Champion Stadium

[keen jasper]

Or not?

[obtuse hound]

nah

i don't have her

[toxic cobalt]

Personally I don’t see much value for Blaine with Silver I’d much rather run a buffer

[keen jasper]

Yeah, Silver only gets +2 crit and no attack buffs assuming their Silver isn't power boosted

[dusty path]

Or I guess you could try an evasion tank if you're desperate

[bleak eagle]

Is he? I legit dont know

[keen jasper]

He isn't

[bleak eagle]

[keen jasper]

Unfortunately

[bleak eagle]

Gg no 10k

[keen jasper]

So you need a buffer for Silver

[dusty path]

I still don't get how you're running postsync (mostly defensive?) parameters and still getting oneshot

[bleak eagle]

so a buffer for silver

like who

[toxic cobalt]

Torchic Silver Marley is my classic team but no doubt you can find better pairs

[bleak eagle]

should i send my collection? of fire types at least

[toxic cobalt]

Doesn’t have to be fire type

What is silvers lucky skill?

[bleak eagle]

critical strike two

[dusty path]

I ran Shauntal round 1 with Maxie SSSerena and SCLillie fully offensive parameters... Only got close to dying from the sync

[toxic cobalt]

Then hop or Bp surge is great

[keen jasper]

I just destroyed Shauntal at R1 with SS Giovanni

[toxic cobalt]

Oooor 3/5 Hilbert

[obtuse hound]

ok im having major gauge issues

with this team

thats why i can't win

[keen jasper]

What's your team again?

[obtuse hound]

ssgio / courtney ex / ssbrendan ex

[bleak eagle]

if i use hilbert with them, then who would i use on the champion team?

sorry for the ping, oops

[keen jasper]

Is SS Brendan the first target?

[obtuse hound]

well unfortunately i have none of those pairs

[obtuse hound]

yes

[toxic cobalt]

Don’t understand the question

[obtuse hound]

but gauge

is the issue

otherwise i could megakick and bulldoze shauntal into oblivion

i think

[bleak eagle]

if i put hilbert on the team with silver, then who will replace hilbert in the champion teaam?

[dusty path]

I get that, I was just saying I got some SpDef and only got close to dying from the sync

[toxic cobalt]

What’s the champion team

[bleak eagle]

ex aura cynthia, ex bea, hilbert

[toxic cobalt]

I mean you can run hop or Bp surge like I said

[obtuse hound]

same except for ssgio he was onesbot

[toxic cobalt]

Hilbert just replaces Marley too

[toxic cobalt]

Uh lol run literally anyone

[dusty path]

I suppose you could try Sycamore for your first sync??

[boreal rose]

Could someone help me with round 2 1500 points?

[dusty path]

idk throwing ideas here

[obtuse hound]

i need him for marshal

i just need

to solve my gauge issue

[bleak eagle]

i see, what about the rounds?

i tried killing anyone on round two and got utterly

destroyed

[dusty path]

Well what team speed buff options do you have?

[toxic cobalt]

Can always sycamore Shauntal to death

[dusty path]

Or move gauge acceleration options

[sick inlet]

So... iris gets perma crit defense when you use perma field effect

This took longer than I anticipated

Look at all the permas on her

[dusty path]

I didn't even notice that XD

[obtuse hound]

maybe 10k is impossible this week

even if i didn't have gauge issues

shauntal one shots per move

[dusty path]

You can always offtype

[sick inlet]

How so? What you using for Shaintal?

[obtuse hound]

ssgio sscourtney and now skyla

and

r1

and

postsync

[dusty path]

Skyla is good for speed, but won't be helping you survive in this case...

Such a dilemma...

[sick inlet]

Skyla won't defend you from special attack

[bleak eagle]

How so?

[sick inlet]

Stall

Forever

[bleak eagle]

Is that even possible

[sick inlet]

Sycamore is scary

[bleak eagle]

What grid

Cuz im 100% sure i dont have the correct one

[sick inlet]

Recuperation+Hornleech

[boreal rose]

Could someone help me please?

[toxic cobalt]

Sycamore can easily take down Shanutal this week

Alright I'm giving up on Hapu. What a shame.

[boreal rose]

Who would be best to fight at r2?

[tired sleet]

Your strongest on type imo

[boreal rose]

Uuuuuuu

I dont think i have any

[dusty path]

Fire type probably XD

But apart from that...

Maxie is pretty strong

[boreal rose]

He will get 1 dhot

And i did fire type already

[dusty path]

Yep

How good is Lunala?

I'd imagine pretty good since anni unit, but...

[boreal rose]

Idk

She didnt do enough on 850 tho

[toxic cobalt]

Lunala? Amazing unit.

Is she gridded?

[boreal rose]

Yep

I put a Moonblast grid on her just for that battle

[toxic cobalt]

Should work. Surprised it didn't.

[boreal rose]

She is Ghost Type so she shines the most in ghost weak i think

Also idk who should be the support for her

I put Sycamore and Gloria last time

Sycamore cuz of beinf a support

And Gloria to deal Fairy damage

Sadly she is 1/5 so she doesnt do a lot and i cant grid her much

[dusty path]

Oh Zacian Gloria?

[boreal rose]

Ye

Gloria, Uraraka, Gloria

[dusty path]

Ochako?

I don't get it...

[boreal rose]

Summer Gloria kinda looks like her

[dusty path]

Oh okay

Kinda yeah, I just never thought about it I guess

[dusty path]

Ye

[dusty path]

I get the 'X' s mean you've used the unit, but what are the lines on the left side? Next to Bea Plumeria Grimsley and Hop

Unless you are planning to use Bea and Wally for Iris, Sidney for Caitlin and Sycamore for Marshal?

[manic kiln]

next month

and yes 2 rock weak Blue in a row

[keen jasper]

I'll get my 18/18 next week and be on my merry way

[boreal rose]

So that i know which picture to use

[dusty path]

Oh alright

[keen jasper]

Also, double fairy-weak Lance

[dusty path]

What's 18/18 for?

