[meager agate]

“oh look an earthquake”

[wicked pebble]

Okay, what's a good grass type here? And what sun setters would be good? Asking since I'm wanting to sort out teams and it might be I need two of the latter.

[mellow linden]

Did your roster not go through or something?

[wicked pebble]

I have SS Morty, if that helps with things.

But... well, I cant use him in two matches

[wicked pebble]

what do yo umean by roster though?

like, posting an image from tracker?

[mellow linden]

As in, screenshots of your roster, image from tracker, etc.

Hard to give advice about teambuilding for CS without knowing anything about your roster

[wicked pebble]

hang on

[mellow linden]

The Sun setters that exist are SS Erika (Sunny Day), Blaine (Sunny Day), SS Morty (Sunny Day), Maxie (entry passive), Silver (Sync passive), Lyra (Sync passive), and Gordie (Max Flare)

That's about all I can give for now

[wicked pebble]

Here?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, that’s good.

I see SS Lyra + SS Erika, you should be more than set for Grass weak Bertha, just need a tank

[wicked pebble]

I know, just wondering on sun, is the thing.

[mellow linden]

SS Erika handles Sun in that team

[wicked pebble]

ah.

so I don't need to worr yabout saving Morty for the fire team

[mellow linden]

You should be fine to use SS Morty elsewhere, yeah

[wicked pebble]

I can probably use something like SS Grimsley or Nessa/May for water. And while I'm not too big a fan of it still, I can go with ghestis for ice, he just got EX

[mellow linden]

Ghetsis, Hala + Candice, etc.

[wicked pebble]

And I have EX Steven.

Steel is NOT a problem.

[mellow linden]

Yep, he works just fine for Steel weak stages

Except Steel weak Glacia in Hoenn CS, I guess. Or maybe not even that, I’ve heard people cleared that with him

[trail smelt]

Honestly in an SS Erika + SS Lyra team I usually forego getting a support/tank and just add Brendan/SConia LMAO

[wicked pebble]

I'm guessing SS Red or Anni!N are more than enough for fire, especially with sun support?

[trail smelt]

If you mean SSMorty then yeah.

[wicked pebble]

who's a good partner for NEssa and May?

[trail smelt]

SSKris

[wicked pebble]

The one SS Johto pair I don't have. XD

list I have is up above if you wanna review

[mellow linden]

Could just do Hilbert, I guess

[storm moss]

Anyone able to help with MM?

[trail smelt]

Which one is causing you problems

[storm moss]

I don't do MM

So all 😅

[toxic cobalt]

Do you have a screenshot of your initial 5* pairs?

[storm moss]

Bare with

[zealous karma]

You have very good pairs

Very very good pairs wth

[storm moss]

I wanna 10k is possible

And thanks!

[zealous karma]

Water: Archie May SSKris
Grass: Brendan Skyla Eirika
Fire: SSRed SSMorty SSHilda
Ice: Ghetsus sycamore pryce
Steel: raihan i think I saw ingo lucian

[storm moss]

SS Hilda is about to be EXd if I can Clear 10k.
Then I'm gonna ex a ton of supports

[zealous karma]

You can 15K easily 💀

[storm moss]

What point thing am I putting in?

[zealous karma]

Pins

[storm moss]

Guessing the 2k pre sync?

[zealous karma]

Ye

[storm moss]

Sweet I'll give it a tryy

[zealous karma]

Could replace sycamore with Sabrina

[storm moss]

I don't have ingo?

Nuu I don't have him

[subtle forge]

:[

[storm moss]

I'll add leaf

Phew

I actually beat a MM on hard 😍

[zealous karma]

How easy was it?

[storm moss]

I've just reset completely

Blue was a pain as I'd used Morty

I beat him with SS Hilda, Blaine and Blue

Lancer I beat with Raihan, Leaf and Lucien

I'm just redoing it now.

Okay wow, SS erika, Morty and Kris dominated

Yea agetha is an issue

[old orchid]

Ghetsis time

[storm moss]

I'm using him....

But he's erm...

Yea who should. I pair him with cus nothings working against her 😭

[plucky pewter]

man i swear i just dont know how to use ghetsis xD

[trail smelt]

When I used him I used his paralysis synergy build

[wicked pebble]

Who are good partners for Ghestis?

[swift swan]

Sp atk and crit support + speed

[wicked pebble]

I'm going with a freeze strat, to note.

[swift swan]

unique choice but okay

[wicked pebble]

I mean, freeze on his grid.

[swift swan]

You really need speed support then to spam glaciate

[wicked pebble]

It's a suggested grid.

I mean... what ice move does he have other than Glaciate?

[storm moss]

His nuke 🤣

[swift swan]

[wicked pebble]

That's single target though.

And... slow.

Would Roxanne work?

[storm moss]

No

[swift swan]

I nuker with him this week. No EX. 40k after ex support sync

[storm moss]

I have syca but...

[swift swan]

My team was SS Kris/Skyla/Ghetsis. The idea is for ss kris to stack as many SMUN as possible before ghetsis unleashes a glaciate that will hopefully 2-shot the sides

Sycamore also works, then you just need a crit support

[wicked pebble]

Here's what I've got. No SS Kris.

Would have LIKED to get her too but...

[storm moss]

Howw tis?

Oh ahaha I just read above 🤣

[wicked pebble]

Why doesnt Roxanne work.

?

She gives speed and special attack.

[storm moss]

I've used her already

[swift swan]

Syca + crit support can work

[wicked pebble]

Why doesn't Roxanne work?

I'm still waiting on hearing why she apparently doesnt work when she applies both speed and special attack.

[plucky pewter]

kinda tempted to try SC Jasmine with ghetsis and syca

[wicked pebble]

I have Jasteela too.

[storm moss]

I'VE ALREADY USED HER

I said that

[wicked pebble]

I'm not talking about your run.

I'm talking about mine.

[storm moss]

Ohhh

The use her.

Nothing is working against her

[grand trout]

Oh boy

Sinnoh stadium

[plucky pewter]

im dumb and left lorelei and lance for 3rd/4th round and i dont even have experience properly using those types

[viral moat]

What coin do we get tomorrow

Need a tech coin

[plucky pewter]

welp got through lance but still failing on lorelei 😦

[viral moat]

What's the weakness again

[plucky pewter]

grass

[viral moat]

What units you using

[plucky pewter]

i've tried a few different teams with SSErika, SCRosa and Victor (Rosa and erika both 3/5, victor is 1/5), so i've alternated them as my dps with different supports but i havent had much success.
honestly think its coming down to me not using grass often and so i dont feel comfortable using them

have tried pre and post sync as well

just they get hit so damn hard and tend to die before i can kill lapras

[toxic cobalt]

Are you triple queueing and do you reach full buffs?

