Nope

swift swan
#

or plumeria, but I'm not experienced with plumeria's DPS or nuke

dapper coyote
#

Janine/ariados and Lucy/seviper only😅

white gale
#

Can you get BP Erika?

toxic cobalt
#

Off type or stall

dapper coyote
#

I can

white gale
#

BP Erika/Janine/Xerneas has yet to fail me on a poison weak CS battle (getting 2k)

dapper coyote
#

She's good?

white gale
#

she's guaranteed single target badly poison (and trap)

dapper coyote
#

Ohh that's nice

white gale
#

yeah, so after 3 turns, all enemies are badly poisoned, after 3 more roudns all are trapped

#

all the while Janine Venom Drenches, Xerneas stays alive and you stall them out

dapper coyote
#

Nicee

#

I'll try it then

toxic cobalt
#

Blue does have sync cure though so you need to survive the sync and reapply poison

dapper coyote
#

Ohh

white gale
#

ah yes, but I didn't catch it for 2 turns and still won

toxic cobalt
#

With extra poison field parameter it should be fine

white gale
#

yeah, choose the "status effectss is more potent" option

dapper coyote
#

Alright thanks!

#

Erica needs sync grid upgrades?

white gale
#

nope

#

she basically needs to be at like lvl 100

dapper coyote
#

Cool cool

white gale
#

I just checked, my Janine lvl 105 (no grid of course), Erika lvl 115 no grid

dapper coyote
#

Wow

white gale
#

got 2k with that

dapper coyote
#

Nice

#

And i sync with xerneas or someone else?

static sorrel
#

what parameters are good ?

white gale
#

but like Aurochs said, after Blue's 1st sync, hit him again with Toxic

dapper coyote
#

Got it

white gale
#

sync with Xerneas first to get the speed and SpDef buffs

dapper coyote
#

Yeah

white gale
#

after that, sync with him if he needs healing (get his Recuperation grid tile), otherwise you can sync with JAnine. She eventually does decent damage with like 5 sync buffs

dapper coyote
#

Ahh okay

white gale
primal field
#

Trying to do mm for 850 pts/per, in the chart given any thing recommended to replace 300 pts max move gauge -2 with?

swift swan
#

Strength is the go-to

#

Although the move gauge -2 is one of the best params, it's basically free. You can even still carry two 4-gauge users if you have a good speed support

primal field
swift swan
#

Yes

#

We don't generally recommend switching out max move gauge though

primal field
swift swan
#

It's a good param

swift swan
#

But speed support is better than someone who can only give move gauge acceleration or move gauge boost. Speed is forever, gauge accel is temporary

primal field
#

OK, thks

eternal mist
#

Good luck

dapper coyote
#

I'm assuming my characters need to be properly built for MM with sync grids upgraded?

swift swan
#

minimal grid should be fine for most, this is Kanto after all

#

start out with 4.2k points, so 850 total. parameters are on pins

#

then you can raise your points slowly if you want

dapper coyote
#

Alright

frosty axle
dapper coyote
#

Yeah

dim trail
#

hello! I just wanted to confirm, cause I feel like I missed the message reg. it, but I can only use one team once during champion stadium ?

#

so per battle, I need to use a different team ?

dapper coyote
#

Btw dumb question what's pre sync post sync?

dapper coyote
toxic cobalt
dapper coyote
#

Ohhh

dim trail
#

Notable 3* and 4*s for champ stadium?

toxic cobalt
#

Skyla Misty Roxanne Koga Janine Liza Cheryl

#

Marley

dim trail
#

thank you

toxic cobalt
#

There are quite a few useful ones, it really depends on what your strikers need

frosty axle
toxic cobalt
#

You can do what you want, the parameters are just suggestions

swift swan
#

I managed to postsync with hyper offensive presync params, it was wild

dapper coyote
#

Any suggestions for this team? I can't beat onyx even at 850 points

toxic cobalt
#

Use Cyrus

dapper coyote
#

I used him for lance

swift swan
#

Hmm what are your other water units

toxic cobalt
#

Is everyoen gridded?

swift swan
#

Tbh Cyrus is my best water striker too SophoKEK

dapper coyote
#

I've gridded may and Aaron a bit

swift swan
#

Aaron gives crit right?

dapper coyote
toxic cobalt
#

I'm literally googling Aaron to see lol

dapper coyote
swift swan
toxic cobalt
#

What does bee man do

swift swan
#

Smh non-aaron havers

toxic cobalt
#

Okay why aren't you winning

#

That is a +3 crit +4spa may

swift swan
#

under rain

dapper coyote
#

🙃

toxic cobalt
#

Actually a +6 spa may

dapper coyote
#

How +6?

toxic cobalt
#

4 from rosa 2 from herself

dapper coyote
#

Oh yeah

toxic cobalt
#

Not that I think the last +2 matters too much but it helsp

dapper coyote
#

Eh I'll try again

toxic cobalt
#

Why is there no gear

#

I suppose should win without gear too.

dapper coyote
swift swan
#

It's okay, extra stats are nice to have

dapper coyote
#

How do we get items to exchange for it?

toxic cobalt
#

Just wait for the next 3* gear event honestly

swift swan
#

Co-op, but much better to wait for gear events or pokemas day

toxic cobalt
#

is there a reason you're not using SS Blue

dapper coyote
toxic cobalt
#

Ash doesn't need help lol

dapper coyote
#

Lol

#

So use him instead of Aaron?

swift swan
#

You can give that a shot

#

Make sure May has max crit

dapper coyote
#

Aight

#

Finally did it after multiple tries😮‍💨

#

He was keeping on using iron tail and almost one shotting the pokemon

swift swan
#

Blue's very bulky, I don't know how he could go down that easily at 850 points

dapper coyote
undone ether
#

post all your sync pairs that you have on there.

#

(Filter by have and havenot)

nova garnet
#

Interesting, I'll do that

undone ether
#

and then screenshot what sync pairs you've already done.

undone ether
#

damn no lucian

#

@nova garnet are your levels okay? D:?

