Champion Stadium

[manic mica]

my memory bad

[mellow linden]

You could’ve just copied it into a notepad document

[manic mica]

sorry

[ashen viper]

You can just copy it to notepad...

[manic mica]

im on phone

[ashen viper]

Notes still exist...

[mellow linden]

Like, it’s not a big deal, but it’s something you should keep in mind for the future before you do that with someone who’s a lot less neutral about it

[manic mica]

ok

[white gale]

do you guys think Ex'd Zinnia (Dauntless/Draco Met) / SS Morty / Lucian can 2k IRis next week?

[keen jasper]

That's overkill

[white gale]

oh well, overkill is ok in my book. Planning to Use Cyrus on the water weak team so Zinnia was my best dragon offense

[dark osprey]

You may be missing max crit on zinnia based on your ss Morty move level

[white gale]

yeah, it would depend on Believe! refreshing

thankfully, MPR for that move is available at 1/5 😄

[keen jasper]

Well, I mean MP refresh on Believe! is available at /5

[white gale]

I just hate how Zinnia's TM ruins her defense

[keen jasper]

That's why she has Fresh Start when mega-d

[dark osprey]

Sorry. My bad. Always forget that Morty has mpr at 1/5

[white gale]

that's (partly) what makes him so good even at 1/5

[white gale]

ah that's true.

just means I can't sync with SS Morty, but I think syncing with Zinnia will be fine since she's Ex'd

[keen jasper]

Also, just replace Lucian for a Sp. Atk. buffer for Zinnia

[white gale]

even though SS Morty and Zinnia can max SpAtt?

Lucian's AOE Growl/Stupefy seems potentially very helpful

[dark osprey]

I guess syncing with Morty first if he's EXed is better since you would be at +2 crit for the first sync

[keen jasper]

SS Morty only has +1 and Sp. Atk. buff and Zinnia's TM is +2 Sp. Atk. with 2 uses (unless you have MP refresh which is definitely not recommended), which totals to +5 Sp. Atk. only

Also by bringing an external Sp. Atk. buffer, you don't risk Zinnia's bulk by using her TM, which lowers both of her defensive stats

[dark osprey]

If zinnia is syncing then she'd recover the stats at least

[keen jasper]

Even if her stats reset, she probably might not survive the enemy sync

Because of no defensive stat buffs

[dark osprey]

Oh. Post sync? She should be getting through pre sync mostly

[keen jasper]

Though I may be worrying for nothing because Zinnia can still destroy dragon-weak stages before the enemy can sync

[dark osprey]

The thing is that maxing her crit with Morty only takes time

[keen jasper]

I find SS Morty + OG Lyra to be a good combination

[dark osprey]

Yeah that is like a guaranteed gauntlet clear kind of team

Can put anyone on the third slot

Unlimited sun and all

[white gale]

I see. So I may be overvaluing debuffs and maybe just use og Lyra instead?

(Lucian decreases enemy attack as well)

[dark osprey]

Honestly he isn't bad. Those debuffs are like one extra striker

Can take off special shield since crit will take a while

[pliant sluice]

Hello could I get teams for Caitlin and alder?

[toxic cobalt]

Giovanni SS Elesa Misty

Cyrus May Roxanne

[pliant sluice]

Ty

[full mesa]

Lyra has issues with that stage. She is a special wall while Iris uses physical attacks.

[white gale]

Hmm good point. That's why I initially thought Lucian. Decreases their Att and SpDef, so I take less damage and hit harder

[nova fiber]

when does stadium reset?

[full mesa]

Nonetheless ZinniaMRayEx can clear both sides on sync if crits. SSMorty+ZinniaMRayEx is more than enough. Just use whatever boost crit+spa for her.

[full mesa]

Every 7 days. Look at the pins.

[nova fiber]

ah, I didn't realize pins had dates. thanks.

that image is a lot in one pin. super useful

[visual vine]

Trying to set up my teams for this week and I'm kinda struggling. Candice I'm pretty set, Grimsley I'm pretty set, it's the other two I'm struggling with mostly

For Shauntai I have Kyurem, but Don't have any really decent hail setters besides Abomisnow

I need bug, dragon, ice, fairy, and rock to complete my medal

My roster, sorry. 😅

[nova fiber]

ghetsis + pryce is very effective for ice weak stages. they spam AoE damage and minimize speed quickly if you have sufficient gauge support. gridded ghetsis can freeze and pryce has big freeze multipliers. here's a video of the strategy being used (admittedly off-type 1500, but it should be comprehensive enough) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS6aZPOwkEg

hail isn't necessary for this strategy

this team worked fine for me at 2k in the ice week shauntal even without using grid for freeze, and it's very accessible

SST red can probably handle any off-type stage you're having trouble building for if you include sufficiently tanky supports. they're an extremely powerful unit.

I'm not the best at CS yet but I hope I've helped at least a little

[visual vine]

Appreciate it, ty

[nova fiber]

Thank you for your advice! This got me my first 10k

[plucky pewter]

Trying for master mode, not sure what target I should aim for, 4200 or try for 10k.. Is my first time attempting MM.

Gridded units are: Ssred, Cyrus, SS blue, SummerN, Kiawe, Alder, ssa cynthia, skyla, ash, sycamore.

If anyone isn't levelled, can and will bring them upto 120/125

[golden stratus]

Does cs reset every Monday or sunday

[zealous karma]

Monday est

[zealous karma]

Ghost: Gio Sabrina (Koga mind games grid)
Ice: Pryce Sycamore Ghetsus
Grass: Brendan Skyla SSEirika
Flying: blue SsElesa Marley
Rock: Red Ash

[plucky pewter]

Thanks, I'll give them a run, I'll have to try get some more sync orbs for koga grid as well

Also sorry just want to make sure, is that Persian or mewtwo gio?

[wicked pebble]

Which is better, Lilltea or Anni!Lillie?

For Ghost, I mean.

Divided on whether or not to use Lillie for ghost support or damage.