[viral moat]

Shouldnt be too hard with Victor and some supports

[plucky pewter]

triple queueing yes, i reached full buffs on my last attempt (SCRosa + Roxanne + SSMorty) wasnt able to take down lapras, this was also using sweet scent to lower their stats which was making rosa stronger

[viral moat]

I assumed 2k? Have you tried swapping out some of the handicaps

[plucky pewter]

yeah 2k, i've tried both post and pre sync as shown in the suggested, havent alternated any yet

i know i can beat her, i'm just doing something wrong

i've previously been off-typing grass weaks in CSMM so this is why i said before i dont feel comfortable using the typing

I AM ACTUALLY DUMB I DIDNT TAKE OFF THE NO STAT REDUCTION HANDICAP

FFS I KNEW I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG

Me: Yes i know how this unit works and i have read it
Also me: forgets to adjust the thing that prevents the unit from working at max potential xD
Ohh i love my stupidity

[trail smelt]

I’ve done that so many times with CIris teams LMAO

[plucky pewter]

ok that was much easier now that i wasn't an idiot. crisis averted, i give permission for people to ask if i changed handicaps anytime i say i am struggling because i am just an idiot lol

How to do round 4 for e4

How to do stage 4 for e4

[spring fable]

Who’s left

[swift swan]

which e4

[spring fable]

Morning Nov!!

[swift swan]

round 4 interrupts your quadqueue so that might be annoying

[spring fable]

[swift swan]

hi kirby!

good luck on Sinnoh later

[flint heart]

The ghost lady

The old lady with gol at

[void wyvern]

Agatha is my favourite ghost lady

[spring fable]

thanks I’ll need it

[flint heart]

Golbat

Agatha it is

[void wyvern]

You can do it!

[flint heart]

What’s a pkmn I can use to handle special atk

[void wyvern]

To lower or to raise?

[flint heart]

To deal wit Agatha

[swift swan]

sycamore, sabrina, roxanne, SS Elesa are some sp attack supports

Ghetsis can handle agatha

Ghetsis/Skyla/Sabrina or SS Elesa

or Ghetsis/Sycamore/crit support

[flint heart]

Ok I used skyla alrdy

[void wyvern]

Rachel works if you have her with crit support.

[swift swan]

basically pair ghetsis with units that can buff sp attack, crit, and speed. if one support can cover these 3 buffs then choose that, but you can always use two supports

[brazen fable]

Gonna booli the onix

Can’t touch my sharpedo at low hp

[plucky pewter]

welp got it done, now to spend the next few weeks unlocking sinnoh mm

[void wyvern]

You can do it!

[grand trout]

Should i use guzma or gladion for Lucian

[zealous karma]

That’s why I don’t run the param even if a unit can’t debuff I can’t risk it

[grand trout]

Nvm I'll try to use noland

[zealous karma]

If you do use gladion might want another strike if you ask one or the other the best answer might be both together

[grand trout]

What i hate about noland is that fury cutter resets when noland syncs

[zealous karma]

Sync with another unit

[grand trout]

B but

Mega pinsir 😦

Maybe I'll sync with him if lucian will die lol

[zealous karma]

Could bring bugsy and sync with him instead

[grand trout]

I'll use noland, bugsy (?) and preferably a support ex that can...support both

[grand trout]

Which bugsy

Both can support noland

Btw is there a support that can buft atk and sp def?

[toxic cobalt]

Liza

[grand trout]

I-

[void wyvern]

Primarina

Elio

[toxic cobalt]

I only have Poplio Elio

[void wyvern]

By choice?

[toxic cobalt]

I don't know how to answer this question

[void wyvern]

That answers question perfectly, thank you.

Is there any support who lowers speed?

[trail smelt]

Lodge Cynthia does iirc?

I’ll have to check her kit

[void wyvern]

Lodge Elesa

Does it

[zealous karma]

Beedrill

[trail smelt]

Oh yeah lodge Elesa too.

[zealous karma]

Elio with grid

[void wyvern]

Elio is too gauge expensive for a support

[tired sleet]

He has propelling move 5 and long animations

[zealous karma]

I don’t tend to have gauge issues with him but you did say who lowers Spd and not one who’s also gauge efficient 🦦

[tired sleet]

What team is this?

[toxic cobalt]

Lowering speed makes you more gauge efficient

[void wyvern]

True true.

Maybe I should give elio a chance.

[tired sleet]

Do it

But what team is it

[void wyvern]

I’ll do it right now

That’s…acyually a good question

DPS ELIO

[swift swan]

I rarely use Elio

only got him to 3/5 a few days ago

[grand trout]

I use him

[tired sleet]

Take power reserves 4 and good nightmare

[grand trout]

Because trans colors

[tired sleet]

Primarina is my favourite Pokémon but I never use him

[grand trout]

Not that im trans or anything i just like the scheme

[zealous karma]

I struggle using supports that can also stop turns

[grand trout]

But if i wanted someone who buffs sp def he's my first pick

Wdym by stopping turne

[tired sleet]

Sing

[grand trout]

Ah

[zealous karma]

Like any support than can flinch or sing

[grand trout]

Me, i have trouble with supports who do multi turns

[zealous karma]

I don’t know when to buff with them

Or stop a turn

[grand trout]

Like falkner and piers

[zealous karma]

That’s the fun part you don’t

[grand trout]

They kinda fuck up my countdown

Or they become invulnerable at an inopportune time

[zealous karma]

Iirc it’s possible to reque with the shield based atks but it’s super difficult

[tired sleet]

You can if you have regen param and it’s not a physical move

With piers and wikstrom

[zealous karma]

Why not physical?

[tired sleet]

Cuz the debuff animation prevents you from queueing in time

They only debuff if its a physical move

[zealous karma]

Oh

[swift swan]

same

[toxic cobalt]

I only multi turn or block after my second sync

[void wyvern]

Let us see how dps elio coes

[zealous karma]

That’s not overkill that’s murder

[tired sleet]

How are you gonna activate power reserves?

Are you going to take ally hp 50% and get an aoe move?

[void wyvern]

Yeah that’s the plan.

But I may just not go power reserves at all and win after sync

Because I can sleep with Cyrus to get extra aria’s in

But I have run into a problem. The team is too gauge heavy on turn 1

Bruno please stop using def all.

[tired sleet]

I just made the best team ever and got a 27k nuke

[void wyvern]

7.5k isn’t amazing but elio managed to clear 2k with max hp up by 60%

[void wyvern]

Team?

[tired sleet]

Elio, Summer Gloria, May

[void wyvern]

Who hit the 27k?

[tired sleet]

Gloria

[void wyvern]

First or second sync?

