o'ed fast

[grim bridge]

I can try silver I just need to get him to 120 and figure out who else to bring he needs a sun setter iirc?

[toxic cobalt]

For Ghost weak you need a physical tank. I suggest Roxanne over Sycamore. And then you can replace Alola girl with a healer or something.

Silver doesn't need a sun setter, but it does help for this stage to counter the hail

[grim bridge]

I can try that uh should I do this one round 2 or wait?

[toxic cobalt]

This is just hard mode right?

[keen jasper]

Blue/Arcanine

Speaking of him, how does he fare off-type?

[grim bridge]

Yeah the normal one

[toxic cobalt]

Poorly

[toxic cobalt]

Go for it then

[keen jasper]

Ah, so he can only destroy when on-type?

[toxic cobalt]

Iirc his grid multipliers are super effective stuff

[keen jasper]

I guess I did do 2k Glacia using him without CS2

Just goes to show how much he can really do on-type

[grim bridge]

Wait what should I run with silver

[keen jasper]

Well, he can max out crit on his own assuming you have sun up

[toxic cobalt]

What’s his lucky skill?

[violet timber]

next week? After Drake this week I’m kinda scared Steven is gonna have Wise Entry or smn so I brough this special atk team

[toxic cobalt]

Those look like good teams

[keen jasper]

My team doesn't look too bad now does it?

[toxic cobalt]

Overpowered Hau

[keen jasper]

Hey, I barely clutched Phoebe using him

[grim bridge]

Ok I'll use ss Erika for sun since Blain isn't leveled up yet only just got him the other day any suggestions for the third ? And my silver isn't Ex hope that's not a issue?

[keen jasper]

Someone to buff Sp. Def. to your team

[tranquil pier]

How to tackle rest of stages this week

[toxic cobalt]

Phoebe you could try Allistair or level up Giovanni

Sidney honestly just stall him

[keen jasper]

Have you used Sycamore?

[toxic cobalt]

Drake it might be easier offtype unless you level and grid Gandice

Starmisty is a great shout for spdef if you grid her at 3/5 and get her to 4*

[grim bridge]

Not yet I've only used wulfric hala and skyla everything else is free wasn't sure if I'd need sycamore for Sydney

[hidden ore]

Is Candice good?

[tribal agate]

yes, very

[dark osprey]

Good on type nuker and decent weather setter

[hidden ore]

Goona max her then for Drake!

Don’t have Hala

[toxic cobalt]

Super Candice go!

[keen jasper]

Sycamore can be used to lower Sidney's Sp. Atk. and cure paralysis

[frail canyon]

Guys Is Crabominable and Hala good vs Drake?

[keen jasper]

Definitely

[frail canyon]

Oh i have him 5/5 but no ex

[hidden ore]

Obama + Kyurem here we go

[frail canyon]

Need crit strike 2 right?

[grim bridge]

Ok I'll save him then since the only other fairy types I have are mina and Valerie

[frail canyon]

Hm Also what team with him?

[grim bridge]

Would she be good enough at 3* 1/5 on normal or should I try someone else Iike Drake I want to save misty and Psyduck for champion in case I need them they seem pretty good

[toxic cobalt]

Worth a try, although I'd bump her to 4* if you can

[grim bridge]

Yeah I can do that if it's worth it I've farmed quite a lot of 3* power ups so far

[keen jasper]

Probably Candice for Hail

[marsh vault]

Ppl really need to not do drake round 4

The weather really messes it up

[tacit matrix]

Next week should be pretty easy since they are all old weakness with the exception of Steven grass weak... and his only gimmick is just that he has physic terrain

[tranquil pier]

Best order for e4?

[toxic cobalt]

Just don't do Drake or Glacia last

[keen jasper]

I did Glacia last

[toxic cobalt]

What a flex

[keen jasper]

She was probably the easiest one at round 4 for me

[tranquil pier]

All right, any starts for drake

[keen jasper]

Buff defense and remove sandstorm

And only use physical damage dealers

[tranquil pier]

I see

[marsh vault]

I did ice hail for drake

And Candice is best friend

[tranquil pier]

This good for drake?

[keen jasper]

Did you grid Candice?

[marsh vault]

Do you have anyone else besides Persian?

[tranquil pier]

Not yet

[marsh vault]

Idk if Roxanne is good for this

[tranquil pier]

Hold up let me switch up some stuff

[marsh vault]

You'll be able to setup quickly though with Candice and if you have inertia

Then you can go hella damage

Also can you raise your Candice star level

[tranquil pier]

This better?

[hidden ore]

Gonna grid Candice, got lucky with WW3

[tribal agate]

i'm really considering EXing her after her prowess this week

that looks a bit overkill btw on the Hilbert/Candice/Hop team

Hilbert has no purpose there with Hop existing, especially at 1/5

[tranquil pier]

Ok who should I switch Hilbert for

[hidden ore]

I’m wondering if I should go bottom left

Since Kyu will do most dmg

[tribal agate]

if you haven't used Skyla yet

i'd suggest doing Candice / Skyla / Ghetsis

you have to get Candice's sure crit nuke grid

Ghetsis takes care of the sides, Candice the middle

[keen jasper]

He can also probably lower the attack of Drake

[tribal agate]

correct, you can go double drop for that as well

i saw some people use that team it's been proof'd https://i.imgur.com/edlPp46.png

[keen jasper]

Well, I used Ghetsis for Phoebe

[tranquil pier]

How do you raise crit on that team tho?

[trail smelt]

No Crit lol

[tribal agate]

Ghetsis raises his own crit, Candice has a grid tile that gives her sure crit for nuking after using Hail

y'all need to start really looking into those F2P pairs

[tranquil pier]

Right my bad

[tribal agate]

lol no worries at all it's always nice to have these more F2P friendly options

they've been generous with grids

Candice is a monster

fully setting up your own nuke on your own without any external help as a F2P is so crazy

[hidden ore]

Good tactics?

[marsh vault]

Anything is doable....

[tribal agate]

probably Ghetsis 2 but it doesn't matter, they shouldn't be dying

[marsh vault]

With money 💰

https://c.tenor.com/gy2ip_zHgCkAAAAM/rick-and-morty-i-can-answer-that-for-money.gif

[hidden ore]

Thank you!

Did it!

Avoided MM cuz too hard with my resources

[tranquil pier]

Should ghetsis be using noble roar

[keen jasper]

You can if you want to survive longer

[tranquil pier]

Ok so change parameters to strength up?

[keen jasper]

Whichever works for you

[tranquil pier]

K

[marsh vault]

Ulfric is good too

5/5 does major damage

[tranquil pier]

Alright I can't get the garchomp done for some reason

[toxic cobalt]

What’s your defence?

