Champion Stadium

[toxic cobalt]

Not dealing with evasion hax

[swift swan]

preferably someone who can buff speed too

[swift swan]

gioking go brrrr

[toxic cobalt]

If Gioking misses he loses his critical crit train

[swift swan]

if someone finds it easier than Hoenn they're tripping

[swift swan]

good thing he won't!

pair suggestions from the in-game tips?

on paper it seems like Flint's the scariest but psychic roster is just so bloated I didn't remember having trouble at all

lucian's gonna trample me over though

anyone got tips for EX Hilbert/Guzma/Lunge Lusamine comp

[tribal agate]

you mean the ones that keep recommending me Leon?? 😭

[swift swan]

"we recommend you to use a pair that hasn't reran since his debut in february 2021!"

non-leon havers stay seething

that's me, I'm a non-leon haver

[full mesa]

I'm loving those DeNa tips.

[swift swan]

unfortunately for Sinnoh I couldn't replicate a single one

[sick stump]

revised teams 👍

honestly moving ssmorty to the fire team was a very nice suggestion, cuz i forgot the only sun multiplier I got on brendan was for his moves and I have grassy terrain + support ex boosting that

[spring fable]

how is next week cs?

i havent cleared sinnoh, so that means i need to use the specific types again?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, you’ll have to fill out Sinnoh’s type medal to unlock Master Mode

So 1 week of Hard Mode only

[spring fable]

damn idk if i can do it though

[mellow linden]

Hard Mode should be fine

[spring fable]

i need to use all 18 types?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, but since it’s impossible to do all 18 in 1 week you can break it up across 2 to make it easier to fit the types

[spring fable]

shucks 2 weeks of no rewards then

[mellow linden]

Only 1 since once you unlock Master Mode you can reset to do your point run that same week. It’s no big deal, everyone has to lose a week on their 1st time doing a region

[spring fable]

thats true

[swift swan]

My grass team consists of brendan/ss lyra/ss erika so I have both terrain and sun for Brendan's DPS. Very unnecessary though lol

[swift swan]

2 weeks minimum if they've never done it before

[hidden ore]

Hmm its tempting against Lucian to use Aaron & Escav & Gilbert

[swift swan]

Oh you said "only". Then yeah 1 week of no MM rewards

[swift swan]

Should work. No accelgor?

Hilbert's special sadly so he won't be doing as much damage. And -1 rebuff is still less than a zone multiplier

Not that it'll be hard though, with emmet on the team

[hidden ore]

No Accelgor

😔

Wanted to pull him cause I liked the unit & event

[swift swan]

Ah. It's alright, you should have an easy time with either one of the sc twins

Meanwhile the rest of us are seething

At least Noland and Bugsy have grids now

[upper mantle]

With these sync pairs is it possible for me to 2k each mode?

(images are sending)

[swift swan]

Next time, screenshot from the upgrade screen (and from the move level tab) to get more sync pairs in 1 picture. Or better yet, use the sync pair tracker https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

[upper mantle]

My bad I will

[mellow linden]

At a glance it looks like you’ll be fine

[swift swan]

..wow, EX SS brock

[swift swan]

I'd say yes. You have some very good units. The demon rats, great supports, kantrio can all be in separate teams, summer N, ss korrina, ss wally, ss may, ss steven, ss cyrus (basically a cheat code), ss leon, pal marnie, ss hilda...

[mellow linden]

It’s a shame Ghost weak Lucian is Wise Entry, really won’t help Helena out with breaking people out of the “3-star = bad” mindset like she should be doing

[tired sleet]

Hmm is groudon worth slotting for Bertha?

Then I use 2 grasses?

[dark osprey]

Do you mean groudon with Bertha?

[tired sleet]

As in versus bertha

So groudon and 2 grass types

[dark osprey]

Oh. Yeah.. That should be good

Double strikers are great

Support need not be grass i guess

[upper mantle]

alright can somone please help, I'm stuck on 2k bruno.
The units I've used are - skyla, glacia, brendan/latios, ghetis, sst red/pikachu, jasmine/ceslesteelia, leaf/vensuar, may/blaziken, ash.
the units I'm trying to save for blue - Cynthia/lucario, hilda/victini.

the left over units -

[toxic cobalt]

Cyrus Roxanne May

[upper mantle]

alright which modifiers do I go for?

[toxic cobalt]

Standard presync

[upper mantle]

is there a video I can follow cause whatever I'm doing aint working

[toxic cobalt]

I can make one

[upper mantle]

yes please, it'd be much appriciated.

[upper mantle]

Tysm, mind me asking which grids you used?

[toxic cobalt]

Not sending my Mudkip grid because lol. Grid May to have crit MPr and for sync nuke.

[upper mantle]

fair, ty.

[upper mantle]

ok after several attempts and non stop losing I decided to sacrifice 500 points since the last reward didn't matter much.

[trail smelt]

I’m surprised Rain Cyrus couldn’t cut it

[wicked otter]

That's rain cyrus and all 3/5 with lvl 135 why the strength only 26k i think it should ve been around 30k and it should be easy with that team

[swift swan]

Probably because May is unevolved

Which is, btw, very based

[toxic cobalt]

Genuinely, I feel losing the one bar would weaken the team

[swift swan]

Did you triple queue like in the video? And got Cyrus to +6 sp attack?

[zealous karma]

Honestly I just realized how F2P clears are some of the more fun ones

I think I’ll record one

[tired sleet]

Should I use redpika on the bug weak over alder?

[dark osprey]

Probably.

You're talking about the next week's CS right?

[tired sleet]

Sinnoh yes

[dark osprey]

Yeah physical attacker better than alder

What move level is your Red pika?

[tired sleet]

3

[dark osprey]

Ah awesome

[tired sleet]

I still think Bertha is gonna be wierd af

Do I run like groudon hooh and celebi?

That shit looks jank lol

Hooh being morty ho oh

[dark osprey]

Ho oh as in silver? That would be more than enough

[tired sleet]

Silver is probably stuck with aaron

[dark osprey]

Oh. Ss Morty wouldn't be that necessary

Do you have SS Erika?

[tired sleet]

Maybe I should use rain team on bertha

Uhh I think so

1/5 tho

[dark osprey]

1/5 itself is great

[tired sleet]

And I still have to manage my typing too for the medal

[dark osprey]

Oh wait

If it's for the medal you'd have to make teams accordingly

[tired sleet]

Ya I have no clue this time

I'm assuming all those passives in hard mode as well

If it isn't then probably not too bad

[dark osprey]

If this is your first Sinnoh CS try to get in like 12 or so types at least I guess

[tired sleet]

Psychic weak is deoxys 1/5 gonna make it

[dark osprey]

Oh yeah

[tired sleet]

Grass I got celebi but the weather thing

I dunno what to deal with that

Is either sun or rain

[dark osprey]

I think you can plug in anyone along with Groudon

[tired sleet]

Groudon is 3/5

If it changes things

[dark osprey]

Great. For hard CS, I'm sure solar beams and celebi flinch locking is more than enough

So can put in a weird type

Like fairy or something

[tired sleet]

Huh no water weak this whole cs

Week 4 my bad

[tired sleet]

Normal then

[dark osprey]

Ah yeah lol. Keep forgetting about that

[eternal lodge]

will this be enough for last week's aaron

[dark osprey]

Lol. Is this for a solo?