[tired sleet]

2nd sync after elio

[keen jasper]

And how many sync buffs?

[tired sleet]

2

[void wyvern]

2 likely

Summer Gloria is so fun

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm nice

[zealous karma]

How

Oh summer gloria

lel

[tired sleet]

She hits 13k first sync

[zealous karma]

I thought you meant Zacian

[void wyvern]

@tired sleet now see how high you can get snipe shot to hit

[zealous karma]

You would need

[tired sleet]

Dreamy hit 99k once

[void wyvern]

Hp only parameters, second sync

[tired sleet]

I assume you mean without ss kris’s help?

[void wyvern]

Without is funnier

[zealous karma]

Round 5 SpDef down param double sync buff SSKris and maybe another unit with them we skills

[keen jasper]

Can't wait to use Silver on Aaron

[tired sleet]

Are SpDef buffs allowed

[void wyvern]

Sure

But you can’t have more than 2 sync buff

No SS Kris because she’s so busted

Wellll. Depends

Also round 1 because round 2 boosts damage

[zealous karma]

I don’t use silver often but he’s definitely an impressive unit

[void wyvern]

Why no use silver often? He’s honestly super free

Just set up and win.

[zealous karma]

I like Serena more then Ho-Oh

[keen jasper]

Can't believe power boosted EX Silver can almost destroy fire-weak Blue with max HP, strength and defense params

[void wyvern]

That’s a great answer. Always use your favs

[zealous karma]

With def debuffs I wouldn’t say “almost”

I like Ho Oh tho lel I just like Serena more they’re both favs

[keen jasper]

Blue did have -6 defense

[zealous karma]

I like how Serena has more

Oh odd

Se next?

[keen jasper]

Yeah

[zealous karma]

How much did he do lel

[keen jasper]

53k on Blue, 41k on right and 38k on left

[zealous karma]

Holy

[keen jasper]

I lied, it's 52k

[zealous karma]

You had sync moves are more effective right?

Zang

[tired sleet]

I wonder if bringing ss brendan for spdef debuffs is better than maxing ramming speed

[keen jasper]

No defense params Silver did 80k to Blue and like 60k to the sides

[zealous karma]

Skull emoji

[void wyvern]

Literally melting a ton of resources down for this random challenge

[keen jasper]

Max strength and HP Silver hit the damage cap even without defense drops

[tired sleet]

I love getting flinched by a move with a 10% chance

[void wyvern]

I have my team but Bruno won’t stop mashing iron tail

I’m gonna have to waste more resources so I don’t die

[zealous karma]

100% chance for the enemy 10% chance for you is what you mean*

[void wyvern]

STOP USING IRON TAIL ON TURN 1 USE X DEF ALL LOSER

[tired sleet]

Here ya go
(With 1 SMUN stack from brendan)

[void wyvern]

That’s pretty good

I’m trying to do it without

[tired sleet]

Don’t worry, the same was happened to me

[void wyvern]

But my team requires a perfect setup so I might be here for a bit

[tired sleet]

Oof i didn’t max May’s Space Cadet theme skill

[void wyvern]

Omg he did the thing! He did the x def

[tired sleet]

I was using some interesting parameters to maximize damage lol

[keen jasper]

Imagine a 75 accuracy move hitting you all the time

[void wyvern]

God ducking Bruno

He never misses

Ever

[tired sleet]

Should i ex selene?

I already have 2 grass favs but it’d be fun

[void wyvern]

Did you do it on round 1?

[tired sleet]

Yep

[zealous karma]

My F2P teams for tomorrow oh wait I forgor Roxanne doesn’t buff crit

[void wyvern]

HOW DID I GET FLINCHED BY TWISTER

GRAAAAAAH I HATE BRUNO

[zealous karma]

That’s like a 5% chance or lower

[void wyvern]

OMG BRUNO ACYUALLY MISSED IRON TAIL RUN IS NOT DESD

I’m actually having the run

[tired sleet]

Don’t worry, happened to me too

On inteleon no less

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/are-ya-winning-son-gif-18099517

[void wyvern]

You have no idea how long it took to get this perfect run

@tired sleet

[keen jasper]

Try SS Brendan or Kris and Classic Red

[void wyvern]

Classic red isn’t needed. She comes with SEup

don’t have SS Brendan and I wanted to avoid SM next. Plus Liza has confusion which was needed for this.

[tired sleet]

I did it with SS Brendan and May, but SS Brendan + Archie seems interesting

[keen jasper]

Really? Well, I don't have her and I'm not familiar with her so geah

[void wyvern]

Liza was actually the sole reason I managed to hit 29k

[tired sleet]

Wth you went for foul fighting 2

[void wyvern]

Yep

That’s why I needed Liza. To match the Hoenn spirit and the foul fighting

Also 3/5 Archie with shower sync

[tired sleet]

What params did you use?

[void wyvern]

Hp hp hp

[tired sleet]

Interesting

[void wyvern]

What did you use?

[tired sleet]

Wouldn’t the difference between smun and spirit only be 5%

[void wyvern]

Yeah.

But I don’t have SS Brendan and I could’ve done a Raihan strat but this one was far more fun

[tired sleet]

I think i had str3? I used - sync countdown -2 and half hp

In hindsight i should’ve taken half mp too

[void wyvern]

Str3?

Honestly I just did it for the damage. Not for realism. So that might be why I’m a bit higher.

Under realism. I uh. Die.

[tired sleet]

[void wyvern]

Still though. This was fun!

[tired sleet]

I’ll try a variant of yours with ss brendan + archie

[void wyvern]

Don’t run 2k points just run max hp

[tired sleet]

Also not being able to max ramming speed stinks

Meh

[void wyvern]

I had 5/6 on speed

[tired sleet]

I like torturing myself

[void wyvern]

Winstooooon

You’re crazy

[tired sleet]

Also I realized i can reduce rng by going for a turn 2 denial on right

[void wyvern]

Honestly I just got super lucky with a quad queue and rainy prop

And Bruno missing iron tail and flinching him out of twister

[tired sleet]

Ttar used snarl which was annoying

[void wyvern]

31k is pretty nice.

[tired sleet]

Even at +2 spe +5 spatk

[void wyvern]

Brendan go brrrr

[tired sleet]

I should totally 3/5 him

[void wyvern]

Do it. Right now.

[keen jasper]

I wonder if a move can deal the damage cap to all enemies

[void wyvern]

I love a challenge

What are the terms of this challenge?

Just get a move to hit the maximum amount to all sides?

[tired sleet]

And refuse it to this adorable face?! I think not

[keen jasper]

You can do as much set up as you can

[void wyvern]

I can’t argue with that logic.

[tired sleet]

||Also I only have one support candy and one general candy lol||

[void wyvern]

Do it

[tired sleet]

Maybe next month

[void wyvern]

I really wish I had 3/5 Maxie

He’d be great for this.

