Champion Stadium

[full mesa]

Why did they place ground, rock and fairy together in one week? Are they serious?

[manic kiln]

people will offtype anyway

[formal vigil]

last time sinnoh came i was still new so I struggled alot now I am much stronger should be duoble now ig especially since hoenn wasn't that bad for me

[full mesa]

Yeah. All those types are week for f2p content and new players.

[formal vigil]

for ground you have naiomi

[full mesa]

Week 2 is going to be a pain and a half. The other seems ok-ish.

I don't think sandslash can do that much.

[formal vigil]

if you give her proper support she could work hell non boosted cynthia could clear it 2k

[old orchid]

Sandslash under sand without zone and with an ex support should handle ground weak pretty well

[formal vigil]

mina can work for fairy weak not like you have much option due to cynthias wise entry x2

[full mesa]

Do the suggested grids work?

[trail smelt]

No I meant scroll up a bit, the post is slightly above mine

[full mesa]

I have to study and prepare this weekend. Also fire weak Aaron has endure...

[formal vigil]

just nuke it with silver

[sick inlet]

Teehee who's ready for hellish season

[trail smelt]

Aaron was my main roadblock so I’m ready for everything except fairy weak Cynthia

That damn evasion hax Spiritomb

[formal vigil]

[full mesa]

SSTRedEx Vs fairy weak Cynthia. I don't want to suffer.

[manic mica]

cynthia boutta feel failsafe 2

i have no idea what their gimmicks are btw

the only teams i have confidence in is failsafe 1 and 2

[trail smelt]

We still have 1 more round of Kanto next week fyi

[main crow]

Ew first week poison Cynthia

Does she have any Sentry/wise entry gimmick for poison?

[unborn wedge]

You do need to status her because of Healthy Advantage 4

[trail smelt]

Poison me bro basically

[unborn wedge]

Yeah

[main crow]

Lmao good I was thinking to do stall

[trail smelt]

I remember being confused about why SS Gio wasn’t doing as much damage as usual lol until I read the pop ups

[old orchid]

I use the sync nuke build

[mellow linden]

Wait, Sinnoh CS is next?

Ah, it is. Alright then

2 rotations until I get revenge on Bug weak Lucian. He better watch himself

And when Dragon weak Cynthia rolls around I’ll be trying out Clair against her

[trail smelt]

Good luck there

Even in KANTO I was so frustrated trying to get her past dragon weak

And when I did it it was because Lance was carrying her LMAO

[mellow linden]

I’ve got SS Kris and Classic Elesa backing her up and Dragon weak Cynthia has a Ground Sync, iirc

So I think I’ll be in a decent spot

[unborn wedge]

Yeah Dragon weak Cynthia doesn't have any Dragon moves

[mellow linden]

My biggest concerns (Fairy weak Cynthia, Bug weak Lucian, Electric weak Aaron) should be handled by either off-typing with SSR Cynthia + SS Korrina or by the fact that I now have Classic Elesa

[jovial fulcrum]

i put these together for week 2 because i have to finish the medal first week

sucks having to offtype two stages

[mellow linden]

Let’s be honest here. With that set up you’re off-typing 3

[tired sleet]

I've heard legends on sinnoh cs

I'm probably screwed

[mellow linden]

Eh, depends on the stage

[tired sleet]

Ah great poison cynthia

Glad to get that annoying type week 1

[mellow linden]

IMO Bug/Flying weak Lucian, Electric weak Aaron, and Fairy weak Cynthia are the big ones to watch out for

[tired sleet]

Elec aaron?

Even with pikachu existence

Oh boi

[mellow linden]

If you have Ash you’re fine

Tbh I forgot about OPikachus

SST Red can probably do it too, but the reason I say Electric weak Aaron is because he has Sentry Entry x2, making physical damage way less useful, and the only non-limited Electric damage-dealer we currently have is Hau

But Ash will obliterate him and SST Red will probably have a fairly easy time as well

Sinnoh CS is mainly difficult because it was the 1st (and arguably only so far) CS to start leaning in on encouraging specific limited (or in some cases new-at-the-time, like Ground weak Aaron being perfectly designed for Bertha) pairs via its gimmicks

[tired sleet]

When was the last rerun of sinnoh cs?

As in the previous run

[mellow linden]

Sinnoh VA

When it was introduced

This is its 2nd run, so the people who went through it last time (myself included) are feeling a lot more confident due to updates in our rosters

Electric weak Aaron will be way easier for me because I have Classic Elesa now, for example

[tired sleet]

I haven't even done it

So I still have to do all that jazz again

[mellow linden]

Everyone’s gotta do it once per region, nothing to be ashamed of

This channel is here if you ever need assistance

[tired sleet]

I went through hoenn 2kmm

Should be fine right

It's just hard mode

[mellow linden]

Should be totally fine for Hard Mode, especially if you have OPikachus

[tired sleet]

Had to do 850 only

Cause sidney is a fking tank

[mellow linden]

No shame in that, ~4.2k total is where all the important rewards are

[trail smelt]

Sinnoh is around Hoenn difficulty if you’ve done that, which one you hate more depends on your roster

[tired sleet]

2 weeks huh

That's a good amount of time to have for orbs to replenish

[manic mica]

i have 3/5 ss wally, fairy weak cynthia still tough?

[full mesa]

Yes. She has wise entry x2 and the ability to raise ACC on hit.

[mellow linden]

Fairy weak Cynthia has Wise Entry x2, so you'll wanna pair him with Mina

Plus iirc she messes with your accuracy

[formal vigil]

yeah though ss wally does ignore the accuracy debuffs

[manic mica]

eugh

well i have mina gridded and leveled

[full mesa]

Wise entry x2 is still an issue

[formal vigil]

since disaming voice can't miss

just run him mina /summer marnine

[manic mica]

fuck i need a mega support/need to sync with wally

[full mesa]

Sinnoh doesn't allow for floppy team building or op teams and 1-2 low tier. You need strong foundation.

[manic mica]

but i only have jasmine and glacia

syncing with wally doesnt sound bad but wise entry

[formal vigil]

though if hes 3/5 ex i imagine he could brute force it with bede

[full mesa]

Yeah but you'll need 2 sync probably

• max move

[manic mica]

despair

am i gonna need to 5* mina for this

[full mesa]

Definitely

[formal vigil]

do you not have ss blue?

[full mesa]

That's why I'm not planning fairy week on type.

[manic mica]

i chose ss red when the selector first came out

worst mistake of my life

[mellow linden]

I'll just be off-typing with SSR Cynthia/SS Korrina

[full mesa]

I might have to poison stall for first time in couple months.

[manic mica]

jasmine useable at 2/5

?

[mellow linden]

Should be

[full mesa]

If you got nothing better, yes.

General rule for all units.

[manic mica]

man i really should start saving for limited supports

[full mesa]

Do you spend candies on gen pool units?

[mellow linden]

Eh, tbh limited Supports tend to be more QoL than huge "this changes everything" picks

[full mesa]

SSACynthia would like a word

[mellow linden]

Don't get me wrong, there are some big limited Supports out there

[manic mica]

nah i still bave 2 supp candies

[mellow linden]

But overall the huge game-changers are more likely to be Striker or Tech

[manic mica]

i rolled for ash and sst

[full mesa]

Nice

[manic mica]

had to spark red

[manic mica]

i feel pretty content with my strikers/techs? im missing good ones for a few types i guess

[mellow linden]

It's less "you need this Sync Pair for this type" (there are no must-haves in this game) and moreso "this Sync Pair will have you covered for eternity on this type and be able to off-type several stages beyond that"

[manic mica]

i see

[mellow linden]

Like, if you have SS Serena you're covered for Dragon weak stages and 90% of stages for other types

[manic mica]

honestly whenever i build teams i try to ontype as much as possible but i probably have great offtype units that i dont utilize

[manic mica]

yeah i have zerena

[mellow linden]

She's basically a free win button

[manic mica]

the final two teams i have confidence in lmao

[mellow linden]

She'll murder 90% of content

[tired sleet]

Most definitely overkill

[swift swan]

Sinnoh time! LFG babyyy

Novemberninth weekly summary era

[trail smelt]

Huh, can you only pin your own post?

