Champion Stadium

[simple storm]

They are but dont make a unit worse if 1/5

Yes run the stage

[mellow linden]

Yep! For future reference, you can adjust who’s targeted in what order regardless of physical position in the team by using the Tactics button

[simple storm]

He has 0 pieces

For medal

[gaunt sentinel]

And they’re fine to run at just lvl 120-125?

[simple storm]

[mellow linden]

It doesn’t add them until clear

[simple storm]

Thats the optimal level yes

[manic mica]

💀

[mellow linden]

Should be

[simple storm]

What if u change may for cyrus

[mellow linden]

Don’t worry, you’ll have enough to fairly easily get to 18 next week

[gaunt sentinel]

Guess I’ll raise all of those then

[mellow linden]

Already used Zinnia for Dragon

[simple storm]

Ah

[manic mica]

It worked

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

You can come back here next week for help finishing the type medal if you want

[manic mica]

Thank y'all so mo

Much*

[mellow linden]

No problem

[modern tartan]

Teams? Rock, ice and bug still needed for 18 types also what teams for master mode too after reset?

[lunar meadow]

If you come here before starting CS next week. We can try to get you the 9 you are missing.

Some free-friendly options for your missing types include:

Normal: Persian, Blissey
Common options - Eevee or Silvally
Fighting: medicham or Hariyama
Poison: BP Janine, or poison stall
Flying: Swanna
Bug: Masquerain
Ghost: BP Morty
Steel: Zamazenta
Fairy: Xerneas

Dark is the only one that might be a challenge for completely free options.

[formal vigil]

you could try nanu

[keen jasper]

Where be Classic Giovanni?

[lunar meadow]

I forgot him. But yes he's amazing, I EXd mine lol

[keen jasper]

I always noticed Classic Giovanni is excluded from the normal typing

[formal vigil]

i barely use classic giovanni

[lunar meadow]

I forget him because he's so new. I haven't used him much

[simple storm]

Me neither he is an insane support tho

[lunar meadow]

But I EXd him immediately and like his kit a lot

[simple storm]

And he is free

[formal vigil]

i just prefer falkner more

[simple storm]

If i didnt have like the best pool supoorts i would definately ex him

[lunar meadow]

@simple storm
Check my name. I have every EXable support I own EXd except Rosanta 😅

[gaunt sentinel]

would Roserade, Leafeon and a support work on the grass stage if I use the permanent field effect bonus

[simple storm]

Haha so cool, i have like 13 supports, who do u think is the best ex support

[lunar meadow]

I'm only missing 5 I think...
Vanilluxe, chingling, Cyncario, Comfey, and Grapploct

[simple storm]

Yeap set sun turn 1 and erika can just spam blade

[mellow linden]

Should work, yeah

[lunar meadow]

Blastoise, Latios, and Meganium might be the best EX supports. (At a quick thought)

They can be used on a lot of teams, and they want to sync when they are there.

Blastoise and Latios want their mega stat buffs, Latios with sharp entry triggers on mega evolution as well.

Meganium sets sun for Leafeon/Sceptile/Fire units

[simple storm]

I might get latios next time he is available

[formal vigil]

damm I tried 3/5 ss erika on grimsley I destroyed him without even needing to sync with erika

[sonic blaze]

who is easier to leave for r4? got ss lyra and ss ethan.

between marshal and grimsley*

[gaunt sentinel]

would Xerneas be a good support slot then

[simple storm]

Yes

[lunar meadow]

Leafeon is one of the best gen pool units. Maybe second only to Yamper or Samurott

[gaunt sentinel]

neat

[simple storm]

Im still missing 3/5 samurott

[keen jasper]

I'm lacking a few general pool units

[lunar meadow]

Flinch-locking with Samurott/Hydreigon/Zinniamence is fun

[sonic blaze]

i really want courtney

[simple storm]

Courtney is very new

[mellow linden]

Round 4 is faster gauge, iirc. So it shouldn’t matter too much, just save whichever team has more gauge consumption for then

[simple storm]

I can do that with only a celebi

[sonic blaze]

ty

[lunar meadow]

I find Courtney hard to use on a team.

Nidoking and Groudon want speed support, which Courtney doesn't bring. And Courtney can't be a long term tank... So either of those ground strikers needs a support with speed buffs to consider Courtney as the third.

[bleak eagle]

Mind if i send my collection? I'd like some help in achieving 8k master mode

[sonic blaze]

yeah not sure where to view r4 buffs but struggled a few weeks back vs shiftry..

[bleak eagle]

[simple storm]

Ss lyra shouldent been made hot take

Its the best unit in the game

[sonic blaze]

lyra and celebi is the best unit in the game still imo

[simple storm]

It does everything

[sonic blaze]

have her 3/5, its masty

nasty*

[lunar meadow]

Delphox should not have been made.

Celebi should have not had 100% flinch rate. It should have been like "staggering 3", since she already does trapping and debuffing.

[simple storm]

Yeap its a support, dps, tech, flincher, gauge battery, terrain setter, nuker

[simple storm]

Why delphox?

[lunar meadow]

Sleep chaining and AOE sleep screwed up a lot of things for DeNA, balance wise.

Because of how strong Delphox was, every enemy had to have insanely high sleep resist, making any other sleep unit pretty useless (aside from Darkrai)

For example, Lyrapuff is entirely useless because enemies have way too high sleep resist to get use of her multipliers.

[simple storm]

They just made the sleep mechanic wrong

[lunar meadow]

It invalidated any challenge in Battle Villa (the endgame for a while) for players who had her and knew the timing

[simple storm]

Should have been more like a paralize than a full stop on everything

Kinda like legends arceus type of sleep

[lunar meadow]

PLA using "drowsy" and "frostbite" really proves how much better those mechanics are than sleep and freeze in ANY Pokemon game.

[simple storm]

Yep

So true

[lunar meadow]

I really wish gen 9 and onward took frostbite and removed freeze.

[simple storm]

Me too i hope they do that

[lunar meadow]

With intimidate and burn, physical sweepers are so much easier to counter than special. I want frostbite in competitive.

I'd actually been advocating for exactly that mechanic since like gen 4 meta 😅 although I called it "brain freeze"

[gaunt sentinel]

ok so I did the stats in the pins for killing after Sync but my field got wiped after the sync

[lunar meadow]

Which fight?

[gaunt sentinel]

so I did kill before the sync but once I killed the mid the sides wiped me

Grimsley

[lunar meadow]

Xerneas buffs special defense.
If you are getting hit by physical attacks, it doesn't help

[bleak eagle]

Was using this teams for champion stadium but, now that im trying to get 8k, i cant even beat grimsley

[gaunt sentinel]

is Hop a better choice

[bleak eagle]

Tried switching lyra for another character but they get oneshot anyway

:(

[formal vigil]

do you have ss blue

oh nvm

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using?

