I’d recommend using either another Support or a 2nd damage-dealer over Kiawe, tbh

[distant cedar]

silver isnt a support, hes a striker, but he has very nice damage as well to help red clearing content, and ss morty makes it so you can use two dps units without much worry

[obtuse hound]

who as a second damage dealer? who wouldn't give me gauge issues

[eternal lodge]

just use emboar like runner B)

[distant cedar]

are you using the recommended parameters in pinned in this channel?
keep in mind that taking power on hit parameters make it so you need to pre-sync (kill mid before they sync) otherwise their sync is very powerful indeed and youre unlikely to live it, whichs why a second dps in this team would help a lot

[mellow linden]

Gauge shouldn’t be much of a problem with gauge accel from SS Morty. You have Gladion?

[eternal lodge]

may i suggest the emboar team from this https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1020128958810964010

[mellow linden]

Iirc their Hilda is only 1/5

[obtuse hound]

thanks very much but yes

[eternal lodge]

thats a problem then

[obtuse hound]

and its half sync countdown

im not on that

[eternal lodge]

do you have ss red or arcanine blue?

[obtuse hound]

im r3

[obtuse hound]

i was specifically told DO NOT use ssred on this team

also gives me gauge issues

[mellow linden]

Actually, SS Red would probably work since it’s on-type. Not the best synergy, but Sun against Fire weak stage = big damage regardless

There shouldn’t be gauge issues due to SS Morty’s gauge accel

And Red’s MGR

[distant cedar]

grimsley isnt specifically spdef buffy either like caitlin, so im unsure why tell not to use him

[eternal lodge]

i still use the rapidash, clefairy and red charizard on every single fire weak stage and it wreaks them

[mellow linden]

I should specify that there shouldn’t be gauge issues if Red uses Heat Wave, idk how it would go if he’s using Blast Burn

[distant cedar]

oh bisharp has bonkers hp thats why hes so tanky, so a second dmg dealer would help a lot

[obtuse hound]

yeah about that

[eternal lodge]

ive used blast burn and you wont have the gauge to use it right after the move is used, but it deals so much dmg i dont htink it matters that much

[obtuse hound]

i also tried gladion

gauge issues are worse

i have less heal

and i got not as far

[obtuse hound]

is ssred ex or above move level 1/5

[eternal lodge]

mine is 3/5 ex, but 1/5 is already dealing dmg

[quaint solar]

Stuck any help

[distant cedar]

id advise using a physical unit vs cait, even if offtype
shes very spec bulky

[obtuse hound]

just missed 3 blaze kicks in a row

[obtuse hound]

there you go

ssred was suffering just like ssmay

i don't have that move level

[distant cedar]

is your may 1/5?

[obtuse hound]

nor grid

[obtuse hound]

yep

so is ssmorty

[distant cedar]

hmm do you have silver power boost?

[obtuse hound]

nope

people keep asking me that then leaving

[distant cedar]

is he dauntless though?

[obtuse hound]

maybe they think its hopeless after that

[eternal lodge]

as i said 1/5 still deals dmg, not sure about your powerups nor level but it should be enough

[obtuse hound]

don't have the cookies

[sick inlet]

The opposition only has 2 defense debuff. 2nd her real damage starts AFTER mega

[eternal lodge]

tho ss may still should do work

[obtuse hound]

and im not doing gauntlet for that, i have to save cookies for another reason

[obtuse hound]

but it's not

sorry

[distant cedar]

id say could maybe try ssmorty/silver/may, and use silver physical move

can you grid silver?

[obtuse hound]

idk

[void estuary]

Woah @distant cedar I was able to beat 900 Grimsley w your tips 😮 1500 was too strong though 😦 the pinn msg helped a lot !

[obtuse hound]

i dont even have him

[sick inlet]

What do you mean stuck?

[obtuse hound]

maybe i should just poison stall

[mellow linden]

You haven't done Legendary Adventures for him yet?

[obtuse hound]

its obvious you need 3 exs 3/5 to beat a slightly bulky stage

[eternal lodge]

you can always use serena for aoe sleep

[mellow linden]

You don't, but ok

[obtuse hound]

nah

[distant cedar]

if you have time later, try getting silver from legendary adventures, and using ssmorty/red/silver . legendary adventures doesnt require any stamina, and they give you the unit 5/5 20/20 for free- its a pretty strong team that should 1.5k or 2k congrats !!

do legendary adventures abbie

it gives very useful units

silver would help quite a lot here i think

[obtuse hound]

well

[formal vigil]

you should probably go grab silver even without powerboost he is still strong

[quaint solar]

Can't pass the 4th player

[obtuse hound]

i was told silver was useless without powerboost

[distant cedar]

i beat grimsley with ss morty(1/5 not ex)/silver/ss may (1/5 not ex) < 2k

hes not useless

[sick inlet]

Yeah, what units are you trying to use

[distant cedar]

just go his physical move route

[obtuse hound]

im doing 2k tho..

[sick inlet]

Not useless, just cannot offtype.

[distant cedar]

my run was 2k as well

ill try recording a run with that team stated above, give me a few

you said youre doing round 3 abbie?

[obtuse hound]

yes

[void estuary]

Thank you! For off type clear do I still want to use sync my support first before pikachu dmg?

[obtuse hound]

@eternal lodge just letting you know, i tried rapidash charizard clefairy and got oneshot

blaine instantly died

first round

[eternal lodge]

did you use clefairy as the tank

[distant cedar]

you only want to sync with supports first if theyre ex- when theyre not ex, their sync doesnt have that special effect that doubles your damage, so in this case sync with red

[quaint solar]

These are the units I have being trying to win with, Can't reach second sync

[distant cedar]

use a physical damage dealer

caitlin is special bulky

[obtuse hound]

yep

she was one shot too

[sick inlet]

This explains why my 2v3k run was difficult

[eternal lodge]

what is the level of your units

[obtuse hound]

also serious gauge issues

[obtuse hound]

that..is kind of obvious..

130

and 110-130 doesn't make a difference

[eternal lodge]

by 130 clefairy shuld be able to tank quite a few hits

what is your gear?

[obtuse hound]

..

its because your lillie probably is gridded

with a higher move level

gear really isnt the make or break, but its level 3 3* electric gear

[eternal lodge]

the grid i use only gives it healing on accuracy x, it wont affect the dmg you take, same with move level, and id really suggest to level up that gear, you get quite a good boost from those

maybe show parameters?

[obtuse hound]

it wouldn't be enough

[obtuse hound]

post sync except 2hp up instead of no stat reduction

[eternal lodge]

may i suggest to pre sync, it should make it easier with ss red

[obtuse hound]

i was told presync is worse but okay

[eternal lodge]

about getting one shot: i cant see any reason you can survive a single hit with clefairy, unless gear makes that much of a difference it should be good enough

[obtuse hound]

lillie will still be one shot

is your lillie:
above 1/5
ex

[boreal rose]

I have no kanto badges. Would this work?

Think of MC as Ash

[eternal lodge]

the reason im suggesting pre sync isnt because of clefairy, its because if it cant survive a hit i cant see your team surviving a sync so itll be better to remove the bulk from the enemy to try and beat it fast

[quaint solar]

Only person I got from what I see is her

[obtuse hound]

okay sure

then if all else fails ill grab silver or try poison stall

[boreal rose]

Do you have any dark type tech's?

