just run something like kukui or masked royal as the third then that team should destroy drake

normal falcon
#

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

normal falcon
#

Uhhhh drake is kicking my butt

zealous karma
#

Do you have a 2/5 Olivia?

normal falcon
#

Yuh

zealous karma
#

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

normal falcon
#

Shes not EX :(

#

Uhhh would Olivia/Ingo/Skyla work

zealous karma
normal falcon
#

Alright

#

My only 2 support EXes are SSBlue and Rosa

zealous karma
#

I see

#

Then do rock round 2

normal falcon
#

...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

frozen steppe
#

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

zealous karma
normal falcon
#

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

frozen steppe
#

R4 is always the roughest, idk if you could set up a poison stall in time

normal falcon
#

Doubt it

#

Maybe something like serena sleep stall maybe??

formal vigil
#

What parameters your running?

vapid notch
#

hello,

lime willow
#

How have you guys beaten Sidney on 2k

#

This guy is always just impossible for me

vapid notch
#

im looking at physical damage dealers

lime willow
#

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

vapid notch
grizzled hearth
#

How about you try NY Lillie if you have her?

vapid notch
toxic cobalt
#

Try stalling him

grizzled hearth
#

Well, then I'm all out of conventional ideas

#

So let's get unconventional

#

Try Leaf, Ghetsis and Alder

vapid notch
grizzled hearth
#

Yeah he's a bit too strong to fully stall

zealous karma
#

I beat Sidney with bugsy lusamine and SSB

toxic cobalt
#

Alder must work. Surely.

grizzled hearth
#

Like if you're very used to stalling it's fine, but maybe not for everyone

grizzled hearth

Bugsy Beedrill

#

does this look good?

vapid notch
grizzled hearth
#

Yeah looks fine

obtuse hound
#

glacia

toxic cobalt
#

Looks good

vapid notch
zealous karma
#

The grid is in the video

obtuse hound
zealous karma
#

Wait I used 3/5 Hilbert I don’t remember that lel

toxic cobalt
#

Should be fine

zealous karma
#

I know I beat it with SSB

obtuse hound
#

they also don't have skills

#

lucky skills

grizzled hearth
#

Well, Misty might want the grid, but I guess it's fine

toxic cobalt
#

Hope for no crit then

grizzled hearth
#

Cobalion boosts Bea quite a bit anyway

obtuse hound
toxic cobalt
#

Bea is super good just from default passives

obtuse hound
#

that would give that skill anyway

grizzled hearth
#

Yeah so this team is fine

#

Just try it out first

obtuse hound
#

alright

#

ill try

sick anvil
#

😮 @zealous karma is back??

zealous karma
#

Back??

obtuse hound
#

so im wiped out by sides after i kill glacia

#

and everytime glacia's attack after sync kills cobalion

sick anvil
#

Yea I haven’t seen you in a while

obtuse hound
#

should i grid?

grizzled hearth
#

No, you need a lucky skill unfortunately

#

Because Glacia has guaranteed crit after sync

obtuse hound

#

Not sure who said I have hop- I don't think I d

#

I need a hope replacement 🙃

old orchid
rotund iron
#

Is Brendan a good enough unit to beat Steven

keen jasper
#

Assuming you have Dauntless on him

rotund iron
#

This a good team

#

Once I grid them and lucky skill them would it be good or naw

rotund iron

#

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.

keen jasper
keen jasper
#

Perfect for those who rely on moves like Draco Meteor and Leaf Storm

twin field
#

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

boreal holly
#

Hop is free

mystic elk
#

you get hop for free from legendary adventures

keen jasper

#

Oh I'm not level 30 yet so I can't access it- ig I level then get him

keen jasper
#

Oh that's why

boreal holly

Have you tried offtyping? alder is gonna have a hard time with the aoe spA debuff

twin field
#

Any advice for getting levels quickly?

keen jasper

#

No stam 🙃 I've been trying lmao

normal falcon
#

I got the dragonite to half health on a poison stall twam with SS Leaf/Swimsuit Misty/Janine with stall parameters on Drake R4

junior crown
#

SwinMisty may need MPR to give more def buffs

#

do you have BP Morty?

normal falcon
#

Iiiii dont think so

#

But I do have the ticket

#

Im just still debating on using it

junior crown
#

Uhm, who do you still have?