#

Right click on their rarity or sync level

nova garnet
#

yeah i was just adding the list, i only bumped up a few sync pairs' move levels

undone ether
#

need to see all your actual current sync levels and rarities

#

also, try filtering by Type 😄

nova garnet
#

btw how do you save these lists so i dont have to redo it when i close my browser

toxic cobalt
#

Click export/save and it'll give you some code

#

You can paste that code back in to get the same results

swift swan
#

You got brendan? Ss erika/ss morty/brendan should wreck stages

undone ether
#

btw

toxic cobalt
#

Nov I've done my f2p clear #1011675077764456519 message Sleep hax week

undone ether
#

@nova garnet it can autosave

#

which means as long as you click the link again

#

it should get your stuff back

nova garnet
toxic cobalt
#

Which stage are you trying to do?

nova garnet
nova garnet
# toxic cobalt Which stage are you trying to do?

just like...any of it? i used my ss pikachu to clear 1500 points, and that was my best team. i feel like i have good sync pairs, but the game makes no sense when it comes to team building, stats and battles.

#

it all feels so inconsistent.

undone ether
#

which sync pairs did you use on VS Agatha?

nova garnet
#

ss pikachu/yamper/luxray

#

in round 2, it says to use physical attacks. but my water, fighting and dragon teams are all special attackers. so i tried going for a strong neutral effective team.

toxic cobalt
#

Well don't do Lance round 2

#

Use physical attacks means physical attacks are boosted, but special attacks aren't weaker

#

What are your water fighting and dragon teams?

nova garnet
#

dragon is deoxys/rayquaza/pelipper. gets wrecked.

#

fighting is gallade/latios/vespiquen. gets wrecked.

#

water is kyogre/palkia/psyduck. havent tried it yet.

toxic cobalt
#

These are weird teams. They don't really get sufficient buffs.

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

Usually you just have one striker and you buff it

toxic cobalt
keen jasper
nova garnet
#

gallade buffs his own accuracy, no?

keen jasper
keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

40% of the time it works every time

#

You can do it with Gallade, you just have to not hit mid with anyone but your striker

keen jasper
#

Wally only has +2 accuracy on his TM, he only has 1 100% accuracy move

toxic cobalt
nova garnet
#

aight so what's a good third for rayquaza/pelipper

#

i was using deoxys cuz it helps defend. ive used latios in the past, but like i said, i use latios for so many dang teams

keen jasper
toxic cobalt
#

Depends on Rayquazas lucky skill

nova garnet
#

he's got dauntless

keen jasper
#

Eagle Eye is too RNG and you don't have someone to buff Zinnia's stats

toxic cobalt
#

Sweet. Then anyone who buffs crit and spatk

nova garnet
#

but wouldnt the team be super squishy at that point

#

cuz i feel like the game requires defenses on some level

keen jasper
#

You'll have to finish Lance off before he syncs

toxic cobalt
#

Latios does work of course

#

No defence needed if they're dead

keen jasper
#

Zinnia's damage is strong enough to do that even without EX and expanded grid

toxic cobalt
#

Wait Latios does not work, well not at base

#

Sabrina is nice.

#

If gridded.

nova garnet
#

so who does crit and sp atk support? i dont have this knowledge at hand yet

keen jasper
#

SS Brendan

toxic cobalt
#

1/5 though

#

You can filter. Known moves->all->and then select crit and spatk

keen jasper
#

Or you can do Lyra and Blaine

nova garnet
keen jasper
#

No, Lyra is too squishy

nova garnet
#

falkner. damn, need to get him levelled up.

#

but that's 3 flying types on my team. nice synergy.

keen jasper
nova garnet
#

1 lol

#

but he gives crit and sp atk at that point anyway, so i figure ill try him out

swift swan
#

Falkner at base is good enough

swift swan
undone ether
#

could just use

#

Palkia + Kyogre + Aaron

#

+1 Accuracy

#

and crit

#

😄

toxic cobalt
#

Good luck with your gauge

frosty axle
fringe trail
#

Kyogre should swamp Water-weak with minimal help

#

all u really have to do is provide Kyogre with speed/gauge

undone ether
#

yeah i think kyogre should work

frosty axle
#

he does fine but not with Palkia you were suggesting

undone ether
#

hehe yeah sorry

#

actually i was gonna recommend uhm

#

Aaron, Masked Royale and Kyogre

#

that should do it

#

-ATK is good enough

frosty axle
undone ether
#

+6 Speed and atk debuffer

#

Aaron will keep uping everyone's defenses

#

as long as you have EX Kyogre

#

i think you'll be fine .-.

hexed brook
#

Anyone beat the stadium to 10k yet?

frosty axle
#

Yes

#

why?

lunar meadow
#

People beat Kanto to 15k I'm pretty sure.

My highest attempt I tried was 12,700

frosty axle
#

I don't even bother with anything more than 10k

swift swan
swift swan
swift swan
keen jasper
#

The only time I went above 10k was on the Unova CS at 15.4k

frosty axle
swift swan
#

I wish the 10k reward wasn't just mere 10 BP

frosty axle
#

ye its quite disappointing

swift swan
#

10 BP... per week

#

at least give me a iBronzePowerUp or something

hexed brook
#

I want to know what pokemon were used, to help me a bit

frosty axle
hexed brook
#

Thanks bro

frosty axle
#

no problem

long thicket
#

Might need help finding a good combination for 2k Bruno.

swift swan
#

Cyrus/Winona/Roxanne

long thicket
#

Um, I see, yeah, Palkia has a water move.

swift swan
#

and then sort by Recent Activity

long thicket
#

I have EX Lillie and Sonia to sync with if needed, don't know if she's good on this stage.

#

But I'll try this first.

swift swan
#

Sonia is better I guess, she has better defense

#

but it will also depend on what striker you're gonna use

#

generally build around the strikers first, not the supports

long thicket
#

Gonna try Cyrus here.
I have Piers too, but he has a weakness on that stage.

#

Oh, Sonia too...

swift swan
#

Cyrus can max his own stats but he needs to cut his own HP for that

#

so if you don't want that to happen, bring someone who can buff sp atk and speed for him

#

preferably crit too, but he can buff his own crit easily with no drawbacks

long thicket
#

I have a good amount of options for rain, like May and Kris.

swift swan
#

kris? ss kris?

#

perfect, Cyrus/SS Kris/May is my go-to water team and they wreck things easily

long thicket
#

Yeah.
What's the strat then? Because I struggle with health.

toxic cobalt
#

Kris has potions

#

Cyrus should win before there is a problem easily

#

Use Dragon rend to ensure he gets to +3 crit before switching to hydro pump

#

And sync with Kris not Cyrus

long thicket
#

Ally healing is down and they're already low.

long thicket
#

I can't prevent Bruno to sync.