[distant cedar]

just go offtype imo, offtype physical damage dealer

should do just fine

[pliant sluice]

having trouble with shauntal the sync move just one shots naomi

[mellow linden]

What round is it?

[obtuse hound]

@eternal lodge

[distant cedar]

abbie, im uploading the run

wait a second

[eternal lodge]

something really wrong that i cant explain is happening there

since you cant do it this way, i believe its best to go for the easy path

[obtuse hound]

its called having ssred at 3/5

[eternal lodge]

Delphox, Clefairy and Probopass

[distant cedar]

@obtuse hound things to keep in mind about this run:
-silver is ex, yes, but that shouldnt change anything. if you grid him, he should be getting to kill mid and survive still if you get ok mpr from morty tm for def buffs (or if you can give him critical strike 2, he should kill before mid syncs)

• he does not need dauntless, i just cant remove it from him

• his ex doesnt matter, but i cannot remove that, but you should survive and have enough to kill sides without struggling

• he does need grid though, i can send a screenshot of the one i used
  this was round 3, parameters used are at the end of the video

https://streamable.com/z1q5ty

[eternal lodge]

wait nvm

[obtuse hound]

also did i mention this is 2k?

[eternal lodge]

delphox, clefairy and alakazam if you can

delphox to spam sleep and nuke, clefairy to boost accuracy and spa and aoe stat drop and alakazam for crits and potions

[eternal lodge]

i believe so, and since youre having too much trouble i believe this could be an easy way for you to go through this stage even if its not that much fun to use

[distant cedar]

@obtuse hound grid I used for silver, doesn't need grid expansion

[sharp totem]

2k grimsley sucks

[quaint solar]

RIP none of the teams can make it threw their 1st sync

[distant cedar]

[distant cedar]

can you send a picture of your units through pokecenter screen>sync pairs>upgrade>Move Level tab>filter so only 5*s show

[upbeat gate]

is sacred fire better than overheat without the grid expansion?

[distant cedar]

nope, dauntless is loads better- but abbie doesnt have access to cookies, so i went with sacred fire option

[upbeat gate]

I'm having trouble iwth grimsley round 2 with ss morty ex, silver, sabrina but I'm running overheat

Hh ok

[void estuary]

Cleared another one @distant cedar 😄 2 down 3 to go

[distant cedar]

do you have ssred?

[upbeat gate]

I do have dauntless, so I should spec toward overheat?

me? I do not have ss red

[void estuary]

What to for ground team?

[upbeat gate]

silver is my best fire

[quaint solar]

Here

[distant cedar]

hmm grimsley is very bulky so hed really like another dps to help- do you have gladion? :0

[upbeat gate]

I do have gladion

[void estuary]

Izzy is the pokemon master:O

[pliant sluice]

mak

[upbeat gate]

but I don't really know how silver maxes spatk 😮

[distant cedar]

for cynthia, you dont have ingo, right? hm could possibly change ssblue for hilbert, and for hilbert use the endurance grid and cynthia should handle it pretty well then

[distant cedar]

not anything close to that, just been around quite a bit!

[distant cedar]

my run in the video i sent above a bit with may and morty went with no spa buffs (just realized)

hang on, got to brb for a second

[distant cedar]

sorry, am back, lets see how close are you to beating them with this team? and syncing with morty first, right?

[upbeat gate]

sorry give me a second, something came up

[distant cedar]

oh you have fall hilbert- hes physical and on type, have you tried him?

mightyena hilbert

if not hilbert, nessa jaw lock/masked royal/hop should work wonders for dark weak physical

but i cant see hilbert not working

[quaint solar]

Here

[distant cedar]

yup- have you tried using mightyena hilbert to clear?

fall hilbert/ssblue/red snorlax should work beyond wonders
or nessa/masked royal/hop as well

[sharp totem]

did 7.2k master mode

[distant cedar]

nice fey!

[sharp totem]

prolly gonna aim for 8k

[distant cedar]

if you can 7.2k, you should be able to push for 8k theres still the whole week to grind for sync orbs if those are the issue to help

[sharp totem]

850 - shauntal and caitlin
1.5k - marshall
2k - grimsley and iris

i could prolly clear marshall 2k

shauntal prolly 1.5k

[distant cedar]

what team did you use vs caitlin? if you have nessa and masked royal, you should be able to 1.5k or 2k it as well

[void estuary]

Something like this?

[distant cedar]

looks good

[eternal lodge]

jesus christ, 5/5 cynthia

[sharp totem]

caitlin was rough, prolly wouldnt be able to get past 1k

[distant cedar]

fywen is ready for the new grids

[eternal lodge]

he sure is

[void estuary]

😮 is she worth exing?

[distant cedar]

no nessa and drednaw?

[sharp totem]

dont have em

[void estuary]

I'm a returning player I remember I went crazy on cynthia banner a few years ago lol

[distant cedar]

no sidney too?

cynthia did get a grid expansion which made her sync pretty nice, but if youre having too much of a hard time with stages it might be better to ex a few supports first

[void estuary]

Yeah good tip ! I'm def lacking on support

[sharp totem]

im poor on dark

[distant cedar]

hilbert is an amazing support at 3/5- he maxes crit and atk in two turns, also buffs speed, and his grid helps his survival a lot hes very viable in loads of teams due to what he gives

[quaint solar]

There sync is doing over 1K in damage just alone 😔

[distant cedar]

your fall hilbert is gridded right?

[quaint solar]

Yes.

[distant cedar]

huh thats weird

what parameters are you using? the ones in pinned here?

[dusty crater]

"poor on dark."
"Has 3/5 Masked Royale" 🤨

[void estuary]

What do we use on Hilbert? Speed x 2 first ?

[distant cedar]

hilbert wants to use his atk/crit tm first, thats the other one

[quaint solar]

Something similar to the ones in the pins

[distant cedar]

after that he can start on speed or attacking

[distant cedar]

hmm, id say give a try to nessa/masked royal/hop team then
nessa doesnt need grid, just spam her jaw lock, masked royal speed buffs then does his aoe move and syncs, and hop to buff atk/crit and tank

[sharp totem]

prolly gonna 6* SS Red next, if that grimsley fight is anythin to go by, i need better damage

[void estuary]

@distant cedar wow samurott is OP 😮

Cleared the lvl

[distant cedar]

samurott is one of the best general pool supports hes incredibly strong and fits many types of teams

another amazing general pool support is sonia

marshal might be a bit tough to on-type

[void estuary]

I don't have a fairy team yet but I'm going to pull wally this week. Who should I build around wally? I only have clefairy haha

[sharp totem]

dont have sycamore yet?

if not thats an easy pick

[void estuary]

Ooo so I should consider exing Sonia and hilbert next ?

[distant cedar]

wally is a bit weird- he wants another teammate that syncs and has mega to use his sync buddy, otherwise he has no dps

but sycamore should be able to do some power on that marshal stage as fey said

[distant cedar]

sonia if you have her 3/5 shes an amazing choice as well yeah, hilbert id say is really good too

[void estuary]

Is sycamore better then granbull

I think izzy mentioned Granbull earlier

[mellow linden]

Sycamore is a Support and Mina is a damage-dealer

[distant cedar]

wait did i?

