#Champion Stadium
1 messages · Page 29 of 1
They should be just fine assuming 3/5
Unova isn't that hard, Zinnia should do fine
His sync move is one shotting ho oh
wait sorry i didn't follow, you don't have any other grass pairs?
I have sceptile
only Sceptile? Is it at least 3/5 & gridded?
They said this team would do fine
what round is that? (at the bottom of the opponent selection)
All of them are 3/5 with max grids.
i think i know why it's failing
My issue is Lyra surviving. ZinniaMRayEx can do ok.
Lyra might have a chance if next week is more special oriented
Why?
Grimsley is your last opponent, yes?
Ah, no triple queue
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 
I dont know which moves to queue after the sp.atk and other stat boosting moves
The Champion next week is physical. Lyra can boost both spa/spe and crit for ZinniaMRayEx.
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
I would've slapped this guy if I had my palkia :/
If i queue all the time I don't have enough move points
I'll try again wait
ok look i'll go record a video, it might help
Okay ty
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHNUEfly3ME this is for the queuing part (quality might take a few mins)
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
Yeah it almost the same but your ho oh does 3k damage mine does 1.5k
yeah
didn't remove the SEUP tile cause i was lazy but even disregarding that, it's mostly the 2x sync buff from Rosa EX
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
Okay I'll try leveling up other teams aswell and might get some other new pokemons too

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
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
Okay
Oof. I still think Lyra can stand a chance but you might need a few resets to avoid hard-hitting moves

Hi
I'm trying to complete Champion Stadium (to unlock Master Mode)
But my units look like this...
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/916852389347196958/1020155117741277205/image0.png?width=183&height=559
Any chance I'd be able to beat 15 out of 18?
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
i mean yeah that looks good, i'm not sure what the issue is lol
yeah he asked like a few hours ago that it was very hard for him...
i'm asking him for his teams
please your 5 teams that you used (were used)
You have Koga hapu Cyrus and leaf/Cheryl
Ok
It's a previous results
And it happened 11/26/2021
Ok
@timber coral think you can buy Crobat/Janine?
uh just go into a battle prep, you can check which sync pairs you used, at the very bottom.
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
Well as i said before i suck at planning
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
hmm
okay go into Grimsley's Node
go into party screen from there
and scroll all the way at the bottom
then screenshot that 😄
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
.
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
I thought data from previous Battles doesn't save
Probopass better have Sandshelter from their Sync Grid.
Grass Weak is SS Mort, SS Erika, and SS Brendan
....
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
...
that's for Flying Weak since Mewtwo can offtype anyways.
he's not what?
he's EX though
Well
Even when i made him ex he still deals damage like crap
He's not
Because i don't use any team for now
what makes no sense?
Dark isn't weak against grass
dark?
But Sharpedo is weak against Grass
Ok
I thought she's not
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.
Morty has nothing to do with it
Besides if any opponent has dark type move
He's dead
Sun won't help
SS Morty, the one with Ho-Oh, is not weak to Dark
I was told the same and that was a lie
Oh that
.-.
The Morty that has Ho-Oh will, in fact, speed up gauge for the team
Well he's dead now
SS means Sygna Suit. It’s an important distinction
Now developers make terrible SS
They don’t but okay
SS Morty is busted, but that's a topic for another time
"Busted" meaning really good the way I used it, but anyways
?_?
Hmm. Starting to think I shouldn’t have stepped in here
Besides most of my grass pairs don't have power up after sunny day
SS Erika does, and she's the one you're using for damage output here
She's Tech, and she deals a lot of damage
I
I'm talking about the Erika with Leafeon here
Besides the game cheats by using stupid rules
imma give you video
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.
The AI's only "cheating" is that all their Syncs are AoE
The AI is not intelligent in this game, it's very exploitable
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
use it 😉
Ok
It determines who the opponent targets 1st
it determines which sync pairs gets targetted for attacks first.
