Champion Stadium

[versed garnet]

ill grind solgaleo real quick

[bleak eagle]

Sync orbs are pain

Im always running out cuz every weei i have to p much grid an entire team

And just as i say so i notice my solgaleo aint gridded

[full mesa]

It's a pain for new players.

[icy wraith]

So for master mode, who do i fight round 1?

[full mesa]

After you reach a steady 10k per week you won't have issues.

[grand trout]

You'd want to take advantage of weakened physical

So marshal or grimsley

[icy wraith]

Ah

[bleak eagle]

Currently im just doing 850 so i can farm some ex's

[sick inlet]

For each region, once you unlock MM it will remain

Unlocking MM in Unova means you get MM when unova is back. But if you didn't unlock mm in hoenn, then you won't have it next time

[full mesa]

Raise it to 1.5k. Unova it's easy.

[icy wraith]

What additional things to pick vs grimsley?

[sick inlet]

Why is my auto bot so dumb farming gears 😭

[full mesa]

What?

[bleak eagle]

Look at pins

[full mesa]

Wrong chat.

[trail smelt]

Yep

[icy wraith]

I dont understand that thing

[bleak eagle]

U see the one that says 850 standard

Just choose those parameters

[grand trout]

O..old man...?

[icy wraith]

For each fight?

[grand trout]

I doubt grimsley is in his 30s

[bleak eagle]

Isnt he old by the time of the sun and moon games

Wait fr?

[grand trout]

No he's just tired

[icy wraith]

Also why 850?

[bleak eagle]

Gives u exactly as many points to get the rewards for ex'ing characters while being only slightly more difficuly than hard mode

[grand trout]

The stress of gambling was the cause of white hair and eyebags

[icy wraith]

What are the other rewards then?

[bleak eagle]

So he's just v tired ajd stressed

[bleak eagle]

Battle point levels and some misc stuff iirc

[grand trout]

The power up ticket things

I too was scared of mm back then

But atk + x parameters aren't too hard

[bleak eagle]

When i get like, a row of ex's

Ill shoot for like, 8k points

[icy wraith]

Ive never done MM

so 850 for now?

[bleak eagle]

Also sorry for calling grimsley old man

Yeah, 850

[icy wraith]

Same para each fight right?

[keen jasper]

I kinda want to have some fun right now in MM

Too bad I have to wait next week

[icy wraith]

F

[bleak eagle]

Yeah, it should work on all

Ask if its taking u too many retries just in case

Sometimes its rng issue, sometimes parameter issue, u never know

Also, my god, vigilance on some units makes a crazy huge difference

[icy wraith]

Now to the teambuilding

Steel weakness yikes

[keen jasper]

Remember that crits ignore enemy buffs

[icy wraith]

Uhh

[keen jasper]

Crits even ignore screens

[icy wraith]

Who do i bring

[keen jasper]

Grimsley?

[bleak eagle]

[icy wraith]

Yeah

[bleak eagle]

Das news to me, sorry

[keen jasper]

I'd say Solgaleo because it's the only one with fully unlocked grid

[bleak eagle]

Im basically a kindergarten kid teaching other kids, ik a bit more rhan average, but at the end of the day im still on the same train lol

[keen jasper]

And also has accuracy buff to counter Grimsley's evade after his sync

[icy wraith]

He doesnt have a grid tho

And i dont have any sync orbs left

[bleak eagle]

Dont u get the orbs for free on their exchange shop?

[icy wraith]

Idk

[bleak eagle]

Did u finish his event?

[full mesa]

We've all been there..

[icy wraith]

Idk

[full mesa]

Trial and error.

[icy wraith]

Yeah i did

Tou dont get orbs

You

[full mesa]

Which unit do we talk about?

[icy wraith]

Solgaleo

[full mesa]

You don't get orbs for it. Only max level sync move.

[grand trout]

Tbh Aegislash is a good unit

Provided he's gridded

[icy wraith]

He is not

[grand trout]

Ah, nvm then

[icy wraith]

Ill guess i Just have to rock solgaleo

But idk who else

[grand trout]

Solgaleo is gauge hungry

And can't buff crit

[full mesa]

Solgaleo/Hop/Speed support

[grand trout]

So you need to supplement that

[full mesa]

That's the basic team

[trail smelt]

Solgaleo needs Crit and Speed/move gauge acceleration

[icy wraith]

Ss blue?

[trail smelt]

He works

[icy wraith]

He is my only ex support tho

[full mesa]

No.

Keep him. Try with something non-ex.

[grand trout]

Do you have leaf

Or bugscyther

Or better yet, who are your supports

[bleak eagle]

Man, when are they gonna rerun the bugsy pair

Or the ho oh ex event

I missed both

[patent quarry]

@manic mica who did u pick from victory road

[bleak eagle]

[icy wraith]

My supports @grand trout

[manic mica]

ss red kek

[patent quarry]

Should have picked blue

[bleak eagle]

Ss red if u want a powerful striker, blue if u wajt a powerful supporr

[patent quarry]

I exed ss blue today

[manic mica]

yeahh if i knew silver was gonna be broken asf i wouldve picked blue

[bleak eagle]

I need a mpve candy for that man, he's good at lvl 2 but i proc that heal on atk so little

That it makes me feel like the heal on being hit is better

[patent quarry]

I picked green for 3/5

[icy wraith]

So which supporter do i pick

[bleak eagle]

I still only have blue but my god, when he shines, he SHINES, you know?

[grand trout]

Aww skyla is 4*

She can do speed

[icy wraith]

I can make her 5*

[bleak eagle]

What u want with skyla is ex tbh

[grand trout]

Also i think morty can help with gauge, i might be wrong

Ss morty*

[bleak eagle]

Or well, there was an event that gave a free ex for skyla

[icy wraith]

Isnt he like super good

[grand trout]

I don't have him so I'm not familiar with his kit

[icy wraith]

Maybe i should save him

[grand trout]

Drake can help with gauge and defenses

[bleak eagle]

Were was the grid document btw? Need to grid some ppl

[grand trout]

Idk if he can survive mm though

WAIT

Sonia

...wait is sonia mga on the grid or innate

[tribal agate]

innate

by using potion

it's catalyzing recovery passive

[grand trout]

Sonia it is then

[last palm]

Anything hard this week sadly i havent finished 18 metal yet

[bleak eagle]

Why are ppl using ex guzma instead of lusamine? Been seeinf an awful lot of guzmas

[versed garnet]

how about fairy

[bleak eagle]

[last palm]

Because he has sync multiply and harder to die

and self buff

[bleak eagle]

Hmmm, maybe im sleeping on guzma

[grand trout]

There will be 3 types you can't cover this week.