[mellow linden]

They do different things. Sycamore is an amazing Support tho

[sharp totem]

i can only imagine how good they'll be once EX comes around

[distant cedar]

sycamore can still do some damage for marshal, but hed really want a crit buffer and defense buffer if tanking

mina is pretty good as well but ive never used her so im unsure on her damage/her needs

[void estuary]

Ooo so I can run

Clefairy / wally / sycamore for 2k?

Or that'll be a stretch :p

[sharp totem]

rosa why you no free move level

[distant cedar]

i dont think clefairy and sycamore would be a good fit for wally- wally wants a teammate that has mega to sync

[sharp totem]

eventually we might get a mega audino sync

[distant cedar]

though if you want him just fairy zone so sycamore can deal damage that works as well

[void estuary]

Aww I was gonna pull him since I had no faeries haha

But sounds like he's no good alone

[sharp totem]

is diancie hilda counted as fairy or rock

[distant cedar]

SC Hilda is a rock type

[distant cedar]

he is decent, but esp at 1/5 he takes a more supportive role, i think- but i havent looked at his kit in depth, so could be worth asking more about him once hes out in #poma-questions to see if you think hes worth or not once people had the chance to try him out

[mellow linden]

Why’d they have to run Poison weak Blue before Lucy gets her full grid

[quaint solar]

Sync and hyperbeam is killing me

[distant cedar]

wait they shouldnt be getting to sync

are you triple queueing?

youre not using -sync parameters are you?

[quaint solar]

Here

[distant cedar]

too much strength, try using parameters in pinned

are you quadqueueing as well?

[quaint solar]

Post sync use all strength

[distant cedar]

this team should be able to presync if you manage to quadqueue

might take a few tries though bc of hops passive

hang on lemme try recording a run

[mellow linden]

Post-Sync doesn’t use Power on Hit though. It’s not necessarily the high strength that’s the problem so much as it’s comboing the high strength with PoH

[distant cedar]

they should be able to presync as well- only got this close bc i messed up by being too confident and not using potion on hop before the hyper beam, but example run. parameters at the end of the vid

https://streamable.com/svk3d8

[void estuary]

Are blue and green kinda outdated for champ now izzy? 🤔 they're my pride and joy 🥺🥺

[distant cedar]

you mean ssblue and og leaf or ssleaf?

[void estuary]

Venasaur and blastoise

[distant cedar]

ssblue is still really good jack of all trades, and a good ex option as well and theres plenty of times that he might come in handy, but theres usually supports that will do what he does better if your main dps isnt self sufficient, since blues offensive buffing is very slow- but his crit and gauge accel are still rlly appreciated, as is his tanking

for ssleaf, if shes not 3/5 shell most likely not find much use most of times in CS outside of poison stall- but if shes 3/5, shes an amazing grass dmg option still

you should still be able to use them without issues whenever you want though as you obtain more units, those new units end up doing what those two do faster or easier (though ssleaf is still the queen of poison stall thanks to aoe poison and pots)

[quaint solar]

None of my tech has crit 2 on them actually just 1 and the pokemon in the middle is not gridded

[distant cedar]

if you can, try giving them critical strike 2, that ups their damage a lot

my nessa is also not gridded as it shows in the vid

hop could do with just his crit tm mpr

[void estuary]

Power creep 😱 the thing I appreciate about the game is atleast the old units r usable even if they're not as good in new meta. Ty for the explanation!

[void estuary]

Wait my does Cynthia get special stuff at 5/5? I'm looking through her grid but don't see any :p

[mellow linden]

Doesn’t have any rn

It’s possible she’ll get some 4/5 and 5/5 tiles in the future, but since she’s really good rn I don’t think it’s happening any time soon

[distant cedar]

yup, you can even do 10K cs fully f2p its a great thing abt this game and even old units now as well are getting updated with their grids (like karen) to make them better so they can keep up a bit/be easier to use
and no worries !

[upbeat gate]

Ok I am back, would I be able to get some help with caitlin/Grimsley?

[void estuary]

Okay I unlocked sycamore! Here's my support squad. Are my 2 best ones to ex still Sonia and hillbert ? 😄

[upbeat gate]

I'm on 3/4, and I think i can run diantha + cynthia for iris, so just struggling on these 2

[distant cedar]

questions like this would be better fit for #poma-questions but sonia, ssblue, hilbert and aaron would be amazing ex choices yeah, id rec sonia>ssblue>hilbert>aaron

[upbeat gate]

My best dark type damage dealer is probably 3/5 karen, and I think I can beat grimsley with ss morty/sabrina/silver, but I'm not sure if I should save him for 4

[distant cedar]

what do you have for physical damage delears? do you have masked royal/nessa?

[upbeat gate]

I do have nessa, but she's level 100 not built, let me ss my box

[distant cedar]

nessa doesnt need grid, just some lvl (120 is enough) and cs2

her jaw lock chomps pretty hard for dark type

[upbeat gate]

this is for 2k btw

and here are my units, I've used groudon/erika/aaron/red/volkner

and one other that's escaping me right now

and I think right now the plan is to use silver/ssmorty/sabrina for Grimsley and ssacynthia/scdiantha+1 for iris

[upbeat gate]

I could maybe run nessa/sonia + 1?

[distant cedar]

sorry had t brb for a sec
it doesnt look like you have MR or sidney unless i missed them

hmm im not too familiar on how karen houndoom plays esp after grid expansion so i wouldnt be able to help much in that regard

[upbeat gate]

no sydney, unsure what MR is

[distant cedar]

masked royal

[upbeat gate]

oh yeah nope

my problem with karen rn is that she needs a lot of slow setup, and she needs status + stat lower to do max damage

[distant cedar]

you could try offtyping with maxie

[upbeat gate]

so i wouldn't be sure what to take

I used maxie already

[upbeat gate]

used these

[distant cedar]

ah i missed him my bad

[upbeat gate]

no worries! ty for the help 🙂

[distant cedar]

she can do the stat lowering by herself at least- i think maybe sonia/nessa/karen could be worth a try

[upbeat gate]

hmm ok I'll give that a shot, might also try sycamore/delphox/karen

[distant cedar]

sonia to buff+def drops,Karen can do the stat lowering after sync , nessa chomp chomp

good luck fluffy!

[upbeat gate]

ty!

ended up beating cait with karen/delphox/sycamore

delphox sleep lock is pretty nuts

I should be able to do grimsley

[upbeat gate]

Just beat Iris, thanks for your help! Grimsley took forever haha, need johto va to come back

[sick inlet]

Johto? We getting unova/kalos I predict

[swift swan]

Johto VA rerun for the Silver powerboost I assume

Silver does go absolute bonkers with his powerboost grid

[toxic cobalt]

Silver was fine before!

