Rad
Both are 1/5 EX but considering its Ingo and Emmet im not too psyched out about it
not ex*
My b
Thaat just leaves Steven
Iiiil get to him
Uhhhh drake is kicking my butt
Do you have a 2/5 Olivia?
Yuh
Use her with someone like skyla if she’s Ex or any physical support Ex and then bring Acerola
I used fall Caitlin but anyone that provides Atk and Spd buffs is helpful
That would work greatly if Ingo isn’t Ex I’d ditch skyla
...a bit too late for that one
Im on R4 and aside from phoebe all of these rounds have been hell on earth
If i need to i can send drake to the shadow realm with LuSSamine tho
I've already cleared 10k this week but when I redid it Sidney wound up as the last one standing. I've got the SC Subway Bros and still Sidney had hands
The first clear was braindead easy I didn't expect to have to retry the level a few times
If you have any defense buffs they’d be very useful
Urrrghhh i dont know what to do
Not even LuSSamine is working well here, theres just not enough time
Is there a way to cheese Drake R4
R4 is always the roughest, idk if you could set up a poison stall in time
What parameters your running?
hello,
im trying right now, ss lusamine not working
im looking at physical damage dealers
Idk howtf you’re supposed to beat him
Tried with alder, doesn’t work
Tried with Noland, doesn’t work
Tried to offtype, still didn’t work
i dont have alder, im using sdney, ya,per and viola
How about you try NY Lillie if you have her?
i dont have lillie
Try stalling him
Well, then I'm all out of conventional ideas
So let's get unconventional
Try Leaf, Ghetsis and Alder
stalling doesnt work
Yeah he's a bit too strong to fully stall
I beat Sidney with bugsy lusamine and SSB
Alder must work. Surely.
Like if you're very used to stalling it's fine, but maybe not for everyone
Maybe try this
is it bugsy and scyther and whos ssb
Bugsy Beedrill
does this look good?
for who
Yeah looks fine
glacia
Looks good
lemme see ur grid
https://youtu.be/Kas6RrJv4MU I forgot what time it was
I need to Ex thorton asap this was steel was so difficult lel. Bug took me a hefty amount of time 53 total attempts lol. Hoenn is way harder than I imagined sorry for the lack of uploads.
The grid is in the video
they're ungridded, still okay?
Wait I used 3/5 Hilbert I don’t remember that lel
Should be fine
I know I beat it with SSB
Well, Misty might want the grid, but I guess it's fine
Hope for no crit then
Cobalion boosts Bea quite a bit anyway
well idk who i'd give vigilance to, and i don't have any cookies.
Bea is super good just from default passives
that would give that skill anyway
😮 @zealous karma is back??
Back??
so im wiped out by sides after i kill glacia
and everytime glacia's attack after sync kills cobalion
Yea I haven’t seen you in a while
should i grid?
No, you need a lucky skill unfortunately
Because Glacia has guaranteed crit after sync
is there any way to get cookies outside of villa? if not, that's dumb
through monthly Blissful Bonaza and Legendary Gauntlet
Is Brendan a good enough unit to beat Steven
More than
Assuming you have Dauntless on him
Also what is dauntless
Any suggestions for a 2k point run for Sydney, attempt #20 today and I'm getting over it. Don't have too many zone setters or seasonal twin units.
A lucky skill that makes the user's Sp. Atk. to not lower
Thank you
Perfect for those who rely on moves like Draco Meteor and Leaf Storm
So someone helped me with these teams yesterday but I've just realised that I dont have hop any suggestions to swap him out? - same type coverage preferably
Hop is free
you get hop for free from legendary adventures
You don't have Hop or he's not available to use?
Oh I'm not level 30 yet so I can't access it- ig I level then get him
Oh that's why
Have you tried offtyping? alder is gonna have a hard time with the aoe spA debuff
Any advice for getting levels quickly?
Do the events
No stam 🙃 I've been trying lmao
Try swaping SS Lyra for a SpA debuffer and use overpower/devastation, I used Alder CIris Aaron
Tried a couple of off types. Either DPS teams I'm running in weather is dying to Strength modifiers or doesn't dps pass hp modifiers before losing dps to sync.
