That’s…problematic.

grand trout
#

I used noland for dps and bugsy for sync

#

Def drops from twinneedle are a godsend too

void wyvern
#

Do bugsy and Noland pair well?

mellow linden
#

Anyway, Fall Iris + Lucy + Sonia is a good team

grand trout
#

This was mine

void wyvern
grand trout
#

It's more of both paired well with Aaron

void wyvern
#

The only support I don’t have

mellow linden
grand trout
#

Anyone who can buff atk crit can do

void wyvern
#

He doesn’t get mpr till 2/5 though.

grand trout
#

Aaron?

#

Mine is 5/5 lol

void wyvern
grand trout
#

Also even if it isn't Noland and bugsy can buff theirs

grand trout
void wyvern
#

What do you mean? You can get stuff other than fantina from ticket scout?

grand trout
#

Yes they updated them

void wyvern
#

I meant to sound a litttttle more sarcastic, sorry

grand trout
#

Ah lol

void wyvern
#

I’ve had the worst ticket scout luck. So much so I’m actually considering spending the 3k paid to pick Aaron

pine spruce
#

what grid you guys put in for aaron?

pine spruce
grand trout
#

Mpr for tm and bug zone i think

#

I really wish heal order has mpr

void wyvern
#

Honestly that’s really all you need. If no bug zone take move gauge refresh on defend order.

pine spruce
#

mpr?

void wyvern
#

Move point refresh

pine spruce
#

oh

void wyvern
#

The red tile that has a chance of refunding usage.

grand trout
void wyvern

#

I use Noland solo nuke, fury cutter still hits hard

keen jasper
#

So now I tried max HP, strength and defense params against Aaron using Silver, he did like in the range of 40k with -6 Def. on Aaron

pine spruce
void wyvern
#

I wish Aaron took a similar route like dawn and got dps tiles

grand trout
#

Wouldn't it make him worse

void wyvern
#

I wanna see attack order hit mega numbers

grand trout
#

Attack order is a 4 bar move

void wyvern
#

3

grand trout
#

You're better off spamming defend order

grand trout
void wyvern
#

Dawn dps is fun because I get to play around with actually going past 1st enemy sync and still being able to take hp up parameters. I was partially hoping Aaron would get a similar treatment.

grand trout
#

Doesn't dawn debuff

#

Or she just buffs everytime she attacks

void wyvern
#

Every time she gets attacked

#

Power siphon 9

grand trout
#

Is there a way for her to buff crit

void wyvern
#

The optimal team for dawn if you want her to go solo is Hilbert dawn C!Iris

grand trout
#

No thanks, i have Brendan

#

Why ciris though

void wyvern
#

Lmao. It’s definitely not optimal. But I’m more into fun creations these days

void wyvern
grand trout
#

Tsareena is my fav grass type

void wyvern
grand trout
#

I even have the trop kick grid because even though power whip is stronger, there's just a satisfying feeling knowing tsareena is kicking the enemy

void wyvern
#

I require an alternate fire strikers other than silver and Anni n and SS Hilda that will work against Fire weak Aaron.

grand trout
#

Go with the ogs

#

Failing that go serena and sleep that mofo into oblivion

plucky pewter
#

ss red will always be my favourite fire type.. when i started i summoned him and he carried me through most of the game.. was my first ex and everything

void wyvern
#

But I will try Serena

Tips for this stage

mellow linden
#

I think the direction here was for someone else

#

For that it'd be #1009557516369281075

lunar meadow
#

Thanks to Naganadel I can finally mono-poison 😅

frosty axle
plucky pewter
#

who are naganadels best pals for a mono-poison team?

#

ive been using koga and then changing the 3rd unit around

mellow linden
#

I guess BP Janine and...I guess Lucy or Koga

tribal agate
#

Allister imo

#

i always use Iris & Allister together

#

amazing pals

#

you lose on some themes synergy but Allister has a great poison dps + nuke and he applies poison relatively easy

#

it's very comfy, wasn't a bother in the slightest
(support is just fav here you can use anybody that complements spatk buffs)

mellow linden
#

Fall Caitlin as the Support, excellent taste

tribal agate
#

i will never not use fCait and fIris together because of their dialogue which warms my heart

mellow linden
#

I see there's now stuff in the pins for round parameters, should save some time on questions occasionally

#

I can definitely say from experience that Round 1 Flint is in fact a bad idea

#

I tried 1 attempt, saw a 1k+ Fire Blast, and left

tribal agate
#

yeah that pin is a good addition thx november

tribal agate
#

the meme lives on

#

if only our Flint could do that

mellow linden
#

My thought process was "eh, I'm using all special damage, I should be able to do fine"

#

I ended up doing Bertha round 1 because Psychic was my only special using team

tribal agate
#

i posted my stuff as usual in #1011234431291359302 but i just wanted for first clears to get it done asap so nothing crazy

#

i also didn't notice you had a clear thread RosaThink gonna look into that

mellow linden
#

It's mainly just "Hey, I did this" with minor commentary

dark osprey
toxic cobalt
#

I can't believe people are pinging me just to abuse my Noland run EusineWhy

dark osprey
#

Noland does need the support for sure

lunar meadow
# plucky pewter who are naganadels best pals for a mono-poison team?

Janinebat is a pretty good support for Naganadel.

The issue beyond that is poison type tanks. Weezing desperately needs MPR on his trainer move, but he's our best tank. Thankfully Janinebat also gives him some evasion to help a little, but healing and defensive boosts are rare with poison types.

mellow linden
#

Inb4 Oleana with Garbodor as Poison type Support

Seriously though, hopefully we get more Poison supports, it would be helpful for a lot of reasons

lunar meadow
#

I'm glad we finally got Melony and Lapras as a ice gen pool support.