[swift swan]

oh I agree. but with his powerboost he got way better

[toxic cobalt]

he did, but i see too many comments saying "I don't have his boost or EX" like they make or break anything

[obtuse hound]

didnt work, ss may and silver did about 1.5 k every move and sync

and was one shot by grimsleys sync

so you're ex and powerboost? sorry, it matters

[toxic cobalt]

Nope, did mine this week with no EX or powerboost

What matters is being able to quadqueue so you don't get hit by a sync

[distant cedar]

once again, ex doesnt matter for this run, and silver's power boost is his grid, which i did not use any extra nodes

[obtuse hound]

ex does matter lmfao, or people wouldn't care

and you did use extra nodes

[distant cedar]

where?i sent a pic of the grid

[obtuse hound]

it didnt work

[distant cedar]

all of those nodes are pre-boost that i took

[distant cedar]

i messed up my run i realized as well and couldve done that run before they synced

[obtuse hound]

this is as far as j got

doing EXACTLY what you did

[distant cedar]

what parameters are you using?

[obtuse hound]

exactly

pre sync because post sync was worse

[distant cedar]

can you record your run so we can see whats happening?

[obtuse hound]

sure

[distant cedar]

with ss may can get 2 syncs in before grimsley syncs without any issues or need to quadqueue (abbies using ssmay)

i find it really weird though theyre only doing that amount of damage to grimsley until he syncs

[sick inlet]

Does silver nuke better than May?

pre-boost

[toxic cobalt]

Oh yeah, her tm is niiiice

[distant cedar]

if mays 1/5 non-ex id say so

[distant cedar]

no idea whats going on here auro for that little dmg w grimsley

[toxic cobalt]

I am deeply concerned Silver doesn't have Dauntless

[distant cedar]

in my run he was a lot lower and i couldve gotten him before he synced if i hadnt messed up

i did it with sacred fire with no issues

[sick inlet]

Idk how she did so little damage and he wiped her out with sync

[distant cedar]

i told abbie about dauntless as well but no cookies

and i do agree that grinding lg is boring even if auto

[toxic cobalt]

I don't have Smorty

Does he buff atk?

[sick inlet]

he buffs all

but 1 or 2

max

[distant cedar]

morty 1/5 doesnt buff offensive

[sick inlet]

oh

rip

[distant cedar]

only once actually

due to passive

+1 atk/spa

[sick inlet]

I am too used to 3/5

[distant cedar]

this is the run that i did that couldve 100% presynced if i didnt mess up

but even though he got to sync bisharp was a lot lower hp than abbies screenshot

only thing i can think of is gridless silver

[toxic cobalt]

It's an interesting team. I wonder if there might be a better way to focus on a striker, although that might lose the free quadquee

[distant cedar]

iirc abbie has ssred but 1/5 non-ex

[distant cedar]

what team did you use for your clear btw with silver?

[obtuse hound]

yeah

[distant cedar]

bc ive seen people using overheat silver(pre power boost)/sabrina/ssmorty and saying they couldnt 2k grimsley

[obtuse hound]

i need to take a look at silver's grid again i think i may have done it incorrectly

[distant cedar]

i sent a screenshot of what i used

i didnt take any nodes from expansion

[toxic cobalt]

Silver Marley Torchic A Classic

[obtuse hound]

yeah i know.

im saying i may have done it incorrectly

[distant cedar]

ah got it

[toxic cobalt]

If a quadqueue is possible I'd switch SS May out for a speed and attack buffer

[obtuse hound]

that sounds like a really bad idea

[toxic cobalt]

Of course focusing on SS May might be better but i haven't used her yet myself

[obtuse hound]

ss may was doing most of the damage

[toxic cobalt]

Hmm that's interesting.

Let me look at her kit

[obtuse hound]

so i'll regrid silver if i can

but

and get cookies

but i'll have to take a video

as is

[distant cedar]

if you want cookies but dont want to bother doing the battles, in pinned in #1012311116778586182 has a doc where there are lots of auto teams so you can just reste first battle over and over

you get lots of cookies like that

there should be some youre able to do

could potentially also remove the no stat reduction parameter and +2 strength, and use strength 3

so ssmay can lower def so silvers sync/her own moves do more dmg

[toxic cobalt]

FYI my silver physical grid without expansion. Usually I run with Hop

Right so May, also a physical attacker. Has a tm that should save a whole sync round right, makign quadqueue unnecessary?

[distant cedar]

yup

[toxic cobalt]

Inbuilt defence crush 9 dear lord

[distant cedar]

yep shes nice

[toxic cobalt]

She's basically a support geez

Okay so she bumps all speed up by +2 anyway, which is what Silver needs. Should be a good team then.

[distant cedar]

ngl i dont know why i thought his solar flare was expansion and didnt take it 😭 😭 that run couldve been SO MUCH easier

[toxic cobalt]

The expansion has a cheaper solar flare

[distant cedar]

i think that mightve been why i just completely forgot that base also has it

so he should 100% be able to presync then that team without struggles with ssmay

[distant cedar]

@obtuse hound this grid is much better/more dmg

[sick inlet]

Ungridded Morty, Wrong gridded Silver(only using Sacred fire), and 1/5 May with whatever grid possible to grab, May 2nd sync did 20k
And even before 2nd nuke grim was so low

[distant cedar]

ex morty/may though

[sick inlet]

I didn't sync morty and as for May I don't think the Grimsley healt goes from 3/4 to 1/4 because of EX (first sync has no defense debuffs)

[toxic cobalt]

Don't forget the EX stats

I assume 5/5 Silver has a better sync than 1/5 SS May but that's just an asumption

[sick inlet]

I guess that too

[distant cedar]

i think so if gridding silver, even if may ex, with inertia and solar flare

at least according to pomatools silvers sync is 300smth power while mays 280 smth iirc

[sick inlet]

Hmm

1/5 May sync move is 192

Lol

🥲

[distant cedar]

ex buffs it to 288

[sick inlet]

240?
1/5 I suppose

[distant cedar]

tech ex gives quite a boost even at 1/5 yeah

[zealous karma]

Who has that?

Sonia?

Oh ssmay

[summer flare]

I think she has it, yes

[keen jasper]

Sonia and base SS May

[summer flare]

Does Gloria need grid with urshifu to do that?

[zealous karma]

No that’s 1/5

[summer flare]

Also, felt satisfying beating 2k with naomi

Kinda gives me the assurance I needed that I should worry less about meta

[toxic cobalt]

The meta is teambuilding, not units

Glad Naomi is good I haven't tried her

[keen jasper]

Naomi needs a speed, Sp. Atk. and crit buffer

[zealous karma]

I just used Zerena… I need to try Naomi and Hapu

I hate using meta units

Even when their favs

[distant cedar]

using zerena meta chaser smh

[zealous karma]

I want a happy medium of decent favs!!!

[keen jasper]

Me using SS Giovanni

[zealous karma]

Like just look at my stage clears j look like a whale!

#1015843845008793690

scroll ul@a bit

[keen jasper]

My only clears that weren't whale were against Caitlin and Marshal

[zealous karma]

It’s a lucky day to be a Serena fan

When lodge Serena?

[toxic cobalt]

Seriously though how is there no lodge Serena

[zealous karma]

She’s so popular idk how it didn’t happen

[keen jasper]

I can imagine people will change their name to Ash for that

[zealous karma]

Praying she gets either Chespin or Flabebe

Omg

Female meowstic and Serena

Dies

They’d have completely matching theme skills with Calem

Jumps out of window

[nova galleon]

How's this for grimsley

[toxic cobalt]

Why take mgr?