[keen jasper]

Because I haven't completed it yet when I first started playing

[manic kiln]

well they have new fairy to sell

[dusty path]

Oh the type medal?

[keen jasper]

[dusty path]

nice

[boreal rose]

I love how Lorelei and Lance have 2 types that are twice

And Agatha

[boreal rose]

Also. When this but in Hard Mode (idk if it ever is)

I mean these types

[vital gazelle]

does caitlin take like absolutely no damage from spatk moves or is that just me

[keen jasper]

Yo, can some one pin this?
#1009554906568462476 message

[vital gazelle]

i triple checked params and i haven't got anything stupid on

[dusty path]

No that was me too...
I had to check and it even suggests physical moves XD

So that's meant to happen

[vital gazelle]

i'm trying to nuke with power boosted houndoom

for fun

and it's not giving me anything lmao

[vital gazelle]

but there has to be a reason... does she have wise entry x2???

[dusty path]

Yeah I hope it turns out it's just this CS making it look bad, and the power boost is actually good

[boreal rose]

@tribal agate (sorry for ping if you were doing something)

[dusty path]

Battle Hints says they just have high special defense

[tribal agate]

no worries, thank you for the notice

[boreal rose]

Optimize moment

[sinful garden]

my houndoom sync did 11k on her but before that she did resist a lot

[stuck cosmos]

Having difficulties with dark. Caitlin wipes everyone on first sync. These are my options

[dusty path]

I'm afraid I offtyped Caitlin too...

[simple storm]

U have summer N

[boreal rose]

I think N works. Idk as i dont have him but i heard he is strong

[simple storm]

How are u having issues

[sinful garden]

you have dark zone and summer N you should sweep easily

[keen jasper]

My teams for next week after I unlock MM

[boreal rose]

Lorlei is overkill.

I think

[dusty path]

I hope you didn't pick the no status conditions parameter...

[keen jasper]

You're definitely correct

[boreal rose]

Lillie

[keen jasper]

What about her?

[vital gazelle]

yeah idk it's weird

[boreal rose]

Twice

Same lillie is used twice

[keen jasper]

No, look carefully

[boreal rose]

Oh

[dusty path]

Weekly region rotation isn't CS

[keen jasper]

I know that

[boreal rose]

I never make regional rotation team so yeah

[keen jasper]

I'm too lazy to cross out my weekly regional rotation team

[boreal rose]

Same

But i use optimize sooo

[dusty path]

I was just explaining what I think Applin missed

[boreal rose]

Optimize is kinda annoying on 1500

[dusty path]

I try use pairs I need to level up...

[keen jasper]

Anyways, I'm gonna record my clear on Lance with SS Wally

Best boy finally has an alt

[dusty path]

Current level up team is Maxie and Archie, with SSMay (I had Evelyn for Kalos tho)

[keen jasper]

[boreal rose]

What would Lillie need? Cuz im thinking of using Lillie, Sycamore but idk my 3rd member

[keen jasper]

Lodge Lillie?

[boreal rose]

Characters

[boreal rose]

Anni

Forgot there are multiple

[keen jasper]

Maybe a Sp. Def. debuffer

[boreal rose]

Like who

[keen jasper]

Lucian

Or maybe a crit buffer to further sustain Sycamore

[dusty path]

Or a Def buffer (if Lucian doesn't debuff Atk enough) to survive accelerated sync

[boreal rose]

Lucian lowers attack

Oh wait

I hate the fact the skills dont count in the options

You choose a sp def debuffer? You only see the ones that debuff it with an attack and it says it does

[dusty path]

Yeah, I forgot about that because I tried it and it didn't work for me... Probably because CS has passive skills that lessen debuffs

[keen jasper]

I mean besides Lucian, who else can on-demand AoE Sp. Def. debuff?

[dusty path]

AoE? Nothing comes to mind

[boreal rose]

Whats AOE

[dusty path]

Area of Effect

[keen jasper]

Area of Effect

[boreal rose]

Oh

That tells me nothing but also something xD

[keen jasper]

It just means more than one target

[dusty path]

Affects everything in an area (in this case, all opponents)

[tired sleet]

@keen jasper smh double rock weak

[stuck cosmos]

I saw notification replies to my post but I have no clue where they went. Either way thanks I cleared

[keen jasper]

I mean there's also Thunderbolt Red, but he's limited so....

[tired sleet]

How am I gonna do the 18 types week 2

[main crow]

your dark lineup is stacked idk how ur having trouble unless you use no status condition parameter/don't sleep chain

your team can easily wipe her

[steel kelp]

What round is it?

[dusty path]

Oh yeah he does both defenses... Most opponents just don't survive long enough for it to max out the debuff XD

[steel kelp]

I had trouble with Caitlin and I had summer N

[stuck cosmos]

First time doing dark with Cyrus as just got him. Never really used summer N.

[steel kelp]

But it was round 2

[boreal rose]

Im a fvcking idiot

[dusty path]

Caitlin is resistant to special moves

[boreal rose]

I wamna debuff with no stat reduction

[keen jasper]

Yet I used Karen against her

[dusty path]

XD don't worry I've done that a few times

[boreal rose]

Tho Lillie did 5k now

[dusty path]

As well as tryna sleep chain with SSCyrus with no status conditions

[dusty path]

I take it you mean just Houndoom?

[keen jasper]

Ye

[dusty path]

I think you said before so yeah

[stuck cosmos]

Is bede a better option than diantha for fairy?

[keen jasper]

Karen is also convenient against Caitlin because she has -2 AoE Sp. Atk. debuff

[dusty path]

Yeah ok, coz she also has umbreon which is physical, so could've gone either way

[keen jasper]

Bede does debuffs while Diantha does damage

[zealous karma]

They work better together

Might want a gauge support like SSB

[tired sleet]

Is the lycanroc 1/5 good enough to do hard mode?

[dusty path]

Most techs have their main source of damage as nukes with their sync, instead of a decent move

[tired sleet]

I have both

[zealous karma]

Which lycanroc

[keen jasper]

Or SS Morty

[tired sleet]

Yes.

