Champion Stadium

[mellow linden]

Regardless, Lillie acts as an Attack buffer and fills in Fairy type, so she’s far from wasted

[keen jasper]

I'm really confused here, are you fighting Glacia or someone in CS?

[mellow linden]

They’re doing CS, they had just been using Bea against Glacia previously

[visual vine]

That was last night, sorry

[mellow linden]

Which led to confusion about how accurate Meteor Assault is

[visual vine]

Yup, my fault. Lol

[mellow linden]

Anyways, make sure you get all your team members to level 120 if you can

[visual vine]

Ok, so here's my final setup

[keen jasper]

Is this MM or hard mode?

I didn't bother backreading

[visual vine]

Hard I believe

Yea hard

[mellow linden]

So while BP Morty does provide defensive buffs, I’d actually recommend switching Roxanne back in

[visual vine]

Yea?

[mellow linden]

Because SST Red will clear super fast and next week Shauntal will be weak to Ghost, so you’ll almost guaranteed fill that type in next week

Wait, nvm

Alder is weak to Rock next week, so it’s the same sorta deal either way

Pick your favorite of the 2

[visual vine]

Never used either tbh, I'm still pretty new

[keen jasper]

Has anyone cleared rock-weak Alder with Olivia?

[mellow linden]

It won’t matter too much for that fight, so just pick your favorite design or Pokemon of the 2, IMO. Or if you’d prefer to have more healing BP Morty has Potion

[mellow linden]

I believe I did so in the past and I will definitely be doing so when he drops this time around

[visual vine]

Probably go with morty as a just in case...

[mellow linden]

Best of luck!

[keen jasper]

Can't wait for Monday to unlock MM

[mellow linden]

Ah, congrats on 1st Unova unlock then!

[visual vine]

Gotta lv a couple guys to 120, tyvm for the help guys

[mellow linden]

No problem

[summer panther]

This team can clear Bug weak if Aaron gets MP refresh on his TM, right?

[subtle forge]

Yeah

[summer panther]

Alr, cool. Like being able to use characters I like that aren’t amazing

[summer panther]

The only Bug weak stages I’m 99% sure this team can’t clear is the ones for Hoenn and Sinnoh, right? (Keep in mind I’m talking about 10k runs in particular, and I still haven’t done a 10k of Hoenn or Sinnoh cuz I’m a coward)

[subtle forge]

That team could probably clear Sinnoh since Lucian has wise entry x2 and guzma and lunge Lusamine are physical

Hoenn might be a little close because Sidney got a fair amount of HP

Like more than normal

[summer panther]

Ahh, okay, good to know. Tyvm

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[marsh vault]

Pogs

[plucky pewter]

Seeking assistance for grimsley, marshal and shauntal.
Will be keeping either ash or sst red for Caitlin and the other will pair with ssa cynthia and Bea for iris so just need the other 3.
Am going for first clear in hard

[full mesa]

SSTRed/Kukui (only leer)/Viola -> Elec weak.
SSACynthia/Bea/Hapu -> Fighting weak.
Hop/Skyla/Dawn -> Steel weak.
SSMorty/SSBlue/Mewtwo -> Ground weak.
Sycamore/Palkia/Koga -> Poison weak.

@plucky pewter

[plucky pewter]

Cheers, I'll put them together and see what I need to upgrade etc 🙂

Is there a particular order I should beat them?

[full mesa]

Not really.

[plucky pewter]

Thanks for the help, managed to get through all the battles 🙂

[grim bridge]

Need help with teams for marshall and shauntal hard mode not mm thank you

[keen jasper]

You do have Looker for Marshal

Even if he's just 1/5

[full mesa]

Honestly, SSLeaf can solo Marshall.

Excadrill+Archeops destroy everything. Here you go. Fill the empty spaces with whatever.

[quiet vapor]

This sounds dumb, but the game isn't that hard so it should be possible to do it.

Who can be a 3rd slot for a team with SS Ethan and Anni Steven for 2k flying weak?

(Steven has been collecting dust on my box for ages... i wanted to use him with Ethan...)

[full mesa]

Anni Skyla for zone.

[quiet vapor]

Don't have her...

[full mesa]

Well I don't know about Anni Steven but SSEthan needs a bit of speed. So either add a speed buffer or a def debuffer.

[quiet vapor]

But it needs to be someone that can help both... I was thinking about a 3/5 SS Kris or 1/5 aura cynthia

But im not sure which will be better

[full mesa]

No. SSEthan doesn't need help. Support Anni Steven.

Also he has more spdef than def. You might want to focus on physical attackers.

[quiet vapor]

Cynthia is both Sp and Atk suport, so she might work

[dark osprey]

Would probably go with an EX regular leaf

[quiet vapor]

I don't have that, and she's defently not a priority to ex

[quiet vapor]

Update, doing 2k caitlin with this team was extremelly easy, so i guess this works.

[trail cypress]

def*

she doesn't buff offenses except crit

[dark osprey]

The 2x pmun & smun stack is kinda crazy though even once post EX support sync

[dark osprey]

And ssa Cynthia can easily afford to take hyper offensive paramaters

[digital drum]

Think I can make 100k tomorrow?

[toxic cobalt]

10k is more achievable

[digital drum]

[frosty axle]

it is if you do it ten times

[zenith flame]

I've heard that SS Giovanni can solo 2k a ground weakness. What setup does that need?

[keen jasper]

Critical Crit 9

[zenith flame]

Wait, that's it?

[keen jasper]

I'm pretty sure it's fully gridded besides Critical Crit 9. Like you know, needing MP refresh on Mega Kick and having boost on Max Quake and/or maybe boosting sync damage

[zenith flame]

Of course, but like

Are there any opponent buffs I need to avoid or is his DPS simply that good?

[keen jasper]

Former

[digital drum]

I rember that 10K is the max

But pretty sure itll be difficult

[toxic cobalt]

Your roster is pretty stacked, only questionable team is flying

[digital drum]

Yeah Maybe I could off-type It with Ash if It doesnt work

[toxic cobalt]

Yeah that sounds sensible

[full mesa]

I would switch out Blue for something that buffs crit/att for ZinniaMRayEx. The flying stage has less def than spdef.

[digital drum]

Alright thanks

[sick inlet]

Ah new week coming

We chilled here after Hoenn went away

[full mesa]

Finally I'll do 10k again.

[plush tangle]

Ah yes, Ice

[full mesa]

Or you can use the RosaEx/Ghetsis combo.

[obsidian sorrel]

This was a commentary on an above poster's team names

[eternal mist]

I don't understand that team comp

[plush tangle]

It's not mine

I guess they just want to off type, but yeah the team is weird

[eternal mist]

Ah

Are there very annoying stages in the nxt CSMM?

I'm hoping to just use my normal preset teams if possible

[plush tangle]

Unova ? Annoying ? Let me laugh lol

After Sinnoh and Hoenn, Unova is a piece of cake

if you managed to beat hoenn you should be good on unova

[digital drum]

I dont have good Ice Strikers so SS Steven is the trump card and ice was bc Its for that stage

[full mesa]

First you have Ghetsis. He's enough. Second I get Roxanne. She can buff speed. But why Sycamore? Both he and SSteven need to sync first. What's you plan?