[tired sleet]

The 99k challenge?

[void wyvern]

Yeah.

[devout sluice]

The 99k damage cap?

[tired sleet]

I could candy him but i don’t have anni raihan

[void wyvern]

Hit 99k on all sides.

[tired sleet]

On 3 targets

I’d assume using extend range/expand reach isn’t allowed

Or Bolt Tackle

[keen jasper]

You can debuff, apply SEUN, moves up next and all that set up

[devout sluice]

Well, we have to wait two hours instead of three now for reset.

[keen jasper]

1 hour

[tired sleet]

You know what, there is a grass weak stage next weak, i should ex selene

[devout sluice]

If I do indeed have trouble with Flint, I’ll have to off type with Anni N.

Because flint literally SCARES me when I first fought him aiming at 10k

2nd being Bertha and 3: being Arron.

[void wyvern]

Okay I’m going to try with anni raihan first

Without*

[devout sluice]

Lucian is just thin paper.

[full mesa]

1h 10m left. Prepare yourselves.

[void wyvern]

Will be using Archie.

Oh yeah 1 hour I’ll have to begin my CS gauntlet challenge

[devout sluice]

My plan is to hopefully keep SS Steven alive against that monstrous infernape. It appears I’ll have an easier time on Bertha.

Arron be easy thankfully. For Lucian, train bros job.

[void wyvern]

Actual right picture

[lethal cloud]

ah dam, lucian is a sp attk tanker, looks like I will have to use SC Diantha for him... was thinking of SS Hilbert originally

[void wyvern]

Honestly I’m not certain it’s realistically possible to hit 99k on all mons without extreme patience

[trail smelt]

1 hour left for Kanto get your crap done

[keen jasper]

Why Glacia?

[void wyvern]

Support ex Hoenn spirit

Also I love her

[keen jasper]

Too bad you don't have SS Brendan for the -6 Sp. Def.

[void wyvern]

I’m pooooor

[keen jasper]

But I don't think it's enough to reach the damage cap

[void wyvern]

I don’t think so either

[keen jasper]

Does Archie have SEUN?

[void wyvern]

Yes

[tired sleet]

And up to two more smuns

[void wyvern]

I didn’t get lucky

[devout sluice]

Since Lucian a special attack tanker, it’s the SC train bros job to take him down.

[zealous karma]

I do

[devout sluice]

I’ll try to save Anni N on Cynthia since I have to off type it anyway.

[void wyvern]

Off type? Koga.

[devout sluice]

(And no, SS Gio poison jab won’t do well.

[void wyvern]

Actually I’m probably going to use Lucy this week for her

[keen jasper]

Yeah, but I was actually talking to Apple Crab

[void wyvern]

When Brendan does show back up. Is he worth the summon

[keen jasper]

That depends on you

And he might get an expanded grid when he rerun

[void wyvern]

Does Brendan do something no one else can do?

[tired sleet]

He’s a rare support who can lower spdef by -2 each hit

[keen jasper]

Assuming you just use Luster Purge

[void wyvern]

Honestly the reason I didn’t pull ss Brendan despite being a support junkie is that I didn’t think he’d be that useful because he didn’t lower sides sp def, didn’t max crit without 3/5 and I wasn’t planning on using anni May.

[zealous karma]

Oh sadge

[zealous karma]

That felt a bit unnecessarily rude 🦑

[void wyvern]

Archie theme? Based.

[zealous karma]

I just did it for the theme clear

Mines 3/5 so 🦦

[keen jasper]

I'm so ready to destroy fire-weak Aaron with Silver with much higher params

[zealous karma]

Soon all my favs kw be 5/5

[toxic cobalt]

Theme clear? SS Kris in Hoenn team?

[zealous karma]

I call clears whatever at this point lel

[void wyvern]

More trying to fool around with damage.

[zealous karma]

3 legends is the clear

[void wyvern]

True!

[zealous karma]

limited special boost not procking once is so hype

[void wyvern]

I love limited special boost!

[keen jasper]

Sinnoh CS time

[swift swan]

SINNOH TIME BABYYYY

Good luck everyone

[toxic cobalt]

[zealous karma]

Sleepy time

For me

[toxic cobalt]

No sleeping without reading pins

[swift swan]

Well this is ptsd inducing

[toxic cobalt]

[spring fable]

Uh guess I’ll start the ball rolling

Any recommended fight order?

[plucky pewter]

time to unlock Sinnoh MM over next 2 weeks lel

[swift swan]

...starting the fight with half ally HP and using ss dawn's TM first turn against flint gone wrong

looks like I have to fish for the right rng because I'm too stubborn to change my strategy

[spring fable]

Same!

[toxic cobalt]

I beat sinnoh hard mode the first time using only fire grass and water

[spring fable]

Not sure if I wanna do Lucian round 4

[swift swan]

FLINT STOP USING FIRE BLAST TURN ONE

[spring fable]

Does he deal atk or spatk?

[swift swan]

lucian's special

he just wants physical

[spring fable]

Okie Lucian for r4 then

[swift swan]

the pins list what kind of damage the stages are dealing too

[spring fable]

Bertha r2

[void wyvern]

These round special parameters are incredibly forgiving

[swift swan]

jeez flint you're making this hard for me by spamming fire blast

[void wyvern]

He’s “right on target”

[spring fable]

Aaron R1
Bertha R2
Flint R3
Lucian R4?

Or should I swap Aaron and Flint

Hard mode, Carries are victini and mewtwo respectively

[swift swan]

phew beat flint

[swift swan]

what units are you using for R3 again?

[void wyvern]

What team?

[spring fable]

Falkner mewtwo Helena

[swift swan]

EX SS Dawn/Bianca/EX SS Lusamine. not much of a surprise really, I just had to switch my strategy and used Moonlight turn 1 instead of Sweet Dreams (I started with ally HP down so cutting my HP in half...isn't a good idea lol)

[swift swan]

the gauge is good enough

[spring fable]

But flint is mostly special tho

[swift swan]

but giovanni gets boosted too

it's a double edged sword that you might want to risk

[void wyvern]

As I’m planning my gauntlet cs I’m realizing that I’ll have to use flint as my fire striker against Aaron.

[swift swan]

gauntlet cs?

[spring fable]

So swap flint and Aaron?

[swift swan]

you can try that out, yeah

[eternal lodge]

finally its time for sinnoh

[void wyvern]

Challenge. Complete all of this cs without ever reusing a pair, on type striker all battles.

[spring fable]

Flint R1
Bertha R2
Aaron R3
Lucian R4
For my ref

[void wyvern]

I’m making myself suffer because I love pain!

