I'm afraid that Lyra/SSErika/ZinniaMRayEx won't be able to do 2k next week.

silver dirge
#

They should be just fine assuming 3/5

swift swan
#

Unova isn't that hard, Zinnia should do fine

next solar
#

His sync move is one shotting ho oh

tribal agate
#

wait sorry i didn't follow, you don't have any other grass pairs?

next solar
#

I have sceptile

tribal agate
#

only Sceptile? Is it at least 3/5 & gridded?

next solar
#

No no

#

I'm new

#

3rd day

tribal agate
#

hmm

#

fair enough yes

next solar
#

They said this team would do fine

tribal agate
#

what round is that? (at the bottom of the opponent selection)

full mesa
tribal agate
#

i think i know why it's failing

full mesa
swift swan
next solar
tribal agate
#

well first off i need to know your Round but also

#

notice this

swift swan
#

Grimsley is your last opponent, yes?

tribal agate
swift swan
tribal agate
#

the enemy sync'd, and this indicates you just sync'd yourself

#

meaning you lost A LOT OF TURNS

#

in champion stadium, team building is 50% of the work the other 50% is gameplay

#

by the time the enemy has sync'd, you should have already your second sync cd at 1 or have sync'd twice yourself

#

to do that, you must triple queue properly, which means always have 3 moves queue'd in between each enemy move, never let your pairs be idle

#

i should probably pin this somewhere RosaThink

next solar
full mesa
tribal agate
# next solar I dont know which moves to queue after the sp.atk and other stat boosting moves

your Rosa still has 2 uses of her Trainer Move and 1 on Blaine
it doesn't matter which moves you queue as long as they're queue'd, adapt depending on the gauge, just do not use Giga Drain with Rosa since it's high in cost
it's just important that at all times, you have 3 moves queue'd, all the time until sync goes to 0 at which point you wait for it and click the sync

next solar
next solar
#

I'll try again wait

tribal agate
#

ok look i'll go record a video, it might help

next solar
#

Okay ty

tribal agate
#

is your Rosa EX yet btw?

#

from the free bingo

next solar
#

No no

#

I queued every time but it still can't beat it

tribal agate
#

hm yeah i'm doing it right now for the queueing example but frankly if you don't have EX Rosa nor gridded Silver

#

i don't think it'll go far

#

i'll still upload just in case, but my team has a level difference and the EX rosa and Silver so numbers will differ obviously, it's just about proper play showcase

#

Grimsley queues his first move extremely quickly also so it's a bit annoying for new players

#

now i can't guarantee it'll work for you because of the differences which i can't help but worth a shot, even tho i think your team can't clear it without Rosa EX
just carefully watch the turn order on the right side and what i did on Rosa's sync as well

next solar
#

Yeah it almost the same but your ho oh does 3k damage mine does 1.5k

tribal agate
#

yeah AcerolaPensive didn't remove the SEUP tile cause i was lazy but even disregarding that, it's mostly the 2x sync buff from Rosa EX

next solar
#

I see

#

Ty anyway

tribal agate
#

3 days is extremely early to tackle CS btw so don't feel too bad

#

most people start it after weeks

#

it needs a developed and varied roster

next solar
#

Okay I'll try leveling up other teams aswell and might get some other new pokemons too

tribal agate
next solar
#

I'm around 200 pity in aura Cynthia should I continue it or I wait for another banner?

#

I do have one aura Cynthia tho

tribal agate
#

depends on your gem count

#

then no don't push it, one is enough for now
pity is 36.6k, make sure you secure those for the next best thing

next solar
#

Okay

swift swan
sick inlet
undone ether
#

Any chance I'd be able to beat 15 out of 18?

tribal agate
#

You technically don't need 15 out of 18 immediately, you can split it if necessary
however, your roster is more than fine and it's Unova which is pretty average anyway so yes

tribal agate
#

i mean yeah that looks good, i'm not sure what the issue is lol

undone ether
#

yeah he asked like a few hours ago that it was very hard for him...