[zealous karma]

Gio

Two

[plucky pewter]

Thanks 🙂

[zealous karma]

MEWTO

Discord died on me

That’s what i meant

[wicked pebble]

I have 2/5 Alister, Fantina, and Morty for ghost offense as alternatives.

[old orchid]

Def Anni Lillie

She only needs 1/5

[wicked pebble]

Well, they're both only 1/5 so...

[old orchid]

You don't use Lillietea as dmg dealer

[plucky pewter]

all good thank you :), should i just aim for 4200 points for first attempt?

[old orchid]

Yeah

[wicked pebble]

...um, I noticed, that's why I brought up my other ghost type strikers.

[old orchid]

All of them arent better than Lillie

Dps wise

[wicked pebble]

I brought them up in case them plus Lilltea was better than just Anni!Lillie.

[old orchid]

Anni Lillie is your best choice

[wicked pebble]

Dont really know who to put with the team as it is now.

Here's what I have, teams 1 and 2 aren't finished (falkner in 2 and Volkner in 1 are placeholders)

[north crown]

move level for anni lillie?

[wicked pebble]

1/5. Said already

[north crown]

lillie, misty/rosa (or any random EX support), marley/lucian (or anyone else that provides speed)

[wicked pebble]

Falkner is EX

[north crown]

but he has nothing to help defensively unless you count fly

[wicked pebble]

Should I show my supports?

Um...?

[north crown]

sure

probably don't need to stress out since you're using annilillie

I was just leaning away from falkner since annilillie is self sufficient, and falkner gives nothing to the team

[north crown]

• Falkner might fit better in another team

+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

[wicked pebble]

What is there a problem with the othet teams?

[north crown]

Just quoting that Falkner is not ideal

Leaf, AnniLillie, filler works if you want to save pairs/resources

[wicked pebble]

Kinda need more for speed management since, In my experience Lillie is VERY Move Gauge hungry.

Plus, really not sure where Falkner actually works better.

[north crown]

leaf has move gauge boost both on tm and sync

if you're really worried, have the filelr give more gauges

[wicked pebble]

Ah, thought you were talking about Lyra for some reason.

[north crown]

even then, she provides speed too....

[wicked pebble]

What about 2?

Kinda got sidetracked there.

[north crown]

Sabrina, Ghetsis, filler

[north crown]

have you not read this? teambuilding 101 my guy

[wicked pebble]

I dis, wasnt sure what else to put on the team.

Did you see the othet teams?

Was hesitant on grabbing Sabrina since I tend to save her more for LuSSa.

[crystal ledge]

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to make my roster 7.5k CSMM ready. Any particulars I should invest in? I'm clearing Legendary stories rn, so I'll have those shortly, assume they're there

Recent 5.5k clear

[modern tartan]

First 10k

[north crown]

The only thing that Sabrina could give is speed, and that's on reflect...
Please do not assume you need to match typings for good teams. Building around buffs is far better than sticking to monotype teams; your sand team is a prime example of that.

As for where to put LuSSa: I personally like to save offtype teams / wildcards in case a stage screws me over.

[wicked pebble]

...That's why I was wanting to save her.

[north crown]

for speed?!

well ig there's any bulky speed buffers except kiawe

alternatively you could go tank, LuSSa, Marley

[full mesa]

Skyla, Marley, Sonia. Should I go on?

[toxic cobalt]

The roster seems quite decent, the main issue here is I think the teambuilding. There’s no reason to have everyone the same type like this. Better to get a more useful support.

[eternal lodge]

Which team seems more fun for tomorrow

[rose ermine]

Are my teams good for next week?

[keen jasper]

Those are literally overkill

[rose ermine]

Even Lisia? nice

[keen jasper]

Look at my teams for tomorrow

[rose ermine]

More overkill than mine lmao

[plucky pewter]

Don't think I'm getting MM done this week. Tried a few times but can only seem to get one battle done. Even when just aiming for 4200

[toxic cobalt]

What teams are you trying?

[full mesa]

Sent us your roster.

[plucky pewter]

Teams 3-7 are the ones I was recommended.
With my units I only just got cynthia/Garchomp and the units after her like. An hour ago hence they aren't levelled

Sorry for delay reply, I'm at work and was on a task

Atm I can beat grimsley with team 5 when going for 850 points on it but other teams aren't having luck

[toxic cobalt]

Scrap Koga for a tank. Change your parameters for ice to high Hp. Team 5 give Brendan dauntless or scrap him, no idea what team 6 is, team 7 is gross overkill.

[plucky pewter]

This is how the recommendation was

Ghost: Gio Sabrina (Koga mind games grid)
Ice: Pryce Sycamore Ghetsus
Grass: Brendan Skyla SSEirika
Flying: blue SsElesa Marley
Rock: Red Ash

So team 6 would be for marshal

Dauntless is a lucky skill right?

[formal vigil]

Yeah from the creamy cookies

[plucky pewter]

Alright cheers

I really need to farm cookies

I've moved ssb blue in place of koga as a tank.
So now working on a team against marshal.
Also need to get more. Creamy cookies to get dauntless

[quiet sun]

hello

[keen jasper]

Yes, please show us your units

[quiet sun]

how do i do that?

[keen jasper]

Screenshot your collection of units and send it here

[quiet sun]

okay

that all my unit

@keen jasper

nvm i killled caitlin now with mewtwo lol

i barly did it

[full mesa]

MM or Hard mode? If hard mode, what types are you missing?

[quiet sun]

but i lost all my op unit

[keen jasper]

This will still help in composing your teams for the other fights

[quiet sun]

i dont have ashe or red pikachu anymore 😦

[keen jasper]

Did you both of them at the same time or separately?

[quiet sun]

i use them on older fights

fro this week

[full mesa]

Which e4 are left?

[keen jasper]

Who's the only elite 4 member remaining?

[quiet sun]

now im fighting aalder

.<

alder

[full mesa]

Ohhh ok. So boss only.

[quiet sun]

i only have lycan rock

[keen jasper]

Oh Alder

[quiet sun]

how hard is he

?

[keen jasper]

He has Hyper Beam, which hits really hard

[quiet sun]

fudge

.<

what unit?

should i use

?