[bleak eagle]

2k pre sync

[mellow linden]

Might wanna try post-Sync if you’re getting killed too fast

[simple storm]

Well lyra cant tank

[prime warren]

Don't use Lyra

She suk for pre sync

[simple storm]

Yeah

[bleak eagle]

I have to change both the champion team and blue in the round 2 team

[simple storm]

Unless she is ex

[prime warren]

Bring ss gio or smth

[lunar meadow]

Yes, I think almost every move Grimsley has this week is physical, so Zamazenta buffs phys def

[prime warren]

Oh I meant persian

[formal vigil]

you could try moving ss blue to that team

[prime warren]

Since it's faster setup

[formal vigil]

then use sycamore intead for shantaul

[prime warren]

SSB+lyra is fine for ghetsis

Since ssb is the one tanking and ghetsis is the one that syncs

[bleak eagle]

Wait, so who do i put instead of lyra?

[prime warren]

Persian

[bleak eagle]

Or should i rather send my collection

[simple storm]

Another support that buffs attack and crit

[prime warren]

Persian is good enuff

[bleak eagle]

Ig the strat would be to get mp refresh on enough! And then spam solar blade, right?

[prime warren]

Also for flying....why not zinnia?

No need MPR on gio's skill

[bleak eagle]

Which zinnia? I have the bp one too

[gaunt sentinel]

ok now I killed to slow and got nuked by the sync

[prime warren]

The rayquaza

She megas and get dragon ascent

[gaunt sentinel]

so post sync parameters I should try I suppose

[bleak eagle]

Oh, mostly cuz i didnt think abt it

[prime warren]

I noticed higher dmg than my 5/5 blue

From her

[bleak eagle]

Should i still use 2k pre sync if i change to persian or?

[prime warren]

Tho I did bring blaine

Pre sync

But make sure to set up debuffs

Ghetsis can kill middle in 2 syncs

[bleak eagle]

Hold on, who i am trying to kill is grimsley, for round 1

Ghetsis was like, round 3

Think i specified on the team names which ones im using for which rounds

[prime warren]

Well you can't repeat units

So better to pre build than suffer

[gaunt sentinel]

yeah even when Erika survived the sync the side still killed me

[prime warren]

I personally just bring Brendan and support EX

[gaunt sentinel]

is 1/5 Brendan a better option

[formal vigil]

not really

[prime warren]

No

Brendan works coz he gets charging sun 5

If you don't have Brendan, silver is better

But thing with silver is, solar beam is spl

So you need someone that buffs both atk and spl atk at same time for faster setup

Brendan +6 with his TM instantly

That's why persian

Usually the team runs sonia or hilbert

To boost Erika

[gaunt sentinel]

well the team I'm running is SS Erika, Gardenia and Hop and that's my box

[prime warren]

Does gardenia buff spl atk quick enuff

[bleak eagle]

[full mesa]

Just a tip for you mates. Grimsley is an easy poison stall at 2k. Keep that in mind.

[boreal ridge]

completes CS
checks medals
Forgets to complete the last type to unlock MM

[full mesa]

😅

[boreal ridge]

I forgot to complete Dark type

[modern tartan]

i just unlocked 18 types. How to reach 10k pts in master mode?

[prime warren]

Don't use Erika TM more than once

[gaunt sentinel]

actually realized she doesn't buff herself with it at all

[prime warren]

And use it before setting sun

Persian gives +4 atk with grid

Or +3 if you are going spl route

[gaunt sentinel]

well she does but it's locked behind her using her tm to reverse the leaf storm debuffs into buffs

[prime warren]

And +2 crit

[gaunt sentinel]

but I just gave her dauntless

[prime warren]

Yea gardenia scuffed then.....probs that's why I never bothered to use her

[full mesa]

For now aim to do 4.2k. If you find it easy, then reach for 7.5k. After that aim for 10k.

[astral crane]

This week was arguably easier than last

[prime warren]

Gonna be hard to setup with Erika who is physical

[formal vigil]

she gets sunny deposition though on grid

[gaunt sentinel]

forgot oof

[manic mica]

Is this a good poison team or not

[simple storm]

Usejanine instead of erika

[manic mica]

I know i need to level them up but ignore the levels

The bp janine ?

[simple storm]

No

The one with ariados

[prime warren]

Ariados one

[manic mica]

Ok

Thanks

[prime warren]

Coz drops offensive stats on poison

[simple storm]

Read what her poison drench does

[modern tartan]

How good are these 5 teams with my deck?

[manic mica]

Oh yeah way better than erika

[simple storm]

Why are u doing monotype?

Any reason?

[modern tartan]

no

i thought was the weakness

[simple storm]

+101.

+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]

Please read this

Damage dealers are fine but the other 2 picks arent that good

[modern tartan]

which team? all 5?

[simple storm]

Yep

All 5 teams are not master mode level

[prime warren]

Just build 5 godtier offtype teams and use em everywhere

Don't have to suffer team building for 18 types

Psure that roster has the capability

[simple storm]

If u cant teambuild 10kmm wont be doable

[prime warren]

Also 1/5 persian.....go farm for persian

[modern tartan]

im farming. stamina issues

[prime warren]

The free 3 units leave in 3 days

Try to get atleast 3/5....

[manic mica]

Wait 3 days?

[mellow linden]

Prioritize getting all 3 of them to 3/5 before doing anything else with stamina at this point. Sync Orbs are easy enough to come by and powerups just mean they can’t tank at worst. Not having 3/5 means you’re locked out of parts of their kit

[manic mica]

Damn i need to stop being a lazy bum and farm persian

[prime warren]

I remember they leave at 15th of the month

So probs this month

[simple storm]

[prime warren]

Too lazy to login and verify

[bleak eagle]

Man, i managed to kill sharpedo

And then rock slide destroyed me in one shot

[prime warren]

You should one shot sides

[bleak eagle]

Im abt to exchange power ups for champion spirits

[mellow linden]

Yeah, they leave the 15th

[mellow linden]

Don’t

[modern tartan]

blue prob wont be possible but 3/5 gio and misty should be done

[toxic cobalt]

But…why???

[mellow linden]

Terrible trade, not even close to worth

[prime warren]

Just get 1st copy of blue

Strike candies are more common

Support candies are fairly rare

[mellow linden]

The Supports are priority, yeah. At the very least 4-star Strike candies are somewhat common

[bleak eagle]

Im only doing 8k for those 10 spirits

[simple storm]

Thats stupid

Dont do that

[bleak eagle]

Im at 40/50

[full mesa]

No. You have Sycamore who works as you tank and also buffs spdef. You have SSLeaf who works as your badly poison user and has the ability you heal your units with potions. You have BPErika who again inflicts badly poison on your enemies. She can also inflict trap for faster stall.
You don't need 2 badly poison user. You need one badly poison user and one unit who can lower the primary offensive stat of your opponent. The third position goes to the tank.

[lunar meadow]

We used to have almost no limited supports... Now I'm desperate for more candy

[simple storm]

Wait another week dont be dumb

[modern tartan]

could u guys help me building? so no need to keep weakness elements?