#

Kris isn't EX, though, so syncing with her over May might not be a good idea?

swift swan
#

you want to sync with her anyway for the sync burst, so you can get an extra +2 sp attack and SMUN

long thicket
#

I see, I can try.

swift swan
#

unless you have MPR of course

long thicket
#

And oh, it's that fight where you have to reboot if Bruno opens with Iron Tail...

swift swan
#

my SS Kris almost got oneshot with iron tail. first aid kicked in, I could get her sync in, and she died right after from another iron tail. cyrus and may finished it off, easy

toxic cobalt
#

Especially with SS Kris buff

long thicket
#

Didn't go well.

#

I'll check the grids.

#

I was close from beating Bruno, but then there would be the issues with the other two trainers.

spring fable
#

i ran ss kris, cyrus and may for bruno

#

only cyrus gridded

swift swan
long thicket
#

And there are times where Onix just avoids everything...

swift swan
#

get at least 1 hydro pump accuracy tile

#

I recorded a run for you, hold on let me upload it

#

and wow this run was clean, Bruno didn't use iron tail at all WEEZing

long thicket
#

Which grids do you recommend?
I just got Cyrus' expansion.

#

Oh okay, you showcase it.

#

Well, my Kris is 1/5, but oh well.

toxic cobalt
#

Kris and May grids are kind of irrelevant

nova garnet
#

what settings do yall usually choose for these battles? im trying to see if i can be smarter about it so i can win

#

im seeing yall say "kyogre is fine." i attempted it a few times last night and kept losing. can someone hold my hand thru this pls

nova garnet
#

Cuz this is my team, and I'm only going for 1500 pts

frosty axle
#

you might want lots of speed for Kyogre

lunar meadow
#

I typically run +STR parameters, and usually win by the second sync.

With that team, mistyduck and Primarina have 1 gauge moves which helps Kyogre stay in control of the move gauge

nova garnet
#

so go glass cannon method. ill try it.

lunar meadow
#

Mistyduck buffs your defenses, and Primarina can interrupt their turns to extend the sync timer

nova garnet
#

phewwww that worked, ty. i guess the str buffs are less scary than i thought

frosty axle
#

strength makes it a lot easier

long thicket
#

Well I clutched a win with Sygna Johto instead...

lunar meadow
nova garnet
#

i see i see, this is great to know

lunar meadow
#

If you are going for a pre-sync win and don't want the enemy getting any more defense or health, then the "+attack" parameters are fine because the goal is to kill them before they can attack.

But the "+str" parameters give them WAY less offensive stats, in exchange for a little more defense and health. As long as you survive the first enemy sync, it's much more reliable to win this way.

#

@nova garnet

Using Leon/Eternatus as an example:

Level 125: 226 atk, 319 satk
Level 135 (str+1, 100 points): 238 atk, 337 satk
Level 125 (atk+1, 50 points): 249 atk, 351 satk

So purely from an offensive threat viewpoint, even the weakest rank of +str parameters is a big chunk less stat boost than +atk. And gives more points to you for winning.

To get the same points from +atk, you'd need to use a higher rank or also add +def, which functions the same way to give more defense to the opponent.

long thicket
#

I have the feeling there are no good Fighting sync units.

#

Since almost all of them are from the base game.

#

Not sure how to use Bea.

lunar meadow
#

What do you mean?

long thicket
#

I feel like Fighting is lacking.

#

Granted, I lack Keldeo and Lucariotwo.

lunar meadow
#

Sirfetchd is amazing.

Gallade and Solgaleo are good enough.

#

Cyncario is a tank, not damage

long thicket
#

Like what should I use for Lorelei?

lunar meadow
#

What rank is your Sirfetchd?

long thicket
#

Not sure what's the best way to use Bea and her 4 tiles move.

#

And what to use with her.

#

5/5, lv. 140.

#

Not sure if gridded.

lunar meadow
#

Sirfetchd, Medicham, and any tank can easily sweep 2000 master mode

#

I'd recommend a tank with some kind of speed boosting or defense dropping just for synergy. A-Marowak and Cobalion are good

long thicket
#

Medicham for damage?
I don't know about that.

lunar meadow
#

No

long thicket
#

So Kiawe (5/5, no EX) with Bea and who else?

lunar meadow
#

Medicham to buff Sirfetchd attack stat before sync.

And after sync, give Sirfetchd 100% accuracy on two hits in a row because lorelai stacks evasion

long thicket
#

Maylene, so two supports?

lunar meadow
#

Round 1:
Sirfetchd X attack
Marowak shadow bone
Medicham x attack all

Round 2:
Sirfetchd X speed
Marowak shadow bone
Medicham X attack

Round 3:
Sirfetchd X speed
Potion or shadow bone, depending
Medicham Attack

Sync with Sirfetchd

Post sync:
Medicham buff accuracy, Ducc attack
Medicham buff accuracy, Ducc attack

#

Sirfetchd is definitely top tier gen pool. He needs almost no support after 3/5 (but appreciates someone else buffing speed or attack to get his multipliers faster)

onyx ice
#

For Lorelei i used this

long thicket
#

I lose Kiawe before sync, if not worse.

lunar meadow
#

Are you going pre-sync, or str params?

long thicket
#

I have to do pre-sync?

#

I'm following post-sync.

lunar meadow
#

I never do pre-sync

long thicket
#

I'm doing 2k post-sync.

lunar meadow
long thicket
#

Then I should check Kiawe and Bea's grids.
Also, no EX for me.

long thicket
#

Letting my phone juice up a bit for now, then I'll look into the grids.

Does anyone have any challenge run suggestions this week I had a really tough time using a wheel for regions and only allowing myself off type EvelynNotLikeThis

mellow linden
#

Flannery Burn stall?

zealous karma
#

I wouldn’t even regular poison stall no way I am doing that

lunar meadow
# zealous karma Does anyone have any challenge run suggestions this week I had a really tough ti...

I always do monotype 2k clears.

Another fun run can be "optimize" teams.

Or a 5x toxic stall week. That one was a challenge... Definitely not fun but glad I got it done!