[keen jasper]

Alder is all special, the sides do physical

[quiet sun]

is physical att or special att better for this fight

?

[keen jasper]

At least she's 3/5, but do you have anyone to set up the weather "sandstorm"?

[quiet sun]

not sure who has sandstorm

lol

[keen jasper]

Do you have Bertha?

[quiet sun]

i dont

😦

i have acerola

and passoland

[keen jasper]

Did you grid Olivia?

[quiet sun]

no not sure her grid is lol

[keen jasper]

This is the grid that I was given

[quiet sun]

nice

thanks

so i should use olvia

who else

?

[keen jasper]

Yes, otherwise just off-type if you can't do it

[keen jasper]

Do you have Morty/Mismagius?

I'm too lazy to recheck

[quiet sun]

no lol

[keen jasper]

I guess, Roxanne/Acerola/Olivia

Make sure your Roxanne is gridded

[quiet sun]

okay

ill try that

[quiet sun]

i did it ahahahah

[keen jasper]

Nice work

[quiet sun]

how do i get the 18k gems

?

i thought if i bet this i get it lol

[keen jasper]

?

[keen jasper]

Who said that?

[quiet sun]

by getting the bundle

lol

[keen jasper]

Did you get 18/18 types?

[quiet sun]

no 😦

only got 9/18

how can i get 18/18?

[keen jasper]

Then you'll have to wait next week to get the remaining 9

[keen jasper]

It usually takes 2 weeks to get 18/18

Minimally

[quiet sun]

ooh i ave to use

other types

like water fighting posion etc

to fill the est

rest

awh man >.<

[keen jasper]

You have another chance tomorrow to get 18/18

[quiet sun]

that rough

yeah but i have to use other types though 😦

[keen jasper]

Since it's reset

[keen jasper]

Max HP and strength parameters, all of them ended up with full HP

[swift swan]

fair and balanced units : )

[plucky pewter]

I sure look forward to being able to do that one day 😂

[keen jasper]

Cynthia is 1/5, Red is 1/5 and Ash is 2/5

Very balanced indeed (:

[trail smelt]

Next reset cs mm resets get your stuff done

[plucky pewter]

Won't be getting MM done this time.
Tomorrow will get hard done then focus on mm and getting units built I think

[eternal lodge]

switch lucario with altaria and youll easily 4.3k any stage

[keen jasper]

I'm trying 3450 pts. against Alder

It seems that half TM also affects B Moves too

I just realized that just now

[undone ether]

Dat ss morty is crying o.o

[full mesa]

Half TM affects every move with x/y weather it's a status, physical or special move from pokemon or trainer.

[manic mica]

Im i good for tomorrow ?

[mellow linden]

Looks solid at a glance

[keen jasper]

Looks like overkill TBH

[sick inlet]

It always looks overkill with these damage dealers

But it's good

[trail cypress]

ash with cred

...

[manic mica]

I dont have st red ok 😭

[sick inlet]

Sst red would be even more overkill

[north crown]

replace EGiovanni with Cyrus

[manic mica]

I want may to be my main damage dealer tho

[simple storm]

u can use both

[manic mica]

Yeah no thanks

Except if i really struggle

[simple storm]

[keen jasper]

Whatever works for you I guess

[vivid star]

I'm struggling with a team of Pryce/Ghetsis/Sycamore

are there any recommended replacement units or ways of getting to 2k that are different from what's pinned?

[manic mica]

Off type

[vivid star]

no, the ice weakness one

;u;

[manic mica]

Off type it

[frosty axle]

Pryce and Ghetsis together is quite slow

[formal vigil]

I used a similar team to 2k but replace pryce with classic gio

[frosty axle]

yes replace Pryce

[vivid star]

never mind

just got a lucky freeze

thanks for the recommendations though, I'll probably use classic gio in another one

all I have left are Caitlin and Alder (who I'll use Red on)

my only ghost damage dealers are
morty (5/5) (not by choice)
fantina (5/5) (definitely not by choice)
and Alister (1/5)

do I just go off type with this one?

[frosty axle]

Morty isn't bad, but probably needs EX sync nuke

[mellow linden]

Also, don’t forget you have Giovanni + Mewtwo as a Ghost damage-dealer

[long thicket]

I managed to win while reaching 7500 with a few trials.

Marshall was the weirdest because he pretty much one-shots the units at some point.

I'm shocked that I won Ice without many issues with Cheryl as a support.

[mellow linden]

Not super surprising, Cheryl’s grid is pretty good

[long thicket]

Unfortunately, it didn't give me more champion spirits, but eh.

As someone who has fond memories of Cheryl for whatever reason, this was nice.

Not as shocking as seeing my favorite male and female protags working awesomely together, though.

[manic mica]

Except the lack of speed

[sick inlet]

Is giovanni 3/5?

[full mesa]

But you get co-op and theme orbs. You definitely need those too.

[north crown]

consider replacing hop with skyla or something

[sick inlet]

Only if Giovani is 3/5 ~

[manic mica]

Yes

[sick inlet]

consider replacing hop with skyla or something

Is a very valid solution as your SSGio will no longer need a crit buff when you have cc9.

[keen jasper]

Unless enemy applies crit prot field

[sick inlet]

Should be long done with the stage before hand

[keen jasper]

Fair enough

[wicked pebble]

Okay, guessing a sun team should take the first rule?

[mellow linden]

For this week? Doesn’t have to be Sun specifically, could be any weather/terrain/zone

[keen jasper]

For what tho?

[mellow linden]

Dunno what tomorrow will bring on parameters though

[wicked pebble]

It makes field effects permanent.

And one of my teams is a sun team with SS Erika and SS Lyra.

[keen jasper]

That depends on who you want to do tho

[mellow linden]

If you’re running both Sun and Grassy Terrain for your Grimsley fight before reset then round 1 is a great choice to use them on, yeah

[wicked pebble]

These are my teams, as they are now.

[mellow linden]

Weird choice for taking on Shauntal when there’s plenty of good Ice types, but if it works it works

[wicked pebble]

I dont really have any good ice types.