[tranquil pier]

What like raised stages?

BC I'm using skyla to get +6

This is the team I'm running for drake

[toxic cobalt]

Hmm I’m surprised that’s not winning. Are you managing to quadqueue?

Or flinching is another option

[marsh vault]

What's Candice grid?

[tranquil pier]

This

[frail canyon]

What does weather Warrior 3 do?

[dusty path]

powers up moves (and sync?) in weather

[trail cypress]

yes

[tranquil pier]

Oh wait I haven't used lucky skill in Candice

[dusty path]

and is the 3 there 30% power up?

[marsh vault]

Always remember lucky cookies

[old orchid]

Yes

[lunar meadow]

Cookies with WW are rare.
I give most things CS2 still

[plush tangle]

I think I have like

3 units with weather warrior

Being SS Erika, Maxie and Archie, for obvious reasons

[lunar meadow]

Kyogre and Archeops are the most obvious choices for me. Followed by Leafeon

[plush tangle]

Archeops is an obvious too yeah, but I don't have it

[flat leaf]

should i battle sydney or phoebe for round 3

[plush tangle]

the question is more "who should you fight for round 4", because round 3's modifier isn't important

So it depends on who you think you can beat with a lowered sync move countdown

[flat leaf]

i guess sydney then because i don’t really rely on my sync for phoebe

so then what should i use against phoebe with gio and sycamore

oh i know i’ll use darach to debuff phys

oh nice defog gets rid of the reductions from parameters that’s useful

[marsh vault]

This team was able to do it

[plush tangle]

you can also use critical-hit defense parameters and defog it away, free 150 points

[flat leaf]

fuck i still got one shot by sync

oh true i can just take every field effect for free points and get rid of them with defog

is no conditions no reduction a field effect

[marsh vault]

Issue with defog is one is more defensive then the other

And other you need to use it on unit that can benefit lowering atk

[flat leaf]

lmao is no reduction no conditions crit defense physical special debuff too many field effects for the game to display

[flat leaf]

darach lowers attack and uses defog

[marsh vault]

If you can manage it sure

But you need the other unit to raise defenses

And survive alot

Like xerneas or togepi

[flat leaf]

i’m using sycamore for buffs

[marsh vault]

But he only buffs spdef

Not def

[flat leaf]

and speed+spA

[marsh vault]

Which is what you eant

I'm talking about defenses

Not Offensive stats

Plus darach already buffs speed

So xerneas is semi irrelevant to the setup

[lunar meadow]

Phoebe is basically all special, but a physical sync with physical multipliers

[flat leaf]

fuck i already used tea lillie and giovanni can’t heal (gradual healing) enough to survive the sync after that first move

oh i can just reset until he doesn’t get earthquaked

dammit still too much damage

i just realized gio has a sync node that gives him enduring

[lunar meadow]

It sounds like fighting Drake?

Drake has big multipliers during sandstorm. If you can replace sandstorm with any other weather his damage drops

[flat leaf]

im fighting phoebe

[frail canyon]

Guys are like 40 times that i try Drake i cant even do with 1500 points lmaooooo

I dont get why my abomasnow crit +6 atk do only 8k

While ppl in yt do 40k

Why Is so painful

I give up

Never saw anything painful like this before

[lunar meadow]

Is it EX?

[frail canyon]

No

4 star

He only do 8k smg

Dmg

Some ppl Also 4 star but they do a lot more dmg

This guy has 4 star abomasnow and he do 16.8k i dont get how

Mine 8k

[keen jasper]

Did you grid Hala?

[frail canyon]

Nope unfort dont have many Also they are very expensive on grid

Like 600 for 1 slot

Tf

Also more than 600

[keen jasper]

That's why you're not dealing as much damage, it's because Hala is not gridded

[keen jasper]

750 is the exact number

[frail canyon]

But abomasnow Is gridded

He only dont have 1 slot red

Then Is full gridded

But the DMG isnt more important for abomasnow?

Cause i should do big damage with synch with him

But he do 8k like

i tried with 1500 too and still cant cause not enough DMG with abomasnow sync

Need those champ spirit

[toxic cobalt]

Are you using strength parameters or something

Full offensive and Candice should clear easily with a quadqueue

[keen jasper]

@frail canyon Yeah, what parameters are you using?

[marsh vault]

Can you share your grids

Also parameters definitely matter in terms of defensive or offensive

[tacit matrix]

Parameters and SuperEffective UP which you were missing are the reason for the difference

[elder talon]

What team would you recommend for Drake? Keep in mind these are all with no grid

[elder talon]

Also keep in mind that I don't have enough exp tomes atm but could get some more by the end of the week

[hidden ore]

Candice and Kyurem no doubt

[elder talon]

I was suggested not to use kyurem due to it being special

[keen jasper]

Maybe mostly for Noble Roar spam

[chrome scroll]

i went full special against drake and it worked just fine lol

kyurem can freeze-lock him

[elder talon]

Do you think getting him to 100 might be enough? Or should I shoot for 120 before attempting?

[chrome scroll]

no master mode?

[elder talon]

Nope

This would be my first clear

[chrome scroll]

you can try at 100, but 120 should do better

as you don't have parameters yet, it might work

[keen jasper]

What round is that?

[elder talon]

I'll see how far I can get with my exp books. For a third maybe skyla? Or Sonia

First, haven't started it yet

[keen jasper]

Plan who you should save for round 4

[elder talon]

You mean pairs or e4 member?

[keen jasper]

Technically both, but mainly the E4

[elder talon]

I feel like Sydney might be the easier one from what I've seen people say

[keen jasper]

Well, if you don't lower Sidney's Sp. Atk. and not cure the paralysis, then Sidney after his first sync will hurt like hell even without parameters

[elder talon]

Ah I see. I can use misty psyduck for the recovery, not sure about spa drop though

[keen jasper]

Sycamore is practically perfect for Sidney

Deals fairy-type damage with Moonblast which can also lower his Sp. Atk. and his TM cures all status effects

[elder talon]

Oh okay perfect

I'll try Drake with abomasnow kyurem swanna and be back

[tranquil pier]

Any ideas for phoebe?

[keen jasper]

Lower her attack as much as possible as she has Haymaker

She has no defensive entries

[tranquil pier]

Ok

[elder talon]

Okay yeah I definitely do not deal enough dmg lol

[keen jasper]

Did you grid your units?

[elder talon]

No I don't have enough orbs atm

I think I only have 7k

[keen jasper]

Did you grid Sycamore?

