Champion Stadium

[eternal cobalt]

(Also both 1/5 so that didn’t help)

Ended up just using ssr Cynthia instead

Rest were easy at least

Probably shouldn’t have done her fourth

[swift swan]

Caitlin? Nessa just Jaw Locked her way to victory

[eternal cobalt]

I should use nessa at some point

I think mines 3/5

Never tried her

I’ve been using bea with ssa Cynthia

Hadn’t really used any of the galar units outside Gloria and hop

They all seem pretty fun

Yeah I’ve got her 3/5

Maybe I’ll try her with ss Cyrus next dark week

He’s only 1/5 so just for zone and sleep I guess

[toxic cobalt]

Nessa doesn't even need a grid for dark

[keen jasper]

Me too

[warped ruin]

I've tried using SS Cyrus for that, and Anni skyla

[eternal cobalt]

Looks like a very rain/nuke grid

[toxic cobalt]

Both very good units I don't have

[eternal cobalt]

There’s the restrain move node I guess though

I’m a bit sad I didn’t go for anni skyla

[toxic cobalt]

I can't believe multiple people here haven't tried Nessa!

[eternal cobalt]

I think blue is my best flying type lmao, so I always just offtype

😬

[toxic cobalt]

Blue is a man who needs a perfect quadqueue

Also his multipliers can be finnicky without the right help

Sometimes I actually prefer Kahili

[eternal cobalt]

Hmm dark weak Agatha next week

I imagine nessa dark zone will be total overkill on Kanto cs

[keen jasper]

I'll just use my 3/5 Karen

[swift swan]

I swear by Jaw Lock Nessa for almost any Dark-weak stage

Hoenn ruined my Nessa propaganda but it's okay

[eternal cobalt]

Karen could also be fun

Don’t think I’ve used her since launch

[keen jasper]

Well, her expanded grid makes her one of the best dark damage dealers

[swift swan]

Aurochs, clearly this means we need to strengthen our Nessa propaganda

[swift swan]

gasp Blue can still clear 2k Flying though

yes, even Sinnoh. I tried.

but yeah he needs a perfect quadqueue

[eternal cobalt]

Saves my sanity by just exploding them with ss Steven

[swift swan]

yeah, but why not

[eternal cobalt]

true

Maybe I’ll see if Olivia 1/5 works for rock weak too

Somehow only got her the other day?

Not like it’s a new account either

Think trying new units for Kanto cs will make it a bit more interesting

[swift swan]

hmmm Olivia wants that Inertia nuke though

[eternal cobalt]

Instead of just murdering every stage off type

[swift swan]

mine's 5/5 EX and she's a godsend, really

especially in cases where I couldn't use Classic Blue because Sinnoh CS in particular hates him

[eternal cobalt]

Most of the time I just use one of these teams

Alder too I guess

Ex’d him the other day after being annoyed with sidney

Maybe a month ago

Haven’t stalled in quite a while

[swift swan]

man, I never make specific teams like that

[toxic cobalt]

Those teams should take out most stages

[eternal cobalt]

They do

[swift swan]

like, a team focused on each type unless it's for champion stadium (and even then I switch them up sometimes)

[eternal cobalt]

Saves me forgetting I used a unit already

Maybe I’ll ex Aaron

Bound to get him 3/5 eventually

[swift swan]

Maybe someday I'll get Aaron

[eternal cobalt]

I’ve had no luck with Bertha or lucian

Not that I need a new psychic type

Bertha looks nice though

[keen jasper]

Damn, Wally is insane

Level 125 and only the SE1 lucky skill and handles Marshal with ease

[eternal cobalt]

He looks fun but I just can’t justify going for him

[keen jasper]

And he's also not gridded I forgot

[eternal cobalt]

Definitely a slay though

Did it end up being also when he megas for the b move?

would be a bit weird if it wasn’t

[boreal rose]

But i csnt use her

And on MM i am umable to use her even more

[keen jasper]

Why?

[swift swan]

Oliva is a solid nuker. needs 3/5 and sand though, preferably

I kept underestimating Olivia only for her to surprise me with her damage

[low viper]

Need help on getting 2000 points from Marshal

My units kept getting one shot

[toxic cobalt]

++

[low viper]

Tysm

[toxic cobalt]

Hilbert can be replaced with Hop if not 3/5

[boreal rose]

If im right i dont have herb3)5

[boreal rose]

Oh. I have her 4/5

[lunar meadow]

Olivia and lycanroc is good as a sync nuke

[boreal rose]

But she dies most of the time i use her

No she is not 1st

[lunar meadow]

She does fast, ya.

You want to pre-sync with her

[keen jasper]

How many supports are there that can mega, 3 right?

[subtle forge]

7 actually

[boreal rose]

I can think of 2 rn

[keen jasper]

Ok, so there are 7 units that can help SS Wally then

[boreal rose]

I forgor about Glacia 💀

Also wdym

[keen jasper]

SS Wally's B Move

[boreal rose]

What about it

[keen jasper]

Nothing

[boreal rose]

Then how will it helo

[keen jasper]

?

[boreal rose]

How does Mega Supports help Wally

[keen jasper]

EX support with mega and also activates his B Move

[boreal rose]

Oh

Man.

I wonder how it will be in the futuree

"the character must have 5/5 and be a master fair" maybe

[timber summit]

Next week I'll have my first Kanto CS, is it usually hard?

[subtle forge]

Not really

[timber summit]

Not that the next week one matters tho since I can't do 10K

Nice

Thanks

[keen jasper]

I got to 12/18 in the Kanto CS during when I played for the very first time

But that was when I started since April 1 this year

[full mesa]

Ehh you're good. Kanto is child's game in front of Hoenn.

[keen jasper]

Hoenn and Sinnoh

I did play during the first Sinnoh CS

[full mesa]

I'm not counting Sinnoh because we both were newbies at the time.

[keen jasper]

Ah

Ok

So we both started around the same time then

[full mesa]

Am around 202-205 days account.

You should be hitting the 200 this or next week iirc.

[keen jasper]

I literally started back in April fools this year

[full mesa]

Ohhh Arpil. I started around early March if I'm counting correctly. Anyway, Kanto CSMM is a good chance to try out new units and be more risky with your comps.

[keen jasper]

https://youtu.be/vwxBRt0W75c

Pretty fucking insane

[full mesa]

Yeah. They usually do some insane runs.

[mint light]

I really like how you made teams based on themes

[trail smelt]

Revamped next week’s time so I can unleash Ash and buffed Karen in a monotype team haha

I fully expect Karen to suck since I don’t have CyruSS

[eternal cobalt]

Can’t be worse than she was prior to the power up at least lmao

[zealous karma]

Karen is more self sufficient now

All you’d need is like SSLyra or smth or any status change inflicted

[lavish lantern]

See I paired Absol with Karen

Another option is to also pair with Serena/Delphox

[trail smelt]

Monotype dark haha

[lunar meadow]

EriTangela is also a partner Houndoom loves

[keen jasper]

Well, by next week, I'll have for now, unlocked MM for all the regions of all the CS

[keen jasper]

Damn, even max HP Grimsley is not match for Silver

[full mesa]

Nah. Under sun SilverEx with seun buff deals humongous damage. The only issue is that you have to pre-sync this Grimsley or have heavy defence buffs with almost max hp.