[swift swan]

...so uh I know anni n is good but watching him one-shot the sides with one (1) blue flare is kinda scary ngl

[spring fable]

uh

he one shotted my swellow

on his first move

[void wyvern]

You might have too many offensive parameters

[devout sluice]

Ok, I was wrong about Bertha and Cynthia

[spring fable]

i am on hard mode

[old orchid]

Flint hits really hard

you should bring a spdef buffer

[devout sluice]

Bertha still murdered me until I brought leaf so 3 potion healer and Shaymin as an attacker, Cynthia was literal RNG. Took me several resets to get Anni N set up.

[spring fable]

ok i managed to clear infernape and emboar, blaziken heat waved me tho

[old orchid]

you should replace sand with other weathers

[devout sluice]

I long since beaten her.

And the rest of the 10k

But god that was stressful, even Cynthia.

[swift swan]

can you try denying the sides? and were you able to quadqueue?

omw to fight lucian, my biggest worry of the week

[devout sluice]

I had to bring Anni Skyla to Cynthia also and thank the flinch rng.

She was way harder than Bertha.

[void wyvern]

Flint doesn’t do barely enough damage. I need to get creative.

[old orchid]

use Silver then

[spring fable]

nooo i cant

i cleared both sides then 1v1 infernape

[toxic cobalt]

Why did you clear sides first?

[spring fable]

mewtwo died to 1st sync

because going for mid didnt work T^T

[void wyvern]

Can’t. I need to save silver for week 3

[swift swan]

do you have BP Morty by any chance? he can replace Helena for ghost, buffs sp defense, heal, and even pull off some lucky flinches

[toxic cobalt]

Right so round 1 and round 4 need to be played around with

[swift swan]

Wow this was easier than I thought

Bug-weak Lucian can no longer scare me!

[void wyvern]

Great job!

[toxic cobalt]

Nov want to edit your message to suggest no Aaron/Berta in Round 4 and no Flint/Lucian in Round 1?

[eternal lodge]

finally done with types, time for csmm

[swift swan]

I want to add the round params on pins so I can refer to them without having to check the game but I don't think I have enough characters left on that message with my nitro-less discord lol

I'll just discourage fighting them in certain rounds then

[toxic cobalt]

I mean we can add another pin

[void wyvern]

^

[spring fable]

Thank god he didn’t fire blast me this time phew

[swift swan]

yeah I think this is preferable

[eternal lodge]

This will be fun

[swift swan]

R1: Special attack moves are powered up (doing Flint/Lucian on this round is discouraged.)
R2: Physical damage reduction at start
R3: Move gauge increases faster
R4: Physical attack moves are powered up (doing Aaron/Bertha on this round is discouraged.)
R5: Status conditions are more effective

[spring fable]

wdym i literally did him 😠

[eternal lodge]

i can see why on r1 flint is discouraged, almost 1 tapped girafarig

[void wyvern]

No pain no gain?

[swift swan]

so did I, and sometimes it's okay if you have a bulky tank (I, for one, have more faith in my tanks) and can take advantage of the round parameter

[spring fable]

am i sure i want to do lucian r4

[swift swan]

it's fine, lucian is special anyway

[spring fable]

hope dawn takes care of him

[swift swan]

it'll just boost your team's physical attacks

his only physical move is uh, zen headbutt

[void wyvern]

Fire blast isn’t 85% it’s 50!

At least with how often I miss it feels that way…

[spring fable]

ok come on, gladion isnt that bad

he did 2k dmg!

[swift swan]

I'm sorry, Gladion is that bad without heavy support

this is coming from a gladion fan

[void wyvern]

I wish gladion was better. But my boy needs the supports to hold his hand.

[swift swan]

I feel like Gladion is the bar. if a unit can do ontype damage better than gladion, then it's at least decent

[toxic cobalt]

loool my Gardenia run was ended by Roxanne trapping herself to death with wide guard

[void wyvern]

At least gladion is pretty good in gauntlet

But CS? Back to the corner for him.

[bleak eagle]

So is sinnoh ex easy or did i get by just cuz im unlocking mm?

Kinda scared of sinnoh purely cuz of the cast

[void wyvern]

Master mode will give you a run for your money.

[swift swan]

alright, finished sinnoh CS. That was fun

[bleak eagle]

Oh so sinnoh is indeed hard

[void wyvern]

Teams?

[swift swan]

gonna upload to my stage clears forum soon

I'll link it here

[void wyvern]

Thank you.

[swift swan]

it really depends on your units

[void wyvern]

Compared to other CS they do have higher stats.

[swift swan]

funny thing is, from my observation, Hoenn has more bulk and hits harder

[bleak eagle]

Only one i would've been scared of is cynthia cuz i have 0 good poison units

[swift swan]

I remember a hoenn week where my write up was literally "bulky HP" on every single E4 member

[bleak eagle]

Or rather, strikers/ex's

[toxic cobalt]

Koga erasure

[swift swan]

stall, of course

even the round param encourages it

[lost gulch]

anyone tried hugh passive here

[bleak eagle]

Welp, wont stall this time around, unlocking mm atm

[void wyvern]

I agree, but in turn I found that sinnoh was more gimmicky.

[swift swan]

Hoenn has higher stats, both offensively and HP-wise. but Sinnoh has more entries, which severely restrict your options

[eternal lodge]

almost done, just gonna offtype cynthia for the 10k

[lost gulch]

Sinnoh is much more bulkier imo

[bleak eagle]

Also bois, how many like

Vouchers do i need

To get 15 5* powerups?

[void wyvern]

100 + 125 + 150

So 375

Not worth it.

[bleak eagle]

Lemme check rlly quick

[bleak eagle]

when u simp, common sense is out the window

Or well, maybe i could grind out lodge

So i use less

[toxic cobalt]

I'm using the wrong Gardenia grid

[void wyvern]

This happens so often to me. I’ve started checking my grid if I lose twice.

[bleak eagle]

Yep, have 233 rn, imma grind lodge a bit

[void wyvern]

And who are you trying to ex?

[eternal lodge]

done, it was fun dealing with cynthia with 2 consecutive syncs

[bleak eagle]

Getting it all setup for

[void wyvern]

Fooooe

[bleak eagle]

The next unova unit to release (idk if i can say who it is so, ill keep it vague)

[primal field]

This season of Cs is hard?

[bleak eagle]

No wait its on the title screen

[swift swan]

#1011173305702690876 message here you go

[bleak eagle]

Deal is im stocking it all up to day 1 150 ex ss N

[void wyvern]

It’s not particularly hard if you’ve been playing for some time. Units are the make or break in cs

[void wyvern]

Kris paired with red feels so weird.