[zealous karma]

Well there’s no rock week stage unless you Plan to off type 1/5

[keen jasper]

Olivia I presume?

[tired sleet]

I have 2

I forgor the name

Olivia and kukui

Ya

Those 2 both have the exact mon

[steel kelp]

Different form

[dusty path]

Technically different forms, but anyway

[keen jasper]

But they have different names and looks

[steel kelp]

Totally different

[dusty path]

They both evolved from the same, yes

But other than that, it's almost like gallade and gardevoir

[tired sleet]

Are they sufficient to clear hard

[keen jasper]

We still don't have dusk Lycanroc

[dusty path]

Hard should be easy enough

[tired sleet]

Should be right offtype twice Is gonna mess up type

[dusty path]

Dusk*

Kukui is midday

[tired sleet]

I'm gonna mess up somehow next week and get like 11 or something

[keen jasper]

Oh yeah, and Olivia's is midnight

[tired sleet]

Ash should get dusk

🏃

[dusty path]

Ash should get a lot of different ones... Unlikely though

[steel kelp]

As long as you get all types does it matter you get less than normal first run?

[keen jasper]

Double fairy-weak Lance, Wally's gonna have some fun

[dusty path]

I wonder when Diantha is coming back again, for the double gardevoir

[tired sleet]

2 weeks clear better than 3

[keen jasper]

I just need 6 more types

To unlock this region's MM

[steel kelp]

It’s not like you can’t get the other 7 week 2

[dusty path]

You can't get all 18 types with only 15 possible per week (5 battles with 3 each)

[steel kelp]

No idea why it would take 3 weeks

[dusty path]

3 weeks if you miss some the first 2

[tired sleet]

Ahh dark

I have to offtype that too

[dusty path]

SS Wally is in 2 resets, right?

This is exciting

[keen jasper]

Also, Wally and Lodge Lillie are a literal perfect combination

[tired sleet]

Not pulling wally just for this lol

[keen jasper]

Me needs a good fairy-type damage dealer so yeah

[tired sleet]

I should respec my sycamore to fairy attacker lol

[dusty path]

Yeah he isn't a dps, he boosts other fairy-types damage output as well as debuffs Atk&SpAtk (If you have another mega? Not sure if his counts toward his buddy move)

[keen jasper]

Oh I just realized something

[weak sleet]

Is Kanto an easy stadium? Hoenn was so hard....

[keen jasper]

I said a while ago that I wanted Lodge Lillie to have Pecking Order, when in fact, it should be Devastation

[mellow linden]

Kanto was the 1st CS, it's very outdated

[weak sleet]

Well that's good I'm guessing

[mellow linden]

So very easy compared to Hoenn, especially if you have some of the newer pairs

[dusty path]

Hoenn was worst for me, then Sinnoh... I would say Kanto is pretty easy if they haven't changed it up

[keen jasper]

Lodge Lillie and SS Wally were made for each other

[sinful garden]

is sswally the only new pair with a buddy move

[stuck cosmos]

Aura cynthia and keldo are just something else. Iris went down quickly

[steel kelp]

Aura Cynthia just kinda does whatever she wants

So any fighting striker just gets to roll over anything with her

[dusty path]

I'm not sure, admittedly I haven't looked into anything else

[trail smelt]

Ah time to make monoteams

sees fairy weak Lance

NOPE

[keen jasper]

Unless they introduce a new mechanic or they increase the difficulty, mono fairy Lance should be easy

[swift swan]

nah, Kanto is easy

the only difficult Kanto battle I can remember is Fighting-weak Lorelei with all that evasion bullshit

[boreal rose]

I wish i had courtney

She would made Ground weak easy

[boreal rose]

Yeah. I also hate fairy weak

Maybe cuz my best fairy damage dealer is lillie

Anni lillie

[trail smelt]

Oh actually if Lance likes to spam special attacks I might fare better

[toxic cobalt]

Literally the second best fairy striker

[boreal rose]

I disagree

[toxic cobalt]

[plush tangle]

Why did they give evasion buffs to marshal

[toxic cobalt]

Did they? I didn't notice.

When do they proc?

[plush tangle]

on entry

+2

[steel kelp]

Wait they did?

[trail smelt]

Bastard made it hell for me Fairy monotyping Marshall

[steel kelp]

I wasn’t paying attention

[toxic cobalt]

Guess I was lucky

[plush tangle]

dude literally dodging all my psycho boosts

[steel kelp]

I just off typed

[plush tangle]

took me 4~5 attemps to land the only 2 psycho boosts I needed

well psycho boost is off type

I said 4~5 ? I wanted to say 7

[boreal rose]

Why was Unova CS pinned?

Anywaym who to do on r3

[toxic cobalt]

Because it is running now

[sick inlet]

Because it's still running

[boreal rose]

Oh

I forgor its Unova

Also was Alder twice?

[toxic cobalt]

What do you have field effects for?

[boreal rose]

Cuz it started with Iris right?

[boreal rose]

Zone's, wish's and terrain?

Psychic

[steel kelp]

Weather too

That also counts

[boreal rose]

Yeah

[toxic cobalt]

I mean, do you have any in either your Shauntal or Caitlin team?

[boreal rose]

As in Courney or SSCyrus?

No

[steel kelp]

Do you have Bertha

[boreal rose]

No

[toxic cobalt]

Then do your stronger team r4 as harder to quadqueue there

[boreal rose]

I dont have a stronger team

Both will auck

[toxic cobalt]

Well, do what you can

[boreal rose]

Well at least Ground weak

Cuz Maxie is eh at 1/5 and not ex

[toxic cobalt]

Maxie is fine just buff his speed

[boreal rose]

Nita?

She buffs it by 4

I has a Groudon, Holiday Rosa, Nita

[toxic cobalt]

Sure

Nita is good

[boreal rose]

Im mostly scared about Iris

[toxic cobalt]

Well, if you can maintain her gauge

[boreal rose]

Wdym?