[obsidian sorrel]

Why sync with sycamore at all

It doesn't do anything

[sick inlet]

plays Ice Ice Baby
Completely offtype

[digital drum]

Pretty sure I have him just at 110 and cant level him up

[nova oasis]

Question: which categories of moves (Physical/Special/Status) can be used by the Electric-weak CS Caitlin stage?

Thinking about it - this might be a good idea (more generally) to add to the pinned infographics...

[digital drum]

Well 125 doesnt look like enough

[full mesa]

You can't know that. Unless for sync -1, sync, sync +1 and sides after mid falls, the rest are completely random.

[nova oasis]

Some stages exclusively use only Physical or only Special moves (barring trainer moves, sometimes also status moves), don't they?

(Edited original for clarity.)

[toxic cobalt]

Because it’s really powerful

[toxic cobalt]

High levels don’t do much

[tired sleet]

Why is Looker so bad… He was hitting 2.2k on type with a support EX boost

Maybe I’ll try again at 3/5, but until then I’ll never use him over Koga

[zinc sparrow]

https://imgur.com/a/ZH39uVJ

I need help building teams for Hard Mode Marshal, Grimsley, and Iris (Have a lot of training books)

[toxic cobalt]

SS Leaf and two free types for Marshall, Hop and someone to give him speed for Grimsley, Korrina and atk+crit buffs for Iris

[sharp totem]

champion spirits don't seem too bad to get, i imagine the hard part is getting a sync pair to 20/20 Power Ups

[summer panther]

These look good for tomorrow?

[mellow linden]

Seems fine at a glance

[quiet vapor]

She has both Sp and Atk Next Up, which is what i was counting

[austere quest]

Soon

I will be trying to aim higher this month than 4200

[mellow linden]

Those don’t really substitute for actual Attack/Sp. Atk. buffs, especially since she can only do it twice

[quiet vapor]

Christ, dark and fairy are only at the end of the month...

I wanted to test those 2 types the most

[quiet vapor]

I mean, ethan already puts himself at max offensive stats, and steven puts hik really close to it

[mellow linden]

If you have ways to get your offensive buffs then yeah, you’re fine

[quiet vapor]

So i think its better to bring someone with a ton of suport like cynthia, rather then a pair that buffs a bit of atk and almodt nothing else

[mellow linden]

Just important to make sure that you get those buffs one way or another

[quiet vapor]

Besides, i already tested them on caitlin 2k off type and i could easilly do it

[quiet vapor]

The thing is, since im trying to make a team with both anni steven and ss ethan there really isn't a pair that fits the theme perfectly. (Maybe anni skyla but i don't have her)

So i just went with Aura cynthia

[mellow linden]

You don’t need to run monotype unless you’re doing a challenge run

Theme Skills are basically bonuses, they don’t substitute for actual synergy

[quiet vapor]

Yeah but my anni steven has been collecting dust for ages, and master mode is not that hard

so im trying to run them both just for my enjoyment

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

[zinc sparrow]

Thanks

[zealous karma]

How are these teams for next week 🦑

[mellow linden]

Why Hilbert + Hala?

[zealous karma]

I don’t know

[mellow linden]

Wouldn't Hop + Hala be better?

[zealous karma]

Hilbert is Ex 🦑 and Spd sipport

• flinch for sync countdown

[mellow linden]

Because assuming you're gonna duo, Hop uses less gauge, has Potion, and Hala doesn't want Speed

[zealous karma]

But he’s so slow 🐴

[mellow linden]

That's why usually you run a source of gauge acceleration with him

[zealous karma]

Cringe unit

[mellow linden]

He doesn't want Speed, but uses a good bit of gauge

[zealous karma]

Sonia is 3/5 🦑

[mellow linden]

Could work, Hala should be able to lower his Speed faster than Swift Reaction activates

[zealous karma]

🐴

I wonder if 1/5 Lyra can solo

[mellow linden]

Reasonably sure SS Lyra can flinch hax any CS stage regardless of move level, yeah

[zealous karma]

Man

I wonder if HoliSkyla at 3/5 can duo flying

[zealous karma]

I feel like a huge whale these days man

Then agai. I don’t have 3/5 Olivia so I can’t be a whale 🦑

[sick inlet]

Depends. iris made me hate my life

[zealous karma]

Good thing there’s no grass week Iris 🦑

[mellow linden]

Well it is Alder this week

[zealous karma]

But this Iris is easy

I just one synced with SCdianrha and one shot sides

Funy unit

[mellow linden]

SSA Cynthia + Fall Caitlin + Bea for me

Easiest Fighting weak 2k of my life

[zealous karma]

Fighting week is so easy most of the time

Lorelei is cringe 🦑

[mellow linden]

Fall Caitlin accuracy boosts

I love that about her kit

[sick inlet]

I was doing Solo 2k run

[zealous karma]

Oh

[sick inlet]

I had the literal perfect run. Any bad rng I would've continued my loss streak 😂

[zealous karma]

I know SCdianrha can solo 3K that stage

Cracer has done it

But they were super lucky with their flinches

[sick inlet]

What is a seasonal unit

[clever bronze]

I got sc diantha after I completed csmm

Did the tier select on my birthday yesterday

[mellow linden]

Happy birthday

[clever bronze]

9/10 was my birthday

Thank you though

[mellow linden]

Happy late birthday then

[clever bronze]

got 2 sc jasmine in multis, sc diantha from ticket, and selected sc hilda

[mellow linden]

Nice

Anyway, excited to break faces with Holiday Nessa tomorrow

[sharp totem]

so question, does the 25 champion spirits reset weekly?

[clever bronze]

My best ice unit is ghetsis and candice

[mellow linden]

Yeah, you get 25 Champion Spirits + however many Master Mode gives if you do that per week

[mellow linden]

Those 2 are solid

[sharp totem]

so 75 in total a week if you max out master mode?

[mellow linden]

If Master Mode gives 50 a week then yeah

[sharp totem]

thats pretty generous

[sick inlet]

You can EX 3 every 2 weeks basically

If you have the resources to 20/20

[sharp totem]

is the 20/20 grind the hard part?

[sick inlet]

To someone like me yes

I sit on pile of spirits

But lacking the PU

[mellow linden]

Yeah, eventually you have piles of Champion Spirits and maybe a small stack of powerups

You wait for the powerups more

[sharp totem]

does it get progressively more and more expensive in the ticket exchange? or is it only per character

[frank shuttle]

Hmm how is Looker?