I've also enjoyed triple species teams. I've beaten (at 2k):
Charizard/Charizard/Charizard
Gengar/Gengar/Gengar
Raichu/Raichu/A-Raichu
Eevee/Umbreon/Umbreon

Ones I've not done:
Onix/Onix/Steelix (might be impossible)
Sandslash/Sandslash/A-Sandslash (I don't have a-slash)
Arcanine/Arcanine/Arcanine (I forgot to last week)
Venusaur/Venusaur/Bulbasaur (don't have lodge bulb yet)

#

Oh, I also completed a 15 EX support run!
That was hard... Enemies that are water and bug weak are easy, and fire isn't too bad.

But some supports do NO damage lol

zealous karma
#

I can do 15 Ex supports

#

Optimize is a bit to easy for me this week

#

And monotype is kinda my normal runs

full mesa
void estuary
#

Is kanto easier then the other champions? I keep seeing people saying kanto is ez 😮

zealous karma
#

Yes

#

It being the first one makes it’s difficulty level much easier than the others

#

For me currently the regions go

#

Hoenn>Sinnoh>Johto>Alola>Unova>Kanto

mellow linden
#

Kanto is usually considered the easiest CS due to how old it is, yeah

void estuary
#

Uh oh I'm scared 😮 kantos my first and only 10k clear

mellow linden
#

IMO the difficulty is roughly as follows:

  • Kanto, Johto, and Unova are the oldest 3, and for the most part their gimmicks amount to “don’t use physical or special (depending on the stage)”.

  • Alola is a little more difficult than the previous 3, but moreso because the fights themselves are actually more challenging than because of increased gimmick use.

  • Hoenn, despite being the newest CS, is IMO only the 2nd hardest because outside of Steel weak Glacia (who is extremely resistant to physical damage even though Steel is a dominantly physical type) the gimmicks are rather easy to work around.

  • Sinnoh is, IMO, the hardest, with the most prevalent and arguably most restrictive gimmicks.

zealous karma
#

J find Johto difficult slightly because koga is near annoying every week

void estuary
#

Is it 1 region per 4 weeks?

zealous karma
#

It’s one region every month

mellow linden
#

Yeah, one per month. Sometimes that’s 4 weeks, sometimes it’s 5 due to how things are timed

#

If I had to guess, Johto or Sinnoh is probably next since iirc the last 2 were Alola and Unova

#

Or maybe it was Hoenn and Unova

#

But any guess is exactly that; a guess. We have no reliable method of predicting which region is next

zealous karma
#

Should be sinnoh next month

mellow linden
#

Oh boy, revenge on Bug weak Lucian via SSR Cynthia + SS Korrina strats

void estuary
#

Is there any incentives of having 3 ex pokes vs 2? Usually we want ex support + 1 ex dps
Does the 3rd one make a difference if it's ex or not?

#

Trying to figure out how to save my champion spirits :p

mellow linden
#

On a given team? Usually only 2 of the teammates matter whether they’re EX or not.

In general? It’s usually recommended to get 5 or 6 Support EXs before starting on Striker/Tech EXs because Support EX is absurdly good

#

Though favorites always have priority

void estuary
#

On 1 given team. Ah okay that answers it ty.

In general do you have like over 10 since you're a veteran? 😮

mellow linden
#

I’ve got well over 30 EX pairs total at this point, and that’s a very “I’m shooting low so I don’t exaggerate” estimate

#

You’ll eventually find yourself swimming in Champion Spirits

long thicket
#

So I do have Bea gridded.

#

The Sharp Entry one.

mellow linden
#

What team you using for her?

long thicket
#

I should grid Kiawe, though.

mellow linden
#

No SSA Cynthia, I take it?

long thicket
#

No indeed.
I know zone is handy, but I didn't like how it's been implemented and I had to recover from Red and Ash.

mellow linden
#

Fair enough

#

If that team ends up not working you could potentially try Lillie + Bea + Marley if Lillie is EX (heck, maybe even if she’s not, 3/5 Bea has a nice Sync nuke)

long thicket
#

Yes, she is.

mellow linden
#

Potential backup plan then

long thicket
#

I'm gonna try this after testing with gridded Kiawe.

mellow linden
#

Best of luck regardless of the team!

#

I will say that if you use Marley grid her for X Speed All Pep Rally and Team Sharp Entry if you can, since doing so means you can ignore Bea’s Sharp Entry tile

#

As well as the obvious 2 turns for max Speed

long thicket
#

And it's the first CS, so the "easiest"

#

This mode is scary at times.

mellow linden
#

It gets easier as you get more invested pairs and more experience with it

long thicket
#

Alright, gonna grid Marley.

mellow linden
#

She’s a great Support

long thicket
#

I see four options.

mellow linden
#

Just grab X Speed All Pep Rally + Team Sharp Entry and from there it’s whatever you want/think will be helpful for the team you’re using her on

mellow linden
#

Her Sun tiles won’t do much if her teammates are Lillie and Bea, but other than that it’s a solid enough grid

#

Marley is honestly really flexible because she usually only needs 2 tiles, so the rest of her grid can basically be anything you want

long thicket
#

Alright, done.

#

So Marley first to be damaged, Lillie first sync?

mellow linden
#

If Lillie is EX she’d probably be a little bulkier

void estuary
mellow linden
#

The big thing is that Lillie uses Trainer Move twice to max Bea’s Attack, then X Accuracy All. Marley uses X Speed All twice and from there can do pretty much whatever (probably Trainer Move to give gradual healing tho)

mellow linden
long thicket
mellow linden
#

Lillie would only Sync once

long thicket
#

But twice effect because EX.

mellow linden
#

Double Sync buff from EX, yeah

long thicket
#

So what should I do before the first sync?

#

I feel like Bea not being EX is a huge handicap, but with some parameters on this mode, you never know.

mellow linden
#

Lillie does Trainer Move twice and then X Accuracy All, Marley uses X Speed All twice and then does whatever, Bea spams Meteor Assault unless you want to use her Trainer Move once to avoid giving Lorlei too many evasion buffs

long thicket
#

Wait, sync before using trainer moves?

mellow linden
#

What? No

#

You can’t even get to 1st Sync without using trainer moves unless you’re purposefully waiting to use them until after 1st Sync

#

The 1st 3 turns would be;

Lillie: Trainer Move -> Trainer Move -> X Accuracy All

Marley: X Speed All -> X Speed All -> anything (probably Trainer Move though)

Bea: Meteor Assault or Trainer Move -> Meteor Assault -> Meteor Assault

long thicket
#

Bea got in critical health before the first sync, so...

mellow linden
#

…Are you not triple-queueing?

long thicket
#

Yes.