Ghestis and Hala are my brst.

[mellow linden]

Ghetsis and Candice exist tho

[wicked pebble]

And... Ghestis hasn't felt really good to use, in all honesty.

[mellow linden]

Have you had “No Stat Reductions” turned on when using him? Because he really needs to be able to lower stats in order to do well

[eternal mist]

There is no stage that is particularly difficult this week right? The ones that come after the reset

[mellow linden]

Grimsley might pose a slight challenge for some because Bug weakness, but the rest are pretty much free

[eternal mist]

Ty

[mellow linden]

No problem

[weak sleet]

Do we still use the pinned recommended parameters for this master mode?

I have great teams for 4/5 of the ones coming soon. Only one I don't have much for is bug

[keen jasper]

Either that or make your own

I usually make my own parameters even if it coincidentally follows pin

[weak sleet]

Will the bug one be easy to off type?

I have lusamine/Bianca, ash/red, Zygarde, and Archie/may/Suicuine for the others.

[eternal mist]

I'm planning to offtype it

[wicked pebble]

had 'no stat reductions' on, Ghestis just... feels weird to me.

What was the list again? Of parameters, I mean.

[keen jasper]

Is it the one in pinned?

[swift swan]

BRUH I FORGOT TODAY IS MONDAY AND I HAVEN'T PLANNED MY CS TEAMS

at least it's a good sign because it means I'm busy with uni

[swift swan]

...half sync countdown again.... NOOOOO

[thin marten]

why was it easy

feeling like a clown for saying that

[ocean beacon]

do we need to use physical units or special

still don’t understand cs all that much

[thin marten]

depends on the battle u want to do

bc some are resistant to phys, some to spec

[ocean beacon]

marshal and grimsley i’m having trouble with

[thin marten]

marshal is easy to beat up if u have enough defense and/or physical reduction (sabrina s reflect)

as for dps, choose ur best psychic striker (u can do it with gio if u dont have anyone else)

[keen jasper]

Man, SS Steven just completely sent Marshal to the shadow realm

[thin marten]

RIGHT

[keen jasper]

With him being the first sync

[thin marten]

i was flabbergasted on first sync hitting 20k

[thin marten]

aoe

[keen jasper]

My SS Steven hit 30k range first sync

[thin marten]

i mean
mine is 1/5 ex

[keen jasper]

I can understand, I mean I just recently candied my SS Steven

[thin marten]

but it still was a shock how three of the five stages were such overkills 😭

[keen jasper]

I killed them before they can even sync

Yes even in round 2

[thin marten]

tries to remember r2
electric weak
oh yes

[keen jasper]

Your teams can potentially do 10k

[thin marten]

also #1010274591601598555

i agree

u can get easy 10k

with what u have

[nova galleon]

I am not able to do 2k on iris

[keen jasper]

Why exactly do you have 2 damage dealers on Iris?

[nova galleon]

May because of sync move countdown

[keen jasper]

Why aren't you using Zinnia against Iris even if you don't have her power boost and EX?

[nova galleon]

And I did 1.5k status stall on grimsley

[keen jasper]

I can understand Grimsley

[nova galleon]

I am having zinnia power boost

[keen jasper]

Oh, then why don't you use her for Iris along with a weather setter?

[nova galleon]

She dies

In first sync of opponent

[keen jasper]

SS Brendan, Zinnia and weather setter

Don't use Zinnia's TM

[nova galleon]

Should I spam outrage

[keen jasper]

No, because Iris has Breaking Swipe

Do you have Dauntless on Zinnia?

[nova galleon]

Nope

[keen jasper]

What's her lucky skill then?

[nova galleon]

Cs2

[keen jasper]

Do you have anymore 3 star creamy lucky cookies?

[nova galleon]

Let me check 1min

[nova galleon]

@keen jasper done what should I do next

[mint cedar]

Wallace have any gimmicks this week?

[keen jasper]

Wallace?

[mint cedar]

Iris

[keen jasper]

IDK, I killed her too fast

[swift swan]

check pomatools. link on pins

[keen jasper]

Do 10k now unless you're satisfied with 8.1k

[nova galleon]

Any team suggestions

[keen jasper]

SS Brendan, Zinnia/Rayquaza and Sabrina

[keen jasper]

Since your Brendan isn't EX-ed, just keep on syncing with Zinnia

[sick inlet]

actually good for my solo runs

I can solo 2 stages with squishies now

[keen jasper]

Yeah me too, I did round 2 against Caitlin and just completely annihilated her psyche

[thin marten]

same

i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw b volt tackle os the sides

[keen jasper]

2 Pallet Town bois with Zeus rodents completely annihilates girl with 2nd highest position that specializes in mental powers

[thin marten]

electric rats clear birbs

[eternal lodge]

How is it looking for a 15-17.5K CSMM

[swift swan]

Maybe the Marshal team will have some gauge issues?

[keen jasper]

Who's your best bug-type damage dealer?

[eternal lodge]

With 15K per move I believe gauge won't be a problem

[eternal lodge]

Lusamine

[swift swan]

[manic mica]

pls help

i cant beat grimsley bug

i have ludamine and guzma

my only bug units

[keen jasper]

Have you tried off-typing?

[manic mica]

all my off types are used

like good off types

i have these too

[keen jasper]

Why don't you show us your remaining usable units?

[manic mica]

ok wait

its 6 screenshots

[manic mica]

can i send 6 screenshots

[sick inlet]

I re-did Marshal R2 with SSteven stage way more than I wanted

[keen jasper]

Go ahead

[manic mica]

ok ill tell you the ones i used

i used sst red

ss blue

ash

archie

misty

roxanne

what are the other types in cs

[keen jasper]

Wait, is this MM or hard mode?

[manic mica]

normal

the one 1st time

i also used mespirit ssteven and bianca

ok so how should i beat grimsley

[keen jasper]

So you've only used 4/18 types?

[keen silo]

Do you have ss erika

[manic mica]

the one with tangela?