[sick inlet]

Per character

[sharp totem]

okay thank god i was worried

[mellow linden]

Iirc solid against Poison weak stages, not good outside of those

[sick inlet]

So Lyra uses 5. She needs to pay 25 for the next 5. 30 for the 5 afterwards

But if you grabbrand new Ethan

He's gonna take 20 for first 5

Unrelated to Lyra

[frank shuttle]

Yeah I'm trying to figure out who I should pick on that team

[simple storm]

what parameters do u use to 2v3?

i also wanna start 2v3'ing

[sick inlet]

It depends on stage tbh

[simple storm]

i always seem to get destroyed

[zealous karma]

Strength 12 max Poh my regular

[sick inlet]

Sometimes you can quickly nuke hyper pre-sync

[zealous karma]

SS Ethan moment

[sick inlet]

Anything stage I duo with Zerena I hyper pre-sync

[simple storm]

i dont have zerena

[sick inlet]

By the time I sync, everything is dead

[simple storm]

i have lusamine

[sick inlet]

I give example

Lusamine could work

[simple storm]

and steven

and red

[sick inlet]

Also could work

Well

Which red

[simple storm]

new one

grass is free next week with lyra+erika

[sick inlet]

New one doesn't need duo can solo-

[simple storm]

flying i think annisteven can make it work somehow

idk if i can duo rock tho

ice i got hala

ghost cynthia

[sick inlet]

My easiest solo of this list #1011213509071208451 message

is SSTRed

[zealous karma]

I wonder if healthy benefits SSEthan can solo marshal

[sick inlet]

If there is quick Sync maybe

As you want to sync asap

[simple storm]

wow thats pretty nice

my best rock dps is blue

[frank shuttle]

Yeah this is all I have for poison lol

[simple storm]

ash and red are the best for poison weak

[sick inlet]

Looker is super vs poison stages

[mellow linden]

Could do Looker + Skyla + 3rd

[zealous karma]

Nanu

[simple storm]

candy koga

he works

[sick inlet]

Looker is basically made to wreck allllllllll most Poison stages that's his only usage

[zealous karma]

Poison Weak LA when

[simple storm]

whenever dena finds out poison is a type

nihilego bout to be rock type

[frank shuttle]

Yeah and I'm dealing with the rest of this lol

[mellow linden]

Hey, a solid Poison damage-dealer in the general pool is a welcome addition, even if he only works on-type

[sick inlet]

Are you still doing this week?

[frank shuttle]

Yeah I'm gonna try to finish

[sick inlet]

Well time to use Looker

He will do the job and you need poison

[frank shuttle]

I'm probably gonna throw SS Leaf

[sick inlet]

Well that's also an option

[frank shuttle]

Just fill in my grass 🤣

[mellow linden]

You can do Grass tomorrow since Grimsley is weak to Grass then

[trail smelt]

Get your cs mm done this week almost done

[mellow linden]

But up to you

[sick inlet]

It's done in few hours

[frank shuttle]

Hmm steel I got Steven should be able to get work done also 😂

[minor solstice]

hello urgent urgent i need help with unova clear

hard mode

[sick inlet]

Wot

Send

[trail smelt]

Type clearing?

Or 2k all rounds?

[sick inlet]

I guess type clearing

Since hard mood

[trail smelt]

Either way yeah send your roster

[sick inlet]

Mode

[minor solstice]

got it

[sick inlet]

Any typings you already had before? (Last Unova if you were lucky enough to see it)

[mellow linden]

For a damage-dealer on each fight you could do:

• Maxie for Shauntal

• Ash and/or SST Red for Caitlin

• Looker for Marshal

• Kimono Grimsley for…well, Grimsley

• Bea or SC Guzma for Iris

[marsh vault]

Morning @sick inlet

[sick inlet]

Morning

[minor solstice]

nope

[minor solstice]

anny suggestions for supports or tanks and likewise?
like do i need to disrupt any field conditions or need to provide a constant buff or smth

ty for the help btw

[mellow linden]

Unova CS isn’t very gimmicky other than Iris can lower Attack. You can pretty much bring 1 Support to provide your damage-dealer’s necessary offensive buffs and use the 3rd slot to fill out the type medal

[sick inlet]

Add Lyra and SSMorty to Maxie team

SSTRed and any 2 useless level 1 pokemons (just put fillers its that easy)

Looker + Skyla + May

Grimsley well Idk a good team for that but Deoxys can fill in as support if you need

Bea, Leaf, and anything tbh fill in

[manic mica]

What is the best way to offtype 2k with ash? To b thunderbolt middle right before second sync?

[minor solstice]

order?

hnm

all of my strikers are atk 😭

except for electric ig

[sick inlet]

I don't recall the rounds tbh
I think something like
Grims
Shauntel
Marshall
Caitlyn

[minor solstice]

ah ok

[sick inlet]

If you mean tactics, Morty for first team
SSTRed last
Skyla for third
Grimsley team is basically whoever you got as tank.
And last one is Leaf

[minor solstice]

oh i meant like the rounds

the first round is

special attack buff

so shouldnt i do caitlin fisrt

[sick inlet]

Well Grimsley hits physically

So good first round

[minor solstice]

sorry

i meant

special df debuff

on enemy team

[sick inlet]

It won't matter much, unova is not difficult in particular

[minor solstice]

ohh wait

i was looking at the wrong thing

my apologies

[keen raven]

I remembered half an hour ago that CS is going to reset, so i used thegamingeevee's guide and just finished it

but i dont have master mode yet 😦 i'll have to remember to get the other 8 this coming week

[frank shuttle]

Tomorrow I should be getting mastet

[keen raven]

if you get master mode on hoenn, do you ever have to do the 18/18 again?

at least for the hoenn cs in the future

[keen jasper]

Once you unlock master mode for that region, it's permanently unlocked

[minor solstice]

sheesh

cleared w 13 types

[scarlet topaz]

for grimsley: steven ex + skyla ex (maybe?) + ?
help, idk who to put on my steel weak team

[simple storm]

What is that website

[summer panther]

That’s what I was wondering XD

[mild hemlock]

The link to the website is at the bottom right of the image

[eternal lodge]

kimono grimsey is a free win

[summer panther]

Oh shit, u rite XD

[simple storm]

Truee

[scarlet topaz]

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/
great website

[scarlet topaz]

never used him before. would steven/kimono grimsley/skyla work?

[eternal lodge]

this isnt hoenn so i believe so

[scarlet topaz]

i ended up getting 2k with hop/steven/roxanne

[wicked otter]

Btw how to input how many moves we have? I can only do 1/5

[eternal lodge]

right click on the number

[wicked otter]

Ah thanks, im using phone so rather hard

[eternal lodge]

also, nice website, i can finally stop wasting my time editing all the images of my units

p easy

[wicked otter]

Guys need help to form a solid 5 team for master CS, off type is okay

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

Here is my roaster

[prime warren]

I can't see your pairs from that link

[swift swan]

You need to save the image

[wicked otter]

Wait, the link becomes weird

How to share with link? I tried save image but nothing in my phone

Damn it got restarted

Here is my box

[wicked otter]

I have but still wont change

[prime warren]

Hmmmm most are 1/5

Roster need bit more investment

[wicked otter]

Yea rip, i only have 1 tech candy and 2 strike

Hmm what kind of investment?

