and +2 crit mattered. š really debating on Sharp entry ngl
wouldve won but cyrus missed 3 pumps in a row 
You sure burn rn
Accuracy on Cyrus grid?
"not enough energy" game tells me, when i have over 2k sync orbs
i know have enough, the hell is "energy"
Energy is different from Sync Orbs, if thereās any tiles youāre not using deactivate then
looks like i cant type either
imma stream this to share my pain
Energy is basically a mechanic to make sure you donāt grab every tile at once
had to go for sleep to 3K grimsley, it felt as if i was fighting phoebe
Be honest with yourself: would you have used Siebold outside of this 1 fight?
..maybe..?
phoebe was easiest for me
sidney was my worst nightmare
glacia was just rng b**ch
pain
Original Critical Focus 
hold on let me check rules can you swear in this server? just lightly?
Hammer Arm just hits regardless lol.
Siebold did come in clutch in LG once because I used a really stupid team on Entei that couldnāt finish bar 3. That was the first and only time Iāve ever used him
phoebe when it was electric weka i had no way to ontype her, i had to go for urshifu + swampert + raichu
HAHA YES CRIT
If the situation calls for it otherwise I use other units, but Siebold fills in a nice niche I'd say for a quick first sync clear
Whoever gave Steel weak Glacia Sentry Entry should receive a disappointed letter
its aimed at someone but that someone is a character in the game's server so
a sadist

Are we getting an emoji for every Hammer Arm
Looks like it
Love it
Wasn't hammer arm this time
it was moreso the fact that he had a sliver of HP, then boop hammer arm
What round?
Note for future: take screenshots in Move level menu so there aren't flashing sprites on pairs
Oh youāre streaming! I just got home, Iāll pop in
Sabrina + Lucian + SS Ethan off-type?
Thank you all for your help, CS 10k is easy now because of your help :)!!
what a difference between grimsley and marshall, for grimsley i used deoxys and still needed to use sleep, marshall after a single sync from necrozma it was practically done
Really I think SS Ethan is the key, his team is whatās up in the air
5/5 elesa could clear cait
How to use the team?
She cant
Sabrina buff crit all, Lucian growl forever, Ethan kills
no electric terrain?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
At least with teams i used her in
Nope
Lucian spams Growl, SS Ethan alternates Trainer Move and Aeroblast (iirc), Sabrina gives buffs
No ss red nor volkner
kinda hard u could offtype tho
Seems i now will have to think of another teammate for iris
Skyla?

id rather go for something more useful, since i already got a potion user
u got lucian?
Lucian could work too, yeah
and tbh potion wont be useful considering i need to get that spdef as low as possible
u might want either adebuffer, or sync accel or something like cred
i wasted lucian on marshal
i wanted the sync accel, reason i was using deoxys, but after i had to use it for grimsley ill have to get something else
leon accels too
elesa was used on caitlin
I forgot. I am doing Master Mode
anything works

Shouldnāt matter too much except maybe for Sabrinaās survival
i believe that also, but after grimsley id rather go safe
yeah, but ive spent the whole day thinking of a way to beat grimsley without sleep nor a reset, and im almost sure i used it
seems i didnt, i got no reason to think about another option then, time to double sync
i already got ss brendan
just run anything dude
my grimsley team also lacked nothing, but it was tanky as hell
hell go use glacia idk
Will re-suggest Skyla for Speed and Defense since those stats would both benefit the team
God darn endure
CRIT WHY
Oof
Ugh, I was so close to 3.2k pts. on Iris
so close
yeah thats good
Fair
then just spam growl on lucian
I think thatāll trap the entire enemy team too
I used Aeroblast and not Sync Move
iris sure can be tanky too, it survived sync + max move
did u sync with brendan first?
kinda hard to sync with anything other than eternatus with that outrage
ā¦Is SS Serena that busted (mostly rhetorical question)? Because Thousand Waves + her Sync + Core Enforcer was all it took to KO Iris
be sure to have super efective up on leon before u max move as well
so use his tm, brendan sync, then max move
no way it doesnt die
Technically. On a half sync. You can solo Iris with Zerena. You just need to not eat an outrage.
I fricked up. I used Dire Hit all and not Sixth Sense
Yeah Zerena is broken. One of my favorite units to use in the game
Huh, ok then
Ooof
At the very end (when Caitlin will have little to no health) i will use either only attacking moves or heal
COME ONNNNN it's the rock slideeee
So close
I think I'll record my footage of my 15.2k pts. clear later
It's as I said, 15.2k pts. in CS total

2.8k on Grimsley, 2.9k on Shauntal and 3.2k on Marshal, Caitlin and Iris
Hmmm, wrong math
It's actually 15.3k pts.