[keen jasper]

I mean, I did 91k damage against Grimsley with Silver

With full set up

[full mesa]

Almost max damage.

[keen jasper]

But only dealt like 60-70k on the sides since I didn't lower their defense

But I'm pretty confident that it will deal the damage cap to the sides

I wish I had SS May to fully test Silver's damage

[full mesa]

I don't know what to use against Blue next week. Should I use the safe Hop/GladionEx/Speed-Accel support or go for off type with Volkner/Ash/Filler - Bianca/Lucian/SStevenEx?

[keen jasper]

Whichever works for you I guess

[full mesa]

I really need a good poison and rock type damage dealer.

[keen jasper]

You gonna pull for Firis?

[full mesa]

I really want a 3/5 Faitlin. But I'm gonna wait for next datamine.

After that I'll save for halfanni.

FIris is nice and all but she doesn't shine for me. Unlike the 3rd Anni units.

[keen jasper]

WTF man

Hold on

https://youtu.be/LTBk9uzrnGQ

There we go

Just my own demonstration of using Silver

[full mesa]

89k. The rest I think depend on the roll.

[keen jasper]

I need a fire-type that debuffs all opponent's defensive stats

[mellow linden]

Run Mind Games Lucky Skill on Kiawe

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any Fire type who can reliably lower Sp. Def., but I could be wrong

[keen jasper]

Silver is physical

[mellow linden]

Oh, you meant AoE defensive debuffs, my bad

[keen jasper]

Also, does Mind Games work with Kiawe's OaR passive?

[keen jasper]

Yeah

[mellow linden]

Unfortunately I don’t believe so

[keen jasper]

Oh, that would've been broken if it were so

[mellow linden]

Yeah

[full mesa]

None exists. What if you use Entei for the extra buff?

[desert wind]

is Caitlin this week physical weak or special weak

[desert wind]

dang

well guess I'm just doing it wrong since I can't seem to take her down with kuk- I mean the masked royal

[mellow linden]

Oh, so that’s why Karen’s damage seemed kinda low

[desert wind]

aaand I can't offtype because none of my good offtypers are physical

thanks game

[mellow linden]

Do you have Nessa?

[desert wind]

yea but I never use her

[mellow linden]

Use her alongside Masked Royal. Nessa has strong regular move damage with Jaw Lock and her Sync being Water type doesn’t matter since Masked Royal will Sync anyways

Would just need someone like Hop or 3/5 Hilbert/Sonia to buff Attack and crit for the team (Masked Royal handles Speed)

[desert wind]

oh wait

I forgot about my beasts

SCSonia & SSLyra

[mellow linden]

That could also work

[desert wind]

it did

now a special attacker for Marhsal

Marshal

would be a shame if

I had like 500 special offtypers

would be a real shame

[long thicket]

I might need to change my Fire damage duo for that fight.

Or just change how I use the trainer moves.

[nova galleon]

Whom should I round 2

[formal vigil]

Marshal

[long thicket]

Well I'm having trouble right now.

Lost every 2k attemps with my usual teams.

[formal vigil]

What teams your using?

[long thicket]

Usually:
*Fire: Silver and N
*Fairy: Diantha and trying Wally with her for the first time
*Ground: Maxie and usually Bertha as a tech, I don't have Courtney yet
*Dark: Zoroark and Darkrai

This is my second week trying for 10k and it didn't go that bad the previous time.

But here, it seems my units can't survive the opposing sync moves.

[formal vigil]

Who is the third unit in your teams?

[long thicket]

On type supports by default, but I'm willing to experiment.

Evelyn, Sycamore, Ingo and Piers right now.

Sometimes I try two supports for durability.

[formal vigil]

Does the fire team have enough guage?

[long thicket]

I'm aware that going for on-type supports isn't the smartest thing, so it's only my first choice.

And uh, I manage to attack with N's 4 move several times, it's more of a defense issue, it seems.

Like units getting almost one-shot by the sync move.

And this is despite me using Evelyn's trainer move.

[formal vigil]

Yah that's normal in fire weak grimsley also what move level is your n?

[long thicket]

1...

Every master fair I have is 1.

[formal vigil]

Might be worth replacing Evelyn with someone that can buff crit and special attack to set up n faster

[long thicket]

I can also use N's grid since it's blank right now.

[formal vigil]

For the fairy team sselesa is a good unit to run in the third slot
For ground get rid of bertha and ingo and run someone that sets sun like ssmorty , erika or Blaine for third hop could be decent dark just run something like a giocat or something instead of piers

[long thicket]

Elesa lost in two hits.

I managed to beat the other two trainers, but Marshal still had a lot of health left.

I don't know if I wanna do this anymore.

[magic crown]

Made a few changes that my dark and fairy team

[full mesa]

It's Kanto. It's easier than Hard mode.

[rose ermine]

Am i good for next week

[simple storm]

How could u not be

[toxic cobalt]

Hilbert Dewott flex

[rose ermine]

Sinnoh has me no longer underestimate stuff

[simple storm]

Grant team iffy but rest fine

[rose ermine]

OH SHIT I FORGOT WEATHER FOR GRANT

I think that's better

[simple storm]

Can grant be a solo dps

[rose ermine]

He can prob nuke the mid

Pray i flinch with rockslide on sides

[eternal lodge]

finally got ash through pity, only problem now is i cant use it unless i wanna 4.3k since i got a funnier team

[dark osprey]

Grant nuke is painful and not worth it imo. Could get lucky with the flinch I guess

Brock at least works mostly

[old orchid]

Brock is easier to setup and more worth than Grant

[long thicket]

Ended up going for 1500 by fight and it's been going better.

Sidney has an excellent sync move with zone, so gridded him and it went well.

Used Maxie alongside two supports and it went well too.
The Gardevoir duo worked better with the 1500 parameters as well. I was lacking something with 2000.

Grimsley is still a bother so far, though.

I've EXed Sygna Red so I tried using him instead of Silver. Although that also required replacing N by Blaine.

I could be able to use the Pikachus and off-type him, but I don't wanna do this without guarantee that I wouldn't struggle against Iris.

[keen jasper]

Your Silver is power boosted and EX?

[long thicket]

Silver's EX, but I'm not sure if I unlocked the further grid expansion for him.

On easier Fire weak stages, my strategy was to sync with Silver and exploit the sun with N.

[keen jasper]

Let me see if it's expanded

[long thicket]

He's gridded already, actually. But I don't think it's expanded.

[keen jasper]

Can I see?

[long thicket]

Yeah no, it's not, unfortunately.

[keen jasper]

Oh ok

He can literally FTKO Grimsley at round 2

With his expanded grid and EX

[long thicket]

I'm gonna try this.
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13300/25000?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBh0fICEiIyUmKSorLi8

[keen jasper]

You're going hybrid?

[long thicket]

I feel like I could use the sync boost?

Not sure which attack I should focus on since I do count of N post sync.

[formal vigil]

Does your silver have dauntless?

[keen jasper]

If he has CS2, you're better off using Sacred Fire

[long thicket]

If it's a cookie thing, no.

Only time I used these was for Brendan so Leaf Storm wouldn't lower stats.