#

But she gets hit by all target moves.

mellow linden
#

There shouldn’t be many (if any) AoE moves used until Lorelei goes down

#

Bea should have barely taken any damage by the time you get your 1st Sync if you’re making sure to triple-queue

long thicket
#

And yet it does.
Plus she's weak to the sync move, so it's a OHKO.

mellow linden
#

Ah, wait, Hyper Voice. I guess just reset if Lorelei uses that too much

mellow linden
long thicket
#

Well she's weak to something because I have the danger symbol.

#

Alright, so one thing...

mellow linden
#

One of the enemies has Psychic moves

#

Left side, so gun them down 1st once Lorelei goes down

long thicket
#

To triple queue effectively, should I wait until all three characters are done acting?

#

I feel like I can't sync quick enough once the 10th move arrives.

mellow linden
#

You can if you want, but as long as all 3 of your team members are acting before each enemy action you’ll be fine

#

With Support EX Lorelei honestly is pretty likely to go down before she can even Sync

#

Bea’s Meteor Assaults hit hard

long thicket
#

I think the problem is that I start with Lillie, so I have to wait a little longer to sync with her after her 3rd move.

mellow linden
#

Wait, hold on

#

On the 3rd set of actions, the set where your Sync becomes available, are you waiting until Sync is queued before queueing anything else?

#

Because that is the instance where yes, you always wait for all 3 pairs to act before queueing moves again

long thicket
#

I feel so, but I can use Bea move instead of waiting to spend the bars.

mellow linden
#

If you don’t queue Sync as the start of your 4th set of actions then you’re effectively wasting damage

#

You’ll deal more damage by waiting to queue Lillie’s Sync before Meteor Assault

long thicket
#

But Bea still loses at Lorelei's sync.

mellow linden
#

The other thing about queueing Sync at the start of the action order is that you potentially can do something called quad-queue

#

Basically, if you start a set of actions with a Sync there’s a brief window where you can queue the Syncer’s next action before the enemy can queue an action

#

A successful quad-queue means you can Sync twice before the enemy Syncs

long thicket
#

And in that restart, Bea is at critical health before Lillie's sync.

#

I wanna give up.

mellow linden
#

Can you record any video or take screenshots of your attempt?

long thicket
#

Not sure about recording...

#

Screenshot is a maybe, but it might be complicated.

mellow linden
#

Wait, is your Lillie 3/5?

long thicket
#

5/5.

#

Same as Bea.

mellow linden
#

Get her Adrenaline tile. That way you won’t even have to quadqueue

#

Because Lillie will reduce your Sync countdown by 1 after her 1st Sync

long thicket
#

Oh yikes...

#

Lillie wasn't gridded...

#

I don't expect this to solve everything, but that might make a difference.

mellow linden
#

And if possible I would like to see a screenshot or video taken during your attempt, usually I can identify a problem that I’d otherwise miss with actual footage/screenshots from the fight

#

Getting X Accuracy Catalytic Cure will also help Lillie’s survivability significantly

long thicket
#

You'd need something external to record, right?

mellow linden
#

Record video? Not sure. If video isn’t possible or easily doable screenshots should still suffice

manic mica
#

next week fairy? CourtneyBruh as always ill offtype

mellow linden
#

Yeah, Lance is weak to Fairy next week

#

Means Diantha time for me

long thicket
#

I'm sorry, but it frustrated me too much.

#

Ended up offtyping it with the chus.

#

I know they're a dumb joker card, but I just couldn't manage.

mellow linden
#

If it works it works

long thicket
#

I don't go for 2k most of the time, 4.2k has been my norm for a while.

#

Meanwhile, Blue took me one try with Ingo as a support.

#

Plumeria and Iris are pretty good together.

mellow linden
#

Worst I can say is I would’ve liked to see if there was any issue I could spot via screenshots, but if you’re clearing fine it doesn’t matter much

long thicket
#

I tried to find something to record, but I'm hesitant to register.
Stupid reason, I know.

#

Thing is, while I could do and send screenshots, I'm not sure what exactly would've helped you.

mellow linden
#

You’d be surprised. Even seeing the buff stages everyone has can tell me a lot

#

Made big use of keeping track of buff levels to figure out that Lyra and SS Morty weren’t using their Trainer Moves as much as they should just last night

long thicket
#

Proof.

#

I'll consider it in the future, but it might be difficult for me to pinpoint a moment in the fight.

mellow linden
#

No need to prove you did it, don’t worry

long thicket
#

If you need to see my characters and their affiliated infos, then yeah, I'll consider that.

#

Oh well, proving that I know how to screenshoot and send for the future.

mellow linden
#

Congrats, btw! You can screenshot your Hall of Fame listing for the teams you used and put it in #1010274591601598555 if you want!

long thicket
#

Um, I see, maybe.

mellow linden
#

Entirely fine if you don’t, it’s mainly just there to show off

long thicket
#

But yeah, if you do need to see how my fights go, I'm not sure screenshots will help much.

mellow linden
#

It might depend on the situation

long thicket
#

There's also a slight delay in my screenshot, so it'd be tough.

#

But I'm thankful for the patience.

#

I've seen people often call Plumeria bad, but I like her kit.
EX helps a lot, though.

mellow linden
#

Not so much “bad” as “outdated and a little overly basic”. She works fine for Poison weak stuff, especially with Fall Iris as a teammate

long thicket
#

I think I've only completed 2 or 3 rounds with 10k, since it's the hardest one.

#

So there's still a lot of situations where I feel like my best duos aren't very good.

eternal mist
#

Ull get the hang of it after a while

mellow linden
#

Eh, rarely do you need a specific core duo so much as damage-dealer + supporting cast. Like Middy said, you’ll get the hang of it over time

eternal mist
#

Once you've farmed enough vouchers and have enough PUs, you could consider having about 5-6 Strike and Support EX (each). That helps to substantially reduce the difficulty of CSMM.