Am curious to see as well

[swift swan]

even the usual N/Hilbert/Volkner team can do electric aaron

[zealous karma]

I’d watch out for Aaron’s sentry entry x2 might want ash or smth

[swift swan]

so I think SST Red should be fine

[zealous karma]

Isn’t it really difficult pre 5/5

[swift swan]

it was, but still possible

[zealous karma]

💀

[swift swan]

postsync though

but this is sst red we're talking about

[zealous karma]

Post sync my hatred

[eternal lodge]

i did electric weak phoebe on a special dmg reduction round with 1/5 non ex ny volkner so i believe it should work with sst red on aaron

[zealous karma]

Electric Phoebe didn’t have any entry skills I thought

[eternal lodge]

tho if it doesnt work, i can always rely on a normal team, or my favourite team with rotom, redkachu and deoxys

[toxic cobalt]

Aaron hits really weakly iirc so post syncs are easier than normal

[zealous karma]

I remembering clearing it with hau

[zealous karma]

Tell that to my hau that had to do everything to not get one shot by his sync

[swift swan]

special damage reduction is different from the x2 entry

[zealous karma]

Correct

[swift swan]

special damage reduction just means there's a shield that reduces damage from special attacks, but it's easily ignored by crits

[zealous karma]

Special damage reduction param also is a shield just like the parameter which is ignored by crits

[swift swan]

x2 entry means the base stat is doubled (sentry entry x2 is doubled defense, wise entry x2 is doubled special defense). nothing can ignore this

[zealous karma]

When do we get an electric week stage with permanent crit shields on entry vigilance null interference and healthy advantage 5

[tired sleet]

[eternal lodge]

even if it is, even if he survives solo redkachu, i dont think hell survive 1 support sync + 2 3/5 redkachu syncs + max move

[swift swan]

really? I remember that attack order hurt quite a bit. maybe it was my params

[zealous karma]

Same

[eternal lodge]

and if that somehow happens i guess ill just go ash

[swift swan]

same

[zealous karma]

SSTRed hits very hard

But Aaron also has a lot of hp

[toxic cobalt]

The attack order did but the sync didn’t iirc

[swift swan]

probably just flinchlock the stage with red's staggering

[zealous karma]

My PSerena was able to clear cynthia fairy week despite wise entry but at the same time I was omega carried by the round parameter -6 SpDef and Cynthia has like 10K less Jo than Aaron

[swift swan]

if nuking doesn't work

[zealous karma]

His sync one shot my hau

Angry ambiguous creature

I had to 5* my hau and replace Sabrina with hop

[swift swan]

smh players these days. back in my day we didn't have a pair of Zeus rats to sweep stages. I had to rely on its Alolan evolution

[zealous karma]

So true

[swift swan]

well that's your mistake, not 5*ing Hau

[eternal lodge]

i see flinches and sleep as cheating so ill try to beat it through raw power

[zealous karma]

Oh wait it’s reset when did that happen

Me using Serena is cheating (:

[swift swan]

ss cyrus is a cheat button and I love it

[zealous karma]

I like cheating

[swift swan]

<doesn't have ss cyrus

[eternal lodge]

i use cyrus, but i usually dont change parameters and i always use n ostatus condition, may be wated potential, but it still works

[zealous karma]

Sstred should be fine I imagine but also expect some difficulty

Who do you nuke with then?

[eternal lodge]

cyrus

still does dmg

[zealous karma]

Whenever a tech doesn’t have their innate active I feel they hit for a 1/4 of their normal damage

Oh that’s not his innate

Moyai

Ig if it’s a 1/5 Cyrus should be fine 🦦

[eternal lodge]

i simply rather not selep, only situation where i sleep/flinch is when im doing challenge runs with bigger score and cant get through a battle with anything else

[zealous karma]

Wth Cyrus only has sleep DPS multipliers and not sync

Extra moyai

Dena

I just do whatever I find fun lel if it’s a part of the game I don’t call it cheating

For example with SSLyra you basically lose all her utility if you are not using grassy glide in which you’re pretty much forced to flinch every time

[eternal lodge]

it is, i just prefer fighting something that could fight back

[swift swan]

it's just a unit's gimmick, what can you do

[eternal lodge]

i can restric myself by not using that gimmick B)

[swift swan]

ss lyra in shambles

[zealous karma]

Rip SSLyra

Has to span tms for 6 whole turns

[eternal lodge]

i dont have sslyra so tahts not a problem for me

[zealous karma]

Agony

[swift swan]

what happens when you run out of TMs

[zealous karma]

You cry

[swift swan]

fish for grassy terrain mprs

[zealous karma]

I like crying it’s very fun

I lose after one attempt

Immediately start crying

[toxic cobalt]

Man I would cry so much

[zealous karma]

lel

[swift swan]

me when I started doing MM

felt like anxiety

[zealous karma]

My first MM 2K

Felt like pain

[swift swan]

now I want that hyper offensive presync dopamine

man what has happened to me

[zealous karma]

I remembering being so confused as to why my Faitlin got one shot

By everythint

(It was because I had max poh and max Atk boostin params)

[swift swan]

when I first did MM I hadn't joined this server and didn't know which params were good for me so I just threw everything at the wall and see what sticks

[zealous karma]

I only chose HP params

For 1.5K

I don’t know how I did it because I was also pre syncing

[swift swan]

strength used to scare me because I thought it was a HUGE jump in power lmao

[zealous karma]

Same lel

Nkw I only use strength 12

3K is so fun

I wonder if I can 15K this week

Should be very free

Since there’s no fast sync

Idk why I’m very surprised Victor made this Steve feel like a cakewalk despite 3K

[swift swan]

[zealous karma]

That’s 3K right?

[swift swan]

isn't that... 3.5k

[zealous karma]

Oh great

Wow how did I just look at my spark supports and thought Sabrina is my best one for gauge right…?