[keen silo]

leafeon

[manic mica]

i think

water electric rock psychic

[manic mica]

[obtuse hound]

@manic mica

[keen jasper]

BTW, why is your Zinnia 1/5?

[obtuse hound]

good question

let me look at the types for this week, offtyping is a likely

[manic mica]

who aron

[keen jasper]

Aaron/Vespiquen

[obtuse hound]

aaron, bug user with vespiquen?

[keen silo]

aaron and vespiquen

[keen silo]

[obtuse hound]

ooof

[manic mica]

whats a parameer

[obtuse hound]

hard mode

they haven't unlocked mm

[keen silo]

I mean this

[obtuse hound]

ohh i see

gotcha, sorry 4am brain

[manic mica]

4

its round 4

[keen silo]

Nw had a 4am brain moment earlier as well

hmm

[obtuse hound]

could offtype

what pairs you have left yeex?

[manic mica]

scroll up

[keen jasper]

I forget, can the copies of the legendary arc units be bought for something else?

[manic mica]

here

[obtuse hound]

hmm

[manic mica]

i can level/evolve any

[obtuse hound]

@keen silo would a rain or sun team work here?

[manic mica]

idk

[obtuse hound]

might be worth a try, you have archie. you also have ssteven

bianca

and sycamore

[manic mica]

i used them

bianca steven archie

[manic mica]

the list is what i used

[keen silo]

a rain team is probably being used for shauntal

[manic mica]

i did

[keen silo]

a sun team is more likely

[manic mica]

i used rain team for shaunyql

[obtuse hound]

unova hard mode wasn't that bad for me, i'm trying to think

you didnt use silver or redzard?

[manic mica]

no

my redzard is 5/5 btw

i pulled him 5 times

[keen jasper]

You what?

[manic mica]

want to see

[keen jasper]

You pulled on the SS Kantrio banner?

[keen silo]

[manic mica]

yeah

[keen silo]

WHAT

[keen jasper]

Gawd dawm

[manic mica]

i tried to get leaf

but i didnt

[obtuse hound]

[manic mica]

i only got red

5 times

not even blue

i had to get blue on victory road

[keen silo]

built different

[manic mica]

yeah

[obtuse hound]

different breed

[manic mica]

so should i use redzard with silver ho oh

[obtuse hound]

does silver set sun? i didn't get him yet 😅

[manic mica]

his sync does

[obtuse hound]

you could try that yeah

make sure to grid your redzard tho that will help a lot

especially with that move level

[manic mica]

what 3rd sync pair should i use

[obtuse hound]

probs a potion user

[keen jasper]

Who are you fighting against again?

[manic mica]

grimsley

[obtuse hound]

grimsley r4, hard mode they said

[keen jasper]

Then someone to boost defense to your team

[obtuse hound]

that too

[keen jasper]

Grimsley is physical

[manic mica]

ok look at my screenshots and choose one

[keen jasper]

Skyla

[manic mica]

here

[keen jasper]

I forget, is she 3/5

[manic mica]

ok

ill use skyla

[obtuse hound]

that's what i wanted to suggest but i worried about champion stage

[keen jasper]

Is she 3/5?

[manic mica]

who do i use on champion stage

[manic mica]

1/5

[keen jasper]

Zinnia, but make sure she's at least 3/5

[keen jasper]

Candy her

[manic mica]

i have 1 support candy

only

[obtuse hound]

how many 3* ones?

[keen jasper]

3 star support candy?

[manic mica]

yeah

3 star

let me ss candy

[keen jasper]

I think 2/5 is fine, but you're gonna miss the MP refresh on Potion

Also, get Zinnia to 5/5

[obtuse hound]

they also have hop and sycamore available for either stage

as healers/buffers

[manic mica]

yes

[keen jasper]

Did you 5/5 Zinnia now?

[manic mica]

i will

when i use her

[keen jasper]

She will be used against Iris

[manic mica]

ok

i gridded skyla for mp refresh chance byw

[keen jasper]

But make sure to have an external special attack buffer and someone to buff crit for her and someone to set weather

[obtuse hound]

i need to be as confident as you cight lol

[manic mica]

like who

can you rccommend

from the list

[obtuse hound]

would sycamore and his sync work for that?

and for weather..

[keen silo]

maybe erika lol

[obtuse hound]

yeah maybe

[manic mica]

erika is sunny day

[keen jasper]

Sycamore can buff Sp. Atk. yes, but need a weather setter and crit buffer

I only see Bertha

[trail smelt]

… hmm

[obtuse hound]

ok so he doesn't buff crit, right

[keen silo]

n

[keen jasper]

No

[trail smelt]

I picked a bad week next week to decide to go mono type LMAO

[keen silo]

sycamore is spatk spdef spd

[keen jasper]

Sycamore, Bertha and Zinnia for Iris

[trail smelt]

Not sure what I wanna do for Fairy

[keen jasper]

Make sure Bertha is leveled up

[manic mica]

whos bertha

[trail smelt]

Obviously I got Sycamore and Mina for replacement

[trail smelt]

Old lady Sinnoh e4

[keen jasper]

The one with Hippowdon

[trail smelt]

With Hippowdon

[manic mica]

ok

ill try do cs now ill come back if i cant

cya

[keen jasper]

Bertha sets weather with sandstorm and buffs crit via her TM

[obtuse hound]

good luck, let us know if you have issues

now it's my turn for mm

[trail smelt]

So ideas for fairy mono type?

[keen jasper]

If your Lyra/Chikorita is 3/5, then I would've greatly recommended her over Bertha

[keen jasper]

I'm not really sure

[trail smelt]

I hate all our fairies lol

[keen jasper]

When Magearna with Fleur Cannon?

[obtuse hound]

back when it was hoenn cs and sidney was bug weak someone told me they destroyed with masked royal, would that be viable for grimsley here since he's also physical?

[obtuse hound]

but who?