[elder talon]

No I think the only units I have gridded are zinnia, hop, Giovanni and roxanne

[keen jasper]

That's where your problem lies

[elder talon]

Yeah I'm aware, but there's not much I can do about it. Sync orbs take forever to gather

And I chose to grid the ones that helped me with events

[keen jasper]

Well, you can clear Glacia using either Silver or the free Blue/Arcanine

You just need a sun setter

[elder talon]

I have MC ninetales

[keen jasper]

Upgraded?

[elder talon]

It's at lv 100 I think, 3*

[keen jasper]

I think that will still do

[frosty axle]

Does Silver have EX?

[keen jasper]

Since you're only doing normal mode anyways

[frosty axle]

if not Sacred fire build is enough

[elder talon]

I'm praying that pmd has a way to farm sync orbs

[frosty axle]

You can save this when you got orbs to do it

[sick inlet]

[chrome scroll]

only got my 10k this week thanks to @frosty axle ❤️

sorry for the ping

but had to thank you

[keen jasper]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind

[chrome scroll]

phoebe was so painful

[keen jasper]

Drake was the most painful for me

[chrome scroll]

then i just put lucian on the team and she exploded lol

i had no problems with drake, even used special units

lugia too stronk

[keen jasper]

I used SS Ethan on Sidney

Along with Sycamore and Hop

[chrome scroll]

i've stalled the hell out of sidney

his moves did literally 0 dmg

[keen jasper]

Did you cure the paralysis?

[sacred mountain]

Should I post units and y'all can help me make teams for CS?

[keen jasper]

Go ahead

[chrome scroll]

i don't think so

was running viola koga leaf (eevee)

and eevee had no friend mend

[sacred mountain]

I can EX SSteven

[frosty axle]

it's fine and congratulations

[keen jasper]

Has anyone done striker Gyarados for Steven?

[frail canyon]

@keen jasper @marsh vault

Dont have enough orbs for super effective in right side

[icy wraith]

So uhm how do you beat this gamemode

Ive only done it once quite some time ago but idk how to do it now

[keen jasper]

Get as much different types on the medal as possible

You get up to a maximum of 15/18 types on the first week and on the next week after that you unlock master mode with the 3 remaining types unused

[sacred mountain]

Elp

[icy wraith]

Ah

Too bad my team building skills are non existing

[keen jasper]

Well, you have Anniversary Lillie for Phoebe, Holiday Leon for Drake, literally any fire-type damage dealer will do for Glacia and Sycamore can trivialize Sidney's mechanics

[sacred mountain]

What's trivialize?

[chrome scroll]

ssmay/silver can do the work for glacia

[chrome scroll]

making them obsolete

[sacred mountain]

O

[keen jasper]

Like make it significantly easier

[sacred mountain]

Okk

[chrome scroll]

just use sycamore's trainer move right before he syncs

[keen jasper]

Sycamore can lower Sp. Atk. with Moonblast which Sidney gets multipliers from and his TM cures paralyze which Sidney will do before his first sync, Sidney's abilities will also get multipliers from paralyzed enemies

[chrome scroll]

and you should be fine

[tacit matrix]

Do you mean in general or with budget supports

[keen jasper]

Any team

[tacit matrix]

Oh yeah then I did it

Pretty fun

[keen jasper]

I saw a striker Gyarados hit for 25k with SS Kris and Lucian

It was pretty funny

[tacit matrix]

Ye I did 22k using May and SS Kris

SS Kris is insane for huge hyper beams

[grim bridge]

Ok I managed to clear round 2 with silver,misty and starmie, and ss Erika should I do Sydney or phobe for round 3?

[keen jasper]

That's a hard one, they both do hybrid attacks and both of their sync is physical

Sycamore should be saved for Sidney

[quaint solar]

What 2K parameters people are using to win master mode anyone

[keen jasper]

That would depend on your team

[grim bridge]

Whichever you recommend honestly

[keen jasper]

Do you still have Ghetsis?

[grim bridge]

I do

[manic mica]

Csmm round 4 against Sydney
Have tried but I can barely scratch him with his paralize
Which 3 of these are best against him?
Thanks

[keen jasper]

Have you used Sycamore?

[keen jasper]

Ok then, Sidney round 3 and Phoebe round 4

For Phoebe, you just need to lower her attack to prevent damage from Haymaker

Sidney like I said, you need to lower his Sp. Atk. and cure paralyze from your team to prevent him from having extra multipliers

[crystal notch]

As a new player, should I even do normal in the first place?

I'm a bit confused, to be honest.

[keen jasper]

Normal mode?

[crystal notch]

Definitely don't have 15 sync pairs ready obviously

But yeah

Normal mode

I know full well hard is out of reach

Wait uh

Ok I might have gotten confused

Lemme open the app

[keen jasper]

Not if you get more units

[crystal notch]

And clarify

[keen jasper]

You don't need 15 types, you can do 11 this week and get the other 7 next week

[crystal notch]

ah, er, whooops, turns out current hoenn is hard mode - I meant not master mode

[keen jasper]

Yes, not master mode is still normal mode

[grim bridge]

Ok so vs Sidney use sycamore ghetsis and?

[crystal notch]

Whatever this is.

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis for Phoebe

[grim bridge]

Oh ok then uh who should I use to lower Sidney's sp atk

[keen jasper]

Sycamore using Moonblast and his TM cures paralyze for the team

[crystal notch]

so uh, how many points do I aim for? how does this even work (in a 'what do you mean save 7 for next week' sense)

[grim bridge]

Even if you can only manage a little it's worth it for the champions spirits and power up tickets I think

[keen jasper]

Points would depend on your team. And judging by that picture, you haven't unlocked master mode yet, so you have yet to worry about the points accumulation there

[crystal notch]

yeah, definitely not master mode
so do I just chip away at what I have now?

[keen jasper]

Just get as much types as you can on the medal

[elder talon]

Given that you've been playing as long as I have it might be difficult

I can barely even damage them

[crystal notch]

I've been playing for 3 days, so clearly I've played even less

you're 8 days iirc?

[elder talon]

I feel like CS is kind of locked behind a good amount of sync orbs

Oh yeah then you've played for less. I thought you'd been playing a week

Then definitely not doable

Just pray that pmd has a way to farm sync orbs and we'll be able to do it

[grim bridge]

Do I need to change his grid then for the tm refresh and increased chance of lowering stats with moon blast then? Running a leech horn build rn from villa

[keen jasper]

Do you still have Hop available?

You also don't need MP refresh on Sycamore's TM

[grim bridge]

I do yes

[crystal notch]

oh well, will be back in a week!