This game fricking hates me
But 10k is max
IK, but you see some YTers go above 2k pts.
You can go over, it just doesnāt record it
I dont
Yeah, above 2k per stage is purely for a challenge run
Stomping Tantrum is alarmingly dangerous sometimes lol
I cant find the emoji right now
the random music playing is my mentality rn
Shauntal really gave me the most trouble
Bonanza music would be fitting
Because of critting SS Morty and my Cyrus keeps on missing
exploration music
Imagine Shenanigans playing
apiwjfrwlenjrfwhblkjefbjhlknwfbjinkfmw
Link, maybe more double teams would help? I know itās more turns but those rock slides are the worst
I was really bold enough to face Shauntal at 2.9k at R4 with SS Morty
Who are you doing again?
Round 1 Marshal with SSSteven only
Why not round 4?
because round 4 is for 1/5 SST Red
Im starting to hate this UI
fpor grimsley
But that only helps Grimsley
Admittedly I do think Red can handle a solo at 1/5 without sync countdown parameter
I hate preemptive fields the most
I accidentally leveled the theme skills
1000000%
Far worse things could have happened, fortunately
i can KO mid presync
Like?
it's the rock slide rng
Couldāve accidentally used up powerups or something
Oh
Human Luck: I sleep
AI Luck: ReAl ShIT
Right at this point there may be a better way to solo with Deoxys but Link has gotten so tantalizingly close
Iām invested
With Increse potentail and Lucky skills its diffrent a bit tho
If youāre gonna accidentally upgrade something, Theme Skills is one of the less terrible accidents
He's gotten close enough to believe it works. I still would rather bet on half sync.
Yeah, thatās what Iāll do for mine
Yeah but i never use Lucian so it was a waste
I wanted to lvl him up at least a bit
the half sync would not help max out SSSteven's spatk
Which is max as i can
Heās actually pretty darn useful, you might find yourself using him a lot more in the future
I did attack forme

Half sync with attack form though, survive and wipe out
With today i used him twice
And in the daily rotation but thats cuz i dont have a lot of Sinnoh sync pairs lvld up
All you need is luck rng to not get hammer armed first turn.
If he tries hammer arm and misses, best scenario 
Making me want to start on mine now. I donāt think I have 5 solos in me though
Maybe 3
Also I don't know if its a glitch bug or whatever. But in half sync, if you put both minus sync parameters, they only count as 1.
Like Marshal has to start with 2 turns no matter what you do. So that's free parameters.
(3 without anything)
2 with both parameters that decreases sync turn.
quadqueueing pain
Noted!
oh a jam
we gettin there
Nicee
JAM RUINED BY BURN 
Still easier than 3K offtype grimsley
Round 2 Shauntal was really annoying
Now time for Iris vs Iris
sad music
Shanutal was annoying, rest were pretty easy
acceptance music
Oops wrong channel
i had to invest a lot into guzma for grimsley
my only other good bug is lusamine but she's frail as hell
I tackled her with ZinniaMRayEx/Lyra/SSErika. It was a mistake.
Yeah. This week was easy. Now I'm looking forward to fire weak next weak. I want to try out my new SSRedEx.
did 1.6k for Iris, kept stackin HP up since i knew cynthia could stall her out anyways
If you have them, SSRed/Leon/SSMorty is a hilarious and fully functional wrecking ball of a team
This team actually can do 2k Iris post sync. Why don't you try against?
I don't. I'll try something of SSRedEx-Haymaker/User to max out att/Sun setter.
cause all it'd net me is 5 bp
Hey, 5bp is 5bp more than 0.
i'll prolly reset so i can get to 5500, caitlin is mostly brain dead since ash
How many points for each of the battles?
Or you can even aim for 7.5k. This week is too easy.
i'mmmmmabout to thrrooow my pghhhhhhonnnne 
š„²
wish I was around for lurking shadows reruns, giovanni needs it
Welp. Time to do 8k
Cuz idk if there are other ways to get these other than exchange
for now i was thinking of getting at least 1 ex per type
ice, rock, bug, are ones im struggling in rn
ROCK SLIDE 
Just do 10k.