[toxic cobalt]

Nita has a 3 bar which can be a bit tricky

[boreal rose]

Yeah

But Holdiay rosa has that aceleratipn

And on r3 it will be on forever

[toxic cobalt]

Oh yeah. Then it will work

Infinite field params are the best

[boreal rose]

GROUDON DIES

To first sync

[steel kelp]

Is it post sync or pre sync param?

[sick inlet]

Hmmm 🤔

[boreal rose]

Post 1500 i think

Or pre i forgot

[sick inlet]

I used post-ish sync parameter, and only Groudon + Courtney

[boreal rose]

Presync

[sick inlet]

Shantaul was dead pre sync

[steel kelp]

Maybe change to post

[boreal rose]

I have almost no ground units that are pullable

[steel kelp]

Or give pre a few more shots

[sick inlet]

You don't need courtney, change your Parameters

Groudon is fragile

Pre sync will ruin him

[toxic cobalt]

This is why you never let them sync

[sick inlet]

^

Your goal for postsync is to also not let them sync

[steel kelp]

So what you’re saying is kill or kill?

[bleak eagle]

Hi hi

So uh

[plush tangle]

I hate grimsley

[bleak eagle]

Im having far too much difficulty killing caitlin and grimsley

And prob marshall but i havrnt even gotten to that point yet which is scary

[toxic cobalt]

Can you do : #1011675077764456519 message

[sick inlet]

Mf ruined my double hooh

[boreal rose]

Make my groudon 2048204738 times stronger then

And me smarter

Honestly i learned that Maxie doesnt have to use his ,,main tm" with this team i think

The Expand the land one

Cuz it lowers his def right?

Def and sp def it hink

And Nita raises attack by 4

[toxic cobalt]

No point using it if your attack is buffed by Nita

[boreal rose]

And also Holday rosa raises it by 2 with one x attack all

[toxic cobalt]

Although you can use it to secure the quadqueue if you want

[boreal rose]

That the only reason i will use it i think

[bleak eagle]

What could i use instead of your tauros? Dont have him

[boreal rose]

But even if i cant beat Shauntal

[plush tangle]

Stupid hitmonlee can't survive a single sync at +5 defense

[boreal rose]

Im starting to give up

[toxic cobalt]

lmao anyone. Preferably someone who buffs speed but anyone.

[toxic cobalt]

Egg problems

[boreal rose]

I KEEP USING THE WRONG MOVES

[toxic cobalt]

I want to stress these are really basic teams and you might have better pairs

But a good starting framework

[boreal rose]

I wish 1/5 Cynthia was strong

[sick inlet]

How many * is that lee

[plush tangle]

3

but it was against grimsley

guess i'll have to stop my funny streak

[sick inlet]

I am not gonna do my solo runs this week because anytime i am on masters now i am in the gauntlet screen

Literally lol.

[toxic cobalt]

Fair

[boreal rose]

The streak

Also why

I hate shauntal so fricking much

Maxie too

[sick inlet]

What is your maxie move level?

[boreal rose]

1

And candy coin is idk. 18

[sick inlet]

Naw

[boreal rose]

Oh wait no

[sick inlet]

I mean he's great at 3/5

But not necessary for this I suppose

[boreal rose]

I can make Maxie 2/5

[toxic cobalt]

Can you screenshot the battle

I want to see this 1/5 Maxie lose

[plush tangle]

tfw I can't off type grimsley in 2v3

unless I send something stupid like ss serena and lucas

[boreal rose]

For that purpose no

Is there someome that does similiar stuff to Holdiay rosa?

Which is buff attack and apply move guage acceleration

[bleak eagle]

How am i losing with a v f2p comp

My god, marshall, i hope u die on a ditch

[boreal rose]

Me but with Shauntal

[toxic cobalt]

What's your comp?

[boreal rose]

And Caitlin last week

[sick inlet]

HRosa, Maxie and Nita?

[toxic cobalt]

That's a lot of stamina

[fringe valve]

Was not expecting that hyper beam from kaitlin

[toxic cobalt]

Okay first of all are you abusing Darach for the free 150 points crit shield?

[sick inlet]

During rally

[bleak eagle]

What

[sick inlet]

Darach can remove all field effects

Permanent or not

Using his amazingly reliable Defog.

[plush tangle]

Even that didn't work wtf

[fringe valve]

Does kaitlin have higher special defense?

[plush tangle]

yes

[sick inlet]

SS Morty and Anni N does it

[toxic cobalt]

The head, it is too iron

[fringe valve]

Took longer for me to beat her with steven

[sick inlet]

Psychic Vs Psychic

[plush tangle]

Who and who ?

[bleak eagle]

I mean shpuld i even do marshall round 1? Maybe im just choosing the wrong round to do so

[sick inlet]

[toxic cobalt]

Round 1 field parameter not too important

The real question is are you managing to quadqueue?

[plush tangle]

Ok how do I beat grimsley wtf

it's time to send the free win button

ss lyra go

[boreal rose]

On Shauntal yes

[obtuse hound]

shouldnt save for marshal??

if not who else should i use for r1 shauntal

[toxic cobalt]

Marshall is a physical attacker Sycamore will get smushed

[sick inlet]

I would say you don't need both Nita and HRosa on that team

Probably something else would benefit you more

[bleak eagle]

The what

[toxic cobalt]

Do you get two syncs in before their sync?

By queueing up a third move right after your sync?

[boreal rose]

What then

[obtuse hound]

who can i use with sycamore for r1 shauntal

like

hmm..

[austere quest]

Caitlin is so annoying

I can’t seem to clear her R1 at 2k

[sick inlet]

What are your options?

[austere quest]

Going to bring the difficulty down and just accept no 10k right off the bat

[toxic cobalt]

What is your team?

[austere quest]

Wish she stayed Lightning weak so I could speed through this week

[boreal rose]

Ground?