#

i'm asking him for his teams

tribal agate
#

he? i thought you said i

#

oh

undone ether
#

newbie so yeah

#

.-.;

timber coral
#

Well

#

I been playing this game since it's initial release

undone ether
#

please your 5 teams that you used (were used)

toxic cobalt
timber coral
#

Ok

tribal agate
#

Drake for Dragon if no other gacha one

#

lemme check

#

SS Brendan

undone ether
#

ooof 11/18

#

hmm

timber coral
#

It's a previous results

undone ether
#

this one was last week?

#

or this week? o-o?

timber coral
#

And it happened 11/26/2021

undone ether
#

ooof

#

alright let me check weakness for the stadium

timber coral
#

Ok

undone ether
#

@timber coral think you can buy Crobat/Janine?

timber coral
#

No

undone ether
#

oh you cleared ghost already

#

what was the team did you use?

timber coral
#

Well

#

Idk

undone ether
#

uh just go into a battle prep, you can check which sync pairs you used, at the very bottom.

timber coral
#

Ummm

#

I don't use that

undone ether
#

use it so that you can change your teams like this.

#

so that anytime you get a new champion stadium, you can plan your builds xD

#

for now

#

i need to know which sync pairs you used

timber coral
undone ether
#

but yeah

#

i need to know your sync pairs 😄

timber coral
#

Is tier list not enough

#

I made stats for all pairs i have same as in game

undone ether
#

yeah but

#

you used a team

#

i need to know the team you used

#

otherwise i can't build you a team for clearing the rest of your unova badge

timber coral
#

Well

#

I haven't used preset teams

#

So it's hard to tell

undone ether
#

hmm

#

okay go into Grimsley's Node

#

go into party screen from there

#

and scroll all the way at the bottom

#

then screenshot that 😄

timber coral
#

Ummm

#

I don't see anything

undone ether
#

see this screen?

#

from here anyways

#

just click into Grimsley

#

then click on any of your sync pair

#

it should look like this

#

scroll to the very bottom, no filters.

#

i wait.

#

tbh i have a feeling that

timber coral
#

Ummm

#

Still don't get

undone ether
#

.

#

Grass Weak - SS Erika, SS Morty, SS Brendan [Dragon]
Flying Weak - Pidgeot/Blue, Eevee [Normal], Sabrina [Psychic]
Ice Weak - Ghetsis, Hilbert [Water], Looker [Poison]
Ghost Weak - [Cleared by Water, Psychic, Rock]
Rock Weak - Probopass [Rock], Hippowdon [Ground], Olivia [Rock]

Types
WaterX, NormalX, Poison, GroundX, Psychic, RockX, Dragon
PoisonX, PsychicX, Dragon

#

use this team then

#

lol

timber coral
#

I thought data from previous Battles doesn't save

undone ether
#

Probopass better have Sandshelter from their Sync Grid.

#

Grass Weak is SS Mort, SS Erika, and SS Brendan

timber coral
#

....

undone ether
#

tbh, you could change SS Erika, SS Morty, that Team Skull girl with a salazale or w/e its name was

#

SS Morty as your tank,

#

for Flying, make sure to Sync Move with Eevee first

#

and have Pidgeot on the last.

#

otherwise, you could use Mewtwo then

timber coral
#

...

undone ether
#

that's for Flying Weak since Mewtwo can offtype anyways.

timber coral
#

No

#

He's not

undone ether
#

he's not what?

timber coral
#

Mewtwo is not perfect for most of Battles

#

Because you may die instantly

undone ether
#

he's EX though

timber coral
#

Well

undone ether
#

and works well with SS Brendan.

#

assuming SS Brendan is your main tank

timber coral
#

Even when i made him ex he still deals damage like crap

timber coral
#

Because i don't use any team for now

undone ether
#

alright let's do this one by one

#

Grass Weak Stage is Grimsley yes?

timber coral
#

Yes

#

But it makes no sense

undone ether
#

what makes no sense?

timber coral
#

Dark isn't weak against grass

undone ether
#

dark?

mellow linden
#

But Sharpedo is weak against Grass

timber coral
#

Ok

undone ether
#

yeah

#

lol

#

So Solar Blade spamming SS Erika will be your ticket.

timber coral
#

...