normal falcon
#

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

junior crown
#

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

normal falcon
#

Oh maybe

#

I picked swimsty cuz she has synchro healing too tho

#

On her grid

obtuse hound
junior crown
#

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

normal falcon
old orchid
normal falcon
#

Theres hope 👀

#

im p sure i gridded mpr

boreal holly
#

Idk what dark zone related buffs for sidney tho

junior crown
#

he should be able to defeat him before his sync with that team

boreal holly
#

this is what i did with sidney

normal falcon
#

Oh my god you fucking killed him

#

hes dead

boreal holly
#

I wanna try Alder but sadly no EX yet

normal falcon
#

Nuking with Red is fun now that i can

junior crown
normal falcon
#

I DIDNT baachpacphav

#

...lemme go try and change rhat

junior crown
boreal holly
#

Will try before cs reset

#

i usually do a second or third run on 10k before resets just to try some comp

keen jasper
#

Except SC Emmet's first sync didn't crit, but his 2nd sync did 37k with supereffective up next

boreal holly
#

also next week Unova is pretty much all nukeable for me SophoKEK

keen jasper
#

You'd Wish Unova CS had some difficulty spike like Hoenn and Sinnoh

boreal holly
#

I wish

keen jasper
#

Imagine Kalos CS next

boreal holly
#

should happen after Halloween if that were to happen

trail smelt
#

Great more electric weak E4 that’s gonna shame my kirin nuke team

keen jasper
boreal holly
keen jasper
#

Let's see

trail smelt
#

Hmm is there anybody weak to fairy?

#

Oh wait goodra Diantha

boreal holly
#

well Drasna is dragon user

trail smelt
#

Ah true

boreal holly
#

oh yeah they also need to add Drasna and Malva

keen jasper
#

Drasna will have Dragalge

#

Malva will have Pyroar

boreal holly
#

agreed

normal falcon
#

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

junior crown
#

have ypu tried offtype?

normal falcon
#

Cant, everything dies in seconds anyway

junior crown
#

Giovanni or Silver are really good and they are Free 5/5 EX

normal falcon
#

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

lunar meadow
#

Is Drake being done as the fourth fight?

normal falcon
#

Yes

#

And sidney and glacia were so bad i am NOT resetting i am NOT doing those again

lunar meadow
#

This week, the fourth fight modifier is half sync time.

It's good when you start the week to plan around the fight order.

normal falcon
#

Yyyeaah i know

#

I just didnt think itd be as bad as it ended up being

lunar meadow
#

Rock-weak Drake is hard at fast sync without Archeops

normal falcon
#

i uh

Do have archeops

keen jasper
normal falcon
#

and its still hard haha

lunar meadow
keen jasper
#

Try Olivia, Skyla and Bertha against Drake

junior crown
#

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

normal falcon
#

dont have bertha

junior crown
#

and you use the half sync to buff sycamore faster

keen jasper
#

Not sure who else has sandstorm

normal falcon
#

I have ingo and emmet

lunar meadow
frozen steppe
#

Acerola, Ingo

normal falcon
#

But they arent really

Working for me

frozen steppe
#

AnniRaihan

lunar meadow
#

If you are fighting Drake on a fast sync, you probably want to lower his attack and buff your own defense

normal falcon
#

🤔

#

Maybe i could use SS Bluuuee??

junior crown
#

I did Emmet + Ingo, but it was not R4

#

maybe with flinch lucky it helps?

keen jasper
#

I think Drake is best done in round 2

junior crown
#

Could you post your pairs?? We could check if someone else did Drake R4 and what team they used

normal falcon
#

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

junior crown
#

Try SS Leaf Sycamore Skyla

normal falcon
#

Alright

junior crown
#

or if you have Dawn

#

Dawn instead of Skyla to lower attack too

normal falcon
#

ooooh alright

#

Does dawn have to have a specific move level

junior crown
#

Let Dawn tank first and sync with Sycamore

keen jasper
#

Yeah, Sycamore already boosts the speed

#

Also, Dawn can heal

junior crown
#

no, at 1/5 she aleady have x def MPR

#

and her passive is what lower attack

normal falcon
#

Aah alrighty

junior crown
#

just get her MPRs and MGR cuz she is slow

normal falcon
#

yeye

#

Sync with syca then leaf then syca synchro?

junior crown
#

yeah, only sync with SS Leaf after all are poisoned

#

Sycamore > SS Leaf > Sycamore forever

normal falcon
#

Gotcha

junior crown
#

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

normal falcon
#

DAWN SCYA SSLEAF WORKED

junior crown
#

good 🙂

#

was it hard??