She's not great, but she's good enough.

plucky pewter
lunar meadow
#

Oleana could be a tech unit with Toxic Spikes, to work exactly like Hippowdon's spikes of a different typing.

But I'd prefer a support with defense boosts and healing

#

Or a poison support with crit buffing, to help salazzle

mellow linden
#

If you plan to use her, probably

#

Support EX is rarely bad

lunar meadow
#

Damage fields like spikes/toxic spikes/stealth rocks/z-charizard/z-copperajah are probably the next thing to explore once they finish the zones.

Rebuffs are also rolling out now

lunar meadow
# plucky pewter is she worth the ex?

I have EXd every support I can, but my Melony is 1/5 so I can't say for sure.

I think Melony is one of the least valuable support EX options in a general setting. Her dual screens gimmick isn't enough to bring her to a lot of content unless you really want to

plucky pewter
#

Thanks, I'm not going to be exing her like right now but im almost done with what i consider my "main" units for each type and varying supports even though i know i have many more to go so was looking ahead for future ex's (pending further releases etc)

lunar meadow
#

At 3/5 she gains recuperation and team sync Regen.

That means syncing on her will heal her for 20% and give all allies heal over time, and make her a much better support to sync with for defensive utility

This was my monotype poison team this week. Last time it was Koga instead of Lucy

keen jasper
#

Mind Games 9 sorry

trail smelt
#

I think so. He was 3/5

main crow
#

Would this team be good enough to deal with 2k post sync Cynthia?

#

More concerned abt how Hilbert tanking tbh

formal vigil
#

Should be fine

toxic cobalt
#

Cynthia is a special attacker

main crow
#

That's the thing

#

Mina wants physical buffs

toxic cobalt
#

Why are you using Mina?

main crow
#

No other physical fairy

toxic cobalt
#

Wait is this for next week

main crow
#

Yes

toxic cobalt
#

No special/crit supports?

#

Hmm that is asking a lot

main crow
#

I would've brought a special tank in the slot of SSWally but I do want that fairy zone to be around

rose ermine
#

Flint is making me very angry

Y’all need to calm down with the teams for next week, Sinnoh CS just started

lunar meadow
spring fable
#

will flint next week be like that too?

mellow linden
#

Iirc Rock weak Flint isn’t as high damage as Psychic weak Flint

spring fable
#

do we know their entry yet

mellow linden
#

Wdym

tribal agate
#

we do

#

check the pins

spring fable
#

like if physical or special is recommended against each of them

tribal agate
#

click this

mellow linden
#

Ah

spring fable
#

oh thanks

tribal agate
#

then the arrow on the right to navigate to next week

mellow linden
#

Yeah, check pomatools. Not all of them have resistances like that

tribal agate
#

wait a min

#

he didn't update ANGERY

mellow linden
#

In fact, I think Steel weak Bertha is the only Bertha iteration to have one of the entries

tribal agate
#

what you can do is

#

spam click left arrow to go back

#

to previous Sinnoh

#

find the corresponding type in accordance to next week's schedule

#

their kits don't change

mellow linden
#

Iirc Lucian has the most Entry passives

tribal agate
#

Flint next week is Rock

main crow
#

Sun is in the air?

No, sandstorm time

spring fable
#

what i see is flint and cynthia we want physical atker

tribal agate
#

my SS Brock EX can't wait

void wyvern
#

Wise entry x2? N-No Roxanne?

mellow linden
#

Olivia is queen for Rock weak Flint

spring fable
#

gonna offtype cynthia then, xerneas moonblast is special

void wyvern
#

Oliva has aged incredibly well.

mellow linden
#

You could probably use Mina, actually

spring fable
#

victini can dual strike with non powerboosted silver?

mellow linden
#

Probably could, yeah

spring fable
#

awesome

void wyvern
#

Could but Sun would probably be better for sufficiency.

mellow linden
#

But tbh you probably don’t need to dual strike with SS Hilda

mellow linden
#

Something like her + tank + Blaine/SS Erika/SS Morty should be fine

spring fable
#

okie!

#

this look good?

#

wally, olivia and rosa for the last 3 typing required

#

maybe ss blue to bertha?

void wyvern
#

Why Wally?

keen jasper
#

Is that next week?

spring fable
#

yes it is

spring fable

there to get carried hopefully

main crow

Ash's tm is instant +6 spatk yeah?

keen jasper
main crow
#

Oh?

#

It's scaled?

keen jasper
#

But at least it's max crit

spring fable
#

So any thoughts?

#

It’ll be hard mode

mellow linden
#

Should be more than fine for Hard, though unless you need Bug for type medal maybe use Candice instead of SS Hilbert for Hail

main crow
#

What would kukui be doing in rock type? Leer spam?

void wyvern
#

Few thoughts

Ground aaron does more damage if no weather is in play. But shouldn’t be a problem.

You may want a sand setter over kukui as flint has sun passives and instant sun.

spring fable
spring fable
mellow linden
#

Falkner should be a competent enough tank for Hard Mode

#

Especially with Ghetsis debuffs

spring fable
main crow
#

Is palossand your only sand setter?

spring fable
#

Indeed he is

main crow
#

Aight aight

keen jasper
#

No Bertha?

spring fable
#

Nope :;(

main crow
#

Yeah Olivia under sand should be good enough to take care of flint

#

Just need the accuracy buff from her tm

spring fable
#

I didnt opt palossand because I dont like her, but I guess if it overwrites sun, it’s no bad

void wyvern
#

Is Oliva 3/5?

spring fable
#

*not

#

She is

#

Running sandless grid

#

Can change to sand grid once I throw a acerola in there

void wyvern
#

Would you like a sand grid so you can save the Preset?

spring fable

Not the one in the sync grid doc?