[mellow linden]

They used to give us loads of 4-star Support candies when we had no use for them. Now we have great need of them and they give us so few

[prime warren]

I used to do this stupid stuff where I candy the free pair at 1/5 itself and then buy the copies for PUs
Now I regret it

Support candies are lot of demand now

Everything they release is either support or tech for free 4*

[simple storm]

Only your dps needs to do the weaknesss, and try to find out what your dps needs help buffing, if u think and read what your units do its not hard

[lunar meadow]

I have 850 champion spirits and 74ish EX units.

I've never transferred power ups to spirits.

Long term, unless you are a huge whale you will never need more spirits than power ups

[simple storm]

I hace like 30 something ex units and like more than 1k champ spirits

[lunar meadow]

Are you trying to beat hard mode with all 18 types?

Or trying to push master mode?

[prime warren]

1350 champion spirits and 54 EX

That's how common spirits are

They accumulate too quick

[formal vigil]

[boreal ridge]

I am in immense pain where I forgot to use a dark type before completing CS Hard

[lunar meadow]

Spirits are only rare for your first 3-4 EXs

[modern tartan]

i just unlocked hard mode. dont know if 10k pts is possible but its my goal

[toxic cobalt]

So this does still happen with the new UI

[prime warren]

Just do 850 pts per run for first time

After that try 2k

[gaunt sentinel]

there an SS Steven setup that'd work for Grimsely since it seems like Erika and Gardinia isn't working

[lunar meadow]

Ok. So you just unlocked master mode, then?

A good first goal is hitting 4200 points. You get most of the best rewards by that point. Around 850 per battle.

[boreal ridge]

I thought I had used a dark type after completing CS but turns out I did not

[gaunt sentinel]

think I should just not go 10k immediately lol

[golden stratus]

What are the easiest limitations to set in mm?

[boreal ridge]

Goddamn it, guess I wait till next week

[lunar meadow]

This is the darkless timeline.

[boreal ridge]

[full mesa]

Check pins

[golden stratus]

Wait the points u get in mm is determined by how much u nerf ur team?

[simple storm]

Nerf?

[prime warren]

Also on how much you buff your opponent

[bleak eagle]

Im just coming back and thinking abt playing long term, so far i have 3 rows

[toxic cobalt]

Technically no but I guess so

[bleak eagle]

And acynthia when i get the spirits

[toxic cobalt]

You have 3 rows of EX already? Isn’t that two per stage?

[eternal lodge]

Trying to 3K grimsley with this, both snarl and liquidation destroys any run

[simple storm]

How are u losing lol

[prime warren]

That team is overkill

[mellow linden]

Parameters for Master Mode are a combination of nerfs to certain aspects of your team (healing potency, move gauge, etc.) and buffs to the opponents (stats, physical/special shields, etc.)

[prime warren]

Morty doesn't let the team die and gives more sun

[modern tartan]

ok, ty. What debuffs should i select each battle? there's some easy combos?

[eternal lodge]

Liquidation ohkoes hooh and snarl leaves the whole team on red

[mellow linden]

There’s parameters in pins

850 standard is recommended for someone who’s new to Master Mode

[bleak eagle]

Think abt the fact that p much 2/3 of those are the free ones, rosa, skyla, and the legendary event ones

[eternal lodge]

I'm using half HP mod since the extra HP doesn't let me any chance to finish the middle before nuke

[prime warren]

Isn't ho oh weak to water

Bring someone else to tank

[eternal lodge]

Electric

[prime warren]

Oh

[bleak eagle]

Only ones thar are actual sync pairs i ex'd are like bea, aaron, rcynthia, ssblue, acynthia and sabrina

[prime warren]

Then you are doing smth wrong

[full mesa]

There are a few f2p guides online. You can easily clear almost everything with the free units (excluding LG and some EBEs).

[eternal lodge]

And both hooh and meganium can't handle liquidation

[prime warren]

Coz ho oh doesn't die to neutral

[mellow linden]

Why half HP at start?

[formal vigil]

yeah thats silvers ho oh weak to water

[eternal lodge]

As I said, I'm doing 3K on grimsley

[toxic cobalt]

Supports you say?

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using?

[prime warren]

3k with that team?

[mellow linden]

Oh, 3k

[prime warren]

It's scuffed

[eternal lodge]

Lemme show

[prime warren]

Not even EX on Morty and Erika

[mellow linden]

That’s a challenge run

[prime warren]

Gonna be hard to tank hits ofc

[full mesa]

I can't help with that. 2k per run is my limit.

[bleak eagle]

Basically, these characters

And well, ho oh, when that reruns

[prime warren]

I did 2.5k offtype once and then gave up
It's too hard for my small brain

[eternal lodge]

For now I've 3.25K Caitlin, 2.75K Shauntal and 2.5K marshal, grimsley might have to go lower

[simple storm]

Oh if u wanna 3k u need 3/5 morty ex and 3/5 erika ex

[eternal lodge]

Also, I think I lowered it to 2.5k alr

[prime warren]

You can't do more than 2k anyways

Anything more doesn't get calc'd

[full mesa]

And you can't 10k?

[bleak eagle]

I cant 8k

[prime warren]

Wait, that box can't 10k?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, above 2k on a stage is purely for challenge runs

[bleak eagle]

[full mesa]

Are you sure you follow the team building instructions?

[bleak eagle]

Think its mostly cuz i have a serioud lack of orbs

[mellow linden]

Sabrina + Giovanni + Bianca should be easy off-type 2k, btw

[full mesa]

Ok. Understandable.

[toxic cobalt]

Okay so are you using one of those supports in each team?

[eternal lodge]

just checked, i was still trying 3k it seems

[eternal lodge]

i just have to change 2500 to 3000

[mellow linden]

Yeah, didn’t realize you were doing 3k when I asked that

Tbh I have no idea how to help with challenge runs like that

[eternal lodge]

alr

for now the team that went the farthest on this stage for me is entei, meganium and shiny hooh somehow, i could try with sst red but i wanna keep it for the champion

[manic mica]

I cant survive

This is the team

[mellow linden]

Is Poison Stall your only option?

Also, Hard Mode or Master Mode and what parameters?

[manic mica]

I have olivia but i dont like using her since she take recoil

[eternal lodge]

may i suggest to switch xerneas with psyduck and ariados with something to boost your defenses

[mellow linden]

Olivia doesn’t have recoil, wdym

[manic mica]

Oh

Yeah i got confused with raihan

[mellow linden]

Psyduck boosts defenses and Janine or another debuffer is near-mandatory for stall teams

[manic mica]

Since i tried with him earlier

[mellow linden]

Do you mean Roark?