I know SSKris is a good one for gauge but it makes me sad

So I need sonia for round 3 and round 4 idk how I’m going to mama he to duplicate the same kit on a unit

6K off type in 3K is pretty absurd wow diantha

Doable but hard

Why did no one tell me Ghetsus had DPS

10K aoe is wow

[swift swan]

Ghetsis has always had DPS

[zealous karma]

I did it

Now I’m struggling in water

[onyx osprey]

2k mm is easier than i thought

you guys opened my eyes

[main trellis]

yea it's not too bad

for f2p players it could prove to be a bit challenging depending on the type weaknesses

but honestly for the most part it's chill

[main trellis]

ghetsis has always been a DPS centered unit

[boreal rose]

Ice weak Agatha sucks

[main trellis]

even after his power boost from Unova VA, his EX sync nuke is lowkey cheeks

[boreal rose]

You cabt change my mind

[main trellis]

sucks in what way?

like it's just hard to beat?

[boreal rose]

Wdym?

Yeah

[main trellis]

it's more of the fact that Ice is the worst non-Normal type in the game rn

[boreal rose]

I've been trying to beat it all week

[main trellis]

maybe I can help

are u aiming for 2k?

[boreal rose]

Yeah

I have only used Dojo Gloria, Swimsuit Misty and Swampert May

[main trellis]

do u have SST Red by any chance

bc u could just ET overload and offtype

[boreal rose]

ET?

[main trellis]

electric terrain

for this week I offtyped Agatha bc Ice is a rly weak type in this game

[toxic cobalt]

Didn't someone already suggest teams

[boreal rose]

Wdym?

[main trellis]

oh i didn't know, mb

[toxic cobalt]

No not your bad

Clearly worth another try! Go ahead if you have some ideas I'm a bit busy

[main trellis]

u could either offtype or build a team centered around Summer Steven

he's not the best but he'll do

Summer Steven, Ghetsis, and maybe Sonia to max out Atk and provide potions

And just try standard parameters + whatever u need to switch around

[boreal rose]

Ok

[main trellis]

and if summer steven isn't working for u, maybe consider switching to hala assuming u invest some resources into upgrading him

[boreal rose]

I cant do it

Hala is lvl 1

Il try Psychic off type

I give up

[swift swan]

what happened

[boreal rose]

I died

And i easily rage

[swift swan]

What team did you use for offtyping?

[boreal rose]

Finally

[boreal rose]

AnniMay, Giovanni, Sonia

Now i used a different one

My game quit

And i think i have to do it again

I FICJCDUXNTHG I CO CI FE

I dont care anymore

[boreal rose]

If i hear a person call Kanto CS easy im gonna go ballistic

[trail smelt]

It is

[main crow]

Just wait until next week CS starts

[swift swan]

it's the easiest if you compare it to the other regions. most would call it easy

[toxic cobalt]

Let’s not go on about it

[boreal rose]

I hope all of your pillow sides are hot

[boreal rose]

Dont have to

Wont be playing the game by then

[trail smelt]

What’s a pillow sides?

[boreal rose]

Yk

[dusty path]

I mean... yeah...
I have been playing a couple years, but Kanto is easy compared to most of the others

[keen jasper]

At least we're gonna have a challenge this month

[old orchid]

Looking forward to next week time to bully the Sinnoh E4

[dusty path]

Getting my revenge from last time, will be nice

[boreal rose]

See?

Couple years

I have played after my break for idk. Half a year

Also i have almost no knowledge on team building

[toxic cobalt]

Hi Apple it is clear you are frustrated, but this is not a good place to vent.

We have a few resources on teambuilding and on battle tactics you can look at

There is also the victory road tutorial in gam

[boreal rose]

I have played it

I beat the whole game lmao

[toxic cobalt]

Can be useful to refresh

[boreal rose]

How will it help nr build teams tho?

It gives you 3 characters and then like "change tactics" that's it

Is Lorelei physical

[mellow linden]

Iirc Lorelei uses a mixture of both physical and special with a slight lean towards special

[boreal rose]

Oh

Woukd sabrina work?

[mellow linden]

Could be wrong about the slight lean towards special though

[boreal rose]

4/5 non ex

[mellow linden]

What team would you be using?

[boreal rose]

AnniMay, Giovanni, Sabrina

[mellow linden]

Against Lorelei? Are you missing Grass Strikers/Techs or something?

[boreal rose]

Yes

And SSErika cabt do it

And im saving SSMorty for Blue

[mellow linden]

She should be able to with Support EX at most

[boreal rose]

I dont have a good EX support there

Cuz im saving Skyla for Lance

[old orchid]

Hop SS Erika and a leer bot can clear Lorelei

[mellow linden]

Honestly, probably this ^

Alternatively use Skyla for Lorelei instead of Lance. I can say from experience that EX Support isn’t necessarily needed (I ran Hop + EX Steven + Rachel) and Skyla is weak to Rock anyways

[boreal rose]

They died

[boreal rose]

Why?

Oh i didnt say my team

My bad

Im planning on using Gloria for Lance

Tha OG Gloria

[mellow linden]

So you could try Hop + Gloria + Marley for Lance and run Skyla on your team for Lorelei alongside SS Erika + a 3rd

Only thing Steven has over Gloria is flinches

[mellow linden]

And they’re not really needed

[boreal rose]

This is why

[boreal rose]

Steven?

[mellow linden]

Could also just use K. Grimsley

[boreal rose]

[mellow linden]

I use Steven for Steel weak Lance, I was just saying that Gloria should work just as well

But anyways, K. Grimsley would be a good pick

Even without Metal Burst shenaniganery

Also, are you using pre-Sync parameters?

[boreal rose]

Yep

Also. Gloria cannot do it

Even at r3

[mellow linden]

So I’d bet that’s a big reason why you’re having issues. You’re not KOing before Sync but using parameters that require KOing before Sync

[boreal rose]

Obv

Cuz my charakters suck

[mellow linden]

They don’t but ok

[boreal rose]

On post sync they die to 3 hits

[mellow linden]

Sounds more like an issue of move RNG on that one. Sometimes the AI just decides to pull out all its strongest moves immediately

Usually I just start the fight over if that happens

[boreal rose]

Ok

But ik i will die quickly no matter the move

[mellow linden]

If you’re going to assume you’ll lose before even trying then there’s nothing I can do to help you

[cosmic vortex]

Hope i can clear Lucian next week with Sshilbert and Lusamine

[mellow linden]

He’s got Wise Entry and Sp. Atk. debuffs, so idk

I plan to just off-type him with SS Korrina + SSR Cynthia

[cosmic vortex]

Oh i got those as well but my SsKorrina only 1/5

[mellow linden]

With SSR Cynthia even 1/5 SS Korrina might work, but I make no guarantees on that

[boreal rose]

Next CS had bug weak? Thank god im missing it

[trail smelt]

Oh right I need to slap on the fire gear on my team

[dark osprey]

I remember Guzma and lunge lusamine got through Lucian with an EX support.