Also is this physical or special silver?

[summer flare]

Ingo goes a long way with that

[summer flare]

Man, I hate how weak silver teams feels

Every time I see fire weak I end up offtyping with water of all types and getting better results

But it feels sour that I can't slap a sun team against fire weak

[toxic cobalt]

Can you quadqueue?

[summer flare]

Unsure if I can... I can 100% triple queue

But dunno about quad

[toxic cobalt]

If you can figure quadqueueing out a whole lot more teams become viable

[summer flare]

Likely, though I still feel like fire is really weak in my account

I guess that should keep happening until I land on SS Morty or someone as game warping as him

To make up for SS Kris

Though I also feel that Cyrus is much stronger at base than base silver

[swift swan]

Personally I have a hard time quadqueueing with Silver... When Solarize activates on his sync I find it hard to queue another move

More often than not, I fail my quadqueue :/

[toxic cobalt]

Not a problem on Round 3

Or with Maxie

[swift swan]

I'm most likely skipping maxie

Screaming crying begging for ss morty to rerun in a nonpaid banner

[plucky pewter]

Trying to sort out order of doing this week... Almost want to leave Caitlin for R3 dark zone with cyrus/N combo but also at same time don't want to 😅

[swift swan]

I don't see why not

[plucky pewter]

Just making sure I don't need that for something else.
I may end up off typing on Caitlin tbh

[full mesa]

Marshall is an issue usually. If you have a team for him then you're set.

[plucky pewter]

I definitely do not have an ideal team for marshal this week

[full mesa]

What are your off type combinations?

[plucky pewter]

Grimsley I'm just gonna do Kiawe/SsRed/SS Morty (may save morty for another team)
Shauntal I was going to try SS erika/maxie (Erika helping with sun for full effect of expand the land). If I struggle with that I'll try Cynthia/Garchomp and someone else.
Iris is Bea/Ssa Cynthia

Off types I have both Ash and SsT Red so I could divide them on teams. I likely have other combinations I just haven't noticed/learnt about

[full mesa]

I did SSRedEx/HilbertEx/Ninetales eggmon for Grimsley on R4. You definitely need to pre sync that. Sync hits too hard. Kiawe is a bad choice unless if SSRedEx proc a propulsion after his first sync.
Shauntal is just trial and error. I did mine with MaxieEx/SilverEx/Lyra.
Iris is just a joke.
SSTRed can stand alone against Caitlin but you'll need some good supports. Ash is better for Marshall. You'll need to quadqueue and pre-sync, just to be safe.
Also don't forget your SSCyrus/N team. Use that for Caitlin and then use both Pikachu on Marshall.

[plucky pewter]

My cyrus/N team I just need to work out a decent support to go with them as I've given a few runs but not worked out, most likely will be a gauge refresh unit I think but I'll give it trial and error

[keen jasper]

I just wanna say I fucking hate counterattacks in this game

[keen silo]

Hello, which member did you all fight round 2 (sync move cooldown reduced by half)? Just would like a gauge

[keen jasper]

I fought Grimsley at round 2

[eternal cobalt]

Caitlin was kinda annoying

[swift swan]

Shauntal for me. But that's because my support was SS Brendan and surprisingly he benefited from half sync

He only needs a 1 button set up and maxes crit upon mega so the faster I can sync with him, the better

[keen jasper]

I just YOLO-ed R2 Grimsley with Silver

[toxic cobalt]

Quite the yolo

[keen jasper]

Well, with SS Morty/Silver/OG Lillie and not a single strength and HP parameters, yeah

[tranquil pier]

Gonna use SS Giovanni for shauntal, any good partners for him?

[swift swan]

Speed buffer

And if he's not 3/5 yet, then crit buffs

3/5 Hilbert or 3/5 Sonia works well

[tranquil pier]

Ok

[keen silo]

Sonia if you can- she debuffs def as well (replace the no stat reduction for something else)

Always use her with Gio, good synergy

[wraith flame]

Shauntal for R2 for me
Caitlin absolutely wiped me on R2 hjshhs

[dark osprey]

I guess Ingo is the best for SS Gio if u have him

[tranquil pier]

Any idea for Caitlin R4

[trail smelt]

I don’t suppose you have a strong dark unit ?

[tranquil pier]

I have basically all the dark type spotlights

[trail smelt]

Well I beat Caitlin with both MR and Sydney, they beat her easy

[tranquil pier]

Ok

[swift swan]

Nessa + Masked Royal destroys almost every dark weak stage

Jaw Lock hits like a truck

[keen silo]

Is a sync grid a necessity in this case, or is he mostly just a debuffer for Nessa?

[dark osprey]

there were hyper offensive parameters in the pins previously right with the sync countdown -2 and so? I guess with all these bulky supports & hard hitting damage dealers we may keep them on there

[dark osprey]

he's good at base and has a nice inbuilt nuke as well. can try him out without the grid

Nessa is for dps & MR for sync. would need a crit & preferably attack buffer as the third

[keen silo]

Good to hear, thanks! Will do it soon for 2k.

[toxic cobalt]

Nessa doesn't need a grid. She just needs to chomp.

[keen silo]

I already have grid for nessa for water type damage, maybe tweakable for just jaw lock

[swift swan]

Good luck!

[swift swan]

Yeah. Honestly those never worked for me

[trail smelt]

I never use presync, always post sync

That said I mostly kill them before they can sync so lol

[toxic cobalt]

Any sync countdown is poison to most teams. How many times do people say teams die at first sync? That parameter just exacerbates it.

[swift swan]

I'm the opposite, I almost never use postsync params anymore

[trail smelt]

Now that I got actual nukers half sync countdowns works in my favor lol

[swift swan]

I still dislike half sync because most of the time I can't set up quick enough

[toxic cobalt]

I mean it works if you're running something stupid like red and ash or animay and Giovanni

[swift swan]

Fair. I've only managed to presync a half sync countdown stage twice

One electric and one fighting weak

[dark osprey]

its actually quite good for big nukers

can forego the strength paramaters and hence finish on the first sync. the tank has to survive a max of 3 hits before the centre is taken out

by big nukers even striker EXs do very well. for eg: Silver expanded grid

olivia as well

[distant cedar]

ingo and emmet love half sync (both og and sc)

[dark osprey]

yeah true. honestly most new damage dealers and a decently bulky support. someone like hop or sonia who are great & mostly accessible too.

even some like Anni Steven can manage with his dps & an EX sync support for on types

[toxic cobalt]

Please do not post clears here but on #1010274591601598555

[swift swan]

yeah, I did fighting-weak half sync with EX Bea. I had to remove Strength params and went for half ally HP though. It was nerve-wrecking

[dark osprey]

Was it with SSA Cynthia by any chance? She is really good for the full attack paramaters with two damage guards and potions to heal teammates

[swift swan]

nope

Hop and Masked Royal

MR to quickly buff Bea's speed and get as much defense debuffs as possible

I only got SSA Cynthia this week and I haven't even used her in CS

#1011173305702690876 message here we go

[pliant sluice]

having trouble with psychic team trying to off type grimsley/caitlin

giovanni bianca and sabrina

should i switch teams? or do i need grids

not sure what to do

[keen jasper]

Master mode I assume?