[sick inlet]

In general

You already using groundon

The rest doesn't need to be ground

Maybe a unit that benefits in the sun

[boreal rose]

Hmm

No one

I think

Well

Serena?

Or SSErika

Those are the only options

[bleak eagle]

I am utterly defeated by this mm

I have 37 spirits, i need 13 more

[toxic cobalt]

Which stage what team?

[bleak eagle]

All stages all teams, i try to defeat one, fail, move to the next

[austere quest]

Managed to easy dub Caitlin at 1700

[toxic cobalt]

Well...pick one

[austere quest]

So 300 off from 10k

[bleak eagle]

How much spiritd does one get at 8k?

[boreal rose]

I have 30 and need 20. I feel ur pain

[boreal rose]

10

Well 20

I think

10 is just the 8k one

[bleak eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-meme-genshin-impact-gif-25430945

[boreal rose]

From earlier 20

In Total

[toxic cobalt]

Didn’t even get second sync crit

If you do, much easier

A refresh on the Darach tm would be nice too but can’t have everything

[sick inlet]

Lyra, can completely replace nita, while you can add additional Erika

[tranquil bluff]

why is Blue weak to Rock for two weeks in a row

[boreal rose]

Beacuse Pidgeot's weakness is rock

Im not happy about it but still

[boreal rose]

But fr i think its cuz of Gordie

Cuz Unova CS ends at 2nd and gordie starts at 3rd

[austere quest]

For some reason I am finding this week much harder

Already completed 7500k though

[toxic cobalt]

This week has some annoying post-sync effects

[sharp totem]

well there we go

master mode might not be as fun as last weeks

really only struggled with caitlin, marshall might be rough once pikachu cant one shot with B thunderbolt

[trail smelt]

I picked a bad week to monotype honestly lol

Why another goddamn fairy next week tho

[keen jasper]

Because SS Wally

[boreal rose]

which? BP, normal or Sygna Suit

[little crag]

Hi, for the fire stage I'm thinking about using SS may and ss Morty, any third unit idea?

[boreal rose]

shauntal has overheat

[keen jasper]

Someone to further drop enemy defenses

Like Kiawe or Kukui

[trail smelt]

You can also drop in Silver for infinite sun haha

[boreal rose]

Master Mode or Hard Mode? And which Round

[trail smelt]

Ready for next week

[little crag]

Who? 😅

I'm quite new, btw

[keen jasper]

Kiawe/Alolan Marowak or Kukui/Midday Lycanroc

But mainly Kiawe since he can complete SS May's stats

[toxic cobalt]

SS May could use some speed

[keen jasper]

Yeah, definitely Kiawe

[boreal rose]

They said they think of using SSMay and SSMorty

[keen jasper]

SS Morty/SS May/Kiawe

[eternal escarp]

How is Caitlin genuinely difficult wtf

[boreal rose]

Idk i havent checked

[keen jasper]

What round are you doing her?

[toxic cobalt]

True, Smorty could perhaps manage with well timed believe

[steel kelp]

Well depends on the round is part of it

[boreal rose]

Shauntal is hard as frick

[eternal escarp]

4

[steel kelp]

Also her setting up psychic terrain

[keen jasper]

Round 4 is Reflect

[toxic cobalt]

She does? When?

[keen jasper]

Would've been perfect for Marshal or Grimsley

[keen jasper]

After her first sync

[toxic cobalt]

Nah reflect is garbage it doesn’t even affect your first sync most of the time

[steel kelp]

That’s partly on me for doing her round 3

[toxic cobalt]

You really want to presync Caitlin then

[keen jasper]

But at the same time, Marshal does Brick Break so Round 4 against him is useless

But it depends if he will do it or not

[toxic cobalt]

Frankly you want to presync most of them. Marshall giving himself endurance was far more annoying than it should have been.

[keen jasper]

I was honestly lucky with critting on Lillie's sync with only +2 crit

I just really wished Lillie had Devastation in her grid

[little crag]

Oh I do have kiawe

[keen jasper]

Oh cool

You don't even need to grid Kiawe

[austere quest]

Still needing to beat Iris, probably going to be fine with less than 10k

[little crag]

I have him 135

[steel kelp]

Iris isn’t as bad as caitlyn or marshal

[little crag]

Is that enough?

[toxic cobalt]

Just use MC Solgaleo

Punches super hard

[little crag]

I've mayziken 150, ss Morty 135 and kiawe 135

[keen jasper]

Even at level 100 is fine

[steel kelp]

Also solgaleo exists

[little crag]

Okayyy, last question how would I play this team? Like who do I sync with first etc

[steel kelp]

I keep forgetting about the trainer pairs

[keen jasper]

Is your SS Morty or Kiawe EX-ed?

[little crag]

Nop

Neither are

[keen jasper]

Then only sync with SS May

[little crag]

I'm EXing ss Brendan first

[toxic cobalt]

Iris literally focus blast weak

[steel kelp]

Yeah but my first thought was bea

She comes to mind first for me with fighting

Or sc diantha

[keen jasper]

Well, SC Diantha is special

And Iris has preemptive -2 attack to your team

[toxic cobalt]

Yep, this would work too

Obviously much rarer than MC Solgaleo

[keen jasper]

And also, SC Diantha can steal 3 stats at once

[little crag]

Got my ass whooped

Do I suck that bad at the game

Damn

[keen jasper]

How did you die?

[little crag]

💀

Sync

[steel kelp]

Well what are you doing

[little crag]

I'm going for 2k

[sick inlet]

Yeah, I know, the idea is to buff your whole team to massacre them before she does you in. And I was talking Normal Lyra with SSErika

[toxic cobalt]

Managing to triple queue ?

[keen jasper]

Your team can literally do 2 syncs at once before your enemy does, how are you ducking this up?

[toxic cobalt]

Please be a bit more gentle with new players

[little crag]

Idk how you do 2 syncs lmao

💀

[steel kelp]

Are you doing triple queue minimum?