[versed garnet]

ok

[tacit matrix]

Strong off-type > Guzma on-type

[last palm]

Offtype isnt fun

[toxic cobalt]

Poor Guzma

[bleak eagle]

Tbh i should play smarter, i ex'd bea just cuz i wanted to beat the bertha stage

[toxic cobalt]

Fair tbh

[icy wraith]

What

[bleak eagle]

But the smarter decision was like, green and eevee

[last palm]

No Bea is goat

[icy wraith]

I Just pulled her 3/5

[grand trout]

Sonia can accelerate gauge

[toxic cobalt]

You could offtype with Bea

[grand trout]

If you use potion

[icy wraith]

Oh

Really

[last palm]

I never regret ex her use her in most CS till now

[grand trout]

Tackle defense crush will also make those sunsteel strikes harder

[trail smelt]

Because Guzma is MAH BOI

[bleak eagle]

I mean, in theory, im guaranteed ssa cynthia

So suddenly ex bea is v v good

[last palm]

dont need SSR cynthia

[bleak eagle]

But since idk if ppl took in consideration me besting everything, i wanted to beat bertha pt 2 just in case

Actually ill ask in general, brb

[frosty axle]

Posted my F2P video in here https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1016295875124924488

[magic crown]

Do my teams look good next week im off typing ice and flying

[icy wraith]

@grand trout so this?

[grand trout]

Yes good luck

[icy wraith]

Might need to lvl them up tbh

[grand trout]

Oh yeah

And pick the correct params

[magic crown]

??

[icy wraith]

I did the 850 one

[last palm]

2000pt?

I see

Hp params good tho

[icy wraith]

Should they target hop or Sonia first?

[last palm]

Just a bit slow

[grand trout]

Oh i don't pick hp params. Ever

[toxic cobalt]

Always target Hop

[grand trout]

Except for stall

[icy wraith]

Poor hop

[last palm]

dont have to think about big damage

[toxic cobalt]

Hop lives for it

[grand trout]

He can tank it.

[icy wraith]

With who do i sync? Solgaleo?

[grand trout]

Yes

[icy wraith]

What lvl should they be at

120?

Or 130?

[magic crown]

You see I'mma need some help from one of you please

[grand trout]

Try as i might i couldn't because we don't know the rounds next week

And even if we do i work best if i played the stage first

[icy wraith]

Here goes nothing

[dull yarrow]

What do you need help with

[magic crown]

I just wanted to know if I could do a 10k run with those teams I showed

[dull yarrow]

Yes

[toxic cobalt]

Yes

[magic crown]

Sweet

Thank you

[manic kiln]

yes but still depends on your skills and rotations, but if you clear this week you should be fine

[icy wraith]

LETS GO FIRST TRY

[grand trout]

Yay

Now remind me what's round 2

[icy wraith]

Use physical attack vs low defense

[grand trout]

Well you can do either shauntal or caitlin

[icy wraith]

Caitlin should be easy

[grand trout]

The latter if you have physical electric

[icy wraith]

I got red and ash

[grand trout]

Oh nvm then

Let's do shauntal

Who are your grounds

[icy wraith]

Ok

Same para?

[last palm]

Just do 2000pt with them

[grand trout]

Yeah sure

[icy wraith]

Wait so same para or 2000?

Ss Serena has a ground move too right?

[last palm]

2000

Solo run

[grand trout]

Yes let's use zerena

[icy wraith]

With red and ash sure lol

[grand trout]

Zerena needs gauge badly

[last palm]

no i mean with ash

[icy wraith]

Ok who is next

Ah

So much gauge

I become gauge

[grand trout]

Well shauntal will be annoying

She will inflict hypnosis and confusion

[icy wraith]

Not if i can do that first

[grand trout]

And her attacks are special so you want a special wall

[icy wraith]

Elio?

[grand trout]

Sure elio could work

[icy wraith]

Ok

Now for the 3rd unit

[grand trout]

Ss blue

Right?

Because gauge

[icy wraith]

Thats my only ex supporter

[grand trout]

Might as well use him now

[icy wraith]

Ok

[grand trout]

Shauntal will fuck you over

[icy wraith]

Who do i sync with first

[grand trout]

Hmm, tricky.

[icy wraith]

And who is the first target?

[grand trout]

Ss blue

[versed garnet]

i ended up using a stall team on caitlin instead, i cant get MM for a bit but its fine for me tbh, atleast i got SSSteven EX finally

[grand trout]

Why do i feel this will be bad

[icy wraith]

Because its probably gonna be bad

[grand trout]

How many types did you clear with

[versed garnet]

im not done yet

[icy wraith]

Should i sync with ss blue first for double sync buff?

[versed garnet]

i havent tried the other teams yet, im taking a short break

[grand trout]

I'm conflicted

I wanna say ss blue but going 100 zygarde is essential too

[icy wraith]

I see

[grand trout]

Fuck it try ss blue first

[icy wraith]

Aight

Wish me luck

Ill need it

[bleak eagle]

Trial and error me friendo

But not too much trial and error or else you will be resetting for like an hpur cuz BLUE DOESNT WANNA HEAL WHEN HE ATK

[icy wraith]

Lmao

This was fucking easy

@grand trout aight who is next?

[grand trout]

Status condition thing, right

[icy wraith]

Yep

[grand trout]

Who are your poisons?

[icy wraith]

Same para?

[grand trout]

Depends

Who are your poisons?

[bleak eagle]

I think you can do poison stall

But i cant recall ur poison units

[grand trout]

Yes that's why im asking kek

[bleak eagle]

Janine 3*

[grand trout]

Do you have ss leaf?