Or that

void wyvern
#

Lemme go through this quickly, although I’m 100% sure the grid here is the best

#

That grid doesn’t give you speed up so make sure you use x speed with Hilbert and you’ll be all good.

swift swan
void wyvern
#

With ash going bazinga I agree.

swift swan
#

It's the acute senses 4 on ground weak aaron that might be troublesome, but easily negated if you take gradual healing param. Hard mode players actually need to inflict status change tho lol

swift swan
#

Now my EX Hau is back with a vengeance!

void wyvern
#

Does ash have passive ignore?

spring fable
#

No

swift swan

No

Emphasis on the "not painful".

lunar meadow
#

15 support EX was annoying as heck. Some typings have no good damage dealers haha.

Bug and Water are easy, because Blastoise for water and Araquanid/Ribombee for bug do a lot.

Mono-support against dark weak enemies was pain.

rose ermine
#

I got past flint's fire blast

#

Calem destroyed him

#

42k nuke

void wyvern
#

I had something weird happen. I was able to quad que against aaron on turn 1

swift swan
#

My most painful run is a full manga dexholders run in which I could only do 8850 because Nate sucks ass. Maybe it was because of the round params too. I think I'll redo that challenge when opportunity arrives

#

My second challenge run is an all-Blue run lol

#

The only unit I have 5 of

mellow linden

#

Lana’s primary damage is leech life

Love the way she vampire-d her way through latios in my LG run

#

pain again

#

thank god Bertha doesn't have sentry entry but i can't recall who did

#

it was Hoenn no?

swift swan
#

Steel weak glacia

tribal agate
#

ah yes

#

Glacia

mellow linden
#

Steel weak Glacia is pain

swift swan
#

The stage that made us thought, "hey, maybe we'd get doom desire jirachi for hoenn va part 2?"

tribal agate
#

Bertha traumatized me for going in blind without looking at my rounds and i ended up with a Half Sync round on HS1

swift swan
#

Or "hey, maybe we'll finally get a raihan rerun?"

#

Haha

#

I love the way that stage basically invalidated 90% of the steel roster

tribal agate
#

yeah

void wyvern
#

Glacia steel weak I presume?

swift swan

I SPENT 30 MINUTES WRITING SUMMARIES MistyAnger

void wyvern
tribal agate
#

not do it on half sync round lol

swift swan
void wyvern
#

Give up and cry. Got it.

swift swan
#

And oneshot her on first nuke or sth

tribal agate
#

i'm curious now who i used to defeat it but that would require me knowing what was the date of that CS
ok wait i found it

void wyvern
#

I’m a huge fan of the sinnoh cs having more impactful passives like Bertha head start and Aaron endurance.

swift swan
#

Well my Hop/EX Steven/Masked Royal team almost presynced Bertha at strength 12. I could've presynced if I used my usual hyper offensive params

#

Aww, steel weak glacia is 2 weeks away

tribal agate
#

when the odds are against you

#

just troll the game

swift swan
#

Now that my fear of bug-weak lucian has been eradicated, I just have 1 more fear

#

Fairy-weak Cynthia

tribal agate
#

just use Mina tbh

#

it's no fear, do it

swift swan
#

Fine, I'll unbench mina finally

void wyvern
#

Why does no one have good fairy strikers?

swift swan
#

I only have all the free and genpool ones

tribal agate
#

everyone does

#

they just don't wanna invest in her

swift swan
#

Any substitute for lyrapuff?

#

What is she even for

tribal agate
#

lyrapuff was just there to be cute, 1/5 trash

swift swan
#

Visuals. Got it.

tribal agate
#

🤣

#

Sonia same, not necessary, just any ramp up atk/crit to help Mina is fine
important is debuffing -6 atk_down for pecking order

void wyvern
#

Mina just works

swift swan
tribal agate
#

they get shredded

swift swan
#

It's been so long since I've had this kind of trouble because I have way too many striker EXs or I dual strike

3x sync Play Rough on-type

why Lillie?

swift swan
dark osprey
#

Lillie is janine plus trap

swift swan
signal plover
#

lodge lillie has overwhelm 9 and satisfied snarl 4 to debuff both atks, and she has synchro healing as a natural passive. also has trap

tribal agate
#

Lillie can debuff spatk & speed?

signal plover
#

not speed

tribal agate
#

i mean Morty already has synchro heal too tbh

dark osprey
#

Not speed. But you don't need speed

void wyvern
#

Flint or Bertha next?

toxic cobalt
#

BP Morty is a stall champ.

signal plover
#

yea dunno why u would debuff speed when u want them to attack you

#

so they can take poison damage

tribal agate
#

no i was asking just for debuffs knowing

signal plover
#

but yea she can debuff sp atk

tribal agate
#

but uh

signal plover
#

i dont run synchro healing on bp morty

toxic cobalt
#

I debuff speed to get more sync heals off

tribal agate
#

wait what

#

why not

#

BP Morty should be able to get his refreshes and synchro heal tiles

signal plover
#

dont feel like regridding off astonish aggra LOL

toxic cobalt
#

Guess you don’t need it in a SSL team anyway

#

Given SSL can solo

void wyvern
#

SSL?