Ice Ghetsis. The ex units are mostly limited. Same with rock and bug but Bugsy can work pretty well on bug weak stages. Nice nuke.
i got 3/5 guzma if thats any consolation
He can work. Not the brightest but a solid option.
I built Bugsy for LG and the numbers from sync nuke are nice.
shouldnt ghetsis be next EX for legendary/villains
Use Guzma with bugsy/scyther
Depends on the ark.
We might get Kalos or Galar next. We might even get Alola
Cyrus or Zinnia are great
COME ONNNNNNNNN
LITERALLY THE LAST ROCK SLIDE
A risky play is Cyrus, May, Lucian.
OH where'd my endure go?
ok, iron tail will be a KO
Yeah that was massive
Ill post a clear later if you want to check parameters:
- Shauntal: 3K
- Caitlin: 3.1K
- Grimsley: 3K
- Marshal: 3K
- Iris: 3K
xdvklhsdgfiubjfj THE FLICNH
omg flinch
Thunder still needs to 2hko after sync though. rough
hold on, i got an idea
epic para
kinda awkward buuuut.
unless i get hit by iron tail before sync
i wonder if i can KO mid with jus thunderbolt
Bruh
I have her but only 1/5 and non ex. Don't think I can solo with her
should i just EX Lyra 
Ss lyra?
I exed her just for stats
I mostly never sync with her
Less time flinching
soloing with her
Thanks to you guys, I was able to beat 7500 without using QuadQueue! No idea how I'm gonna get 10k tho
honestly, this might be the only duo i can really do.
actually wait, @grizzled hearth teach me your Syca solo 
Syc solo?! Don't you just keep slapping Horn Leech
yes
Think I'm gonna have to duo Shauntal and Grimsley. Don't have anything that can solo well enough on or off type
hmmm
Might have to TM first. Gauge will be tough until that +6 speed
guys, don't forget that for Victory screens, x damage shots or your 1000k screens/final teams, we have #1010274591601598555
(I think getting used to making a forum in stage clears is confusing for some)
Im pretty new but cs 10k is already to easy with those recent op units
What was your next goal after you guys cleard 10k?
12.5K followed by 15K
I've started doing solos and other dumb runs
Just did a duo on Shauntal. Dojo Gloria and Tech Gyarados

is there a recommended round to fight grimsley on?
don't really have any good bug strikers, so I'm probably going off type
Depends on your team. I fought him round 4
who'd you use?
Bianca and LuSSa
š¤
i'm also off typing bc what is good bug units LOL
First Impression moment
literally so useless
Imagine having a great move that you can't boost first
ugh idfk what to use for shauntal as well
man, trying to get to 10k makes the game much more interesting
especially since I missed last year's anniversary units due to taking a break ;u;
bruh i dont even have master mode yet i'm just tryna get my final type this time around 
started like a month ago xd
you'll get there in time
What types you still need?
literally only dragon rn LMAO
zinnia is free
was tryna finish it out last week but zinnia just wasn't working
Cyrus is free and better
hm
wow I completely forgot about Cyrus
screw it
I'll do 4.2k first
then if I have time later in the week I'll worry about 10k
Struggling with the champion rn. Trying to solo with Zerena but she won't survive this sync without some parameter adjustments
with sserena you should be able to do presync, what is your team
sounds quite painful
Currently doing a duo with ss leon
Oh, it has indeed been painful
and aaron ex his defensive buffs help a lot
Yeah literally any little bit of defense and I could easily win this with Serena still tanking
Dont know if someone like zinnia might be better
head in hands i literally don't know what to use for shauntal.
Managed to do 8k Mastermode on my 32 day old account
What water types have you got
None of my dam brut force is winning this dam fight against grimesly
if you got Ash he can do it without electric terrain
I used 2/5
garbage lol
You didn't do Psyduck event?
š¶
No I don't. RNG has not being good to me
Nessa can get it done with the right supports
would it really be worth for me to raise misty up lol
agony im already gonna offtype grimsley
Try something like Nessa, Hilbert, and Winona
hm
Nessa gets +2 crit on her own, Hilbert tops off attack and gives speed, Winona gives rain
She's good mostly when you can get 3/5
Alright I have to put down this Zerena solo for a bit. I'm trying all sorts of different parameters and it isn't working
Finally his ass is down
kind of yikes to use all three for one team if i'm being honest. š¬
unless you have other units that can work, if not, you may have severely limited yourself there
you limit yourself but instead you use the combo you want, a fair trade B)
I have others now I am stuck on Caitlin
Who do u have for the stage
This is what I am trying to use
Is that enough buffs for N
im guessing n is clicking x attack
do u have support ex?
be sure to set terrain as the last move before your sync with N
so that it lasts
I would hope so. Cobalion is for crit and move gauge. Luxray is for electric terrain and flinch and paralyze for sync nuke with Zekrom then I just use X attack with Zekrom
3/5 coba
Yes N. And no. I don't have support EX. still never needed to use it to clear content so far. That's why none of my supports are EX yet.