[bleak eagle]

Preposterous

[last palm]

seem like good looker roll

[icy wraith]

No

[icy wraith]

Roll?

[grand trout]

Tragique

[bleak eagle]

Do u have uh

Bp tangela

[last palm]

I mean scout

[grand trout]

Koga could nuke marshal with the right units

[bleak eagle]

[icy wraith]

That team i have right there is the team i beat him last time with

[bleak eagle]

Last stall team i used had tangela, janine and skyla

[grand trout]

Do you want to stall or not

[icy wraith]

Idk

[last palm]

Cant poison with leaf tho

[icy wraith]

Is it good?

[grand trout]

You can with ss leaf

[last palm]

remember that guys

[icy wraith]

I can make janine 5 star

[bleak eagle]

Tangela

[toxic cobalt]

Janine's star is irrelevant

[last palm]

His whole team is grass tho

I tried 0pt and have to poison by jannie

[grand trout]

Yes, you just need to apply the poison

Worked for me

[icy wraith]

Just apply the poison?

[grand trout]

Ss leaf can poison on razor leaf

[icy wraith]

Hol up

[last palm]

i dunno but my leaf low whole team def to -6 and none got poison

[toxic cobalt]

Man, no debuffers and it worked? Hardcore.

[grand trout]

Yeah it's luck

[grand trout]

Ss leaf can debuff though

[toxic cobalt]

She cna't poison after she syncs

She debuffs defence sure

[grand trout]

I have mind games on koga

[last palm]

Just knew that

[bleak eagle]

Can u send ur koga's grid? Im compelled to grid him seeing as he's apparently v good now

[last palm]

I thought pokemon game logic apply here

[icy wraith]

Wtf

[grand trout]

Hmm i think you should just stall @icy wraith

[icy wraith]

Can you even poison him

I didnt get a single poison off on his team

And after sync you cant poison him

[grand trout]

Who are you using to poison though

[bleak eagle]

Do u happen to have a bp ticket

[grand trout]

Also you might have status condition guard param lol

[bleak eagle]

I swear y'all sleeping on that infestation/poison combo

[grand trout]

I'm not

It's just I haven't used poison stall in a while

[bleak eagle]

Also thanks for the grid frost

[grand trout]

De rien

[icy wraith]

Oh yeah I do

[bleak eagle]

I need soooooo many orbs rn, ill prob use some lodge stones on orbs

[last palm]

Gave up poison stall and post sync params since Hoenn CS

[icy wraith]

Ima change it for something else

[toxic cobalt]

I prefer this for stalling

[full mesa]

Don't. Do minimal build. Only get enough tiles until you reach the red or yellow tile you want. As you spend more and more time the orbs will come.

[grand trout]

Yeah i nuked with koga lol

My build is more offensive

[toxic cobalt]

Koga nuke is a sweet build

[nova galleon]

Any team suggestions for 15/18 medal

[toxic cobalt]

What strikers do you want to use?

[full mesa]

Just use whatever. I tanked Shauntal with Maxie.

[icy wraith]

Ok maybe raising their max hp wasnt a good idea

[full mesa]

It never is.

Unless you stall

[grand trout]

Nope

[bleak eagle]

Das the thing my good person, im doing minimals, having to do minimals for like 7 different pairs is the difference

[grand trout]

Max the attack params

[icy wraith]

What

[full mesa]

Chill. For now start doing minimal and aim for 7.5k in MM. Most units don't need grids to work in that difficultly level. Unova is easy.

It'll take time. I know the frustration.

[grand trout]

Pick all attack parameters

[frosty axle]

After playing Hoenn and Alola, Unova feels like hard mode

[toxic cobalt]

What?

[full mesa]

I haven't try the MM yet. Need to unlock it.

[grand trout]

@icy wraith how's marshal

[frosty axle]

Alola and Hoenn should have been lvl 2

[toxic cobalt]

Alola and Hoenn?

[icy wraith]

I dont wanna talk about it

[full mesa]

Alola wasn't that bad. Hoenn is just an easier Sinnoh.

[frosty axle]

mean Sinnoh

[grand trout]

Are you stalling?

[full mesa]

Emotional damaged.

[icy wraith]

They already do so much damage

[grand trout]

You need different parameters if you're gonna stall

[icy wraith]

And my poison luck is horrible

[grand trout]

First off

Are you nukinh

Or stalling

[icy wraith]

Stalling

[nova galleon]

@frosty axle which team should I used for 15/18 medal

[toxic cobalt]

Are you using the poison stall parameters in the pins?

[icy wraith]

The 1550pt one

?

[grand trout]

@icy wraith use 2k status stall params

[toxic cobalt]

I asked you last time, what strikers do you want to use?

[grand trout]

Or 1.5k lol

[icy wraith]

Im doing 2k

Rn

[grand trout]

2k it is

[icy wraith]

Ill try 2k

[grand trout]

Now we construct your stall team

Marshal is physical so you want a tank

For physical

[timber summit]

What's a good team and order for this weeks CS, I have no medals completed already and want to do MM next week already

[grand trout]

Next, a poison setter, and Janine to debuff the stats of the opponents

[full mesa]

Choose an on type striker and add 2 more types. It's child's laugh this week.

[timber summit]

Ok thanks, which order is good?

[full mesa]

Badly poison setter. Not poison. You have to differentiate on that.

[full mesa]

Doesn't matter.

[grand trout]

Oh yes, thanks.

[timber summit]

K, thank youuu

[icy wraith]

Oh wait

I kinda hopped in already

[full mesa]

If you fail, resent your roster and we'll build actual teams.

[grand trout]

A good bad poison setter is ss leaf. If you don't have her, tangela is a good free unit

[icy wraith]

Died instantly

Tangela?

[grand trout]

Do you have a bp ticket

[bleak eagle]

Abt time someone mentioned my tangly boi

[icy wraith]

Yeah i got her now

[bleak eagle]

[grand trout]

Alright good. She has toxic so guaranteed bad poison

And you'd want janine. Venom drench will weaken everyone poisoned, so it's a good move to spam while you're tanking

Now we just need someone who can withstand Marshal's blows.