#

Oh ss leaf

swift swan
#

I just checked... Aside from the victory road banner, the 72 hour banner, and a paid select, SS Leaf's last rerun (which was also her first) was in december 17 2020. I am raging

#

So nowadays your only way to get her is the 72 hour scout if you're lucky or victory road

toxic cobalt
#

So funny how there was a SSR SSB and… Alder banner

And good luck for sinnoh cs, welcome to this fun hell

tribal agate
#

my favorite stalling pair still stands to be Erika BP

#

idk why people never play her

void wyvern
#

We’ll hold down to the Fort for you!

tribal agate
#

she has both trap and toxic and has pokey traps
plus sustain and defenses

toxic cobalt
#

Sustain?

void wyvern
#

Bp Erika is just genuinely underrated.

tribal agate
#

first aid 4

void wyvern
#

First aid 4 on stall is so nice.

tribal agate
#

give her healthy healing also and bam

void wyvern
#

Doesn’t she have propelling strike

#

She does! it’s move not strike though

tribal agate
#

propelling move 5 yes

#

pokey trap 1 & 2 too

toxic cobalt
#

I find her weak

#

Don’t like how she can’t take that many syncs

void wyvern
#

Compared to?

tribal agate
#

wdym weak

toxic cobalt
#

All my other poison inflictors

void wyvern
#

Frail

dark osprey
#

Lucy grid is good competition now

toxic cobalt
#

Yeah frail

void wyvern
tribal agate
#

she's frail on physical

#

but special?

#

she can +6 spdef easily and has a nice spdef stat

#

you can give her Stoic 2 if anything

toxic cobalt
#

Maybe. I haven’t tested against different attacks

#

Just my feeling

#

She is great for when there is a poison parameter or a lower poison resistance but I find for non-advantaged stalling she doesn’t last long enough

tribal agate
#

eh compared to stuff like Janine or Lucy? idk

#

again, she has defenses and first aid 4

#

on paper, that doesn't make much sense to me

#

you should give her another shot

void wyvern
#

Lucy doesn’t seem that good for stall. She’s not super frail but she only has pokey trap and her hp is kinda meh

mellow linden
#

BP Erika’s true flaw is her actual move damage is doodoo

lunar meadow
toxic cobalt
lunar meadow

#

absorb with healthy healing is more than enough

especially with first aid 4

#

I prefer Lucy for doing what she was made to do sync nuke

Weirdly, I think EriTangela has a high damage sync move

mellow linden
#

Infestation isn’t gonna do much for you either on the damage front

toxic cobalt
#

Doesn’t absorb heal like 1HP?

void wyvern
#

2 if you’re lucky

tribal agate
#

yeah that's why healthy healing Dogkek

lunar meadow
#

I want Ariados to get a grid. Our only venom drench unit that could.

Imagine adding "accuracy drop" to venom drench

tribal agate
#

i used to stall with NY Lillie instead

#

i reckon buffing eva and reducing accuracy cannot stack because of a certain ceiling

#

it was fun

toxic cobalt
#

Janine MPr when?

void wyvern
#

Do I ex Lyra so I have a 3rd Sun setter for my stupid challenge knowing I’ll never use her again?

lunar meadow
tribal agate
#

why wouldn't you use Lyra ever again?

#

she is amazin'

void wyvern
#

I have SS morty

tribal agate
#

one of the best role buff compression in the game

#

well, just have both lol

#

they pair super well

lunar meadow
#

She works well WITH Mo-Oh

#

Two support syncs, sun for days

toxic cobalt
#

She works well with all sun doesn’t she?

silent quail
fringe valve
#

I think there's better options to run on sun teams

void wyvern
#

So the general agreement is yes

mellow linden
#

The answer to “SS Morty or Lyra” quite literally is “por que no los dos?”

lunar meadow
tribal agate
lunar meadow
tribal agate
#

rare speed buffer
rare atk + spatk buffer
rare crit buffer

fringe valve
#

If you have morty, you'll get more value of running a dual strike team than using lyra

tribal agate
#

dual strike is overrated, but it's up to preference

toxic cobalt
#

But then you lose the value of using Lyra

void wyvern
tribal agate
#

ayo, nice!

#

lunar meadow
silent quail
#

the unit that compresses offensive hitting...

#

is Lillie :X

void wyvern
#

Now watch this team do absolutely nothing and I wasted 19 power ups

silent quail
#

sure crit and +3 in each

void wyvern
#

Ex costume or no?

tribal agate
#

i'm a Lillie 150 enjoyer but Lyra has +3 crit, +6 atk spatk and speed it's unheard of

silent quail
#

that's 5 turns

lunar meadow
#

@tribal agate
I just posted my all support clear from CS in September 😅

tribal agate
#

Lyra is frail but Lillie is SO SLOW WHY IS THAT SPEED A THING

silent quail
#

Lillie just set you up all you need in 2

tribal agate
#

but Lillie is love for Synchro Healing and Catalytic Cure and Unfortuitous 9

silent quail
#

but that is

#

OF COURSE if you try to end the game

#

in just 1 sync

lunar meadow
#

Which Lillie are you talking about???

tribal agate
#

OG one, Clefairy

silent quail
#

regular

lunar meadow
#

Polteageist gets lots of speed

#

Oh. Clefairy ya. No speed.

tribal agate
#

OG Lillie is one of the slowest pair in the game

#

but yeah her fast hyper offensive setup is amazing

silent quail
#

yep

tribal agate
#

and LG MVP also

silent quail
#

that's what I meant

#

in terms of compression for offensive strats, she's the best

lunar meadow
silent quail
#

but you need enough damage to end the stage in just 1 sync lol

#

or +1 with qq

tribal agate
#

yeah i'm more of a second sync nuke and Lillie has innate Adrenaline 1 too

#

i keep a TM refresh for second sync usually

#

thankfully she can take the hits to compensate for her atrocious speed

void wyvern
#

Lillie has adrenaline? Based

lunar meadow
#

Same.