[sick inlet]

You can't pin your own post

Nightmary is the Halloween Dreamy

Mods can pin anything

[full mesa]

Time to prepare teams for Sinnoh's month. I'm not playing around.

[trail smelt]

No I was asking why they didn’t pin the other post earlier

[mellow linden]

Either didn't see it or was easier, I guess

[devout sluice]

Ohhhh no…. not Sinnoh. I remember it was a pain to get 10k

[full mesa]

Already built teams for the first 2 weeks. 2 more to go.

[swift swan]

Oh right, october is almost over and they'll have to go back to dreamy

[tribal agate]

[full mesa]

Sinnoh

Week 1

HilbertEx/SSRedEx/Roxanne -> Aaron Fire
SSErika/SSLyra/DawnEx -> Bertha Grass
Bianca/Lucian/SStevenEx -> Flint Psychic
Hop/SCEmmetEx/SkylaEx -> Lucian Bug
Alister/SCLillie/BPClemont or SSLeaf/Janine/BPMorty -> Cynthia Poison

Week 2

SSBlueEx/CyrusEx/MayEx -> Aaron Ground
Sycamore/Ghetis/BPCandice -> Bertha Ice
Hop/SkylaEx/GladioEx -> Flint Rock
Kahili/BPMorty/Sonia -> Lucian Flying
HilbertEx/Mina/Swimduck -> Cynthia Fairy

Week 3

HilbertEx/SSRedEx/Roxanne -> Aaron Fire
Hop/Solgaleo-KGrimsley/SkylaEx -> Steel Agatha
Bianca/Lucian/SStevenEx -> Flint Psychic
SCLillie/BPMorty/GladioEx -> Lucian Ghost
SSBlueEx/CyrusEx/Roxanne -> Cynthia Dragon

Week 4

Ash/Swimduck/Leaf -> Aaron Elec
SSErika/SSLyra/DawnEx -> Bertha Grass
SSBlueEx/CyrusEx/MayEx -> Flint Water
SkylaEx/SidneyEx/Hop -> Lucian Dark
SSACynthia/BeaEx/Marley -> Cynthia Fighting

That's the initial plan...

[devout sluice]

My BIG concern for 10k is against flint.

[swift swan]

Flint was never a concern to me

Lucian though...

[swift swan]

Chaos is invested in this

[toxic cobalt]

Chaos is so concerned about Aaron Elec

(which is totally fair)

[swift swan]

Rock-weak Flint's pretty bulky and idk how good Gladion's nuke will be without super effective up. Olivia can nuke him under sand though

[swift swan]

I am no longer concerned now that I have EX Hau

I am still very much Concerned ™️ about Bug-weak Lucian and Fairy-weak Cynthia though

[toxic cobalt]

I went through so much pain with non-EX Hau

[swift swan]

also, only 4 weeks of sinnoh CS? good

[swift swan]

I had to postsync with Hau back then, but I believe he can now presync it

[toxic cobalt]

Last Sinnoh was when my game bugged out for a week but I don't remember which ones I missed.

[swift swan]

I also have SST Red and, while he doesn't ignore sentry entry x2, just has big damage anyway

[swift swan]

for Dragon-weak Cynthia, maybe you can try Zinnia as an alternative. dragon-weak Cynthia sets up her own sandstorm which you might be able to take advantage of. also remember she has 50% more sp defense under sandstorm

I suppose Cyrus can still bruteforce the extra bulk without zone. cynthia has no additional bulk stats after all

[pine spruce]

transferring my last message from #poma-questions, would this team win against this week's lorelei (challenge 4), or a L? Don't have much of a choice and trying to save both Rosa and Cyrus for Blue.

[elfin vortex]

Do you have Hau?

Nate ain't the best especially offtype

[pine spruce]

yeah but not raised yet, lacking in books

[toxic cobalt]

Why SS Misty?

[pine spruce]

challenge 4 buff

also for the haze, since she (lorelei) apparantly buffs alot

[toxic cobalt]

What level is your Potion chu?

[pine spruce]

you mean mc+chu?

or...?

[elfin vortex]

ye mc+chu

[pine spruce]

oh, didnt bothered much on it. still low-leveled though

move level, its maxxed

dunno how to build its grid though.

[toxic cobalt]

Just not a big Nate fan

Personally

It could work of course, through sheer Hop power

[simple storm]

People should appreciate more llwer tier units tbh

[dark osprey]

Though Nate is quite bad I guess

[devout sluice]

If have Anni Skyla then ya, there’s a chance.

Ok so week 1, yes. Just have to off the poison, week 2, maybe since my Hala can’t hit hard. Rest is fine aside from off typing fairy. Week 3 fine. Just need to off type ghost. And week 4, perfect. Just need lucky accuracy drop from night daze.

[full mesa]

Ι still need one more copy of her.

[full mesa]

Yeah. Fight fire with fire. I'll keep that in mind.

At first I thought to use CyrusEx because the sand will go away after first sync. Now I realise that mega evolution counts as "first time entry in battle". Sand will come back.

[pine spruce]

I've done it

[toxic cobalt]

Nate wins again

[full mesa]

That's a peculiar team for Lorelei.

[swift swan]

aaah Nate. I used him for a challenge run once and regretted it. his defenses are terrible and his damage wasn't too good to presync offtype

[pine spruce]

What Nate had to do is just fly to sky like a fire bird

If it werent for SS misty I might have died quick lol

since yk, sp.atk boosts

[toxic cobalt]

Nate CS solo when?

[pine spruce]

I wish lmao

anyway

[toxic cobalt]

Barry!

Master mode next week

[pine spruce]

yeah, next next week for me tho

6 more medals for master 💀

at that time, I might have leveled or gridded more of my pairs

[pine spruce]

I used him as a move spammer, at best. Typically I use Sycamore for the battery boost

[toxic cobalt]

You can reset next week once you win the first time with the remaining types

I use Sycamore to win

[swift swan]

next next week is Sinnoh already right

but yeeah, as Aurochs said. Next week is Kanto, get the rest of your medals, get Master Mode unlocked, then reset and do MM

[void estuary]

What would be the best victini team?
Ho oh victini + ?

[swift swan]

I think you can carry an extra damage dealer that also likes sun. SS Morty's gauge is good enough to carry two 4-gauge users and Hilda seems to have good gauge control (on paper at least. I don't know yet.) If she's 2/5 or 3/5, you can bring another unit that can burn the opponents more easily for her Burn Synergy 1 (2/5) and Scorching Sync 5 (3/5)

[old orchid]

The most popular option is SS May since she has fast ramp and can debuff defense

Since you use shiny Hooh so the slot can be any Fire type

Or someone that can debuff defense stat

[trail smelt]

Lol

Just thought of DGloria + SSHilda team

[old orchid]

DGloria does the job faster than May, but May has sun boost and fast ramp

Both are valid choices

[trail smelt]

More for me with the lack of SSMay haha

[weak sleet]

Is Sinnoh a hard one to do?

[devout sluice]

It was earlier this year.

[toxic cobalt]

It is more restrictive in team building

[devout sluice]

But ever since we gotten better units, it won’t be too hard.

[weak sleet]

Oh so it will be harder than the old Kanto and Unova.

[austere quest]

Me getting ready to Poison Stall Cynthia Week 1

[toxic cobalt]

Praise be, only one steel weak Bertha and one electric weak Aaron

[weak sleet]

Electric weak is easy with ash and red..... right?

[formal vigil]

Of course anything is easy with them

Just that when it first released it was pain and they didn't exist back then

[lunar meadow]

We didn't even have Haus EX then

[full mesa]

Sinnoh is on a whole different level than the rest...