normal falcon
#

Uhhh i mightve just had good rng but no, it was first try

#

Easily the most stressful part was the sides

junior crown
#

I did here but everyone is 140 and my Dawn is 5/5 EX, so it's not the same

normal falcon
#

But sycamore horn leech worked

keen jasper
#

I onced poison stalled without SS Leaf

normal falcon
#

that said

Man does she make it so much better

keen jasper
#

Yeah, I poison stalled in non-MM

junior crown
#

well now for champ

#

do you need help?

normal falcon
#

uhhhhhhh

junior crown
#

Or are you set?

normal falcon
#

Ill try it on my own

#

Im thinkin of doin SSBlue / Blaine / SSErika as dps

junior crown
#

Don't really need Blaine

#

it's perm field effects

normal falcon
#

yeah but it streamlines the process and extra sunny days never hurt

#

oh wack nvm

junior crown
#

If it doesn't work, Steven sets psychic terain by himsenf

#

so you can offtype easier with Giovanni

normal falcon
#

oh yeah i could LuSSa nuke it

junior crown
#

or LuSSa yeah

normal falcon
#

But i wanna try ontype

#

Do zones override terrain?

junior crown
#

no

normal falcon
#

Dang

junior crown
#

I went Sun + Grass Terrain

normal falcon
#

Wait you can set terrain now?

#

for grass

junior crown
#

SS Lyra

mellow linden
#

SS Lyra

normal falcon
#

i see

#

For someone whos favorite games were hgss

#

I still question why i skipped the johto VA

junior crown
#

SS Lyra really OP, I don't even use her as DPS

keen jasper
#

SS Lyra is busted until they give enemies permanent resilience

normal falcon
#

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

junior crown
#

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

normal falcon
#

jesus fucking christ.

mellow linden
#

SS Lyra packs a stupid amount into her kit, yeah

keen jasper
normal falcon
#

** **

mellow linden
#

Her and SS Kris have amazing role compression

keen jasper
#

Ahhh

#

I still think SS Morty is better than SS Kris

normal falcon
#

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

keen jasper
#

I need SS Giovanni because I need a proper ground-type unit

#

I got him before

mellow linden
#

IMO you can’t compare SS Morty and SS Kris because Morty is more defense-oriented and Kris is more offense-oriented

mellow linden
keen jasper
#

I mean SS Morty has +2 offensive stats and most units are missing 1 or 2 of their offensive stats

normal falcon
#

Oh yknow what i 3/5ed gladion during ash pulls i think

#

Arent he and C!Red really good for "off-typing"

mellow linden
keen jasper
mellow linden
#

Ah

keen jasper
#

And I still want Lucian HildaCry

mellow linden
#

If you’re willing to 3/5 her with candies Cynthia’s really powerful with her grid expansion

junior crown
mellow linden
#

In case you wanna grab a good Ground striker right now

junior crown
#

And, the new free pair will be good

#

Naomi might be enough for any ground weak stages

keen jasper
#

I guess I'll only have 3 weeks of fun for the Unova CS

mellow linden
#

Ah, true. We’re getting a freebie that offers good Sp. Atk. Ground damage

keen jasper
#

I really wonder if Olivia will really be enough for Alder

old orchid
#

a bit overkill

keen jasper
#

Olivia, Skyla and Bertha?

mellow linden
#

If Olivia’s 3/5 she’ll be more than sufficient

#

I personally like Hop/Hilbert/Sonia + Olivia + Acerola/Bertha

keen jasper
#

I also still don't have Hilbert

#

Those 10x scout tickets gave me so much SS Grimsleys

junior crown
#

And remeber, for CS there is always at least 1 person that does 10k full F2P

mellow linden
#

That’s why I have Hop as a suggestion there. Does the important aspects Hilbert provides

junior crown
#

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)

grizzled nova
#

So making BP Sophocles work was a challenge

#

but it worked eventually

#

boi hits hard

dark osprey
#

It's only because of the paralysis condition needed

grizzled nova
#

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

dark osprey
#

Could use Skyla to get the tough cookie quickly

grizzled nova
#

Ya then it's just his attack

dark osprey
#

But mine was EX though 😬

#

So not sure

normal falcon
#

So i need help for steven actuallt

grizzled nova
#

i found Aaron decent, buffs the remaining attack + 1 crit, so one dire hit + and one TM and hes fully offensive outside of Def

normal falcon
#

SSErika / SSBlue / Lisia was my team but no healing kinda hurts it

dark osprey
#

Ah that's better I guess

normal falcon
#

And my LuSSa nuke button

Isnt working

dark osprey
#

Why Lisia though?

#

Ss erika seems good enough tbh

normal falcon
#

Defog

keen jasper
#

Honestly, I'd replace Lisia for Silver

normal falcon
#

My silver isnt EXed :(

junior crown
#

and why is that?

