also i wonder if i can off type with sidney
#Champion Stadium
keen jasper
i always end up with sycamore last and spamming horn leeches lmao
You need to use Sycamore's Moonblast to prevent the multipliers from Furious Brain
And also use his TM to cure the paralyze
manic mica
yeah i save it for the para
keen jasper
And like I said, lower Sidney's Sp. Atk.
Dark Pulse can one-shot Sycamore even if he has full health and +6 Sp. Def. if you don't lower Sidney's Sp. Atk.

Beating any stage feels insanely hard
I feel like I can't even do 1500 parameters this time
Having to use rain teams on glacia to simply increase my odds felt sour
keen jasper
I feel like I can't even do 1500 parameters this time
This CS has been really quite challenging yeah
I've invested into Hala for Drake and I didn't let it go for nothing, Hala's damage is actually very impressive
summer flare
I might end up pulling on Groudon or Kyogre at this point
I don't have hals
Hala*
I also don't have an actually good sun setter
keen jasper
Well I guess Candice can be your option for Drake
true prism
Maybe see some f2p guide you can follow
toxic cobalt
FYI this was my f2p #1011675077764456519 message
There were some others posted too at various points
Sadly they get archived after one day and I'm not sure how much you can see
summer flare
I could try, though if I need Giovanni's Ex, I'm screwed
toxic cobalt
Just use non f2p pairs. The f2p is the baseline, you can add better units in.
summer flare
Killing sides has been my issue
toxic cobalt
Well you can always hope for Giovanni to dodge!
summer flare
Tried to swap Cyrus for 2/5 may and I'm almost using a tech candy to get past this hell
May kills the sides, but lacks raw power to kill the middle
Cyrus kills the middle but dies to the sides
Using both would murder my gauge
true prism
for the last battle?
toxic cobalt
Why are you hitting the sides firsT/
true prism
cyrus is deadly under rain, just bring rain and a crit support
summer flare
I was just using muddy water with may
toxic cobalt
Ah
summer flare
So the sides died through colateral dmg
toxic cobalt
Surprised Cyrus dies to the sides. He should one or two shot them.
In rain almost certainly one shot
summer flare
He two shots them
But they just alternate between who's going to blizzard
So he just takes too much damage
true prism
you can't take sides first?
summer flare
No, because that turns the middle into the blizzard spammer
toxic cobalt
You probably could but also with two shots you should only get hit twice or something
Time it for denials
true prism
steven uses blizzard?
toxic cobalt
Cyrus has a lot of HP
summer flare
I think I could try Roxanne for the extra spdef
So it would be Cyrus Roxanne SS kris
icy wraith
Can someone help me teambuilding for this champion stadium thing
I dont know how to do it

So it would be Cyrus Roxanne SS kris
This is for the Champ?

Non-EX Silver can still destroy Glacia

I wish eggmons have grids, but that would take a lot effort right?
keen jasper
Or does it not matter?
What matters is who you face in round 4
keen jasper
Actually, all of them are hard in round 4, but IMO, I find Glacia to be the easiest
Drake and Sidney are monsters after their first sync
icy wraith
Even in hard mode?
keen jasper
Even in hard mode?
Yes
icy wraith
keen jasper
For Drake, you must bring a weather setter to prevent sandstorm activation and Sidney, you need to lower his Sp. Atk. and cure paralyze to not make him deal monstrous damage
Sidney's Dark Pulse can one-shot your tank even with +6 Sp. Def. assuming you don't lower his Sp. Atk.
icy wraith
I dont have that
thorny island
Am I able to do any of these E4?
keen jasper
Or you can use Sycamore for Sidney
toxic cobalt
Sidney is weak to debuffs though?
rigid latch
Am I able to do any of these E4?
Level up hala for drake
keen jasper
Because Sycamore has Moonblast that lowers Sp. Atk. and his TM can cure paralyze
toxic cobalt
He stalled very very easily
rigid latch
Sidney is weak to debuffs though?
Yeah spattack debuffs
toxic cobalt
Get that down and he doesn't hit hard at all
keen jasper
Get that down and he doesn't hit hard at all
Only if you lower his Sp. Atk.
thorny island
Level up hala for drake
Ooh nice I just got him td too, good luck for me
icy wraith
I just summon cuz characters are cool
keen jasper
Hala does excellent damage against Drake, and mine doesn't have CS2
toxic cobalt
Only if you lower his Sp. Atk.
Everyone has viola !