Not with the right team setup, but we'll come back to that later
Ok
So, just to confirm, you've already used SS Morty (the one with Ho-Oh) in a Champion Stadium battle this week?
Besides what plumeria has to do with this
You need to use a poison type, yes?
Fills out a type for type medal
yep
Umm
@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.
Ok
Looker also works mostly because Grimsley drops Sp. ATK
But plumeria will die sooner
No one will die if you handle your team right
Which i cannot do because game plays terrible
SS Morty would be taking the hits, Plumeria shouldn't have a chance to get hit by anything more than 1 or 2 AoEs
If you won't trust us then we simply cannot help you
Or because you’re not taking the advice you’re asking for
the rest of us do just fine
use Tactics to set your order of Sync Pairs that's going to die first 😄
decide what? o-o
Who should die first
SS Morty (the one with Ho-Oh) should be the one targeted 1st
then SS Morty
he's a tank
he has potion
and if the Sun is up, anytime he moves, he heals himself + the team.
Potion won't help most of the time
He's a very bulky Support. In 90% of situations, a Support should be the opponents' 1st target
i mean
Because not only it doesn't restore all hp
unless SS Morty is level 20 or something.
It doesn't need to heal to full
😦
Ok
we'll do another team build on your next elite four challenge
This is what I mean by not taking advice lol
But the chance that i lose is always 100%
also
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
do check my youtube link on your move orders 😄
Did you use her Trainer Move?
Yes
Erika needs sun. you also need to pop her Trainer Move.
And nothing
So you used her Trainer Move twice, and used Solar Blade under Sun?
she didn't do much damage at first
And this is the Erika with Leafeon you're using?
Did you watch the video?
wut
i mean sure, my sync pairs are at level 140
125 is enough and snarls wont do a lot of damage to you.
@timber coral watch that video, it shows the exact team recommended to you in action and the differences should be minimal
Unless your team is ridiculously underbuilt
Understanding how the team works will make it easier
Not for me
If you'd stop going into fights assuming you'll fail that would probably also help
Then exit the fight and we can figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from doing so on the next attempt
Or just quit champion stadium altogether
actually
Because it's impossible ossible
I don't talk about it
Because it's unavailable now for me
Sync Grids are available for everyone
^ this
Lack of resources makes it unusable
uh
We can focus on some important tiles for less resource cost
Use Ash, go get level up manuals.
Wtf
CSMM isn't impossible. Unless you're a new player and we talk about Sinnoh... The Horror...
Go into Co-op event
Im not
This isn’t even MM
I just only can lose
its not CSMM fam
@timber coral alright, somehow i feel like your sync pairs are not levelled up to 100 at all
125?
Erika is 135
are you doing your Daily Sync Orb Area?
No
WHY
Because 900 isn't enough
Omg
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
I just stopped using sync orb area altogether
Well that's a huge mistake
u gotta play them 😮
Because it only waste my time
It’s an auto complete, you have to do that stage daily
Nd doesn't give any rewards
It takes 10 seconds
It's far from a waste of time
It doesn't matter even if i use skip tickets
It gives 900 Sync Orbs as rewards, that adds up over time
In reality you get only 900
900 sync orbs a day, how much is that over 10 days?
Im sorry but with that amount I won't will be able to full the grid
then slowly build your sync grids 😮
10 days of 900 a day means you've fully gridded a Sync Pair with some orbs left over
^this
If i do that i get no results
Stop focusing on immediate gains
That doesn’t make sense
If you only focus on the short term then you lose out in the long term
But without them im dewd
i've been trying to help you the entire day fam. 😭
But it seems my game is busted
busted how? 😮
It's not your game
i mean
Because I can't do anything normally
you still have your sync pairs (Suports) at least to 5star for most of them.