#

missed his event?

normal falcon
#

yea

keen jasper
junior crown
#

I'd go with sync bonus effect and go with a debuffer then

keen jasper
#

He can destroy Steven with Solar Beam

junior crown
#

yeah and just sync with SS Erika

keen jasper
#

2x DPS with Silver and SS Erika

junior crown
#

I always forget he has Solar Beam...

normal falcon
#

Oooh rad

#

Im doin SSBlue - Silver - SSErika, gotcha

#

Pre sync or post sync?

junior crown
#

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)

normal falcon
#

Yeye

#

I freakin DID IT

trail smelt

Congrats

#

Unova is next CS right?

vapid notch
#

any hints for sidney

junior crown
#

there are some in the pins

vapid notch
junior crown
#

Which round you doing him and what's your roster?

keen jasper
junior crown
#

My hint would be kill before sync, but that depends on what you have...

rose ermine
#

Can this do 4k

wary plume
#

pretty sure anything is possible with lyra scrimply

iron oar
simple storm
#

U gonna need to paralize phoebe

#

Also use volkner for terrain

latent flax
#

Can this team best glacia I keep losing at one of the side people left

swift swan
#

You should be fine. Sync with SS Blue first to gain more bulk and Safety Net

#

Would've been nice if he was EXd

latent flax
#

I was always syncing with bae first

latent flax
eternal cobalt
#

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

swift swan
# latent flax I was always syncing with bae first

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

latent flax
#

I only have Sydney and drake left to beat

#

Which of these my units can I use for it

mellow linden
#

Hard Mode or Master Mode?

toxic cobalt
#

You have SS Serena and SS Steven

mellow linden
#

Also, for future reference, it’s easier to show us your roster if you screenshot from the Move Level menu

latent flax
#

Hard mode

latent flax
latent flax
#

But I'll do the next time thanks

mellow linden
#

So SS Serena + 2 Supports and SS Steven + 2 supports should be easy clears, and you could try Brendan + Blaine + Skyla for Steven

latent flax
#

Hmm okay lemme go try that

#

SS Serena prefers sp atk supports right

mellow linden
#

She only needs defenses and speed (and maybe +1 crit) because she maxes Attack and Sp. Atk. in one turn and has Dire Hit+

latent flax
#

Oh

#

What's the max stacks for my buff

#

I thought they stacked infinitely or sth

mellow linden
#

Bald guy with Ponyta (Rapidash if you evolved it)

hot shadow
latent flax
latent flax
#

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

mellow linden
#

He’s in one of your screenshots, you have him

#

Quick screenshot of me zooming in on your screenshot to show him more clearly:

latent flax
#

Thanks for the help

#

Does Brendan and blaine have any synergy

#

Brendan is using treeko a leaf type while ponyta is fire type

toxic cobalt
#

Some grass types can benefit from sun due to skills in their grid

hallow star
#

Wow golisopod sucks

old orchid
#

Say that again

hallow star
#

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

random moth
#

Oops wrong chat

latent flax
#

Does my option here affect anything

toxic cobalt
#

Yes. Pick whatever is best for your team.

latent flax
#

Hmm

#

Does treeko benefit from sunny weather

toxic cobalt
#

Only if gridded to

latent flax
#

Mine isn't gridded at all

trail smelt
#

Then no

#

What about the rest of your team

latent flax
#

But his dmg against Steven is nothing at all

#

He's doing 900 dmg per hit

hallow star
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

Are you setting up with dire hit and the other tm before your first sync?

latent flax
latent flax
#

My Brenden is 1/5 does that still benefit from sunny weather

patent quarry
#

Can I beat glacia with these

keen jasper
patent quarry
#

Yes

keen jasper
patent quarry
#

Yeah rip

#

I randomly used em thought it was easy

#

I could get cobalion

#

But it's a support

toxic cobalt
#

What round is this?

keen jasper
#

I guess your only option is to off-type

patent quarry
latent flax
#

I'm having trouble with steven

keen jasper
latent flax
#

That's my team

keen jasper
#

I guess replace Brendan and use Silver with Solar Beam

latent flax
#

Who's silver

keen jasper
#

Free fire physical DPS

latent flax
#

Okay lemme go get em

keen jasper
#

But he can also be used for Solar Beam damage and it's good

high monolith
latent flax
#

Thanks

#

These units will be given enough to ex then right

patent quarry
#

Does CS gets changed every week?