I got the dragonite to half health on a poison stall twam with SS Leaf/Swimsuit Misty/Janine with stall parameters on Drake R4
Uhm, who do you still have?
Roster wise uh
...jve got a lot of options
Of my roster i used ash, c red, volkner, deoxys, hilbert, hop, ss red, ss morty, and bluecanine
This is the teams I use for F2P poison stall, you can adapt them for better pairs (like SS Leaf)
Since Drake is mostly physical you could try with Skyla
obviously another way since those aren't available?
If she get's 1 MPR is good, 2 is perfect, but without MPR you're only with +2 Def/SpD
you can reset until you get at least 1 MPR
That first run WAS with no mpr at all so
yeah all of them are unavailable rn
since your Alder is 3/5, you can go with C!Iris or Anni N for debuffs and try to nuke 2nd sync
Idk what dark zone related buffs for sidney tho
he should be able to defeat him before his sync with that team
this is what i did with sidney
yeah
I wanna try Alder but sadly no EX yet
Nuking with Red is fun now that i can
congrets
I did it with alder no need to EX
Will try before cs reset
i usually do a second or third run on 10k before resets just to try some comp
Yeah, I nuked Sidney in round 4
Except SC Emmet's first sync didn't crit, but his 2nd sync did 37k with supereffective up next
also next week Unova is pretty much all nukeable for me 
You'd Wish Unova CS had some difficulty spike like Hoenn and Sinnoh
I wish
Imagine Kalos CS next
should happen after Halloween if that were to happen
Great more electric weak E4 that’s gonna shame my kirin nuke team
You mean after Unova CS?
Yeah
Let's see
well Drasna is dragon user
Ah true
oh yeah they also need to add Drasna and Malva
agreed
auuuugh drake keeps killing everyone
Drake can eventually fall to poison but even then he usually takes my last pokemon with me
And then there are the sides to worry about
have ypu tried offtype?
Cant, everything dies in seconds anyway
Giovanni or Silver are really good and they are Free 5/5 EX
yea but i dont have the time to buff them before they sync
Same goes with LuSSa
I have pairs but i dont have the time
Is Drake being done as the fourth fight?
Yes
And sidney and glacia were so bad i am NOT resetting i am NOT doing those again
This week, the fourth fight modifier is half sync time.
It's good when you start the week to plan around the fight order.
Rock-weak Drake is hard at fast sync without Archeops
i uh
Do have archeops
The round 4 parameter this week is the same as last week
and its still hard haha
Half Sync is by far the hardest one, because it favors the enemy more than yourself
Try Olivia, Skyla and Bertha against Drake
You could try using SS Leaf Sycamore Skyla, you won't have -6 SpA/Atk, but +6 def and Sycamore with Vigilance should be enough
dont have bertha

and you use the half sync to buff sycamore faster
Not sure who else has sandstorm
I have ingo and emmet
Palossand
Acerola, Ingo
But they arent really
Working for me
AnniRaihan
If you are fighting Drake on a fast sync, you probably want to lower his attack and buff your own defense
I think Drake is best done in round 2
Could you post your pairs?? We could check if someone else did Drake R4 and what team they used
ive linked them before
Also i know the issue with emmet
Using post sync params he uh
drake does more damage with his sync then emmet has in max hp
Even with max defense
Try SS Leaf Sycamore Skyla
Alright
Let Dawn tank first and sync with Sycamore
Aah alrighty
just get her MPRs and MGR cuz she is slow
yeah, only sync with SS Leaf after all are poisoned
Sycamore > SS Leaf > Sycamore forever
Gotcha
Tank with Dawn > Sycamore > SS Leaf
and use Sycamore TM only after some time for the gradual healling to be more usefull
like round 3/4 maybe
DAWN SCYA SSLEAF WORKED
Uhhh i mightve just had good rng but no, it was first try
Easily the most stressful part was the sides
I did here but everyone is 140 and my Dawn is 5/5 EX, so it's not the same
But sycamore horn leech worked
I onced poison stalled without SS Leaf
I did too but i dont think it was 2k MM
that said
Man does she make it so much better
Yeah, I poison stalled in non-MM
uhhhhhhh
Or are you set?