[manic mica]

I use this parameter

[mellow linden]

Because idk how you mix up Olivia and Raihan

[manic mica]

No raihan

[mellow linden]

…They aren’t even the same type

[manic mica]

Im just tired

[mellow linden]

Alright

Anyway, if Hop is available then Hop + Olivia + Acerola or Bertha is a great team to slap Alder

Assuming 3/5 Olivia, that is

[eternal lodge]

psyduck requires luck for mpr, thats why i suggest another one to buff your teams bulk, ive used ss blue, ss leaf and misty swimsuit before and it was enough to beat 2k sidney

[manic mica]

Dont have hop anymore

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

[eternal lodge]

???

[mellow linden]

3/5 Hilbert or 3/5 Sonia could work as well

[full mesa]

Use dhim

[eternal lodge]

oh, so you used it already

[full mesa]

Sonia might. Hilbert needs another tanky healer alongside for that battle.

[manic mica]

Used sonia but not hilbert yet i'll try your team

[eternal lodge]

if you wanna use olivia, you could try eggmon kabutops, lycanroc and samurott

[mellow linden]

If Hilbert doesn’t work you could try Aaron and just use each of Olivia’s buffs once if Aaron isn’t 3/5

[manic mica]

I dont even have aaron somehow

[full mesa]

That's pure comedy 😹. Could you send us your roster again?

[mellow linden]

That would probably be ideal, actually

[rough cobalt]

I cant beat marshall

[simple storm]

Use grass

[rough cobalt]

Hes flying weak

[simple storm]

What u have for flying

[rough cobalt]

Lysandre and ny lance

[full mesa]

Send your roster.

[simple storm]

Lysandre cant win?

[mellow linden]

Neither of those 2 are winning?

[full mesa]

I did him with SCLillie/SkylaEx/Nate.

[mellow linden]

Hard Mode or Master Mode, what parameters if Master Mode, and what team?

[eternal lodge]

if this helps, i used ex rotom, alakazam and pidgeot to beat marshal

[summer flare]

Having ash and red really changed how I play the mode. If I can achieve 2k on caitlyn round 4, I could likely get to my first 10k clear

The thing is that now I don't have a busted pair to bulldoze through 2k

[eternal lodge]

you got an easy lussa team there for marshal

[summer flare]

Went round 1 grimsley with SS lyra

[rough cobalt]

I already used her

[summer flare]

Round 2 was shauntal with SST red + SS Elesa, to spam sync

[eternal lodge]

you wont beleive how much dmg can fit into a pidgeot

[summer flare]

Round 3 was ash Volkner against marshall

[eternal lodge]

i believe also sserena right

[rough cobalt]

I can try ss serena

[summer flare]

Now my best ghost pairs are 1/5 Allister and mewtwo

[eternal lodge]

kind of missread the message, with drifblim you should be able to deal with caitlin

well, both mewtwo and allister also work

[summer flare]

I do have drifblin

Actually can full grid drifblin do better than mewtwo?

Or 1/5 Allister

Mine is 4/5 and rotting there

[manic mica]

My olivia cant tank a sync

[simple storm]

No olivia can

[manic mica]

What's wrong with mine then

[rough cobalt]

NOOOO So close

[summer flare]

I could likely fully grid and EX drifblin if need be

[mellow linden]

Olivia will ideally kill before Sync

What Move Level is your Olivia?

[manic mica]

5/5

[mellow linden]

EX?

[manic mica]

Nope

[mellow linden]

That shouldn’t matter too much, but it means you’ll have to be wary of sides once Alder goes down

You’ll want to grid her for Inertia and Sand Blaster tiles at minimum so she can Sync nuke

[manic mica]

So i should bring up someone who can set up sandstorm ?

[mellow linden]

Yes, that’s why I said Bertha or Acerola as one of her teammates

[manic mica]

Alright thanks you for y'all help and sorry if im annoying

[mellow linden]

Nah, this channel is specifically for helping people

Questions are expected

[rough cobalt]

Damn it

[simple storm]

Cynthia cant sync if u use bug zone

Meaning no ex support

Meaning very hsrd to offtype

[mellow linden]

Wait, why even use SSA Cynthia on that team?

[eternal lodge]

bulk i beleive

[mellow linden]

Could use BP Morty or something

Or Aaron

If you have him

[eternal lodge]

as i said, blue can do the trick

[mellow linden]

Probably could

[eternal lodge]

a 3/5 non ex will easily 2k

[rough cobalt]

I dont like blue though

Plus hes low level

[mellow linden]

Wait, that’s a 3/5 Aaron

Use Aaron with SC Subway Bros

[modern tartan]

4.250 was easy

next is 7500?

[manic mica]

Idk what's wront with my olivia but she only does 3k with sync + sandstorm

[eternal lodge]

you could go for red, palentine dawn and lysandre

[simple storm]

Yep

If u want u can reset and do 7.5k

And get the extra rewards

[mellow linden]

Does she have Inertia and Sand Blaster tiles?

[manic mica]

Yes she does

[mellow linden]

Did she crit?

[eternal lodge]

may you show your units to help

[manic mica]

Yes

[rough cobalt]

BOOM

[eternal lodge]

if you could exclude the ones you used on previous rounds then even better

wtf, how did both of them get defeated

[simple storm]

Wtf

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using for the run, then? She should definitely be doing more with her Sync on a crit

[simple storm]

Are u using auto

[rough cobalt]

No

Its just they died cause of close combat

[simple storm]

Even cait? Wow

That cc is strong

[manic mica]

Striker

Tech

Supports

[rough cobalt]

No

Caitlin got destroyed

[manic mica]

These one

[eternal lodge]

you could use lycanroc, sableye and kimono grimsley

with bisharp youll have to switch that no stat reduction mod tho

[mellow linden]

I was gonna say maybe Fall Caitlin + Olivia + Acerola

[eternal lodge]

i see a sableye there

[manic mica]

Ah nvm thought you were talking about sandlash

Im really tired

[mellow linden]

Did you have any Defense buffs?

[mellow linden]

This team would need Olivia to use her Trainer Move twice, btw

[rough cobalt]

Welp

[mellow linden]

Wait, did you pick halved Sync countdown for the round parameter?

[eternal lodge]

it is the champion, all buffs from previous rounds are in the fight

[mellow linden]

No, only 1 is

[toxic cobalt]

What?

[mellow linden]

Your choice

You get a round 5 parameter and pick 1 parameter from rounds 1-4

[eternal lodge]

then there must be a bug because i also had that halved sync countdown and i didnt pick such parameter

[mellow linden]

Might’ve picked some sync countdown reduction Master Mode parameters by mistake

[summer flare]

It seems a team of Sabrina Giovanni and Roxanne can pull 2k off on caitlin, but I would likely have to adapt things to beat it. Either allow Stat reduction so mewtwo can use his on a roll multis or EXing Sabrina so Mewtwo hits harder post sync

[mellow linden]

No Bianca?

[summer flare]

Wonder which would be better forno

Oops

[mellow linden]

Could probably off-type with a Psychic team

[summer flare]

No

I don't have bianca

[mellow linden]

Oof

[eternal lodge]

how about girafarig

[summer flare]

I can beat it with this team as long as Mewtwo kills reuniclus presync

[toxic cobalt]

You have an EX Rosa though right?