[keen jasper]

May has -4 sync cooldown on her TM

Well, -4 total

On her passive and on her TM

[trail smelt]

Keep 1 TM use for after your first sync

[little crag]

Yes that's pretty easy

[little crag]

To quad queue, right?

[trail smelt]

So you don’t need to quad queue

[little crag]

Eh

[toxic cobalt]

Well getting the -1 means you don’t need to quad queue

[little crag]

💀

[trail smelt]

Maths baby

[keen jasper]

You can sync on the 2nd turn already using May's TM

[trail smelt]

Actually yeah so no need to save it haha

So not sure how you can’t double sync

[toxic cobalt]

Busted unit

[keen jasper]

Also, are you applying Sunny Day?

It increases SS May's damage a whole ton

[little crag]

Ofc

I do around 3k per kick with may

[mystic pier]

So close to Beating Caitlin with Zero Damage taken at the end, but no, she had to ult last second and do a little damage and ruin my fun.

[keen jasper]

Your SS May is only 1/5 right?

[little crag]

Yup

I do have a candy ready tho

[keen jasper]

I wish I had her so I can demonstrate to you

[little crag]

💀

[austere quest]

Got 9k

[little crag]

I really do suck at this game

[austere quest]

Same

[toxic cobalt]

Can you screenshot just before your first sync?

Also do you have action order on?

[little crag]

Yes I do

[toxic cobalt]

Helps with the screenshot

[keen jasper]

Or even better, video it

[toxic cobalt]

This isn’t round 2 right?

[steel kelp]

Grim round 2?

[little crag]

Gotta eat, brb

[keen jasper]

Why are you using her Dire Hit All+ when Kiawe and SS Morty provide crit for her?

[toxic cobalt]

Huh. How is literally nothing queued up? Not even the opponent.

[keen jasper]

Wow, I just noticed that just now. Pretty weird

[steel kelp]

Enemy not doing anything is just weird

[toxic cobalt]

Peace

[keen jasper]

It's not even showing the enemy move

[magic crown]

I prepared my teams for Kanto next week any suggestions or do they look good

[toxic cobalt]

Anyway should easily get a second sync based on that screenshot

[keen jasper]

Master or Hard?

[magic crown]

Master

[keen jasper]

Seems fine

[magic crown]

I have some units that are better like ss gio but I already used him this week and wanted Cynthia to have some action

And karen

To

[little crag]

Idk man 😭

[little crag]

I stopped queing stuff for the screenshot ahah

[keen jasper]

Alright then, show us a video of your clear and we can probably tell when you did wrong

[toxic cobalt]

Should win from that screenshot with triple queueing

So yeah hard to know what is happening

[trail smelt]

Oh yeah actually I should use Karen now that she’s expanded haha

I lack CyruSS tho for the perfect mono dark team

[little crag]

Where do I upload it?

[keen jasper]

Anywhere, but you can mainly upload it via YT and private it

And send the link here

[little crag]

well i actually lucked out and got it

managed to queue one last blazing kick before sync

[keen jasper]

Well, that's good

[little crag]

4 more to go

💀

well at least for shauntal i have maxie and courtney

[boreal rose]

Its her first move

Or second

[little crag]

which third unit should i use with maxie and courtney?

[keen jasper]

Someone to manage your gauge

[blazing narwhal]

Anyone with ssdawn, do u still use half ally healing parameter when u use her?

[little crag]

I have the new support added recently, I have ss gio,

I don't really know who could manage the gauge for the team

[keen jasper]

I guess Skyla

[little crag]

skyla and who?

[keen jasper]

Skyla/Swanna

[little crag]

is that a 4* ?

[keen jasper]

Yes, why?

[little crag]

cuz i dont find her lol

[boreal rose]

Skyla is a 3*

[little crag]

oh yes

[keen jasper]

She's also from story

[toxic cobalt]

Keep in mind Shauntal is a spatkker so if you have a spdef buffer who boosts speed that’d be better

[keen jasper]

Like Sycamore

[little crag]

is she worth gridding, i have her 3/5

[keen jasper]

She definitely is

[toxic cobalt]

Skyla is a superior unit

[little crag]

why?

she doesnt seem that good like that

[toxic cobalt]

She fully buffs def and speed, has two separate potion mprs, and can flinch on a one bar to boot

Just amazing

[keen jasper]

And she also has Fanfare

+2 attack for your team when she syncs

[little crag]

which grid should i take on her?

[formal vigil]

mrg9 is also great for sleep chains

[little crag]

😅

[toxic cobalt]

I use

[little crag]

imma copy that shit

xDD

[keen jasper]

I have my own build for her

[boreal rose]

I cant beat both Shauntal and Caitlin

[obtuse hound]

this is as far as i got. help?

[manic mica]

Dont you have silver

Or why not use red

[boreal rose]

Dire hit all+ 2/2?

[keen jasper]

Why are you using 2 DPS?

[boreal rose]

Oh crit is raised

Hmm

[violet timber]

Silver nukes

[obtuse hound]

for the last time

silver is not ex or power boost

[violet timber]

I could have duoed with SS morty but I brought Blue along

[obtuse hound]

he won't do anything for me

that's what i was told anyway

[keen jasper]

Seriously, why are you using 2 DPS?

Either SS Red or SS May is more than enough to finish the job

[boreal rose]

Ghetsis doesnt have both yet and does decent damage

You dont need the EX and power boosts

[violet timber]

Karen “nuke” doesn’t exist

literally couldn’t flinch for some weird reason

RNGesus hates me I guess

[boreal rose]

No status conditions?

I mean if its MM

[violet timber]

Yeah bite refused to proc

[obtuse hound]

why haven't i won then?

[boreal rose]

Re you doing Master Mode?

[violet timber]

Gauge issues

[violet timber]

yes…

[keen jasper]

Because you're having gauge issues

[obtuse hound]

nope didnt have any

pretty much

| | i did damage less than that

[boreal rose]

Then do you have No Status conditions

[obtuse hound]

per hit

may was doing 2k damage per hit and sync

except for last sync

| and this is the damage i did

[keen jasper]

Did it crit?