[pliant sluice]

yeha

doing 850

[keen silo]

maybe send screenshots of what sync pairs you have available and see what me or other people can help

[toxic cobalt]

Giovanni could use his grid

No Nessa or Silver?

[pliant sluice]

maybe i do hop xerneas?

[toxic cobalt]

Xerneas could probably take Caitlin

Youc an run Hop with Silver against Grimsley see how that goes

[keen silo]

Hop Silver Erika on round 3 if possible

[keen jasper]

And save Aura Cynthia for Iris

[simple storm]

erika could offtype at 2/5 no?

she is bonkers strong

[zealous karma]

Almost every I’d say they still break down Phoebe

J got Phoebe done with Furbur and MR

Those two should be fine

[magic crown]

Any suggestions for these teams I'm using for master mode next week

[bright furnace]

are u trying to off type a couple stages because i don't see rock weak or electric weak

oh wait looking at the wrong graphic lol

[magic crown]

No this is for Kanto next week

[bright furnace]

yeah

forgot region change

should be fine

haven't tried lodge lillie for fairy weak myself

[magic crown]

Alright

[bright furnace]

but think with dawn...should be alright...

its kanto anyways

[magic crown]

She can definitely clear a 2k match

[bright furnace]

it won't be too difficult like the last two regions lol

[white gale]

Think I'm going to try teams 11-15 to get 15 types into kanto medal next week. How hard is Kanto? Easier than sinnoh, similar to unova?

[boreal rose]

i heard its the easiest

cuz it waas firdt

[white gale]

I see. then I think those 5 teams will likely do fine

[bright furnace]

Yup, it won’t an issue with your teams

Doesn’t have gimmicks like the other regions

[boreal rose]

Wdym gimmicks?

Would these work btw?

For next weak

(MC is Ash i just dont have Ash yet)

(and ik i WILL get Ash)

[subtle forge]

They’re all fine but I’m just a little confused on why Nessa is on the Hop team

[boreal rose]

Dark type?

Thats the team i use on dark weak (most of the time)

[subtle forge]

If this is for next week, there is no dark weak

Wait no

I’m stupid Omg. I’m so sorry

[boreal rose]

Sorry abt what?

[subtle forge]

Next week ok. Uh yeah looks good. Although Lorelei has strong physical attacks and Sabrina and Lyra aren’t the greatest at tanking physical moves

[subtle forge]

Nothing nvm

[boreal rose]

They are there for badges

[subtle forge]

Oh. I guess it was wrong of me to assume this was MM. then yeah they’re fine

[boreal rose]

Yeah i should have said its for badges

[proper depot]

I need some help with parameters and teams for this week

I am currently using the parameters from the pins and this team

This is for Caitlyn btw

[bleak eagle]

Pls

For the love of GOD

Tell me grimsley doed mostly phys

Cuz idk if i have the strength to reset

[bleak eagle]

I used sycamore instead of piers, if that helps

[keen silo]

yeah

iron head, night slash, leer, etc

[bleak eagle]

Oh wait ffs

My striker is ho oh

Imma have to offtype

[keen silo]

he's pretty tanky for some reason so good luck with that

pain in all aspects

[bleak eagle]

I need to use round 3 vs shauntal, cuz the team is bertha cynthia and a flex

And if i use round 4 cynthia will do 0 dmg

[keen silo]

[bleak eagle]

This for round 3 and then, god help me with offtype grimsley

[keen silo]

You doing 2k or nah?

[bleak eagle]

2k, ye

Champion ia gonna be the easiest yet

Ex albert, EX acynthia and EX bea

All 140

[summer flare]

I think I did grimsley with regular Cyrus, 2k and all

Used uh... SS Kris Cyrus and 2/5 may

[keen silo]

I used rosa ash red

[bleak eagle]

I dont have ss kris, but

I tought abt using sabrina, renegade cynthia and mewtwo

And spam shadow balls

[summer flare]

I think that could do it

[keen silo]

Could not conserve at all

[summer flare]

I don't have renegade Cynthia to be sure about that

But mewtwo tends to be giga strong

[bleak eagle]

She's 3/5, EX, and 150

At this point i want to use her for the sake of using 3 cynthias to beat mm

[summer flare]

I really wanna go all psychic once I get 3/5 Sabrina or 3/5 bianca

[keen silo]

Gotta take into account evasiveness too

[bleak eagle]

Maybe i could replace sabrina for grimsley

To snatch

But lemme tackle shauntal first

[keen silo]

For Grimsley I would say just focus on killing it pre sync

Beef up 2 and is the tankiest and has good attack stats as well so post sync just not viable

And defense crush 1

[bleak eagle]

[keen silo]

[bleak eagle]

i blame aaron for being asleep

[keen silo]

Vespiquen:

Shame on aaron tbh, I've been attempting CS from 12am to 5.30am and still awake 😆

[bleak eagle]

i

tried to beat marshall with mina, darach and hop

for 3 days, not continously ofc

but it was prolly a solid 6 hours in total

so the reason why i was so desperate abt grimsley being mostly physical is because i refuse to go trough that pain again

[keen silo]

He's physical but he's a pain in the mind especially for offtypers... not sure what else to say but good luck

[bleak eagle]

i cant

do anything vs him

even post sync, i cant survive the 1st

does anyone mind if i send my collection? i am on round 4 vs grimsley and suffering

[keen silo]

Should be fine just send

[bleak eagle]

Sorry for spam

[mellow linden]

Man, if Hilda were EX that’d be the easiest recommendation of my life (don’t EX her just for this fight though).

Could try off-typing with SSR Cynthia + Giovanni, maybe?

Oh wait, Allister is there, so maybe him instead of Giovanni

[bleak eagle]

very

very good news

I somehow cracked the code

[keen silo]

🥳

[bleak eagle]

Oh iris...how ive been longing for this moment

[keen silo]

Enjoy your feast on Iris 😋

[bleak eagle]

I am mad that somehow hydreigon survived

But still, big nuke

And with that done, this week i managed to get both toothpaste boi (hilbert) and karen to EX

Big thanks to aurochs for showing me i wasnt winning with mina purely bcuz of rng issue

And krissy too

[keen silo]

[obtuse hound]

am i gonna be okay without vigilance on ssmorty and dauntless on silver?

[trail smelt]

Silver can just spam Solar beam or sacred fire instead

[obtuse hound]

my silver is non powerboost and not ex

i think im gonna have to poison stall, its not working again

even that probably won't work

grimsley is way too bulky

idk what to do, someone have any ideas?

and i can't ex someone, don't have enough champion spirits

unless i were to exchange powerups

wait..getting somewhere..

nearly won but sides kill :/

nvm i won.

[keen jasper]

With what team?

[obtuse hound]

ssmay, ssmorty, regular old silver

now im poison stalling marshal but ugh

i got a draw but since i died first i lost

havent won yet

[keen jasper]

Hop/Sycamore/Mina?

[obtuse hound]

i could try that

but rn im stalling with ss leaf skyla janine

[obtuse hound]

what's the strategy with them?

[keen jasper]

Mina will deal damage and debuff enemies, Sycamore sustains himself and Hop will buff crit and attack and can also heal

[obtuse hound]

does mina need cs2?