[keen jasper]

What's Silver's lucky skill?

[long thicket]

I don't use cookies.

[tired sleet]

Use it then?

[long thicket]

There, I'm done.

[eternal lodge]

ready to have fun on kanto

[keen jasper]

I forget what are the other 6 types I needed to unlock Kanto MM. Oh well, I'll find out on Monday

[magic crown]

Oh my lord

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, nice damage from Lodge Lillie

[magic crown]

Thank you

[keen jasper]

Was that with -6 Sp. Def.?

[magic crown]

No

After a support ex buff

[keen jasper]

She could've dealt more damage if you lowered Marshal's Sp. Def. with Discombobulate

[magic crown]

My ss wally is 1/5

[keen jasper]

Oh ok

[magic crown]

But I will definitely candy him 3/5 soon

When I get the resources first

[keen jasper]

I got him to 3/5 within 8 multis, but for the first time, I'm gonna go all the way to 5/5 and SS Wally will get it

[magic crown]

Are you sure you wanna do that 5/5 isn't really necessary

[keen jasper]

There's a first time for everything, even for something like this

[magic crown]

Well go for it then

[keen jasper]

Well first I gotta save my gems right?

[keen jasper]

Damn, mine only dealt 58k and Marshal also had -6 Sp. Def.

[fringe valve]

Is it just me or is grimsley really tanky?

[mild hemlock]

He does have 4x HP (28960). In comparison, Iris has 1.8x HP (13032) and the rest have 2.4x HP (17376)

*Before any Strength or HP options

[fringe valve]

Ah thats why

[primal field]

Is it good to use this team again iris (for first time clear)? And what additional effect to add?
Elesa with support minimal and volkner as tank

[umbral plume]

If it's your first time clear as in you're not in master mode

[primal field]

Yes

[umbral plume]

You really want to push to clear with as any types as possible

As you need all 18 types entered in the hall of fame in order to unlock that region's master mode

Ash should be more than capable of carrying hard mode without zone and with a different typed support

[primal field]

One more thing, if my Mons faint or Iose does it still contribute to this?

[umbral plume]

As long as you clear the stage and clear the champion all types and teams are counted

It takes a minimum of 2 weeks to unlock as you have a max of 15 units each week

[zealous karma]

I want a mode like that tho

Not villa

But if you lose one pair you lose the match

I know there’s those missions but it’s not the same

[umbral plume]

We'll have the stages spam nothing but AoE

[primal field]

Also I am forced to select additional effect for boss, which one to select?

[umbral plume]

Each round has a parameter that is applied to the battle

You can see all of the parameters from the little menu button

The order you choose to fight them in is how you select which parameter you'll have

And the champion will have 1 parameter of their own + you will choose one parameter of your choice from the previous 4 rounds

All parameters apply to allies and enemies alike

[white gale]

if you can choose permanent field effect, that is often times outstanding in your favor - weather, terrain, zone, move gauge accleration... all outstanding

[nova galleon]

I am not able to defeat grimsley

[dark osprey]

What move level is ss May btw?

And hopefully you are lowering their defenses

[magic crown]

[zealous karma]

That’s the same stage I got 99Knqirj my Serena a few months back

[nova galleon]

1/5

[dark osprey]

May still work. Hope you're lowering their defense

[nova galleon]

Yes

[nova galleon]

She dies in first sync of opponent

[dark osprey]

Shouldn't be allowing them to sync. Do you have power boosted silver by any chance?

[nova galleon]

No

[formal vigil]

It's probably worth still using silver even if he isn't power boosted

[dark osprey]

Ss May should be better I would think

[formal vigil]

So replace Blaine and use someone that buffs attack and crit like hop to replace misty

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Hop seems to be the best option there

[nova galleon]

Which sync grid should I prefer for hop

[formal vigil]

Just run something that has potion mp refresh/master healer and tm mp refresh(mostly for defence buffs)

[plucky pewter]

ooft having troubles on r3 mm, been unable to push through it for a few days, have caitlin and shauntal to do :/

[dark osprey]

Is it Caitlin or Shauntal the issue?

[plucky pewter]

both, am unable to beat either

have tried both pre and post sync

[toxic cobalt]

What are the teams?

Do you have Nessa and Naomi?

[plucky pewter]

Naomi yes, Nessa no

I've been using ss erika/maxie/skyla and Cyrus/Summer N/Classic Gio as my teams

[mellow linden]

Replace Skyla with someone who buffs Attack, IMO. Otherwise Maxie is spending too many turns buffing. By Cyrus I’m assuming you mean SS Cyrus?

Also, do you have Courtney?

[keen jasper]

Damn, even at max HP and max strength parameters, Wally's sync did 92k without crit at +3 sync buffs

[toxic cobalt]

Why SS Erika?

[keen jasper]

Who?

[mellow linden]

They’re presumably using her in case Sun needs to be reset

[toxic cobalt]

Well then I’d keep Skyla and replace her. Sun will last through presync

Also R3 is infinite field effects right?

[keen jasper]

Yeah

R4 is Reflect

[next solar]

Which one will be best to tank hits from caitlin

[keen jasper]

Someone to boost Sp. Def. for your team

[next solar]

Can you from my Pokemons?

Can suggest*

[keen jasper]

Your best option is Sycamore, but you'll have to sync with him first

[mellow linden]

Any particular reason why you’re trying to off-type Caitlin?

[keen jasper]

Also, what round are you doing her?

We obviously know this is hard mode but still

[next solar]

It's my first time

[next solar]

Because I don't have other Pokemons left

[keen jasper]

Yes, what round are you doing Caitlin?

[mellow linden]

Already did Shauntal?

[next solar]

Yes

All 3

[mellow linden]

Alright

[keen jasper]

Ah, so round 4 then

[next solar]

Yeah

[mellow linden]

You have Courtney, perchance?

[next solar]

What you mean?

[keen jasper]

Do you have Courtney/Camerupt?

[mellow linden]

If you have Courtney you could do Bertha + Cynthia + Courtney with Bertha tanking

Speed clear

[next solar]

Oh let me see

[mellow linden]

Ah, wait, Cynthia’s only 1/5, scratch that

What did you use against Shauntal?

[next solar]

Palkia regirock alakazam

[next solar]

Because this team wasn't clearing Caitlin

So i thought garchomp is stronger and will be able to off type this

[mellow linden]

Could you show us your whole roster? I think you have better off-type options. Cynthia at 1/5 isn’t doing a whole lot, tbh

[next solar]

Okay

[mellow linden]

Could try Hop + Maksed Royal + someone to fill a type

Just make sure Hop has all his MP Refresh tiles

[next solar]

Who is hop?