#

In many cases you could probably even offtype 4 stages should you need to. Esp if your 3rd supporting unit can debuff relevant offences, debuff relevant defences, set up relevant zone/weather, or flinch/sleep lock.

mellow linden
#

And in a pinch, Poison stall is always an option (albeit a fairly RNG one)

long thicket
#

I've heavily relied on go-to Striker/Tech duos, but yeah, I might have to approach each of these differently.

#

But um...
Aren't these prevented by the conditions?

eternal mist
#

You can customise the conditions to your needs since you only need to take 2k's worth

#

My current set of conditions almost always allow my team to debuff the enemy. And I take additional base Def.

mellow linden
#

There’s a specific set of parameters for Poison stall that gets all defensive parameters and makes sure you can still status/debuff the opponents

eternal mist
#

There are generic recommended combinations by nightmary in the pins

#

You could start with those and edit based on your needs once you are more familiar with the parameters

mellow linden
#

Yep. Pinned parameters are definitely your friends

Oh wait, Snorlax has a Gigantamax Fighting move?

#

It does

I suspect all non-poison stalls are hard as they don't have a "bad" version

#

Is Kanto meant to be hard?

#

Lorelei feels really hard to cut through

toxic cobalt
#

Stop hitting her with your sides

#

Every time you hit her (except with syncs and maybe max moves?) she gets evasion, so only hit her with the striker and only after your first sync.

summer flare
#

Even while hitting her, I feel like I'm lacking damage

#

Might try to post sync her, because unless I off type, I think pre sync won't be doable

toxic cobalt

What is your team

She can be presynced by Korrina, Solgaleo, and whatever other fighting type with a three bar you have

Is this still a good team for Blue? If so which of these should I pick

full mesa

3rd or 4th.

white gale
#

Blue is weak to poison. I'd recommend BP Erika/Janine/Xerneas if that team doesn't work (and choose 1st parameter with the poison stall team)

full mesa
#

Blue has sync cure

white gale
#

I still got 2k with that team, despite not reapplying poison for 2 turns

stoic vine
#

Sadly already used my poison stallers on other teams. Couldn't tell the difference between the ghost and poison icons so messed up and used them already

white gale
#

oh I see. darn 😦

#

(fyi MEwtwo with Lucian can completely kill ghost weak)

stoic vine
#

Realized too late but figured 😅

#

They're my go to psychic types

#

Here's what I got left to choose from

#

Potentially still have Koga to poison and SST Red to hit hard

#

I think I marked out all I've used. If not I'll mention it

white gale
#

SST Red can off-type easily if your psychic team doesn't work

mellow linden
#

Could also maybe try Koga + Allister?

#

And an appropriate Support, of course

#

Wait, is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

stoic vine
#

Hard mode

#

My last hard mode encounter BrockChamp

#

Also didn't realize how strong poison stall was

mellow linden
#

What’s your type progress?

stoic vine
#

Wiped their team and I barely took any damage

#

After this I'll have all the medals regardless of what I use

mellow linden
#

Alright

white gale
#

on Hard mode, SST REd can easily off-type if you don't need to worry about filling in the medal

mellow linden
#

Yo, 3/5 Marley and 5/5 Roxanne, that’s fantastic for your Support roster

white gale
#

Just TM-Electric Terrain-Buddy move again and again (And throw in MAX move to nuke mid)

stoic vine
#

I needed poison, bug, water, Dragon, normal and ground

#

Which I used Viola, May, Cyrus, Bertha and the lady with the chansey

white gale
#

great, just win and move on to Master mode

mellow linden
#

Cheryl. Another good Support option

white gale
#

just be careful with Cheryl since her PHy Def is next to nothing

mellow linden
#

True, yeah

stoic vine
#

She was fine with the fight I put her in as filler basically.

mellow linden
#

Yeah, for Hard Mode there definitely won’t be many issues

#

Master Mode is where you’d need to avoid physical moves hitting her

#

Btw, make sure to get Helena’s custom powerups and extra copies from the shop as soon as you’re able to do so. She’s a pretty darn good Ghost damage-dealer and she’s totally free with the exception of 5-star powerups if you decide to use them

stoic vine
#

Are my teams good for master mode or will I need new ones?

mellow linden
#

Master Mode is a bit more restrictive on teambuilding, so depending on the teams you used for Hard Mode you might need to adjust them. Since you’re new to Master Mode it’s probably best to start out by just going for 850 points per stage (4250 points total) rather than immediately jumping to 1.5k or 2k since that gets you all the most important rewards

Grid Roxanne and replace Kiawe with her on the team for Lance, IMO. Do you have 2 3-star Support candies? Because if so get Skyla to 3/5, grid her and use her instead of Elio, if not grid Marley and use her instead of Elio, IMO

#

Ah wait, Skyla’s on the Bruno team. Marley it is then

add gear to your teams btw. and that poison stall can beat 2k blue.

#

Sadly don't have any but I'm going to work on getting some

#

every pokemon masters day (on the 25th) you'll get 1 set of 3* gear

it's very helpful once maxed out, yeah

even level 3 3* gear can help

it's not a make or break situation though

but definitely recommended

Haven't really been focusing on gear honesrly

because he's a diamond in the rough when it comes to poison times

He just needs someone to boost his Sp. Atk. for him

#

I can't seem to see his value. I used him with Sycamore this week. Max spa/crit and Alister's sludge bomb would hit harder than koga's sync nuke. After 2 sync buffs.

sick inlet
#

What I believe is his true potential is stalling and Evasion tanking

#

He works well there

#

Although he can nuke

#

Just don't compare it to other better units 🥴

keen jasper
#

He needs sum EX and expanded grid

swift swan
#

Koga is definitely a great f2p poison nuker, I won't deny

#

it's just that I'm salty about his nuke because he failed to crit three times when I used him in LG

#

and that's after I went through reset hell to get TM MPR VolknerDed

#

SS Leaf/Koga/Janine never failed as a poison stall team for me

#

Koga doesn't seem to be doing much in that squad, haha

trail smelt

Yeah that’s a half stall half nuke team, Koga’s there to nuke. Plus he supplies his own evasion.

Koga is also one of the few reliable Sp. Def. debuffs out there, and is even more notably a free source of Sp. Def. debuffs

How does this look for strikers? Champion team is the only complete one, keep in mind.