You’re not setting yourself up for success in this game. It’s not a grind fest, it’s a slow burn
Ok but without grind you won't get anywhere
It's not a massive grind fest, it's a tiny grind each day
So then do what grind you can instead of ignoring it because it’s not giving immediate gratification
...
bruh
Hell, I’m at capacity for sync orbs and I do that course every day
If you ignore something because the immediate resource gain isn't a lot, then you're not gonna get anywhere
i played this game farming for Co-op Sync Orbs at 10%
10% is death
?
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
Erika isn't griddled
cuz honestly, you wont be able to clear Champion Stadium even with level 140 pokemon
at least have EX imo
Well i cannot grid normally because of stupid energy limit
Now I want to try good but gridless units in CS
You have more than enough energy to get a good grid
^^ this
And their lucky skills are useless
Don’t think there’s any game that allows you to completely fill a skill tree
Because i only have useless cookies
I sincerely doubt that
No it doesn't
If only i had cookies from legendary gauntlet.... But it's harder than legendary arena
...
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
for Critical Strike 2 or Defense Crush 2
I know
But they not if you only get lucky skills what are trash
Admittedly I do hate the lucky skill system
RNG is like that sometimes
farm your Sync Orbs :o!
Ok but then i just quit playing altogether
Because there's nothing else i can do besides obtaining them
Do regular events
yeah Do regular events 😮
I’m starting to question reality
kek same
Take Ash + Volkner + Skyla to the regular events and murder them with ease
I better give up on them becauseost of them are unplayable
they work 😮
Why do I smell a troll?
unless you get Earthquake 6 times or something
I always will get
Literally all tactics does is decides who gets targeted first
Because i always end up dead
Impossible before turn 9.
There's no luck
There was one Sydney stage where the Brutal Swings hit absurdly hard and I actually did lose my striker by like turn 5 lol
All my roasters are trash
💀
One stage in 25.
Even then we found f2p ways.
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
Fine...
I take your advice
But remember
It may not work 100%
No one was. Hoenn sucker punched us.
Let's start with the easiest content 1st and work our way slowly up then
that's the only hope 🙂
please learn how Tactics work, how important Sync Grids and Sync Orbs are, and all the things liek Daily gives you gems too!
And Sydney doesn’t even HAVE Sucker Punch!
I cannot
Then leave and come back tomorrow with a clear head.
No buts. You're frustrated. Nothing is going to work. Go, clear your head, set your priorities straight and then come back with an open-ish mind.
There is a handful of people willing to help you and you act like the torture you.
Everyone here has been giving up their time to try and help you
There was plenty of help you just didn't listen
Clear your head and come back. Like everybody does.
Unfortunate, take care now, good luck in life
There's no luck in my life
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
Stop that
If you need to quickly nuke the center, use Ash's Buddy Move with a full Move Gauge
And stop assuming it'll fail before you even try
That's why the team I suggested is for easier events
We're starting from the bottom and working our way up
Try the Threads of Strength event's Battle Challenge with the team I suggested
Bro
There are multiple clears without Cynthia
Or the Ash event's Battle Challenge
Well i gave up on that
Try the team on the Battle Challenge from the Blazing Battle with Ash event, then
You cleared it?
No
Then try it
What harm will come from trying it
Taking mortal damage
Cobalt laid out an excellent roadmap
From sync move
You're not gonna get better without trying
If you don't even try due to fear of failure, then there's nothing more I can do
That’s not harm. If you don’t succeed in the fight, you can immediately try again
Then... don’t do that
Besides
It's literally not impossible
Volkner isn't best pair
You're gonna fail sometimes, I've failed dozens of times. But failing even dozens of times doesn't mean it's impossible
@timber coral this thread is for help with Champion Stadium. If you need general help with playing the game, I'm going to ask you to shift to #1006350210450079784 and make a thread there.
Sorry Tai, it started off about CS
You're all good guys, don't worry
Apologies, it spiraled away from CS a bit
We are aware
Your advice was all really thoughtful 
sorry tai ;-;
you guys have done nothing wrong!!
he was in #poma-questions , then in #916852389347196958 then finally here
for an entire day
we were waiting
It's like a little tour of the help section 
And of course no need to go further off topic here please!