Not to mention his nuke destroys the stage

Time to check every single unit in my box who does what

Do you have a sun setter?

Only the striker type really matters
icy wraith
Do you have a sun setter?
Uh yeah morty
icy wraith
Ok glacia should be easy then
keen jasper
That's what I also used in one of my clears
keen jasper
Ok glacia should be easy then
Unless she spams AoE attacks
icy wraith
She can do AoE?
keen jasper
She can do AoE?
Yes, Blizzard and Icy Wind
toxic cobalt
I still think she'll be easy with that team
keen jasper
But outside of that, she's pretty easy assuming RNGesus doesn't curse you with back-to-back Blizzard
icy wraith
Do they use weather too
toxic cobalt
Glacia and drake do, so it's important to combat their weather with your weather
keen jasper
Do they use weather too
Yes, preemptive Hail and Hail is reapplied before Glacia's first sync
For Glacia at least
icy wraith
Wait arent i supposed to fill up that type medal thingy
keen jasper
Wait arent i supposed to fill up that type medal thingy
Yeah, but you can unlock master mode the next time Hoenn CS comes back
Or you can unlock it next week
icy wraith
Oh
rigid latch
She can do AoE?
Glacia spams AoE
icy wraith
So no rush?
rigid latch
It’s so annoying
keen jasper
So no rush?
Kinda if you don't want the master mode rewards
toxic cobalt
So no rush?
Do what you can this week, takes two weeks minimum anyway
icy wraith
What are the master mode rewards?
toxic cobalt
tacit matrix
Without knowing your teams it's impossible to answer
Last should be the easier one for your units

So no rush?
you should unlock (fill medals with all 18 types) ASAP
summer flare
After trying even half ally mp to see if I could give me easier parameters to beat glacia with silver
I feel like it can't be done even though it can
I was much closer to beating it through offtype water
summer flare
I also tried referring to the clears in 10k, but I don't know the parameters or lucky skills used
Didn't get close when I tried
full mesa
Lucky skills are usually the same as the recommended in the sync grid guide. For parameters check the pins are experiment by yourself.
summer flare
At this point I'm getting tired of failing
Like, I can't beat any stage this week
Glacia was the only one that was close and it was through off typing
Because I can't get silver to deal damage
chrome scroll
do you have silver EX?
and maybe SS morty EX?
she is physical weak, take away the status condition parameter, use sacred fire and burn her
then you should be ok to second sync with silver
you can even do it pre sync with quadqueue

*yeah sorry I forgot that but yeah thanks I’ll go try it out
summer flare
So I finally managed to beat glacia 1500
Used post sync parameters and off typed the whole stuff because my sun teams should be renamed to sin teams
I don't even have misty's 3/5 for the f2p team, or the lucky skills
So I slammed a rain comp
The winning team was SS Kris, Cyrus and roxanne
scarlet narwhal
So… does nessa work as a striker and how does one go about using her
Considering her for Steven
My other phys options are feraligatr and sharpedo
toxic cobalt
You click her attack over and over until the enemy is dead
scarlet narwhal
Do you need to use jaw lock or

Using mewtwo against Phoebe means presync only, right?