[obtuse hound]

yeah

[keen jasper]

Then you're really doing something wrong

[obtuse hound]

keep in mind all three are 1/5

[violet timber]

flinch isn’t a status condition tho cuz it procced with Dark Pulse

[keen jasper]

There's no way May's sync is that low even at 1/5

[obtuse hound]

she's not gridded i think?

[boreal rose]

I agree

[keen jasper]

I don't think her being gridded matters

[obtuse hound]

i had a small gauge issue but i never missed a triple queue

[boreal rose]

Ok i have EX but even without it she did pretty big damage

[obtuse hound]

this is r2 btw

[keen jasper]

That's why

She didn't have time to set up

[obtuse hound]

ok, marshal r2 maybe

or caitlin

[keen jasper]

I mean granted, she had +5 attack and max crit but still

[formal vigil]

you should probaly do it round 3 for perma sun

[obtuse hound]

cause i could like throw ash or sstred or ssteven at them

with a support ex

[obtuse hound]

true

[keen jasper]

And replace SS Red for someone else

[obtuse hound]

but caitlin or marshal, is the question

[keen jasper]

Maybe like Kiawe

[obtuse hound]

i think i have him

[sick inlet]

rng changes what she uses

[obtuse hound]

wait hold on i used sssteven against shauntal so not that

but i can throw ash or sstred at r2 cait/marsh

[wraith flame]

I beat Caitlin with Ash/SS Red (but one of them can also work, likely)

Ash one-shots centre with 4 gauges after EX support, support might not need EX? But I'm not sure

You can throw in Volkner for craps&giggles, but I think Ash can handle most of it

[little crag]

So this team would work for the ground weak stage?

[keen jasper]

Definitely good enough

[wraith flame]

ayep, should be doing fine

[little crag]

For 2k?

[wraith flame]

You have the zone, so probably yes
I cleared 2k with Giovanni without zone, so damage-wise you might cover it just fine

ALthough I did have support EX, so /shrug

[violet timber]

Ash 1/5 can just offtype basically anything right

[little crag]

i do have ss gio too

should i use him rather than maxie?

[wraith flame]

Try with Maxie, if he doesn't work try out Giovanni

My Giovanni wasn't EX btw

Zone might replace support EX, try it out

[little crag]

Lmfao

Sync counter is 4

Wth

[wraith flame]

that was my team, Roxanne to block AOE attack after centre faints

[wraith flame]

It's shortened for this stage

[little crag]

shit

i'll try with ss gio

i really gotta kill center quick

[rigid arrow]

Is lodge Lillie good enough for Marshal (2k)? I have few Fairy pairs

[keen jasper]

She is

Just needs a crit support

[rigid arrow]

Cool, thanks!

[wraith flame]

He hits like a truck, so yeah, he's a great option. Just don't forget to get someone to buff his crit

Naomi's great for this stage, too

[little crag]

like who?

[wraith flame]

Filter your supports for crit buffing

[little crag]

i've a few

zamazenta, phoebe, giovanni, ss brendan, cobaltion

[boreal rose]

[obtuse hound]

i beat with sst red and ex aaron

r3 report on grimsley, ssmay is still doing 2k per sync and hit with max crit, and immediately dying to sync

help

[agile drum]

what's the parameter on r3?

[boreal rose]

Would this work? R4

[obtuse hound]

the round parameter is permanent field effects, and im doing post sync

[agile drum]

You don't have EX Silver right

[boreal rose]

Oo it doesnt

[obtuse hound]

nope

[agile drum]

3/5 SS May?

I feel like she should generally delete him presync quite easily

[obtuse hound]

haha

she's 1/5

😭

[boreal rose]

Which parameters are best for r4 caitlin? Post or pre sync?

[formal vigil]

1/5 mayzekin still is plenty powerful from what I have heard

[boreal rose]

Yeah

[agile drum]

Fire Grimsley is just a beefy boy

[boreal rose]

EX is basically there cuz every new sync pair gets it

[agile drum]

Are you syncing twice before enemy syncs once?

[little crag]

Any recommendation for marshal fight as the 4th fight? I tried to offtype it with Deoxys but got whooped

[boreal rose]

I have no idea how to beat Caitlin

Dark and Electric are my weaknesses

[formal vigil]

who do you have for dark type options

[mellow linden]

Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[little crag]

I'm going for 2k

So MM

[mellow linden]

Got it. And what team/Deoxys form were you using?

[little crag]

2k on each stage I mean

Deoxys Lucian bianca

Attack form

[boreal rose]

Basic dark types

Wait i got an idea

[mellow linden]

That probably should’ve succeeded. What parameters were you using and how did the run end?

[boreal rose]

The old reliable (or something)

[rigid arrow]

what's the best order for this week? i can't decide

[little crag]

I'm running after-sync parameters, and it ended when they got the sync

He dodged 3 Psycho boost lmao

The +2 in evasiveness fucked me up

[mellow linden]

Ah, dodging would be a significant part of the issue, yes

Did you quadqueue?

[little crag]

Oh and my Steven is 140 EX

[little crag]

Don't think so

[mellow linden]

Ah, wait, Round 4

Maybe try swapping Lucian for Sabrina to ensure you can quadqueue via Reflect?

[mellow linden]

You have Nessa?

[boreal rose]

Yeah

Thats why i said old reliable a bit later

[mellow linden]

Ah

[boreal rose]

Cuz i wanna do the Nessa MR Hop team

[agile drum]

What's the round 4 parameter?

[boreal rose]

Physical reduction

[mellow linden]

Reflect at the start of the fight

[formal vigil]

reflect

[boreal rose]

Ik cuz i have it

On Caitlin

[little crag]

It's fine, he didn't Dodged anymore and I whooped his ass

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[little crag]

Time for the fight weak stage, that should be easy

I'll do aura Cynthia, Keldeo and gallade

[tardy dove]

i just unlocked master mode what debuffs do i use

[boreal rose]

So umm. What grid should Nessa have?