#

I don't have her

undone ether
#

are you SURE?

timber coral
#

I thought she's not

undone ether
#

Leafeon, 2/5

#

then SS Morty as your main tank.

#

would've been really nice if he had 2/5

#

ah wells this is fine.

timber coral
#

Morty has nothing to do with it

#

Besides if any opponent has dark type move

#

He's dead

undone ether
#

SS Morty will set up sun.

#

and he will speed up your entire team.

timber coral
#

Sun won't help

mellow linden
#

SS Morty, the one with Ho-Oh, is not weak to Dark

timber coral
undone ether
#

This one.

timber coral
#

Oh that

undone ether
#

.-.

mellow linden
#

The Morty that has Ho-Oh will, in fact, speed up gauge for the team

timber coral
#

Well he's dead now

late halo
#

SS means Sygna Suit. It’s an important distinction

timber coral
late halo
#

They don’t but okay

mellow linden
#

SS Morty is busted, but that's a topic for another time

timber coral
#

Yes

#

He's busted

#

Because what terrible ss he is

mellow linden
#

"Busted" meaning really good the way I used it, but anyways

undone ether
#

?_?

late halo
#

Hmm. Starting to think I shouldn’t have stepped in here

timber coral
#

Besides most of my grass pairs don't have power up after sunny day

mellow linden
#

SS Erika does, and she's the one you're using for damage output here

timber coral
#

She's support

#

And supports don't deal damage

mellow linden
#

She's Tech, and she deals a lot of damage

timber coral
#

In reality

#

No

late halo
#

I

mellow linden
#

I'm talking about the Erika with Leafeon here

undone ether
#

wait a bit

#

let me give you a pic

#

no video

timber coral
#

Besides the game cheats by using stupid rules

undone ether
#

imma give you video

toxic cobalt
#

This a specific forum for help on the Champion Stadium battles. General speculation about the quality of the game and specific unit choices should be kept to #poma-lounge please.

mellow linden
#

The AI's only "cheating" is that all their Syncs are AoE

timber coral
#

Yes

#

And because AI is broken

#

Same as in pokemon red and green

mellow linden
#

The AI is not intelligent in this game, it's very exploitable

timber coral
#

Not for me

#

Whatever i do i end up dying

mellow linden
#

That's what we're trying to help you with, it would be appreciated if you'd try out our suggestions instead of dismissing them

timber coral
#

Well i could

#

But it's just too confusing to understand

undone ether
#

Try using tactics button

timber coral
#

I never use it

#

Because it didn't seem to do anything

undone ether
#

use it 😉

timber coral
#

Ok

mellow linden
timber coral
#

Well

#

It doesn't matter one will always die

undone ether
#

it determines which sync pairs gets targetted for attacks first.

mellow linden
#

Not with the right team setup, but we'll come back to that later

timber coral
#

Ok

mellow linden
#

So, just to confirm, you've already used SS Morty (the one with Ho-Oh) in a Champion Stadium battle this week?

timber coral
#

Besides what plumeria has to do with this

late halo
#

You need to use a poison type, yes?

mellow linden
#

Fills out a type for type medal

undone ether
#

yep

timber coral
#

Umm

undone ether
#

@timber coral i mean, you dont have Janine/Crobat (Support)

#

you need Poison Type to clear your champion stadium unova badge

#

i mean, either Plumeria or Koga/Crobat since he speeds up the team.

timber coral
#

Ok

undone ether
#

Looker also works mostly because Grimsley drops Sp. ATK

timber coral
#

But plumeria will die sooner

late halo
#

No one will die if you handle your team right

timber coral
mellow linden
#

SS Morty would be taking the hits, Plumeria shouldn't have a chance to get hit by anything more than 1 or 2 AoEs

undone ether
#

try this 😄

mellow linden
late halo
timber coral
#

I taking advice

#

But it doesn't work

#

For me

#

Most of the time

undone ether
#

use Tactics to set your order of Sync Pairs that's going to die first 😄

timber coral
#

Well

#

That's the problem

#

I cannot decide

undone ether
#

decide what? o-o

timber coral
#

Who should die first

mellow linden
#

SS Morty (the one with Ho-Oh) should be the one targeted 1st

undone ether
#

then SS Morty

#

he's a tank

#

he has potion

#

and if the Sun is up, anytime he moves, he heals himself + the team.