Some ppl choose to focus i guess 
ok sure then try using N super efective up and dont attack until u sync
n just need mpr on x atk with coba iirc
so u do more damage
honestly +4 atk is enough maybe
but if u have a physical support that gives crit it would be better than coba
Like bpraichu
ya
Imo volkner might be a better sync than N, whose biggest draw is his 4gauge atk
I also you coba for group defense debuffs
i ended up using some. strange combos lmao
but u dont even max your attack, honestly that comp works better for presync
Raichu does that too. Cobas biggest benefit that sets the 2 apart is the def debuff imo
btw now u can reset and do MM 
not really
master mode actually isnt that bad in Unova
it might have to do with your mechanics in game, not your units
so its definately possible
dont leave Shauntal for round 2 or 4 I found
not when ur only water units are garbage LOL
also electric with Ash and red
u have cyrus palkia lol
literally free unit
i used cyrus for iris
Palkia if you got orbs
nooo
so couldnt for shauntal
Idr what order i did my fights 
maybe ill try cyrus for water this time then
without EX yes

there are 2 zinnnias that should be able to clear
for bug u could offtype if u have strong masterfairs or broken stuff
ya i just offtyped bug
and electric well if u have red or ash its free as well
electric was free with just ny volkner for me LOL
I used Ash on bug and Red on electric
used red to offtype grimsley
ny volker also very free
u can definately do at least 4.2k mm
which gets u the rewards u really need
U could 10k if ssred is 3/5 ex and you have Lillie at 2/5
you really only need 4.5k points
yah
Group keeps getting killed on sync
bp points are ok but nothing that u should stress over
Yeah cobalion doesn't help with special defs
thonk
how is mid not ded
So you're gona want to smite her to death before she gets to sync
N takes 3 turns to x atk
that may be the reason

with sup ex u could sync with that and also buff N at the same time
and N just attacks
Thats a valid strategy too
Yeah SSRP is so broken it's hilarious. Dude carried my 7.5k run and pretty much singlehandedly cleared one of the E4 members.
Ye he's quite strong
I've posted my reroll teams here https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1021547272376430596
i did 2k on caitlin with only red
Had to take strength 6 off
SSCL is also a huge wall against most physical teams - Barely took any damage through my 1.5k Iris fight. Only thing that did any chunking was their sync moves, and they never reached their 2nd.
cynthia is insane yeap
her bulk and gives massive bulk
it even made lusamine tank a sync


It's just so on point ahahaha

Literally wheezing and crying
Whoever came up with that chef's kiss
https://streamable.com/de0pbz
Thatās the CS stage ever
Ayo
Me using kris was faster
Kris and totodile >>>>> Zerena
I lowkey want to do more Ash offtype solos. That was genuinely fun.
the sync accel for using max move is kinda broken
It's indeed quite nice
Annnnnd i soloed with Zerena
All support run this week was a fun challenge
Am I the only person who left shauntal for last 
well it doesn't matter, I think I left shauntal for r4 too
the only round that matters is round 2 with half sync countdown
Let me check
Yeah I left Shauntal for last too
Also yeah only round that matters is who you fight in round 2 under half sync. The rest donāt.
i fought grimsley r2 because sc emmet make damage go pew
Do you have Gio and mewtwo?
Donāt use optimize to build teams
Gio doesnāt need Ex he needs to exist
Gio clears psychic freely
Am I the only person who does marshal 3rd round
I did him round 4 for overkill
oh marshal 3rd round gang
phys dmg reduction š
bianca has psychic terrain so i'd say that
Spatk support
oh yeah that i keep forgetting he cant do that
What does that mean
I always use Roxanne witb gio
I traditionally used Liza
sabrina š
basically take someone who can buff his sp atk stat
Another question, does shauntal's will o wisp come with go viral 9?
crit isnt a problem since he can full buff that by himself but spatk is a problem
im pretty sure it is cause i almost got screwed over by it once
actually wait
was that shauntal or someone else
Ppl were saying physical strikes were at a disadvantage because of that
for shauntal and chandelure
ok ya im pretty sure it does have go viral
Yeah i loved nessa so i used her regardless
i remember going shitshitshistishist because everyone was dying to burn š
nessa good š
i have no nessa so i resorted to my good ol 5/5 may
Is xerneas support good for marshal tho
Not really, he needs a sync and he's more a spdef tank
what attacker are you using?