[keen jasper]

Good, then it's Sycamore, Hop and a damage dealer

[crystal notch]

see yall

[grim bridge]

Ah ok wasn't sure if I'd need to remove para more then once

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-felicia-family-guy-adult-swim-keizo-is-gay-itorou-takaru-is-a-gey-boi-gif-12983802

[crystal notch]

[keen jasper]

The only time Sidney does paralyze is before his first sync

[grim bridge]

Would Valerie work or should I not worry about using a fairy type

[keen jasper]

I've seen some clears on Sidney using Mina

Though you're welcome to try Valerie out

[keen jasper]

Also, Sidney doesn't have any defensive entries so use whatever damage dealer you want

[grim bridge]

Who do you think would be best ? Also who am I using with ghetsis vs phobe

[keen jasper]

Best for who?

[grim bridge]

You said use any damage dealer for sidney

[keen jasper]

Ah

Zinnia is probably your best option here

Does she have Dauntless?

[grim bridge]

She doesn't but I can try giving it to her I have some cookies

[keen jasper]

Try to give her Dauntless for Draco Meteor

[grim bridge]

Sounds good and then who should I use with ghetsis for phobe need to see if I need to farm exp books I'm low

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis is mainly there to debuff Phoebe, you might also need a defensive supporter

[quaint solar]

The 2K pre sync parameters I am using in the pin is getting killed quick

[keen jasper]

?

NVM, I gotta go to sleep now

[tulip snow]

I need to get 1.4k on sidney and Phoebe, anything that can do that?

The only really broken units I have left are SS Lyra, Lucas, and SS Leaf other than the ones I’m saving for Wallace

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/good-night-chat-jirachi-pokemon-cute-gif-24421725

[grim bridge]

Roxanne? And maybe Giovanni for shadow ball as damager?

[quaint solar]

The parameters that's in the pin

[toxic cobalt]

Just use Giovanni for Phoebe and stall Sidney

[manic mica]

Yes man
Sycamore moon blast grid, gloria zacian 1/5 and Caitlin sableye 2/5

But it's not working

[north crown]

1. Defensively Overkill
2. Where’s crit buffs?

[lunar meadow]

Isn't Mewtwo weak to ghost?
I can't remember his weakness, but that would be bad lol

[lone spruce]

Anyone else make this mistake. ?

[plush tangle]

Just use ghost zone right before your sync smh

[toxic cobalt]

He never gets hit

[frosty axle]

His weakness is dark

I never had issues with Mewtwo but didn't use a zone

[quaint solar]

What 2K parameters people are using to win championship stadium. The ones in the pin are not working out for me

[frosty axle]

its in the pin I use post sync one

I show mine in my videos what I use

[toxic cobalt]

I use full attack usually. Only +5 strength, the rest is attack.

[frosty axle]

so you skip the +6 strength

[quaint solar]

You have a video if you clicking each parameter

[frosty axle]

its in all my Stadium runs

[quaint solar]

Just finished watching a part of your videos and it looks like the parameters your using is post syc but how come your taking less damage and is syncing 2 times before that opponent sync

[frosty axle]

that's called quad queuing where you get an extra move before the enemy after your sync

are you using the same levels and grids plus lucky skills?

[quaint solar]

My levels are 135. Prop not the same sync grids as yours but it should be doing the job. I'm taking way more damage that you compared in the video watched

[frosty axle]

You should be taking similar there is not much difference between 135 and 140

if you can post a video of a run I would love to see

[quaint solar]

Ok. Hold up

[quaint solar]

You have your parameters in a txt file a can get. Feel like the ones I am using is making the opponents hit way 2 hard

[quaint solar]

Here is 1

[quaint solar]

Here is 2

[tacit matrix]

@keen jasper Funny unit

It's even still at 4*

[quaint solar]

How did you 2k here

[tacit matrix]

I never used Morty

[lunar meadow]

Morty has a good sync nuke.
He benefits a lot from EX for MM clears

[random moth]

Same

I used BP morty tho 😂

[quaint solar]

Who did you use to get passed her

[clever bronze]

Round 1 vs drake

I don’t think this can beat drake

[shadow tartan]

Whats a good f2p team againsy sidney?

[toxic cobalt]

Mina or stall

[clever bronze]

would candice ghetsis skyla be better?

against drake

[toxic cobalt]

You’d get a bit more defence but not sure it’d be better

[clever bronze]

These are my planned teams.

Was planning drake r1 sidney r2 phoebe r3 glacia r4

r1 drake to take advantage of phys damage up for candice but she needs two nukes to ko mid

[dusty crater]

what move level is Hala?

[clever bronze]

1/5

[dusty crater]

that's why, you don't have any multipliers from Hala in Hail.

[clever bronze]

oh

so ghetsis then?

[dusty crater]

Hala only gets powered up in hail at 3/5, and he gets to move faster at 2/5 iirc

Ghestsis would be better overall, but again, Ghetsis gets no power ups from Hail either

[clever bronze]

candice can nuke mid and skyla and ghetsis can outlast and deal with garchomps

[dusty crater]

actually yikes.

ghetsis would be worse

Ice Weak Drake has Wise Entry x2

[clever bronze]

ik

but i've seen the team recommended

[toxic cobalt]

Recommended because it works, not necessarily that it’s better than Hala

[dusty crater]

what are the units you have? a rain or Sun team would be better here for this

aka offtyping

[trail smelt]

Lmao did I seriously see someone suggest a freeze team

[dusty crater]

I'm fairly certain you can beat 2k with an offtype SSerika Morty Ho-oh and Lyra.

[blazing narwhal]

r u looking for another offtype team?

[clever bronze]

i'm using mo-oh for glacia

ss erika ss lyra is free

[dusty crater]

that works too. just makes sure you can have a tank as well.

[clever bronze]

skyla?

[dusty crater]

Lillietea or Faitlin can work too

[clever bronze]

lillietea ruins quad queue

[dusty crater]

you don't really need to worry about quadqueuing when SSerika has Propulsion under sun

[clever bronze]

I think it can work against drake

how is zerena lucas piers for sidney?

[grim bridge]

Who should I use against Steven and what additional parameter should I pick?

[dusty crater]

I'd replace Piers with Sonia or Kiawe.

[blazing narwhal]

palkia, presync

[dusty crater]

the biggest thing you need from Zerena/Lucas is speed, and/or MGA.

those two can provide that much better than Piers

even at 1/5

[clever bronze]

does sonia ruin quad queue?

kiawe does because of his mga

[grim bridge]

Who should I run with them and by pre sync do you mean pick the sync move reduction parameter

[dusty crater]

I run Kiawe with Adrenaline, not Vigilance

[blazing narwhal]

do u have suicune

[clever bronze]

I didn't do lg

[dusty crater]

adrenaline ignores the need for quad queueing, but with a stacked team like that, i don't think you even need to worry about quad queueing

if you can't quad queue, you can always turn deny the left enemy just before they use a move

and with the amount of power Zerena has with Lucas, you won't have any problem with that

[clever bronze]

idk how to turn deny

[dusty crater]

just faint the enemy before they attack.

when they faint before attacking, any move after them would go next, and they would have to requeue a move. giving you more turns for sync countdown

[grim bridge]

This is the 5*s I got left plus darch and blue Arcanine

[clever bronze]

I usually use phoebe with zerena and lucas because of dire hit+ all but she has a dark weakness

piers is the next best thing

[north crown]

I think you can turn deny with candice sync + hammer

If not solely the sync then with ice hammer it definetly can

[north crown]

You have classic red or sselesa?