timber coral
#

Potion won't help most of the time

mellow linden
#

He's a very bulky Support. In 90% of situations, a Support should be the opponents' 1st target

undone ether
#

i mean

timber coral
#

Because not only it doesn't restore all hp

undone ether
#

unless SS Morty is level 20 or something.

mellow linden
#

It doesn't need to heal to full

undone ether
#

😦

timber coral
#

I may receive mortal damage

#

And no potion will help

undone ether
#

anyways

#

try it

timber coral
#

Ok

undone ether
#

we'll do another team build on your next elite four challenge

late halo
#

This is what I mean by not taking advice lol

timber coral
#

But the chance that i lose is always 100%

undone ether
#

also

mellow linden
#

If you lose the fight, come back and we'll figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from doing so on the next attempt

undone ether
#

do check my youtube link on your move orders 😄

timber coral
#

As i thought

#

Erika doesn't do any damage

mellow linden
#

Did you use her Trainer Move?

timber coral
#

Yes

undone ether
#

Erika needs sun. you also need to pop her Trainer Move.

timber coral
#

And nothing

undone ether
#

i mean

#

did you see my video at all?

mellow linden
#

So you used her Trainer Move twice, and used Solar Blade under Sun?

undone ether
#

she didn't do much damage at first

mellow linden
#

And this is the Erika with Leafeon you're using?

timber coral
#

Oh great

#

Plumeria is almost dead

toxic cobalt
#

Did you watch the video?

undone ether
#

wut

#

i mean sure, my sync pairs are at level 140

#

125 is enough and snarls wont do a lot of damage to you.

mellow linden
timber coral
#

Ummm

#

Ok

mellow linden
#

Unless your team is ridiculously underbuilt

timber coral
#

But it won't make anything easier

#

Because im almost dead anyway

mellow linden
#

Understanding how the team works will make it easier

undone ether
#

tbh

#

for a player from year ago, not investing in sync grids will be hard.

#

😭

timber coral
mellow linden
#

If you'd stop going into fights assuming you'll fail that would probably also help

timber coral
#

No

#

As i said

#

Im almost dead

mellow linden
#

Then exit the fight and we can figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from doing so on the next attempt

timber coral
#

Or just quit champion stadium altogether

undone ether
#

actually

timber coral
#

Because it's impossible ossible

undone ether
#

can we see your Sync Grid 😮

#

and Lucky Skill for SS Morty, SS Erika?

timber coral
#

Because it's unavailable now for me

undone ether
#

(Plumeria doesnt really madder too much, just a body for )

#

unavailable?

mellow linden
#

Sync Grids are available for everyone

undone ether
#

^ this

timber coral
#

Lack of resources makes it unusable

undone ether
#

uh

mellow linden
#

We can focus on some important tiles for less resource cost

undone ether
#

Use Ash, go get level up manuals.

timber coral
full mesa
#

CSMM isn't impossible. Unless you're a new player and we talk about Sinnoh... The Horror...

undone ether
#

Go into Co-op event

timber coral
#

I just only can lose

undone ether
#

its not CSMM fam

#

@timber coral alright, somehow i feel like your sync pairs are not levelled up to 100 at all

timber coral
#

No

#

They are

#

Even beyond

undone ether
#

125?

timber coral
#

Erika is 135

undone ether
#

are you doing your Daily Sync Orb Area?

timber coral
#

No

mellow linden
#

WHY

timber coral
#

Because 900 isn't enough

late halo
#

Omg

mellow linden
#

Not immediately, but that adds up over time

#

You can't focus only on short-term like that or you lose a lot long-term

timber coral
#

I just stopped using sync orb area altogether

mellow linden
#

Well that's a huge mistake

undone ether
#

u gotta play them 😮

timber coral
#

Because it only waste my time

late halo
#

It’s an auto complete, you have to do that stage daily

timber coral
#

Nd doesn't give any rewards

late halo
#

It takes 10 seconds

mellow linden
#

It's far from a waste of time

undone ether
#

Yeah, you can complete it, 10 times.