Gio & mewtwo
xerneas can fully buff mewtwo's spatk on sync but then again marshal is phys
but then xerneas is just that tanky that it doesnt matter 70% of the time just spam horn leech and win
Not bad but roxanne is a better option
What ab aaron & ves pique en
ss blue would work better if you could get that but ye
Vespiqueen
They have SS Blue but any physical tank will work
Roanne, Jasmine, Mistyduck, Dawn\
i hope u used that on grimsley
I used mistyduck on shauntal
I didnāt lol
Cuz its all about enduring that shauntal sync and then healing back up
I should have
shauntal sync kinda fucked ngl
xerneas and reshiram survived with like,,,, 10hp
but its all good may nuked her
It is
Took away 621 of my Nessa's 663 HP
Everything else survived comfortably enough, probably thanks to suicune's passives
slay š
oh ye btw how many points did u go for just curious
i go for 7.5k
idk if i'll try 10k but hm . it is Tempting
ouh nice
now that i think about it i probably should have gone 2k caitlin too cause sst red and n is overkill for 1.5k š
I put every defense and HP parameter up to 2k, and killed cait pre sync with red and ash
That's just how broken these units are together 
"sst red is a tech" yeah uh looks at his 6k damage on 2 gauge move
SS Leaf & Janine good to stall Marshall or Shauntal? Those two Iām finding some trouble right now lol
i kinda wanna pull for ash for the funny but then i feel like my electric dps will just get saturated
You have cyrus for shauntal?
Are you on master mode or n
do shauntal r3
ok good u can use cyrus for shaultal BUT keep in mind that you'll probably need another dragon dps for iris
cyrus is more water than dragon i feel
I have Zinnia
oh okay fair enough thats fine i dont think she needs ex anyways
ya just use zinnia and refer to the recommended grid
From the google doc right
ya that one
Whatās recommended to pair Cyrus with?
rain
for damage
he has crit focus on his grid so you dont need to care about that for the most part
Cyrus Roxanne Winona
Cyrus + a potioner + rain setuper
I have may
Cyrus Roxanne May
And get critical focus 2
may herself can also work as dps for shauntal tbf but she probably needs 3/5 for that i think
ah yes orbs my beloathed
patience š
do ur daily orb thing
ORBS!!!
and pray someone in lodge gives u orb
I think 2/5 is fine
At least she fully unlocks her Muddy Water grids
Oh ok
mm thats true
i cant really speak because mine is 5/5,,, but i shall take that piece of imformation and deposit into the bank
finally beat marshal 3 2k, needed a confusion proc from sabrina on primeape
ss dawn is basically used support ex until i get 2 more candies
Wait, you're actually doing above 2k pts. challenge?
Nice one, but go to #1010274591601598555
oh no, just 2k round 3
sorry the wording was bad
I am uhh a relatively enw player, played on launch and then have been playing for maybe a month now
definitely cannot do above 10k LMAO

but finally beat this though! only marshal was really an issue, everything else went pretty smooth
red is actually beyond broken
#1010274591601598555
oh oops sorry
Damn, my video is taking a while to upload in YT
I gotta ask, is there a certain order for how to defeat the opponents?
Like I usually do left/right first then central but should I be going Central first?
It's usually center first then sides
š Fk me I've been doing it wrong
Just don't die to the sides' AoE attacks
And also kill the center first before they sync
Alright I'll work on my teams for this week during my shift and try some stages later.
@keen jasper should I candy deoxys or ss may
I think we should discuss this at #poma-questions
Ok
For bug weak stages is Noland good
Should I invest on him
He's pretty good
As a F2P option
But so is Bugsy
Then whom should I power up
Either
So this is my first draft for teams this week.
Theoretically should these teams work?
Why have Giovanni and Oak?
I feel like psychic team might run into gauge issue at some point
Used giovanni for hard to get my unova medal done so thought he'd be useful again.
Sycamore is on that team because that's the team I used for last round of bug.