[agile drum]

I'd normally try SST Red solo on Grimsley but he's basically asking for SS Lyra clear with that Leer and infinite field parameter

[mellow linden]

It’s generally recommended to do 850 points per stage (4250 total) if you’re new to Master Mode. There’s recommended parameters in pins

[mellow linden]

Jaw Lock focus, since that’s all she’ll be doing

[sick inlet]

See, I told you

[mellow linden]

Maybe grab the tile that boosts move damage against enemies affected by Defense debuffs

[digital mauve]

dumb question - still relatively new - what is the general strategy for Champion Mode

trying to figure out how to prioritize EXing (between Supports and Nukers)

[boreal rose]

I did the jawlock /cakewalk one from #1009587872342478908

No one died and It really was pre sync

[mellow linden]

Worth noting that Cakewalk does nothing if Nessa doesn’t Sync, but if it works it works

[boreal rose]

She did more tho

[little crag]

Well it was quick this week lmao

Thx everyone for the help

[boreal rose]

Also it said something about its speed being lowered?

Cakewalk i mean

[mellow linden]

Cakewalk boosts the damage of Sync moves when the target’s Speed is lowered, not regular moves. Hunter’s Instinct is the equivalent for regular moves

[boreal rose]

Oh

Well now i have a problem with Iris

Cuz of my EX plans

I EX'd Korrina before Bea

[formal vigil]

bea should work fine without ex

[mellow linden]

Regular Korrina?

Also yeah, Bea can probably do just fine without EX

[boreal rose]

Yep

I dont think there is other Fighting type korrina i gane

[boreal rose]

Idk who to use for her tho

Support i mean

[formal vigil]

do you have 3/5 hilbert or sonia?

[boreal rose]

1/5 Sonia

And after i beat 1500 iris i will have EX Sonia

No Aura Cynthia

[mellow linden]

Could just use Korrina, tbh

[formal vigil]

so hilbert is 3/5 then? if so run him with bea then just put someone like kukui to lower defences but a defensive support like bp morty can work too

[boreal rose]

Done

[boreal rose]

Nah i didnt mention him cuz i dont have him /gen

[rigid arrow]

What would the best order for these teams be?

[formal vigil]

oh congrats on the clear anyways

[mellow linden]

Probably Grimsley 3rd because that’s the only E4 team reliant on field effects, at least. Order this week isn’t super important, tbh

Except maybe avoid Caitlin last because she’s all special damage

[pliant sluice]

How should I read the recommended parametyerzv

[mellow linden]

Wdym

[pliant sluice]

I think I’m going for 4.5k

But the chart as like 2 rows

[mellow linden]

I mean, they’re fairly self-explanatory. Each one is a point value depending on how you’re planning to clear (before enemy Sync, after enemy Sync, or Poison stall)

[pliant sluice]

Oh

I thought it was like for each stage

[mellow linden]

Nope

[pliant sluice]

Also if I could get teams for mm

[obtuse hound]

everyone's telling me ssmay is so powerful, but im barely hitting grimsley

[mellow linden]

Is she Mega, is there Sun, and is “no stat reductions” active?

[sick inlet]

If the last one is yes, you're hurting yourself

[obtuse hound]

yes she's mega, and no

but i might be mustanen

there is sun

yeah it was on by accident

what do you recommend instead. cause up hp 2 always seems to hurt me

[mellow linden]

• SSA Cynthia + Bea + an Attack buffer for Iris

• Naomi + Acerola + Classic Giovanni (or another Support with Sp. Atk. and crit buffs) for Shauntal

Use SST Red, Ash, and a comp of Bianca + Giovanni + Sabrina to off-type the other 3, IMO.

Those are some examples and far from the only solutions

[mellow linden]

The lowest tier of HP Up shouldn’t be an issue, SS May’s damage is really high and quadqueueing (easy to do on round 3 this week because of permanent field effects) will ensure Grimsley gets nuked twice before he can Sync

Oh, wait, SS May doesn’t need to quadqueue because of how she works

So even easier

Iirc you have Gladion, right? Go double damage-dealer with him + SS May + SS Morty if your damage output is that much of a problem

Worst case scenario there’s always Poison stall

[void estuary]

@distant cedar hi hi

[obtuse hound]

this is how much her first sync did

[distant cedar]

!! i was thinking, instead of ssblue you could use silver, instead

ss morty/red/silver

also, are you syncing with morty first? and youre going red blast burn, right?

[void estuary]

I don't own silver D: 😱

Nope I been synching charizard only

[distant cedar]

hes a free unit in legendary adventures

have you not done that?

[void estuary]

Does synching morty make a big diff?

[distant cedar]

id really recommend to do legendary adventures, it gives a bunch of units that are really good

[mellow linden]

That looks like a failed crit

[void estuary]

He doesn't mega evolve 😦

[distant cedar]

yup, mortys ex and hes a support- support EX gives you double sync buffs after first sync, meaning your damage is doubled after he syncs

so red should do a lot more damage

[void estuary]

What what?!?!?

Is that every support char?! 😮

[distant cedar]

this is why support ex is so recommended they make clearing content much easier

yup, every support if theyre EX, their first sync will give you two sync buffs, so 100% damage increase

instead of normal 50% after tech or striker sync

[obtuse hound]

only support ex i have left is ssblue

and i still have r4 marshal and iris

[eternal lodge]

can you show your units?

[distant cedar]

theyre not needed to clear content, they just make it much easier- i was just explaining about that to fywen since they have EX ss morty

[mellow linden]

Also, what is Kiawe contributing to that team, exactly? SS Morty handles what SS May can’t handle herself just fine and you don’t need more sources of Defense debuffs

[obtuse hound]

well this is where im at after two syncs max crit

[obtuse hound]

i was told to use him

so i did

[distant cedar]

it is true though that for some reason grimsleys bisharp is very tanky

[void estuary]

Woah woah so I guess I should go get a silver ho oh 😮

Howcome I'm not living through bisharps sync attacks on 2000 points mode ?