#

Like this week is hoen

#

And next week will be others?

toxic cobalt
#

Changes every month

Oh ok

# patent quarry 4

You could try running Giovanni and SSRCynthia with a good tank. Is mistyduck available.?

latent flax
#

By how much does sunny weather power solar beam

patent quarry
#

I almost beat glacia with that core

#

But the tank is a problem

#

I don't have a good one rn

toxic cobalt
#

Well you shoudl get the duck at some point soon, but will take a few days. what supports do you have?

patent quarry
#

Could solgaleo and cobalion

#

Of any use

#

If i get em rn

toxic cobalt
#

Could be, just runs into the same tank issue

#

Skyla or Roxanne available?

patent quarry

#

I tried Roxanne , Cynthia ,Mewtwo and failed

toxic cobalt
#

Are you using Mewtwo's ghost move in ghost zone?

patent quarry
#

Yeah

#

Shadow ball spam after ghost wish

toxic cobalt
#

Are you focusing on mid first?

patent quarry
#

Should I use Morty or Sabrina

keen jasper
patent quarry
#

F2p

#

Bp one

keen jasper
#

Mismagius?

dusty path
#

BP Morty is a great tank

keen jasper
#

Hmmmm

patent quarry
#

Sabrina and alakazam

patent quarry
keen jasper
#

Morty is great defensively while Sabrina is great offensively

toxic cobalt
#

Sabrina and Alakazam might be a really good option

#

If you can get a screen up and then use her to buff Gio

patent quarry
#

Ss Misty

#

Ssr

#

Ss red

patent quarry
#

Upgrading her to lv120 should be enough right

toxic cobalt
#

Yep

keen jasper
#

Steven kinda does hybrid damage

#

@patent quarry What fight are you doing again?

keen jasper
patent quarry
#

It didn't work nvm

#

Sabrina isnt tanky enough

keen jasper
#

Sabrina is oriented to tank special attacks, which is what Glacia mostly does

Crit or supereffective only?

What's his sync grid supposed to be like

keen jasper
#

Hold on

latent flax
#

Okay

keen jasper
latent flax
#

What's his power boost

keen jasper
latent flax
#

Is that from ex?

keen jasper
#

EX just makes his sync hit all enemies, power boost is completely different

latent flax
#

Freak

keen jasper
#

This is with his power boost

latent flax
#

Can he still so Steven without the power boost

#

I see I'll just do the ones available on mine

keen jasper
#

Whether it's SS Erika, Selene, Silver or Maxie

latent flax
#

This is my sync grid

mellow linden
#

Yeah, Silver gets more grid tiles from an event, but he doesn’t need it for Solar Beam spam against Steven

keen jasper
#

Wait

#

Ok

#

This is my non-power boost grid for Solar Beam Silver

#

Weather Warrior 3 can obviously be changed for Critical Strike 2

latent flax
#

Had an even worse loss

#

It was only doing around 670 dmg

#

The solar beam that is

mellow linden
#

What team did you end up using?

nimble shell
rose ermine
#

How are my teams for next week?

keen jasper
nimble shell
#

I thought alder is both DPS and sync nuke

keen jasper
nimble shell
#

2

latent flax
nimble shell
#

I sync with ex skyla before this

mellow linden
#

I think Alder only gets Sync nuke at 3/5, right?

keen jasper
nimble shell
#

Luckily breathtaking proc thrice

nimble shell
keen jasper
rose ermine
nimble shell
#

When? The diantha banner?

keen jasper
#

Besides, if SC Emmet reruns then you'll practically have the best bug-type nuker in the game

nimble shell
#

Oh alder is not best bug?

keen jasper
#

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

latent flax
#

Okay now it's doing 2900 per hit

#

But my supports dying too fast

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

What’s your team right now?

keen jasper
#

You need to use Silver's TM under sun

latent flax
latent flax
keen jasper
#

4 Sp. Atk. rise

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

Yeah, try to get him to 120 if you can

latent flax
#

No energy to get level mats

mellow linden
#

Ah, that’s unfortunate

keen jasper
#

Then I guess you'll have to wait until tomorrow and a few days until Monday

mellow linden
#

Well, worst case scenario you can always wait a day or 2, there’s still half a week until CS reset

latent flax
#

Okay I'll do that

#

Energy takes forever to restore

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

That as well

latent flax
#

9hrs to restore 145 energy

latent flax
keen jasper
latent flax
#

Welp

keen jasper
latent flax
#

That's the Rest of my box anything that can work for that fight there

mellow linden
#

So since your Brendan doesn’t have any grid for Sun you could just do Rosa + Skyla + Brendan