[full mesa]

Every physical tank with heal ever

[grand trout]

Dawn is good

[full mesa]

Not really

[grand trout]

But her heal only works once

[icy wraith]

Uhh

[full mesa]

I would use Skyla or even Hop

[grand trout]

Alternatively, you can use skyla

[toxic cobalt]

Mistyduxk

[icy wraith]

Ok skyla it is

[grand trout]

Hop already used

[full mesa]

Mortmagious/SSACynthia

Eevee

There are options.

[icy wraith]

I have to go to work now

[grand trout]

Yeah mortymagius is good too

[icy wraith]

Ill try it during break

[grand trout]

Plus sweet sweet flinch

[icy wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/goodbye-bye-bye-cat-bye-bye-gif-25847566

[grand trout]

Just be like me and play at work hours

[full mesa]

Ok. Don't stress. You have a whole week in front of you.

[icy wraith]

Lmao

[grand trout]

But yeah good luck

Wait

Before you go

@icy wraith do you understand the mechanics behind stall now right

[nova galleon]

@toxic cobalt Any but I should win with that striker

[icy wraith]

Just poison

Then spam with janine

Thats it

[grand trout]

Yup

[icy wraith]

Now byeee

[grand trout]

Ok go work now au revoir and all that balderdash

[toxic cobalt]

Sample stall teams #1011675077764456519 message

[icy wraith]

Lmao i work at a supermarket

[grand trout]

I really like using viola for stall

Pity i couldn't recommend it for marshal because she's a special tank

But i like hearing her french accent

[toxic cobalt]

Viola is really good for spatk stall i agree

[sick inlet]

Viola pretty impressive

She gets regn if you save her TM

Giving her more survivability

[mighty moon]

Anyone have the image for the stadium types for each week for the month?

[eternal mist]

1st pin by lost

[mighty moon]

Thank you

[limpid wyvern]

newbie question. how do ppl get 18 pcs in the first week? lol i can only get 15 cos i assume its just one type per slot :((

[toxic cobalt]

You can't

[sick inlet]

It is one type per slot.

[mellow linden]

You can't do all 18 types week 1, yeah. Some people are able to do Master Mode week 1 because they already completed the full medal or enough of it to finish it this week from a previous run of that region's CS, as medal progress doesn't reset once a region leaves

[sick inlet]

People who already got MM this week is because this is not their first Unova CS

[frosty axle]

this is like the 5th rerun

[mellow linden]

And Unova CS has had...what, 3 or 4 runs before this one?

So a large amount of us had our medals completed ages ago

[limpid wyvern]

OHH ok got it! started playing around 2 mos ago lol didnt know they carrt over. oki thank uuu

[sick inlet]

It carries over per region

So unlocking MM next week doesn't mean you will have let's say MM Kanto next month (we don't know what is next month)

[mellow linden]

Unova medal carries over through all Unova CS runs, Johto medal carries over through all Johto CS runs, etc.

[bleak eagle]

Should i fight caitlin for round 2?

I want to nuke with N already

[mellow linden]

Not the worst candidate for it, but keep in mind that she does have physical moves

[sick inlet]

Isn't round two physical attacks?

N can wipe though

[mellow linden]

yeah, physical moves are boosted round 2

[magic crown]

Anyone used kimono grimsley here

[bleak eagle]

So who should i fight round 2 then

[mellow linden]

I personally haven't, but I don't see why he wouldn't work

[magic crown]

He has a strong nuke

[sick inlet]

That's an overkilling team

[mellow linden]

Shauntal's the "best" one for it since I believe she only has special moves this week, but if you want to do Caitlin that's fine, you just have to be aware that some of her moves will hit harder

[bleak eagle]

I meeeeaan

Im sure i can win

[mellow linden]

Yeah, go for it if that's what you wanna do

[bleak eagle]

May i still get some help for a team vs shauntal?

I dont have any ground sync pairs beside the free one

[sick inlet]

Yes

[bleak eagle]

Well, bertha, but she doesnt rlly work unless everyone benefits from sandstorm

[mellow linden]

Of course, this channel is specifically for helping folks

[mellow linden]

Bertha can work alright with a team supporting her if you're alright with Sync being your only non-DoT damage source

[bleak eagle]

Mind if i send my box? Should be easier to make a team

[mellow linden]

Go for it

[bleak eagle]

(Sorry for spam)

[mellow linden]

No worries, this channel is for that sorta stuff.

Could try Archie/May/Roxanne off-type and see how that turns out

[upbeat gate]

@sick inlet got stuck on glacea 😦 but it was pretty fun trying, not super upset

[sick inlet]

Well Unova is much easier

You can steamroll it

[bleak eagle]

I feel like move gauge would be the problem

[upbeat gate]

That is the hope

[bleak eagle]

Cuz origin pulse/muddy water

[subtle forge]

It’s really not

[mellow linden]

It's surprisingly not as bad as you'd think

[subtle forge]

I mean Roxanne can hold gauge with the speed buffs and the passive that increase gauge in rain

[mellow linden]

Worst case scenario Archie does so much damage you can potentially get away with skipping May's turn here and there

[toxic cobalt]

Propulsion to the rescue

[bleak eagle]

Ill try it out then

Nuke with archie i assume? Since he hits all

[sick inlet]

No

May

[mellow linden]

May Syncs in that comp, iirc

Because she wants to Mega

[bleak eagle]

But after mega, archie?

Tho i doubt ill get a 2nd nuke out

[subtle forge]

Exactly

Even still tho, I would still sync with May tbh

[sick inlet]

You still will want to sync with may

They both do too much aoe damage

You don't need Archie sync

[bleak eagle]

Aoe? Mei does aoe without ex?

Or do u mean with muddy water

[mellow linden]

Not with Sync, but Muddy Water and Origin Pulse are both AoE

[bleak eagle]

Ah, i see

[mellow linden]

May doesn't get AoE Sync from EX anyways because she's a Tech

[sick inlet]

Muddy water and Origin pulse will wipe sides before you think about it

[marsh vault]

Sup @sick inlet

[sick inlet]

Ellooo

[warped thunder]

I was confused now because Mei is Rosa's japanese name

[sick inlet]

It's fine Rosa will spam Muddy water with Serperior

[subtle forge]

Makes sense

[lapis dew]

Could anyone help me to build 4 teams for CS Hard mode this week? I can level up units to 120 and only do minimal grids (for a few units at most at the moment). Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

I have already used Aaron, Ash and new Cynthia in electric advantage stage. I would save Cynthia for Iris but accidentally win using her in the team.