DeNa: adds another cynthia

[keen jasper]

Probably SS Lillie

[obtuse hound]

yo i like that

make another useful lillie pair

[formal vigil]

Yes

[obtuse hound]

my girl lillie got let down with her og pair

[keen jasper]

Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't regret spending my gems on SC Emmet because look how hard it is to on-type bug-weak stages

[obtuse hound]

and the train boys scs i see used in so many nukes

among other things

wish i was there for it

[keen silo]

Fairy type 😭

[obtuse hound]

im going for 10k again

[keen jasper]

Gotta wait for a sync pair with Magearna with 4 -gauge Fleur Cannon

And also Downside Up for it

[keen silo]

^

i am pitying for that 100%

[obtuse hound]

fairy type sssteven?

[formal vigil]

[keen jasper]

Carbink

[obtuse hound]

as long as the ss/sc is a great character with an absolutely adorable outfit

gotta be a fav

[trail smelt]

For bug weak I got Alder + Guzma EX and they wreck faces haha

Though Discharge happy Hau is their bane

[manic mica]

im back

i forgot what team to use

its skyla bertha and smth

[trail smelt]

Vs who?

[keen jasper]

Bertha, Sycamore and Zinnia for Iris

[trail smelt]

Oh yeah that works

[manic mica]

grimsley

[keen jasper]

Grimsley R4

[manic mica]

who for grimsley

whos the last

[eternal lodge]

26th EX sync pair, kinda wanting to use a dark type team for 3-3.5k Sidney instead of the steel type one

[obtuse hound]

sidney?

[eternal lodge]

Grimsley

[manic mica]

who do i use against grimsley r4

skyla bertha and who?

@obtuse hound

[obtuse hound]

uhhh noooooo

[keen silo]

bertha is for champ

[manic mica]

oh

[keen silo]

not r4

[obtuse hound]

yep

you wanna use silver, redzard and skyla

against grimsley r4

[manic mica]

ok

[keen silo]

ss red char silver skyla

and sync move silver

[undone ether]

This should do it rite?

[keen silo]

for sunny day

[obtuse hound]

and for champion, zinnia, bertha, sycamore

make sure zinnia is 5/5

set weather and crit with bertha

and sync with sycamore first

[obtuse hound]

how do you get bugscyther, and would that exact team still work for me without ex aaron?

[eternal lodge]

sst red alone would be enough, and bugscyther was an event

[obtuse hound]

oh damn

[obtuse hound]

this is also 2k mm 😅

[eternal lodge]

and sst red is sst red

[obtuse hound]

he's 1/5

[eternal lodge]

more than enough

[obtuse hound]

ok

sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

[manic mica]

how do i get more energy

on grid

[formal vigil]

You can't

[manic mica]

oh

how should i grid my redzard

im not sure

[formal vigil]

What move level?

[manic mica]

5

alive channel

wrong copy and paste

[eternal lodge]

this seems like the best option from my povç

[manic mica]

ok ill do that

[obtuse hound]

are you sure?

[eternal lodge]

ive tried it before

[obtuse hound]

with only sst red

like only one pair

[eternal lodge]

yes

[obtuse hound]

what move level

what battle

what parameters

[eternal lodge]

both 1/5 and 2/5

and the usual presync parameters

[obtuse hound]

2/5

and who was it against?

[eternal lodge]

against all alite fours of one of the first unova weeks

[obtuse hound]

?? you can't use the same pair again in the same week??

unless you reset

[eternal lodge]

as you said, you can reset to try again

[obtuse hound]

then why is grimsley 2 away from sync and i havent even dealt 1/4

something doesn't add up here

[eternal lodge]

sounds more of a skill issue

[obtuse hound]

probably cause my sst red isnt 2/5

[dusk zenith]

how does this fair for mm

[eternal lodge]

2/5 only adds extra dmg to para enemies, wont be much of a difference

[obtuse hound]

dude if you came here to make jokes that's not why i'm coming here for help lmao

[eternal lodge]

im just answering to your question, i cant see how you only dealt 1/4 of the center hp with sst red

[formal vigil]

For zinnia team replace flannery with a weather setter

[keen silo]

Ash and red are so deadly lmao

never seen a more free 2k on cait with that duo

[obtuse hound]

@eternal lodge 😐

if you're trolling please stop

[formal vigil]

Wouldn't you need ex if doing off type with 1/5 red

[eternal lodge]

what kind of parameters are you using, theres no way in hell sst red get one tapped

[tired sleet]

Might be 3/5 red vs 1/5

[obtuse hound]

they said they did it no ex, no potential,

move level 1/5

alone

[obtuse hound]

post sync

[eternal lodge]

i didnt say no ex, though i cant really say if you can without it since i had it exed already

[obtuse hound]

there you go

[eternal lodge]

but still, getting one tapped by a single move at start is jsut not possible, you have to be using a wierd parameter

[obtuse hound]

look in pins

go to the url

look at post sync

2k

thats what im using

@eternal lodge

[eternal lodge]

may i suggest trying this

[rigid arrow]

No status with sst red?

[trail smelt]

Does SSTRed get damage multipliers from paralyzed enemies?

[eternal lodge]

her pikachu wont get any dmg boost from para since its 1/5

[rigid arrow]

Oh 1/5 my b

[trail smelt]

Ah then yeah

[obtuse hound]

its definitely because of 2/5 and ex you could do it alone

[undone ether]

EX Aaron actually. Just not SST Red :x

[marsh vault]

@sick inlet i was able to do all single unit runs this time

[marsh vault]

Red and ash were strongest obviously

[obtuse hound]

thats how much sync did

[sick inlet]

who did you use for Shauntel/Grimsley?

[obtuse hound]

sorry, max move

[obtuse hound]

were they ex?

[marsh vault]

I used lussamin

[obtuse hound]

lusamine og?

[marsh vault]

Of course, but they probably don't need to be

Since it's ash and red

[manic mica]

pls help which

help

[formal vigil]

Last one

[obtuse hound]

you said you did single unit run, im trying 2k against grimsley with only 1/5 sst red non ex and getting bodied

[eternal lodge]

just checked, ex seems like ex is needed, but not 2/5

[obtuse hound]

hmm

i have nearly 60 powerups

but only 50 spirits

[sick inlet]

Parameters?