[toxic cobalt]

Double striker power

[boreal rose]

Thank god i dotn have them

[mellow linden]

I remember going through the RNG Hell that is Poison stalling, which is why I’m glad to be getting revenge with SS Korrina + SSR Cynthia

[boreal rose]

I wont rage THAT much

[toxic cobalt]

Smdh poison stalling eliminates rng

[boreal rose]

Not really

There is still if the enemy misses or no

[trail smelt]

Well there’s RNG when I use SS Leaf lol

Sometimes she just doesn’t wanna AoE Toxic the enemy

[dark osprey]

I remember even the poison stalling did need some tweaks like Aaron would actually be better with gradual healing on

[toxic cobalt]

Been so long since I’ve seen someone SSL Solo

[mellow linden]

Not against Lucian and his crits. I couldn’t get Vigilance on everyone at the time

[toxic cobalt]

I usually stall with gradual healing nowadays. Don’t want to deal with the extra strength.

Eh just let them die

Depends on the tank of course

You can build rng poison teams

[mellow linden]

At the time it was usually:

Potions run out -> tank dies -> crits kill the rest

But now there’s no need for me to worry about that

It certainly didn’t help that I was still somewhat new to actually doing 10k when Sinnoh CS initially dropped

[boreal rose]

Would 1500 be easier?

And would the difference be big?

I mean Lorelei

[mellow linden]

Definitely easier, idk by how much though

[toxic cobalt]

Apple you have 20 EX units, I would focus less on the parameters and more on practicing triple queuing.

[boreal rose]

I triple queue

I cant quadqueue

I can

But i fail

Ai is fast

I beat it now tho

[keen jasper]

Quad queue only requires timing to your taps

[boreal rose]

And AI to be slow

[keen jasper]

Not really

[boreal rose]

Yes really

Ik cuz it uses a move and i cant quadququw

[keen jasper]

Unless it is ruined by a field wearing off during your sync or a counter ability activates, quad queue is still no matter how fast the AI is

[boreal rose]

No

I click sync, ch2 move, ch3 move and then opponent clicks a move

How to quadqueue then?

[keen jasper]

Just practice quad queueing

[boreal rose]

Without killing the character attacking ofc

[boreal rose]

That has nothing to do with it

[keen jasper]

If you're having a hard time doing this thing, then just practice

[boreal rose]

ARE YOH BLIND?

Im saying that i click the moves

And then the enemy clickz

[mellow linden]

Sounds like either a field effect wearing off or a passive triggering screwed up the quadqueue

[keen jasper]

That's exactly what I said

[boreal rose]

How am i supposed to hit quadququr then?

Its:
Click sync → move ch2 → move ch3 → enemy clicks ove

[mellow linden]

Better field effect management and keeping an eye on your Supports’ passives so you know whether they can act as tank or not

[boreal rose]

I dont even get to sync

I just get to click the sync

[keen jasper]

You need to know your units' abilities

[boreal rose]

Im gonna assume you are blind cuz im saying why its sometimes impossible to quadqueue

[mellow linden]

We’re saying why it’s sometimes impossible to quadqueue

[keen jasper]

Yeah exactly

[mellow linden]

Pay attention to your tank’s passives, some of them will screw up quadqueue if they trigger

[keen jasper]

Counter abilities like Team Triage Tank, Team Shout or Freevenge can sabotage your sync countdown unless your tank has Adrenaline

[boreal rose]

[mellow linden]

In the event that quadqueue is impossible under the circumstances (be it because of a field effect cast by a round parameter or a Support’s passive), do post-Sync parameters or bring Sync acceleration

[boreal rose]

That HAS NOTHING to dod with what im saying

[mellow linden]

It does

[boreal rose]

No

It does not

[keen jasper]

Then show us footage of what you mean then

[boreal rose]

Its:
Click sync → move ch2 → move ch3 → enemy clicks ove

[swift swan]

1. A field effect disappearing right before sync (move gauge acceleration, weather, zone, terrain)
2. Your tank's passive activating when you've already queued a sync

[mellow linden]

We literally have said that those passives will allow for the opponent to queue a move before your Sync goes off

[boreal rose]

Character doesnt even sync

[boreal rose]

None happens

[toxic cobalt]

Yes Cobalt has explained this

[boreal rose]

None of the moves even are used

[swift swan]

yes, and Cobalt and NightCaster are explaining WHY your enemy can click a move

[boreal rose]

But it has nothing to do with what im saying 😭

[keen jasper]

If you want us to understand what you mean, then bring us footage as proof

[swift swan]

why don't you try recording your run so we can see what exactly triggers the enemy using a move

[mellow linden]

Then record footage and prove us wrong

[boreal rose]

Id have to reset then

[swift swan]

you asked why you sometimes couldn't quadqueue. and you know it's because the enemy uses a move. they're explaining why.

[toxic cobalt]

You don’t need to quadqueue to win anyway. You have super powerful units. Triple queue with DPS will whittle them down to nothing.

[swift swan]

do we have a damage reduction on start parameter this week? can't really remember

[boreal rose]

I stopped exactly when i cant quadqurue

[swift swan]

I see there's a physical damage reduction shield disappearing right before Skyla's sync

that's why your quadqueue fails

is that round 4

[keen jasper]

The field wore off when Skyla synced

[boreal rose]

Yee

[swift swan]

also, that team gets NO crit

[boreal rose]

It also was like that with Lorelei

There was nothing like that theb

[boreal rose]

Ok

[swift swan]

what round was lorelei

and what units did you use

[boreal rose]

3

[swift swan]

it may have been because of a weather you set

[boreal rose]

SSErika

Sycamore

And Lillie

[swift swan]

did you click sycamore's TM first turn?

[boreal rose]

Yes

[swift swan]

that explains it

[boreal rose]

Nope

[swift swan]

Sycamore gives move gauge acceleration

[boreal rose]

Cuz it was after it ended

[swift swan]

which will wear off RIGHT before sync

[boreal rose]

Not when i had it

[swift swan]

that's the same effect that happened here, preventing you to quadqueue

if you want to set up weather/zone/terrain/move gauge accel on the first cycle, click it third. so Sycamore moves last in your queue

[swift swan]

this, however, is an innate field effect due to the stage param. you can't really control it

[mellow linden]

Yeah, it’s field effects wearing off for both those cases

Also, you don’t need Solgaleo if you’re using Gloria

[keen jasper]

You also don't have a crit buffer too on your team

[swift swan]

is hop still available? both hop and gloria like it when the enemy gets to sync anyway. plus your team will be getting crit that way

[boreal rose]

Is 17k (hitting blue) normal for 2k blue?@swift swan

With Silver

[mellow linden]

What, on Sync?

[boreal rose]

Wdym on sync?

[mellow linden]

As in, is that the damage of the Sync move or a regular move?