I tried this team and lowered his sp atk. But he ohkoed me in his first sync

Oh his Sync is physical iirc
But gets multiplier if his special attack is boosted
FWIW i beat Sidney with a similar team, though I opted for SS Blue instead of Sycamore
EX 1/5 CIris, 1/5 Diantha, EX 3/5 SS Blue
I made damn well sure Sidney was at -6 -6 offense wise before he sync'd
What parameters are you using?

main falcon
Trying to clear Phoebe (hard mode) on Round 4. I thought I could just have Morty & Drifblim use a quick sync move and then win with Explosion if that didn't finish the job, but it wasn't anywhere close. I also tried a round with Deoxys since I figured it has a good sync move and would benefit from being able to sync quickly.
Other Ghost type users I have include Giovanni & Mewtwo (4/5, not EX), Fantina & Mismagius (1/5), and Gladion & Silvally (1/5)
I might be able to do something with Sygna Suit Giovanni, since I can use the Max Move and the Sync Move early on?
I could also try posting a list of all my 5* Strike/Tech pairs to see if I'm overlooking anything
true prism
What did you use with steve
keen jasper
Trying to clear Phoebe (hard mode) on Round 4. I thought I could just have Morty...
You see, Phoebe has Haymaker, which means her sync gets more damage when her Atk. is increased
So you kinda need someone to lower to her Atk. stat
true prism
I feel like Steve should be able to presync right even round 4 since you can max rising tide by turn 2
main falcon
What did you use with steve
i was just testing it out, so i just had stuff to buff defences and stuff.
This did make me realize I am kinda incredibly dumb and own Musharna for Psychic Terrain
I will try that out 😆
i think i used roxanne and drake since they had both x sp def and x def all

ah i see
i was confusing ghetsis/kyurem's moveset with cyrus/palkia

i probably played during one of the old events or something but only right at the end and didnt have time to finish it
i will go check story mode

cant wait to mash through Hop for the 3rd time
keen jasper
Phoebe will do hybrid attacks before her first sync and she'll do all special attacks after her first sync
Sides will either do Shadow Ball or Heat Wave
true prism
But also with a very old account with no ex at all it seems like you must have no limited units too? Might be worth reroll ing if you're not too attached

Hi there, so i have been trying to get some clears on master mode done and its not going so well. i dont really know what buffs end debuffs to pick or what syn pairs to use or wich e4 member to start first. below i posted my syncs so any help would be greatly appriciated 🙂
keen jasper
First of all, your damage dealers:
Glacia: Red/Charizard, Blue/Arcanine or Silver
Drake: Hala or Summer Steven
Sidney: Sycamore with a damage dealer (off or on-type)
Phoebe: Giovanni/Mewtwo or off-type if cannot manage
Also, plan on who are you going to take on against in round 4
nocturne sand
alright, what abgout the buffs and debuffs. what do i select?
and i was thinking bringing cyrus and palkia for champion
ooh and what order do i do them
keen jasper
alright, what abgout the buffs and debuffs. what do i select?
The ones you need to worry about debuffs are Phoebe and Sidney
dusty path
does cyrus & palkia without the power up have hydro pump ramming speed?
keen jasper
Phoebe you need to lower her attack to prevent Haymaker bonus and Sidney need to lower special attack to prevent Furious Brain bonus
Drake and Glacia have weather gimmicks, so you need to remove the weather that doesn't suit them
toxic cobalt
does cyrus & palkia without the power up have hydro pump ramming speed?
Yes, his power up mostly improved his dragon
lusty mirage
Who can be my main dps vs steven? I got classic giovanni, sonia still available for support

Yamper for defense buffs and assuming if 3/5, crit buff too?
lusty mirage
Only have her at 1/5 sadly
keen jasper
No wait Classic Giovanni does crit buff already

What's Sonia for? Defense buff?
If so, replace for Skyla so that Cyrus will have Ramming Speed bonus

Ye i think i can pass the medal for now

For now i just want to beat steven
Cyrus him up!
lusty mirage
Yes but I'm out of exp books so I'm just checking his grid
I'll probably do it tomorrow
dusty path
You're not even half of the types
Eh, first week we normally do 15, second 3... All @lusty mirage has to do is get 3 types this week