[clever bronze]

ss elesa

i tried for cred

[dusty crater]

is this Master Mode or regular?

[clever bronze]

only got 3/5 diantha and had to pity ingo

[blazing narwhal]

cyrus, winona, ssblue

[north crown]

You could try doing sselesa, zerena, lucas for taking an entire turn off

[clever bronze]

what's the move order?

[blazing narwhal]

it would help if u had ex blue tho

[grim bridge]

Regular

[north crown]

TM TM TM
Dire Hit +, Breathtaking, Zone

Head start + BT combo for sync cooldown

[dusty crater]

breathtaking on Zerena
TM
TM

Spatk up
Direhitall+
Roar of time

Spatk up
Thousand Waves
Dragon Zone

Sync with Zerena @clever bronze

[blazing narwhal]

oh regular is np for palkia. just use blue tm twice

[clever bronze]

no headstart on ss elesa

[grim bridge]

Thank you uh which extra parameter also?

[north crown]

Zerena has head start as passive

[clever bronze]

I was considering that too

[blazing narwhal]

faster move guage

[north crown]

Seriously I think you can turn deny left side on turn 4 with this team

[clever bronze]

Need a double nuke for mid

with candice

[north crown]

Isn’t that what Hala is for..?

[clever bronze]

I only do 9k on mid no follow through

[north crown]

He does good damage even at 1/5

Ice hammer spam

Also you get an extra ice hammer cuz of denial

[clever bronze]

what params?

I copied eevee's in his alt teams video

did he copy that from pin?

[grizzled hearth]

Theoretically yes, though modifications can be made to suit your style

[clever bronze]

I usually presync

[grizzled hearth]

So go with the presync parameters

[clever bronze]

but power hit 1 and 2 and phys damage up against drake

idk man

[grizzled hearth]

Well, it assumes that you can either take the hits or deal with the opponent before that becomes a problem

[clever bronze]

drake uses brutal swing and earthquake

candice hala hilbert have no defense buffs besides shielded 1

[grizzled hearth]

So it's your choice if you want to go through with that

[clever bronze]

I'm asking for what params?

you're not helping

[grizzled hearth]

Like I said, modifications are to be made to suit the battle

Just go with an all strength build if you're worried

[north crown]

Wait can’t you replace hilbert with another crit support like phoebe?

[clever bronze]

can you tell me why

candice has guaranteed crit in hail

crit for hala?

[north crown]

Oh I just assumed you had 3/5 hilbert mb

[clever bronze]

yeah

5/5 hilbert

[grizzled hearth]

Hilbert would be better for this though?

Wait actually

[north crown]

Wait if you’re building both your ice units with self sufficiency grids, shouldn’t you focus on defensive/speedy supports?

[clever bronze]

hala is 1/5 no grid

[north crown]

He has Tm + dire hit+

Just need speed

[clever bronze]

i thought I was spamming ice hammer with him

tm ice hammer spam

[grizzled hearth]

Well he doesn't want speed

[dusty crater]

why not use Dire Hit +

you're losing out on damage output if you don't have crit.

[clever bronze]

so skyla hala candice?

hilbert gives crit from tm

[grizzled hearth]

So just have Hilbert increase his crit and then have Hala spam Ice Hammer

[dusty crater]

you can switch candice out with someone else. Hala isn't gaining anything from hail at 1/5.

[north crown]

But you gridded candice for self sufficiency

Basically making hilbert redundant

[dusty crater]

unless you're wanting to sync nuke with Candice

[grizzled hearth]

Or rather, I'd say Hala should be taken out, I feel like Candice should take care of this herself

[grizzled hearth]

Yeah, feels like this should be a Candice solo nuker

[clever bronze]

what's candice going to do against the two garchomps?

ice punch?

[grizzled hearth]

Yeah, they're not that dangerous outside of sandstorm anyhow

[clever bronze]

it's round 1

phys damage up

[grim bridge]

That worked great thanks

[grizzled hearth]

I know, they're still not that dangerous

[blazing narwhal]

nice one

[grizzled hearth]

For longer lasting, go for an all strength parameter, that'll help carry you through the battle without taking too much damage by the end

I'd suggest Skyla, Hilbert and Candice

If you think you don't need them later

[clever bronze]

isn't that overkill?

candice did 9k first sync no super preparation to mid

[grizzled hearth]

If you think that then replace Hilbert with another crit buffer

[clever bronze]

need two nukes

i didn't look at with super prep

[grizzled hearth]

You're gonna need that crit rate for the Garchomps

[grizzled hearth]

Then you won't need Hala

[clever bronze]

that's low

I'll try candice skyla hilbert

do I go post sync param from pin?

[grizzled hearth]

Maybe actually replace Hilbert for this

You might want him later

[grizzled hearth]

Yes but obviously change some stuff if needed

[clever bronze]

what's wrong with using hala?

[grizzled hearth]

In this case he's not really helping too much I feel, especially since he's 1/5

If you think he's still good here, then I suggest Skyla, Hala and Candice

[clever bronze]

candice does no damage from ice punch

[grizzled hearth]

Which is why I suggested the crit buffer

[trail smelt]

Candice is mostly there for Hail and Nuke

Iirc her grid has guaranteed sync Crit? Not sure

[clever bronze]

yes

what will she do against the two garchomps?

[grizzled hearth]

Like I said, ice punch, I'm sure having crit on ice punch will do well

Let me try this out to confirm myself

[clever bronze]

Do it r1

[grizzled hearth]

I am

I did it

As long as you don't let Drake sync the garchomps do very little against you

[clever bronze]

Is candice ex?

[grizzled hearth]

Nope

I didn't even have super effective up on

2 syncs and drake's done

[clever bronze]

What did your two syncs do

[grizzled hearth]

10000 something on the first one, 16000-18000 on the second

Mine is 5 starred though

[clever bronze]

Mine is too

What params did you use

[grizzled hearth]

Full strength, with ally hp down

Meaning 11 strength instead of the full 12

For reference this is my grid

The heavy hail probably makes a difference

Though I will say, ice punch is not good dps against the sides

[grizzled hearth]

But as long as you take out the mid before it syncs, they'll do nothing with plus 6 defense

[orchid pasture]

so uh

i accidentaly took Phoebe to round 4 what do i do now

[grizzled hearth]

I saw this earlier, the fact that you didn't make use of super effective up is probably why you didn't do as much

[grizzled hearth]

Do you know how to poison stall?