[keen jasper]

It will help

[keen jasper]

Also what round are you doing Marshal?

[obtuse hound]

r4

[keen jasper]

You might want to put Adrenaline on Sycamore

[obtuse hound]

which cookie color is that

[keen jasper]

It's on his grid

[obtuse hound]

oh let me check i might have it

i have him gridded for horn leech

[keen jasper]

Build him for Horn Leech and Adrenaline

[obtuse hound]

alr

alr done so ready to go

[keen jasper]

Did you grid Mina?

[obtuse hound]

wait should i grid mina?

nope

what should i grid her for?

[keen jasper]

Sync nuke

But I don't know since I don't use her

[obtuse hound]

is there a grid for her somewhere?

[keen jasper]

in #1009587872342478908

[simple storm]

if u can making her 4* helps

[obtuse hound]

i did

i have way too many 3*

powerups

[obtuse hound]

is there someone i can use other than mina or a less heavy grid? i ran out of sync orbs

[keen jasper]

Then I guess your option is to off-type unless you want to pull for SS Wally, which I know you won't do

[obtuse hound]

why makes you so sure i won't do it? lol

[toxic cobalt]

Mina can it it without a grid

Just put a lot of HP parameters

A real post sync

[obtuse hound]

can you tell me exactly whatv

cause i have her grid

but

im losing

[keen jasper]

Did you use Charm on Marshal?

[obtuse hound]

yeah

like a lot

[obtuse hound]

now it told me "but it failed"

and i do NOT have on no stat reduc

also sides' earthquake one shot mina

[keen jasper]

Marshal has evasion

[obtuse hound]

i won

but still, it didnt say missed

or he evaded

it said "failed"

[keen jasper]

Ok then, I guess it's time for the easy part now

[obtuse hound]

btw which round param is best for iris this week?

if i'll be using ssa cynthia

and bea

[obtuse hound]

and she'll be ex

speaking of which, let me do that now

[keen jasper]

Definitely the perma field parameter

[obtuse hound]

alr yeah

im tired shoulda thought of that

[obtuse hound]

unfortunately i keep losing

because bea gets one shot by sync

and quad queuing is impossible

bc round parameter i think

no matter what i do

is there someone with move accel and potion?

actually, nvm

[keen jasper]

You won I presume?

[obtuse hound]

no

just trying to find someone with move accel

sorry for the false hope

[keen jasper]

Cynthia's B Move has it

[obtuse hound]

i know i usually say that when i win

[obtuse hound]

unfortunately i can't unlock it in time

iris likes to buff

sorry

sync accel

[keen jasper]

What parameters are you doing Iris?

[obtuse hound]

sync move accel is what i meant

[obtuse hound]

post sync

[keen jasper]

Why not the perma field parameter?

[obtuse hound]

i tried skyla with speed

[obtuse hound]

i am

im doing that

but it screws up quad queue

which is the only way to for bea not to die to sync

[simple storm]

what move level is bea

[obtuse hound]

to cancel iris sync

[obtuse hound]

2/5

[simple storm]

she has sync stuff?

[obtuse hound]

?

[keen jasper]

How exactly when the fields don't wear off unless your Cynthia has Team Triage Tank gridded?

[obtuse hound]

she can't even sync in time

cynthia has to sync first for the buffs

[simple storm]

ssa cynthia and who else?

[obtuse hound]

skyla, ssacynthia and bea

[obtuse hound]

i have no idea

but no matter what i do the left gets in a queue first

[simple storm]

bea is gridded for max crit too?

[keen jasper]

Look at my clear with SSA Cynthia, Bea and Maylene

It's extremely easy

[obtuse hound]

bea isnt gridded and cynthia gives max crit

[simple storm]

i cleared with only cynthia and bea but both ex

[obtuse hound]

is bea ex?

[keen jasper]

No

But my Aura Cynthia is

[obtuse hound]

sadly bea has to take time to buff

and i can't quad queue

its impossible here

[simple storm]

what if u use an attack buffer instead

[keen jasper]

Maylene can help Bea

[obtuse hound]

mine too

[simple storm]

yah maylene

and leave bea to attack only

[obtuse hound]

then the issue of

gauge issues

cause meteor assault

[keen jasper]

Is your Bea 3/5?

[simple storm]

2/5

[obtuse hound]

nope 2/5

[bleak eagle]

Maybe use hilbert if u havent, tho ik u are short on orbs

[keen jasper]

And like I said, Aura Cynthia has move gauge acceleration on her B Move

[obtuse hound]

dont got hilbert

[obtuse hound]

can't use it in time

iris likes to buff

and not hit cynthia

[simple storm]

iris debufs yeah

-2 atk on entry

but how arent u tanking while at +6 defense

[keen jasper]

Breaking Swipe only debuffs by one, with Maylene on the team, Bea is going to have +5 attack

If you can't use Bea, then use another fighting type like Wally or use someone like Solgaleo

[obtuse hound]

cause iris crits sync every time

[simple storm]

solgaleo is good

try him

[obtuse hound]

bea would only have +4

why +5?

[simple storm]

+4 should be enough

with zone

[obtuse hound]

nope im having gauge issues

[keen jasper]

Because +4 from X Attack from Bea and +4 from X Attack All from Maylene -2 from preemptive and -1 from Breaking Swipe

[obtuse hound]

serious ones

and missing queues

even so

[keen jasper]

4 + 4 - 2 - 1= 5

[obtuse hound]

iris doesnt die in time

she has to die presybc

or no bea

unfailingly bea is one shot critted by sync

[simple storm]

then try presync parameters

makes iris less tanky

and cynthia can take hits super well

[keen jasper]

https://youtu.be/jCX8GZtWatY

Skip to 15:10

[obtuse hound]

should i have no stat reduc on jnstead of up hp 2?

[simple storm]

yeah ur not reducing stats at all

[keen jasper]

Give her offensive parameters instead

But don't put the strength parameters

Do it like mine

[toxic cobalt]

My advice is to dump Bea and use Solgaleo because of the spatk up param

[peak stirrup]

Who are good partners for OG Karen?
Already used BP Tangela
Round 4

[keen jasper]

You're doing Caitlin R4?

[peak stirrup]

Yes. Bad idea?

[keen jasper]

Eh, it's neutral

[keen jasper]

She needs a buffer definitely

And also someone to lower Sp. Atk. for her

[obtuse hound]

i nearly won but sides killed

[peak stirrup]

She can lower it to max in 3 turns

[obtuse hound]

help

[toxic cobalt]

Sounds like you’re close, just need to get lucky

[obtuse hound]

nah im getting farther

both sides full hp

heat wave/earthquake wipes entire team

only iris dies

im at a loss, this should be easy

only if quad queueing was possible..

[toxic cobalt]

Who is the third?

[obtuse hound]

wdym?

my team is maylene / ssa cynthia (EX) / bea

[toxic cobalt]

Do you know what is stopping the quadqueue?

What field parameter are you choosing?

[obtuse hound]

the field one..?

permanent fields?

[toxic cobalt]

Ah right. Not sure what would stop the quadqueue then. Odd.

[obtuse hound]

im trying to get bea to refresh gauge

but its a 20% chance

so i gotta reset a lot

and i dont have enough orbs to power up her sync move..and i just realized the team is underleveled

so im gonna save this for reset

[toxic cobalt]

Is your Solgaleo gridded?