Ash is there as an additional dps with his b thunderbolt
Giovanni is useful, it's Oak that is weirdly hanging around
Ngl I did auto psychic and then added alakazam š won't lie saying I put a huge thought into that one
I'd probably swap oak for rosa/serperior for the sp atk boost
Then what is Sabrina for?
Crit boost + reflect?
Not very helpful
What about the ST Sp. Atk. boost?
I ask, what about her ST Sp. Atk. boost on her TM?
Please read the conversation slightly higher above that
This is the rest of what I've got, my lack of knowledge I'm struggling to think of someone else for the psychic team
Well what do you want them to do?
What do you want the team to do?
What is missing to achieve that?
Lucian/Gio/SSElesa works for psychic stage @plucky pewter
Lucian can growl everyone to get Gio's brainteaser going while also supplying speed support to everyone
Is zinnia EX a better dragon pair than Cyrus?
Cyrus without EX and grid
Grid expansion*
He has his grid, just not the expanded one
Elesa Sp atk MPR RNG is kinda weird but since yours is at 3/5 you can get the 50% (iirc) refresh chance
Asking mainly because I am considering to use Cyrus against shauntal
Zinnia in weather will do well
Alright thanks š
Only the last 2 weeks I've even tried CS since hadn't really been playing much.
I'm still learning the different "play styles" and how to set up for a units Max effectiveness etc.
So I don't 100% know what I want a team to do besides the obvious do damage
Lost my Cyrus run because he missed hydro pump 3 times in a row
Alright, when Cyrus aims, it's easy, at least
Now gotta see if Mewtwo can do 2k
Help Giovanni do damage then! Get his spatk up with one unit and the third can provide speed and tank.
Ash and red are so insane I offtyped bug while having alder
Having them really made my account much more solid
And now I know last week wasn't a fluke, now that I got 10k again
Good on ya
This week was uh...
Round 1 Caitlin with volkner, ash and Roxanne
Round 2 grimsley with SSelesa, SST red and skyla
Round 3 shauntal with SS Kris, Cyrus and marley
Round 4 marshall with Sabrina, Giovanni and ssblue
Round 5 with drake, zinniaEX and ingo
So, sadge I missed out on zinnia ex.. Started playing again when the rewards where like 3 days from leaving
Ex was good to deal with the remaining side
Timing on that stage was very strict
I think all of the parameters were presync
I picked them once and didn't change them
Aye managed to get 4200 done
For this week's stadium, 1. Could SygnaLusamine solo Marshal while carrying 2 fodders, and 2. Can Zygarde-Gloria beat Iris with one fodder and 1 support?
I ask about the fodder cuz im missing 3 types for hall of fame and these r the last two stages i have for this week as well as the last 2 good units i got.
Yes
Just to double check in case i end up weaker than u expected....will these teams work for their respective stages?
The first team will not have move gauge to work.
Second team doesn't need double damage dealers, you still need medals
If i swap out the trainer for gloria/zacian, will that fix the problem?
Also wdym by i still need medals? If ur referring to the 10/18, im technically on 15/18 since ive already cleared the other 3 elites.
Youād be putting in another striker
Are you missing only these 3 types
Yee
You're missing ice too
....crap.
Yeah....so only 2 stage.
Give me a moment
Hmm if you want "fodders" for Marshal to run alongside SS Lusamine you probably gonna do Trainer/Torchic, and Nanu (if you have masked royal that would be optimal)
As for the last one, Zerena, do you have Jasmine/Steelix?
Actually
Hop
Yeah, though just to check, should they be at a certain level to function or....
No, they can function at basic 1/5
Masked royal would be great as he buffs speed for whole team
Uh....i meant like actual level lol, some of them havent been touch since i pulled them...
Hmm
Just 100 if you're gonna carry with middle
It's crucial to get first sync before anyone dies
As Lusamine/Zerena real damage start then
So i have torchic, nanu, and jasmine but no masked royal....also who should be my ice fodder cuz i think thay type might be my biggest weakness...
Uh....was he from an event? Shop? Or story?
Ah...i'll get to that then, i havent done it yet ToT
Recommended to get all LA units as they are incredibly useful
Speaking of...would ghetis serve any purpose as my ice fodder or nah?
Other than him, i only got glalie and 3/4* units so my options r pretty limited lol.
Well guess Ghetsis will be fodder
I wanna beat Grimsley on Master Mode but have no good Bug units. Can an AoE nuker like SS Lusamine help?