[lunar meadow]

Wasn't hoenn just as hard?

Or... Someone else was

[mellow linden]

Hoenn is probably the 2nd hardest, but outside of a couple outliers (Steel weak Glacia) I wouldn’t put it on the same level as Sinnoh

[lunar meadow]

Ya hoenn was just as hard as sinnoh

Sinnoh was only considered harder because the only special attacking electric type with EX was Electivire.

And for physical bugs, basically just Escavalier.

Hoenn had a lot of fights with weather and environmental threats. It was much harder if you didn't counter them properly.

[mellow linden]

Sinnoh’s gimmicks, at least IMO, are overall more restrictive than Hoenn’s gimmicks

[lunar meadow]

Aaron and Vespiquen were easy. I just powered through with a physical electrical type

[mellow linden]

Hoenn’s gimmicks have more widespread/accessible methods of getting around them (again, Steel weak Glacia is an outlier)

[lunar meadow]

Hoenn and Sinnoh are comparable, but hoenn is harder.

Sinnoh upped the challenge and we weren't expecting it.

I think hoenn will hold up harder

[mellow linden]

I’m inclined to disagree with the exception of Steel weak Glacia and maybe Ice weak Drake

[lunar meadow]

I remember steel weak Bertha being much harder than electric weak Aaron or psychic weak flint

[mellow linden]

Steel weak Glacia will likely retain her difficulty for all eternity unless you have Raihan

[lunar meadow]

But steel weak Bertha didn't get talked about much

[mellow linden]

I personally found Bertha the most consistently manageable, even Steel weak wasn’t a huge issue for me

[lunar meadow]

I honestly don't remember most of the gimmicks because my units are strong enough and I've been monotyping it for like 8 months 😅

But I do remember hoenn actually taking me a couple attempts due to the environment passives. Lots of weather and Zone, and passive effects related to them.

Sinnoh just had high defenses, and infernape hit HARD.

[mellow linden]

The fact that Hoenn’s gimmicks were mostly related to statuses and field effects is why I consider it a little below Sinnoh, personally. It’s not necessarily base difficulty of “how hard is it when you can manage the gimmicks” for me, it’s more “how hard is it to manage these gimmicks”. And outside of Steel weak Glacia and (iirc) Bug weak Sidney (which is less gimmicky and more “I will hurt you extremely hard”), I overall find Sinnoh to have more restrictive gimmicks.

Though I suppose updates have admittedly been harder on Sinnoh than Hoenn, so you may actually be right about Hoenn eventually overtaking Sinnoh in difficulty as more options for the gimmicks are added

[lunar meadow]

What was steel weak glacias gimmick, since you keep singling her out?

[subtle forge]

It’s like sentry entry x2

[mellow linden]

Sentry Entry x2 when there’s literally Raihan and Thorton’s Sync for special Steel damage

[lunar meadow]

Oh, so the same thing we had in sinnoh?

[subtle forge]

I mean but that was only the sides. And that was wise entry

[lunar meadow]

Ya, I'm pretty sure Metagross just went through her anyway

[mellow linden]

It just baffles me that they made her super resistant to every Steel type except 1.5

By far the most restrictive gimmick of Hoenn CS, IMO

Might off-type her with SS Hilda (assuming I get her, which I’m pretty sure I have enough for pity before she leaves) when Hoenn CS rolls back around

[eternal lodge]

the one that was hard for me was sidney since it always had a rare weak type and i had to offtype, for glacia i simply used either ss red, blaine and lillie if fire weak, keldeo, urshifu and a support if fighting weak and since i didnt have raihan exed i simply used palentine marnie sync + kimono grimsley metal burst to beat it through brute force

[zealous karma]

Anyone have any chaplebge run ideas I’m thinking No Ex run

But I’m open to any and all others

thank you hop@for not having an EX I’d not have any atk/crit buffing supports without you

[sinful garden]

only use the moves that use the least amount of gauge in your pair's kit

[zealous karma]

I like that

[eternal lodge]

even better, no buffing B)

[eternal lodge]

week 118 in a nutshell

[mellow linden]

OPikachus will definitely be a big deal against Aaron, yeah

[zealous karma]

Me when I don’t ignore sentry entry x2

[mellow linden]

On my end I’ve got Classic Elesa

[eternal lodge]

that surely will be a sweet revenge

[mellow linden]

It’ll be nice to not have to deal with RNG on Poison stall

[trail smelt]

Never found Hoenn to ever be as frustrating as Sinnoh honestly

Goddamn Aaron and Cynthia

[mellow linden]

Dangit, I forgot Dark weak Lucian has Wise Entry

Nessa + Masked Royal it is then

Or I guess BP Karen + Masked Royal since Water weak Flint is the same week

[trail smelt]

I just have Sydney nuke haha

[swift swan]

Aaron L won't be having much of an impact

[dapper coyote]

Okay I don't have any good dark, bug or fairy damage dealers so will these off type teams work against them?

[swift swan]

Imo you're better off bringing a rain setter for Cyrus. His hydro pump damage is better if you want to offtype

[dapper coyote]

Who's a good rain setter?

[swift swan]

Winona and Pelipper is a free one. May and Swampert if you have her

May can help with DPS, Winona can help with flinch. It depends

I usually run May though

[dapper coyote]

Okay I have both

[swift swan]

May then

Should work fine

[dapper coyote]

Cool

[swift swan]

For team 3, do you have Bianca for psychic terrain?

[dapper coyote]

Nah

[swift swan]

Roxanne and Sabrina kinda overlap with most of the buffs they give

[swift swan]

Ah. That team is fine then

2k MM?

[dapper coyote]

Should I switch then?

[dapper coyote]

No no I'm not that strong 😂 just 850

[swift swan]

That team should work well enough at 850

[full mesa]

Ash team can easily 2k

Team 4 too.

Gio team too if gio has grid.

That's 6k for now.

[dapper coyote]

Oh really?

[swift swan]

Team 4 is a free 2k stall

[full mesa]

If Cyrus has grid he can 2k under rain. 1.5k for sure. That's 7.5-8k

[swift swan]

Honestly I can see all these teams doing 2k with the proper grids. Kanto is easy enough

[dapper coyote]

Not all of them are gridded though

[full mesa]

Evolve Blaine (purely for extra stats). 1.5-2k easily. Here. 9-10k

[dapper coyote]

Got it

[swift swan]

Of course, it takes a while to get used to how hard (or how bulky) the enemy can hit at 2k. 1.5k is a safe spot if you wanna try it out

[full mesa]

I know. I specified who exactly need grids. The rest will need some luck and levels.

[dapper coyote]

Alright

[full mesa]

But as novemberninth said, 1.5k is better for beginners. 7.5k is the true nature of MM. Anything else above it is just for show off.

[swift swan]

[full mesa]

Also, trial and error. That's a huge part of MM. Try, fail, adapt, repeat until you win.

[dapper coyote]

Yeah I'll try

Thanks✌️

Who do you recommend I save for blue though?

[eternal lodge]

10k is still p good, after a few weeks you get enough spirits to ex an extra unit B)

[toxic cobalt]

Sycamore

[full mesa]

I don't get the question. SSRed/SSBlue can do champion. Why save someone for him?

[toxic cobalt]

These are all 2k teams

[full mesa]

Most units don't have grids. Also not enough time to build most of them. That's why we advised for 7.5k at start.

[toxic cobalt]

SS R Giovanni Sycamore and Cyrus are the ones who need grids there

[keen jasper]

I wonder if 4.3k pts. is possible on electric-weak Aaron

[full mesa]

That's what I said.

[full mesa]

If you max out ash and add 2 good kanto supports.

[toxic cobalt]

Right. Hopefully those are the ones with the grids then!