If candy i dont have anymore

[prime warren]

EX mainly

Especially support ex

Would make runs more easier

[wicked otter]

I can ex 2 more but not sure which kne

One

[prime warren]

Ash, red and zerena probs doesn't need

Other teams tho

[wicked otter]

Um thinking blue and hilbert but still not sure

[prime warren]

SSB is good ex

You can do poison stall with SSL too

Wouldn't need ex

So yea EX ssb

[dark osprey]

Guess Red would need another electric dps on his team

[prime warren]

Red has 150 BP that drops stat

And aoe

[wicked otter]

I dont have good one atm

And red seems op enough alone

[dark osprey]

I mean at 1/5. His attack stat isn't that great

For offtype

[prime warren]

He has terrain

[wicked otter]

Eh really, i thought he is broken enough at 1/5

[prime warren]

And his aoe doesn't half damage

It's literally Archie tier

[wicked otter]

Anyways i dont plan to add any damage dealer to red team

[dark osprey]

Yes. He's good but for offtype 2k

[prime warren]

Even better coz he debuffs def

[wicked otter]

Because my other 2 team seems sucks except ash red and serena team

[prime warren]

You can run SSR in sun

With Erika

[wicked otter]

Red cant do off type 2k?

[prime warren]

Psure both reds can

[dark osprey]

He can. Was mentioning that it would be nice to have another dps instead of another support

[prime warren]

Redzard gonna need sun tho

[wicked otter]

Erika is the one with leafeon right?

[prime warren]

Yes

[wicked otter]

Who should i use for tank?

[prime warren]

It would be nice, but doesn't seem like there's a choice

Pick someone that buffs red faster

Preferably Hilbert

[wicked otter]

Oh, i was just puting random supporr there as i think he is broken enough but i can add dps too

[prime warren]

Since red needs atk for haymaker as well

[wicked otter]

Hmm isnt hilbert better with palkia and may?

[prime warren]

No

May team can run ssb

[wicked otter]

Ah okay ill use hilbert for red

Okay so ssb with palkia

[prime warren]

Hilbert sets haymaker for ssr

[wicked otter]

Does serena need decent tank?

[prime warren]

She isn't EX so yes

[wicked otter]

I use blue just for the fast move gauge

Because serena move cost a lot

[prime warren]

Zerena and redzard would really prefer ex

Run Skyla or smth

[wicked otter]

Skyle still 1/5 damn

[prime warren]

Wait I see anni may

[wicked otter]

I only have 3 ex

[prime warren]

Wait

Lemme change it a bit

[wicked otter]

Ah i know ill be using red, ash, serena, red zard and bea team

[prime warren]

You might be able to do stronger teams....

[wicked otter]

Is that good enough?

[prime warren]

You need 5 offtype no?

Gonna need bit more

Might be able to run Ash and red in same team

Since you have enuff dpses

To run dual core

[dark osprey]

The Cynthia team seems good for offtyping as well

[wicked otter]

Yee 5 off type if possible

Ash and red seems overkill isnt it?

[prime warren]

SSACynthia+bea
SSred+SSerika
May+Cyrus
Zerena
Ash+SSTred

For 5 teams

Once you ex stuff it wouldn't matter

Zerena, SSR, may, SScyn rly recommended to Ex imo

You also have anni may+Giovanni as well

But gio doesn't have ex so I dunno how good that is

For support I see kiawe, falkner, ssb, Aaron, Hilbert, Skyla and Sabrina as rly good ones

So we just have to slot those in the above comps

[prime warren]

And this is in decreasing order of priority btw

Some might ask why may above SScyn but that's coz may sync suk without EX at 1/5

So now for teams

[keen jasper]

I get to finally unlock MM for this one

[full mesa]

I finally get to unlock the last missing MM.

For now.

[prime warren]

May EX, Cyrus, SSblue
SSRed EX, SSErika, Hilbert
Zerena EX,falkner, Skyla
SSAcynEX , bea, Aaron
SSTred, ash, kantoflex(for master passive)

@wicked otter

Should be good enuff for offtype

If you want, you can run Giovanni, anni may, Skyla as well
But you want some other spd support instead of Skyla in zerena team

[dark osprey]

I guess they've already EXed ssa Cynthia. So can use her directly with double strikers

[prime warren]

Oh yea if your Sabrina is 3/5 she can be in Giovanni team and nothing changes

[wicked otter]

Ah okay thanks a lot, i will try using the team

[keen jasper]

It's MM time

[wicked otter]

Btw my skyla still 1/5, should i use candy on her?

[wicked otter]

Okay thanks, that seems good to for alternative

Btw red and zerena to get ex, arent blue and hilbert more priority to EXed?

[magic crown]

It was pathetic

[swift swan]

#1010274591601598555 please

[prime warren]

Yes but you asked for offtype teams

Red and zerena are the ones that sync in their teams

If you want a better roster for other content, you should be focussing on support ex

[toxic cobalt]

Hard mode offtype teams

[wicked otter]

Ah okay haha thanks

[grim hemlock]

just unlocked mm for the first time, basically i just go 850 and dip?

[toxic cobalt]

Push yourself if you want! But 850 is enough to get all the good stuff.

[grim hemlock]

alralr cool, ill try to clear 850 first then i can just reset if i want to try for more right?

[toxic cobalt]

Yep!

[grim hemlock]

nice thanks

[trail smelt]

Man

I did not like playing with BP Candice

Should have gridded her first haha, maybe then she’s better

Next week is gonna get crushed tho

[iron oar]

Types needed and Pairs. Any teams for this weeks hard mode?

[distant cedar]

#1010274591601598555 is the right place to post those

[eternal lodge]

Oops sorry

[full mesa]

The RosaEx/Ghetsis/Kiawe team might not be able to pre sync Shauntal on R3. It had issues against Hard mode.

[grizzled nova]

Gonna give BP Candice a go

should be fun

[eternal mist]

Qn does brick break not get rid of crit protection 😡

What does brick break remove 🤔

[toxic cobalt]

The damage shields

[toxic cobalt]

Leaf, Ghetsis, Potionchu, Koga, Hapu, Viola, Roxanne, Acerola, and I can’t remember is Giovannicat is dark or normal

[keen jasper]

Light Screen and Reflect

Only

[undone ether]

Will this be fine for 10k master mode? UwU

[keen jasper]

More than enough actually

What'd I tell you? More than enough

[eternal mist]

So it's just the 1st 2 50pt thingies?

[keen jasper]

Yes

[eternal mist]

Thanks. That just made brick break so much less appealing now

[marsh vault]

Man bp Candice is a bit broke

[full mesa]

10k done with YOLO teams. Nate was a saviour. I don't think I learnt anything about this week CSMM.

It's nice to be back at 10k.

[tranquil pier]

Best order this week?

[eternal lodge]

In my case I went Grimsley - Because sun > Caitlin - Anni Lillie appreciates the extra dmg from support sync > Marshal - Simply Blue > Shauntal - At first I was gonna use Kyurem so the round 4 buff was helpful, tho i ended up going for a sync countdown accel team

[keen jasper]

You need Defog

It removes all fields except weather

[eternal mist]

what does defog remove

[keen jasper]

#1009554906568462476 message

[tired sleet]

@keen jasper how do you setup 10k again

[keen jasper]

?