Guess i'll be busy getting Hop and hoping it all ends well....Thanks a ton for all your help!!!
Yeah, need good team to support her though
No worries
You can off type if you donāt have bug units
^
So umm. I need help with Caitlin again
What team did you use against her?
None of the Pika duo?
None
Thats why i had to off type her yesterday
And i doubt i will have any of the Pika Duo
Why are you using Lucian?
Growl
Caitlin is special
Even more reason to replace Lucian
Use Elio to sleep chain
Should i have stat reduction?
Yeah
I normally have trouble using SS Ethan, He can only attack every second (yes I know his TM makes his attacks 2.2x as powerful so it may be another reason (probably lack of sync grid due to 1/5))
At least his TM makes his sync guaranteed crit
That's Caitlin right?
That pic yes
Ha, did you sleep the sides?
Oh well, I was gonna say that you should sleep the sides before you kill mid, but whatever works I guess
Here's all the appropriately levelled units I have at the moment.
Which ones can I use to off-type Grimsley?
What round is this?
Hilbert + Bea + other Support will probably work (having an EX Support would be ideal)
Oh, also is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?
Master Mode.
What round?
Uhhh....
I don't get it. 
Each Elite 4 member is a round, each round has its own unique parameter
So what place in the order are you fighting Grimsley?
Round 4.
Hmmmm, special damage increase
You could try on-typing with Lusamine/SS Brendan/Rosa
On-type?
Lusamine can on-type this week, though I did it with a different team and round 1
Ooooh nice. Thanks!
Aren't we talking about Grimsley?
Yeah, Bug weakness
Marshal has a Psychic weakness.
Hmmmm yeah got confused
Since she's EX it should be doable, if a bit close
Just make sure 1st Sync is with Rosa and you quadqueue
And also that Lusamine uses her Trainer Move twice so SS Brendan gets her to +3 crit
If that doesn't work after a couple attempts you can just try Bea/Hilbert/Skyla
Or maybe someone to boost Sp. Def instead of Skyla
Well you're not supposed to let the enemy Sync with Lusamine, but yeah, off-typing with Bea is probably a bit easier
Ya, lusamine is kinda terrible š
"Terrible" is a bit of an exaggeration. Her fragility is a problem, but I've been able to 2k most Bug weak CS stages (Bug weak Lucian, I hate you) with her.
She would very much appreciate extra grid tiles though, so hopefully she gets some soon
I found her to be a much better ice type than bug type, pre Kyurem/Crabominable days
She probably would work well for Ice weak stages, but I've yet to try her there
With a support EX, she wasn't bad.
But that was 1500 clears
I'm just glad I finally completed a 10k full support run š
I tried a few weeks back, but during Hoenn we stupid
i nearly win against shauntal, but sides kill if i don't flinch or one shot them, and i cant get burned, trapped or heat waved too much. its too much rng. anything i can change?
Winona is gridded for Aggravation for her Air Slash right?
Air Slash have MGR?
Doesnāt Cyrus have accuracy increase tiles in his grid?
Yeah, but only totals to 95 accuracy with both nodes
Yeah, just checked and he does
nvm i won
Lol
Nice
So I guess May canāt handle itā¦
But Winona PeliCAN
he even missed a hydro pump but flinch lasted on the sandcastle
I had to
yeah yeah im jk 
Anyways, iirc you have SS Morty and SS May, so those 2 + maybe SS Red (as iirc you also have him) or a 2nd Support can probably off-type, or (since iirc you have these 3 as well) Bianca + Sabrina + SS Steven
Assuming only Iris is left
Posted my full support clear #1021778676364345407
Yep, some of the newer Sync Pairs turn certain fights into jokes
I was almost defeated by Marshal at 3.2k pts. if it weren't for Bianca's Unfortuitous lowering Marshal's attack stat
That -1 attack stat and Protect made sure SS Steven completed mopped Marshal
so, which param is best for iris?
Depends on your team
Yeah, what is your team?
If youāre running physical then either increased Sync buff potency or physical shield, if youāre running special then any parameter except halved Sync countdown at start should be fine
running a zinniaex based team, so increased sync buff?
im thinking zinnia, ssmorty, and um
cant think if who i was gonna use for the last one
Could work, yeah. You have Hilbert available or nah?