[dapper coyote]

Yes yes

[full mesa]

Good. Now level up everyone to 120-125, evolve them and you'll might be able to do 10k.

[toxic cobalt]

Lol let someone have a cute pony

[full mesa]

More stats.

Also you can have your own through eggs

A blue one too

[toxic cobalt]

More ponies is good ponies

[dapper coyote]

😂😂

[keen jasper]

Thunderbolt Red and who else?

But I guess he'll have to deal with the Sentry Entry x2

[full mesa]

Are you going to use both Zeus' rodents? Then you'll have to use Volkner if you can't set terrain with max move or something like Leaf.

[full mesa]

I don't think that it matters too much for SSTRedEx.

[keen jasper]

Even at 1/5?

[full mesa]

Then you need Volkner to maximize terrain. Yeah, you activate kanto passive. I don't think you'll have issues. Also he's quite bulky under terrain.

[dapper coyote]

Bruh why is my ssred dealing so less damage 😕

[full mesa]

Your first turns would look something like this:

1. V-Terrain, SST-Buff, A-Buff
2. V-TFang, SST-Max, A-Thunder
3. Ash-Thunder
   Ash Sync. After that Ash uses B move mid and SST takes care of sides.

[full mesa]

What move level and how do you buff him?

[dapper coyote]

1/5 and i used him with Blaine and ssblue

[toxic cobalt]

So less than what?

[dapper coyote]

Idk like 300s

Sometimes 1.5k

[full mesa]

You need to sync under sun. Also buff his spa and crit to max. 2 TMs, dire hit and use SSBlue TM for accel. Also only use Blast Burn.

[toxic cobalt]

Not sure what you're trying to say.

[dapper coyote]

These are my damage numbers

[toxic cobalt]

Sounds like it's not buffed

[dapper coyote]

Okay I'll try again

Also idk why but ssblue dies so fast

[toxic cobalt]

Who are you fighting?

[dapper coyote]

Agatha

Round 2

[toxic cobalt]

That would be because Blue is a physical tank not a special tank

[dapper coyote]

Ohh😶

[full mesa]

Wait. Are we talking about this week?

[dapper coyote]

Yeah

[full mesa]

That's team would work better against Lance imo. He's physical.

[dapper coyote]

Ok so cyrus' team against Agatha them

[toxic cobalt]

I will say it still works

Trap agatha first turn instead of being dumb like me

[dapper coyote]

Ok my ssblue doesn't last that long 😂

And mine are all 1/5

[toxic cobalt]

These are ungridded

[full mesa]

They should last. Also you need luck with at least one propulsion before each sync.

[dapper coyote]

What's that?

[formal vigil]

The passive that ss red gas that reduces sync countdown by 1

[dapper coyote]

Ohkk

[formal vigil]

When he attacks on has 20% chance to activate though

[dapper coyote]

Got it

[toxic cobalt]

Shouldn't need propulsion, SSR should be able to do enough damage

Doesn't hurt though!

[mellow linden]

Y’know what the big positive for Sinnoh CS is? Because of Bertha and Dragon weak Cynthia there’s good odds of a permanent field effects round parameter every week

[full mesa]

Apart from week 2 yes. The others have chances.

[toxic cobalt]

We’re going to need to plan ahead

[full mesa]

We can't. We don't know the field effects so any team we create can at any time be deleted for something else that takes advantage of the files parameters.

[toxic cobalt]

What do you mean? The enemies will be the same as last time probably

[full mesa]

Yes but the field effects won't. Aggravation/reflect/light screen/permanent weather/zone/terrain. Those thing can be game changing.

[toxic cobalt]

You mean plan before the week? I'm not talking that far ahead

[full mesa]

How far them?

[toxic cobalt]

Far enough that I can't pick a level and wing it

[full mesa]

Yeah, I've already made peace with that. 7 months ago Sinnoh handed me my behind. This time I'm getting revenge on the highest possible level.

[swift swan]

oh no, planning ahead and not walking into the battle blind? and I have to read the pins to see gimmicks? the horror

novemberninth weekly summary will make a comeback and people better not come here asking why they deal so little damage on insert entry x2 stage here

and of course people will do that

Godspeed to those starting out CS on Sinnoh though

[zealous karma]

Unsped up agatha is actually a really nice theme wth

[full mesa]

That's actually useful, thanks mate.

[zealous karma]

How did I beat lucian him with that much hp wow SSEthan good unit

[zealous karma]

Idk how to quad queue and Mina is way easier to use than BP Karen

Wow Hilbert cannot clear dark week without support Ex how have I just realized this

Sidney can’t kill a center mon without Ex til

[tribal agate]

check last pin here in this channel

but yeah Mina is great, always recommending her for fairy weaks

[tribal agate]

also those paras are awful wtf are you running

[zealous karma]

Strength 12 💀

I know how to quad queue but at the same time I swear the window is smaller for some units when it’s not the case (I did give up on BP Karen that was unfun)

Lorelei hits so hard

Is this what it feels like to be a new player I feel so bad

[tribal agate]

new players don't run STR 12

[zealous karma]

):

Oh my gosh

J have to fight bug

Crying tears

I chose the wrong week to Ex bianca

And the wrong year to Ex any units

[bright furnace]

What is the right year to EX units || also play the lodge to get 20 ||

[zealous karma]

I do!!!

Psychic is impossible without a 4* Tate and a good unit to support him

Who do I use for psychic crying

[stoic vine]

Planning my teams for hard mode next week

Off typing Lucian because I don't like any of my bug units

[mellow linden]

What’s Brawly for?

[stoic vine]

Because I don't need anyone with red

Two fillers basically lol

[mellow linden]

Could do Skyla then

Potion + Defense + Speed, basically go even more overkill

[stoic vine]

Good point

Mostly what I had him for minus the speed

Trying something new for Cynthia but have a backup Stall team just in case

Bertha and Aaron are the most experimental

[mellow linden]

Should be fine. Hard Mode?

[zealous karma]

For Cynthia why darach

[stoic vine]

Master Mode

And I honestly didn't know who to put in that slot

[zealous karma]

Koga

Or 3/5 plumeria

[stoic vine]

Koga Iris Sycamore?

[zealous karma]

Koga nukes harder than 1/5 Iris unless she’s Ex which I don’t think yours is

Yes

[stoic vine]

Don't have Plumeria

And she's not

yet

[zealous karma]

I’d only Ex her if she’s a fav since you’re saying yet I’m assuming she is lel

[stoic vine]

I'm really enjoying having a more aggressive playstyle for poison

[zealous karma]

Koga is great for those 🦑

[stoic vine]

I've been using him a bit. I like Janine more overall as a unit but she's slower

Aaron is my first time trying a sunny day team

Bertha is just a mess of "let me see if I can buff tserenna to oblivion and win"

[zealous karma]

Janine doesn’t have DPS or a sync nuke I’m curious what makes you prefer her more?

[stoic vine]

She's good for stalling. Debuffs the other team and gets decent damage if she crits while they're poisoned. She needs help but I enjoy her

Plus from my pulls she's a higher move level than Koga so that helps

[zealous karma]

Koga is an amazing poison unit with his grid when you can candy him to 3/5 I highly recommd using him more

[stoic vine]

I'll give him a shot

I've got some spare candies I can use

Gotta save up some sync orbs for him but I'll use him for Cynthia

Poor Blaine. I don't like him but he's my only sunny day user

[zealous karma]

Hope you can get tech Ninetails 🦑

[stoic vine]

If that team doesn't work I'm switching to Red with charizard

And I think I have one

Just haven't been using eggmons

[zealous karma]

Do you have 3/5 hilbert Samurott?