[toxic cobalt]

Bertha not using High Horsepower turn 1 challenge

[spring fable]

nov i ended up swapping dawn with cynthia

she wasnt doing enough dmg

[void wyvern]

Impossible

[spring fable]

lesgo time for my dear Shirona One-san

[trail smelt]

Phew

Now that I know what I’m up against Sinnoh went by pretty fast

[swift swan]

I didn't have ss morty okay, so I went with SMUN stacks for a similar substitute

[swift swan]

flint not using fire blast turn 1 challenge

[devout sluice]

Bertha can’t be scripted to always use HH.

[trail smelt]

Sadly I couldn’t get my Alder/Guzma/NY Lillie team to work

I could have sworn that team beat Lucian before

So I kicked Alder out and slotted in BugScyther

[void wyvern]

Aaron not using mega horn turn 1 challenge

[devout sluice]

Perhaps you used different parameters?

[trail smelt]

Ready for monotype next week

[trail smelt]

Nah I use the same parameters haha

Maybe I just got lucky

[void wyvern]

Flying weak? Kahili time

[trail smelt]

And if you’re asking why the water team VS Cynthia

[devout sluice]

Anni Skyla and Ethan time.

[trail smelt]

It’s because ALL MY FAIRIES SUCK

[bleak eagle]

Btw, am i supossed to get 1 of each bp unit or? At least the rainbow ticket ones

[spring fable]

damn cynthia was easiest imo

[bleak eagle]

I have coballion but das it

[spring fable]

all 3 surviving

[void wyvern]

I still use Mina as my fairy striker. I understand.

[swift swan]

which cynthia, we have too many

[spring fable]

garchomp

[trail smelt]

Actually I’m not sure if I want to field the Water team

Because of accuracy shenanigans

[devout sluice]

I stopped using PSerena. I don’t know why tho, because takes too long to set up?

[swift swan]

ah

[trail smelt]

Monotype Fairy team is godawful lol

[swift swan]

cynthia next week has wise entry x2 though

[trail smelt]

If I wasn’t doing monotype then it’s fine haha

[swift swan]

can't believe even our newest fairy unit gets countered by cynthia

[toxic cobalt]

I misclicked on my Gardenia win but going to play it off as turn manipulation

[void wyvern]

Just say you’re simply better

[bleak eagle]

Great, the week i unlock mm is when cynthia takes her steroids, this is not gonna be fun

🥹

[swift swan]

nice job!

[devout sluice]

Hmm… Ice could be an issue for me. Not even Hala can do well.

[grand trout]

@zealous karma thanks for the advice!

[swift swan]

ice? pretty sure ghetsis worked just fine for me

[trail smelt]

Hmm… maybe a fire team would be better VS Fairy weak Cynthia

Would give me a chance to V-Create Cynthia’s face

[bleak eagle]

Ill leave that headache for next week, seems like imma be in this channel a lot

[swift swan]

oh yeah @zealous karma are you proud of me lol

[swift swan]

no worries, take your time lol

[devout sluice]

Well, I have to save Burgh and Skyla for Ice last then.

I think I know a plan for rock and ground.

[trail smelt]

Alright changed my Cynthia team next week, going with infinite sun Silver/SSHilda/SSMorty team

How’s everyone else’s challenge going?

[rigid flint]

Hop the mvp fr

My 1/5 ss gio died to a blizzard from the clefable in cynthia's stage

But he still managed to do a lotta damage before dying

Hop then avoided the next 2 blizzards

[tired sleet]

Here it is

[rigid flint]

And behemoth bashed that clefable to death

Absolute legend

[tired sleet]

sinnoh

[rigid flint]

Yeahh sinnoh's a pain

Still somehow mostly managed to clear them all first try

[dark osprey]

Read Nov's great summary for the round paramaters & what to avoid but that was after I did Aaron round 4. luckily didnt get megahorned. any generally suggested order?

[rigid flint]

I did:
Flint, Bertha, Lucian, Aaron

[swift swan]

Maybe a general round order suggestion would be Aaron round 1 so you can run some gauge-heavy fire behemoths like SS Hilda and SS Red/Leon/Anni N together. Then Lucian R4 because he wants physical attacks anyway

The other two can be switched around, though R2 does interrupt your quadqueue. Maybe Bertha R2 because she's fully physical

[rigid flint]

Ooh that works too

[dark osprey]

hmm. my thing was that Lucian too would be mainly physical

ah quad queue I'm avoiding completely now

[swift swan]

So general round order suggestion: Aaron, Bertha, Flint, Lucian?

[rigid flint]

Lucian does hit heavier than Bertha, so you could do Lucian second if you really wanted to

[swift swan]

Lucian's stage itself is special

So it doesn't matter if you fight him R4

[dark osprey]

not sure if Lucian hits with close combats. was lucky in my run i guess

[rigid flint]

Except for the fact that Lucian uses special moves a lot

[dark osprey]

oh. focus blast probably then

my bad

[rigid flint]

Ohh, next week

[dark osprey]

no i mean this week

[rigid flint]

Oh this week Lucian uses girafarig

[swift swan]

Yeah, this week Lucian's only physical move is Zen Headbutt

[dark osprey]

i'm a bit confused I guess. not even looking at lucian's mons

[rigid flint]

So it's just psychic and hyper voice

[dark osprey]

lol. my bad

sry. yeah. that order makes sense

[rigid flint]

Don't sweat it, it's all g

[dark osprey]

remembered lucian with his gallade

[rigid flint]

Ah fair enuf

[swift swan]

That was the flying weak one wasn't it

[dark osprey]

was lucky with Aaron on round 4. worked out in my favor since Silver Ho-oh and no megahorn

[fringe valve]

The pika's comin for Aaron next week

[swift swan]

Dammit why do a lot of flying weak Cs stages have to carry fighting moves

[rigid flint]

Nah Aaron got scared and decided to be electric weak on the last week

[fringe valve]

Ohhh ok lol

[swift swan]

I'm trynna bring anni steven with leaf as the support here but leaf keeps eating the close combat or focus blast or whatever

[rigid flint]

Oof

[swift swan]

#1010274591601598555 please

[rigid flint]

Sheesh

[fringe valve]

Didn't realize cynthia had a damage reducing passive

[rigid flint]

I can never bring myself to offtype

I'm too scared to

[swift swan]

Well there's nothing stopping you from bringing double pika to aaron next week anyway

[fringe valve]

True

Just wanna do it since aaron made me suffer last run

Plan on clearing that week fully off type anyway

SS Red + ash is a quite funny combo

[rigid flint]

I never expected to see ss red and ash together

[fringe valve]

You see Red doing like 11k blast burns off type with round 1 parameters

Ash's master passive makes him hit like zerena and steven lol

[rigid flint]

Geez

[fringe valve]

I think my favorite team ever is ghost

Marshadow just goes crazy

[rigid flint]

Oh fr

Marshadow is nuts

Really fun to use as well

[toxic cobalt]

Noland is possible. Just, very finicky.