My main strikers for 4 teams are:

• Scottie and Solgaleo
• Looker
• Maxie
• Wally and Gallade, and new Red (for Iris)

In the screenshots are my strikers, tech and support units at the moment.

[toxic cobalt]

What does Looker need?

For Solgaleo you can add hop and Marley
For Maxie you can add Skyla and any atk buffer
For Wally you can use Maylene and Roxanne

[lapis dew]

Maybe he needs support for defence?

[fringe valve]

I'd use cynthia with wally

[lapis dew]

I already used her by accident unfortunately.

[mellow linden]

Looker is somewhat self-sufficient, he has Dire Hit+ and his Trainer Move gives +4 Attack and +2 Speed

[toxic cobalt]

Nice. Just fill types then.

[obtuse hound]

speed and defense

[bleak eagle]

Oke, onto marshall

Shauntall offtype worked

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[obtuse hound]

i used looker against marshal. you definitely want speed, use skyla if available

grats!

[bleak eagle]

I wonder if i should use offtype with marshall too

Renegade cynthia mewtwo someone else

[obtuse hound]

looker can buff himself pretty good but its always great to have the buffs that help him. he's excellent for poison weak

[mellow linden]

Could definitely work. Sabrina would be a solid option for the 3rd teammate to buff Giovanni's Sp. Atk.

[bleak eagle]

My sabrina ex

Gg marshall

[mellow linden]

Even better!

[bleak eagle]

[quiet vapor]

I want to create a team for 2k poison type, im planning on using allister + koga or bp crobat. Which one should i choose between koga and bp crobat?

[obtuse hound]

have fuuunn

i wish i had master mode unlocked. i don't know what it's like for mm i can only really help with hard mode right now.

i beat it so quickly, any particular gimmicks they have in hard mode?

[deep lake]

How do we ask for help here? I try CS and get mollywhopped everytime

[obtuse hound]

are you hard mode or master mode

[deep lake]

Hard 😂

I struggle

[obtuse hound]

okay, what's your biggest issue

and who are you doing round 1?

[deep lake]

I would say setting up the proper team. Last time I only cleared Lorelei from using electric mons

But now I can use electric again since it's an advantage for this elite four

[obtuse hound]

alright, lets see if we can help

can i see your pairs?

[deep lake]

Yes

Sorry it's not built well

[obtuse hound]

no problem just show me your roster

[deep lake]

What I have so far

[obtuse hound]

okay wow

you have a lot of good stuff

[sick inlet]

Ouf

[deep lake]

Not really, I checked that meta channel for best sync pairs and I'm missing a lot

[obtuse hound]

well yeah but

[sick inlet]

You probably can go for 15 types

[obtuse hound]

what you have is good

you have more than me, actually

[deep lake]

Is it better to have variety when fighting

[full mesa]

Do you switch specialist everyday?

[obtuse hound]

as many types as you can, so you can fill in the medal and do master mode in 2 weeks.

minimum

whatever of course you can still beat it with lol

9 types already is perfect

jo who would you say is best round 1

[deep lake]

Wow I usually just thought to choose the sync pairs that have the best advantage to the type

[full mesa]

No. 9 is minimum. 15 is perfect

[obtuse hound]

yeah there's offtyping

[obtuse hound]

meaning its still good. you're already halfway there

[sick inlet]

If you use Zerena, Ash, SS Lyra, SS Giovanni, SSACynthia, Burghepi, Leaf, Hop - that's 8 types. You can fill the rest in between

All of those in any teams will make the stage easy

Fill around them

Ash doesn't even need a team

Just throw Ash and 2 fodders

😂

[obtuse hound]

can confirm, soloed caitlin

[deep lake]

I would think I can try Caitlyn first

Yes I have ash and he is pretty good

[obtuse hound]

uhh isn't she a special attacker?

[sick inlet]

I would recommend Martial first round

[obtuse hound]

i mean unova is so easy but

[sick inlet]

Marshall

[deep lake]

Ok Marshall then

[sick inlet]

Martial Marshal all same to me 🙈

[obtuse hound]

im not used to half the pairs you mentioned jo lol

[deep lake]

Yea It's my first time actually trying CS so I'm just trying to get my feet wet

Sorry if I ask noob questions

[obtuse hound]

no dumb questions

in cs lol

[deep lake]

[sick inlet]

Marshall is the fighting type elite 4 (poison weak this week)

[obtuse hound]

listen im a 3 week old player lol

[obtuse hound]

yeah i know, i beat him with looker

[deep lake]

Please teach this old man

[obtuse hound]

i just meant like ss lyra, zerena, etc

i don't know them as well so i couldn't say but yes

[deep lake]

So should I have a poison pair and try to mix it up with other types to get the different types award

[obtuse hound]

you don't have to ontype with marshal i think?

[keen jasper]

Yes

[sick inlet]

For an example for first stage you can use SS Giovanni, Masked Royal and some 3/4 star that buffs crit for team

[deep lake]

Oh

Thought it'd be easier lol

🤭

[obtuse hound]

i mean if you want

[deep lake]

Ok I'll try this one out

[obtuse hound]

yeah that's a good one

[keen jasper]

That practically applies for every fight if you have the right units

[obtuse hound]

i saved ssgio for shauntal but she's of course offtype-able

[obtuse hound]

that's true

[bleak eagle]

Any tips for iris?

[obtuse hound]

sssteven

[bleak eagle]

I was thinking ss blue, bea and someone else

[sick inlet]

Take no prisoners

[bleak eagle]

[obtuse hound]

nuke em

as in what jo said

[full mesa]

He means nuke and no poison stall or sleep/flinch chain.

[bleak eagle]

I mean i can nuke but i was thinking more of a what team

Or if mine's good

[full mesa]

It's ok.

Use it.