latent flax
keen jasper
#

But mainly from co-op

latent flax
#

Any coop rn

keen jasper
#

Better to wait for gear events

#

Like the electric gear event coming

latent flax
#

Okay

golden stratus
#

Hello

keen jasper
#

Hi

mellow linden
#

Greetings

dusty path
#

General Kenobi

golden stratus
#

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

mellow linden
#

For general teambuilding #poma-questions is probably better, but for CS teams specifically this is the right place

dusty path
#

Screenshots from the upgrades menu is best

#

Rather than from the team build screen

golden stratus
#

okie so I'm on hard 1 cs

#

the Kanto thing

#

But idk who to invest in so

mellow linden
#

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

golden stratus
#

I need four dmg dealers right

#

each for the elite four?

mellow linden
#

5

dusty path
#

5, including champion

golden stratus
#

Oh

mellow linden
#

The Elite 4 + the Champion

golden stratus
#

I already did one of them

#

and I used my strongest dps already 💀

sacred mountain
#

Actually hating Hoenn CS my only 10k was week 1

keen jasper
mellow linden
golden stratus
#

I have no bug types

#

Ruh roh

toxic cobalt
#

Round 1 and 3 are easy to poison due to the field parameters

mellow linden
golden stratus
dusty path
#

Yep

golden stratus
#

These are what I have

#

I can just upgrade them if I need to

dusty path
#

Gladion can be any type

mellow linden
#

Gladion is any type

golden stratus
#

do u need a conditio

#

To change it

mellow linden
#

He’s sorta your duct-tape for hitting weaknesses

dusty path
#

Have a look at his TM

mellow linden
#

He just needs to use his Trainer Move and he’ll change type

dusty path
#

based on the weakness of the targeted opponent

nimble shell
#

Still can't 10k this weekWhitneySad

If only I can ex Persian

Could you try some of these?

Ya not enough coupon

Will wait until next week

golden stratus
#

What are some nice team mates with gladion

#

that are f2p

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

Hop is another good one

fading arrow
#

what's the general strategy for sidney? do you think cynthia+red can take care of him?

#

i'm assuming deny the zone?

keen jasper
fading arrow
#

will darach work? feather dance and defog?

keen jasper
#

You just need someone to buff Def. to your team

fading arrow
#

cynthia

#

so cynthia+darach+dps?

keen jasper
#

What round is that?

fading arrow
#

2k sidney

keen jasper
fading arrow
#

oof sorry what does that mean

keen jasper
fading arrow
keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

If you time Darach well I think you can win

#

This is new Cynthia?

fading arrow
toxic cobalt
#

Do you have a good physical dps?

fading arrow
#

I can get Red

#

I have Groudon and Mawile 1/5

toxic cobalt
#

You could run Mawile with Hop

#

That would be a good post-sync team

fading arrow
#

Guzma 2/5 no grid but i can grid hin

#

Mawile Hop. Cyn or Darach?

toxic cobalt
#

You should be able to override dark zone with steel zone

#

So no need for Darach

fading arrow
#

Oh ok. So cynthia then

#

Do i just spam growl?

toxic cobalt
#

You can, keep in mind Sidney is a bit mixed

fading arrow
toxic cobalt
#

Worth a try!

lunar meadow
#

I just got here...

Zones overwriting zones?

fading arrow
#

Mortys killing mortys

lunar meadow
#

Oh, bringing Mawile to overwrite Sidney's zone, not to actually power up your damage dealers?

fading arrow
lunar meadow
#

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.

swift swan
#

And terrains overwrite terrains

#

But terrain and zone can activate at the same time

keen jasper
#

Only the same type of fields can override each other

toxic cobalt
keen jasper
#

But also Cynthia too so pick your poison

toxic cobalt
#

My poison is round 4

keen jasper
#

Unless they buff instead

lunar meadow
toxic cobalt
#

We can pick another tank. Just need some way to counter dark zone.

vague furnace
#

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

keen jasper
#

Or more specifically, which E4 fight?

vague furnace
#

Glacia

keen jasper
#

If you're using Dojo Gloria, it means you need a physical fire-type damage dealer

#

Probably someone like SS May or Silver

vague furnace
#

Isn't glacia fighting weak rn

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

On hard mode a strong off-typer should be fine

keen jasper
#

Then I guess you could probably do Korrina, Bea or Wally

vague furnace
#

Let me show you his box

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

I see a 2/5 Wally

vague furnace
#

Ash volkner misty gladion ssblue swimsuit misty (ik it isn't shown here but he got it after he took this)

keen jasper
#

SS Lyra is easy cheese for any stage

vague furnace
#

Yeah but since steven is grass weak I feel like it'd be better to use him there

toxic cobalt
#

You can run a special or a physical wally

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

No Sabrina?