[mellow linden]

Zamazenta

Hop’s the trainer

[next solar]

Okay I think garchomp can do better tho I just need someone who can tank some hits

[mellow linden]

IMO you’ll do better with Masked Royal, but if you’re dead-set on Cynthia then Hop works there too

[plucky pewter]

look i'm not gonna lie, for some reason i was thinking skyla was atk/spd not def/spd lol
also yes i do mean ss cyrus
and yes i do have courtney

[mellow linden]

Could do Hilbert/Maxie/Courtney for Shauntal then

[plucky pewter]

was there for sun set up tbh

[mellow linden]

Hilbert’s move level would only affect whether Maxie needs to use his Dire Hit+

[toxic cobalt]

Pretty pointless for round 3

[next solar]

Garchomp smoked em

[toxic cobalt]

Also maxie can usually win before sun goes

[plucky pewter]

my hilbert is 3/5

[plucky pewter]

yeah, mine isn't

[toxic cobalt]

Bung him in then

[mellow linden]

Perfect, Maxie can just spam Precipice Blades then

[plucky pewter]

thanks for that, got shauntal done

[nova galleon]

I am done with 10k

[rigid flint]

Impossible

Grimsley is surviving Hilda's sync in sun

Should I sync with Hilda first or get the support ex sync in first

[mellow linden]

Support EX 1st

[rigid flint]

Aight

Everything else should be ezpz

SS Serena destroys Shauntal

And Wally destroys Iris

Perfection

[keen jasper]

Lol I'm dumb

[rigid flint]

Nani

[keen jasper]

You saw nothing

[rigid flint]

squints

r u sure abt that

[keen jasper]

Yes

[rigid flint]

I sense misinformation

[trail smelt]

Grimsley from what I recall has been VERY annoying whenever I used Hilda or a subpar Annie N team

[mellow linden]

Hilda + SS Erika + 3/5 Hilbert or 3/5 Sonia works quite well against Grimsley this week, in my experience

Though my Hilda had Inertia tile access and EX

[undone ether]

Grimsley is Rock weak today?

err this week

[keen jasper]

Grimsley is fire-weak

This week

[undone ether]

ah

i went with Redzard

[keen jasper]

I went full YOLO with Silver

Damnit, SS Wally off-typing Caitlin with max HP and max strength is too hard

Even removing some HP parameters is still too hard

[plucky pewter]

i gotta work out my teams for kanto mvp badge for next 2 weeks now

[undone ether]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAX5oIxIvV0

lmao

[toxic cobalt]

I have a dream of seeing as few characters as possible. I suppose we can count Pikachu as a character

[austere fable]

How did you guys beat marshal?

[toxic cobalt]

[austere fable]

I mean there are no real fairy strikers for the most part

And trying it with bede, sycamore, SSwally isn’t working

Though i am using the 2k pre sync build

[toxic cobalt]

SS Wally isn't working?

[keen jasper]

Does your SS Wally have MP refresh on his TM?

[austere fable]

Ye

I switched to that, first sync and B move didn’t do much, second sync completely wiped him

And then I got cleaned up by the supporting units

[toxic cobalt]

Nukers do have that problem. Have you tried nuking a side with the first nuke?

[austere fable]

Ok i managed to do it by replacing bede with SS Ethan, using his sync countdown reduction to get more sync nukes, as well as his aeroblast to help with the side units

[plucky pewter]

I did it with SS Wally, Sycamore and SSBlue

[keen jasper]

I did Marshal with Sycamore, Lodge Lillie and Hop

[austere fable]

Ok how the hell…the champion was the easiest of them all to beat

[keen jasper]

Most of the time it's like that

Also, since we're used to the gimmicks of Hoenn and Sinnoh CS, the rest are just plain too easy

[austere fable]

I used Wally/aura cynthia, and ss guzma. Guzma one shot a side unite with a 0 miss hammer arm

Sorry, SC guzma

[dark osprey]

Ss wally and Bede are a good combo. Sycamore though on that team didn't help

Wally has to sync first if there's no other mega on team

[full mesa]

I used the all time classic Bianca/Lucian/SStevenEx on half sync round.

[dark osprey]

There was a half sync round this week also?

[keen jasper]

Yes, round 2

[dark osprey]

Ah. Guess I thought it was last week only

[iron oar]

What's a good point target to go for if this is my first MM?

[keen jasper]

4.2k or if you can, 7.5k

[iron oar]

Ok

[crystal galleon]

I was wondering why I wasn't having any real problems and after my second battle my sleep-deprived dumbass realized I forgot to turn master mode on
Not sure how that happened, to be honest

I wouldn't mind the reset button taking away my rewards if it meant I could restart from the beginning and actually have master mode on

[toxic cobalt]

Still got time to roll through the champion and then reset

[full mesa]

Ιt doesn't take away the stage rewards. Complete the challenge on hard mode. Unlock reset and then try against on MM for the extra rewards.

[crystal galleon]

I know it doesn't, I'm just saying that I'd rather they take away the rewards and not make me complete hard mode so I could just go into master and re-earn them

[full mesa]

You don't re-earn them. You earn the MM rewards. The stage rewards can only be earned ones. Complete hard mode and then do MM for the extra rewards.

[toxic cobalt]

Sometimes I get paranoid and exti a battle to check I've put the parameters in

[full mesa]

And then you have to reset the battle a dozen times until you get the desired outcome in the first 3 turns.

[crystal galleon]

I know, I know
What I was trying to say was I would like it if I lost the earned stage rewards on hard mode upon resetting, and then after the reset play master mode, get both the mm rewards along with the stage clear rewards
This is only if they let us reset in the middle of hard mode, which they don't

[full mesa]

Reset without completion. I see.

[sick inlet]

[faint haven]

Am I good for next week?

[tribal agate]

fam you're good for the next year

it's Kanto, the earliest CS, even level 120 gridless 3* can do it lol

dw about it

[swift swan]

you're good for the whole Kanto

[faint haven]

Aight thanks, I'm relieved

[swift swan]

Sinnoh should be for November?

[tribal agate]

🙏

[toxic cobalt]

Will be weird if it's the Unova VA without Unova CS. They should sync them. AND THEN RELEASE KALOS CS NEXT

[swift swan]

run Unova CS alongside Unova VA and skip Sinnoh? I can live with that

[swift swan]

what if they revamp Unova CS

[frosty axle]

I would like to see them move Sinnoh to level 2 mode and Hoenn and then make a lvl 1 mode for them and lvl 2 modes for the other stadiums

its like a waste having lvl 1 and nothing else

[rigid flint]

True lmao

[keen jasper]

They should make Ultra Hard and Super Hard CS difficulty

[rigid flint]

I feel like Sinnoh and Hoenn are on a whole nother tangent as compared to the rest of the CS'

[keen jasper]

I can imagine what it'll be like for Kalos and Galar CS

[rigid flint]

Oh boy

[keen jasper]

I can imagine Tough Skin 9

[rigid flint]

Pls no

[keen jasper]

Or Wise/Sentry Entry x4

[rigid flint]

So just make all future CS' extreme battles

Gotcha

Oh and you can only use pairs from that region for the region boost

[frosty axle]

I don't mind wise entry if there are alternatives but not Tough skin

its annoying 😒

[keen jasper]

Tough Skin 9, 100% damage mitigation if not super effective

[rigid flint]

Lmaooo

[keen jasper]

Or what about half sync cooldown parameter with Head Start 3?

[rigid flint]

Nightmare for the off typers

[keen jasper]

[swift swan]

True, I wonder if they will implement level 2 once all regions have a CS

[keen jasper]

Including Paldea CS?

[toxic cobalt]

Pasio CS with champion Paulo

[tribal agate]

omg Rachel Sawyer Paulo redhead girl and Lear as champion

[keen silo]

Tough Skin 10

Opponents regain HP if attack is not super effective

[tired sleet]

Kanto has no random BS right?