[obtuse hound]

the different strategies of absolutely destroying

[bleak eagle]

With the round 4 buff right?

The sync as much as possible

[obtuse hound]

that's what i did but i nuked with sssteven lol

[bleak eagle]

Lemme try, bea is not ex yet but with ssblue i should survive long enough

Eonder who to put on 3rd

[obtuse hound]

yeah ssblue is awesome

[obtuse hound]

what types have you not used yet?

[cedar bronze]

hm what beats grimsley

i assume other grimsley

[bleak eagle]

Its mm

[obtuse hound]

oh

okay nvm lol

[bleak eagle]

Was thinking this but maybe its a bit too much defense and lil offense

Oh hey i got a role now

[obtuse hound]

that looks really good

[bleak eagle]

[subtle forge]

Can never have too much

[blazing narwhal]

It is

[obtuse hound]

bea is an awesome attacker for this stage

i think you can win with it but

[bleak eagle]

Should i change skyla/ssblue for someone else? I legit think its too much shield and too little brawn

[fringe valve]

Man I just want sinnoh stadium back so I can delete electric weak aaron

[toxic cobalt]

Sure. Should also spend that stamina

[bleak eagle]

[obtuse hound]

mmmmmm

in my opinion was better before

[swift swan]

same. but then I remember just because I have great counters for aaron now, doesn't mean Sinnoh will be much easier

Lucian will still destroy me

Bug-weak Lucian... shudders

Well at least Noland is good now

[fringe valve]

Laughs in sc emmet

[sick inlet]

The skyla one is better because it boosts speed too

[blazing narwhal]

Lillie doesn’t do much but better 4sure

[swift swan]

man, imagine having any of the submas units

[obtuse hound]

is he worse than bug weak sidney?

[fringe valve]

Also pretty sure they gave alder for free

[swift swan]

by a shit ton

[obtuse hound]

what i was thinking

[swift swan]

and what can Alder do against the wise entry x2?

[toxic cobalt]

Sinnoh is worse

[bleak eagle]

So i should keep the skyla ss blue bea team or?

I cant think on what to put to buff more

[toxic cobalt]

Get rid of Blue

[fringe valve]

Oh forgot about that

[bleak eagle]

Coballion maybe?

[sick inlet]

I would argue, Aaron didn't hit like a truck, just was bulky asf

[obtuse hound]

coballion can buff bea yeah

[fringe valve]

Ehh just off type it

[toxic cobalt]

What could you buff more?

[swift swan]

I was talking about bug-weak lucian compared to bug-weak sidney

[obtuse hound]

but using different types is better

i agree offtype

[swift swan]

but yeah, Lucian didn't hit a ton

but had a lot more bulk that limited our options

[bleak eagle]

Crits speed and atk are the main things she needs buffed i think

[fringe valve]

And at the worst you could just lyra him

[toxic cobalt]

Bea is ungridded?

[fringe valve]

I remember flint hitting like a truck

[bleak eagle]

Im out of orbs but this is how she's gridded atm

[blazing narwhal]

I’d do hop, bea, and the 3rd shouldn’t be too important

[toxic cobalt]

Then no she doesn't need crit bufffs

[bleak eagle]

Hop was alr used

[toxic cobalt]

She doesn't need atk buffs either

she has her own

[fringe valve]

I don't see how this isn't winning

[sick inlet]

This is more of my question

[fringe valve]

Like you should have enough dps to presync after you sync with blue

[bleak eagle]

Actually

[blazing narwhal]

Ssb, bea, giovanni liza maylene torchic hilbert lots of options for atk buffers

[bleak eagle]

Giovanni, i was abt to say

Lemme try gio skyla and bea

[boreal ridge]

checks marshall being Poison weak
checks my Poison units

[blazing narwhal]

If ur gna use skyla u could put inertia on beas grid too

[bleak eagle]

No orbs

[blazing narwhal]

Changing grids doesn’t consume them

[deep lake]

Omgomg it worked you guys are literal geniuses

Thank you @sick inlet @obtuse hound

[full mesa]

Not really. They just understand the fundamental mechanics of the game.

[toxic cobalt]

Geniuses I say

Let's not turn down a compliment for others

[full mesa]

Ok, ok. All hail the geniuses.

[deep lake]

Yea went overboard with the comment but I just had to express my gratitude

[zenith crane]

What teams get all 18 types this week?

[blazing narwhal]

None bc max is 15

[bleak eagle]

And what a prize for victory

One step closer to winning bertha pt 2

[last palm]

Ex Bea can do tho

[bleak eagle]

I mean ppl say aaron staraptor and ex bea is the key

But my aaron 1/5 and i dont have staraptor

[last palm]

No just aaron

I used aaron and Ex bea no grid still win guess

[bleak eagle]

No wait, lets switch channels

[sick inlet]

Don't mention it

[keen jasper]

Don't use a physical attacker unless you can max out their attack

Most fighting-type damage dealers are physical

[sick inlet]

SC Diantha, Solgaleo and Wally would like a word with you

[keen jasper]

I said most, not all

[sick inlet]

True

[full mesa]

Νοw try again MM at 7.5k.

[tired sleet]

Hard mode doesn't have those wise sentry BS right

[blazing narwhal]

Yes

[keen jasper]

They haven't really improved it from last time

Or they haven't tried to make the difficulty at least somewhat of Hoenn's and/or Sinnoh's

[tired sleet]

Oh they don't powercreep cs?

[sick inlet]

Well it's not hard mode or MM, it's the region. Unova doesn't have any of that bullshit yes

[tepid peak]

How are people able to do 10k clear.. I thought you could only acquire max 15/18 pieces per week?

[keen jasper]

Because Unova CS has appeared before

Those who have done it since then will permanently unlock MM

It practically applies for all regions

[tepid peak]

Oh. Didn't know that..
Guess I will have to wait till next week

[keen jasper]

Me too

[tepid peak]

This isn't fair man..

[sick inlet]

Is Kalos CS in game yet

My memory is fuzzy

[keen jasper]

Nope, and neither is Galar

[sick inlet]

There is no Galar E4 though

[keen jasper]

Doesn't matter

[golden stratus]

Do I just beat Caitlin with double Pikachu? Or save it for Smith else

[sick inlet]

How they gonna make a cs without elite 4 🙈

[sick inlet]

Only one is needed

[keen jasper]

MM?