[boreal rose]

Regular

[mellow linden]

17k is kinda great then

[boreal rose]

Ok umm

Blue is a pushover

Hardest Kanto E4 for a easy champ

Wtf

[mellow linden]

Kanto CS in general is pretty easy as CS regions go

[boreal rose]

No

Do not

Call cs

Easy

When talking to me

[swift swan]

champion is generally the easiest

[boreal rose]

No matter which CS ir is

[swift swan]

I rarely recall a hard time beating a champion in CS

[boreal rose]

You are good at the game probably

Im not

[mellow linden]

Master Mode is moderately challenging in general, but Kanto was the 1st CS region and so hasn't stood the test of time and powercreep

[swift swan]

you'll get better with practice

[mellow linden]

So as Master Mode goes, Kanto CS is pretty easy

[boreal rose]

Pfffr

[swift swan]

I mean I never imagined being able to do 10k on any CS when I first started

[boreal rose]

Nice joke

[mellow linden]

You just have to be willing to put in the effort

[mellow linden]

And this implies that you are not willing

[swift swan]

you just need to get used to the trial and error, experiment with teams and params that suit you

[boreal rose]

I am

Its just that i suck

[swift swan]

yeah well diagnosing yourself with skill issue isn't going to help the problem

[mellow linden]

Everyone sucked at some point. It's a choice whether you continue sucking or begin moving upwards to at least "somewhat competent"

[swift swan]

and you'll end up being frustrated

take your time, small steps, and if you feel like something's not working, ask what's wrong. like that fourth round with Lance, the quadqueue failing is not your fault at all

[boreal rose]

Except i suck at everything

[mellow linden]

That attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy

[boreal rose]

Self what?

[mellow linden]

It means by retaining the mindset of "I suck at everything" then on some level (be it knowingly or unknowingly) you won't actually make a true effort to improve

And thus you will suck at everything

[boreal rose]

Retaining?

[mellow linden]

So instead of holding the mindset of "I suck at everything" at least try "I suck at this now, so what can I do and learn to not suck?"

[mellow linden]

Keeping, holding, not changing from

[boreal rose]

Oh

When i try to change i suck at it

Soo

[mellow linden]

I very much doubt that you actually suck at making a change if you actually put the effort in. Like I said before, if you keep the negative mindset then on some level you won't truly make the effort to improve. You may not even be aware of it

[boreal rose]

Nah

I tried multiple times

And i failed at it

No matter what it was

[mellow linden]

But tbh that's well outside the scope of this channel and even this server, so I'll just cap it off with this: Start with the mindset of "it's possible to improve" and don't let failure discourage you (failure is just as much a part of improvement as success is).

If you just assume you'll fail before you even try then no amount of advice will help

[boreal rose]

Ok

Idk if i will be able to

But ok

[ivory pagoda]

I mean what have you tried

like i couldnt beat cobalion a month ago

[boreal rose]

In game?

[ivory pagoda]

Decided ill try later

[boreal rose]

Beating Kanto CS

Irl?

It would be a list

[ivory pagoda]

mastermode?

i dont have it unlocked

[boreal rose]

Yes

[ivory pagoda]

cant say anything then

No idea how hard it is

Barely beat regular league myself

[dusty path]

Paralysis is best status for Cobalion, but never mind that here

[ivory pagoda]

Yeah i beat it last night

[dusty path]

Nicely done

[ivory pagoda]

i forgot with what

i just decided ill do it again and i had an easier time

¯_(ツ)_/¯

anyway im off topic

[spring fable]

I am so not ready for next week

[mellow linden]

Fortunately next week for you is only Hard Mode, so you can get used to how Sinnoh CS operates

And tbh what IMO are 2 of the hardest Sinnoh CS stages are next week, so only doing Hard Mode is actually really nice

[spring fable]

Delaying the pain

[boreal rose]

For me hardest will be Bug

No matter if HM or MM

Posion?

Eh

Maybe

Idk

[swift swan]

take it easy! it's normal to feel overwhelmed because of the difficulty jump

poison is always stallable

[boreal rose]

Yeah

I say maybe cuz of Iris

[swift swan]

no poison-weak stage has ever been non-stallable so far

[boreal rose]

Imagine

[dusty path]

@boreal rose Sorry I'm late to the party and this will probably be my only contribution 😅
There is always things to learn. Personally, I've made it to the legendary gauntlet stage of learning, and there's still heaps I'm learning about different units. You have to just be willing to accept that most of the time when you start something with no previous experience, you won't have basic to intermediate skills, and you'll probably suck. But if you are willing to try, celebrating after success or learning from failure for your next attempt, you will get better. That's what we all just have to do. It gets harder but you can push through.

[boreal rose]

Poison weak but immune to poison as in the umm

Not type but the yk

[dusty path]

Status effect?

[boreal rose]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Some are even designed almost specifically for Poison stall! Looking at you Poison weak Wallace

[boreal rose]

Imagine doing MM Hoenn CS

[mellow linden]

Don't need to imagine it, I did it

IMO not as bad as Sinnoh with the exception of Steel weak Glacia and maybe Bug weak Sidney

[boreal rose]

Bug weaks are always hard imo

Until SSHilbert

But idk

[mellow linden]

I think it was Bug weak Sidney that just had ludicrous damage, at least

[boreal rose]

Dont plan on pulling

[dusty path]

I think I've managed to do MM every region so far... Don't remember much about them tho 😅

[boreal rose]

I mewn

I want to pull

But

Part 2 UnoVA

[toxic cobalt]

There are only 3 very reliable but strikers (all Unova )

[spring fable]

Which

[dusty path]

You want Colress or N? Or Hugh?

[toxic cobalt]

Alder train bro and SS Hilbert

[dusty path]

Burgh too, still Unova tho 😂

[spring fable]

Oh

[mellow linden]

Alder, SC Emmett, and I guess SS Hilbert (though he's a Tech and not a Striker in terms of the in-game category)

[boreal rose]

Wdym

[spring fable]

Bug strikers

[dusty path]

Burgh carried the Rosa part 2 extreme battle, quite the capable bug striker

[mellow linden]

I wouldn't necessarily call the other options "unreliable", but those 3 are on a bit of a higher overall power level compared to the others

[spring fable]

Is the channel too busy for me to ask for help for next week?

[toxic cobalt]

I use other options, but I needed a term for the click and win units

[mellow linden]

Not really

[spring fable]

Brb drafting teams

[mellow linden]

Though I will say you probably don't need to worry that much about next week since for you it's Hard Mode and Hard Mode has never been that restrictive

[boreal rose]

None

[mellow linden]

Other than "don't use special against Lucian" next week, I guess

[spring fable]

Do I get gems for unlocking MM

[boreal rose]

Maybe Unova MF

If there will be

[mellow linden]

I wish, that'd be awesome

[boreal rose]

Same

Even 50 would be cool

[dusty path]

Ah okay, saving for that possibility. Good choice

[spring fable]

Incentivises players to get all the typing for that region

[boreal rose]

well im not saving rn cuz of Faitlin but i probably wotn gef her

[spring fable]

It’s required to unlock mm anyway

[boreal rose]

I mean

Kinda

Idk

Yo do get 25 Champ Spirits from CS normally

Which isnt a lot but its something

[mellow linden]

It's halfway to an EX

That's significant in the long run

[dusty path]

And you can get up to 50 from MM, on top of the (I think) 40 from CS itself

[mellow linden]

I wanna say it's only 40 from Hard Mode

Right as I said it, lol

[old orchid]

Hard CS only gives 40 per week

[dusty path]

Ah right, 8 each one, huh?