[rigid flint]

It's a pity there's not many bug type units

Let alone physical ones

[thorn glen]

trying beat Lucin who should i use?

[rigid flint]

Do you have any bug type strikers?

[thorn glen]

yes

[rigid flint]

Who do u have?

[toxic cobalt]

Try Guzma, Noland, or Bugsy

Lucian doesn't hit hard so you can post-sync

Bring good supports

[thorn glen]

I’m also trying get medal I beat 3/4 to the champion

[thorn glen]

like who?

[full mesa]

Week 1 down. 3 left. I'll have my revenge.

[keen jasper]

Damn, max HP and SS Steven with EX support sync buff did 50k+ on his Psycho Boost

[swift swan]

A physical one. Hop, if you want to postsync

Although if you want to try this presync, it works. You need an EX support though

My lusamine is EXd but I don't think it matters much (though the extra stats are very helpful)

Noland/Bugsy/EX support works too I think

[fringe trail]

Noland + Bugsy actually put in work

doing like 5k per X-Scissor and the sync damage was juicy

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, max HP Lucian withstood SC Emmet's sync with EX support buffs

[fringe trail]

oh u have max HP parameters? I went full offensive (Hyper Voice + Dazzling Gleam almost killed Pinsir pre-sync lmao)

[keen jasper]

Max HP params against Aaron, it didn't damage cap the sides

[swift swan]

Lucian has almost 29k regularly so I'm not surprised

[fringe trail]

I used Vespiquen as my main tank but you probably could run anyone if they're fat enough

Noland + Bugsy should provide all the backbone u need

you can sync first with Pinsir to deny the Reuniclus

and yes, this does mean Noland + Bugsy can beat max offense parameters Lucian without an EX support buff

[swift swan]

[plucky pewter]

alright, now to wait for next week to finish the badge

[swift swan]

First week of Sinnoh, not as bad as I thought. Or maybe I just got better (that's what I'd like to believe lol)

[dark osprey]

You were more than prepared

Did SS Hilbert murder?

[spring fable]

Why do they not allow players to reset so I can finish up the medal

[dark osprey]

Weird customs

[swift swan]

I didn't even use ss hilbert because of the entry

[swift swan]

They murdered

[dark osprey]

Oh. Wanted to see if he could push through

[dark osprey]

Oh yeah nice 👍

Wonder if they can deny the left and still finish off the centre.

Hate Guzmas sync not critting

[swift swan]

They should be able to

Guzma and Lusamine's DPS are enough to take down mid

[tardy elk]

anyone notice just how fucking bulky lucian is?

I just cheesed it w/ sonia / N / SST Red

[swift swan]

Almost 29k, at base. He does feel hella bulky

I'm so proud I could ontype Lucian this time

One less fear

Bug-weak Lucian no longer scares me

[tardy elk]

beat him w/ 2 really good dps beatsticks w/terrain

[swift swan]

Fairy weak cynthia, on the other hand...

[tardy elk]

i could probably wipe it w/ deoxys

deoxys is just that good

[full mesa]

SCEmmetEx with SEUN and 2x sync buff did 31k and he survived. He is extremely bulky. But I had more issues with flint since SStevenEx was refusing to Crit on Sync.

[undone ether]

I hate this cs

I want to go back to fun times

[full mesa]

SSErika/SSLyra/DawnEx was a nice unexpected combo for R2 Bertha. Removing sand is like taking away 70% of her bulk.

[undone ether]

I went with ss erika, ss morty and groudon

[full mesa]

Sun team destruction. Nice.

[undone ether]

Guess which gave me trouble ww

[full mesa]

How did you build Syca for boss battle? I stalled so I used recuperation 1 but the burn is annoying.

[swift swan]

Wow ex olivia

[swift swan]

Healing hand build?

[undone ether]

That is not olivia

[swift swan]

Wait i was blind sorry

PLUMERIA

[full mesa]

Probably. But can he tank with it or does ex Plumeria obliterate the stage?

[undone ether]

Same as usual. Horn stab

[full mesa]

Yeah, I'm asking btw recuperation 1 or HH.

[undone ether]

I kinda winged it actually

Does he have recuperation? I didnt

[full mesa]

On Sinnoh? Damn mate!

[swift swan]

Plumeria is... so-so

[dark osprey]

how Plumeria without crit though. must have been painful

[full mesa]

I tried with SCLillie/Alister first but they can't survive sides.

[swift swan]

What, no shields?

[dark osprey]

burst in helps though but only once right

[undone ether]

Told u, i winged it

[full mesa]

Also I see mega Venu meaning Plumeria started sync after 3rd sync.

[undone ether]

Yep

For heracloss, only victini was alive

[full mesa]

Is this stall, is this offensive. Noone will ever know.

[undone ether]

Stall but clicking clock wwww

[swift swan]

With sinnoh, just justify every strategy

[full mesa]

I did Aaron with HilbertEx/SSRedEx/Roxanne. Only SSRedEx sync. All I needed was 2 sync.

[swift swan]

My aaron team was odd lmao

[undone ether]

Cant into offtype sadly

[full mesa]

I'm with you. Used poison stall on Cynthia. Probably I'll do the same next week.

[swift swan]

I know anni N is strong but seeing him oneshot sides with one (1) blue flare was scary

[undone ether]

...i mean i could but my team building is bad

Coulve easily just sst red

Or ash

.-.

Now then... Time to EX Kris or ss erika hum

[full mesa]

I don't bother off typing unless I have no other choice. Always on type and if possible ex striker or ex tech.

[undone ether]

Hum next week is ice

My only weakness orz

[dark osprey]

ghetsis grid update next week?

[plucky pewter]

bastard needs it

[undone ether]

Hum could ex glatia

[dark osprey]

wish he got another multiplier though.

[swift swan]

I'm fine with how he is rn. Love the QoL grid expansion

[dark osprey]

have EXed Candice and never looked back. happy with her

[swift swan]

Striker glacia?

[dark osprey]

lol

[undone ether]

Pain

[swift swan]

3/20 siebold

[plucky pewter]

i didnt even know that unit existed xD

[dark osprey]

where's ghetsis?

[undone ether]

Rolled on his banner with rosa. Guess who didnt come home

[undone ether]

EX land

[dark osprey]

oh yeah lol. his EX really helps

[undone ether]

Like i wanna ex kris but hummm

My ice types really needs it

[toxic cobalt]

let him have stats

[undone ether]

Ah wells. Lets do this

[dark osprey]

hmmm. maybe go for the other Candice?