[golden stratus]

Ni

No

[sick inlet]

Use the other one at whatever you find is difficult

[keen jasper]

Oh, then you need another type then

[sick inlet]

Both pikachus can SOLO Caitlin

Even at 10k mm

Proof

[keen jasper]

People will ask if it can be done without EX Red

Answer is "B Volt Tackle"

[sick inlet]

It can be done without EX

It can be done with 1/5 ungridded, non ex Red.

Although Solo is not recommended for anyone that is new

You either need to use as much possible types, or want to gurantee as much as possible points.

[keen jasper]

Especially when they're doing hard mode

[full mesa]

Define "new" and "old" players.

Because in 2-3 weeks time, when you're going to fight against Caitlin again even an almost month old player can get a 2k solo clear if they have red.

[sick inlet]

New to anyone who isn't fully customed to the mechanics of PoMa i guess

[sick inlet]

True, they can do as they please at that point 🙈

[full mesa]

Then I guess I belong there too even tho I have a 7-8 months old account since I don't have knowledge of moves of the most eggmon/3-4* units and of a few interactions between effects.

[sick inlet]

Naw, Eggmons are more like Extra for those who really trying hard for LG streaks tbh. You won't see eggmons being used in anything else (maybe rarely to fill certain niches)

And 3-4* units in general need investment

Or get updated with the 25th of every month

For an example, lunatone is now viable

Because of 25th of the month upgrade

Before then I would argue she's a meat shield (buffs a bit before dying)

Plus you have a really good knowledge of how to make up a team and how to use it, I wouldn't really consider that "New" at this stage. You don't really need help unless stages are rightfully difficult.

[deep lake]

Anyone have tips for Grimsley

I have Grimsley & Caitlin left

Then iris

[sick inlet]

What is the issue you are facing against them?

[keen jasper]

Have you used Solgaleo?

[deep lake]

Just trying find the best approach to down him. I get close but his 2nd sync move one shots everyone lol

[deep lake]

Haven't yet

[full mesa]

Solgaleo/crit buffer/speed buffer. Very basic team.

[sick inlet]

You're doing hard mode correct?

[swift swan]

wait what-

[keen jasper]

Can we your crit buffers?

[deep lake]

Okok I'll give it a shot, thank you

[swift swan]

man I should test out a Red solo if I'm not too busy

[deep lake]

Me, yes

[full mesa]

Caitlin is a joke if you have either Ash or SSTRed. If not send us your elec roster.

[sick inlet]

He is that good

[deep lake]

Sorry what?

[keen jasper]

I mean show us your crit buffers

[sick inlet]

Have you been using as many types as possible?

[deep lake]

Oh

[keen jasper]

Sorry for the mistype

[deep lake]

Yeah I have since you guys said

[swift swan]

Caitlin is a joke period. Last Unova CS I nuked her with Clemont

[sick inlet]

So what types have you already used?

[sick inlet]

Clemont hurts me emotionally.

[full mesa]

Clemont nukes too hard after ex support. Don't sleep on him.

[swift swan]

I should EX Clemont soon

she says, glancing at her EX waitlist

[full mesa]

I want to MM but I have 15/18 types...

[manic mica]

i used such a scuffed team for grimsley for medal purposes n it took like 3 tries

[sick inlet]

First time Unova?

[swift swan]

oh, you weren't around when Unova reran last time, Chaos?

[deep lake]

Still new to this, is that the "crit rate up" when I filter my team

[swift swan]

I remember you facing Sinnoh so I thought you had done Unova already

[swift swan]

yes

[sick inlet]

Yes, but also what types have you already used 😭

[swift swan]

more specifically, crit rate up and target all allies

[deep lake]

I've used these for Marshall and Shauntel

[sick inlet]

Noice

[full mesa]

Unova hasn't been a CS since middle February... We had 2 knew CS since I started with Sinnoh and Hoenn.

[sick inlet]

You got the short end of the stick I would say

[full mesa]

I started one day after Zerena banner ended.

But I have SSLyra 3/5 so I'm good.

[full mesa]

You only have a green diva and a cloudy bird.

[deep lake]

Ok my solgaleo is lvl100 I think I'm gonna clean him up before I enter again

[sick inlet]

How many left from the list of units i mentioned for you?

[sick inlet]

This

Zerena, Ash, SS Lyra, Burghepi, Leaf, Hop, and SSA Cynthia all available

You can throw Ash and two not very good units that have different types in any stage

He will clear it

[deep lake]

Ok let me check my teams one sec

[sick inlet]

By himself

[deep lake]

Ahh ok

[sick inlet]

Do Caitlyn with Ash

Ash and 2 random 3 stars

[deep lake]

Yes I was planning to use ash for her

[sick inlet]

Maybe bug type and poison?

[deep lake]

Just gonna focus grim now

[full mesa]

Ok. Ash and 2 randoms. What about the other units?

[sick inlet]

Well for grim he will either use Solgaleo or Hop, not both

[deep lake]

^ yes let me fix him up a bit

[sick inlet]

They do different things but we want as many typings correct?

So we know Caitlyn is gonna get wrecked by Ash

What does that leave for us for Alder/iris and Grim?

Zerena can fit in either teams

SS Lyra, Hop, (insert someone with different type here)
Can clear Grimsley

Oh wait you used lillie

No more burghepi

sad noises

Well Zerena, Skyla and whatever is left can do champion easy

[north crown]

Can’t SSLyra carry a team?

[sick inlet]

She can.

Easy carry at that

[elder talon]

God I hate that I have to do the 18 types thing again. I have to miss a week of rewards because of it

[full mesa]

I second that...

[sick inlet]

It's just the start of a new region

Afterwards it will always be accessible when it comes back next time

[north crown]

I’d argue Skyla, Solgaleo, SSLyra unless there’s another steel DPS option

[swift swan]

so you started with Sinnoh? Didn't even get Kanto?