Nothing wrong with the strikers. Not sure about the support choices.

Is Solgaleo gridded for fighting?

wicked pebble

I said it was strikers, not whole teams.

#

The champion team is the exception since I'm off typing it.

swift swan
#

they can buff their own crit themselves of course but it'll take 3 turns

wicked pebble
#

...I literally haven't picked supporting pokemon yet.

#

I was asking on if these strikers were good choices for this.

toxic cobalt
#

They're on type strikers

wicked pebble
#

The center pokemon, to note. They're the striker for each one.

swift swan
#

it's water-weak, of course they're good choices

toxic cobalt
#

What are you asking exactly?

wicked pebble
#

I was checking if I have the right idea on striker choice before building more.

toxic cobalt
#

They do damage of the appropriate weakness. We can't give more feedback than that.

swift swan
#

picking an on-type striker is already the right idea

trail smelt
#

Yeah the basics are basically what the pins say

#

Center your team around the damage dealer/nuker and build the team around them

mellow linden
#

Kanto CS is pretty easy compared to other CS regions, should be fine on damage-dealers. But move SSA Cynthia to Bea's team, she's so much better with Bea than with the Pikachus

swift swan
#

If SSA Cynthia goes to Bea's team then Bea will need a long time to buff herself

#

which... is probably ideal because you don't want to be attacking Lorelei right away anyway

dark osprey
#

lol. nice. Bea under zone was OHKOing the sides in the first cycle

#

can literally take all attack parameters with ssa cynthia anyways

swift swan
#

my fighting team this week was EX SSA Cynthia/EX Hilbert/EX Bea but my first sync went to Bea instead of my EX supports because it was much faster to win that way WEEZing

what level do you need characters at for CS generally?

tired sleet

I say 120 for hard mode

tender shore

ok 👍

tired sleet

MasterMode I dunno I feel the level really does clutch in 10k specifically

Especially for supports

toxic cobalt
#

Still very doable with 120

tired sleet
#

Ya sure but higher level def helps

#

Why makes thing harder for yourself

tender shore
#

ok
I haven't done anything beyond the basic CS but I did all the villain arcs for regional pulls and grabbed hop/sycamore/Cyrus so I think I should have a big enough roster

tired sleet
tender shore
#

I dunno what that means, I've never done the CS as said
is it like a challenge for not letting any pairs die or smth?

tired sleet
#

Nah u need to use ALL types

To unlock master mode

#

Type that is correlated to thier sync type.

main crow
#

Master mode gives you additional bonus rewards

tender shore
#

oh
like you need to actually activate every sync type or just have them on the team

main crow
#

Just have them in a team

tender shore
#

wait isn't there 18 types and you only use 15 total pokemon?

main crow
#

Yeah it usually takes 2 cycle to complete it

tired sleet
#

You are barely in time for kanto

tender shore
#

oh you don't have to do it all in one run

tired sleet
#

You cant

#

You literally can't as mentioned

tender shore
#

obviously
that's why I was confused

main crow
#

It's practically impossible to begin with tbf ibaralul but having cleared more in the first week the better since it opens up for a more comfortable team composition on the second week

tired sleet
#

Anyway u technically have time this month

#

U have to clear minimum 9 this week though

how important are the actual battle modifiers to take advantage of.
aside from using physical when sp def is up and vice versa

It usually helps the e4 ngl

tender shore

tired sleet
#

Perm field is nice

#

The status one is nice for poison stall

main crow

Yeah it usually just depends on the team ur bringing

Like say

#

A grass weak Lorelei with permanent field effect, you can abuse that so effects like grassy terrain or sun stays forever

don't have poison.teams so mod1 this cs is useless for me I imagine

according to the filter my only poison status syncs are Roxy, Lucy, janine

lemme check

#

With venusaur

tender shore
#

I don't have any of the leaf's

so she's worth investing into?
for damage, I have SS Erika, Cyrus, Helena, Kris and totodile, and Sydney off the top of my head worth mentioning, probably have more

toxic cobalt
#

Janine doesn’t need much investment, only levels

If you could list your units that have a grid and how many spare Corb that would be most helpful

This week literally all four E4 stages are weak to a free legend, so if they’re gridded you’re IngoUp

idk if Sydney does enough on his own though or if he's back up

#

discord lag moment

tribal agate
#

you're doing the base hard mode CS right?

tender shore
#

yes

tribal agate
#

as long as you have an on-type damage dealer and a support to take the hits, this CS is fairly newcomer friendly, i wouldn't worry too much

#

pairs have to be 100-120 level range

#

grids not that mandatory for this rotation except some

tender shore
#

I only have like a few hundred orbs rn cause I gridded sycamore

tribal agate
#

Sidney is an amazing self sustainable dark dmg dealer (but dark is next week)

toxic cobalt
#

Sycamore fully gridded? If so that’s one stage done easy

#

Will directly ask then, are Giovanni and Solgaleo gridded?

tender shore
#

I haven't done them yet, only hop Cyrus and sycamore
syc is my only gridded aside from Helena cause her orbs came from event

toxic cobalt
#

Helena is good!

#

Can use her for ghost weak

#

Cyrus can be used for dragon or water

tender shore
#

I can do Giovanni and dolgaleo later today though

toxic cobalt
#

Oh really? Well if you can do Slowgaleo that’s great

#

Leaves only the leftover dragon/water

#

For which I would put someone with Hop.

#

If you have Zinnia and Acerola you can try them with Hop for dragon weak!

#

The Sycamore and Koga and Janine for poison

tender shore
#

just won't be gridded

#

sorry my phone is lagging
I meant I could unlock gio and salgaleo but don't have orbs to grid them

toxic cobalt
#

Oooh I see

tender shore
#

cause the legendary adventures don't take long

toxic cobalt
#

Well then fighting is the main sticking point. Sol might manage without grid though

#

Any other fighting types of note?

tender shore
#

lemme check

#

I only have maylene brawly and korrina

#

so fighting is gunna be an off type fight.

I could use Kris/totodile on water weakness, Cyrus on dragon weakness? Cyrus isn't gridded for dragon yet though since I don't have the boosts yet

and Helena should handle Agatha right?

swift swan
#

Solgaleo will spam focus blast for fighting

swift swan
toxic cobalt
#

Can you make these?