[full mesa]

Bea has a tile which refresh on crit. Like 100% iirc.

[obtuse hound]

she's 2/5..

[full mesa]

I see

[obtuse hound]

i have a strike candy but

i plan to use it on ssred

[full mesa]

Don't candy her.

[obtuse hound]

haven't even done the LA

and i don't have orbs

which is why im saving for tomorrow

[keen jasper]

WDYM LA?

[mellow linden]

They mean Legendary Adventures

Do the Legendary Adventures, there is literally zero reason not to do them

[keen jasper]

Ah, I thought it's Legendary Arena

[obtuse hound]

just haven't gotten to it

but hopefully by reset i'll be prepared enough to beat iris

[grizzled nova]

having ss gio but using naomi instead

feels good

[main crow]

Naomi gang 👏

[low nimbus]

can anyone give good status stall team examples? i have erika and tangela but can't find good teammates for her in 2k mm. i have most spotlight and all f2p scouts if that helps.

[toxic cobalt]

#1011675077764456519 message

Although if you have all spotlight, then Leaf is superbly good at stalling. Just superb. BP Erika Janine Leaf is a team and a half.

[low nimbus]

aight thx for the tips!

[nova galleon]

I am not able to do 10mm.... Any team suggestions.....

[full mesa]

Have you ever done 4.2k or 7.5k?

•Blaine/May/whatever helps may for Grimsley.
•Maxie/Lyra/Silver-Courtney for Shauntal.
•AshEx/doesn't matter for Marshall.
•SSBlueEX/Bianca/SStevenEx for Caitlin.
•SkyalEx/BeaEx/Sonia for Iris.

[formal musk]

my first (not mm) hard lv 1 clear

[keen jasper]

I see a lot of monotypes

what lack of units does to a mf

[toxic cobalt]

Dewott

[toxic cobalt]

Should explore all the 3* and 4* pairs you have

For next week

[full mesa]

Yeah. Hit us up and let us help you if you want.

[wicked otter]

guys what is a good oof type team with maxie?

[tribal agate]

well Courtney is a must probably

as for supports anything that can ramp up his atk and crit asap so he doesn't have to press his TM is my guess

[wicked otter]

hmm i dont have courtney

[plucky pewter]

Bloody hell wally/gallade no grid lvl 130 no ex just hard carried against marshal

[wicked otter]

yea for on type wally is great

i was hoping he can off type,

[plucky pewter]

Just gotta do shauntal/Caitlin now and I'm done for the week

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, SS Wally did pretty good at 3/5 level 108 no grid

[wicked otter]

can ss wally 3/5 do off type?

his kit sounds amazing at 3/5 tbh and sp def debuffer also

[keen jasper]

Most likely

[wicked otter]

hmm i have 2 tech candy

i wonder

btw where is ss wally placed in hybried tier, T1?

[subtle forge]

That’s where I’d guess

[wicked otter]

is ss waly better than may or below?

hmm if i see mawile and blaziken, i think ss wally might be in t0 at 3/5

[subtle forge]

Maybe

I don’t really know

[plucky pewter]

Just going back and forth between Shauntal and Caitlin atm.. Whichever gets the completion first in just gonna off type the other with ash/red 😅

[boreal rose]

Ngl i think i wont be doing at least 2 MM in Kanto. (Other thwn 1st week ofc)

[plucky pewter]

Any particular reason or just gonna take a break from it during kanto?

[toxic cobalt]

Kanto weeks 3 and 5 look like the easiest

[eternal cobalt]

I don’t think anyone will struggle with Kanto

If they’ve been able to do hoenn/sinnoh/unova

5 does look extremely free

[plucky pewter]

Ahh righto.. I'm gonna have to get my Kanto mvp medal during the first 2 weeks 😅

[warped ruin]

what order do you guys recommend for the this weeks stadium?

I still am not the best at team building and i got a ton of units

[toxic cobalt]

As always, depends on what your teams are

I guess avoid Grimsley and Marshall round 2?

We can always help with teambuilding, identify the strikers and we can see what you have to support them.

[keen jasper]

Hard or master mode?

Always the primary question

[warped ruin]

Master mode

Ive completed it on MM 2K in the past

[keen jasper]

Oh, if you've done before, then you do it again

[warped ruin]

but i feel as Ive gotten newer, stronger units that Ive become too complacent and dependent on them

[keen jasper]

And you probably obviously have better units this time

[warped ruin]

Well as of recently Ive been using the defense based parameters

because any time I use the strength based recommended ones, my units get swept

[swift swan]

defense based? that's a bad idea and is only ever good for stalling

[boreal rose]

My bug and rock types suck

[keen jasper]

You have Olivia right?

[warped ruin]

the only problem is that whenever I go in based on the strength up builds, my time gets obliterated by time the first sync hits

unless if I'm using a really well rounded support

[swift swan]

using the strength params does require you to have a solid support. how about trying the presync param? your opponents have much less bulk. you can't let your opponent syncs though, but it's definitely more doable because they're squishier

[warped ruin]

I might try that

In those cases, do I still opt for a tech, support and striker?

I got the master pairs EXed, so I nearly always opt for those as my DPS

[toxic cobalt]

This is why I generally advise never letting the opponent sync.

[warped ruin]

So how do you usually got about trying to build a team around presync parameters? I peeped the pins and noticed the parameters to use

Sorry, kind of a vague question I suppose

[toxic cobalt]

Get a striker to +3 crit and +6 atk/spatk as fast as possible, and then whale on the middle for 3-5 turns

Eg. Dark week this week. Get Nessa, slap on 3/5 Hilbert and Misty and watch it go.

My clears this week (#1011675077764456519 message) were all pre-sync except Round 2

[keen jasper]

I wanted to try out Karen against Caitlin, and her damage is quite fantastic

[eternal cobalt]

Most things die after a support ex + your tech/striker sync

With quad queue that’s right before they sync

[warped ruin]

Thanks, I'll check this out

[warped ruin]

Ok, so to clarify, quad queue is getting in 2 syncs right before they sync once

So in order to do that, I need a pair thats able to reduce sync move count by at least one, right?

[eternal cobalt]

Right after your sync there’s a window where you can queue another move

[keen jasper]

Yes

[eternal cobalt]

.

[keen jasper]

But there will be some things that will sabotage your quad queueing

Like fields wearing off before your sync kicks in

[eternal cobalt]

Watch that I guess

[warped ruin]

I noticed that from a vid before

Thanks!

[eternal cobalt]

it’s not necessary but makes your life a lot easier

[warped ruin]

I got units like lear who help with that

But do i necessarily need a unit who can lower the sync count?

[eternal cobalt]

Nope

[toxic cobalt]

As bs says, nope but it makes your life easier!

[warped ruin]

Understood! Thanks again guys, gonna browse pins, experiment, and watch your vid. I'll keep you posted.

[toxic cobalt]

Another alternative to make your life easier is a flincher or sleeper

As that can interrupt the opponent and let you fit in extra moves

[eternal cobalt]

I found Caitlin pretty annoying this week

I tried using falkner ssserena Lucas but I kept messing it up