[tired sleet]

U can check ur medal in game iirc

[toxic cobalt]

Kanto is remarkably chill

[plucky pewter]

so an easy medal to obtain? 🙂

[toxic cobalt]

Yes

[plucky pewter]

alright good to know.. will have to do that for the first 2 weeks

[swift swan]

Rachel, Sawyer, Lear, Tina, and Paulo as the champion. PERFECT

[keen silo]

Pasio CS but then you fight yourself after the elite four

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[formal vigil]

[swift swan]

how about, you fight the main character you didn't pick

if you play as Scottie, you fight Bettie

[keen silo]

[keen jasper]

[eternal mist]

Are there any tough stages in the next csmm

[toxic cobalt]

Middy it's Kanto

[zealous karma]

So Lorelei

[full mesa]

No. It's Kanto.

[keen jasper]

Hello, is this the Kanto champion stadium?

[eternal mist]

OK great ty

[errant meadow]

What teams could I do for MM?

[zenith flame]

Who's generally more annoying to 2k, Marshall or Shauntal?

[zealous karma]

Marshal is weak to fairy shauntal is ground

Sycamore can handle Marshall or even mina

But shauntal can be annoying

If you lack good ground coverage

I’ll try with hapu brb

[zenith flame]

Currently at infinite field effect phase. Either Cynthia bodies Shauntal or Bede/New Wally body Marshall

[zealous karma]

Oh wait

Well infinite field wally and Bede is free

If Cynthia beats ground just fine you’re prolly fine then lel

[zenith flame]

Yeah, it's OG Cynthia

[zealous karma]

You’ll be fine for either then lel

[zenith flame]

Wait a second. I was about to say I'm worried about physical damage resist on Round 4, but that's about the time it takes Cynthia to buff

Marshall it is. Thanks for the tips!

[errant meadow]

Can anyone help?

[zealous karma]

Crits negate shields anyways so lel

[zenith flame]

Oh, perfect! I thought the CS effect ignored that

[zealous karma]

Shauntal: Cynthia hilbert Acerola
Fairy: skyla Diantha EleSSa (sync with diantha first)
Fire: SSR hop Blaine
Dark: Ash SSB SSTred
Fighting: bea BpCoba kukui
@errant meadow

That’s just great

I hate it here

[zenith flame]

I hope you get this because I think it would be funny

[subtle forge]

The no crit lifestyle fr

[full mesa]

Hahahaha 2 sync buffs and she deals only 2.8k. Hahahahaha.

[errant meadow]

What mm boosts should I run?

[full mesa]

Check the pins

[sharp totem]

there we go

might see if i can manage 9k

shauntal was prolly the hardest

ss giovanni does 10k with max quake at the start but killin chandelure after that is rough

[zealous karma]

#1010274591601598555

[sharp totem]

miscalc'd by 50

[subtle forge]

Rip

[sharp totem]

gotta do it again

after this i'll be at 25 which means another ex tomorrow

[toxic cobalt]

You’ve got so many options you could even offtype all five. What have you looked at so far?

[sharp totem]

lets gooo

ive only been playing consistently for a month or so

[eternal lodge]

gg

you could try to do the last stretch before the reset

[heavy plinth]

Super new here, so, sorry if this isn't quite the right place to ask, but I'm doing CS and have been having trouble with Caitlin due to my lack of dark-type options (pretty sure I just have all of the perms). Any suggestions? I can send stuff like my EXs or whatev if that helps, I just want to get my clear in. Fire and Fighting on the other two remaining battles should be fine, it's just this one that's got me in trouble...

Couldn't see any better spots so I might as well slap it here- it's these and Karen, who I EX'd on a whim while trying to clear the stage. (Probably shouldn't've done that, but at least the colours are cool.)

[swift swan]

Nessa + Masked Royal is a great dark option

Jaw Lock Nessa hits hard

but well, you can always offtype with the two pikachu

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Or any of the crazy EXs you have

Dojo Gloria, Ciris are great physical options

[swift swan]

honestly I think any of the striker and tech EXs in that screenshot can clear Caitlin easily lol

[dark osprey]

Yeah lol. Those are all top notch damage dealers

[plucky pewter]

By "Super new here" I'm assuming you just mean to the discord channel and not the game right going by that one screenshot

[heavy plinth]

I meant to the server as a whole yeah lol

I've been playing on and off for a while now but with Dragalia Lost winding down to its eventual eos I've been playing Pokemas as my main gacha these days

I tried a rain team with Dojo Gloria, May, and SS Blue before, but it didn't quite work out-

I'll give double Pika a try, but thanks for the suggestions! I never realised that Nessa was a good dark type damage dealer until the messages here just now made me re-check her, haha.

[keen jasper]

I mean Dojo Gloria is physical while May is special

[heavy plinth]

Stage is kinda built for physical attackers yeah

Don't really have another rain user though lol

But yeah thanks! Means a lot to get these responses so quickly

Time to commit mouse arson

[swift swan]

I swear by Jaw Lock Nessa

spreading my Nessa propaganda

[swift swan]

yup, just checked pomatools. caitlin has higher-than-normal special defense

[keen jasper]

I still don't use her

[swift swan]

Caitlin's stage is fully special but they encourage you to use physical attacks lmao

[keen jasper]

Karen still does the job done

[heavy plinth]

In honour of you I will attempt to use her next time a dark weak CS battle happens :NoelleSalute:

Oh wait I don't have nitro any more lol

Anyways it went well! Caitlin died to a hyper beam near the end (skill issue on her part tbh) but the pikas wiped easily

[toxic cobalt]

Anti sycamore sedition

[heavy plinth]

And now to turn off my brain

Silver/SSMorty time

Actually what's a good third unit to go along with those two?

[dark osprey]

Lyra or Marley helps with the nuke

[keen jasper]

I'd say Lillie for guaranteed crit on Silver's sync

[fringe valve]

I'd argue SS red as a 2ndary damage dealer

If your morty is ex

[heavy plinth]

He is lol

[keen jasper]

Or someone to lower defense

[heavy plinth]

Will I have enough gauge to manage all three of those

[fringe valve]

For sure

Red buffs his speed and morty has guage acceleration

[keen jasper]

Morty provides speed buff and move gauge acceleration, how can it not be fast?

[heavy plinth]

Okay true actually

[fringe valve]

Red also got some grids for guage

Is it still Unova CS after this reset?

[heavy plinth]

Also out of curiosity would special attacker silver still work fine here or does morty have any funny hidden special defense stuff

I think it's kanto next?

[keen jasper]

No, next is Kanto

[fringe valve]

Oh

[fringe valve]

Ideally you would go overheat dps on a dual striker comp

So yeah

[heavy plinth]

And sync with red if I have to sync after morty's probably right

[keen jasper]

Blue is weak to rock for two weeks in a row

LMFAO

[fringe valve]

You could sync with red, but syncing with morty is probably better

Since you're running 2 strikers

Ex support overheats + blast burns should just delete any cs stage off type

[heavy plinth]

Oh I said 'after morty's' as in 'after I sync with morty, if I get a second sync'

But yeah that's fair

They'll probably melt before I finish a second sync cycle lol

[fringe valve]

Yeah you won't get to the 2nd sync

[dark osprey]

honestly, with Super Command & full offensive parameters, Silver's first sync does OHKO

[fringe valve]

Off type?