Yes, cooperation goes both ways, if people are not giving any effort, disengage
you're not entitled to help everyone
especially since you're doing this out of your own free will and time
What's going on here?
Nothing. How’s your CS run going this week
Well wait for a response in said post my friend
Finished my 10k run
Too easy the Unova CS is
for me its 10k done... but i might just go back to 7.5k
10k is just not my cup of tea
10k is fine for the easier CSMMs, but whew is it a slog for Hoenn and Sinnoh
i think Sinnoh was the worst for me, honestly
I found Sinnoh slightly harder than Hoenn, yeah
Steel-Bertha and Electric-Aaron 
Both are vicious
Electric-Aaron would probably going to be dead to Red/Ash now
lmao
Steel Bertha will likely be Solgaleo again
I’m excited to see how well just Red by himself does. Seems busted enough to get around that Sentry Entry no problem
especially now with Aura Cynthia
yeah I think after this anni we won't be struggling with electric-weak for a WHILE, lmfao
Been begging for some solid electric units since Sinnoh CS. Glad they delivered
Ash will tear through electric-weak stages even with Wise Entry
No Ash for me. Gonna wait for datamine to decide on that one
I still think Sinnoh is feared more because it was a shock upscale than our usual CS
Ill need 3/5 ash for next week
Hoenn was really difficult on the same level I'd say
just people were more used to Sinnoh by then
Except for bug next week should be quite simple
Caitlin literally the same as last week
Sounds like another SST Red solo 
Red can probably solo any Unova stage
I concur
I have to disagree. Hoenn is as bulky as Sinnoh or even more, and Hoenn definitely hits harder, but Sinnoh had way more x2 entries which severely limits people's options, especially f2ps and new players
and I think accessibility is what makes Sinnoh harder than Hoenn for me
can't wait for Kalos to roast us all
What about Galar?
Can't wait for Kalos to bring a difficult Kalos league experience unlike the mainline games
we'd need more galar pairs first before Galar laughs
booooo
Kalos is next since we already have like, 3 out of 4 elite 4
Didn’t we have 3 Hoenn E4 for a long time
Where's Drasna and Malva?
but never shown before
Kalos is most likely next, yeah
since I think they're bringing CS alongside Villain Arcs? for the regions that don't have them already, at least
man wouldn't it be funny if, when Unova VA comes, they revamp Unova CS
ooof
dont give ideas now
more than enough
oh wells guess i'll keep waiting
DeNA's gonna mass-release them the way they did with Sinnoh E4, of course 
Malva/Pyroar?
but what would Kalos CS gimmicks be 
Probably.
Drasna/Dragalge?
unless she gets ZardY
too hype
And what about the 3 Kalos rivals?
Diantha better be Poison Weak and Steel Weak, and Fire Weak
diantha better be difficult
I know the champion is usually the easiest battle in CS
but just for Kalos
that way i can use Team Skull Girl, Solgaleo and Red again.
I want them to make an exception
imma laugh if she has Hit the Gas 5
then she'll take longer to generate gauge 
Clemont for the save then
so just debuff her speed even more 
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
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
I was surprised I could queue 4 moves
and then a turn later, Hilbert got down to Endurance
fun times
Yeah he straight OHKO’d Ingo
Endurance 
I know its a nightmare but. Im i good for next csmm 10k or not (each color is for the corrseponding types) (bug is an offtype because beside of alder and lusamine i dont have any good bug striker)
Basically if you cant read whatever is this
I see it
Psychic : skyla ssteven and bianca
Bug : ss gio hop and bertha
Water : May normal gio and hilbert
Electric : ash volkner and red
Dragon : Zerena faitlin and bp morty
Also, why Hilbert is there if May is special?