If it doesn't work, Steven sets psychic terain by himsenf
so you can offtype easier with Giovanni
oh yeah i could LuSSa nuke it
or LuSSa yeah
no
Dang
I went Sun + Grass Terrain
SS Lyra
SS Lyra
i see
For someone whos favorite games were hgss
I still question why i skipped the johto VA
SS Lyra really OP, I don't even use her as DPS
I am glad i skipped tho
Cuz now i have the gems to get another red
I now have a goal to get every single red that comes out
I use mine mostly for the Terrain + Dire hit+ all +4 Atk/SpA (maybe +6 with MPR) + Phy up next + Defense Crush + Master Pair passive
I don't even use her for the flinch
SS Lyra packs a stupid amount into her kit, yeah
How the fuck did you do that?
** **
Her and SS Kris have amazing role compression
hes better because he has ho-oh :>
regardless i am using my paid gems to get ssgiovanni tomorrow
Do i need him? Probably not
But hes dripped out and hes giovanni and i love giovanni
Therefore
I want him
IMO you can’t compare SS Morty and SS Kris because Morty is more defense-oriented and Kris is more offense-oriented
Could always run Gladion until you luck into Courtney
I mean SS Morty has +2 offensive stats and most units are missing 1 or 2 of their offensive stats
Oh yknow what i 3/5ed gladion during ash pulls i think
Arent he and C!Red really good for "off-typing"
SS Kris has the special moves up and SS Morty has the big healing, though
I just recently got Gladion
Ah
And I still want Lucian 
If you’re willing to 3/5 her with candies Cynthia’s really powerful with her grid expansion
Yeah, you can use Gladion on any typing with C!Red
In case you wanna grab a good Ground striker right now
And, the new free pair will be good
Naomi might be enough for any ground weak stages
I guess I'll only have 3 weeks of fun for the Unova CS
Ah, true. We’re getting a freebie that offers good Sp. Atk. Ground damage
I really wonder if Olivia will really be enough for Alder
a bit overkill
Olivia, Skyla and Bertha?
If Olivia’s 3/5 she’ll be more than sufficient
I personally like Hop/Hilbert/Sonia + Olivia + Acerola/Bertha
Then I guess I won't have any problems taking down 2k Alder
I also still don't have Hilbert
Those 10x scout tickets gave me so much SS Grimsleys
And remeber, for CS there is always at least 1 person that does 10k full F2P
That’s why I have Hop as a suggestion there. Does the important aspects Hilbert provides
so you don't NEED any pairs to do it
of course any better pair is a improvement, but you could do without it (but you'd have to invest in pairs you're problably not investing in right now, like Korrina/Barry for exemple)
So making BP Sophocles work was a challenge
but it worked eventually
boi hits hard
It's only because of the paralysis condition needed
Soph Volk and Aaron worked a treat but i needed explosion to go off lol
could i have used EX Hau or Elesa? Yes but they aren't Alolan Golem
Could use Skyla to get the tough cookie quickly
Ya then it's just his attack
So i need help for steven actuallt
i found Aaron decent, buffs the remaining attack + 1 crit, so one dire hit + and one TM and hes fully offensive outside of Def
SSErika / SSBlue / Lisia was my team but no healing kinda hurts it
Ah that's better I guess
And my LuSSa nuke button
Isnt working
Defog
Honestly, I'd replace Lisia for Silver
My silver isnt EXed :(
yea
He doesn't need it
I'd go with sync bonus effect and go with a debuffer then
He can destroy Steven with Solar Beam
yeah and just sync with SS Erika
2x DPS with Silver and SS Erika
I always forget he has Solar Beam...
I always go pre sync
SSB is EX?
You should be able to kill middle with SSB EX Sync + SS Erika Sync (or even before that)
Congrats
GG
Done with CS?
GG
I couldve avoided my drake pain if i did phoebe there instead since i had ashhh
But hey
We won
I give up... at this point I'm whaling for red/pikachu when they release and trying him out...
which stage and round are you, and what is your roster?