[tired sleet]

Csmm

[tribal agate]

pins have parameters

the 2k pre-sync one on the pinned graphic is the most accessible 2k

[keen jasper]

Set it up however you like or follow the pins

Whichever feels easy for you

[tired sleet]

OK uhh what situation do I go for pre sync/post sync

[keen jasper]

Test the waters out

[tribal agate]

pre-sync means you are not allowing the enemy to sync

it's described in the graphic

so situations where you use quad queue or adrenaline 1, turn denial or just massive dps

[bleak eagle]

So if u cant beat em pre sync, u use the post sync one, right?

Gonna try master mode in like an hour or two when i figure out who to fight in what round

[keen jasper]

Yeah, but don't use the post sync parameters on the half sync round

[toxic cobalt]

Post sync is generally harder than presync

Imo

[bleak eagle]

All i want is like, a 7.5k clear

[keen jasper]

Post sync is only viable if you have enough defensive buffs

[bleak eagle]

Or whatever leads me to that beautifulu acynthia ex

I think it may be 10k so, i doubt ill get ex this week

[grizzled hearth]

Is Alder physical or special this week?

[keen jasper]

?

I think he only does special while sides do physical

[tribal agate]

he's hyper beam

so special for the most part

[keen jasper]

Hyper Beam, Silver Wind, yeah

Struggle Bug

[grizzled hearth]

Gotcha

[toxic cobalt]

There’s probably a porybot command to see…

[tribal agate]

don't think there is, i generally look on pomatools
the graphic schedule doesn't say if they're special or physical

[dusk zenith]

can anyone help with master mode

[tribal agate]

from what i see

[toxic cobalt]

It’s all in stdk’s stuff somewhere

[tribal agate]

you have more than enough to massacre this master mode

SS Erika for grass

[keen jasper]

SS Erika or Silver

[tribal agate]

why Silver when SS Erika exists
Anyway Anni Skyla + another Flying for Flying (Lysandre works i guess)

[keen jasper]

Either of them is fine?

[tribal agate]

Silver is a massive hassle for grass while SS Erika not only is self sustainable but also accessible and sets her own nukes
For Ice you might need to off type
For Ghost you can absolutely just go Giovanni, he'll crush it

[keen jasper]

Why not Ghetsis for Shauntal?

[tired sleet]

OK uhh

[tribal agate]

yeah that could work i forget he exists but be prepared for heavy team building
and finally for Rock well Olivia 4/5 is a win

[tired sleet]

I'm alr dying presync

[bleak eagle]

Im just gonna sit here reading to see what teams im gonna use

[tired sleet]

Time to just chill at 4800 then

[dusk zenith]

i see we are both back here lol

[keen jasper]

What round and who are you doing?

[dusk zenith]

@tribal agate what pts do i choose?

[tired sleet]

Grimsby r1

[bleak eagle]

Grinding those ex's huh

[tribal agate]

check the pins, use the bottom left one
pre sync 2k if you're doing 10k
if you're new to MM, you can lower it

bear in mind that relevant rewards stop at 4200 total

so you don't have to immediately go big mode, try low points at first 850 ones on the top left

[keen jasper]

Who are your grass type damage dealers?

[dusk zenith]

i see

[keen jasper]

Like SS Erika, Silver, Selene?

[tired sleet]

Nope

[sick inlet]

[tired sleet]

Celebi venusaur and uhh gigachad mode serperior

[keen jasper]

Celebi? Uhhhhh...

Why are you holding back?

[tribal agate]

to recap @dusk zenith

Grass : SS Erika (not much needed here)
Flying : Lysandre & Anni Skyla (mostly needs not much)
Rock : Olivia (needs speed for inertia, can help with atk)
Ice : Ghetsis or off type with SS Red if you don't like him (Ghetsis badly needs spatk and speed)
Ghost : Giovanni (mostly spatk)

adapt your supports & tanks to what your damage dealer i quoted needs
If you can't do 2k, check the pinned list for 850 points, it's more than enough for rewards!!

[tired sleet]

I literally no clue who to use for my tank

[dusk zenith]

alright

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, for Grimsley, he does mostly physical attacks so you need a physical tank

[tired sleet]

I tried torterra

And it too drop in like 2 moves

[keen jasper]

Did you buff defense?

And also is she leveled high enough?

[tired sleet]

Yes with her xdefense

[sick inlet]

If you take Grim R1, you can literally tank with Celebi
But not recommended if you're not good with flinch shenanigans.
Just throw Celebi and 2 meatshields

[tired sleet]

120

[keen jasper]

That's kinda low, get her to at least 130

[tired sleet]

Celebi doesn't need to be 3/5 ya

Or is the venusaur the mistake here

[upper cliff]

ssr cynthia + alister really hit hard on that ghost weak stage 😮

[wicked otter]

Can you guys help me make a team for master?

[keen jasper]

Nice work

[wicked otter]

I cant make ss erika work dont know why damn

[keen jasper]

Well first of all, you have Ash and Red, those 2 can clear a stage on their own

[random moth]

Can I get some help to off type marshal 2k?

[wicked otter]

Yea i tried using trio aniv in a stage, god damn it was too overkill

But i still need to figure out the rest

[upper cliff]

brendan + ss erika + any support should do the trick on the grass weak stage

[wicked otter]

Brendan with trecko?

Is he still better than silver ho oh?

[upper cliff]

brendan is cool yeah, grid him with sun bonus tiles

[wicked otter]

Lol i run out of grid orb

Can i like exchange red grid to other sync grid?

[random moth]

Trainer lounge

[wicked otter]

What's in trainer lounge?

[upper cliff]

you can get sync orbs in trainer's lodge, but that's rng

[wicked otter]

Ah i see

[random moth]

Trainer Lounge is easy

You can get 5* power ups from chests

[upper cliff]

you might need to off type the ghost stage

[keen jasper]

Laughs in Giovanni Shadow Ball

[upper cliff]

[dusk zenith]

how does this look

[tribal agate]

let's see

Hmmm for team 10 i'd try to use a support that can ramp up Gio's special attack as i believe you have his Mega? Gio wants the sync, not Sycamore
replace Sycamore with Sabrina
for Team 9 you want someone to set Sun for Red, so use Blaine instead of that Player pair

make sure you have the Ghost grid for Giovanni, and Inertia in Olivia's grid for her nuke

otherwise you should be overall pretty safe

[dusk zenith]

alright thanks

[tribal agate]

also @dusk zenith on Team 7, SS Leaf is tankier than Lyra, make sure she's on slot 1

[dusk zenith]

oh ok

[tired sleet]

OK I must be doing something wrong

Cause I can only take out mid

But the side EQ and everyone just drops

[frosty axle]

Updated this with my new CS videos this week https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1016295875124924488

[undone ether]

is he going for 10k mm? 😮

for DetecWolf

[tired sleet]

Aight

Both of them just uhh rekt my strikers

Kyruem and mewtwo just drop pre sync

And doing like no dmg

[keen jasper]

Did you buff defensive stats?