[summer flare]

I do, but I like Roxanne's tankiness through this

[toxic cobalt]

Giovanni Rosa Roxanne then

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Giovanni buffs his own crit

[simple storm]

Why didnt u pick infinite sand hello?

[modern tartan]

difference between 1500 pre-sync and pos-sync and status stall?

[simple storm]

one u

[mellow linden]

Sliding scale of how hard the opponents hit vs. how bulky they are

[simple storm]

Pre sync means before sync, post sync means after they sync

status is poison stalling basically

[manic mica]

I cant kill alder with the sync. She only do 7k damages

[modern tartan]

when one or another is better?

[mellow linden]

Pre-Sync hits hardest and is squishiest, stall hits weakest but is bulkiest, post-Sync is in-between

[eternal lodge]

presync makes it easier to beat the opposing team at the cost of an instant dead run if the opponent manages to sync, post sync lets you have a chance to survive the sync at the cost of a longer fight and status stall is to beat the opponent through chip dmg

[mellow linden]

Something definitely isn’t right. Can you screenshot when Olivia’s Sync damage is on-screen so I can see what might be happening?

[manic mica]

Alritght

[keen jasper]

Do you have sandstorm active?

[mellow linden]

Also, you should be able to Sync twice before Alder Syncs once

[manic mica]

Using this team btw so no sandstrom

[mellow linden]

Oh, well that’s gonna affect her Sync damage for sure

[manic mica]

I'll try with acerola but the damages shouldnt change that much

[toxic cobalt]

Why that team

[mellow linden]

Sand Blaster won’t do anything without Sandstorm, which is a big chunk of damage gone

[keen jasper]

Exactly, but Olivia will die to the next AoE move

[toxic cobalt]

Not if you flinch it

[mellow linden]

Acerola, baybee

[keen jasper]

Well, my team was Roxanne, Olivia and Bertha so no flinching for me

[mellow linden]

Why Roxanne of all options?

[keen jasper]

Speed increase

[eternal lodge]

speed and bulk it seems

[mellow linden]

And that’s about it

[keen jasper]

Also theme skill synergy for Olivia

[nova fiber]

hi, first time in this channel. do the point based rewards reset every week or every month?

[mellow linden]

Can’t say I recommend it when there are so many Attack buffers to choose from and Olivia can buff her own Speed via Amped Up if need be

[eternal lodge]

weekly

[mellow linden]

Weekly

[toxic cobalt]

W33kly

[nova fiber]

good to know

[modern tartan]

ty

[keen jasper]

Does the attack buff have more effect than Inertia?

Just wondering

[mellow linden]

Dunno how it works out, but Olivia can buff her own Speed via Amped Up if you can’t fit a Speed buffer on the team while also getting an Attack buffer

[toxic cobalt]

No hilby?

[keen jasper]

Not a single one

[toxic cobalt]

[mellow linden]

Can even sacrifice Surging Sands tile so Stone Edge maxes Speed in 2 uses

[keen jasper]

I'm only lacking Courtney, Hilbert, Lucian and Aaron (I think there's a few more?) from the general pool units, and I've been playing for 5 months now

I keep on getting so many SS Grimsleys and Ethans

[mellow linden]

Hop had already been used, I take it?

[keen jasper]

I could've probably save him for Olivia, but used him for Ghetsis instead

[mellow linden]

Why Ghetsis?

[keen jasper]

It didn't matter, Bertha's DoTs still managed to get the job done

[keen jasper]

IDK

I still managed the 10k pts. anyways

[manic mica]

That's her sync damage

[mellow linden]

If it works, I guess

Wait, are you not using “Tricksy!”?

[eternal lodge]

use tricksy since the start

[keen jasper]

Probably better if you were using the perma field effects

[modern tartan]

someone know how falkner works with his fly build grid?

[mellow linden]

You need to use that so Olivia’s Inertia tile is activating

[manic mica]

I tought tricksy was just a move gauge accelerator since i dont user her a lot

[keen jasper]

Since you're using sandstorm and Faitlin

[eternal lodge]

it saves you from using the tm from olivia and a few attack x

[mellow linden]

No, it’s an Attack and Speed buff

Plus accuracy

It’s part of why she’s so good as a Support

[keen jasper]

What round parameter are you using?

[eternal lodge]

it is literally the perfect support for olviia

[mellow linden]

No wonder Olivia’s Sync is doing so little

No Inertia

[keen jasper]

No Inertia bonus is what

[simple storm]

Also not max attack

[mellow linden]

It’s a lot

The Sync modifiers based on stat level goes up to +100%

[keen jasper]

Again, with Faitlin and sandstorm, you definitely need the perma field parameter

[eternal lodge]

well, tbh with inertia it will deal around 14k at most which isnt enough so it will be more about he himself optimizing the move order

[keen jasper]

That's how much mine did

[mellow linden]

What parameter are you using rn?

[keen jasper]

Who?

[prime warren]

The pic also seems like only +3 atk

[mellow linden]

Sorry, could’ve been more clear. The guy we’re helping optimize Olivia for this

[prime warren]

And probs didn't crit

[keen jasper]

Ah

[eternal lodge]

it shows it crit

[mellow linden]

Perma field effects would also mean Fall Caitlin can Sync and give permanent Light Screen/Reflect

[keen jasper]

Crit will be like more than 10k damage

[mellow linden]

Which would be huge for team survivability

[simple storm]

Why arent u picking perma field effects @manic mica

[keen jasper]

That's exactly what I said

I'm like even with just sandstorm as a field, I would still pick perma field parameter in a heartbeat

[simple storm]

Reading hard i guess

[keen jasper]

Also, @manic mica do you have Bertha?

[manic mica]

Nope

[mellow linden]

They don’t, they posted their roster earlier

[keen jasper]

Ah ok

[manic mica]

None of the sinnoh E4 sadly

[keen jasper]

Didn't know

[manic mica]

She somehow did worse than earlier

[mellow linden]

That didn’t crit

[keen jasper]

Didn't crit

[simple storm]

And u dont have intertia maxed

[keen jasper]

The field effect shows it all

[simple storm]

u didnt even buff crit

[keen jasper]

Didn't use Olivia's TM to buff crit

[mellow linden]

Yep

[simple storm]

How can u do something and forget to do the other lmao

[keen jasper]

Does Faitlin have a crit buff?

[simple storm]

Nope

She doesnt buff crit

[mellow linden]

Gimme a sec, I’m gonna go get my all-in on Sync grid screenshotted for them

[keen jasper]

Ah ok, then you need to use Olivia's TM twice then X Attack once

Also, is Faitlin EX-ed?

If not, then sync purely with Olivia

[toxic cobalt]

Dracovish, a little gentler please

[mellow linden]

She isn’t EXd, unfortunately

I saw their roster earlier

[keen jasper]

Then yeah, sync only with Olivia

Though I recommend syncing with Faitlin first to get the fields

Or maybe not enough damage?