[stoic vine]

Heard they weren't too good so didn't pay them aby mind

Lemme check

Nope 1/5

[zealous karma]

Hilbert is amazing I wonder where you heard that

At 1/5 he’s more decent at 3/5 is where he truly shines tho

finally got it right

That’s how they should do against cynthia next week

[stoic vine]

Oh I know Hilbert is good, I was meaning eggmons

[zealous karma]

Ohh

[stoic vine]

Don't normally hear anyone talk about them, let alone positively

[zealous karma]

Most egg mons are bad or decent

Tech Ninetails sets Sun and has a one bar so it’s on the better side of egg mons

[stoic vine]

So would a tech ninetails be better than blaine?

I got it shiny 😅

[zealous karma]

Imo yes unless your Blaine has speedy entry lucky skill

They’re both there to set Sun but it doesn’t matter unless you’re using a gauge heavy unit such as SSRed but then again SSRed gets a lot of theme skills from him

Is your red 2/5 or 1/5? I will check the calc rn

[stoic vine]

I planned to try to use silver, and if that didn't work swapping him with SSRed

1/5

[zealous karma]

Alr 🦑

If your silver is Powrr boost and Ex he’s 100% better than rrd

[stoic vine]

Haven't done anything with him so neither of those. Just got him to 5/5

[zealous karma]

Who do you plan to support red with Idk if you already mentioned that

[zealous karma]

Silver syncs harder but red deals more damage 🦑

[stoic vine]

That I'm not sure of just yet

Probably should have sent that

[zealous karma]

You could use ash for Aaron instead

[stoic vine]

I could yeah. Just wanted to try out something different first

In an extreme case where I can't win I'll just kill everything with ash

[zealous karma]

Man imagine if he was 4*

Tate is a really good unit wh

[zealous karma]

Man BP Janine just dies

[bright furnace]

Yeah don’t tank with her, Richu

[zealous karma]

Too late for that

[zealous karma]

I adore 20% chances

[dusty path]

What was the 20% there?

[zealous karma]

80% chance to crit, 20% not to

[dusty path]

Oh alright then, forgot about that

[zealous karma]

I got what I wanted tho

3* tate btw

[white gale]

How's this look for week 1 of Sinnoh hard mode? Trying to maximize # of types I get in:
Fire weak:
BP Morty (Ghost)
Ex'd Silver (Fire) (maybe SS Hilda if I go for her)
Hop (Steel)

Grass weak:
SS Erika (Grass)
Nanu (Dark)
Hilbert (Water)

Psychic weak:
SS Steven (Psychic)
Redlax (Normal)
SSA Cyntha (Fighting)

Bug weak (but with Wise Entry x 2):
SST Red (Electric)
SS Brendan (Dragon)
Aaron (Bug)

Poison weak:
BP Erika (Grass)
Janine (Poison)
Xerneas (Fairy)

[swift swan]

Ss brendan, as a special support, doesn't seem to help sst red much but I don't think he needs any help

[white gale]

yeah he's there for Dragon type, support Ex, and to buff SpDef since Lucian and his team basically only has Sp Attacks

[swift swan]

For the ss steven team, I'd say be careful with the right side who has hammer arm (which will get boosted by ssa cynthia's fighting zone)

[swift swan]

That should work then

[white gale]

LOL I didn't even think about that interaction. maybe drop SSA Cynthia for another Fighting support then.

nice catch

Maybe Cobalion?

SS Steven doesn't need buff help, so the MGA can maybe help as well as the DEf buff against the 2 PHyAtt moves the enemy has

[swift swan]

Sure, that can work

[white gale]

or give that team Aaron and put SSA Cynthia with SST Red (since SST Red doesn't need any help buffing either)

[swift swan]

It works either way I suppose. I'm more inclined with Aaron staying where he is against Lucian but you can switch them up and you'll still win

Both can buff defense and sp defense right

Plus can heal

[white gale]

ok I can try one way and see if it works. Aaron buffs both def and spdef, and can heal himself

[austere quest]

I forgot that I have yet to unlock Master Mode for Sinnoh

Think Sinnoh, Alola, and Galar are the only ones which I have yet to unlock Master Mode for

[mellow linden]

You get a chill week 1 then

[austere quest]

Assuming that Galar and Alola have a Champion Stadium

I think that Galar doesn’t even have an Elite Four?

[mellow linden]

Galar and Kalos don’t have Champion Stadium as of yet

[austere quest]

Oh Kalos doesn’t have one either?

Weird

[mellow linden]

Nope, it doesn’t. I believe order of release is Kanto -> Johto -> Unova -> Alola -> Sinnoh -> Hoenn

[austere quest]

Huh

So Kalos probably up next I imagine?

[mellow linden]

We’ll most likely get Kalos CS either in the lead-up to or shortly after Kalos Villain Arc, but no guarantees

[austere quest]

Fair

Since Galar has no Elite Four, not sure if we will ever see that be a thing

[mellow linden]

Yeah, not sure how they’re planning to handle Galar CS if they ever implement it

[trail smelt]

Probably rotating E4

So every contestant possible LMAO

[swift swan]

I think they'll add a CS for galar and make the bosses use max moves

Like, there's no way they won't milk Galar for CS

[sacred mountain]

I'm in a pinch , i reinstalled today and i need to get all the CS 5* powerup tickets to EX

Maxie

Can I post units and someone help me make teams fast

[spring fable]

Oh I need to unlock mm for next month

[toxic cobalt]

#1011675077764456519 message Here are some fast teams, but obviously you can sub your better units in

[swift swan]

Sinnoh is the hardest CS we've had so far, but good luck! Feel free to @ me if you need help

[viral moat]

What's a good poison stall team?

[mellow linden]

Janine + someone who inflicts Bad Poison (via Toxic, Poison Fang, or Venomous) + a tank

Can substitute Janine with another Attack/Sp. Atk./both debuffer as necessary

[viral moat]

Janine, SS leaf and Sonia work?

[mellow linden]

I'd personally recommend someone like Skyla, Misty + Psyduck, or BP Morty more so that you can save Sonia for more offense-oriented teams

[viral moat]

Alrighty

[sacred mountain]

I remembered why I hated CS

[zealous karma]

Anyone have any challenge run ideas I did no EX

[mellow linden]

Maybe for 1 stage do “Anti Koga Slander PSA” and off-type with him?

[zealous karma]

Doable!

[zealous karma]

I did it and recorded it 🦑

Now if only I could speed it ridiculously fast

[mellow linden]

Oh, I was expecting the suggestions to be for after reset

But cool

[storm moss]

Anyone able to help with MM?

[mellow linden]

What point value?

[storm moss]

10k is possible

[mellow linden]

Alright, show us your roster (ideally via screenshots from the move level menu) so we can give the best possible advice

[storm moss]

There the most points one gotten so far

[mellow linden]

If you want you can go to 1.5k per stage 1st, but if you’d like to move to 2k per stage that’s fine

[storm moss]

Yea I wanna get all the rewards

There's my roster

[mellow linden]

So 1st off, SS Serena is a great back pocket option in case you get stuck

Ash is another great back pocket option

You could try:

• Sabrina + Giovanni + Bianca for Bruno

• SS Wally + Classic Giovanni + Mina for Lance

• SS Cyrus + Karen + Kiawe or Hop + Masked Royal + Nessa for Agatha

• N + Volkner + Hilbert for Lorelei

• Alder + SS Blue + 3rd teammate (BP Morty, maybe?) for Blue

If you have trouble you can either come back here to workshop it a bit or use a team of SS Serena + Lucas + a 3rd teammate (Marley would be good; you’ll clear so fast she can tank long enough) to just murder the stage

[storm moss]

Awesome!

What point total am I doing 1.5?

Or is this for the full 10k

[mellow linden]

Should work for either

[storm moss]

Sweet

[mellow linden]

@storm moss you were looking for team advice for this week of CS and not the week that starts tomorrow, right?