Pre-sync is for whales. Second sync is for support mains!

tribal agate
#

her grid is pretty nice tbh

#

Maybe I need to give her another chance

tribal agate
void wyvern
#

This better work

silent quail
#

there was a strat I used with Gardenia

tribal agate
#

Lyra slot 1 imo

toxic cobalt
#

Roxanne always works

tribal agate
#

i had Lyra tank that stage she did fine

#

Gardenia under sun gonna be stonks

void wyvern
#

I’m a weirdo. My tank is on the left

silent quail
#

uh

#

can I post a video here?

tribal agate
#

sure, usually #1010274591601598555 but it's fine since it's in context

silent quail
#

is a clear against that same stage

#

using Gardenia, Dawn and SS Erika

void wyvern
#

Inspiration

void wyvern
#

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT SS ERIKA NOOOOOOOO

toxic cobalt
silent quail
#

SS Erika is just 2/5

void wyvern
#

M-My 19 power ups….

silent quail
#

so she's not the main focus lol

tribal agate
#

SS Erika even at 1/5 always incredibly surprised me with her DPS

#

but yeah that Gardenia outdamaging her

#

beautiful

silent quail
#

yeah, but I meant that she was not used as the main damage lol

toxic cobalt
#

Gardenia rips through Bertha

#

Probably doesn’t even need the help

tribal agate
#

i'm waiting to see Apple Crab's clear with their new Lyra and i'm off

#

hopefully she serves you well

void wyvern
#

Yeah it was first try

tribal agate
#

hehehe

void wyvern
#

also just apple or crab will do

tribal agate
#

gratz

#

we have a few apples and one crab already SycamorePanic that's very weird out of context

void wyvern
#

This server is pretty big. Probably the biggest one I’ve been in.

#

But wow, EX Lyra is actually great.

tribal agate
#

she is!

void wyvern
#

There goes the materials needed for EX Kris but she can wait. New queen in town.

#

Now the question is how well does ex Lyra pair with Anni raihan as the primary striker.

toxic cobalt
#

LG coming up for materials

zealous karma
#

Noland doesn’t struggle 🦑 especially when paired with bugsy used him for my F2P big clear it was nice

tribal agate
#

it's not like it's impossible, but it ain't ez win either

zealous karma
#

It was pretty easy for me

#

On e I can reset I’m going to reset

#

But Noland does not struggle

#

Arcanine tho you make me cry

#

Both

frosty axle
#

with EX

zealous karma
#

I used hop bugsy Noland

tribal agate
#

yeah ik i've been praising Noland's powers earlier

zealous karma
#

Was pretty easy

tribal agate
#

against Bugsy

#

they're pretty on par

#

(OG Bugsy)

zealous karma
#

And I use strength twelve

frosty axle
#

They similar in damage when I tested both syncs

zealous karma
#

Noland has good DPS

#

4K post bugsy sync

#

In plan on recording my clears

#

I need to replace Mesprit with someone more available

#

It’s why I don’t want to use arcanine

#

Unless I off type Bertha with Cyrus

#

Which I don’t want to do

frosty axle
#

I didn't need to use Mesprit on Flint but wanted to for fun

zealous karma
#

We have no good grass units I want to cry

frosty axle
#

Bulbasaur and Hooh do fine

#

can't believe how much damage Bulbasaur leaf storm does with multipliers seems better than Sceptile

zealous karma
#

I don’t have bulbasaur and I don’t like the lodge pairs for F2P

frosty axle
zealous karma
#

I probably am going to

#

This Cyrus off type seems easy

frosty axle
#

as long as sandstorm is gone bertha is simple

#

so shouldn't be an issue

#

next week ground is going to be interesting

zealous karma
#

On my gosh Winona

#

Why are you like this

#

I’m giving her cs2 dies

frosty axle
#

wouldn't you have survived the sync?

zealous karma
#

I don’t do post sync and Bertha did like 15K to everyone

void wyvern
#

I love doing post sync sometimes.

#

Although in sinnoh cs. That would require def/spdef buffs sooooo.

zealous karma
#

Post sync is the biggest thing i hate ever lel

lost gulch
#

post sync is cringe

zealous karma
#

So true

bright furnace
#

Post sync is ok

#

Sometimes needed based on the theme

zealous karma
#

How is a 13 second video “to big@ apparently 8MB is to much for a level 3 server moyai

bright furnace
#

Don’t question it mate

zealous karma
#

And then my discord crashed I love this app

bright furnace
#

I have to re-record 3 of the clears DrakePain

zealous karma
#

Sometimes the interaction in this game feel scripted

lost gulch
zealous karma
#

I rarely post sync in my theme clears 🦦

lost gulch
#

altho this sinnoh cs really took my time

zealous karma
#

And Cyrus just missed

#

F2P clears is where you get the worse rng I swear

lost gulch
#

my last post sync was like jan/feb 2021

void wyvern
#

Gloria and zacian in the corner because no post sync

lost gulch
#

yea

#

i only used zacian in less than 3-4 times

#

thats how rare

#

and is for kanto cs which is the easiest

zealous karma
#

I had to post sync with Zacian for 15K

lost gulch
#

sinnoh cs really made me use last resort offtype teams

#

i agree sinnoh cs is the hardest to pre sync

tardy elk
#

I just spam shit like deoxys and sst red

peak stirrup
#

Is special or physical better vs Lucian

lost gulch
#

they are hella bulky

#

physical

peak stirrup
#

Probably have to do him Round 4 then

tardy elk
#

ex Sonia / N / sst red kills lucian fairly comfortably after the support ex sync

zealous karma
#

I am so mad at this Bertha fight

#

It’s not even hard

#

I’m just getting memed on by rng

tardy elk
#

bertha was very easy w/ sslyra/ ex bren / marley

#

might be able to replace ss lyra w/ some sun setter for charging sun

zealous karma
#

I wish an F2P player could use that

#

I wish every player had Victor

bright furnace
bright furnace
tardy elk
#

you just want dps on bren

zealous karma
#

Finally

#

Cyrus didn’t get crit by an aoe

#

Why was bug Easier than grass

#

Crying

tardy elk
#

no ex brendan?

bright furnace
#

Richu trying F2P clear

void wyvern
#

I’m starting to agree with the whole “post sync cringe” idea

zealous karma
#

Silver I thank you so much

#

For being an absolutely bonkers unit

#

It might take you 2 syncs to kill Aaron F2P but man you obliterated that stage

#

24K first sync is very poggers

void wyvern
#

Aaron lives 1st sync?