[manic mica]

i finally cleared cs for the first time last week only to see that the medals reset on region

[sick inlet]

I mean we can go with that 100%
Hop gives more survivability for any kind of mistakes

[full mesa]

Got 2 weeks of kanto (just enough for the medallion). Then Sinnoh arrived... the Horror...

[sick inlet]

My heart is with your grief

[swift swan]

oh I see

[north crown]

Then maybe do Hop, Nanu, some filler

[sick inlet]

Yeah, Chaos took like a nice candy

Then got fed bad medicine the next weeks

[swift swan]

aaah the feeling of being able to do MM first week

would be a shame if

[north crown]

Masked royal would work wonders with Hop if you have him

[manic mica]

at least this week was way easier for me

[swift swan]

a new CS comes

[sick inlet]

Already used MR

This month is peaceful in comparison to Sinnoh and Hoenn

[manic mica]

i should prob look at next week

[full mesa]

Not only that. It was 5 weeks. 5 weeks of sheer pain and agony.

[sick inlet]

Very peaceful.

[full mesa]

Too early. Relax for now.

[north crown]

Coul I look at Aoba’s roster?

[sick inlet]

I even was a bit dumbfounded at first, i usually just jump and wing it, Aaron was like "you think your N can really beat me? Go home"

[manic mica]

im plenty relaxed

[full mesa]

Galar VA?

[sick inlet]

Yes, I'll grab it for you

[sick inlet]

@north crown

I already made pseudo teams

Needs some fillers

But feel free to make actual teams

[swift swan]

I feel like Kalos will be first, just because our VA seems to be in order now

[sick inlet]

Thing is, galar doesn't have E4, so I don't know how they gonna add CS for it

Kalos most likely yes

[swift swan]

funny thing is, I've seen N clears. must be pretty hard though

so if N can actually bruteforce Aaron (with lots of difficulty), my Red will be fine

or I'll just run him with Hau, the way I killed Aaron the first time

[sick inlet]

I probably would have done it with easier parameters, but at the time I did my custom params that usually makes enemies a bit tanky

Because I can just brute through

N couldn't

[north crown]

There’s like 0 speed supports left

[sick inlet]

Thankfully NY Volkner was merciless

[swift swan]

Sinnoh really said "you think you can walk in here blindly?" and made us read the kits and gimmicks and this channel was full of gimmick summary and infographics

I love the tradition it started though. that's why I wrote summaries for Hoenn

[north crown]

We’ll have to go with either gauge boosters or the free gacha ones

[full mesa]

Didn't we have a Kalos party with Zerena?

[swift swan]

and I love the channel coming together to laugh at the ridiculous team recommendations

[swift swan]

Zerena was a random throwaway imo

[full mesa]

Don't you fight 4 trainers before you reach Leon? In a tournament format. I've never played the games.

[swift swan]

maaan, I didn't have NY Volkner. I stalled Aaron first time, then used Hau the second time

[sick inlet]

I am pretty sure these hard modes will not even need the gauge after sync/terrain

Imagine survive after Zerena syncs and core breaks once

[sick inlet]

In a form of tournament, you play against other gym leaders/trainers you met on your journey

[full mesa]

Is it random or its always the same people?

[sick inlet]

I don't stall anymore, I get bored 😂🙈

[blazing narwhal]

I need ideas for challenge clears

[swift swan]

I doubt Dena won't make Galar CS somehow though. Where else will they make the CS bosses use dynamax and gigantamax?

[full mesa]

3-4* only.

[sick inlet]

I think there are set of npcs you get randomly from them? I might be wrong

[sick inlet]

Ouch

[swift swan]

use a random wheel to determine the region of the sync pair you must use

[full mesa]

That's hard. Yes.

[sick inlet]

Probably make some Gym leaders the E4 then

[north crown]

Skyla, SSGiovanni, SSLyra?

[sick inlet]

Ssgiovani used

[full mesa]

Rival, Bede, The girl, ..., Leon. We need one more for e4.

[full mesa]

Too much but ok.

[sick inlet]

Raihan

[full mesa]

He's a gym leader.

[sick inlet]

Yes but he's the second strongest trainer in the region

Or so does the lore say

[north crown]

Used: Ghost, Fire, Dark, Fairy, Ground, Water
On: Marshal, Shauntal

[sick inlet]

Yup

[full mesa]

Elec and 2 randoms against Caitlin.

[sick inlet]

Ash + fodders

[north crown]

Aoba shortcut

[zenith crane]

So do I have to just wait for honnen to come back to get the medal badge thing

[sick inlet]

Yes, sadly

[zenith crane]

Ahhhh ok

[sick inlet]

But you will continue where you stopped

So if you did 15 types

You continue there

So first week MM

😄

[swift swan]

if they do make a Galar CS (which I'm sure they will someday), they'll probably just use the trainers you fight before fighting the champion. So probably a rotation between Hop/Marnie/Bede, Nessa, rotation between Bea/Allister, and Raihan

[fiery sluice]

Cheeky 15 type clear this week, nice easy MM opening for next

[sick inlet]

Yeboi

[north crown]

Ash, 2 fillers

Hop Zerena, or Hop SSErika?

[sick inlet]

Where is the sheep guy, always thought he should come to the game

[sick inlet]

Hop Zerena, we want to use SS lyra

Ss lyra > SS erika

[full mesa]

So they'll rotate between all the trainers they have at the time. Nice idea.

[sick inlet]

Aoba seems to have gone afk though

[north crown]

Ash, 2 fillers
Hop, Zerena, Plumeria
Leaf, SSLyra, filler?

[full mesa]

Next week I might have an issue with champion tho.

[sick inlet]

So we are supposed to beat the undefeated champion every week?

[sick inlet]

Yes sir

[full mesa]

Yes.

Beat him.

[north crown]

Maybe Hop + SSLyra would work better idk

[full mesa]

Why not?

[north crown]

No atk buffs

[full mesa]

Hop buffs att

Are you ok?

Did you hit your head?

[deep lake]

Ok I'm on Iris now. Thanks to everyone here that helped me so far 😊

[full mesa]

Nitsua stay with us.

[full mesa]

How many types till now?

[north crown]

But like they wanted to use Hop with Zerena
ig we can switch Hop and Leaf in that case.