Unova is next CS right?
any hints for sidney
there are some in the pins
it doesnt help
Which round you doing him and what's your roster?
Lower his Atk. and remove his zone
My hint would be kill before sync, but that depends on what you have...
Can this do 4k
pretty sure anything is possible with lyra 
Any team comps for Hard mode Phoebe, Drake and Steven?
Can this team best glacia I keep losing at one of the side people left
You should be fine. Sync with SS Blue first to gain more bulk and Safety Net
Would've been nice if he was EXd
I was always syncing with bae first
New player woes
Bit rusty and haven’t played hoenn mm before so was a bit of a struggle but made it work
Sidney definitely seems the hardest
Hence why i pulled out Steven
Tried to get thunder kyogre to work for phoebe but no luck
Ssa Cynthia was very fun to use, hadn’t used bea before either but hit like a truck after buffs
SS Blue wants first sync for the mega, which adds more bulk and gives AOE endurance for team longevity. If he were EXd his demand for sync would be even higher and you'd get more benefits. But if the sides are killing you with AOEs, syncing with SSB first might help because of the endurance
I only have Sydney and drake left to beat
Which of these my units can I use for it
Hard Mode or Master Mode?
You have SS Serena and SS Steven
Also, for future reference, it’s easier to show us your roster if you screenshot from the Move Level menu
Hard mode
Definitely not master mode
I used here coz it won't show who I've already used
But I'll do the next time thanks
Fair
So SS Serena + 2 Supports and SS Steven + 2 supports should be easy clears, and you could try Brendan + Blaine + Skyla for Steven
She only needs defenses and speed (and maybe +1 crit) because she maxes Attack and Sp. Atk. in one turn and has Dire Hit+
Plz who's blaine
Bald guy with Ponyta (Rapidash if you evolved it)
+6 for all stats except for crit. Crit caps at +3
Thanks
I'll go just look up a pic I'm not used to their names
I only ever watched Pokémon cartoons on Saturdays and played red and ruby on Gameboy back in the days
Wait I don't think I have blaine
He’s in one of your screenshots, you have him
Quick screenshot of me zooming in on your screenshot to show him more clearly:
Lol I didn't know that
Thanks for the help
Does Brendan and blaine have any synergy
Brendan is using treeko a leaf type while ponyta is fire type
Some grass types can benefit from sun due to skills in their grid
Wow golisopod sucks
My 5/5 ex guzma can't clear round 3 sydney
Or more accurately.. I can't make it work
Tried using this team
I take it back
Lol
Used bugsy/syther, ex Guzma and hop, cleared it easily
Oops wrong chat
Does my option here affect anything
Yes. Pick whatever is best for your team.
Only if gridded to
Mine isn't gridded at all
I gridded him not to have the move acceleration in sunny weather
But his dmg against Steven is nothing at all
He's doing 900 dmg per hit
What's your lucky skill on Brendan?
If you're using leaf storm without dauntless, his spA will drop after every lead storm and his damage will be low
Are you setting up with dire hit and the other tm before your first sync?
Dauntless
Yes
My Brenden is 1/5 does that still benefit from sunny weather
Can I beat glacia with these
Hard mode?
Yes
Too bad you've already used Bea
Yeah rip
I randomly used em thought it was easy
I could get cobalion
But it's a support
What round is this?
I guess your only option is to off-type
4
I'm having trouble with steven
What's your team?
I guess replace Brendan and use Silver with Solar Beam
Who's silver
Okay lemme go get em
But he can also be used for Solar Beam damage and it's good
Does CS gets changed every week?
Like this week is hoen
And next week will be others?
Changes every month
CS gets changed monthly
Next month is Unova
Oh ok
You could try running Giovanni and SSRCynthia with a good tank. Is mistyduck available.?
By how much does sunny weather power solar beam
I could try to get her
I almost beat glacia with that core
But the tank is a problem
I don't have a good one rn
Well you shoudl get the duck at some point soon, but will take a few days. what supports do you have?
Roxanne is available
Did you already use a rock-type unit?
I tried Roxanne , Cynthia ,Mewtwo and failed
Are you using Mewtwo's ghost move in ghost zone?