[obtuse hound]

and i still haven't done bertha in the event

[sick inlet]

Also why are you trying to solo

[obtuse hound]

the ones @eternal lodge suggested

[obtuse hound]

because its possible?

you didn't question okawari

[marsh vault]

Cus i was bored

And i wanted to do something like your runs

With instead of double units just used single units

[sick inlet]

I am gonna redo it though. I couldn't solo Shauntel in R3

[obtuse hound]

it seems like ex is needed for that but i only have 50 spirits plus need to do bertha event

so i probably should just use regular teams

[marsh vault]

Shauntel actually i think you can solo with ss kris

[obtuse hound]

but this was max move on sstred

[marsh vault]

Suicune kinda strong

[obtuse hound]

so idk what to do even with 3 pairs

uh help?

[eternal lodge]

did you use special or physical max move btw

[formal vigil]

Maybe replace hop with kukui or something for leer or throw in a ex support

[obtuse hound]

physical because last time special was worse

[obtuse hound]

i don't have kukui, only masked royal

sorry for 4th wall break

[formal vigil]

He works too

[obtuse hound]

and my only support ex is blue

shouldn't i use him somewhere else?

or should i ex somebody else

[gusty ravine]

hohoho i get to use naomi next week

slay

[formal vigil]

What teams do you plan on using for the others?

[obtuse hound]

no idea, i just woke up

probs ash for cait

[eternal lodge]

one thing i forgot to ask, do you have lv15 3* electric gear

[obtuse hound]

ssteven for marshal

[obtuse hound]

lvl 3 3 star gear

i could probably do rain against shauntal

[eternal lodge]

please level those up, it should help alot, even if the damage still wont make sense itll make more sense

[obtuse hound]

idk how good zinnia would be in 2k mm

so is blue good here or no

ive never done 2k i want to, cause hard mode was so gosh darn easy, i know i can, but its stressful so if im being annoying sorry

[formal vigil]

I would say yes since other teams could make due without ss blue

[obtuse hound]

alr

[formal vigil]

Also zinnia is great for 2k as long you give her weather

[keen jasper]

She needs more than weather, she needs an external buffer

[obtuse hound]

ugh i nearly won but got fully paralyzed by grimsley 3 times in a row

at the end

[keen jasper]

Using what?

[obtuse hound]

do you mean my pairs?

grimsley was 1 hit away, there's no mistake with my pairs

masked royal, sst red, ssblueex

[keen jasper]

Why Masked Royal?

Unless you're using him to debuff attack?

[formal vigil]

Debuff attack defence

[keen jasper]

Red already debuffs defense

Well assuming the enemy is paralyzed that is

[formal vigil]

Oh I never knew

[obtuse hound]

i won anyway

[formal vigil]

[obtuse hound]

caitlin good for r2 i assume?

[formal vigil]

Yeah

[gusty ravine]

For next week 7.5k, if all else fails i still have sc submas as backup

no idea who else to slot in for the wally/cynthia team cause i am 80% sure they're enough to smack alder to oblivion and bea is too gauge expensive

thats why ghetsis is just there

more survivability is always good i guess

[trail smelt]

That fairy team any good?

[gusty ravine]

now that mina has her grid yeah its much better than before im pretty sure

[trail smelt]

I’m looking for fairy monotype teams haha

[gusty ravine]

its kinda the standard fairy team anyways

(unless you have burghepi or something else lol)

sycamore is good enough that he can pretty much solo dps the stage as well, but mina just makes it faster

lillie has accuracy and gives ur dps crit twice

[formal vigil]

I would replace lilie with hop

[trail smelt]

No Crit buffer fairy eh

[gusty ravine]

nah, using him to buff my silver

saves me some of n's dire hits too

get his dps up quicker

[gusty ravine]

unfortunately not

kinda sad

mina has critbuff on grid but thats like

twice

so its still not the most consistent

[formal vigil]

There is togepi

[rigid arrow]

I can't clear monotype Grimsley on 1st round, any help?

Is it even possible? (2k mm btw)

[obtuse hound]

shauntal r3? or marshal r3?

shauntal i assume

[nova fiber]

which 2k are you using? check the common options in pins

[rigid arrow]

i'm using pre-sync but "Max HP 2" instead of stat reduction

[nova fiber]

I recommend post sync. pre sync has insane damage ramp up because of the "power on hit" modifiers

post sync is much more malleable and easier to clear with a variety of teams

pre-sync generally requires you to play optimally unless you are using an absurd nuker

[eternal mist]

U look like you're missing gauge mgt options

[rigid arrow]

I see, tyvm! I'll try right now

[nova fiber]

best of luck

[rigid arrow]

the only one that hits is alder so it's kinda fine

[pliant sluice]

I tried using the suggested team for shauntal but I just do no dmg

[gusty ravine]

which team is that? if you have a 3/5 may and some kind of tank with ex/sycamore use them

[pliant sluice]

Starmie swampert blast pose

[sick inlet]

Might try that, I already did 3 solos, struggled a lot because firespin with Shauntel, and Iris just needs some RNG.

[pliant sluice]

I guess the problem is my may is 1/5?

[gusty ravine]

i was just gonna say 1/5 shouldnt be that much of a problem

make sure ur setting ur rain wisely and make sure ur using the right parameters (in pins)

uhhh

[pliant sluice]

I’m not even doing masters

[gusty ravine]

,oh

im assuming starmie is the misty and starmie one?

[pliant sluice]

Yeah

[gusty ravine]

that one is pretty bad so try using someone else

(e.g. rosa for free spatk for may)

[sick inlet]

Use someone that buffs Sp.atk

[obtuse hound]

i did it just now : )

who can i use with maykip in a rain team against shauntal r3?

[sick inlet]

Solid water strikers?

[dusty path]

Cyrus XD

[sick inlet]

Assuming your May is still mudkip

You probably need a stronger dps

[dusty path]

Assuming you have other dragons for against Iris

[sick inlet]

Cyrus only good vs dragon if expanded grid

Otherwise he's just.... A water striker.