[short glacier]

The stage says to focus on physical moves

so a physical ice striker like Hala

[tired sleet]

He's at 1/5

[short glacier]

for the ice weak

[tired sleet]

As for ghost

[short glacier]

It's still fine I think

[tired sleet]

Ya I'mout

OK but I have to do r3 with caitlin then

[lunar meadow]

Woo! I beat Gengar/Gengar/Gengar 2k clear. #1011619113501720586

Now just for the Arcanine trio at the end of the month

[bleak eagle]

Would this work for round 2 ?

Ill grid blue if it works

[tired sleet]

Time to dip out of 2k

[undone ether]

just make sure to use Fly when you get Cross Impact.... wait Close Combat rather

[tired sleet]

@undone ether I'm chickening out of 10k lmao

[undone ether]

tbh, definitely requires EX Blue (and a bit of EX Falkner too)

[tired sleet]

OK so now I'm hard stuck

[bleak eagle]

[tired sleet]

How do I get to 7500

[bleak eagle]

Look at the parameters on pins, choose either of the 1500 ones

I recommend the pre sync

Or well, that requires u to have mm unlocked first, if u dont, then u have to beat the e4 with all 18 types

[tired sleet]

No issue is this

[lunar meadow]

My only concern is Alder, because Oliviaroc is not EX, and you don't have sand on the team.

The rest of your teams should be able to get there pretty easy.

[tired sleet]

I don't think I can make it to 10k kekw

[bleak eagle]

I have hippowdon, if that's of use

[tired sleet]

So I want to salvage this run

[bleak eagle]

I just didnt think abt using bertha bcuz...idk tbh, sycamore was my first tought

[lunar meadow]

Kyurem against shauntal shouldn't be too bad.

[tired sleet]

It was bad

It dealt I kid u not

1500 on glaciate

[lunar meadow]

I'd almost run Hippowdon/lycanroc/Xerneas over bringing in Kukuiroc.

[tired sleet]

OK so I need 3500

3500/3

Means about 1500 per run

Can even afford a few tweaks

[lunar meadow]

I'll reset and try shauntal round 3 with Kyurem.

What supports do you have?

[bleak eagle]

Both hippowdon and lycanroc are 1/5, if that's a concern

[tired sleet]

I am alr at r3 with shauntal tho

Why do I need to reset

[lunar meadow]

1/5 Oliviaroc?

[lunar meadow]

You don't.

I need to, so I can test teams.

But what supports do you have so I can try to replicate

[bleak eagle]

Yes, kukui is 2/5

So 1/5 oliviaroc and hippowdon, 2/5 kukui

[tired sleet]

My kyruem isn't ex tho

[lunar meadow]

@bleak eagle
Oof. Ya Olivia kinda sucks at base. All her damage is in her sync move, so she wants the multipliers from grid.

Off-typing alder might be a lot easier than trying with 1/5 Olivia

[lunar meadow]

Nobody's is.
It's ex hasn't been added yet

[bleak eagle]

I could try like

Fighting off type

I have acynthia and ex bea

Ex bea being 5/5, acynthia 1/5

[nimble shell]

Is this month CS ez or my roaster improved a lot?

0 effort 10k

[bleak eagle]

I mean im still learning the mechanics and i just thre wtv i had and won

So yeah ig its easy

[nimble shell]

I think I can try all off type all 5 with sc Diantha and SSA Cynthia
Should be fun

[tired sleet]

Here are my remaining supports

[lunar meadow]

I don't have Cyncario, but her and and offensive support like Swellow or Persian should work.

[tired sleet]

I'm try hala

Ppl say he can work

Not sure how effective at 1/5

But worth a shot

[tired sleet]

Oh interesting

[lunar meadow]

Arcanine just there to boost team speed. Any speed buffing support can be subbed in.

Use like 3 noble roars to mitigate her offense

I always go full STR parameters. Way easier and reliable than full sync

[tired sleet]

Uhh

One sync and 2 dead

[tacit matrix]

You picked the wrong parameters, you didn't debuff the enemy

Also are you doing triple queue? Enemy already synced while yours is still at 5

[tired sleet]

OK ya I really don't know what I did wrong hwre

[bleak eagle]

Anyone else i could use to tank in the case of grimsley?

Im trying to do 8k

[timber summit]

Should I do pre or post sync parameters for 10K? I'm using SSErika/Shorty/Def Debuffer for Grimsley|SSEthan/SSBrendan/Lucian for Marshal|Hala/Def Debuffer/Tank for Shauntal|Offtyping Caitlin with Krimsley/Glojo/May| Offtyping Alder with Redchu/Magneclemont/Lucynthia

[boreal ridge]

Not sure what teams I can build for this week of CS. The remaining medals I miss is fire, ground, flying, bug, rock, ghost, dragon, dark and fairy

[tired sleet]

I did it with sheer dumb luck

Froze twice

To finally win

[keen jasper]

You could've easily filled fairy with Sycamore, fire with Silver and dragon with Zinnia

[boreal ridge]

And I guess ground with maxie?

[keen jasper]

Could it be more obvious or not?

Oh well, you can still unlock MM this week

[timber summit]

Does Marshal have something that makes it impossible to debuff his pokemon this week?

[keen jasper]

Unless you have the No Stat Reduction parameter, I think he has Stalwart and Unbending

[timber summit]

Sadge

[timber summit]

I guess I'll change Lucian for another tank then

[golden stratus]

I wanna ask about team comps but

I don't want to flood the channel

What's the order u guys go for in this cs?

[bleak eagle]

I send u my clear so u can see both the order and a few team comps

[full mesa]

To anyone I recommend Ghetsis for ice weak. I'm sorry. He doesn't work.

[prime warren]

You said ghetsis doesn't work

And someone shared a clear few mins ago

[grizzled hearth]

Clearly we have a situation at hand here

[full mesa]

I used standard post sync parameters on the 4th round. Either none of my 3 sync landed as a crit or something is up.

[prime warren]

Do presync one

[bleak eagle]

Keep in mind i only did 1.5k points

[grizzled hearth]

I feel like the no sync critting is the thing that's up

[full mesa]

I am right then.

[prime warren]

Ghetsis can kill mid before sync

[bleak eagle]

I tried 2k and i got angry and closed the game cuz i couldnt even beat grimsley

[full mesa]

I'm listening.

[full mesa]

Retry tomorrow with a clear head.

[grizzled hearth]

Ghetsis can easily 2k, what are you using?

[full mesa]

My team was Sycamore/Ghetsis/Kiawe. Truth to be told, I didn't exactly build teams. Just threw some units together and brute forced the whole MM.

[prime warren]

Ditch sycamore for someone that gives instant stat boost

[grizzled hearth]

And that team is already amazing enough to clear anyway, just stall with Sycamore

I literally just solo'd with him

[prime warren]

So you can just spam ghetsis sync

[grizzled hearth]

With presync, someone like Roxanne would be great

[prime warren]

Or Persian

[grizzled hearth]

That too

Or even Liza

[full mesa]

Ι barely escaped. Should I try Roxanne/Ghetsis/someone that buffs crit?