Are you focusing on mid first?
Which Morty?
Mismagius?
BP Morty is a great tank
Hmmmm
Sabrina and alakazam
Obviously
Morty is great defensively while Sabrina is great offensively
Sabrina and Alakazam might be a really good option
If you can get a screen up and then use her to buff Gio
Ok will try that
Upgrading her to lv120 should be enough right
Yep
Glacia
Ah Glacia
Sabrina is oriented to tank special attacks, which is what Glacia mostly does
Sidney this week have sentry entry?
Nope
Why my 2 sync buff alder only do 6k after crit?
He doesn't have Wise Entry either
Sync atk*
Probably because Sidney uses Snarl
Crit or supereffective only?
Because crits on sync moves have a maximum of 80% chance to crit
^
Unless you have Soften Up or crit hit next
What are your parameters or is it just hard mode?
Pre sync 2k
Have strength parameters?
I've gotten him
It seems his ex event isn't available rn
It's gone
That aside how do I build his sync grid to benefit from sunny weather
Will it return
I don't remember/know
What's his sync grid supposed to be like
Assuming Solar Beam build:
Hold on
Okay
But you don't have his power boost so it might vary for you
What's his power boost
Expanded grid
Is that from ex?
EX just makes his sync hit all enemies, power boost is completely different
Freak
Can he still so Steven without the power boost
I see I'll just do the ones available on mine
He definitely can, in fact, any grass-type damage dealer can easily destroy 2k Steven
Whether it's SS Erika, Selene, Silver or Maxie
This is my sync grid
Yeah, Silver gets more grid tiles from an event, but he doesn’t need it for Solar Beam spam against Steven
Wait
Ok
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
This is my non-power boost grid for Solar Beam Silver
Weather Warrior 3 can obviously be changed for Critical Strike 2
What team did you end up using?

How are my teams for next week?
Did you have someone to buff Silver's Sp. Atk.?
I thought alder is both DPS and sync nuke
What sync level is he?
2
Oh I didn't lol
I sync with ex skyla before this
I think Alder only gets Sync nuke at 3/5, right?
LMFAO, that's why
Luckily breathtaking proc thrice
Don't have enough candy for him
He's gonna come back
I'm not confident with the korrina one 
When? The diantha banner?
Besides, if SC Emmet reruns then you'll practically have the best bug-type nuker in the game
Oh alder is not best bug?
Yeah, best bug-type damage is SC Emmet and SC Ingo
SC Emmet doesn't need to lower enemy stats to get bonus damage on sync, he just needs to buff himself
How much Sp. Atk. increase?
What’s your team right now?
You need to use Silver's TM under sun
I did that
4 Sp. Atk. rise
Your Silver is kinda underleveled
Yeah, try to get him to 120 if you can
No energy to get level mats
Ah, that’s unfortunate
Then I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow and a few days until Monday
Well, worst case scenario you can always wait a day or 2, there’s still half a week until CS reset
You mean until Hoenn CS goes away?
That as well
9hrs to restore 145 energy
It goes away soon
Yes, and this is the final week of the Hoenn CS
I also noticed you don't have any gear
That's the Rest of my box anything that can work for that fight there
So since your Brendan doesn’t have any grid for Sun you could just do Rosa + Skyla + Brendan
How do u get gear
Any coop rn
It's really grind-heavy and not worth it
Better to wait for gear events
Like the electric gear event coming
Okay
Hello
Hi
Greetings
General Kenobi
am I allowed to put my sync pairs in hear to know what things to invest and create team comps?
Cause it's like three pages of stuff
For general teambuilding #poma-questions is probably better, but for CS teams specifically this is the right place
So Hard Mode’s teambuilding is pretty relaxed. I’d recommend just picking your favorite damage-dealer (usually a Striker, but some Techs act as damage-dealers too) for the type the stage is weak to, then build a team around them with Supports that give whatever necessary buffs the damage-dealer can’t get themselves
5
5, including champion
Oh
The Elite 4 + the Champion
Actually hating Hoenn CS my only 10k was week 1
Eh, this week is pretty tame compared to the last 2 weeks
As long as you’re trying to match the type weakness you should be fine. Hard Mode isn’t too difficult
Round 1 and 3 are easy to poison due to the field parameters
Do you have Gladion, perchance?