#

Oh wait I forgot Kris

#

Is Kris gridded?

#

Can try her if you want

tender shore
#

I do not have rain dance units :p

swift swan
tender shore
#

nop

swift swan
#

oof

#

ok this might be a bit more difficult if you don't have some low gacha units then

tribal agate
#

unfortunate you came around right after anniversary and a lot of free pulls yeah

#

but it'll build up in time

toxic cobalt
#

Dammit

tribal agate
toxic cobalt
#

Kris and no Winona

tender shore
#

it'd probably be easier if I just posted my roster

#

just hate taking up so much space with big ass ss

tribal agate
#

use this

toxic cobalt
#

If you have time to do the tracker that’s great, if not I’m pretty confident with the screenshotted pairs

tender shore
#

I'm on mobile rn, if I do the tracker on mobile can I transfer it to PC later too?

tribal agate
#

yeah you can import & export settings

toxic cobalt
#

It gives you some code you can copy paste

tribal agate
#

just throw it on a private server of yours for safekeeping

toxic cobalt
#

Huh Helena is pretty self sufficient

tender shore
#

ok cool

#

yea if you run her with the paralysis up it's pretty easy, one lick usually procs it them just use her buff moves

toxic cobalt
#

Sharp entry on grid too so she can fully self buff if needed!

tender shore
#

oh I didn't see that
that's helpful

#

is my phone just not loading properly what are these blanks

#

should I just post the code? it's also pretty long

toxic cobalt
#

Picture is probably better

tender shore
#

my phone is not playing nice with the website rn, trying to save the image

#

save image button will just not work for me Christ

#

oh wait it just adds an image to the bottom
oops

#

Lucy/seviper, Cyrus and sycamore wouldn't show up for me so they aren't marked even though I have them

#

also this is so much easier to keep track of your roster

dim trail
#

hiya! will Korina along with appropriate supports be able to beat lorelei?

full mesa
dim trail
#

accuracy buffs?

#

def up and attack up supports arent enough ?

keen jasper
dim trail
#

I see

full mesa
#

Yeah. Too much work

tender shore
#

you need to manually mark your units but it's more organized once you actually do it

#

it only took me like 15 minutes but only have 55 units

#

would've been faster on PC

dim trail
#

alright I don't have any accuracy buff pairs

toxic cobalt
#

Korrina can win without accuracy buffs

#

What is this downer talk

#

She does need 4* though

#

And round 2 helps a lot

tender shore
#

will solgaleo work if I don't have them gridded?

toxic cobalt
#

It’ll be slower but it’ll work

#

Remember not to attack Lorelei until after your first sync

tender shore
#

ok cause they're my only access to fighting DMG I think

toxic cobalt
#

The teams I suggested should work

#

Can replace torchic with Sabrina if you want

tender shore
toxic cobalt
#

Yes

full mesa
#

The Solgaleo team can work.

stoic vine
#

Gotta grind up some synch pairs. Solgaleo is completely gridded but my Hop and Marley aren't

#

Orbs*

stoic vine
#

For Lorelei I should build Marley like a defensive support right?

stark spindle
#

who should i use to off type with gio and nidoking 2k

#

using post sync parameters

#

maybe leaf and ss blue?

tired sleet
#

Isn't that ontype?

stark spindle
#

what does an off type need

tender shore
# toxic cobalt Kris and no Winona

if i'm gunna use these teams what would the order for the elite 4 fight be?
I assume the poison team is used against blue last but otherwise im not sure what order I should use the teams in against the elite 4 because of the modifiers

tired sleet
#

Like pikas on say steel weak for eģ.

swift swan
toxic cobalt
#

Don’t fight Bruno or Lance round 2. Aside from that, not so important. You could use round 1 to fish for burns I suppose.

zealous karma
#

Ugh why is only Johto 1/5 morty so difficult I have to rely on flinch rng and it’s not good

swift swan
#

Which morty

toxic cobalt
#

Two turn moves bad

zealous karma
#

Base

#

It can work

#

But

#

I got close and kinda miss clicked Whitney tm instead of

#

Stool

#

Stomp

swift swan
# toxic cobalt Two turn moves bad

My ghost team is SSRCynthia/Redlax/Morty so when I fought Wise Entry x2 Ghost weak Lucian, it was two-turn moves galore that messed up with my countdown so much, even Red couldn't fix it WEEZing

trail smelt
#

Haha Lucian gets deleted so fast by SSRynthia’s nuke

stark spindle
tired sleet
#

You have the new pair for ghost now

#

Unless u doing a self imposed challenge

#

In which case uhh

stark spindle
#

because i fked up and have the spa condition

#

and i only have nido as phys striker

#

wait would ssr cynthia be good then

trail smelt
#

The reduced attack/special attack rounds?

#

Those are ignored by critics hits

stark spindle
#

oh

#

actually pointless then lmao ok

toxic cobalt
#

And they disappear before your first sync anyway

tired sleet
#

Ppl always take that parameters for csmm lol

#

Cause its one of those free points

stark spindle
#

cause it does nothing right

#

yeah

#

alright thans guys

toxic cobalt
#

Well it makes Quadqueueing harder to impossible but that’s it

tired sleet
#

Actually is the new ghost f2p pair outdoing giovanni now for ghost?

swift swan
#

no, Giovanni still has higher Shadow Ball damage

zealous karma
#

I think Gio is at least top 5 ghost DPS

tired sleet
#

Oof

#

Well at least if you need the ghost type

#

She fits I guess

full mesa
#

She is ok for LG. A nice ghost type DMG dealer. Doesn't have to be useful everywher

tender shore
#

Alright well I tried some of the teams I was recommended and just didnt do enough damage so I guess i'm gunna put off CS until I can get more orbs for gridding units/ex/etc
Unless im just dumb idk

full mesa
#

How many points are you going for?

stoic vine
#

Ok so here's my current team. Marley is part of the way gridded, solgaleo is fully gridded and Hop is partially gridded. What should my gameplan be going into Round 4 Lorelei. I can get her Lapras down, but by that point everyone's on such low health that a single attack takes them out.

#

On master mode with 850 btw

zealous karma
#

I don’t know how you get low when hop uses potioks could you send a video of what you’re doing

stoic vine
#

Not currently but I can after work

#

Where I'm doing the 850 point pinned comment he doesn't heal a whole lot