[mellow linden]

Yep

[swift swan]

THIS. I was shit at legendary gauntlet when it first dropped but last gauntlet I reached 36 streaks (and my highest streak increased every season too). you'll improve in time so long as you're putting the mind to it

[spring fable]

because i'll be starting from hard mode,
fire weak Aaron - 1/5 victini
grass weak Bertha - 3/5 lycanroc
psychic weak Flint - 5/5 mewtwo (no EX no Mega)
bug weak Lucian - 1/5 genesect
poison weak Cynthia - 1/5 croagunk
are these strikers good enough to carry? then i'll slot the remaining 13 types in

[swift swan]

it'll be busy for sinnoh for sure, but there's always people willing to help here

feel free to ping me if you need help

[swift swan]

Braindead Button Bash

[boreal rose]

I reached 2

[spring fable]

[swift swan]

Lycanroc? to take advantage of Bertha's sand? that's a double edged sword move

Bertha is like Moltres. you take away their innate weather and they lose 90% of their power

[mellow linden]

For Hard Mode it should be fine, but I do question Olivia somewhat

[spring fable]

ah

[swift swan]

Croagunk is uh.... hmm

I suppose for hard mode it's fine

[mellow linden]

Looker's fine for on-type

[spring fable]

its to fill type + its poison type

[swift swan]

take a look at the pins and pay attention to their gimmicks

for poison I would much recommend stalling than 1/5 Croagunk but that's just me

[spring fable]

hmm

for bertha, how to "change" the environment?

sure i can cast sun /rain

[mellow linden]

Use a different weather setter or use Defog

[swift swan]

this is the best way

[dusty path]

You just need another weather, yeah

[swift swan]

Defog doesn't get rid of weather from what I know

[mellow linden]

Oh, does it not?

My bad then

So only a different weather setter

[swift swan]

yeah, quite sad

[mellow linden]

Rain, Sun, Hail

[swift swan]

Sun is the best because a lot of grass strikers like sun

[dusty path]

Yeah defog doesn't work on weather :{

Entire terrain and zone, plus opponents field effects (like light screen, reflect, gauge accel, etc.)

[spring fable]

eevee is normal type?

[mellow linden]

Yep

[spring fable]

uh i tried to include overlapping buffs

and unique typing

[mellow linden]

I'd recommend using a Support instead of Helena against Cynthia, personally

[boreal rose]

Yesh

Cuz she is a tech and she doesnt heal

Or isnt tanky

[mellow linden]

That works, you could do BP Morty as an alternative if you want to keep the Ghost type

[spring fable]

im missing ground, ghost and rock i think

[swift swan]

for Bertha, I strongly recommend a weather setter. maybe replace Hala with Candice? just for the hail

[mellow linden]

Ah, true

[spring fable]

ah i picked him because he's physical and is a 1 button buff

[swift swan]

Hmmm Falkner and Giovanni are good but Bea might eat up gauge. Her 6 TMs can only go so far. any other fighting types with lower gauge usage?

[spring fable]

wally?

[swift swan]

he's also very slow though, and dawn is already a turtle

[mellow linden]

Literally

Well, actually no, Torterra is a tortoise

[swift swan]

[swift swan]

hmmm should be okay

though his speed isn't that much better than Bea anyway

you end up not using ghost right? how about putting Helena there. she has nice speed and a 1 gauge move

You can delay fighting for the week after that

[boreal rose]

Well actually Torterra is a pokemon

🤓

[swift swan]

if you want to deal damage against Lucian, you need to use physical attack since he has Wise Entry x2 which doubles the base stat of his special defense. not saying you can't bruteforce with special (I beat Lucian with special moves lmao), but just be ready for a pretty long battle

[boreal rose]

(yes i just 🤓'd myself)

[swift swan]

the cynthia team looks good. just make sure you land a poison on cynthia

[spring fable]

i did some reordering, how this look?

falkner can buff atk and speed and crit for torterra

while cutting cyrus own hp i can try landing poison

ash is special and self sufficient

[swift swan]

Lucian wants physical

though I'm sure Ash can bruteforce it just fine lol

[spring fable]

oh im dumb

[swift swan]

it'll just take a while

[spring fable]

he's only 1/5

[swift swan]

it's hard mode after all

[spring fable]

i'll see what i have

[swift swan]

that Cynthia team has me worried. none of them is remarkably fast in my opinion

and if you're offtyping with Cyrus, having rain really helps

[toxic cobalt]

I don’t have looker, does he need buffs?

Can replace Cyrus with Marley for speed and burn heal

[cinder summit]

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[swift swan]

Whooo I love using the bot

crit-wise, he's self sufficient (the usual dire hit+)

[spring fable]

do i want physical or special against bertha?

[swift swan]

but he only buffs his own attack by 4

[toxic cobalt]

Huh I can’t see that

[swift swan]

needs MPR for max

[toxic cobalt]

It’s user specific

4 sounds fine

[spring fable]

cant see what?

[swift swan]

both works

[toxic cobalt]

The moves on the bot message

[swift swan]

if I don't state any entries on pins, then both physical and special works equally fine

[spring fable]

ah yes

[swift swan]

ah, me neither

can't switch to moves for some reason

although it works in bot zone

[spring fable]

some more changes

missing Fighting, Ground and Bug

since there is ice weak the week after, im thinking of removing Candice for SSHilbert

i think i'll prolly be using kyurem for the week after

[boreal rose]

Are these good?

Hard Mode

Some are put there cuz.....yes

Cuz its Hard Mode

[swift swan]

Lucian stage is mostly special so I think it's better to make Sycamore first target. remember to use horn leech over moonblast

looks okay to me. Roxanne might crumble quickly against Flint and there's a very high chance you'll get burned though...