[undone ether]

Hum

For mp refreshes?

[dark osprey]

no for nuking hard

also there's a wise entry ice weak glacia

[undone ether]

Wat

[full mesa]

I'm looking at a Sycamore/GhetsisEx/BPCandice team for next week. Might be impossible.

[undone ether]

Ice weak glacia wat?

[dark osprey]

not sinnoh. in hoenn

[undone ether]

Lol yeah this is impossible

[dark osprey]

seems like a decent team. may be losing out on getting a good max nuke for ghetsis

[full mesa]

As long as I win.

[dark osprey]

but both dps together and a decent sync may be enough

[full mesa]

I'll have to build BPCandice tho for hail mpr.

[dark osprey]

oh. also they seem to be physical

so sycamore seems like not very fitting

[full mesa]

Yeah. I'll need SkylaEx over Sycamore.

Or even better SSBlueEx

[undone ether]

Actually

[full mesa]

But I'll use him to off type Aaron. Maybe I'll off type Aaron with Zeus'rodents.

Volkner/SSTRedEx/Ash.

[undone ether]

I might just run ss morty, ghetsis and lucian

Or rodents wwww

[full mesa]

And use SSBlueEx/GhetsisEx/support.

[undone ether]

Ghetsis + Lucian with overpowered

Seems neat

[dark osprey]

personally, 3/5 Darach and 1/5 Lucian are great partners for Ghetsis

as in either of them

if u have them

[undone ether]

Oh if im using ss morty anyways, darach mmhmm

[dark osprey]

Lucian is easier & more effective actually

[undone ether]

Hmmm

Wait

If im using lucian, its gotta be ss kris

[dark osprey]

with darach can take full offensive parameters including crit shield

SS Kris is just great for any special attacker I guess

[undone ether]

Okay thats goid enuff

3 turns to kill

[dark osprey]

plus the nuke. EX really helps too

[undone ether]

And the heals too

[dark osprey]

true. can even take 1/2 HP parameters then

and if needed not take Ally Healing down

helps with Ghetsis buff as well. +3 sp atk on 1 TM use (after grid expansion i.e.)

[frosty axle]

F2P this time for Sinnoh was a lot easier than I remembered

[dark osprey]

The bugs weren't strong enough back then

[undone ether]

Screw it. Time to ex kris

[frosty axle]

Yes the new grids made Bugsy and Noland quite powerful

[swift swan]

Noland and bugsy grid are lifesavers

[undone ether]

I want burgh 3/5

[frosty axle]

without them I would of had to use Abomasnow again

[hidden ore]

Which Bugsy?

[main crow]

Thank god the types I needed are rather easy to fit

[frosty axle]

Definitely not Scyther since it it isnt a sync nuker

[toxic cobalt]

About to give up on Noland

[swift swan]

[toxic cobalt]

Alright I won with Noland but it was janky nonsense

And I'm not proud of it

[frosty axle]

why what went wrong?

[tribal agate]

my man needs a Noland tutorial

[spring fable]

Is this IOS?

[toxic cobalt]

I don't know what might go right

[tribal agate]

what are you doing

[swift swan]

Their best

[tribal agate]

[rigid flint]

Noland is trying his hardest

[hidden ore]

So what order and parameters are preferred for this stage?

Aaron or Lucian first?

[main crow]

Aaron

R1 would give Lucian a good advantage for special atks

[hidden ore]

Presync?
Gosh forgot about params Dreamy sent me

[main crow]

You can check the pins

There's the parameters chart as well as some tips for sinnoh csmm

[hidden ore]

That param wasn’t in the pin ☹️

It was presync but built different

[main crow]

Ah

That i have no clue about

[hidden ore]

Going to use Hilda & Morty squad
Best params for them?

[tribal agate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XUwZ6Dm05E

@magic crown

same team but replace lyra by Wally for rebuff + zone and it's even nastier
pre-sync parameters
5* is absolutely not needed
Sonia is also swappable by any physical buffer (Hop, Hilbert, Aaron etc...)

[magic crown]

I'll watch this

[tribal agate]

it's Hoenn but it also had wise entry x2 so that's why

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/3400/21000?s=3&l=140&r=3&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggYGhsdICksLS4v

[hidden ore]

@tribal agate what parameters did you use for Sinnoh?

I tried to find the one you recommended me last week, but failed

[tribal agate]

i always use the pinned pre-sync 2k as baseline

[lost gulch]

man lucian tough af to ontype

[tribal agate]

then adapt depending on my team needs

yeah Lucian needs physical bug so Hilbert denied

[lost gulch]

had to resort to ssr cynthia nuke to bomb it

[hidden ore]

For Aaron would it work?

[lost gulch]

not much reg pool phys bug

guzma sucks here

probably? it depends on your team again

parameters are but one thing, but not the most important part

[lost gulch]

even NY lillie was disappointing

[hidden ore]

I’m thinking of using Hilda & SS Morty

New Hilda

[lost gulch]

at least better than guzma in performance

[tribal agate]

new Hilda will shred it

i'll be using Guzma probably for this week
i'll do my runs later

[lost gulch]

guzma definitely need EX

[tribal agate]

my Guzma is EX'd so that'll be fun

[lost gulch]

this was my team for lucian

[dark osprey]

whoa. whats erika doing there?

EX Erika

[keen jasper]

Damn, Mallow did 43k against Bertha with 2 sync buffs and -4 Atk. on Bertha, not sure how many Def. drops tho

And she doesn't have CS2

[frosty axle]

hmm he two sync shotted middle for me and then hit the sides hard

[full mesa]

Eevee I'm waiting for your f2p videos this month. Let's destroy Sinnoh.

[tribal agate]

Keep in tabs Auroch's one too

[lost gulch]

sp def down

[tribal agate]

that's why i assume Noland struggled if it's not using a gen pool EX support

[frosty axle]

Don't remember if I synced first with my EX Psyduck as I remember killing middle before enemy sync with two sync nukes

only other ex I used was Skyla sync first other than that I didn't use EX support

[tribal agate]

nice nice

good to see Noland action this week

[frosty axle]

Not sure why I struggled last Sinnoh even without Noland grid

[tribal agate]

i'm stomping on this week without mercy or shame lol

[void wyvern]

Is Noland’s grind primarily for damage or sync?

[grand trout]

Damage tbh

If you're using the cutter build it's recommended not to sync

Syncing resets cutter

[tribal agate]

then again his nuke is very good
inertia nuke no joke

[mellow linden]

Cynthia was RNG Hell for me this week. Not really because of a team comp that normally abuses it or anything (though I did try Classic Giovanni and failed due to too heavy of an RNG requirement), but because the game refused to give me MP Refreshes and an opening other than Fire Blast for dozens of attempts