keen jasper
#

Even Silver's Solar Beam is an easy W against Steven

#

Just need someone to set up sun and you're good to destroy

main falcon
#

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?

toxic cobalt
#

If you check the pins, there is a really really basic 850 points

#

which should apply to almost every stage

north crown
#

cuz if it's focus blast, I would suggest you don't use hop

#

and vice versa with roxanne

toxic cobalt
#

I think you can go higher, and then even higher with tweaks such as Nitsua suggests

main falcon
main falcon
north crown
#

torchic skyla

north crown
#

I don't think ash needs skyla as he already gives himself +3 speed

#

oh and phoebe uses all special moves this week

main falcon
#

Does Wally want Skyla? Roxanne buffs sp.atk and speed already, so I was looking for crit potion combos iirc

north crown
# north crown torchic skyla

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

main falcon
#

Oh you meant the two of them together instead of one replacing Hop
I see I see

north crown
#

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.

manic mica
#

if im not wrong solgaleo and wally are great for double focus blasting

north crown
#

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

manic mica
#

but you need an omni buffer like torchic

north crown
#

I usually run them with SSB

manic mica
#

SSB is great

main falcon
#

This makes sense, thanks a lot.
i don't own solgaleo (this is easily fixed)

keen jasper
#

And Glacia's HP is low anyways

manic mica
#

i actually used solgaleo with the wrong params and i still got through so you'll be fine

north crown
#

I used Solgaleo as main DPS with SSB and Elio

main falcon
#

I will try out the torchic team first since I was using blue elsewhere

north crown
#

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

manic mica
#

torchic is not bulky though, so gallade and solgeleo might struggle clearing fast

#

unless you take sol or gal out ig

north crown
north crown
keen jasper
#

Solgaleo can max out Sp. Atk. on its own, so you just need someone to buff crit

toxic cobalt
north crown
#

yeah. used it to tank in a fire weak stage for SSRed to demolish

manic mica
#

wait tbh i have torchic on 3* so don't take my word for it

#

wait i have to check

toxic cobalt
#

It tanks in my Marley Silver Torchic team

north crown
toxic cobalt
#

It won't tank for long, but it'll get you to pre-sync

manic mica
#

yeah i think maybe at least 4* for torchic to take an extra hit

#

but if you're running skyla then it's fine

north crown
#

O c e a n O f P o t i o n

toxic cobalt
keen jasper
#

1/5 Ash using his B Move against max strength and HP parameters Phoebe

#

He dealt the literal damage cap

austere quest
#

That’s insane

toxic cobalt
#

And on one sync buff too.

austere quest
#

^

#

Still struggling out here without any good Bug DPS and Bug Zone

keen jasper
#

The strongest move nuker in the game

#

And at 1/5 only

austere quest
#

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

toxic cobalt
keen jasper
#

I'm gonna try max HP, max strength and max defensive stats

austere quest
#

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

keen jasper
#

This is with max HP, strength and defensive parameters

austere quest
#

Going to try Poison Stall

toxic cobalt
austere quest
#

With Koga/Sycamore and Skyla

keen jasper
austere quest
#

Janine is better than Koga?

toxic cobalt
#

She is a debuffer

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

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

austere quest
#

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?

austere quest
#

Not sure how long he would last in the match against Sidney

toxic cobalt
#

Stall parameters are also in the pins

austere quest
#

Thank you

toxic cobalt
#

Can you get Janine to 100?

austere quest
#

Maybe

austere quest
toxic cobalt
#

As I mentioned leaf can work, as can mistyduck. Skyla might also work if gridded for potion mpr.

austere quest
#

Nope, don’t have her at 2/5 yet

#

Which is indeed weird now that I think about it

mellow linden
#

No 3-star Support candies?

austere quest
#

Nope

cold lake
#

@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.

austere quest
#

Also it doesn’t seem possible to win against Sidney with Toxic Stall

mellow linden
#

Sidney’s got a lot of offensive power, yeah. Probably the hardest to stall this week

austere quest
#

He just too much damage eventually and also his Sync OHKOs Janine and 2HKOs Koga

#

So I need to off type him

cold lake
#

Janine level 140?