[dark osprey]

i thought it was on type

not offtype surely

[fringe valve]

I think you could sync with either here depending on if you have red ex'd

Forgot what silver's 2nd sync multiplier is

[dark osprey]

yeah. guess not much of a difference either ways. then could probably try & maximize SSReds nuke

[keen jasper]

Solar Flare 9

[dark osprey]

silver it was inertia mainly

then the two solar flares

[keen jasper]

Silver has Solar Flare 5 and 9

[fringe valve]

Silver is probably the better syncer here

Since you're not maximizing haymaker

[dark osprey]

yes. if ontype that is. I was assuming that it was

with supercommand on TM

[fringe valve]

But this scenario will likely never happen since this is after an ex support firing blast burns and over heats

[keen jasper]

I remember my Silver doing 93k damage with -6 defense against max HP Grimsley

Pretty awesome

[dark osprey]

yeah he's really good. it seems a bit weird with the support EX sync first.

[fringe valve]

Assuming we're trying to clear an off type stage, with a dual striker comp team, I don't think that's weird at all.

[dark osprey]

Yeah. For offtype super command wouldn't be used

[keen jasper]

You'd probably need MP refresh on his TM unless you're gonna bring an external buffer

[fringe valve]

Man i just want sinnoh cs back

[keen jasper]

Sinnoh CS might be a few months away

[fringe valve]

Aaron would be funny now

[keen jasper]

Ash can decimate anyone even if they have Wise Entry x2

[fringe valve]

Yup

Aaron's vespiqueen has caused alot of people grief I've seen.

[toxic cobalt]

insert Aaron L

[swift swan]

well you're in luck, you can try it out this reset!

[swift swan]

nah, last time, Sinnoh was right after Kanto

[swift swan]

I miss Aaron L

[toxic cobalt]

To think they’re starting us off with the hardest week

[zealous karma]

Can we have Aaron L back onlu during Sinnoh CS run

[dark osprey]

while on that point, with only Red Pikachu, Aaron will still be slightly painful I guess

max move may be helpful I guess

[keen jasper]

You think Ash and Red can be able to take out max HP and strength Aaron?

[dark osprey]

yeah that would be most probably

with just Red at 1/5 I'm thinking people will have some issues

[toxic cobalt]

I’m sure it will be fine

[dark osprey]

yeah guess so. with a denial, could nuke Aaron before the heal probably. would still need an EX on team I guess preferably support

[toxic cobalt]

Aarons not that hard

[dark osprey]

haha. true. its just he isn't as easy as we used to get it

[keen jasper]

Less than 10 minutes

[swift swan]

Can we please have Aaron L emoji already

[swift swan]

Well I beat Aaron with 5* 0/20 Hau. Should be fine now that mine's EX then I'll pair him with SST Red cause I don't have Ash lol

[swift swan]

I'd say Lucian is harder. Bug-weak Lucian is gonna leave me in shambles

[dark osprey]

waiting to try out Noland, Bugsy, Aaron combo against him as well

[keen jasper]

And alas, I've unlocked Kanto MM

[dark osprey]

lol. u've been through the worst I guess. now its time for some easy stuff

[swift swan]

Anything after Sinnoh and Hoenn is child's play

Inb4 they give us Kalos CS

[rose ermine]

Since mina+sycamore didn't work,will this offtype team work?

[dark osprey]

should mostly. Mina Sycamore and surgechu is kinda tried and tested though

[plucky pewter]

The most annoying part, unlocking mm again 😂

[rose ermine]

Damn it worked

Calem op

[trail smelt]

Even in Kanto

I still hate all our fairies

Anyway since we got Rock for two weeks straight I decided to dust off my old Olivia nuke team

Hildiancie can take a break

[primal field]

Sorry for ping, I don't get this part

[formal vigil]

You can only fill 15 types per weeks since you can only use 15 units to clear

[primal field]

I can reattempt a stage on next week with the rest?

[manic mica]

stages will be different

[formal vigil]

Next week you can fill missing types then after you can reset to try master mode

[manic mica]

u can check pins to see what it'll be next and for the whole month

[primal field]

Thks

[undone ether]

Hehe

[formal vigil]

Nice

[magic crown]

Non ex tech nuke

[undone ether]

Only 1 sp.atk

[full mesa]

Had to off-type Lance with Bianca/Lucian/SStevenEx. Also I had to off-type Blue with SSRedEx/SSBlueEx/Ninetales eggmon. I hate this week.

[undone ether]

Ontype lets go

Done

[rose ermine]

Lucky pserena haver

I wish I had a decent fairy type

[formal vigil]

Damm for fairy weak I just used mina ,sycamore and hop and destroyed the stage no problem

[undone ether]

maybe nexttime @rose ermine

[rose ermine]

Lance giga impact-haha no

[formal vigil]

Oh I did it pre sync

So no giga impact

[cosmic vortex]

Had to use my makeshift fairy damage dealer annilillie for fairy...at least I'm glad that i wont need to offtype poison anymore after getting fallIris ...i doesn't even realise lance have giga impact, i guess he ded before he can even use it

[keen jasper]

My SS Wally did 42k against Lance without sync buff

[bleak eagle]

Any toughts on this teams for each round?

My olivia is only 1/5 so i decided to offtype with the arguebly strongest team i have

[swift swan]

Presync it I also used Sycamore to tank Lance. Died to a presync Double Edge but I just reset

[swift swan]

Good enough

[bleak eagle]

Rounds are okay or should i change some around?

[swift swan]

Remember SSB needs an MPR to max crit. Also if he's EXd, then he and Sycamore fight for 1st sync

Round 1 goes to whichever team has an EX support

[bleak eagle]

He is indeed ex, and i dont think i have him gridded to give crit

He's 2/5

[swift swan]

Round 3 reduces physical attacks right? Might be better fighting Bruno there

[swift swan]

Grid for TM MPR at least. Or bring a faster crit buffer

[swift swan]

Oh shoot I just realized

Your N team doesn't get crit at all?

I say replace Skyla with Hilbert if he's 3/5, and grid for Critical Squad on TM. Hilbert is one of the best partners for N. Another option is 3/5 Sonia

[bleak eagle]

Would it be better if i send my collection?