#

That’s a surprise

keen jasper
#

I appreciate him much more now

void wyvern
#

Silver’s power boost made him so good. Self sufficiency and a huge multiplier.

zealous karma
#

BP Janine please have a defensive stat for once

#

This is so close…

#

I’m not going to torture myself with +6 evasion hacks nor would I bestow that on an F2P player

#

Hmm what else can I use as a support

#

What are the odds of koga and Janine both not poisoning a target actually dies

void wyvern
#

You could do Roxanne, Janine, and Koga and try to do a second sync nuke

zealous karma
#

I’m going to bring Cheryl cause she has potioks but ye same idea

void wyvern
#

I was originally thinking lodge Elesa as she also has adren but alas.

#

Not F2P

zealous karma
#

She’s F2P but at the same time she isn’t

void wyvern
#

Not easily accessible

zealous karma
#

I don’t like lodge pairs because they require huge investment and time tjay not everyone is guranteed I’m still only on my 2nd lodge character and not done with them alveit they’re still technically available, elesa is a Gen pool which almost everyone has but you do get her for free so she’s technically F2P but what about the people who haven’t finished elesa in Lodge or don’t have elesa period that’s why I don’t like lodge pairs for F2P even if they’re like Rosa or silver

bright furnace
#

You just have to do the 6 interactions a day

zealous karma
#

I have been doing 6 interactions

#

Still on my second lodge unit lel

bright furnace
#

I like blue lodge pair for example

#

Are you using the items..

zealous karma
#

Ye

#

I get 6 levels a day

peak stirrup
#

Aaron’s endurance doesn’t account for sync, does it?
Ours doesn’t but I don’t remember for NPCs

void wyvern
#

The enemies passives still follow the same rules as ours.

#

Slightly annoyed I had to use LuSSamine. I wanted to save her and win with Caitlin but I couldn’t survive first enemy sync.

peak stirrup
#

I could’ve sworn my second SS Red sync killed him, but he noped on me and killed me before I could kill him

mellow linden
#

He could’ve had a sliver of health left or something, because Sync does in fact ignore the endure effect

zealous karma
#

This is 100% doable with the team I have just need to quad queue moyai

frosty axle
zealous karma
#

I’ve been doing lodge every day lel

#

For 6 interactions

lunar meadow
#

I'm finishing up my 7th unit, maybe tomorrow. And sycamore is at 25 (interrupted him to start Elesa)

And I've missed two days I think

#

I average 160 points per interaction, 6 a day.

If I removed silver, I'd probably average like 180-185 a day. Silver wouldn't even stay long enough for me to gift most days, leaving at 93/94

frosty axle
lunar meadow
#

Raihan, Victor, and Bede are about the only base units I don't have

fringe valve
#

Like steven didn't even sync and the mid is already dead LUL

void wyvern
#

SS Steven SophoKEK

tired sleet
#

I feel so incomplete without turn order indicator VolknerDed

upper mantle
#

These teams should be fine for 2k CS right?
SS hilda / SS blue / SS may (for aaron)
SS Steven / SS Brendan / Bianca (for flint)
SST Red / Skyla / SS leaf (for bertha)
Burgh / Fall caitlin / Ash (for lucian)
Fall iris / SSA cynthia / Fall alister (for cynthia)

sick stump
#

Lucian has Wise Entry x2, so Physical attacks are recommended for that stage. Perhaps you could switch SSTRed and Ash around? Cynthia, Flint and Aaron you are more than fine on however.

upper mantle
#

Alright thanks, I'll do that ^^

sick stump
#

(Additionally, Lucian lowers your Special Attack on entry, however he has low resistance to defense debuffs, so perhaps bring someone who is good at debuffing defense such as Nanu, BP!Clemont or Tech Magneton?)

sick stump
zealous karma
#

My F2P clear video is almost done thankfully

sick stump
#

Oooh! Good luck with the rest of it! ^-^

void wyvern
upper mantle
sick stump
#

that COULD work, I'd have to check her grid in terms of defense debuffing

void wyvern
#

Razor shell. I don’t recall if she has on a roll though

sick stump
#

Using a unit with Screech would be better on gauge though, right?

void wyvern
#

Rosa does work. But it’s super expensive as they’ve pointed out.

sick stump
#

Also wouldn't Razor Shell only lower Def by one stat rank instead of the two from Screech?

upper mantle
#

true, just figured she'd work better since she hits like a truck after getting defenses low.

void wyvern
#

BP Celmont/Nanu would likely give you better results.

sick stump
#

they're both free and easily accessible, you should have Nanu

the extra dps is nice but it's likely you're not gonna need it, due to how good SSTRed is

upper mantle
#

kk

void wyvern
#

Bolt tackle solves a lot of problems

sick stump
#

Additionally, I'm fairly certain Nanu has some Aggravation tiles for Bite, meaning you might be able to get a flinch off which could be super valuable

void wyvern
#

I need a support who raises physical attack, special def, and crit.

sick stump
#

Aaron does, with Def Order and his TM

#

however that is kind of time consuming I appreciate

void wyvern
sick stump
#

He doesn't??

void wyvern
#

He does not

sick stump
#

Damn, typical Dark type L

void wyvern
#

Nanu probably nukes like crazy though

#

shame that isn’t too relevant this week

#

Yeah he’s got relentless/Double Down/ Crit sync

sick stump
#

Also, wouldn't the Bertha team want someone who can change weather?

void wyvern
#

It’s not required. But it does help if your support can’t take hits

sick stump
#

Skyla might be ok, depends really

void wyvern
#

It depends on whether or not I need to go to post sync or if nolands second sync actually finishes mid

austere quest
#

I need to wait for next week to do 10k

#

Hopefully the next week is Johto or whatever is left

#

Would like to see Kalos get a CS

modest notch
#

I'm never picking physical weakness on a bug stage ever again

#

holy fuck lucian is annoying to fight against

#

is there no way to cancel his healing?