Before Alder syncs?

[eternal lodge]

Why the fields

[simple storm]

Buff crit +3 max attack and max speed with sand and u should be able to nuke

[toxic cobalt]

Fields help you survive

[mellow linden]

Here’s a grid that helps get Inertia super fast, you’ll want Olivia to do Trainer Move -> Trainer Move -> Stone Edge before she Syncs and you can use the X Attack to finish Attack buffs afterwards if you want

[keen jasper]

Mitigations

[eternal lodge]

Olivia will die to any hit even with barriers

[toxic cobalt]

Also having Faitlin and infinite fields and not syncing with her is a bannable offense

[keen jasper]

Besides, Alder's HP isn't that high anyways

So you can sync with Faitlin first for the fields then Olivia next

[mellow linden]

I’m gonna work out a plan B for them just in case

[toxic cobalt]

Koga Janine Sycamore?

[manic mica]

I'm finally going somewhere with this guy

[eternal lodge]

That's a bit better

[mellow linden]

I was gonna say SS Giovanni + Skyla + Liza (or some other Sp. Def. buffer) and off-type if those 3 are available

[keen jasper]

There's some progress at least

[mellow linden]

Since their SS Gio is 3/5

[manic mica]

i hate rock stage week

[eternal lodge]

You should be doing at least a bit more than 3/4 of his HP before sync by now

[mellow linden]

As a plan B if this team doesn’t work you could try SS Giovanni + Skyla + a Sp. Def. buffer (Liza is a cheap one) to off-type

[toxic cobalt]

Critical crit intensifies

[nova fiber]

I have very few on-type strikers for this week. Which fight is generally considered to be most difficult for me to use my stronger off-type units for?

[keen jasper]

Hard or master?

[nova fiber]

for master. I've cleared hard

this is really my first time tackling master though so I'm trying to plan better

[keen jasper]

What's your goal on master mode, 10k?

[simple storm]

Well everyone has ice and ghost dps

[nova fiber]

ideally 10k yes

[simple storm]

Depends on your roster

Brendan can do grass

[keen jasper]

Yeah, show us your units

Ghetsis can do Shauntal

[eternal lodge]

Hardest would be either marshal or the champ, and round 2 is also no joke

[simple storm]

Flying and rock should be the ones to offtype imo

[mellow linden]

In a pinch there’s Sycamore Horn Leech DPS semi-meme

[simple storm]

Even gardenia could clear

[keen jasper]

Half sync parameters is literally one of the worst ones

[manic mica]

Ok im sorry that im annoying but now the sides are the problem

[keen jasper]

Did Alder do Heat Wave?

[manic mica]

No

Killed him before

[keen jasper]

Then I suggest hitting one of the sides before killing Alder then hit the side again to kill

[eternal lodge]

Had to use SS Steven to do that round because nothing else could deal enough dmg before sync and couldn't even 3k, had to settle at 2.75k, it was a nightmare

[keen jasper]

Though you're kinda left with the last side to deal with and Olivia will die

[mellow linden]

If that team ends up not working you could try off-typing with SS Giovanni + Skyla + a Sp. Def. buffer

[toxic cobalt]

Some workable teams:
Giovanni Rosa Acerola
Candice Ghetsis Skyla
Gardenia Roxanne Blaine (needs dauntless)

Offtype the other two?

[keen jasper]

So you're at round 3 now?

Who did you do?

Or did you do it already?

[eternal lodge]

4, still trying to 3k grimsley

[simple storm]

No ss lyra?

[keen jasper]

Oh, you damn whale

[eternal lodge]

I wished,, only took both story bundles for my bday and barely got anything

[keen jasper]

Wait I'm confused

Are you doing 3k pts. on Grimsley or you only have 3k pts. reaching Grimsley?

[manic mica]

Dang it

[mellow linden]

They’re doing 3k on Grimsley

[eternal lodge]

Doing 3k, i already did the 10k csmm so now I'm going for a higher point

[mellow linden]

Is Acerola gridded for Aggravation?

[keen jasper]

I knew that would happen

[manic mica]

She is

[keen jasper]

Ok then

https://tenor.com/view/good-night-chat-jirachi-pokemon-cute-gif-24421725

[mellow linden]

Could try flinch hax then.

Alternatively, if you’d like you could maybe try SS Giovanni + Skyla + a Sp. Def. buffer for off-typing

I guess for this fight Olivia needs EX

At least for any sort of not-hair-pulling fight

[manic mica]

Im gonna try this then

[mellow linden]

Best of luck!

[manic mica]

Just a question

What type should i focus on ss gio

Right now he is poison gridded

[mellow linden]

Mega Kick has the highest base power

[modern tartan]

is 10k a lot harder than 7,5k?

[mellow linden]

I would say so

[eternal lodge]

It is slightly harder

[mellow linden]

It’s at least a little harder since you can’t cherry-pick your parameters as much

Especially so on stall since there aren’t quite enough purely-defensive enemy buff parameters

[blazing narwhal]

Can anyone recommend me parameters for 2v3

[eternal lodge]

It would be same as 3v3

[blazing narwhal]

Not rly. The whole point of pre sync is getting 2 syncs before opponents first

[mellow linden]

So do post-Sync parameters then?

[blazing narwhal]

Ig I can try post sync but was wondering if anyone had some diff that they use

[blazing narwhal]

Doesn’t hurt to ask ?

[mellow linden]

Fair

It just feels like there’s a weird aversion to using post-Sync parameters that people have sometimes

[cedar bronze]

man use sync quickly condition is hell

[mellow linden]

Yeah, that parameter can be annoying

Fall Caitlin can be really good for that if you have her

[blazing narwhal]

Usually maxed defense will let u tank the sync

[manic mica]

The off type dont seems to work too

Gio somehow only deal 1k damages when syncing

Wait no

He does 3k

And 1k with mega kick

[mellow linden]

1. Did you use his Trainer Move at the start of the fight?

2. Does he have his Critical Crit tile?

[manic mica]

And around 2k with max move

[manic mica]

Both yes

[mellow linden]

Does he have his Haymaker tile?

And did Skyla Sync 1st?

And (apologies for so many questions) what’s his Lucky Skill?

[manic mica]

1. nope
2. yes
3. critical strike 2

[mellow linden]

Get his Haymaker tile, that’s a huge amount of damage missing from Sync

[manic mica]

I have finally done it thanks to all of you

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[manic mica]

Thanks

And sorry if i was being annoying

[mellow linden]

Nah, you’re good

You can put that in #1010274591601598555 if you want

[manic mica]

Oops sorry my bad

[mellow linden]

It’s fine

[manic mica]

Cant send messages in the channel

[mellow linden]

You have to make a new post

There should be a button for it

If it doesn’t work you may need to update Discord

[manic mica]

Ok then i rather not. The update is horrible

Thanks for your help

[mellow linden]

No problem

[random moth]

Yo can I get some help?