Upgrading legendary arc units is extremely fucking expensive

Upgrading legendary arc units is extremely fucking expensive
Yes it did sadly but the freebies helped a lot i just didn't expect on beating phoebe today
I was just trying out kimono grimsley
dusty path
Kimono Grimsley is great
keen jasper
I think one time, I'll use my all upgrade tickets to upgrade my legendary arc units
dusty path
upgrade tickets... For 
?
keen jasper
At least for the ones I converted their specific upgrade tickets into all upgrade tickets like Silver and Zinnia
dusty path
Yeah I just used them all for themself...
Except Solgaleo, where I had already done 10 before an update, and I just assumed I had done them all and traded them away XD
keen jasper
I wonder who first, Silver, Zinnia or Ghetsis
I already have SS Serena for dragon-type and SS Red or Blue/Arcanine for fire-type
dusty path
Ghetsis will hopefully be getting EX for the Unova VA

Once you buy it, you can just get the gems after something like 60 days whether you do the goals or not
That's the bit to the left of "Purchase Bundles"

I'll probably just gonna do it once i beat the next round which is unova cs right
toxic cobalt
dusty path
Looks like it, yeah
lusty mirage
Ye I don't think i can push the hoenn one. Too many types missing
I'm on my 11th day on playing the game
dusty path
I mean... As of that screenshot, you had 7
So you only need 11 more
each CS you can use up to 15 sync pairs, so you could theoretically do it
dusty path
Have you done Steven yet?
lusty mirage
I can't. No exp books
dusty path
Wait not you're doing that tomorrow or something
dusty path
I'm on my 11th day on playing the game
But yeah, champion stadium second/third week playing is really good. Congrats getting this far already!
dusty path
Right, so on top of the types already done up til now, you'll also get normal and flying
which makes 9 got this week
so if you get the other 9 next week, you'll get it just fine
lusty mirage
Does the medal count if the pokemon has double typing
dusty path
only type as seen in the dex / upgrades menu
So Palkia is only dragon even though it's got water type moves... Better example... Swampert is only water type even though main games is water/ground
dusty path
Below?
dusty path
It's the type of the sync move
lusty mirage
Ooh

Who should I pair with sssteven and Bianca for offtype

@tight elbow you can ask questions regarding cs here btw
tight elbow
Yeah, I saw it afterwards 😅 I still have to find my way around the server
runic sequoia
you have any premade teams and/or could you send your roster?
I did 3 only Steven and ghost weak left
tight elbow
My biggest problem with her battle is that everything's fine until she blows me away with her sync move
austere ocean
Yes btw can you send your pairs

Okay, but again, I play it easy and don't scout for everyone 😓
all or only my ghost types?
austere ocean
Okay
tight elbow
Gotcha!

I did 3 only Steven and ghost weak left
That does not answer either of my questions....
Could you just send your entire pair list?

If you only need help with phoebe it is

also phoebe round 4...

the rest was easy, it's only phoebe

Leaf is quite bad for that team, as she doesn't provide the needed support to mewtwo

then giovanni/spa buffer/psychic terrain should work plenty

also, in the future you can take pics from pokecnter screen> sync pairs>upgrade
its much easier to see 
runic sequoia
Oh
distant cedar
and you wont need as many screenshots
north crown
I suggested offtyping with SSRed, but that's just because I don't know how Lear offtype works either, especially with SSSteven setting Psychic Terrain. Lear migth be better due to higher damage + easy multipliers.
runic sequoia
Hmm
austere ocean
Allister, classic red and kiawe seems like a team thats more than able to do it tbh
Except leveled up
Actually no need to use kiawe, rosa works too
north crown
@runic sequoia Thought of 2 teams:
Hilbert, SSRed, Maxie
SSSteven (Defense), Lear, Bianca I'm a dumbass this doesn't work
These are the only two teams I could think of that would make round 4 phoebe doable offtype
wait does phoebe increase any stats? shit.
just try the SSRed team first
sync with max sun nuke red turn 2
@runic sequoia OH if you want to save hilbert for champion (round 5), then use lillie instead of hilbert. should work almost the same.
Lillie, SSRed, Maxie
Although Steven is water weak, so even then he's trivial because of Cyrus