Actually, lemme check Zinniaās kit
Sp. Atk. buffer
yeah don't think i have him
OG Lyra
yeah good for sun too
Since you have SS Morty for sun, she can provide +2 Sp. Atk. for Zinnia
Just be careful about Sp. Atk. drops if youāre doing Draco Meteor and grab Clearheaded from grid if youāre doing Outrage
Is screens the same as the one in cs?
Light Screen and Reflect? Yeah, same effect as the round parameters
sigh if only i had more cookies
i gave zinnia vigilance and skipped dauntless when i knew less š„²
Can always go Outrage build in a pinch
i guess
whats the point of lyra then lol?
i guess i can build a little bit for draco
so i can use it sometimes
Lyra buffs both Attack and Sp. Atk.
Can try both builds and see which one works better
And if she's 3/5, she can infinitely reapply sun
unfortunately just 1/5
but a lot more general pool 5* im getting their move levels up so that's good
You're still gonna bring Lyra with SS Morty anyways
thru pulls
yeah
ugh
i only got iris to half hp before her sync one shot my entire team. ssmorty was already gone by then.
Lyra buffs att/spa/spd by one stat and by two stats under sun. She can apply sun after sync and has a few defensive passives to work with when sun is on the field. Also she buffs crit rate. Through passives she can buff the crit rate to max without a need for TM MPR. Lastly she can apply light screen which halves the opponents special attacks power for 3 full turns. Not the bulkiest but works for special stages.
Note She's an ok-ish support even without sun.
What round effect did you choose?
It seems that Iris doesn't stat lowered attack stat mitigation (a.k.a Stout Heart)
more sync buffs
Who did you sync first?
Alright
first one
Hmm
I think +5 Sp. Atk. is enough
i was averaging 3k per outrage but sync came in and destroyed
Your SS Morty isn't 3/5 right?
If worst comes to worst you could test SS May off-type (just make sure you turn off stat drop immunity if you do)
i guess?
Does Zinnia have the grid tile that buffs Sync damage in weather?
sync damage?
i thought weather surge boost that too
She has another in her grid
Nope, Weather Surge is only regular moves
Though she does have a Weather Surge tile in her grid as well as the extra Sync damage in weather tile
this is all im able to do before i "run out of energy"
You can grab those 4 tiles on the sides of the initial hexagon, they donāt cost energy. Hold on, I just slapped together a grid for Draco Meteor while I was checking Zinnia, lemme go screenshot it
but i don't have dauntless
should i do presync parameters instead since her sync just wipes me out anyway?
You could test it. If youāre running Outrage the grid youāve got should be fine
Oh, thatās a good mixed grid
That's the outrage build, it's just slightly more optimazed than yours
so the 25 boost isnt good im starting to learn
It depends on the Sync Pair
PoMaTools is a PokƩmon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Actually this one is even better
The 25 is good but it depends if you can afford it or not
Something worth trying is to do the 1st turn order as Lyra Dire Hit All -> Zinnia action (whatever means you can do Sunny Day turn 1) -> SS Morty Sunny Day.
Unfortunately you canāt get 2 Syncs off before enemy Sync without Adrenaline due to the fixed round parameter, but that initial action order should let Zinnia Sync under Sun before it wears off
iris' parameter you mean? and why don't i have adrenaline?
is it on zinnia's grid?
Adrenaline on who?
SS Morty?
whoever has it on my team, i guess the move level is too low
Wait, Iām dumb and forgot Lyra has Light Screen
Well, SS Morty does have Adrenaline, but only at 3/5
You donāt need Adrenaline (which would need to be a Lucky Skill on Zinnia, apologies for Confusion)
You just need to make sure Lyra uses Light Screen before your 1st Sync if you want to quadqueue and get 2 Syncs before Iris can Sync once
Irisā fixed round parameter sets Light Screen at the start of the fight, so without a way to set it back up, itāll wear off right as you Sync and prevent quadqueue. But since Lyra has Light Screen, you can use that on her 2nd or 3rd action and preserve the ability to quadqueue
If youāre not running the 2nd grid Saisis suggested then switching to it could push you over the edge
it was worse the second time
nah im running it
but zinnia was one shot by sync this time
Running what?
The 2nd grid Saisis suggested
This one
Is Iris surviving 2nd Sync?
i dont have time lmao
i try to quadqueue or just queue in general
Are you at least trying to quad queue?
but slight gauge issues
..of course? why not?
Then use a TM
Does SS Morty have his Trainer Move MP Refresh tile?
i mean ill try again but if i use zinnia's tm again she will DEFINITELY die to sync if i cant kill iris before second sync