[clever bronze]

I did once

It procced once

[grizzled hearth]

Here, this is how I did it

Though, you'd want to actually quadqueue after sync instead of relying on flinch like I did, I just got lucky on that one

I also forgot to actually show my paramters

As you can see, if Drake doesn't sync, the sides barely do anything

And hopefully you have better luck than I do with not getting crit by them

[quaint solar]

You have a video for phoebe?

[grizzled hearth]

No, this one was specifically for this situation

Cuz they were using candice

[quaint solar]

What parameters are you using. The parameters in the pin is getting me killed quickly

[clever bronze]

Drake r1 done. Should I do sidney or phoebe r2? Doing glacia r4

I think adrenaline ssblue can bypass special reduction in r3 right?

[shadow tartan]

whats a good stall team?

[quaint solar]

Your doing master mode?

[simple storm]

Xern ss leaf ss blue

[shadow tartan]

I already used ss blue is there someone else?

[simple storm]

Any tank

[dense lintel]

Psyduck/ SS Leaf / Janine

[simple storm]

That works

Xern instead of psyduck is better

[dense lintel]

I used psyduck mainly for defensive buffs + Potions but ig recuperation + Horn leech also works

[shadow tartan]

ok cant believe I have to ask this but whats a good team against glacia?

[sick inlet]

Harsh sun light, puts things on fire, everything turns to ash

[shadow tartan]

I tried SS Erika / SS Red / Lyra and it didnt work

[sick inlet]

Lyra cannot tank for long enough for you to get going

Sadly, Lyra is a squishy support

[drowsy parrot]

Any tips for the current champion stadium?

[simple storm]

win

[drowsy parrot]

SMH

[grand trout]

Which stage do you need help? Who are your units?

Give us deets

[drowsy parrot]

From the beginning and let me screenshot what I got

[simple storm]

yep we need more info

[wheat bronze]

Remember that toxic stalling is always an option

[simple storm]

do u know how to teambuild, triple and quadqueue

first of all

[drowsy parrot]

Negative

[simple storm]

ah

+101

[frozen depot]

Teambuilding 101:

Step 1: pick a damage dealer ( / or with high damage)

• take a look at their moveset; note what they buff themselves in terms of offensive stats (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer)

Step 2: picking appropriate for your damage dealer

• take a look at your through the filter option and the Known Moves tab and pick two teammates that fill in what your damage dealer is missing (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer )

Addendum: if your damage dealer's needs can be filled in with only one support, then your third team slot is more flexible and you can choose defensive (potions, buffing defenses, lowering attack) or a second damage dealer

[simple storm]

read this

[drowsy parrot]

Oh I get the team build but not the triple/quad queue

[simple storm]

triple queue is just using 1 move on each pokemon

[grand trout]

Oh you should practice it

[grand steppe]

Triple Queue is just using 3 moves each turn/cycle

[grand trout]

It's key for successful runs

[drowsy parrot]

Oh ok

[simple storm]

quad queue is using a move as soon as u end your sync before the oponent has queued another one

[grand trout]

You queue up moves before the opponent does another move

[simple storm]

i like to spam the move as soon as i end my sync

[grand trout]

You'd want turn order turned on for that

[grand steppe]

Here's a quad queue:
https://gfycat.com/negativeunhealthyasianelephant
Right after you queue a sync move, you queue your other 2 moves.
Then immediately after the sync move, you queue with that Trainer to get a 4th move in.

[drowsy parrot]

Oh I see

[grand steppe]

Notice how Gyro Ball, is queued before the enemy's facade?

That's a quad queue.

[shadow tartan]

its really good because it stops the enemy from getting another move off before your next sync

[grand steppe]

There is a window of opprotunity after your sync move to queue another move. but it's very small, I recommend turning the game speed down and spamming the button

However, it is not always possible to do this. Depending on what field effects or sync pairs you're using.

[simple storm]

gives u enough moves to sync TWICE before oponent syncs even once

[grand trout]

Thrice if support is exed

[simple storm]

which can do either 2 nukes or 1 support ex (double dmg) and 1 nuke

[grand steppe]

If something like weather or gauge acceleration fades while your sync is queued, then you can't do a quad.
Or if a passive effect is triggered, either by the enemy or your sync pair (like defense crush / team shout) then you can't quad either.

[drowsy parrot]

But yea when it comes to the recommended units to use I really don’t have any

[grand steppe]

How new to the game are you?

[drowsy parrot]

I’m far from new just getting back into it but my goal is to ex my red & charzard. And the only way to do that is by actually winning in the champion stadium

I was able to get Brendan/Latios and Steven/Deoxys recently but all my 5 star ex units are 1/5

[grand steppe]

Have you taken a look at some of the videos by Thegamingeevee? he does clears with the free gacha units:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM5TWSIMbnM

[drowsy parrot]

Oh I’ll take a look thank you!

[grand steppe]

He plays at x1 speed so you can follow along, or you can just speed up the video on YT.

[north crown]

if SSRed 1/5:

• bring specially bulky pair as tank
  if SSRed 2-3/5:
• bring either Hop, 3/5 Hilbert, 3/5 Sonia, or anyone else who buffs max attack (+ a little bit of crit) for the team

teambuilding 101

don't know what else to tell you

[shadow tartan]

I can try my hilbert but I think my problem is im on sync countdowns half, but I already did it with hop erika and red

[north crown]

??

[shadow tartan]

what

like the round 4 parameters

[north crown]

did you already beat round 4 or what?

[shadow tartan]

no

I saved this one till last

[north crown]

what move level is ssred?

[shadow tartan]

3

[north crown]

EXed?

[simple storm]

set sun buff quick nuke with red

ez

[north crown]

ah should've asked if he was ex in the same question

[shadow tartan]

yes

[north crown]

Hilbert TM, SSRed TM, SSErika X Speed
Hilbert TM, SSRed TM, SSErika Sunny Day
[SSRed Sync]

that should end the stage

as long as Hilbert and SSred have good grids

[drowsy parrot]

I’m currently trying to mimic this guy’s sync grid for the free to play

[north crown]

who's? link?

[drowsy parrot]

The gaming eevee

[north crown]

ah

UHHHhhh..

He has 2 videos with different sets of teams

which one..?