#

this shit is actually torture

mellow linden
modest notch
#

well that's what round 4 is

#

so now I'm stuck

#

cuz this prick keeps outhealing me

sick stump
#

Isn't R4 ideal for Lucian...?

mellow linden
#

It is, that's why I'm confused as to why they're so upset about it

mellow linden
modest notch
#

because I can't kill him?

mellow linden
#

What team are you using and is it Hard Mode or Master Mode?

sick stump
#

That isn't down to the parameters however, what units are you using?

modest notch
#

aura cynthia / physical striker / aaron

#

I literally don't have the dps

mellow linden
#

You have Bea?

modest notch
#

yes

mellow linden
#

Throw Bea at him. Also, is it Hard Mode or Master Mode, and if Master Mode what point parameters are you using?

modest notch
#

bea dies to sync 2

mellow linden
#

Lucian is Syncing twice?

#

Yeah, something's off here

#

Hard Mode or Master Mode and what parameters are you using (if Master Mode)? Also, are you making sure to triple queue?

modest notch
#

I turned on phy dmg red, sp dmg red, sync count -1, atk and sp atk +1, def and sp def +1, no status, no stat red, str +1, sync +5, atk and sp atk +3, def and sp def +3, ally heal -5, str +2 and move gauge -2

#

these are the parameters I typically use every week

#

haven't had any trouble on a long while

steel kelp
#

how are you guys already doing MM?

mellow linden
trail smelt
mellow linden
trail smelt
#

We already unlocked it the first time it dropped

modest notch
steel kelp
#

so you can just do MM week one if its a rerun?

trail smelt
#

Yeah if you already got the type medal for the region

mellow linden
trail smelt
#

Lucian also shouldn’t hit that hard really

modest notch
#

lucian heals 2k per tick, bea does around 3k. So Lucian just outheals me straight up

modest notch
#

not enough dps

mellow linden
#

In addition to the "are you triple queueing" question, do you maybe have Hop or 3/5 Hilbert/Sonia available? They'd be more gauge friendly than Aaron (especially Hilbert and Sonia since they boost Speed)

modest notch
#

which hilbert?

#

samurott?

mellow linden
#

Regular one, with Samurott

modest notch
#

sonia is 2/5, hilb is 5/5

mellow linden
#

Hilbert is probably better than Aaron then

And again, are you triple queueing?

#

Do you even know what triple queueing is? Because I still haven't gotten an answer about that

modest notch
#

trying to

sick anvil
#

shock wdym by trying to

steel kelp
#

you either do it or you dont

sick anvil
#

unless it's quad queue I can understand but triple queue...

mellow linden
#

Try using one of the recommended parameters in pins (pre-Sync or post-Sync, either is probably fine), make sure Bea is getting the Attack buffs she needs, and make sure you’re triple queueing. Is SSA Cynthia EX?

modest notch
#

yes

#

OOOOOOOOOO HE DED

#

jesus finally

mellow linden
#

SSA Cynthia + Bea + a good 2nd Support is basically a cheat code

#

And reliably triple queueing is vital to success in this game

steel kelp
#

is bea the best fighting unit?

modest notch
mellow linden
#

SC Diantha is way more damage

steel kelp
#

I know im just asking if there are other fighting strikers better

#

ah

#

but sc almost never rerun?

mellow linden
sick anvil
#

it did a while ago, for the first time

mellow linden
void wyvern
#

Sc dianthia has crazy high damage

zealous karma
#

Even without fighting zone which is nice to add

void wyvern
#

@zealous karma what was your strat for Lucian?

zealous karma
#

Do you mean the video I recorded or what I just used?

#

If you’d like to see what I did I recorded it

#

But I mainly was

#

DPS with Noland sync nuke with bugsy

void wyvern
sick anvil
#

btw, is it weird using SC Diantha + a striker like Wally or SC Guzma?

void wyvern
#

You would need a really good speed support.

zealous karma
void wyvern
#

Lemme try noland dps bugsy nuke see how well it goes.

zealous karma
#

I included the grids in #community-content

#

Right after the clear

sick anvil
void wyvern
#

Thank you for your hard work.

void wyvern
#

Is dianthia 3/5? If so nuking with her will yield better results.

zealous karma
#

Oh thanks lel I very rarely do F2P clearsRileyHaha

void wyvern
sick anvil
#

I know FB is better but it's quite annoying to set up :x

#

Hopefully he'll get a good grid expansion

zealous karma
sick anvil
#

yup

zealous karma
void wyvern
zealous karma
#

True

bright furnace
#

F2P has some folks doing it like gaming Eevee

#

Some do the spinner like kailux

zealous karma
#

I did this clear as a challenge run as I have so many ex’s that the games easy

bright furnace
#

Damn you flexing lol

void wyvern
#

Everyone has a different thought process behind their teams. I hope you keep sharing yours. Inspiration and conversation is always appreciated.

zealous karma
#

Albeit this CS was very easy

void wyvern
#

Yeah, the round parameters were super forgiving

bright furnace
#

Joey there’s also other theme team ideas

#

If you don’t just wanna F2P every week

zealous karma
void wyvern
bright furnace
#

Oh that’s a good idea

#

CS gauntlet

#

You’re basically planning all 4 weeks

void wyvern
#

Also I have to on type everything.