[boreal rose]

I have no speed buffers

That arent repeats

[swift swan]

so if the burn ever bothers you later on, you can consider switching Sycamore to Flint team and grid for his Healing Hand. then just get a sp defense buffer for Lucian. but the team as it is is still worth a try

[swift swan]

Guzma team might have gauge issues

[boreal rose]

I have no idea who to put there

[swift swan]

maybe move Nita to the anni may team since May gets free gauge under terrain anyway, plus she's quite self sufficient

then Falkner can go to guzma

Lucian's very bulky though and guzma's DPS is bad. that battle's gonna drag out for quite a while

[boreal rose]

I have Lusamine

[swift swan]

she's paper thin

Idk if she can presync alone in hard mode. might be worth a try. but I'm not too confident

I doubt she can postsync though. ain't no way she's gonna survive first sync without +6 sp defense and maybe some sp attack debuffs

[spring fable]

ok will leave rock typing for the week after

torterra or decidueye 🤔

[swift swan]

what move level is decidueye

well to start off, they do different things

[spring fable]

idk they're just both physical dmg dealers

better go with torterra, since she has the full heal

just in case

[swift swan]

That team will have way too much healing lol

sycamore's gradual heal, sidney's potion, dawn's TM

[spring fable]

decidueye has higher atk stats but much lesser def

[swift swan]

I do prefer torterra though. she gives more utility

[spring fable]

hmm

since sycamore buffs after sync, replace sydney with karen?

[swift swan]

she's a striker after all. not meant to tank

[swift swan]

well the point of sidney there is to be a physical damage dealer, isn't it?

[spring fable]

indeed

dang these type limitations

[swift swan]

I imagine you sync with sycamore first, then the rest goes to Sidney

[swift swan]

don't be afraid to have one or two duplicate types if you're having trouble (but we'll see about this when you're actually doing the CS). 15 types against a region with a lot of gimmicks is rough

[spring fable]

okie!

worst case i'll reimburse the type week after

slow and steady

[swift swan]

I think the community collectively agrees Sinnoh is the hardest (and I'm willing to die on this hill) so no worries, take your time

the jump from kanto to sinnoh is cruel

[zealous karma]

Based

[wicked otter]

Wait seriously sinnoh will be that hard?

[mellow linden]

Sinnoh’s gimmicks are much more restrictive than Kanto’s

[wicked otter]

These 2 months cs seems okay, but if sinnoh would be that hard maybe i wont be able to hit 10k next month 🥲

[mellow linden]

I think you’ll be able to pull it off

[wicked otter]

Hopefully, i hope csmm wont be a headache again as it used to haha

[swift swan]

I wish I were overexaggerating

well, here's the thing: "hard" depends on the units you have

you have SC ingo or SC emmet? then bug-weak Lucian is dead easy. you have neither? then suffer

Sinnoh is "hard" because they have a lot of bulk and passives, but that's really not the worst part. it's because of their entries, gatekeeping a lot of units

if we ignore those entries, Hoenn actually has more bulk than Sinnoh and hits harder

[swift swan]

Kanto has gimmick?

[mellow linden]

Some, but usually just Attack or Sp. Atk. debuffs

[swift swan]

the only Kanto stage I find particularly challenging is fighting-weak lorelei

damn those evasion buffs

[zealous karma]

Sinnoh is an insane jump hit a fun one

They made psychic hard by giving everyone aoe with piercing gaze

So unless you buff SpDef Gio will cry

(:

[swift swan]

not if you kill them faster than they could kill you

me feeding myself dopamine from presync clears

the left has one heat wave before sync (that you can deny if you flinch them I guess)

the bad part is the sides spamming heat waves after mid is down

[wicked otter]

I will just use ssa cynth andoff type haha

I rarely clear csmm presync except with ash

The other almost always after sync

[zealous karma]

They also have double spatk

[zealous karma]

Off typing psychic is new psychic isn’t that bad tho I cleared it with Calem ignoring Calem has better bulk than Gio

[swift swan]

ssa cynthia is weak to fire though. but I guess for hard mode she should be fine

[wicked otter]

wait that hard stage is fire?

i thought psychic

well ill just use ssa cynthia on other stages with no fire

[zealous karma]

Psychic week Flint uses fire moves

Oh how I miss thee ❤️

Man imagine if Aaron had heal share in this fight 💀

[wicked otter]

god damn it

that means need to be 1 ohko

either i use wally or ash then

[zealous karma]

Gio can still clear the stage fine

Iirc I did a duo clear with him and Bianca

Against flint

[wicked otter]

which gio it is, mewtwo?

i dont have the gio ex though, i wonder

[zealous karma]

Mewtwo

I think aurochs might have a clear without ex’less Gio because they don’t Ex anyone

https://youtu.be/oyExhZB7IhM

Man I missed sinnoh CS it was very fun

[swift swan]

electric weak aaron comes back in a month tho

I miss the stress of seeing the heal order

[boreal rose]

Why

[zealous karma]

It was fun

[frosty axle]

we do have a lot more options now since the last Sinnoh CS

[zealous karma]

Very true

[wicked otter]

wait i dont get how sinnoh is way harder than prev CS

it seems quite the same

ive just watched the youtube video

and the one on the video use ex mewtwo but the mewtow only got 2 sp atk buff rip,

[frosty axle]

what makes it harder is more the health and the sentry/wise entry

[zealous karma]

That’s 3K right?

If it’s not 3K I’m going to cry

[zealous karma]

Man I need gauntlet RNG…

[meager agate]

you ever try to record a video of a battle you're easily able to beat normally

but the moment you start recording Hop goes on a 15-attempt MPR-less streak

[old orchid]

me who cant wait to use Helena on Ghost weak Lucian

Ghost weak Lucian has Wise Entry x2

[meager agate]

HOLY FUCK I GOT IT

my first full ice team ever in CS

even at 1.5k this was tough as hell to pull off

Melony has changed the game for me

[trail smelt]

What’s Melony’s role in a team?

[dusty path]

SpDef+crit buff, max resonance when you need, and sleep mostly

Safeguard to protect against status conditions, when you need it

[zealous karma]

If you watch my duo Cleara against unova I did not get a single Tm MPR

[wicked otter]

Ah i see, tru that sounds quite hard

[zealous karma]

Sinnoh tends to have at least 1.5x the amount of normal Hp lel

Like flying week Lucian has 62K Hp 🦑

[wicked otter]

62k......

That sounds hard 😭

[zealous karma]

Bluedgeot can post sync at least

[wicked otter]

Ill try off typing first, hopefully still doable

[zealous karma]

Bluedgeot had an easy time for me in that stage but a week later ssethan came out so lel

[wicked otter]

Yea i mean there are ash sstred zerena sssteven and victini now

[zealous karma]

I did recorded a clear for people who didn’t have him

[wicked otter]

Which are bonker

[zealous karma]

Zerena was out when sinnoh cs came out

[wicked otter]

Ah i see, wonder if zerena can off type there

[zealous karma]

And silver had just gotten his power boost

[wicked otter]

I guess doable with the help of sp debuff lucian

[zealous karma]

Zerena can off type at 5/5 so she should be fine

[wicked otter]

Rip my silver still useless, no power boost

[wicked otter]

Mine only 2/5 🥲

[zealous karma]

Should be fine regardless

Im a whale with a 5/5 Zerena so lel

[wicked otter]

Damn haha

[zealous karma]

<- not an actual whale

Im F2P

[wicked otter]