[dusty path]

Well then yeah, do Cyrus on water

[obtuse hound]

i can always evolve

[sick inlet]

I mean, it's possible to clear as Cyrus, Mudkip, and a Support that buffs sp.atk

Sp.atk + Crit would be perfect

Giovanni maybe

[obtuse hound]

ss or persian?

[sick inlet]

Persian

SS is a striker, not support

[obtuse hound]

ok this is not working lmfao

giovanni nearly got one tapped by one of the sides

and its over if she uses heat wave

[dusty path]

You'd probably want to use Cyrus' TMs, so you'd probably want to bring a potion or 2

[obtuse hound]

and hydro pump does next to nothing

maybe should offtype

[dusty path]

I'm using SS Blue, Liza, May(Swampert)

Liza for SpAtk and SpDef

[sick inlet]

Right, I forgot you want speed for ramming speed. My bad, I still haven't slept 💀

[obtuse hound]

me neither, i totally forgot about it also

• person who beat steven with cyrus

[dusty path]

That's why it did nothing XD

[obtuse hound]

wow shauntal is really good a dodging hydro pump

thats 4 dodged

also im gonna have to do presync as sync kills

but it might not even be possible if shauntal dodges 4 hydro pumps in a row

[sick inlet]

Change your grid

You probably have critical focus from Battle villa right?

Make a grid that focuses on Hydro pump damage + accuracy + ramming speed

[zealous karma]

What in the one bar move??

I’ve seen lusamine do less than this just normally ):

[sick inlet]

These are the things you want the most @obtuse hound

[obtuse hound]

aight thanks i think he's gridded already just didnt use his tm

[sick inlet]

Fury cutter gets stronger each time you use + you got furious brawn 😅

[zealous karma]

I thought that was only a main series thing bruv

[sick inlet]

Brawn*

[zealous karma]

I swear I’ve reread the description of it to check if it did that wth

[sick inlet]

Yeah no, it's good the only bad thing about it was if you synced or buffed yourself it resets

[manic mica]

How come this team is so frail

They die quickly

[formal vigil]

What your dieing too?

[sick inlet]

Shauntel hits a bit hard, what parameters?

[manic mica]

Blue take a lot of damages somehow

Post sync

[sick inlet]

Is this round 4

[dusty path]

You don't have SpDef buffs, and yeah if it's round 4 even worse

Coz shauntal is special attacker

[obtuse hound]

if you can't beat with that team i'm scared

im using a similar team

[sick inlet]

Ssblue and Giovanni not needed together in the same team

[manic mica]

Yes

[sick inlet]

Thats why

[dusty path]

Yeah both do crit and Cyrus fully buffs SpAtk and Spd

[sick inlet]

Round 4 = special attacks ruin you

[manic mica]

Ok so should i restart everything

[sick inlet]

You can still do it, but you probably need something more optimal

To presync them

[formal vigil]

Just put someone that buff special defence

Or use a rain setter like may or winnoa for more damage

[manic mica]

I havr may

But who should i remove

[formal vigil]

Giovanni

[manic mica]

On

Ok

[eternal lodge]

just tried 3K caitlin on round 2, ash max move is just too broken it let me sync twice before the enemy

[dusty path]

Red max move? Yeah I think for me I found if you use it first you can still sync twice before your opponent

[obtuse hound]

its even worse without giovanni

i used a potion master instead for ramming speed

not nearly as good

might have to offtype

[eternal lodge]

yeah, i meant red, i wished i had ash

[manic mica]

Thanks

@obtuse hound

Try this team

[obtuse hound]

unfortunately i already used ssb ex

i was told to use him against grimsley

[dusty path]

That's okay, his main use against Shauntal here is crit buff and tanking

[hidden ore]

What parameters do ya recommend?
Is pre sync still good for this week?

[formal vigil]

Congrats

[zealous karma]

I used the same team as you on round 2 whay made you struggle?

[obtuse hound]

omg

im never gonna beat shauntal

or im gonna have to offtype

[eternal lodge]

what team are you using

[obtuse hound]

and the first heat wave takes half my team out

[obtuse hound]

cyrus, may-swampert giovanni

[eternal lodge]

can you show your pairs avaliable?

[obtuse hound]

and giovannis gone

sure

[zealous karma]

Do you have any SpDef buffing sync pairs?

[violet timber]

Idk why i chose Shauntal on round 4

But don’t

Even if you have the ideal reverse SpA nuke team her heat waves will murder your career

[obtuse hound]

@eternal lodge finally, it loaded

[violet timber]

the triple dragon MC team is just not balanced

one shot sync

[hidden ore]

Is Gloria Panda good for Shauntal?

Thought of going with her & May and Polteageist

Or maybe Archie better?

[zealous karma]

I’d say archie would be better for tjay team as may doesnt get anything from Gloria

I did shauntal round 2 as I was sure I could beat it before her sync

[violet timber]

Cyrus could definitely do it

but Gloria nukes are nukes

[undone ether]

Her first sync nuke killed may and archie so uh yeah

[violet timber]

you can probably try round 3

since it helps neither side

[sinful garden]

i wanna try to beat my personal best and get 8k points this week can anyone recommend me some parameters

[formal vigil]

replace giovanni with ss brendan

[zealous karma]

I was able to look her before her sync what move levels?

[undone ether]

4/5 for May, 1/5 for Archie EX, and 3/5 May

[zealous karma]

I see

[dusty path]

2 Mays?

[undone ether]

SS Kris

xD

[zealous karma]

Mine was 5/5 May 3/5 SSKris 3/5 Archie

[dusty path]

Ah, I see...

[zealous karma]

🦑

[dusty path]

I just did Shauntal r3 presync parameters (still went until after the sync tho) with SSBrendan SCRosa and May (1/5 Latios EX, 3/5 Shaymin, 5/5 Swampert EX)

Yes I suppose the 2 EX are probably what made it work...

[zealous karma]

That’s so overkill wow lel

[formal vigil]

damm all i used was cyrus may ex and falkner ex

[zealous karma]

That’s still a solid team 🦑

Omg

I didn’t use Kris

[sinful garden]

.

[zealous karma]

And Feralgatr