[shadow tartan]

the red nuke didnt 1 shot but it still worked

[north crown]

exactly

SSRed nuke is still broken to this day

and you have cyrus for steven

ez clap

[shadow tartan]

no im not f2p

[north crown]

well even better

[shadow tartan]

I have 3/5 archie :)

[north crown]

yeah you don't need to be here

glad I was able to help you

[drowsy parrot]

Lmao

[shadow tartan]

I dont know how I couldnt beat glacia

[drowsy parrot]

The one they just posted for the champion stadium clear

[north crown]

just know that Hilbert, SSRed, SSErika team is basically a free w. Stupid overkill.

[north crown]

thing is, they posted 2

for the same week

[shadow tartan]

but I have weird lacks of pairs, still dont have a non f2p fairy poison or ice

striker

[north crown]

stall if that ever happens

[north crown]

oh I'm stupid that's for p2w

lemme check the f2p vid

[shadow tartan]

well i never stalled on 2000 so I guess I just thought that wasnt possible

[north crown]

stalling doesn't change much from 1.5k to 2k

trust me on this one

@drowsy parrot what round are you on? Who did you beat already?

[drowsy parrot]

Nobody 🥲

[simple storm]

u have mina for fairy, koga for poison and ghetsis for ice

[north crown]

can't you just copy their entire roster then?

[shadow tartan]

mina has a grid?

[north crown]

unless there's a problem with sync orbs I don't see any reason to not copy gamingeevee's clears, especially cuz their videos are more newbie friendly than most others

[drowsy parrot]

Yea just me lacking orbs lol

[shadow tartan]

i actually ran out of sync orbs

[north crown]

the new influx of new players on anni be like:

[simple storm]

yep

and its a good one

[north crown]

@drowsy parrot do you have hop and/or mina gridded?

[drowsy parrot]

Hop yes Mina negative

Hop grid

[north crown]

crap

waitaminute @drowsy parrot are you on hard mode or MM?

I'm dumb I should've asked that first

[drowsy parrot]

Hard

[north crown]

OH THANK GOD

[drowsy parrot]

Lmao

[north crown]

tell me EVERY PAIR that you have gridded, and perhaps your entire roster/pair list. (make sure you screenshot in either the "level" or the "move level" page in the upgrade editor)

[drowsy parrot]

My roster

[north crown]

yeah I just found it

waitaminute it doesn't show the move level!!

[drowsy parrot]

Yea I’m working on it

Hop , mewtwo, and xerneas are the only ones I got fully gridded

[north crown]

oh.. so move levels wouldn't even matter...

[sick inlet]

You just trying to clear hard?

Going for all 18 types medal?

[north crown]

alright I'm going to teambuild for typing - you need to use all 18 types to unlock Master Mode, which TLDR unlocks more rewards

[sick inlet]

Aight, you take the stage sir

[north crown]

they state that they are playing CS for EXing, so I'm assuming that they want as many opportunities to EX

they already have 2 pairs ready to EX

[sick inlet]

Don't think you will need to EX anyone to beat hard mode

[north crown]

oh crap technically one since cyrus

but they want to ex SSRed so like

the more the merrier amiright?

[sick inlet]

Well Red gains good stats plus easy nuke sides

[simple storm]

more ex = less cringe

[north crown]

you could try teambuilding, as I have not started yet

or do you want them to teambuild for themselves?

[sick inlet]

I was gonna help if necessary, But I wouldn't mind going for a break

[north crown]

aight I'll take the stage then

yeah this person needs help

just checked their previous messages

[sick inlet]

You're probably gonna offtype 3 of the elite fours

2, forgot mewtwo exists

Don't force a 15 type, anything more than 10 should be fine, because you probably need to use that Deoxys to offstage some stage + the mewtwo to beat ghost.

[north crown]

Brb

[drowsy parrot]

Just trying to get the champion souls

[north crown]

Q: Does Half Sync param only apply to the first sync for both us and the opponent?

@drowsy parrot this is what I have so far:
Sidney - Hop / Mina / Masked Royal
Phoebe - Rosa / Giovanni / filler
Glacia - your choice
Drake - Dawn, Lucy, Leaf [OR] your choice
Steven - Phoebe, Cyrus, May

BEFORE YOU GO: Note that the parameters play a HUGE role in these fights. At the very least, don’t ignore them.

[drowsy parrot]

Yea I get that much though I wasn’t sure how to use it to my advantage

[north crown]

Example: Physical moves have damage increase (Round 1 Parameter)

Oh look! The Sidney planned team has Hop, Mina, and Masked Royal, which benefits from this parameter! (E.g: Via Mina’s Play rough + Sync)

I would tell you to worry about Sidney’s physical attacks, but hard mode doesn’t do too much damage, especially if fully gridded Hop is the tank

[mint cedar]

Anyone want to build me some teams for next week?

[simple storm]

+101

[frozen depot]

Teambuilding 101:

Step 1: pick a damage dealer ( / or with high damage)

[simple storm]

u can try and do them yourself and then ask for tips tbh

[mint cedar]

I tried to set up this week's last week and didn't do too well

[keen jasper]

And you have to plan which E4 you're gonna for each parameter

[mint cedar]

Ah good point, is there somewhere I can find that info?

[keen jasper]

That info is for you to find out

If you're really struggling, then ask all the questions you want

[north crown]

No need. You have everything you need to beat everything ontype + backup options

[frail canyon]

Please can anyone help me

Why does flygon have 3 turns instead of 5?

I lose cause of that

At start battle

[pale geode]

Who should I use to Off-Type Sidney

[north crown]

Have you been paying attention to the parameters?

[frail canyon]

Yes

[north crown]

Then you know the reason

[tired sleet]

You’re on round 4, which reduces starting sync countdowns by half

[grizzled hearth]

Full strength, though I end up with only 11 strength instead of the full 12

The other 900 points is from micellaneous stuff

Like ally move gauge down, ally hp down, no stat reduction, physical and special damage reduction, no status conditions and gradual healing

[frail canyon]

Omg Drake was so painful guys i had to reduce him to 1500 btw this my First Time reaching 9500

Dont rly care about last prize ig wouldnt have changed that much for me Just 10 token of that as reward

[toxic cobalt]

Well done!

[full mesa]

GG mate

[manic mica]

nice! im currently doing everyone on 1250. its still painful but hopefully someday i can go 2k MM.

[plush tangle]

Waiting for someone to do 3 of Blue/Cynthia/Lillie/May only 10k

[jaunty mason]

Here my Sync pairs and I don't know who to use

[keen jasper]

For who?

[manic kiln]

and i was right also schedule coming soon

[jaunty mason]

For the League

[manic kiln]

next month

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, Hala's damage against Drake is actually pretty good, and I don't even have CS2 on him

[keen jasper]

So Unova VA is next?