Wait she is special ?💀
Yes
I guess a defensive buffer
Ok ok
Omfg I hate the champion....
Lemme guess, Hyper Beam and/or Heat Wave?
Hyper beam xD
Then I have Blue Hyper Beam that bastard back lol
I'm doing 1500 pre sync and I'm getting rocked haha
Pun intended?
Yes 
Well anyways, what's your team and what parameter did you choose?
I did the 1500 pre-sync Blue that emo punk rock guy and someone to cause sandstorm xD
Which Blue?
Aerodactyl
Ah ok
Bertha?
The Sandcastle Pokemon haha
But I think I'm gonna go SS blue for more Def and do someone else
Well, Alder does special while sides do physical
I think I'm gonna go Olivia
What's her sync level?
Olivia and Blue same team? I misread SSBlue as Classic Blue, don't mind me
3
I am not the one asking, my friend
You should be able to sync nuke
Nice
Tbh should you always do support sync first??
I always wondered that?
If they're EX-ed
Kk ss blue is
EX supports give double first Sync buff. That is better than even Mega evolving your SSred first.
Oh nice
@sick inlet what order should I battle the e4 in?
done my 2v3 teams for next week
I don't recall the rounds but I did
Grim
Caitlyn
Marshal
Shauntel
Next week looking 1v3 for me 👀
care to show teams
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
Well I don't have something planned specifically, but SS Lyra, SSTRed, SS Leaf are already there as guranteed win solos 
The other 2 I will figure out on monday
Should 1/5 ssrc or 1/5 lillie sync?
in round 2
Is A. Lillie EX?
Probably SSR Cynthia then, though I’ll need to check A. Lillie’s Sync to be sure, so gimme a sec
SSR if lillie not EX
Cynthia has better Nuke in Zone
Well should be better in general given she's a Tech unit

which ex would be a bigger carry in csmm? ssrc or a. lillie
I'm out of tech candies
What, you mean as a general damage-dealer?
yeah
a lillie in my opinion as she deleted sides.
which sync is more beneficial
Sync Move or Sync Pair?
In all cases support EX better
Support EX is higher priority unless you already have a ton of those
Unless you need to nuke really quickly
And even then it might be better
Yeah, probably better to do Support EXs if those are your only 2 rn
Also, Rosa’s EX is free, so worth getting it
40 tickets? This
or
?
That's a lot of relationships 
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
I would pick A lillie though, for CSMM. As striker EX wipes sides.
yeah I was considering lillie just now
I have both EXed hehe
Also how do I time the shadow force after support ex?
like support ex then shadow force attacks
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?
Will be harder to triple queue
what will ssrc do then?
Shadow Ball

It’s a fairly hefty amount of damage in its own right
Plus due to her passives you’ll lower Defense/Sp. Def.
Should I use ghetsis to ontype shauntal or offtype with sstred?
Your choice, tbh
More fun is up to you
A longer battle, yes ofc
SSTRed can potentially solo any of the 5 stages.
For real
worth the pity
Could say so
Definitely
Even at 1/5 with below average supports he can off-type easily.
My elec weak next week team is Pikachu/Ash/SSTRedEx.
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
Hopefully Candice is gridded for sure crit & super preparation. Ideally Candice should be able to clear the centre with 2 sync
4* fine
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
Go full health parameters
And don’t use Candice hail crit on the first sync, but second and third
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
Yes, go full HP
Yeah I will. I might also go with Celesteela since it gives +6 SpDef
Alright, Marshal is now the new problem lmao
I honestly thought Pelipper would be stronger vs him
Hard Mode?
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
FINALLY
Man of culture
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
Why do you need Kris for Clair?
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
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.
Fire: can support with torchic or Marley
Ice: Ghetsis for ice weak
Poison: Koga somewhere
Flying: Skyla as a tank
Bug: Viola somewhere
Rock: Roxanne as spatk support/minitank
Dark: Nanu flincher
Steel: Hop at a buffer/tank
@dense crow Did you play during the free units event like Classic Giovanni, Swimsuit Misty and Blue (Arcanine)?