Marshal 2k

[sharp totem]

Hala came in clutch for Shauntal, 4k Hammer Arms are nice with little to no investment

strugglin to get the rest of the badges though

[blazing narwhal]

@wraith cove what params do u use for ur 2v3s ?

@alpine cobalt ^^^

[summer flare]

First time 10k

Round 1 grimsley with SSB, SS lyra and Brendan
Round 2 shauntal with SS Kris, SS Elesa and SST red
Round 3 Marshal with Volkner, ash and skyla
Round 4 with Giovanni, Roxanne and Sabrina

Round 5 with Ingo, Emmet and Nita

[frank shuttle]

Which sucks I can't pass xD

[latent flax]

Highest I can manage for now

[blazing narwhal]

#1010274591601598555

[latent flax]

Can I aim for 10k with this box

[toxic cobalt]

Yes

If you can level a few more pairs to 120

[simple storm]

i can show u mine if u want

[blazing narwhal]

Yuuupp

If they work

[simple storm]

i alr cleared

used all strengh, -2 gauge, sync buff ,no status, atk def +1, and physical and special dmg reduction

[blazing narwhal]

Ok u usually tank 1 sync ?

[simple storm]

yeah with a few def buffs

i could tank the sync from the 2nd parameter

i used ssacynthia tho

[latent flax]

Which pairs should I level

[blazing narwhal]

Cool i just gotta figure out a partner for ssr cynthia then i can start

[frank shuttle]

Can I get 10k with at all with my 120 or higher?

[zealous karma]

I want to cry

[random moth]

2k?

[zealous karma]

Yea

[random moth]

Then add another member

[zealous karma]

How was duo’ing easier with Allister then it is 3/5 Hal

A

[random moth]

I used EX Hala,Candice,EX SS blue

[zealous karma]

This game is cringe or hala sucks

[random moth]

If we had EX Getisis

Whatever his name is

[zealous karma]

Ghetsus

I need the gauntlet luck for this stage actual pain

[random moth]

Are you just trying it with 2 pairs?

[zealous karma]

Yes

I already did it for everyone else

Except Shauntal

Still super impressed allister could duo

It was a lot easier than using Gio as well 🦑

[random moth]

Noice

[zealous karma]

I need gauntlet luck plz Dena

98% of this is ice pain suffering

Uninstalling rn

[random moth]

Good job

[zealous karma]

Can SSBrock even dionclear rock week

J wish I had a 3.5 Olivia

Dies

I need Help for rock

(I refuse to off type)

[mellow linden]

I forget, does Olivia have Inertia at 2/5?

I guess you could try Fall Caitlin + Kukui for the meme

Oh wait, he doesn’t buff his own crit, does he

[zealous karma]

He doesn’t

Olivia has inertia at 2/5

But like Olivia just dies

[mellow linden]

Could maybe survive alongside Fall Caitlin with perma field effects?

And like, a lot of luck on MP Refreshes

If it’s only the clear then #1010274591601598555 is probably a bit better.

Congrats tho!

[zealous karma]

She’s also not doing damage lel

[mellow linden]

Well she won’t be doing the most damage with Stone Edge, yeah, but Sync damage should be a little nuts

Idk for sure though, I’ve got pretty much zero knowledge on 2v3ing Master Mode

[zealous karma]

I wish I had 3/5 Olivia so badly…

[nova fiber]

I'm trying to build a team for 2k grass weak grimmsley. what are some common grass sync nukers? my current plan is SS erika and lyra to enable a last grass unit. currently I am thinking brendan or selene, they are the only grass strikers I have 3/5 to build for sync

[zealous karma]

Lyra is good if Ex

But skyla is good too

Those units are extremely self sufficient

Brendan and Eirika I mean

[mellow linden]

SS Erika can be the main damage-dealer of a team, btw

[nova fiber]

yeah, SS erika has great output, but my SS erika is 1/5 so they can't build for sync damage.

[zealous karma]

SSEirika is good at any move level

At 3/5 she just becomes overkill

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Solar Blade is strong and her Sync is innately good anyways

[tired sleet]

Guess I do 10k next week

And sleep on8k this time

Rock weak

Is ass

[zealous karma]

No poison stallers?

[nova fiber]

I didn't realize their sync was good enough to use without grid buffs. good to know

[mellow linden]

Her Sync has an innate Sun modifier

Plus it innately always crits if you have +3 crit, unlike most

[nova fiber]

sync moves don't always crit at +3? I wasn't aware of that

[mellow linden]

Nope, Sync Moves (and iirc Max Moves as well?) have an innate -1 crit normally

So they treat +3 crit as only +2 crit

[nova fiber]

that's good to know. I wondered why the sync crit skill was recommended on deo-att builds

[mellow linden]

SS Erika is one of only a few (maybe even only 2) Sync Pairs whose Sync doesn’t have that negative crit modifier

Other pairs have Soften Up in grids to get around the issue

It’s also why you might see a lot of people use guaranteed crit effects right before Sync in clear videos

[nova fiber]

so who should I pair with ss erika? I planned to pair them with lyra so that they can start attacking faster

[mellow linden]

Lyra could be good, but you’ll need to have another Support to act as your tank

[nova fiber]

would a high level drake fit? or is their bulk too low

[fading arrow]

which ones' the hardest this week?

[tired sleet]

Leaf is gone

[mellow linden]

Drake might be alright, but I think someone like SS Blue or Skyla might be better. You can always try Drake and see if he works though

[tired sleet]

So ya

[mellow linden]

Depends on your roster

[mellow linden]

You could use Lucy or BP Erika instead

[tired sleet]

Nah I'm fine

8k is where imma dip

[mellow linden]

If you’re sure. This place will always be here to help out if you change your mind

[tired sleet]

Not with what I have left

Don't wanna reset

All the e4 took me half a hour each except flying weak to clear

Rather do next week where I have actual strikers on type

Not worth wasting hours on my life just to get last 2k

When I can do something else

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

[tired sleet]

The rewards do reset right

[mellow linden]

They reset every week, yeah

[golden stratus]

do i brute force the marshal and champ fight with ash and sst red in diff teams?

in CS MM 850 standard

[mellow linden]

You could if you struggle with on-typing them

[golden stratus]

im forced to off type both

dont have any good flying or rock dps

[mellow linden]

You have Blue + Pidgeot for Marshal, he should work just fine for 850

Heck, Winona could probably work against Marshal

[modern tartan]

10k is brutal compare to 7,5k T.T

[trail smelt]

You’ll get used to it as your roster and strength goes up

[nova fiber]

I know the team I'm running can win this 2k, it's frustratingly close, but my phone runs the game at a low frame rate so it's really difficult to pull off a quad queue.

[trail smelt]

What team what fight on which round?

[mellow linden]

What's the team?

[nova fiber]

the ss erika lyra dawn. I'm using dawn over drake now since they get the theme skill hp

vs. grimmsley round 1 for permanent sun

[trail smelt]

That team should be beating it easy, what parameters are you using?