The guy with silvally?
Yep
Gladion can be any type
Gladion is any type
He’s sorta your duct-tape for hitting weaknesses
Have a look at his TM
He just needs to use his Trainer Move and he’ll change type
based on the weakness of the targeted opponent
He's a nice ex
Classic Giovanni/Persian
Hop is another good one
what's the general strategy for sidney? do you think cynthia+red can take care of him?
i'm assuming deny the zone?
General strategy for Sidney is remove or override his dark field and lower his Atk.
i tried it with mawile 1/5 and ingo but got stomped hahaha. maybe i'll try feather dance
will darach work? feather dance and defog?
Darach is made for bug-weak Sidney
You just need someone to buff Def. to your team
What round is that?
2k sidney
Round
oof sorry what does that mean
What round are you on right now for Sidney?
it says round 4 use sync moves quickly against all opponents
Oh round 4, the hardest one
oh no i cant reset
Do you have a good physical dps?
You can, keep in mind Sidney is a bit mixed
This?
Worth a try!
I just got here...
Zones overwriting zones?
Mortys killing mortys
Oh, bringing Mawile to overwrite Sidney's zone, not to actually power up your damage dealers?
Do i tank with cynthia first or hop?
Ohhhh.
Next week is ground-weak. I'd better have gastrodon then! I need 53 more levels of friendship in the next 5 days... That'll be almost impossible without good RNG.
Yes
And terrains overwrite terrains
But terrain and zone can activate at the same time
Only the same type of fields can override each other
Hop for that sweet free move
But will also ruin quad queue 
But also Cynthia too so pick your poison
My poison is round 4
Unless they buff instead
I more meant "why are Mawile and Cyncario on a team together"?
Mawile wants zone for damage and Zamazenta benefits too.
Cyncario needs zone to get buddy move, and getting EX buff from syncing will screw up mawiles zone setting
We can pick another tank. Just need some way to counter dark zone.
Does anyone have dojo gloria? Trying to help my friend beat round 3 glacia but I don't have her so idk what to test
Not master mode
Who are the remaining E4?
Or more specifically, which E4 fight?
Glacia
If you're using Dojo Gloria, it means you need a physical fire-type damage dealer
Probably someone like SS May or Silver
Isn't glacia fighting weak rn
Oh yeah, I thought this was last week Glacia
On hard mode a strong off-typer should be fine
Then I guess you could probably do Korrina, Bea or Wally
Tell us who has been used
I see a 2/5 Wally
Ash volkner misty gladion ssblue swimsuit misty (ik it isn't shown here but he got it after he took this)
SS Lyra is easy cheese for any stage
Yeah but since steven is grass weak I feel like it'd be better to use him there
You can run a special or a physical wally
Literally any grass-type damage dealer can easily destroy Steven
No Sabrina?
Even Silver's Solar Beam is an easy W against Steven
Just need someone to set up sun and you're good to destroy
First time doing master mode and cleared with 3k by using the 600 point condition in each battle. Any suggestions for if I could sneak more points in anywhere? I struggled the most with Round 2 and the Champion.
I also see people usually mention 2k/2.5k/5k, which makes me suspect the parameter I chose is unpopular. Are there easier ones worth about the same amount of points?
If you check the pins, there is a really really basic 850 points
which should apply to almost every stage
Alright
wally focus blast or close combat?
cuz if it's focus blast, I would suggest you don't use hop
and vice versa with roxanne
These are actuallyr eally good teams and good battle ordering.