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

So pretty much you can have 2 support on your team one with healing and other to buff your guy what I see?
Or am I overthinking this xD
north crown
depends on the gamemode and the purpose of your team
@frank shuttle here's what I thought of:
Phoebe/Ghost: Cheryl, Giovanni, Allister
Glacia/Fire: Plumeria, SSRed, Maxie (Buff, Sync, then spam Blast Burn)
Drake/Ice: CRed, SuSteven, KGrimsley
Steven/Water: Sawyer, Cyrus, May
.
Take the Plumeria, SSRed, Maxie team for example
literally 0 tank. I was thinking that SSRed burst sun damage + sync would be enough to carry a poison type. The purpose of this team is to rush with sync and Blast Burn. That's it.
frank shuttle
Yeah I have no idea who some of these people are I'm sorry 😐@north crown
north crown
omg I'm an idiot. I could replace Plumeria with Lucy for the Hoenn boost 
frank shuttle
I know like some of the main ones xD
north crown

I press buttons as fast as I can. I am using the parameters in the pin munis strength ^6
frank shuttle
Tbh I try to go fast 😂
wraith cove
One thing if the Sync of the enemy is a problem for you, might be that you are not doing Triple Queueing consistent enough
Regardlessly
Do you do:
Sabrina TM on Mewto
Mewto: TM
Dawn: Fake tears
Enemy attack
Sabrina: Dire Hit All
Mewto: Shadow Ball
:Dawn: Fake Tears
Enemy attack
Sabrina: TM on Mewto
Mewto: Shadow Ball
Dawn: TM (if you dont have gauge for fake tears) on whoever
Enemy attack
And so on...
Important is to not only go fast, but also do the right thing you need to do
Mewto needs to get as much shadow balls as possible to delete the enemy
And in order to achieve that, you should follow an optimal attack order
wraith cove
I am not familiar with the perfomance of this team, I suppose this is just Hard Mode for the type medal, how many types did you do already?

Oh dear you are doing her Round 4? Imo, this is the wrong set of parameters if you give her Attack and Strength with Sync Buff parameters, additionally is your team too squishy. This is a hyper offense team meaning to obliterate the enemy before they sync, which is actually a tough one round 4
First of all, do use Sabrina's TM asap on mewto to buff his Special Attack so he can hit hard enough, and if you may show me your roster, I would use a more defensive setup and different parameters to actually do it round 4

Alright, I honestly think you should swap Roxanne with Sabrina
Roxanne is able to buff your teams defense, and Mewtos Special Attacks, so she can ensure more survivability and the necessary offensive pressure for Mewto
And still spam with Charm with Dawn to keep the damage you get lower
Change your parameters to post sync parameters, so you can tank the sync move better, it is important that you survive it, even if phoebe ends up bulkier
If that all does not work, try this Team:
Mewto, Sabrina (for Reflect setup and SpAtk for Mewto, let mewto use his tm 2 times for crit dont waste it on Sabrina dire hit all at round 4), Leaf
Let Leaf take Sync 1 to buff your whole team further, + she has potions to ensure direct survivability
If that fails, swap Leaf for Spring Burgh

So, SS Lusamine and SS Serena are basically free win buttons, you can use them if you get stuck or don’t have an on-type damage-dealer for the stage.
Hard Mode is a lot more relaxed than Master Mode when it comes to teambuilding, so you can generally use an on-type damage-dealer (usually a Strike Sync Pair, but some Tech Sync Pairs act as damage-dealers as well) and Supports that offer the stat boosts the damage-dealer can’t gain on their own.
So for example, you could build a team around Hala for Drake (Hala’s a weird case where he doesn’t want Speed, so be careful when choosing someone to help with move gauge); Silver, Hilda, or Serena for Glacia; SSR Cynthia for Phoebe; and Cyrus or May for Steven; while using either SS Lusamine or SS Serena for Sidney since you don’t have a super strong Fairy damage-dealer.
wraith cove
Yeah I give up 😂