#

with 1 click.

timber coral
#

It doesn't matter even if i use skip tickets

undone ether
#

wut why

#

you should have like 1000+ skip tickets

mellow linden
#

It gives 900 Sync Orbs as rewards, that adds up over time

timber coral
mellow linden
#

900 sync orbs a day, how much is that over 10 days?

undone ether
#

well yeah

#

its daily

timber coral
undone ether
#

then slowly build your sync grids 😮

mellow linden
#

10 days of 900 a day means you've fully gridded a Sync Pair with some orbs left over

undone ether
#

^this

timber coral
mellow linden
#

Stop focusing on immediate gains

late halo
#

That doesn’t make sense

mellow linden
#

If you only focus on the short term then you lose out in the long term

timber coral
undone ether
#

i've been trying to help you the entire day fam. 😭

timber coral
#

But it seems my game is busted

undone ether
#

busted how? 😮

mellow linden
#

It's not your game

undone ether
#

i mean

timber coral
#

Because I can't do anything normally

undone ether
#

you still have your sync pairs (Suports) at least to 5star for most of them.

late halo
#

You’re not setting yourself up for success in this game. It’s not a grind fest, it’s a slow burn

timber coral
undone ether
#

well yeah lol

#

but they're piss easy

#

you already have EX Striekrs

mellow linden
#

It's not a massive grind fest, it's a tiny grind each day

late halo
#

So then do what grind you can instead of ignoring it because it’s not giving immediate gratification

timber coral
#

...

undone ether
#

bruh

late halo
#

Hell, I’m at capacity for sync orbs and I do that course every day

mellow linden
#

If you ignore something because the immediate resource gain isn't a lot, then you're not gonna get anywhere

undone ether
#

i played this game farming for Co-op Sync Orbs at 10%

timber coral
#

10% is death

mellow linden
#

?

undone ether
#

and it only gave you 5 Co-op Sync Orb.

#

and i farmed that for weeks

#

but anyways

#

play the game for a while

#

play your dailies

timber coral
undone ether
#

cuz honestly, you wont be able to clear Champion Stadium even with level 140 pokemon

#

at least have EX imo

timber coral
#

Well i cannot grid normally because of stupid energy limit

late halo
#

Now I want to try good but gridless units in CS

mellow linden
#

You have more than enough energy to get a good grid

undone ether
#

^^ this

timber coral
late halo
#

Don’t think there’s any game that allows you to completely fill a skill tree

timber coral
#

Because i only have useless cookies

mellow linden
#

I sincerely doubt that

timber coral
late halo
#

You can get crit 2 from normal cookies

#

And Vigilance

timber coral
#

mellow linden
#

For Hard Mode Lucky Skills aren't super important anyways, but you should have a ton of good cookies from Blissful Bonanza events over the months

undone ether
#

iCookieCrunchy for Critical Strike 2 or Defense Crush 2

timber coral
#

But they not if you only get lucky skills what are trash

undone ether
#

yeah most of lucky skills are trash xd

#

anyways

#

please please PLEASE

late halo
#

Admittedly I do hate the lucky skill system

mellow linden
#

RNG is like that sometimes

undone ether
#

farm your Sync Orbs :o!

timber coral

Because there's nothing else i can do besides obtaining them

mellow linden

Do regular events

yeah Do regular events 😮

You are at a crossroads in your Pokemon Masters journey.

You can either trust us, players who have succeeded at far more than you have - many of us with worse rosters. Admit that you simply need to learn more about the game, and start down the road to success.

Or you can choose to ignore everyone who's trying to help you and continue to exist in a prison of failure built by your own hand.

The choice is yours.

I guess i was being lied

Oh for sure, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be completed, I just wasn’t prepared for that fight at the time

Here's a team that should chew through most events: Volkner + Ash + Skyla or Misty. We'll choose Skyla here for the example.

In the tactics menu, set Skyla as the opponents' 1st target, Volkner as the 2nd, and Ash as the 3rd.