[mellow linden]

Dawn's a great tank, yeah

[nova fiber]

recommended pre-sync from the pins

[mellow linden]

I'd recommend doing 2k post-Sync, and replace "No Stat Reductions" with "Max HP ^2"

Pre-Sync parameters are very demanding

[nova fiber]

I'll try that. thanks

[tired sleet]

Wait

Pre sync is the harder mode

I'm might try post sync then

Issue is my deoxys drop in 1 sync

And that's still a issue

[mellow linden]

Yeah, if you can’t survive Sync then pre-Sync may be better (though I’ve pre-Synced using post-Sync parameters on occasion, so YMMV)

[tired sleet]

Wait

So if my 140 deoxys drops in 1 sync

What parameters do I get

[grizzled nova]

Why does BP Candice do so little sync damage

i thought she had some good multipliers

[mellow linden]

Try pre-Sync and if your team can’t survive long enough to get the KO before Sync then try post-Sync, I guess?

[grizzled nova]

i didnt think Shauntal had high spdef

[tired sleet]

So far my experience is I can get 1 support sync+ deoxys sync

After that alder just wipes with hyperbeam

All 3 still standing

So I'm just wtf do I do

[mellow linden]

What’s the team?

[tired sleet]

Morty hooh and vespiqueen

And deoxys

[mellow linden]

No Bianca?

Should only need Bianca + a tank if you’re using Attack Forme Deoxys

Or Anniversary May instead of Bianca if you have her

[tired sleet]

Have neither

[mellow linden]

Oof

Could try double-striker comp with SS Morty + SS Steven + a Fire type, I guess?

[tired sleet]

I got a feeling the sun affected the heat wave

Lol

End up having to heal unnecessarily

[tired sleet]

Double ho Oh??

[mellow linden]

Could work if Silver has expanded grid

[tired sleet]

Ya

He is gridded

[mellow linden]

I specifically mean the extra tiles from the Johto VA events

[sharp totem]

question about CS, am i able to use my best team to clear 2k on a stage, do 0 points on the rest and reset?

[eternal lodge]

Yes

[sharp totem]

would that be the best way to cheese it

[eternal lodge]

There's no cheese, it'll always count as 2k total points

[tired sleet]

[sharp totem]

ripp

[tired sleet]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Are Steven and Silver going down to spread moves?

[tired sleet]

Sync

Both dropped to sync

[mellow linden]

Ah

[tired sleet]

I even changed to the bar up parameters

Still didn't work

[eternal lodge]

P sure you had meganium, switch Metagross with meganium and use first sync with it

[mellow linden]

What’s your roster? Since you lack a Psychic Terrain setter it might be best to try a different off-type (or depending on who you have maybe even on-type) strategy

[mellow linden]

They were using SS Steven, so Deoxys

[tired sleet]

I don't have one

[marsh vault]

Idk but my bp Candice is strongggggf

[eternal lodge]

Still, both hooh will appreciate meganium, and it does decent dmg on sync as a support

Well, that's not what I expected

[sharp totem]

should i try to 850 everything first then go on from there?

[mellow linden]

850 is generally recommended for someone who’s new to Master Mode, yeah

[eternal lodge]

Are you using deoxys speed?

[sharp totem]

aight

[tired sleet]

Atk

[eternal lodge]

Do you have any psychic terrain setter

[tired sleet]

Do I have to really use ttar

No

Well deoxys is a terrain setter

[eternal lodge]

May you show your units

[mellow linden]

Not necessarily, you could have a sneaky option somewhere

And Poison stall is always on the table if worst comes to worst

[tired sleet]

The remainder

Hold on might be dated

I will show later on I guess

[eternal lodge]

You can try latios, deoxys atk and rotom

[mellow linden]

Could try that, yeah

[tired sleet]

This is what I'm actually working with

My bad

Again correct me if I'm wrong but do I have a chance with on type

Literally a ungridded lycanroc and well brock

[eternal lodge]

as someone who mains ss brock, you wont be able to beat the stage without ex and heavy support

[tired sleet]

Monkas

So what option do I have

[eternal lodge]

lycanroc + rotom + alolan marowak i believe if you want ontype

[tired sleet]

Holy fuck what I'm doing

Imma yolo with hau

[golden stratus]

do you guys think i should just stop at 4.2k

i dont have any on type sync pairs for this cs

i mean thats not technically true

like i mean ones that are good enough to go higher

[grizzled nova]

with the right parameters Candice can handle shauntal

to go higher

you can always hit 4.2k then reset, and try again a bit higher

[minor solstice]

hello @sick inlet 🙏 would rly appreciate you guys' help on building teams for this next rotation of unova champion

[mellow linden]

This is finishing up the type medal, right?

[eternal lodge]

send units

[minor solstice]

hard mode of course, types to clear

psychic bug rock ghost dragon

[mellow linden]

2/5 of those can be handled by your damage-dealers for Alder (Rock) and Shauntal (Ghost), so we mainly need to focus on Psychic, Bug, and Dragon

[mellow linden]

You could off-type 2 stages with Ash and SST Red respectively

[minor solstice]

yes

[mellow linden]

And since those 2 are self-sufficient you can get 4 of your 5 types down with their teams and use Emmett for Alder, giving you near-total freedom for the other teams

[minor solstice]

hm ok

thinking mewtwo dps for caitlin, and a spatk buff and crit buff
sycamore groudon ss erika
marshall I only have blue as dps so i might bring ash
and shauntal i think hala and sst red

[mellow linden]

You could do Sabrina + Giovanni + Lucian for Shauntal using Giovanni’s Shadow Ball

Sorry, that team for Caitlin

I got my weaknesses mixed up for a sec

That would also open up 1 slot on Ash or SST Red’s team since those 3 are all Psychic

SS Erika + SS Morty + Lyra is an obvious Grimsley comp

I’m not certain what Emmett buffs himself, so Emmett + Hop + Bertha for Alder

And then you can put Drake, Viola, and BP Morty (or Phoebe if you don’t have him) between the Ash and SST Red teams

And off-type Marshal and Shauntal

I’d recommend putting 2 of those 3 with SST Red and using either Volkner or Classic Elesa with Ash so you can set up Electric Terrain for him

[wicked otter]

Guys i need help, i can beat e4 but i lack 1 more team to clear the Master CS

I use team 3-6 the order is the same for the e4 that i beat

Grimsly 3
Marshal 4
Shauntai 5
Caitilin 6

But im lacking anothee team to beat the master

Is there anyone that i can use? Sorry for the long chat

Btw i tried mewtwo and may aniv, feels lacking with the ghost ball i can do nothing

[obtuse hound]

i have enough powerups to ex two pairs currently. who should i ex?

[mellow linden]

The point of using Giovanni + A. May is to off-type because of Psychic Terrain

[mellow linden]

Weird place to ask that, but assuming you don’t have a favorite waiting on EX go for a Support you use a lot

[wicked otter]

Hmm which one shoul i beat with those?