[plush tangle]

oh wait

you didn't see anything

[plush tangle]

Thank god it's not Sinnoh

[keen jasper]

I wonder if the Kalos CS will be even more challenging than the original

[toxic cobalt]

You fight 5 Sycamores

[manic kiln]

If they don’t add Kalos Cs then sinnoh will be back in November

[plush tangle]

Don't care, I just didn't want to have Hoenn THEN Sinnoh

[manic kiln]

[boreal holly]

inb4 they buff all the regions to match up Sinnoh's difficulty

[sullen torrent]

This is my current poison stall team and it simply isn't working. Can somebody help me out?

[true prism]

Skyla isn't a self sufficient tank, she relies on potion refreshes

Sycamore can horn leech forever

[sullen torrent]

I'll try him, then

Yeahhh even with sycamore, poison stall isn't working.

[grizzled hearth]

This isn't a good battle to do poison stall anyhow

Drake refreshes sandstorm after every sync, you're gonna take ludicrous damage each time

Which round is this?

[sullen torrent]

2nd

But if 3rd or 4th would be better i can save it for then

The issue is i don't have any good ice types. I have ghetsis, sure, but he's not really that great. And for hail setters, i only have Candace.

[true prism]

Candice is great for that drake, there are many f2p clears with her

And you can always off type as well

[grizzled hearth]

Ok first off Ghetsis is awesome

It's just that this round is specially defensive so he's rendered ineffective

[true prism]

Ive heard skyla Ghetsis Candice can clear it

[grizzled hearth]

And Candice by herself can clear this anyway'

[true prism]

The special defensive just makes it so that his damage is equal to physical off type, which is still a lot over time

[grizzled hearth]

I did this round with Hala, Hau and Sopheceles, though in the first round so that may not be as effective

Candice clears this pretty easily anyway, so it's fine

[toxic cobalt]

Ghetsis handled the sides fine even with wise entry. What a unit.

[gloomy laurel]

Need help on who to invest in to clear champion stadium. This will be my first rotation. I can post my roster

[toxic cobalt]

Hop and Sycamore

[toxic cobalt]

Definitely Hop and Sycamore

[elder talon]

I've been trying to 1st round Drake with candice, ghetsis and skyla and I just can't do it. Is there a video showing how to do it? My issue is that abomasnow gets destroyed by garchomp's eq

[toxic cobalt]

You don't need abomasnow once Drake is down, Ghetsis will finsih them off

[elder talon]

He barely does any dmg for me. He doesn't have grid

Do I just spam glaciate?

[toxic cobalt]

Yes. Not having a grid is aproblem

Does Skyla have a grid?

[elder talon]

Yeah ik but I don't have any sync orbs left

Yeah skyla and candice have minimal grid

[toxic cobalt]

Is this hard mode or master mode?

[elder talon]

Hard mode

I could also try him on another round if it might be easier

[toxic cobalt]

How minimal is this Candice grid exactly?

[elder talon]

I went with the minimal grid on the Google doc

Well less than that actually, to save sync orbs

I have the minimal grid shown except the ring around the start

[toxic cobalt]

no self respecting minimal grid has the ring around the start anyway

Okay so the problem here is the lack of orbs

You are able to take out drake with just Candice though right?

[elder talon]

Yeah pretty much

And skyla's boost too I guess

[toxic cobalt]

I think you should just ditch ghetsis then and get someone who helps

Do you have any other strong physical strikers available?

Preferably ones that can boost their own stats?

[elder talon]

These are all my pairs. I think the only physical striker I have that could do well is grimsley sharpedo

[toxic cobalt]

He is a good secondary striker. Won't be able to rely on him critting, but you will be able to rely on him hitting fast.

Hmm is your Zinnia gridded?

[elder talon]

Yeah she's fully gridded

[toxic cobalt]

She could work then. Grid her so she has eagle eye and you might be able to get up to +3 crit before your second sync

[elder talon]

Alright I'll give it a try ty

[kindred vine]

i’m sending this if you can help me with sidney

going for 1.2k run in mm

[keen jasper]

What round are you doing him?

[kindred vine]

round 3

[keen jasper]

Have you used Sycamore?

[kindred vine]

yeah

[keen jasper]

That's too bad

He could've really helped you for Sidney

[kindred vine]

oh sorry

it’s available

i thought you were asking if i tried with him

[keen jasper]

You mean you can still use Sycamore?

[kindred vine]

yeah

[keen jasper]

Oh nice

Definitely use him

[kindred vine]

but i don’t know who to use with him

[keen jasper]

I always use Sycamore with Hop

[kindred vine]

i also struggle with parameters

syca hop + ?

[keen jasper]

Damage dealer

I used SS Ethan, Sycamore and Hop against Sidney

[kindred vine]

i need to know if your idea is post sync or pre sync

don’t have ss ethan

[keen jasper]

I used the -2 enemy sync CD

Then replace him with one of your best damage dealers

[kindred vine]

could you choose someone from my list?

[keen jasper]

Well, Sidney doesn't have any defensive entries so you can pick whatever damage dealer suits you

[kindred vine]

physical or special?

[keen jasper]

Yes

Any damage dealer

Just make sure to remove paralysis and lower his special attack stat

[kindred vine]

round 3 has sp atk reduction so physical might be better

[keen jasper]

Because Sidney gets bonus multipliers when the target is paralyzed and he has special attack boost

The most worrying move from Sidney is Dark Pulse

[kindred vine]

hop is already used :((

[keen jasper]

Then I guess a crit buffer will do

[kindred vine]

ok, i’ll try

[keen jasper]

Sycamore can deal damage while also lowering Sidney's special attack

[kindred vine]

destroyed him

[keen jasper]

Excellent

[keen jasper]

But how many points?

[kindred vine]

1.2k

[keen jasper]

You can probably do 2k since you easily destroyed Sidney

[elder talon]

Ok ended up going with Sydney first instead of Drake and he got destroyed

Might do glacia next

[keen jasper]

Who are you saving round 4 for?

[manic mica]

managed to up from 1k every stage to 1,250 every stage. i might be able to do 1.5k but

[toxic cobalt]

You can do it!

[manic mica]

glacia really screwing me over

maybe i should candy red..

[toxic cobalt]

Glacia is all special attack and you have no special defence there

[manic mica]

i got roxanne's spdef grid

[toxic cobalt]

ooooh

[manic mica]

its 3 spdef up with mp refreshes

on everyone*

[toxic cobalt]

I guess that might be enough

[manic mica]

problem rn is rng crits from blizzards for blaine

barely have any cookies for vigi

[keen jasper]

It's practically RNG if the enemy does AoE attacks

You just better pray they buff or Glacia does Draining Kiss

[manic mica]

yeah..