If it is too hard maybe ill consider getting zerena and victini to 3/5

[zealous karma]

Silver is very epic

[wicked otter]

Got 3 strike candies anyways

[zealous karma]

Since silver is already very good for fire I think Zerena would be the better option personally

[wicked otter]

I know, he is insane with the power boost, rip i dont have him

[zealous karma]

I expect it to rerun next month

Or January

[wicked otter]

Really next month? I wish though, i need his power up

Another off type unit haha

[zealous karma]

Silver works pre expanded but I’m not going to lie to you and say he’s easy to use pre expanded he’s very difficult to use in fact

Supporting him is difficult if you don’t have SSMorty

Might even want to bring elio

[wicked otter]

Yea need to use extra slot for buffer

I have ss morty but still 2/5

Almost can get support candy, just 4 more coins rip

[zealous karma]

Morty works to support him at 1/5 🦦

[wicked otter]

Eh really? I thought at least need 3/5 for the full def dan sp def

[zealous karma]

Ig you have an ex l ye s she’s perfect for pre expanded silver

He doesn’t need that

I have a 3/5 Morty

He works the exact same as he did at 2/5

[wicked otter]

Haha okay, i guess ss morty 2/5 is enough

You don't use the def and sp def grid?

Atm i use ss morty eith victini in csmm but prefer silver

As victini can easily paired with other sync

[zealous karma]

Vitcini sure is the unit

[swift swan]

Kinda late to this but:

1. Sinnoh has a lot of x2 Entries, which doubles the base stat of either physical or special defense, restricting a lot of your options
2. They have a shit ton of passives that you need to counter. Some of these passives reduce the damage taken if you don't do certain things. Some make them hit way harder
3. A lot of the stages have bulky HP
4. Some stages have higher-than-normal offensive stats

imo it's the abundance of entries that make Sinnoh the most difficult

videos make it look like a breeze because you're just watching someone clear it. I think experiencing it hands-on will give a clearer idea

[iron oar]

Is it better to just clear the 5 for rewards then try for high points or to just go for high points?

[keen jasper]

And also, electric-weak Aaron has Heal Order before he synced

[toxic cobalt]

Either is fine. Do what feels most comfortable.

[tired sleet]

I mean if you go for points at first it saves time

[tired sleet]

I probably have made some questionable exs

[swift swan]

I wouldn't really question any of those, but anyway that's not meant for this channel

try #gacha-and-flex maybe

[full mesa]

Steelix is the only one that can be considered odd. The rest are ok. Especially if you use them.

[swift swan]

Steelix does gain mega stats after syncing so there's that

also she has recuperation on grid apparently

helped me quite a lot in gauntlet lol

[onyx ice]

Nolan is always an option

[swift swan]

yeah, at least noland and bugsy have grids now

I must admit I've never used them though

[onyx ice]

Nolan is really good

Expecially if you have 6ex (regular) Hilbert

[swift swan]

I happen to have that 👀 and looks like his gauge is good enough to dual strike or I could just bring a defense debuffer

[onyx ice]

Both are fine

Lunge lusamine works great

With regular (non 6ex) Hilbert you can run dual with busy and sync with bugsy

Nolan has a decent sync, but DPS goes to trash if you build for sync

Much better building for fury cutter and spam fury cutter only

[swift swan]

my plan is to run EX Hilbert/Lunge Lusamine/Guzma

last time I wasn't good enough for it lol

[trail smelt]

Oh right I guess should stop making monotype teams for Sinnoh haha

Especially for types without good support

[keen jasper]

Damn, Silver destroyed Blue before Blue could do his 1st sync at max HP, strength and defense parameters

[toxic cobalt]

Never give up,never surrender

[keen jasper]

What are your teams?

[dark osprey]

Nice. Maybe could just go with Noland instead of Alder

[dark osprey]

Or Nanu

Kukui

[swift swan]

I think natwaf wanted monotype teams

[dark osprey]

Oh yeah forgot
My bad

Noland it is I guess

With Aaron it would be easy to slot lusamine. Maybe don't have them

[dusty crater]

Ready for tomorrow

[trail smelt]

Why would I slot Lusamine for Aaron

[dark osprey]

I meant if you had Aaron, could use him instead of NY lilie

[trail smelt]

Oh then no I don’t have Aaron

[dark osprey]

Thought so. You can't ignore Aaron once you've got him

Bulk plus offensive buffing is top tier

[full mesa]

Tomorrow is Sinnoh...

[full mesa]

Why SSHilbert against wise entry x2 Lucian?

[swift swan]

I'm feeling the adrenaline rush oh boy

this channel's going to be flooded tomorrow, I can feel it

[keen jasper]

Sinnoh was my very first CS that I unlocked MM on, so yeah, gonna destroy it completely

Sinnoh was my 2nd 10k ever lol

I went from my first 10k in Kanto to Sinnoh which I stubbornly decided I would do 10k or bust, out of pride

[swift swan]

inb4 people start asking "why does my [insert special damage dealer here] not do damage against lucian"

[devout sluice]

Oh right, Sinnoh this reset. (Oh boy )

[dark osprey]

And you're all ready with the

[devout sluice]

I’m ready for flint to destroy me.

[dark osprey]

Lol yeah. Though flint does hit hard

But yeah. Just need to tank 2-3 moves at most

[swift swan]

Flint on paper looks the hardest because he hits hard, is bulky, and debuffs a lot

But I don't remember having trouble with him at all

Psychic is just so bloated lol

[dark osprey]

How does one guarantee ghetsis buffs+2 sp atk using the half HP paramaters? Remember that there was some team thing

[main crow]

Guuhh I know I'd be spending my time a lot tomorrow asking for folks for help to fit the required types left for MM

[spring fable]

^ me

[main crow]

I still have 8 types left I believe nvr i only have 4

It's possible to get MM on the first week but honestly it would depend on the remaining types

Hopefully there's some types I can cheese easily so I can slot some of the weaker types

[spring fable]

Does it always take two weeks to unlock MM?

[mellow linden]

If you haven’t made progress on the type medal/unlocked Master Mode already, yes

But if you were to start on the last week of a region and do 9 types, for example, then the next time that region rolled around you could finish the medal and unlock Master Mode week 1

funny Leech Life DPS

[zealous karma]

Bugsy and Noland can dual streaks where bugsy focuses on nuke while Noland focuses on fury cutter

It apparently works better than lusamine…

[austere quest]

I think I will be okay unlocking MM Week 2 but I lose out on Week 1 rewards which sort of sucks for someone who can do 10k easily

[zealous karma]

You never did sinnoh CS before?

[austere quest]

Wonder if there would be a way to quantify how much that sets me back especially when I need to EX Peeps

Apparently not

I have Unova, Kanto, and Hoeon

Don’t think I ever did Johto

I also just started on the end August though so that’s why