austere quest
#

No

cold lake
#

welp

austere quest
#

Lvl 95

cold lake
#

level 95 is super low

austere quest
#

Yes

cold lake
#

for 2k MM at least

austere quest
#

I am trying to 850

#

Not 2k

cold lake
#

i suggest leveling up, not saying 140 but 130 is huge help. Also bring her up to 5 star if you want/can

austere quest
#

I can bring her to 4 Stars at least

cold lake
#

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

austere quest
#

But Sidney is still doing a lot of damage isn’t he?

junior crown
#

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

cold lake
#

^

#

the problem is 1400 ->2000 where you just pick +6 Strength

cold lake
junior crown
#

Xernear Erika and Iris should work fine

#

oh

cold lake
#

With Janine + Eevee you should reach -6 Atk/SpAtk enemy and also +4 Def/SpDef on you before enemy first sync.

junior crown
#

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...

austere quest
#

Yikes I am not getting anywhere fast

#

Those Seed Bombs keep dropping me plus Snarl

junior crown
#

Do you have Dawn?

austere quest
#

Currently my team

junior crown
#

Maybe Dawn + SS Leaf + Sycamore (I really like this team for poison stall)

austere quest
#

I don’t have Leaf

#

Like literally no variant

junior crown
#

can be BP Erika instead

austere quest
#

I don’t have her either

#

I will be aiming to get her though

#

All I need is to clear Sidney

junior crown
#

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

austere quest
#

That’s all I need and then I can take down Steven easily

junior crown
#

maybe instead of jasmine a def buffer

#

+6 def is better than -6 attack

austere quest
#

I have Sonia?

junior crown
#

cuz they have mitigation

#

yeah, Sonia should work

austere quest
#

Okay so Sonia instead of Janine?

#

Will try that instead

junior crown
#

you get more potions and +6 def

#

should be better

patent quarry
#

Steven

#

Thinking of using Rosa and brenden

#

I don't have any good grass strikers available

junior crown
#

Silver?

#

Brendan is 2/5 or 3/5+??

austere quest
#

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

junior crown
#

it's R4?

patent quarry
#

And yeah silvet

#

Silver , Brendan and Rosa maybe

junior crown
#

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

austere quest
#

I had no problems with anyone else

junior crown
#

so Brendan + Skyla is good

austere quest
#

Think it might because my other teams are just so underleveled compared to the rest

patent quarry
#

Imm use morty

junior crown
#

BP Morty is dark weak

patent quarry
#

Morty , Brendan and silver

#

For steven

junior crown
#

oh, you mean for Steven

austere quest
#

I have EX on SSBrendan with full Grid and EX on SSRed

patent quarry
#

Ss red still good?

#

I have him haven't really using him for a while

junior crown
#

Well, I offtyped using f2p pairs, so SS Red should worb better then them

patent quarry
#

For steven?

junior crown
austere quest
#

This is the team I am going to try to use against Sidney

austere quest
#

So going with what I posted and hoping that works

junior crown
junior crown
#

I offtyped Steven with Zinniaquaza Hop Winona

austere quest
#

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

quaint solar
junior crown
#

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

austere quest
#

I am using SS Morty, Maxie, SS Erika

austere quest
junior crown
#

yes

austere quest
#

I can maybe get her to 100

#

But not likely to be able to be beyond that

junior crown
#

Does Sycamore have Vigilance?

austere quest
#

Yes

junior crown
#

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

austere quest
#

Oh really?

#

Makes sense I guess

junior crown
#

R1 for poison stall

austere quest
#

Will probably try a reset then

quaint solar
austere quest
junior crown
junior crown
austere quest
#

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

sick inlet
#

Also, do you have Hilbert 3/5/Hop?

quaint solar
sick inlet
# quaint solar

Why not try post sync if you're dying to sync? (Also never put Max hp up in pre syncs)

clever bronze
#

I’m having trouble on r4 vs glacia

#

Can someone recommend me a team?

#

Bea dies to sync

sick inlet
clever bronze
#

I already used zerena on sidney

sick inlet
#

Tsk

#

Alternative

#

Bea. Full Nuke Build

clever bronze
#

what's that like?

sick inlet
#

Super pre-sync

#

Let me show you what I used

clever bronze
#

is it the Meteor Assault / Sync Nuke Minimal + Sharp Entry grid

sick inlet
#

So I did a 2v3 2k run

#

All I had was 3/5 Hilbert

clever bronze
#

Can you post the super presync params too?

sick inlet
#

Start with half hp

clever bronze
#

I used hilbert

sick inlet
#

Ah

clever bronze
#

using skyla and sonia

sick inlet
#

That works

#

Sonia 3/5?

clever bronze
#

yes

sick inlet
#

Okay that's good