[swift swan]

Sure

[bleak eagle]

But i can tell u, my sonia is 1/5

[swift swan]

Oh, 2/5 Cynthia doesn't have her full nuke yet... But this is only Kanto so you should be fine with DPS

[bleak eagle]

I wonder if i can usr all 3 just for the meme

[cosmic vortex]

which bp master unit you claimed with the free bp ticket? if cobalion probably can put cobalion in ssacynthia team and move hilbert to N's team

or use hop on ssacynthia team, you gonna sync with her anyway

hop can buff atk and crit

[bleak eagle]

I got coballion, yeah

Tought i had finally gotten the ropes of team building

[swift swan]

Ok so here's my advice:
Switch Skyla and Hilbert's positions. Grid Hilbert with Critical Squad on TM. Then Skyla can provide Bea with the speed that she needs for Inertia nuke. I don't remember if 2/5 SSA Cynthia can buff crit with Focus Group yet, probably not. Bea can max her own crit if you grid her with Sharp Entry 1

SSB is a good tank for Lance, but grid him with TM MPR so you can max crit. He's EXd so sync with him first. Can replace him with Hop if you need more consistent healing (Hop also needs TM MPR to max crit)

[cosmic vortex]

so hilbert go help N's team, and hop help ssacynthia team probably...as hop also buff atk, so he is much better to help bea than cobalion

[swift swan]

Cobalion helps with the Fighting Teamwork passive

But yea, then Bea will take a while to setup

[cosmic vortex]

yep but ssacynthia doesnt buff any attack

[swift swan]

Bea can raise everything she needs... Just takes a loooong time

[swift swan]

No worries, you're doing pretty well

[cosmic vortex]

yep its just kanto cs, it is not that hard...my N doesnt even use elec terrain yet he can clear this week's elec weak

[swift swan]

I feel sorry for Lorelei

[cosmic vortex]

lol, i used N, djgloria, hop to clear lorelei

[swift swan]

Be grateful I'm not pulling for Ash

[undone ether]

i went with Ash cuz Lorelei wants to evasion :x

so i went with Pikachu/Ash + Clemont

Piercing Gaze

[swift swan]

Lorelei raises evasion? I didn't even realize 💀

[cosmic vortex]

really? she have evasion?

[undone ether]

yesh

[cosmic vortex]

same, i doesnt realise

[swift swan]

I only remember Fighting-weak Lorelei having bullshit evasion shenanigans

[cosmic vortex]

time for scguzma

[undone ether]

lulz

[swift swan]

The fighting-weak Kanto and Johto stages have annoying evasion shenanigans that it became a meme

[bleak eagle]

So with all changes taken into account

This would be the final teams right?

Ignore team 8, das just for when im lazy and i origin pulse everything to death lol

[cosmic vortex]

kinda, ssblue and sycamore doesnt compete sync?

[bleak eagle]

It does but i was told to use blue first and grid crit

Which is weird cuz ive regridded blue many times but i dont remember seeing a crit tile at 2/5

[sick inlet]

Oh

I forgot we got cs today

[cosmic vortex]

well if sycamore doesnt sync and gonna use ssblue for sync, maybe use other pair to replace sycamore...

[bleak eagle]

Who do u suggest? I have my collection a few msgs upwards

[cosmic vortex]

you already have sycamore fully gridded?

if got probably change to moonblast or hybrid build, then probably easier

his moonblast can deal good damage to help lisia moonblast

[bleak eagle]

I have both of them gridded, tho iirc lisia has a defog focused one

I can change them tho

Im still fixed on if the round order is correct or not, i feel like the main problem is i cant use the sp def down round appropiately

[toxic cobalt]

Fairy can’t do spatk?

[bleak eagle]

But, for example, for the less phys atk one, the 3 other teams have a major loss in dps

Think its round 3

[swift swan]

To The Top MPR. IIRC he should have it at 2/5

Round 3 basically gives physical damage reduction shield at the start of the battle. Easily ignored by critical hits

[bleak eagle]

I think his grid is all set

[toxic cobalt]

The physical and special shields exist only to stop you quadqueing they dont affect your damage

[undone ether]

wut smart cookie SS Blastoise?

why

[obtuse hound]

2 weeks of no pretty much no ex cause ive never done kanto :')

who's good r1?

[marsh vault]

Kanto is the easiest of the CS

Probably way easier then unova

Also hi @sick inlet

Long time no chat

[sick inlet]

Hola amigo

[manic mica]

is 2/5 olivia useable for 1.5k blue

i was planning to use multi attack silvally

[rigid flint]

I cleared Lorelei with volkner and ash

That was fun

[keen jasper]

I just cleared Lorelei with my recently 3/5 Ash

Did 27k+ damage without ET

[rigid flint]

Sheesh

Yeah ash is cracked man

[sick inlet]

I think she has access to inertia at 2/5 which makes her viable to use

[manic mica]

cool cool

ill try her and gladion

[trail smelt]

Fwiw I don’t think any of the rounds are particularly debilitating for you. For round 1 just pick a fight where you use an EX Support

[keen jasper]

I almost damage capped with Ash against Lorelei

If I just dropped 1 or 2 Sp. Def. of Lorelei using Red, then it would've happened

But I'm afraid I might killed them too fast

Finally, I damage capped Lorelei with Ash

[mellow linden]

Ah, I love the relaxation that is Kanto CS

[keen jasper]

And then Kalos CS comes with Head Start 3 and half sync CD on champion parameter

[mellow linden]

Considering Hoenn was arguably toned down compared to Sinnoh CS, I’m not super worried about Kalos CS tbh

[keen jasper]

I'm super worried when they'll implement Tough Skin

Or Wise/Sentry Entry x6

Or maybe both defensive entries at x6

[mellow linden]

Entry x2 already makes it nigh-impossible to use the specific damage category, any higher would be redundant.

If they put both entries on a stage it’d be Poison weak and intended for stall, they did something similar with Poison weak Wallace

[keen jasper]

Poison weak Wallace was clearly meant to demonstrate SS Steven

[mellow linden]

He wasn’t but ok

[keen jasper]

When was SS Steven released and when was poison weak Wallace again?

I forgot

[mellow linden]

I don’t remember, but CS stages designed for a specific Sync Pair are always weak to that pair’s type

Ground weak Aaron, Bug weak Lucian, etc.

[toxic cobalt]

Please keep clears to #1010274591601598555

[manic mica]

oh sorry

[last palm]

i cant do CS this week

[mellow linden]

You mean you won't be able to access it this week?

Because Kanto CS is the easiest region, shouldn't be hard at all to help you clear if you're having issues

[last palm]

i havent unlocked the type has 3 more

[mellow linden]

Oh, you mean you haven't unlocked Master Mode yet, got it

Fortunately it's only 1 week, not a big deal in the long run and everyone has to do it for each region once

[last palm]

[frosty axle]

My new runs are up https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1026479104259801158

[full mesa]

I did a second run with a clearer mind. Kanto it's too easy.

[violet timber]

Just had my Agatha run use run along now after I went nuclear on her with Karen and the recoil knocked herself out

And I think I should be posting this in stage clear it was just funny so I shared it here

[violet timber]

dang

[umbral plume]

No worries, glad your question was answered by others

[onyx ice]

Depends what teammates you have

She should

I don't think Olivia gets much from 3/5 grid

[toxic cobalt]

A post sync Agatha win from trainer move is a thing of beauty everyone should get to experience

[keen jasper]

I somehow defeated Agatha with my Karen being low and avoided all the sides' attacks

Probably thanks to +6 evade from BP Janine

[obtuse hound]

is agatha physically defensive in hard mode?

[full mesa]

Ι used SkylaEx and AbsolEx to take down Agatha. AbsolEx with max hp can survive the sync and with sync more round parameters your aoe can deal with sides.

[full mesa]

She is nothing in Hard mode. Just beat her.

[obtuse hound]

trying for types

running out of good ones..

its not like really hard or anything

its just a teensy bit annoying

[dark osprey]

Maybe try slotting a special defense buffer

Dragon Drake, psychic Liza, water Misty is what I can think that's easily accessible

[quaint solar]

Stuck Hard. Can't win the last match

[mellow linden]

Hard mode, right? How many types have you done so far?