[storm moss]

Yes this week

[mellow linden]

Ok, just making sure I didn't accidentally give you teams for the wrong week

Things would not have gone well if I had

[storm moss]

I never really do MM but I wanna start cus I want more EX's

I got a ton of supports I want to EX

[mellow linden]

Understandable

[storm moss]

I have 29 so far. 30 with Gehtsis tomorrow

Should have 31 with Silver butttt ye boi didnt 20/20 him LOL

Just got SS blue 10/20

Sonia I think is next

Had like 50k sync orbs so I built a TON of supports

[trail smelt]

Reset imminent to final Kanto week so get your stuff done

[wicked pebble]

How does this look for this week?

[mellow linden]

Looks fine enough

Could split up Ash and SST Red so that one of them is a back pocket option

[wicked pebble]

doing 850

[mellow linden]

Yeah, should be fine for 850

[tired sleet]

1 more week of kanto

[mellow linden]

Yep

[sharp totem]

should be all good for next week

[trail smelt]

What is that Blue team haha

[sharp totem]

it'll be easy enough with fire weakness

if not i'll switch out ss red for sst and volt tackle shennanigans

if i cant kill with red sync then ash b thunderbolt clears

[swift swan]

well if you want ss red to be the damage dealer, a sun setter is better

[toxic cobalt]

Can’t believe I come back to this thread and people are debating whether an Ash SSR CynthiA team will win smdh

[mellow linden]

I don’t think anyone is debating whether it can win so much as “but why”

[toxic cobalt]

Kanto buffs

And then Sygma suit theme skill

[mellow linden]

…

I guess

[toxic cobalt]

Stupidly easy week so hopefully people have fun

[mellow linden]

Yeah, I’m gonna be trying out a weird BP Candice comp with Glacia and Palentine’s Bea as Supports

[toxic cobalt]

Hail grid Glacia?

[mellow linden]

Yep

At least partially

[toxic cobalt]

Ooh. That’s an idea. I was thinking of seeing if I could make not great duos.

[mellow linden]

If it doesn’t work out I’ll be doing the backup plan of a Holiday Nessa comp

[zealous karma]

Not without EX units (:

No ex run is the hardest one I’ve ever done

[toxic cobalt]

Lol I do this every week

[zealous karma]

How many ex resources fo you have

[toxic cobalt]

Probably like 1k

[zealous karma]

That’s a weeks worth of Ex tho that seems low

[zealous karma]

Why don’t more F2P clears use Kareneon and Nanu for dark week?

https://streamable.com/jxoefu

Like this isn’t to bad right?

[toxic cobalt]

I can never get Karen to work

Recoil is no good

Nanu probably because his grid is still new

Also flinch nukes are in general pretty finicky

[swift swan]

case in point: Tate

oh his is regular moves. My point still stands

[zealous karma]

Technically it’s interference sync so could use will for confusion

[toxic cobalt]

This is why I had to use Acerola

[zealous karma]

She needs def drops which Nanu happy offers you should try the team some time both my Karen and Nanu are still their base stats and are both 3/5

[toxic cobalt]

Oh I can get her to kill mid no problem, the problem is she also kills herself

I swear I’ve even seen her one shot herself

[toxic cobalt]

I totally forgot Drake got a grid

Did I miss last month entirely or something?

Sync regen!!! Can Drake now stall?

Huh I missed Wilfric too

[plucky pewter]

Honestly I think I'll keep leaving CSMM to be done in the last two hours because I seem to do better somehow 🤔😂

Nah just makes me have to think on the go and really learn and understand the units

[swift swan]

wouldn't recommend that for Sinnoh later lol. it took me hours the first time I did Sinnoh 10k

[toxic cobalt]

Yes don’t do this in a week

Takes an hour just to read Nov’s guide

[plucky pewter]

oh i won't, was just amusing for me cause i only just finished for this week and i did the same last week xD

[dark osprey]

ah. that's nice. forgot that Nanu has a decent nuke now. can actually deny both left & right mons there and also focus the first Nanu sync at the center followed by a denial by Karen on the left. do not even need the healing for Karen with that i believe.

[wicked pebble]

Okay, what all is gonna show up for Unova?

Because I'm not sure how much I want Hilda considering I have SS Red and Anni N.

I think Fire is pretty locked down.

derp, wrong chat

[eternal lodge]

this week seems to be one of the easiest for ontype

[toxic cobalt]

Super easy week

An ironic contrast with next week

[eternal lodge]

not that much of a contrast, only 2 offtype elite four: poison and bug

[toxic cobalt]

We will see

[devout sluice]

I was not expecting some trouble on water.

Turns out had to sync may not Archie.

[eternal lodge]

in my case the only problem was grass, had half health mod and they kept spamming aoe, i simply changed that and it became a cakewalk

[pine spruce]

any suggestions on who to pick for this week's stadium?

[sharp totem]

thankfully i cant do master mode next week since it'll be my first time doing sinnoh cs

[toxic cobalt]

four of the stages are easy matches to free legendaries. That leaves only grass with potential trouble, but even then you could just solar beam it with Silver.

[sharp totem]

bug weak lucian mightve given me trouble

[toxic cobalt]

I can't remember bug weak Lucian, I can only remember Aaron

[pine spruce]

I was meanting at what order, since I dont have all the legendaries leveled yet XD

[sharp totem]

was it that bad?

[toxic cobalt]

Also steel weak Bertha but mostly Aaron

I think it wasn't as bad as people say, but it's definitely harder

[pine spruce]

also is it weird that I still have kanto championship?

[toxic cobalt]

We all have Kanto for one week more

[sharp totem]

next week sinnoh starts

[toxic cobalt]

It is weird that they have a week of Kanto the next month but

[sharp totem]

got ash and sst red at least, aaron still sounds like a menace tho

[toxic cobalt]

Oh I dunno, what are the field parameters this week? I haven't looked

[sharp totem]

they're pretty mid

[toxic cobalt]

Oh you'll be fine then! Last time was pre those, and pre even Hau EX.

[pine spruce]

lemme check

[toxic cobalt]

I'm personally planning to at some point hit Aaron right in the face with a six gauge buddy move.

[toxic cobalt]

Nice, a more fun week than usual

[pine spruce]

was thinking that I'll be using helena at r3 but hmm

blue's para is physical move boost for both sides

[toxic cobalt]

Physical Silver time

[pine spruce]

Time to get silver ready

[toxic cobalt]

With those field parameters this week is really simple. Silver for fire, Cyrus for water, Ghetsis for ice, Slowgaleo (and Hop!) for steel, then you can poison grass no problem on round 3.

Of course ymmv but that's a fallback!

[trail smelt]

God DAMN I wasn’t expecting SSHilda to burn Blue that bad

[toxic cobalt]

What were you expecting???

[trail smelt]

Ready for next week… hopefully

[sharp totem]

this should be good

[trail smelt]

Less resistance to getting exploded

[toxic cobalt]

Literally has a physical damage buff

[sharp totem]

i need another sunny day user, always end up usin erika and morty together

[trail smelt]

Why together?

You can split those two up

[sharp totem]

cause erika struggles to kill more than red

[trail smelt]

There’s EggTales and Blaine

[sharp totem]

prolly wont be as much an issue once she gets ex tho

olivia and karen are who im planning next tho

but yeah, i'll try erika and morty seperately next time

[spring fable]

Should I start my runs with this? Also which order?

[silver dirge]

Why was everyone talkin about Aaron and using Ash against him? No Aaron today

[toxic cobalt]

Planning for 28 November

[keen jasper]

Because PTSD

[toxic cobalt]

Order doesn’t matter much this week, go nuts except maybe for Gloria

[boreal rose]

[spring fable]

Which one do you think will be my hardest fight?

[toxic cobalt]

Well, Lance, unless you change out either Gloria or Sol!

Need for speed there

Otherwise your teams are pretty stacked

[keen jasper]

I used Gloria, she works just fine

Even if I do have EX OG Jasmine and Hop

[toxic cobalt]

You used Gloria in a double striker team with MC Solgaleo?

[boreal rose]

Is Agatha physical?