I think you can go higher, and then even higher with tweaks such as Nitsua suggests
I'll take a look. I'm guessing physical/special damage reduction doesn't apply when I crit? Otherwise it seems really rough for only 50 points 🤔
It was Focus Blast, but I think I needed the potions and maybe Wally's sync was a physical move?
torchic skyla
thanks ^_^
I don't think ash needs skyla as he already gives himself +3 speed
oh and phoebe uses all special moves this week
Does Wally want Skyla? Roxanne buffs sp.atk and speed already, so I was looking for crit potion combos iirc
torchic buffs the rest of wally's offensive stats, and skyla buffs speed + can cheat the game with her insane potion nodes
basically same team comp except better potion rng
Oh you meant the two of them together instead of one replacing Hop
I see I see
idk if healthy benefits would change anything substantial to the match tho
but I do know that Skyla's "O c e a n O f P o t i o n" makes immortality possible so I suggested to bring her, especially if you're using wally as the sole DPS.
if im not wrong solgaleo and wally are great for double focus blasting
not to say Wally's bad, it's just that I don't use him much, and from my experience, I don't think he can pre sync on his own
but you need an omni buffer like torchic
yeah that's what I did
I usually run them with SSB
SSB is great
This makes sense, thanks a lot.
i don't own solgaleo (this is easily fixed)
Solgaleo also has Endure
And Glacia's HP is low anyways
i actually used solgaleo with the wrong params and i still got through so you'll be fine
I used Solgaleo as main DPS with SSB and Elio
I will try out the torchic team first since I was using blue elsewhere
kind of ashamed I had to bring that duo out, but if I don't have to use my braincells I'd count that as a win
torchic is not bulky though, so gallade and solgeleo might struggle clearing fast
unless you take sol or gal out ig
if yo have any better option than torchic, I'd highly recommend using that first.
they're trying my suggested team of: skyla, wally, torchic
Solgaleo can max out Sp. Atk. on its own, so you just need someone to buff crit
Torchic is actually weirdly bulky
yeah. used it to tank in a fire weak stage for SSRed to demolish
It tanks in my Marley Silver Torchic team
mine is as well 
It won't tank for long, but it'll get you to pre-sync
yeah i think maybe at least 4* for torchic to take an extra hit
but if you're running skyla then it's fine
O c e a n O f P o t i o n

1/5 Ash using his B Move against max strength and HP parameters Phoebe
He dealt the literal damage cap
That’s insane
And on one sync buff too.
Only Zone Set I have is Steel and my DPS on Pal Marnie isn’t very good
Yeah it’s sort of insane that they put him into the game knowing full well that this would be the result
Have you tried stalling?
I'm gonna try max HP, max strength and max defensive stats
Stalling with Status?
I might have to change the para around for that
Currently aiming with 850 Points since I am new to this level
Going to try Poison Stall

With Koga/Sycamore and Skyla
Where's Janine?
Janine is better than Koga?
She is a debuffer
Replace Skyla for Janine
Basically to stall you want 1) poisoner 2) debuffer 3) tank
Sycamore is fine, although perhaps wasted, you might have Leaf, Mistyduck, or BP Morty
I have BP Morty
My Janine is at Level 1 though
And I will need to adjust the parameters to let me debuff and status
The other thing is that Morty is weak to Dark ain’t he?
Not sure how long he would last in the match against Sidney
Stall parameters are also in the pins
Thank you
Can you get Janine to 100?
Maybe
Sycamore is the only I have for the team. Unless there are other possible and better teammates?
As I mentioned leaf can work, as can mistyduck. Skyla might also work if gridded for potion mpr.
No 3-star Support candies?
Nope
@austere quest Poison stall teams:
- Lucy&Seviper + Janine + Eevee tank (grid helps a lot but i had this team way before Eevee grid)
- SS Leav&Venusaur + Viola&Masquerain + Xerneas tank
- BP Erika & Tangela + debuffer (Iris&Hydreigon?) + some tank healer, like Skyla or whatever you got left
You can mix & match, swap the same role from another team
Others that can be useful:
Wallace&Milotic is a good trapper, could work for tank&trap, bring a non-tank healer (like, say, Brock&Onix)
Anyone with bad poison is good.
Also it doesn’t seem possible to win against Sidney with Toxic Stall
Sidney’s got a lot of offensive power, yeah. Probably the hardest to stall this week
He just too much damage eventually and also his Sync OHKOs Janine and 2HKOs Koga
So I need to off type him
Janine level 140?