In battle, for your team's 1st set of actions Skyla will use her Trainer Move, "Take Flight!", Ash will use his Trainer Move, "Going All Out!", and Volkner will use Electric Terrain.

For the 2nd set of actions, Skyla will use "Take Flight!" a 2nd time, Ash will use Thunder, and Volkner will use his Trainer Move, "Make Some Sparks!"

For the 3rd set of actions, Skyla will use Gust (or Potion if the team needs healing), Ash will use Thunder, and Volkner will use Thunder Fang.

At this point your Sync Move will be available. If Skyla is EX she should use it, if not Ash should use it.

Then, you can do 3 rounds of your team using Thunder Fang/Thunder/Gust, using Electric Terrain to reset the terrain and Potion to heal the team as needed, and Sync with Ash each time Sync comes up from this point onwards.

With the exception of Regional Rotation, Extreme Battles, and content that requires or highly encourages multiple teams (Battle Villa, Champion Stadium, Legendary Arena, and Legendary Gauntlet), that team will be able to chew through everything pretty easily. Skyla and Volkner may go down sometimes, but Ash will be able to destroy the stage before he can go down

@timber coral just in case a ping is needed

timber coral

Ok

But ash not as powerful as you think

#

Don't judge book by its cover

late halo
#

Stop that

mellow linden
#

If you need to quickly nuke the center, use Ash's Buddy Move with a full Move Gauge

timber coral
#

Ok

#

But remember

mellow linden
#

And stop assuming it'll fail before you even try

timber coral
#

All pairs in champion stadium can be used once

#

And only once

mellow linden
#

That's why the team I suggested is for easier events

#

We're starting from the bottom and working our way up

timber coral
#

Ok

#

But f2p isn't option for me

mellow linden
#

Try the Threads of Strength event's Battle Challenge with the team I suggested

timber coral
#

Ummm

#

It's impossible without Cynthia

#

Bro

#

There are multiple clears without Cynthia

mellow linden
#

Or the Ash event's Battle Challenge

timber coral
#

Well i gave up on that

timber coral
#

Besides

#

Last battles are unplayable

mellow linden
#

Try the team on the Battle Challenge from the Blazing Battle with Ash event, then

timber coral
#

I already did that

#

So it doesn't matter

mellow linden
#

You cleared it?

timber coral
#

No

mellow linden
#

Then try it

timber coral
#

I only have battle challenge

#

Which is definitely will be harder

What harm will come from trying it

timber coral
#

Taking mortal damage

#

Cobalt laid out an excellent roadmap

From sync move

You're not gonna get better without trying

mellow linden
#

If you don't even try due to fear of failure, then there's nothing more I can do

late halo
#

That’s not harm. If you don’t succeed in the fight, you can immediately try again

timber coral
#

Well it's not option for me

#

I always better give up if it's impossible

late halo
#

Then... don’t do that

Besides

Too easy the Unova CS is

Goddamn, definitely for 10k

Been begging for some solid electric units since Sinnoh CS. Glad they delivered

Red can probably solo any Unova stage

then she'll take longer to generate gauge EthanGenius

so just debuff her speed even more CynthiaSmug

did you know that for Alder this week, if Alder uses Hyper Beam turn 1, you can actually queue 4 moves before he takes an action

#

because his gauge is still generating

late halo

I don’t think I’d ever seen him use HB turn 1 until this week actually! I was spooked

He did when I was doing a challenge run

# clever bronze

Oooh then 1st grim works for you, permanent fields.
Caitlyn team also works 2nd round, early nukes from Cynthia is nice (or Lillie in zone with SEup if you want rejuvenate) you got skyla though, so probably not needed.