[quaint solar]

No. I'm doing master mode

[mellow linden]

…That team has terrible synergy

[formal vigil]

maybe replace nanu with somene that buffs special defence or speed

[mellow linden]

Well, not terrible synergy, but you could probably have an easier time if you focused on Blue’s Hyper Beam

Even if you do want to focus on Double Edge, Nanu is redundant because Bugsy + Scyther is there

So I second the suggestion of replacing him with someone else, ideally a tank

Could do Classic Giovanni + Classic Blue + tank so Blue still gets Haymaker

[zealous karma]

That’s more overkill than me using Sabrina you should be beyond fine

[quaint solar]

Got it done. Took alot of resets though

[mellow linden]

Ok

#1010274591601598555 is probably better for that

[zealous karma]

I’m

Way to close

To all EX weeks

[austere quest]

I can’t wait until I have all of the Master Modes unlocked

I believe I am on my way

[trail smelt]

How many types have you entered this week?

[zealous karma]

Dang

HoliSkyla is a good unit

[bright furnace]

first time i've seen holiday skyla in use in a video myself tbh

[zealous karma]

I can’t wait to use her some more

And I think I saw HSkyla once before

But it was in a random spin the wheel

So it doesn’t count lel

[trail smelt]

All Skyla’s are at least solid units

[zealous karma]

HoliSkyka underrated is my new bandwagon

[simple storm]

hey

i need help in a 2v3

i got 2 rock strikers

1/5 blue and 3/5 ex lycanroc

i dk who to use for blue at 2l

2k

and which support

like ingo, aaron, sabrina all ex

[dark osprey]

probably try ingo & Olivia

should work

[simple storm]

olivia kinda dies

cause i cant presync

maybe ill use post sync params lol

ingo ex sync first right

[zealous karma]

You could use blue and Elessa

I think Olivia’s nuke is strong enough to kill everythint first sync for Kanto

[keen jasper]

Or just off-type 2v3?

[simple storm]

yeah but i wanna hit ontype

cuz its cool

and also to see if maybe i would need an upgrade in my dps

[zealous karma]

Olivia for sure can do it

But post sync

If you have Faitlin

She’s kinda perfect here

Shields defense buffs accuracy and Atk

[simple storm]

no faitlin

so sad

i also have ss morty

3/5

maybe with blue

[zealous karma]

Those will work

[gusty ravine]

Next week 7.5k im coming for u

Miiiight try 10k since kanto cs is quite easy

huh wait i can swap morty for ss cynthia great

there we go

[boreal holly]

That roster can definitely 10k

[sick stump]

this is my 10k teams for next week, hopefully it should go ok

it is a crime to lose on Kanto with these team

[sick stump]

phew

[full mesa]

It's a crime to lose on kanto in general if you're at least a month old player. Also those are more than overkill.

[mellow linden]

Calling it a crime is a big exaggeration. If someone’s having trouble with Kanto CS it just means we’ll likely have an easy time helping them succeed since most likely they just need to slightly improve team synergy or gameplay

[nocturne hull]

What does “make use of moves with additional effects” mean? What additional effects do they mean?

[keen jasper]

Additional effects like flinch, burn, lower stats, etc.

I think the chances is doubled on that parameter

[nocturne hull]

Thank you!

[swift swan]

also, correct me if I'm wrong, that param only applies if there's an innate effect on the move. Like chance of paralyzing from Thunder, for example. it doesn't apply to passives like Ghetsis's Cold Snap or SS Leaf's Venomous 4

at least that's how I understand it

[keen jasper]

Has this been tested before?

Also, do things like Hostile Environment and Aggravation stack with this parameter?

I think it works because my Acerola keeps on flinching with Aggravation gridded on Astonish

[mellow linden]

It stacks, but I’m not sure whether it’s additive or multiplicative

[keen jasper]

I think multiplicative because my Acerola guarantees flinch everytime

[last palm]

not 100% flinch volker so i assume it is additive

[mellow linden]

Well if additive it would be 90% for Acerola, so very likely to flinch every time in a fight since it’d be on the shorter side

[long thicket]

I need a good support for Lance, alongside the Gardevoir duo.

[keen jasper]

Well, Lance mainly does physical attacks so a support that buffs defense for your team

[long thicket]

Each one I've tried so far lose in one hit except Sycamore, who doesn't last that long.

[keen jasper]

You lost to Double Edge I assume?

[long thicket]

I think it was Giga Impact?

[swift swan]

additive I assume

[long thicket]

Okay, no, it's Double Edge.

[keen jasper]

Definitely need defense buffer

[long thicket]

I tried Sygna Blue and, well...

Despite buffing defense for thing with him, he still went down.

[swift swan]

Have you tried Hop? Make sure he's at full HP before Lance uses Giga Impact to activate Healthy Benefits

[toxic cobalt]

Reset until no double edge

[last palm]

ultimate strat

reset till they only use TM

[swift swan]

resetting is always an option I also reset because Sycamore got one-shotted by Double Edge lol

[long thicket]

It was a little dangerous, but I did it with Hop.
But Double Edge was the dealmaker.

Trying 2k, by the way.

I might wanna EX a Dark striker eventually.
But I'm not sure.

[dark osprey]

Who and what move levels do you have?

[long thicket]

They're all at 140 for gridded/upcoming grids.

Otherwise, they're 135.

Oh, for Dark Striker?
My options are OG Karen and a 3/5 seasonal N.

[dark osprey]

3/5 Seasonal N sounds great

[swift swan]

I vote for N

[long thicket]

But so far, the dealmaking for me is unlocking a song.

But eh.

[swift swan]

although Karen's sync move isn't bad now, so EX is actually worth it too

[dark osprey]

135 is more than enough tbh

[long thicket]

He has 140 because full grid.

My only units at 135 are 3 and 4* general pool units that don't have a confirmed grid expansion yet.

I also have Darkrai for Dark type buff.

[dark osprey]

The general pool dark techs are also great

[swift swan]

screaming praises from the rooftops about how good Jaw Lock Nessa is for dark stages

spreading my Nessa propaganda

[keen jasper]

I still won't use her even if mine is 3/5

[swift swan]

[long thicket]

I should grid Bertha.

Well, I had her gridded, but as sync nuke instead of full utility.

She might need for more defense.

[last palm]

she has something like sand guard reduce damage under sandstorm tho

[long thicket]

I should use her with Ingo, then?

I should see who I have that can do sandstorm after the initial one leaves.

There's Acerola, but I'd have to use either as tanks instead of a support.

(I've tried Ingo for Rock)

[dark osprey]

Jaw lock Nessa awesome. Hope she gets dynamax soon

[dark osprey]

Bertha with ingo seems redundant

[last palm]

Bertha is free 3 sandstorm and she can buff +3 crit if you have 2/5 tho

besides speed ingo contribute nothing much when pair with Bertha tho

[keen jasper]

Doesn't Drednaw have G-Max?

[dark osprey]

I meant in Pokemas

[keen jasper]

Yeah, G-Max Drednaw

For PokeMas

[dark osprey]

Nessa doesn't have max moves in this game yet

The hope still remains though