[grizzled hearth]

Try Roxanne/Ghetsis/Giovanni Persian

[full mesa]

Ok. Is R4 ok?

[prime warren]

Make sure to avoid the debuff null tile

Since ghetsis wants to atk drop first

[full mesa]

Maybe that's why I didn't do damage. I didn't drop their attacks. Only glaciate and sync.

[grizzled hearth]

Round 4 is amazing

[prime warren]

He has like 2 different multipliers in sync based on debuffs

[golden stratus]

Does using double types not count for both pieces?

[prime warren]

[full mesa]

Shhhh.

[grizzled hearth]

Nope only the sync move type

[full mesa]

Let's pretend this didn't happen.

[golden stratus]

frick ne

[full mesa]

Only sync move counts.

[golden stratus]

Frick me

[grizzled hearth]

We're probably gonna remember this till the end of time

[golden stratus]

I went ho oh cause I thought it covers grass and fire

[grizzled hearth]

I assume you ended up with 17/18?

[prime warren]

isnt grass super ez to cover anyways, why did you mess that up

[golden stratus]

dude

This is my second cs run ever

Ofc I mess something up

I just have to pray that I bullcrap it through with a carrying unit and some type that I need

[grizzled hearth]

It's moreso that they didn't know how it worked instead of having trouble actually covering a type

[bleak eagle]

I dont blame the guy, i cant clear 2k, and i had a small idea of what to do

[golden stratus]

But I still covered fire

Which is something I needed ig

[full mesa]

How many stages have you left and how many types?

[full mesa]

You can. Unova is easy.

Just try again tomorrow.

[prime warren]

They all are ez, just bring your strongest team against whichever stage you struggle

Offtype tend to be stronger than a weaker class advantage team

[golden stratus]

Remaining tiles are Grass Ghost Ground and Dark

[full mesa]

Remaining battles?

[prime warren]

Only 1 fight left?

[golden stratus]

No

I have 4 left lmao

[prime warren]

Acerola, nanu, hapu, gardenia

[grizzled hearth]

Then you're fine

[full mesa]

Dude.

[prime warren]

Smh

[full mesa]

It's one type per battle.

[prime warren]

Just bring one of those in each fight

[grizzled hearth]

There was literally no reason to panic

[full mesa]

Complete it today and start MM

[golden stratus]

Oh I forgot rock too oops

Maybe I'll have two fills and Sst red carry lmao

[full mesa]

Or one fill per battle.

If you want help, send us your roster.

[sick inlet]

They want 5 types

So one battle will need 2

[full mesa]

4 battles left.

Yeah...

[toxic cobalt]

Got Bp Erika?

[sick inlet]

SSTRed can indeed fill 2 types

[toxic cobalt]

Ghost is easy Acerola. Others are actual carries.

[full mesa]

Depends on their roster. They might have some limited units like SSLyra or anything else which is actually useful as a whole.

[tired sleet]

Welp

I fucked up

And now I can't do alder

I wasted 2hrs of my time

I will dip

I just constantly die no matter what I do

I'm offtyping

On type is probably worse

Psycho boost too slow ramp

[rotund iron]

If I use a unit in master mode and beat the stage would I sti be able to use them

[tired sleet]

No

[stark berry]

i offtyped 2k alder with the pika gang + yamper if u gots them

theyre p unfair

[tired sleet]

I alr used ash to clear caitlin

[stark berry]

rip

[tired sleet]

And no red and sonia

Alr used leaf

For pots

Imma take the l

8k is alr good enougg

Time to chill to next week

[mint cedar]

Who wants to help me build 10k teams? And I finally got leaf and eevee so excited!

[dusk zenith]

@livid frigate

[livid frigate]

Hello

[elder talon]

Who should I pair with sserika and dawn vs grimsley 2k?

[mint cedar]

Allister, Morty, and Fantina, Chauntel are my ghost strikers, I was doing ss Cyrus Swanna and a striker for Caitlin

I do have summer n ex could he pre sync off type with dark wish?

[sharp totem]

is any order fine besides shauntal #3?

[mint cedar]

Do I just spam his dark void?

[prime warren]

Any order fine, it all depends on roster

[sharp totem]

powered up special attacks

[prime warren]

Yea shauntal hits you with spl atk

But if you hit with with spl atk harder, she dies quicker

I did my shauntal run 3rd

But used zerena in zone for that

So yea, just bruteforce the shit Outta it

Enemy can't kill you if he's already dead

[golden stratus]

Yooo

[austere quest]

Does not seem like I am able to do 2k Master Mode

[full mesa]

Just reset and try again with new teams.

[austere quest]

Can’t survive to the second sync

So going to have to aim for something like 7500 for now

[full mesa]

7.5k ain't bad. Complete that and then reset and try for 10k.

[austere quest]

Would need to make sure my teams are decent and that I have the possibility of completing it later

Yeah, I just the Champion Spirits to EX some folk

[full mesa]

It's trial and error. Also there are already a few f2p videos around.

[toxic cobalt]

Second sync?

[lunar meadow]

Aim for a total of 4.2k points, that's the main goal.

And try to push a bit higher as practice

[timber summit]

I give up on 10K, I can't for the life of me defeat Grimsley

I'm doing post sync, first round

The furthest I could get is Krookodile only standing, but it always needed 1 more attack

[simple storm]

Im tryinna 2v3 10mm and idk who to partner with renegade cynthia

[lunar meadow]

Polteageist?
Someone who boosts defenses and has some healing... But flinching is good for extending your sync versus theirs

[simple storm]

I did it with aaron

He is goooood lol

I spammed defense order

[lunar meadow]

Haha ya, buffs defenses and has some healing. Plus good flinch

[simple storm]

yep

now hala+cred

[lunar meadow]

But also, Vespiquen gives master passive boost

[simple storm]

yes that too

[lunar meadow]

Crabominable basically solos 2k clears. As long as he can survive until he syncs or someone speeds up the sync timer.

Snorlax does help with both

[simple storm]

yep its a good duo

Do i need hala ex?

[lunar meadow]

Ya

[simple storm]

yea figured so

[lunar meadow]

His ex nuke clears sides.

Without EX, then post your sync the enemies usually spam AOE (like rock slide, heat wave, etc) and Crabominable struggles to clean up sides with just ice hammer

[simple storm]

For rock my best option is 1/5 blue i dont think i can duo that unless i offtype

I got ss lusamine ss steven and sst red idk who works besh

[mint cedar]

Thanks @undone oriole I got 10k! First time ever pre sync too.

[simple storm]

I did my first 2v3 10k

easy

[austere quest]

I managed to complete 7250, couldn’t defeat Alder because MDiance is too fragile when he nukes

So that was really the only hurdle I couldn’t overcome

Shantel was the hardest since she got past her second Sync and ko’d my Striker

SSBlue managed to barely clutch it

[mellow linden]

Shauntal was halved Sync countdown?