[keen jasper]

Mostly special

[boreal rose]

Oh

Oh it applies both

I didnt see that

[pine spruce]

yea she can apply both

[boreal rose]

I was close

But Xatu woke up

[keen jasper]

I was mostly annoyed at Blue

Because I wanted to fully set up Hilda's nuke

[boreal rose]

I didnt even beat round 1

Idk who to even put with SumSteven

[toxic cobalt]

Which Steven?

[silver dirge]

uh V-create straight up does 26k after sync with no SE ^ or phys up next. but with confusion synergy 2

[toxic cobalt]

Oh Ice steven

A hail unit presumably

[keen jasper]

Man, Hilda did 58k damage against Blue with her sync

With +2 sync buff and -6 Def.

[toxic cobalt]

Alternatively a buffer

[pine spruce]

holy

[keen jasper]

@silver dirge BTW I was using OG Hilda

[silver dirge]

oh shyt

[boreal rose]

Doesnt help ngl

[keen jasper]

Not SS

[silver dirge]

that's pretty damn good

[keen jasper]

Oh yeah, with also sun as well

I wish I had her EX-ed

[boreal rose]

Man. Idk what team to use and who to do 1st round

[pine spruce]

lol

[boreal rose]

Cuz Agatha definetly not rd

R4

[keen jasper]

You could try Glacia against Agatha

[boreal rose]

Why Glacia

[keen jasper]

Because freeze hax

AoE freeze hax

[toxic cobalt]

If summer steven won't work for whatever reason just use Ghetsis

[boreal rose]

No

[toxic cobalt]

[boreal rose]

Ghetsis is ugly

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis can kinda help you survive longer with his Noble Roar

[boreal rose]

How?

[keen jasper]

Lowered offensive stats against the enemy

[boreal rose]

Ok

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis also has freeze hax as well

Too bad it doesn't stack with the R2 parameter

[toxic cobalt]

You mean r3?

[keen jasper]

Ah yeah

[silver dirge]

LOL SS Hilda, being a striker, does 76k damage on the mid with 2x sync buff, scorching sync 5 & rising tide

[full mesa]

Nice. I'll candy her. Spend 17k just for a copy... Anyhow, how is week's challenge?

[swift swan]

Looks good enough. Order doesn't matter much, though I'd suggest be careful if you want to fight Agatha or Lance R1. Agatha has air slash, Lance has Iron Head, good chance for them to flinch your tank

[swift swan]

But he works even without his powerboost. I understand not wanting to use a unit out of personal grudge but if you don't have a lot of options maybe, idk, use them just to beat a stage and deal with it

[trail smelt]

I did lol

Triple legendary steel beasts team hoooooooo

[swift swan]

I mean Gloria has amazing speed and good MGR

I also like to use her for gauge

[toxic cobalt]

Kanto abuse

[swift swan]

We need to enjoy bullying Kanto while it lasts!

In return, we'll get bullied next week!

[trail smelt]

I mean my Blue team is also overkill lol

Triple legendary fire

[old orchid]

ooooh cant wait for Sinnoh

[swift swan]

Oddly enough, same

I spent months hating on Sinnoh but found myself missing the dopamine and frustration it gives me

[old orchid]

Sinnoh and Hoenn are the only CS I enjoy the most, because they are actual challenges

[zealous karma]

Wait it’s not sinnoh this week? ):

Does cold snap work with the additional effecy param or no?

[plush tangle]

iirc no

[swift swan]

No

It only works on innate effects of moves

[zealous karma]

Does Gloria’s move effecy work with it?

[topaz cradle]

parameters for 3000?

[zealous karma]

Like the enemy sync buff makes her deal more damage

[swift swan]

Hmm I don't think so. It just says "are more likely to occur"

[swift swan]

3000... Per stage?

[zealous karma]

I run this for 3K

15K runs are fun

[topaz cradle]

yeah

kanto is boring anyway

[topaz cradle]

going to try owo

thx

[swift swan]

Holy shit stacking all attack and strength

[zealous karma]

That’s what I did lel

Victor was able to 3K off type with those pretty well

[swift swan]

Idk if I ever want to try that lol. I'll just wait until they raise the max rewards cap agsin

[topaz cradle]

nope

im trying with him sc sonia and lyra against lorelei

[zealous karma]

It’s actually not to bad 3K isn’t that hard but I do have broken pairs

[zealous karma]

Oh I meant Victor was able to off type pretty welll for me witb those params lel

[swift swan]

Richu either has 5/5 EX Zerena or 5/5 EX Calem. The range.

[swift swan]

Are you running monotype too on top of 3k or is this just coincidence

[zealous karma]

I was able to 3K on type with Calem so (:

[topaz cradle]

i usually run monotype yes

or double striker

[zealous karma]

For 3K highly recommend double strike

[topaz cradle]

yep

[topaz cradle]

owo

but i need terrain too

[lunar meadow]

I do monotype, but at 2k lol

Ice and poison are a challenge still, but I can solidly get them done now

[undone ether]

Busted.

[swift swan]

#1010274591601598555

[eternal lodge]

I believe I'm more than ready for next week, only problem I see I could have is Bertha because of how frail Groudon can be.

[undone ether]

try not using Groudon's Trainer Skill

and just maximize your stats without using Groudon's TS .-.

eitherway

you're probably gonna run Aaron on your team.

[swift swan]

I'm more worried about Lyra who can't tank a lot tbh

You get rid of Bertha's sand and you'll be fine

[tired sleet]

I did 10k needed some luck with silver dodge rng tho

[keen silo]

no sync buff, holy moly

[undone ether]

Has sync buff xd

[keen silo]

o I didn't see it in the pic, how many

[undone ether]

Just 1 from ex sonia

[keen silo]

ah

Still huge damage thou

🔥

[undone ether]

Prob is rng for burning hum

[blazing lake]

What parameters did you use?

[keen jasper]

Time to prepare my teams for next week

Which week does Cynthia does her whole evasion gimmick?

[subtle forge]

Fighting weak Cynthia

So like the last week

[keen jasper]

I used Glacia for this CS

Just wish she has more amount on her TM

[eternal lodge]

i dont use its ts, it is just that it still cant tank as much

[eternal lodge]

it can tank enough to sync, and i dont need a second sync since groudon + leafeon deal a shit ton of dmg

[fleet cove]

I agree. I ran a Hail build but Enduring is still a welcome addition

[keen jasper]

My teams for next week

I'm excited to try out Lucy on a poison-weak stage

[peak stirrup]

I was thinking of going Ghetsis/Clement/EX Sabrina vs Agatha, but there’s no possible way to get -6 to all stats pre-sync

Well, Sp Atk/Atk are easy, but not speed.
I don’t have enough turns

[mellow linden]

Could just do post-Sync then

Ghetsis is kinda meant for that sorta thing

[long thicket]

Well, I'm seeing some repeats for stuff I've already asked about.
Maybe I should save the advices I get elsewhere.

I can't dedicate time for CS right away, so I'd have to ask a little later on the week.

[mellow linden]

It makes sense that you'd get similar advice considering 4 of the 5 stages are repeat weaknesses this Kanto cycle

[summer flare]

Today I did my first 10k with on type fire

Felt weird to use silver the way I did, but I'm not gonna question it too much

Team was Skyla Sabrina silver

I still don't really like using him

But at first now I know it's easier to do fire on type if I give up on sun completely

[mellow linden]

Tbh that sounds more like you have issues with teambuilding when including Sun. I use regular Hilda + Sun setter + Support for Fire weak CS regularly and 2k no problem

[trail smelt]

Fairy weak too

[magic crown]

Did anyone use Serena this week

[trail smelt]

Not me

I think almost everybody unleashed SSHilda lol

[magic crown]

I did one ten for her today and got shit now I'm going to have to save for another ten

[swift swan]

What does this make me then

[trail smelt]

The minority

[magic crown]

You used red without sun?