The other two also look okay in my opinion

sick inlet
#

The other 2 I will figure out on monday

clever bronze
#

in round 2

mellow linden
#

Is A. Lillie EX?

clever bronze
#

no

#

she could be

#

I don't have an ex ghost attacker

mellow linden
#

Probably SSR Cynthia then, though I’ll need to check A. Lillie’s Sync to be sure, so gimme a sec

sick inlet
#

Cynthia has better Nuke in Zone

#

Well should be better in general given she's a Tech unit

clever bronze
#

which ex would be a bigger carry in csmm? ssrc or a. lillie

#

I'm out of tech candies

mellow linden
#

What, you mean as a general damage-dealer?

clever bronze
#

yeah

sick inlet
clever bronze
#

which sync is more beneficial

sick inlet
#

With EX

#

That is.

mellow linden
#

Sync Move or Sync Pair?

clever bronze
#

sync move

#

or I can support ex first

sick inlet
#

In all cases support EX better

mellow linden
#

Support EX is higher priority unless you already have a ton of those

sick inlet
#

Unless you need to nuke really quickly

mellow linden
#

And even then it might be better

clever bronze
#

I exed sc diantha and sc jasmine

#

have 40 tickets left

mellow linden
#

Yeah, probably better to do Support EXs if those are your only 2 rn

#

Also, Rosa’s EX is free, so worth getting it

sick inlet
#

40 tickets? This iGoldPowerUp or iPowerUpTicket ?

clever bronze
#

40 5* powerups

#

I'm out of customs

sick inlet
mellow linden
#

Oh. You can probably pick your favorite between the 2 Ghost types then

#

Since both EXs would be good

#

A. Lillie is probably slightly better because of AoE though, if that matters to you

sick inlet
#

I would pick A lillie though, for CSMM. As striker EX wipes sides.

clever bronze
#

yeah I was considering lillie just now

sick inlet
#

I have both EXed hehe

clever bronze
#

Also how do I time the shadow force after support ex?

#

like support ex then shadow force attacks

sick inlet
#

Shadow attack sync -it will attack right after

#

But it will count as 1 move

mellow linden
#

Probably best to wait for Shadow Force until center goes down since it screws up Sync countdown and would help deal with the sides’ AoE?

sick inlet
#

Will be harder to triple queue

clever bronze
#

what will ssrc do then?

mellow linden
#

Shadow Ball

clever bronze
mellow linden
#

It’s a fairly hefty amount of damage in its own right

#

Plus due to her passives you’ll lower Defense/Sp. Def.

clever bronze
#

Should I use ghetsis to ontype shauntal or offtype with sstred?

mellow linden
#

Your choice, tbh

clever bronze
#

if ontype then r3 using ghetsis for sure

#

which would be easiermore fun

mellow linden
#

More fun is up to you

sick inlet
#

A longer battle, yes ofc

sick inlet
#

For real

clever bronze
#

worth the pity

sick inlet
#

Could say so

full mesa
#

Definitely

#

Even at 1/5 with below average supports he can off-type easily.

#

My elec weak next week team is Pikachu/Ash/SSTRedEx.

elder talon
#

Alright now that Grimsley 2k is down, I'm trying Shauntal on round 2. I'm using Skyla Candice Ghetsis. All three fully gridded and lv 125, but she always kills me on first sync. Any tips?

#

Candice is 4* but I can get her to 5* if necessary

dark osprey
#

Hopefully Candice is gridded for sure crit & super preparation. Ideally Candice should be able to clear the centre with 2 sync

toxic cobalt
#

4* fine

elder talon
#

She's gridded for Inertia and Heavy Hail

#

It's the super preparation sync grid from the google drive

#

Should I drop Inertia?

#

Yeah when Shauntal syncs she reduces everyone to about 10%, then they all get picked off one by one

toxic cobalt
#

Go full health parameters

#

And don’t use Candice hail crit on the first sync, but second and third

elder talon
#

I can barely get to second sync, definitely not third. I'm currently trying to do Caitlin r2 because I think r4 Shauntal will be easier

toxic cobalt
#

Yes, go full HP

elder talon
#

Yeah I will. I might also go with Celesteela since it gives +6 SpDef

elder talon
#

Alright, Marshal is now the new problem lmao

#

I honestly thought Pelipper would be stronger vs him

lunar meadow
#

Hard Mode?

elder talon
#

MM

#

I'm trying Winona SSBlue Zinnia Rayquaza. I almost won, but the Machoke ko'd me with EQ. I just realised I wasn't gridded for AA/Eagle Eye lol