Silver: Am I weak to you?
Against sharpedo: 
Hard mode tho
How many units with sync grid are recommended before trying master mode?
15 units minimally since you know.... But that would depend if that team will work for you or not
Ooft righto, I'm gonna have to continue grinding lodge and getting sync orbs from there as much as possible.
And also the events
Yep!
Yeah I've been doing all that 🙂
Just been syncing a few units as I go, thankfully I did sync swanna (2/5) so at least she's good to go
You can candy Skyla to 3/5
Yeah I need another candy for that
3 and 4* candies are abundant
Might have used their available ones though. No big deal, Skyla’s still great even without full grid
I mean, she has flinch hax at 3/5
Tbh I don’t even use her flinch tiles
Yeah me too
They’re great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re definitely not vital
I just grid her for MP refresh on her TM and Potion
When I get another 3* candy it's going into skyla
Definitely a great option
Just been waiting to get one
You can get away with fewer grids. Just harder.
Took 109 days on my fresh account to get here, but I finally did it. 😭
Congrats!
Next week teams
There's no fire weak next week
Fire team for bug and bug team for phychic weak stage
😜
Ah ok
remember zinnia likes weather
Then which unit should I use
Zinnia, weather setter and crit buffer
Weather could be rain, sun, sandstorm or hail
Rain accessible options are Winona
And tech egg squirtle
Blaine for Sun, Candice for Hail, Acerola for Sandstorm
Sandstorm acerola and tech egg kabutops
Might as well try with the same teams.
If you've got Candice gridded, can use him for nuking instead of either of the ice striker
For the flying weak stage you could try offtyping with your ssa Cynthia bea and Cobalion team
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.
SS Leaf + Janine?
janine might do better than viola
it's not AoE though, and my issue right now is dying to the side units once alder's been stalled out
It is actually
oh, for real? that's great
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
It's attack, special attack abd speed
yeah, atk and speed debuff is what I'm gaining over running viola
thanks so much for the help

I'd have never have thought to use janine
Well, Hilda can do her own buffs so maybe a buffer that buffs both defensive stats
pls help me beat champion stadium
For the best possible advice we’d need to see your roster. I’m assuming Hard Mode and not Master Mode?
Unova?
the one now
Hilda, ss blue and whatever else you want
The one with the Unova Elite 4/Champion? Just making sure I know exactly what I’m helping you with
yeah
Please show us your roster
what is a roster

Your collection of characters
Show us your characters
Alright, so screenshot your roster (ideally from the move level menu) so we can give the best possible advice
but i have too many they wont fit on page
where is move level menu
Send multiple screenshots
ok i will
Just do multiple screenshots. Move level menu is in the upgrade menu
done, used entei & landorus and it worked
Please screenshot from the upgrade screen to save space
idk where that is
I see that your legendary arc units are still 1/5
where is it
what arc mean
I-
Yes that
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
You definitely should and don't make the mistake of converting their 5 star upgrade tickets into all upgrade tickets
You get 5/5 and max potential for free, there’s no reason to delay it
What's the command again?
At lvl 1
too laggy
It’s +legexchange in #bot-zone iirc
....
it is when i scroll
It takes like 5 minutes to do all of them at most
ok i do later
+legexchange
Do it before you take on Champion Stadium
@manic mica Do this
If you are lagging while doing them how will you do champion stadium...
You typed fine just now tho?
Oh ok
Anyways, you should really 5/5 and (if you can) at least partially grid the Legendary Adventures pairs. They’re really good
ok
And as mentioned, don't convert their upgrade tickets into all upgrade tickets
im gonna copy ur message and dm u it to read it later
Though considering Zinnia is EX I think that’s probably not an issue
?
Just like me for some units 
Why
what
For what purpose