[austere quest]

The easiest was definitely Marshal again

Yeah

It was 1500 standard

[mellow linden]

Yeah, that parameter can be rough

[austere quest]

It was fine for everyone else

Except Alder

[elder talon]

my god grimsley is brutal when you only have 1/5 sserika

[simple storm]

She can still do beeg dmg

[sick inlet]

Yes?

[elder talon]

Yeah but not enough unfortunately

[simple storm]

Can u do double strike

[elder talon]

Not at 2k. I think I might have to settle for 1.5k again

Yeah

[simple storm]

Brendan is very good too

I remember i used brendan erika and a support

Double dps and erika setting sun for brendan nuke may be the key

[elder talon]

I could try brendan instead of lyra

[simple storm]

Ss lyra?

[elder talon]

No regular

Meganium

[simple storm]

Ohh

She is not good tbh

I never ever use her she just dies all the timw

[elder talon]

I was just using her for the buffs with sun really

I had lyra ssmorty sserika

[simple storm]

Try with brendan instead

[elder talon]

I either kill sharpedo and get destroyed by sides, or kill sides and get destroyed by sharpedo

Yeah I'll give it a try now

[simple storm]

Morty can handle 2 strikers

And if brendan is 3/5 u can do good damage

[elder talon]

I have him at 3/5 so I can grid him too, that should help

[simple storm]

With his sun nodes

[mint cedar]

Lyra is a decent sp def tank, has light screen dire hit all and decent buffs in sun. Probably best as utility or off tank

[keen jasper]

And can boost both offensive stats

[lunar meadow]

Diancie has good physical bulk, but alder is all special. She def need support on the special side to survive

[austere quest]

Yeah I guess I would need to find some Speed Support with SpDef support too

Have been using Skyla-SS Elesa-SC Hilda

[manic mica]

Hello there

[lunar meadow]

Ya, I'd swap out Rotom as all it does there is sync acceleration

[lunar meadow]

Hi

[formal vigil]

Sycamore can do both but needs to sync

[manic mica]

Trying to beat alder but I'm not sure who to use. Most of my pairs are bad at the moment and I used the good ones to defeat the E4

[mellow linden]

We’d need to see your roster and who you’ve already used to give the best possible advice

[manic mica]

My team right now is just what clicking "optimize" gave me

[mellow linden]

Try Archie + May + Roxanne and never use the optimize button again

The optimize button uses metrics that don’t actually work to determine a team’s strength

[manic mica]

I don't usually use the optimize button but I was fr struggling and just wanted to see what it would give me to use

[simple storm]

U have archie and went for mc pikaxhy

[mellow linden]

Anyways, Archie + May + Roxanne is a tried-and-true team

[simple storm]

How did that even happen

[lunar meadow]

I would also suggest a potential team using your rain options.

I doubt you could pre-sync, so you might want a teammate that buffs special defense or lowers enemy special attack.

[mellow linden]

I use it a lot

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode, btw?

[manic mica]

Hard

[lunar meadow]

Ya. If it's hard mode it's easy to offtype, but we'd want to know what types you need

Master mode would be much more challenging.

[lunar meadow]

Can you send us a picture of the medal progress?

It will be hard for us to help you finish this late in the week... But we might be able to get you one more type

[modern pelican]

Can someone link me the current champ stadium schedule

I wanna check if there’s bug weak

[lunar meadow]

[modern pelican]

Oh yeah

[lunar meadow]

Someone always pins it as soon as an infographic is made from the datamine

Oh perfect

Next week has a bug weak

[mellow linden]

The week just started, wdym

[manic mica]

Im not sure how to do that, this is the farthest I've ever gotten, before I was only able to beat 2 of the E4 members

[manic mica]

This one?

[mellow linden]

You can tap the Hall of Fame to bring up your type progress, iirc

[lunar meadow]

He's on the champion already.

And you cannot reset champion stadium unless you've already unlocked master mode.

That means that unless he's already completed the requirements for the medal, he only has 3 more team slots to use to work on it. If he asked for help before doing any of the fights, we'd have 15 slots to work with.

[mellow linden]

Yep! Try to evolve her Nosepass if possible

[mellow linden]

It’s definitely not ideal on type coverage, yeah. 2 weeks left for Unova CS tho, so completing the medal is possible before it leaves

[manic mica]

Hall of Fame is locked

[mellow linden]

This week + 2 weeks, I should say

[mellow linden]

Ah. Hold on, lemme see if I can remember how to check type progress

[manic mica]

I've literally never gotten this far on any champion stadium so I don't really know what I'm doing

[mellow linden]

Might have to clear once to check type progress, based on what I can tell

But since you posted who you used already it’s easy to check the type’s you’ve used thus far

[lunar meadow]

That shows current progress, if you haven't finished

[mellow linden]

8 types, Roxanne would make it 9

Should be easy to finish it off next week

[simple storm]

9 is the minimum u need to complete it

So yeah definately

[mellow linden]

Technically 3 is the minimum, but 9 is the minimum of what I recommend for week 1 of Hard Mode

[lunar meadow]

I think there's a button around here

[mellow linden]

Oh, maybe

Idk

[gaunt sentinel]

Teams for 10k Champion Stadium?

[simple storm]

+101

[frozen depot]

Teambuilding 101:

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

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

Step 2: picking appropriate for your damage dealer

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

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

[simple storm]

Try to make the teams yourself and then u can ask about them

[gaunt sentinel]

I just don’t know what to do other than Groudon, Red and Ash

Well there Steven yeah

[simple storm]

Read the 101 thing i linked

[gaunt sentinel]

I did just don’t know which striker would be best when I have like no good ones for on type or any of the fights

[manic mica]

Okay, got her to level 135 and evolved

[gaunt sentinel]

It’s the 5th I’m unsure of how to do SS May I feel like hasn’t been that impressive at 1/5

[simple storm]

But u have on type damage dealers wdym

[mellow linden]

Nice! If you can get her gridded it would be great, but it’s by no means required for Hard Mode since Archie and May will murder the stage

[simple storm]

U have grass, ice and ghost dps

[manic mica]

Who should I have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

[simple storm]

Other 2 types its ok to offtype with your best stuff

[mellow linden]

Roxanne should be 1st target, May 2nd target, Archie 3rd target

[gaunt sentinel]

I was just about getting through the fights on regular mode with Hala, Giovanni and Groudon in their respective types

Would thought master mode would make it too tough

[simple storm]

It makes it harder but it depends on yoyr teams

[manic mica]

Does this really matter?

[simple storm]

If u can make the teams for those 3 guys, 2 offtype with red or whoever u want and ill try to help afterwards

[keen jasper]

Yes

[simple storm]

Field effects one means rain is always gonna be on

[keen jasper]

Pick one whichever suits your team

[mellow linden]

Allister for Ghost, Blue or Darach for Flying, Hala or Ghetsis for Ice, Brendan for Grass. Your Rock roster is admittedly kinda meh, but you can off-type Alder

Heck, could do Gardenia for Grass instead of Brendan

Or SS Erika

[gaunt sentinel]

They’re all still fine at their move levels?

[simple storm]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Yeah, should be alright (especially SS Erika)

[simple storm]

Move levels arent that impactful

[manic mica]

Like this?