#

Okay yeah once I gridded into Eagle Eye the fight was easy

sick inlet
mellow linden
#

I’m slightly miffed that they constructed next week’s type weaknesses the way they did, because it means if I want to try out Clair next week I’ll have to change up my Water team plans since I can’t use SS Kris twice

#

Guess I can just do an Archie team for Shauntal

#

In exchange I get to (hopefully) use all 3 Elesas, so it’s not all bad

#

Actually, hmmm…

#

Might try Teapot Lillie + SS Cynthia + Classic Elesa against Iris this week and see what happens

#

Possibly a stupid idea, but I’ll have SS Serena as a backup

#

Basic testing shows that comp to be extremely messy, so nevermind

toxic cobalt
#

Why do you need Kris for Clair?

mellow linden
#

I don’t need her, but SS Kris is a great Clair support. Gives Rain and Sp. Atk./crit buffs

#

I can always use SS Serena anyways, so not like I’d have trouble clearing, I just would’ve liked to see if I could do a wacky clear

#

No big deal in the end

#

Just wish they’d swapped the weaknesses around slightly

dense crow
#

Im missing these types for hall of fame. Team suggestions would be appreciated.

These are my top tier units that i got. Not shown are both sygna red and shaymin rosa.

Just been syncing a few units as I go, thankfully I did sync swanna (2/5) so at least she's good to go

plucky pewter
#

Yeah I need another candy for that

keen jasper
#

3 and 4* candies are abundant

mellow linden
#

Might have used their available ones though. No big deal, Skyla’s still great even without full grid

keen jasper
#

I mean, she has flinch hax at 3/5

mellow linden
#

Tbh I don’t even use her flinch tiles

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

They’re great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re definitely not vital

keen jasper
#

I just grid her for MP refresh on her TM and Potion

plucky pewter
#

When I get another 3* candy it's going into skyla

mellow linden

Definitely a great option

man I think shooting for 10k on my first hard champion stadium was overestimating myself. now I'm desperately trying to stall out 2k alder with an underleveled team after burning up all my unit upgrade items

#

not having great luck with that, either

#

what are some good free units to pair with SS leaf to wall alder? I've been using cheryl+viola since alder only uses special moves, but once alder goes down I've burnt all my defenses and die to the side units.

keen jasper
#

SS Leaf + Janine?

nova fiber
#

janine might do better than viola

keen jasper
#

I mean Janine lowers both offensive stats and speed

#

To anyone who's poisoned

nova fiber
#

it's not AoE though, and my issue right now is dying to the side units once alder's been stalled out

nova fiber
#

oh, for real? that's great

keen jasper

SS Leaf is very effective for Venom Drench

#

Since she can poison all of them at once

nova fiber
#

I see

that's very handy information. thanks

any suggestions to team up for alder?

having everyone at -6 atk/speed would make it way easier to tank with gradual healing after alder is down

the story thing

#

legendary arc

keen jasper
#

Yes that

manic mica
#

i can make them 5/5

#

ill do it when i need them

#

i finished legendary arc

mellow linden
#

So, 1st off Ash and SST Red can each handle 1 stage on their own, so it’s a good idea to save them for if you get stuck.

Hard Mode’s teambuilding requirement is far more relaxed than Master Mode, so if you build a team around (nor particular order, try to get 9-12 different types in total across your teams):

  • SS Erika + Leafeon for Grimsley

  • Blue + Pidgeot or Zinnia + Rayquaza for Marshal

  • Ghetsis or Candice for Shauntal

  • Giovanni for Caitlin

  • Either Gladion or an off-type damage-dealer for Alder

You should be fine.

And yeah, get your Legendary Adventures Sync Pairs (Giovanni + Mewtwo, Silver + Ho-Oh, Zinnia + Rayquaza, Cyrus + Palkia, Ghetsis + Kyurem, Sycamore + Xerneas, and Hop + Zamazenta) to 5/5, use their powerups to max their potential, and ideally get them at least partially gridded

ashen viper
#

It's free

keen jasper
#

You definitely should and don't make the mistake of converting their 5 star upgrade tickets into all upgrade tickets

mellow linden

You get 5/5 and max potential for free, there’s no reason to delay it