[swift swan]

Don't have ss morty, used ss erika elsewhere, don't feel like using tech ninetails or blaine, don't want to sync with Lyra or Silver for it

I can always go for a team of SS Red/Lyra/Silver but just not today

Those two combined did enough damage to kill mid right after postsync. Can't really complain

[summer flare]

My only good sun setter is SS Erika, but I already used her on grass weak

[swift swan]

Of course I would never recommend this kind of team to people asking for advice lol

[summer flare]

It's likely something that will remain like that until I get SS morty

[mellow linden]

Blaine exists though

[swift swan]

Silver/Lyra/Blaine should be good enough for fire weak 10k

[mellow linden]

Not super amazing or anything, but handles Sun just fine

[swift swan]

Also, no arcanine blue? He immensely benefits from the sun and the upcoming fire gear

[boreal holly]

one sync to rule them all

[trail smelt]

Haha same team as me

[swift swan]

Everyday I regret my decision skipping ss morty

[ocean beacon]

me but choosing ssdawn over ssmorty in that select scout

[zealous karma]

I did

[magic crown]

Ex'd or no

[zealous karma]

EX’d

But if she’s 3/5 Shiism work fine

[undone ether]

Full def and levels

[mellow linden]

Ah, just realized that Rock weak Flint and Ground weak Aaron will be the same week. That’s kinda annoying

[toxic cobalt]

Gen I moment

[mellow linden]

Moreso that I use Sand teams for both types

But at least I have Bertha and Acerola now, so no need for Tech Kabutops

[zealous karma]

Acerola doesn’t get paid enough for this

[daring osprey]

I did not even need ss morty..for blue ss elesa and anni rihan and anni n was enough that sun and trap bro

[wicked otter]

damn v create damage is so stupid against blue, feels like hitting with sync

[hidden ore]

Hmm Agatha or Lorelei are the hardest this stage?

Can’t figure out best parameter to beat them
I normally use post sync

[keen jasper]

How TF does everyone evade a 95 accuracy attack?

[main crow]

Ghetsis Kyurem should be doable for post sync 2k Agatha even without ex

[spring fable]

Tm first

[main crow]

Perhaps bring a special support to Agatha on round 3?

[plucky pewter]

feels bad only just got my sabrina alakazam grid done

[wicked otter]

i guess with ghetsis ex, he can off type csmm now, so many options

[hidden ore]

Ghetsis ex 😔
Meanwhile I don’t have his powerups cuz a bad mistake in the past

[main crow]

Exchanged for the common 5* PU?

[potent wadi]

I can't remember which ones have Wise/Sentry Entry X2

Bug Lucian is Wise Entry iirc

[old orchid]

Thats right

[toxic cobalt]

He already could

[onyx ice]

I true him against aghata and he kinda struggled to presync clear

[old orchid]

With or without sup ex?

[onyx ice]

With ex

I mean the ex one shot

But the sides where like 3hit ko

[old orchid]

I only need 2 hits to knock down them

Did you grid Overpower?

[onyx ice]

Yes but i can't really debuffs sides spatk

[old orchid]

Oh i also didnt debuff sides spatk

Just max hunter instinct

[onyx ice]

Then overpower is useless

[old orchid]

Im lazy to adjust grid lol

[toxic cobalt]

How are the sides relevant for presync?

[old orchid]

Maybe i used him with ex glacia, so that his spatk is a bit higher

[onyx ice]

Yes with 6ex support is a different story

But i was talking about 1st sync 6ex tech sync

However i don't like that setup, i just run it just to try his ex

I'm not satisfied if any rng is involved in a clear

Unless I'm trying some kind of meme run

[toxic cobalt]

Given ghetsis isn't designed to first sync kill with no rng this feels a big ask

[onyx ice]

My best ice option is probably still hala

[rigid flint]

With ghetsis I tend to clear post sync

[onyx ice]

Wondering if I should go for genesect, since it will probably be my best ice type

[rigid flint]

But I also use the funny freeze team with pryce

[onyx ice]

Yes but i don't really like to go post sync

I'm also reluctant to not give the opponent -2 sync

Without -2 sync ghethsis can DPS Agatha presync with 6ex support

[toxic cobalt]

Wait you do all your battles with -2 sync?

[onyx ice]

But i find that BP Candice + Pryce, do a better job

[toxic cobalt]

That's a very very different battle

[onyx ice]

Generally, yes

[toxic cobalt]

Then every run is a meme run !

[onyx ice]

Sometimes even -3

[onyx ice]

Most units can do 2k master mode with -2 sync

With proper teammates

[rigid flint]

That's true but personally I wouldn't recommend it

[toxic cobalt]

Most units hmm?

[onyx ice]

. maybe not stuffs like Norman, but i think most units can

Most of my runs are DPS with 6ex support

But sometimes i run sync nukes too

But i don't have much ex nuker

[dark osprey]

yeah. -2 sync countdown is quite practical nowadays. for eg: Silver, Cyrus, Candice, Olivia, Sidney etc. can do it with accesible teammates i feel. that's excluding the crazy limited ones we are getting.

But wouldn't go ahead and say most units

[onyx ice]

Yes, oliva can do it with dps grid

(still my best rock type DPS)

[dark osprey]

i do feel it does kinda depend on the support quite a lot as well

[onyx ice]

6ex Hilbert

And kukui

I feel kukui is pretty underrated

[dark osprey]

yeah. wish he would get a powerboost though. give him some more nukey stuff

more accessible ones i guess

[onyx ice]

One of the few techs that doesn't have a tech innate buff

I think the only other one is mew

[hidden ore]

Non ex Kyu

[onyx ice]

For how i generally run it, ex makes no difference

[plucky pewter]

yeah but free ex is free ex.. hopefully the expanded grid its getting will improve it a bit more

[onyx ice]

Yes i exed it

But i Will probably make good use of his ex only on gauntlet

For gauntlet is a great buff

[keen jasper]

Wish he had more multipliers on his sync

[main crow]

Is he grided?

[onyx ice]

I mean 100% on top of tech innate and 6ex tech isn't that bad

[main crow]

I suggest you bring a speed support

ScLillie/Ghetsis/speed sp @hidden ore

[onyx ice]

Problem is that debuffs on opponent multipliers are the most annoying, unless it's something fast to achieve

[keen jasper]

OG Lyra is the best one I have, besides I'm only showing Ghetsis off

If I had 3/5 Thunderbolt Red, I would've easily replaced Pryce for him

[onyx ice]

I run 1/5 classic elesa

[keen jasper]

Too bad I don't have her

[onyx ice]

Clermont is more gauge friendly

P serena would be the best speed debuff option gauge wise

[keen jasper]

Yeah but Pryce can grant more damage to Ghetsis because of theme skill

Besides, my Pryce is only 4* level 120

[onyx ice]

Yes but 4 gauge + 3 gauge on 2 slow mons is kinda annoying

[keen jasper]

Also, that was max HP and max offensive parameters that I did

[hidden ore]

Ghetsis is gridded, but I don’t know what params are best

Non ex as I explained

And these are support speed buffers I have

[main crow]

Gimme a sec

Lemme grab my kyu grid

[hidden ore]

I have Ash, Red, ssSteven, Renegade Cynthia, Zerena etc, but wanted to use ice against Agatha plus sst Red is starting to be boring now

[main crow]

Since you have a support ex I can suggest using noble roar on the center in the first sync cycle

Then start doing glaciate after the support sync

[hidden ore]

What parameters in master mode?

[main crow]

Post sync 2k, change no stats drop to smth else

Any round as long as it's not round 4 for Agatha

[main crow]

Roxanne should be decent she has spatk + spdef up if your SC lillie doesn't have her MPR

Or skyla for an extra batch of potions

Your choice they're both should be doable

[hidden ore]

I have 1st round

So going with Agatha as first

Then 2nd Lorelei

Is that good?