No
welp
Lvl 95
level 95 is super low
Yes
for 2k MM at least
i suggest leveling up, not saying 140 but 130 is huge help. Also bring her up to 5 star if you want/can
I can bring her to 4 Stars at least
850 is very easy with poison stall.
1500pt is basically free for poison stall, almost same difficulty as 0 points
up every defense node and HP node, pick anti-crit (you don't care about doing crits), and -2 gauge bars
But Sidney is still doing a lot of damage isn’t he?
can you post your pairs here Artery?
Maybe it'll help
and for poison stall, at least for me, 0 and 1.5k is not that different, the biggest gap is 1.5k to 2k
@junior crown ^
i got them all level 140 ofc
With Janine + Eevee you should reach -6 Atk/SpAtk enemy and also +4 Def/SpDef on you before enemy first sync.
I remember why sycamore might be bad
His right side has iron tail
so maybe Leaf Erika C.Iris might work better
I like to use Ghetsis, cuz he have double drop on grid and endurance
it's 1 more turn, it can save lifes...
Do you have Dawn?
Currently my team
Maybe Dawn + SS Leaf + Sycamore (I really like this team for poison stall)
can be BP Erika instead
I don’t have her either
I will be aiming to get her though
All I need is to clear Sidney
the biggest problem is that Sidney have both special and physical, and for physical he has iron tail so without def bonus sycamore might be bad
That’s all I need and then I can take down Steven easily
I have Sonia?
Steven
Thinking of using Rosa and brenden
I don't have any good grass strikers available
Okay so much better but still no wincon in sight
So resigning to just off typing Sidney because he is doing so much damage to my tank that is just shredding through my team
it's R4?
2/5
And yeah silvet
Silver , Brendan and Rosa maybe
maybe Silver + Brendan + Tank
Brendan can buff himself
Silver needs Sun (but he can set himself, but you'll need to wait after sync to do that)
at 2/5 Brendan can get Ramming Speed + Innertia
Yeah, last match before Steven
I had no problems with anyone else
so Brendan + Skyla is good
Think it might because my other teams are just so underleveled compared to the rest
Imm use morty
BP Morty is dark weak
oh, you mean for Steven
I have EX on SSBrendan with full Grid and EX on SSRed
Well, I offtyped using f2p pairs, so SS Red should worb better then them
For steven?
Should work
This is the team I am going to try to use against Sidney
But I already used them earlier
So going with what I posted and hoping that works
I did all 5 rounds F2P offtype (but they are all lv 140 so not newbie friendly)
Can you post your pairs?? don't think this looks good for him
I offtyped Steven with Zinniaquaza Hop Winona
This is all I have
So far used: SS Steven/SS Brendan/Bianca, SSRed/SSBlue/Misty, and May/Archie/Mistyduck.
Planning on using a Sun Team against Steven
What already beat phoebe?
Well you have Dawn
Can you level her up?
And try that team with Dawn instead of Sonia
And for Steven you use SS Morty Brendan Silver
I am using SS Morty, Maxie, SS Erika
The Poison Stall Team?
yes
Does Sycamore have Vigilance?
Yes
Maybe lv 100 is too low, 120 at least would be better, if you can't clear it today you could get grass tomes to raise her
But I think it works or reset and do Sidney R1 or R2...
R4 is the hardest
R1 for poison stall
Will probably try a reset then
He's not surviving sync. What to do
I am missing the drinks for reference
Well you don't have any pair that raise def, so swap Phoebe for another tank
Oh, there are drinks in the event shop, maybe that's easier to get then in trainning area...
Yeah it’s still really difficult to defeat him even though I am doing much better
Going to have to off type him with one of my stronger teams
Parameters?
Also, do you have Hilbert 3/5/Hop?
Why not try post sync if you're dying to sync? (Also never put Max hp up in pre syncs)
I’m having trouble on r4 vs glacia
Can someone recommend me a team?
Bea dies to sync
Outnuke her with Zerena team
I already used zerena on sidney
what's that like?
is it the Meteor Assault / Sync Nuke Minimal + Sharp Entry grid
Can you post the super presync params too?
Start with half hp
I used hilbert
Ah
using skyla and sonia
yes
Okay that's good