bright furnace
#

Good luck with fairy lol

void wyvern
#

I have 3/5 dianthia 3/5 ss wally

zealous karma
void wyvern
#

But fuck that. Mina.

zealous karma
#

I beat cynthia with PalSerena

undone ether
#

Guzma for me ;-;

bright furnace
#

Mina is tricky from experience

#

It’s the sides

void wyvern
#

Actually, I’ve been using Valerie a lot

undone ether
#

i can't do Noland 😭

zealous karma
#

I recently used her for a No Ex challenge run and that was the easiest one

zealous karma
undone ether
#

would really be ncie if he has EX

zealous karma
#

Bugsy should get it first

#

(:

undone ether
#

nah i have a lot of sync orbs

void wyvern
#

Try doing a support ex instead of syncing with noland

#

So you aren’t losing the fury cutter stacks

#

Sonia noland bug zone/additional support

zealous karma
#

I used@hop since he’s basically F2P sonia and synced with bugsy cause his nuke is quite strong

simple storm
#

could physical lusamine clear lucian

undone ether
#

its more like, how to get him to do a lotta damage 😦

simple storm
#

with like ssa cynthia for defense

undone ether
#

cuz my EX 5/5 Guzma says "I am here to punch really really hard"

void wyvern
#

Actually, let me try a fury cutter setup.

zealous karma
#

As DPS

#

💀

undone ether
#

should i 5star 20/20 Noland? 😦

simple storm

lol

zealous karma
simple storm

ill offtype with red

Mine was 4*

undone ether

HUM

zealous karma
#

I’m assuming SST

void wyvern
#

What does HUM and SST mean?

zealous karma
#

SST is Sygna suit Thunderbolt

undone ether
#

i think before i use Noland, i'd probably wait for his EX

zealous karma
#

He’s good without one

formal vigil
#

Just do furry cutter build

undone ether
#

he has Inertia yeah? D:

zealous karma
#

He does

#

But sync resets fury cutter

undone ether
#

but Fury Cutter is missing

#

;-;

formal vigil
#

He has accuracy tiles

zealous karma
#

Grab the +5 accuracy node

undone ether
#

maybe next time .-.

zealous karma
undone ether
#

hum

#

i beat R4 Lucian already .-.

#

Guzma + Aaron

#

(with Yamper i think)

zealous karma
#

Ah

simple storm
#

guzma aaron seems nice ill try it

undone ether
#

actually

#

i could redo the thing again

#

but with Noland

zealous karma
undone ether
#

same team, mostly cuz Aaron +1 Acc as well

zealous karma
#

Guzma is not a solo one unit

#

He was made for dual strike

void wyvern
#

not having aaaron is causing me to want to attack order my wall

zealous karma
#

Aaron is very replaceable lel

#

I have an ex one because I thought I’d use him a lot

#

But now that Kris has accuracy entry

#

Idk where I’ll use him outside of gauntlet lel

mellow linden
#

He’s basically another Hilbert

void wyvern
#

Provide replacement ideas that are not Hilbert

zealous karma
#

I do have every physical support unit that can buff crit and Atk EX’d already so lel

mellow linden
zealous karma
#

Hop

mellow linden
#

3/5+ Sonia

#

2/5+ Aaron

void wyvern

No aaron

#

But Sonia works

#

Thank you BerthaCozy

simple storm
zealous karma
#

Noland happy face

#

I didn’t know boland was this good

void wyvern
#

Bugsy!

zealous karma
#

But I’m not touching Lusamine again

simple storm
#

no bugsy

zealous karma
#

Bugsy and Guzma kinda do the same thing

simple storm
#

noland i sync or just fury cutter

zealous karma
#

Beedrill

#

Just fury cutter Guzma sync

void wyvern
simple storm
#

ok

zealous karma
#

I used to use lusamine all the time

#

Genuinely painful

#

It took me 30 minutes when I Hilbert was already taken

simple storm
#

i need to quadqueue to win tho

#

sadge

zealous karma
#

I got lucky with staggering

#

Bug was the easiest fight this week

void wyvern
#

How many times did you get lucky with staggering?

trail smelt
#

I was fine with solo Guzma haha

#

Double support single striker comp

toxic cobalt
void wyvern
#

It’s impressive to me how some of you do F2P runs on Sinnoh CS

simple storm
#

i cant clear ffs

zealous karma

That’s lucky enough

simple storm

guzma needs ex?

#

or can i solo with noland

toxic cobalt
zealous karma
toxic cobalt
#

Rich did you video?

zealous karma
#

Ye I did

void wyvern
#

Show video?

toxic cobalt
#

Does the video have the Noland grid?

zealous karma
#

#1015843845008793690 scroll Just a bit

#

It did ye

void wyvern
#

Does the video include screaming during noland gaming?

zealous karma
#

No ?

zealous karma
toxic cobalt
#

Sounds like bullying but sure

void wyvern
#

My luck on mpr is non existent

toxic cobalt
#

I’m going to say Bugsy did all the work on that clear Rich

zealous karma
#

Bugsy did the syncing Noland did DPS

toxic cobalt
zealous karma
#

Mood

#

It’s MPR2 right?

void wyvern
#

Opted for Sonia

#

Because Noland hitting 7k with fury cutter is hot

zealous karma
#

Having support Ex definitely helps lel

void wyvern
#

Although I now realize I’m not running staggering like a dummy

toxic cobalt
#

Only a 20% chance iirc

void wyvern
#

20% is better than 0%

#

And I don’t need berserker

warm nymph
#

Can someone help me make a team to beat Flint, Lucian, and Cynthia and achieve master mode?

mellow linden
#

Were you around for the 1st run of Sinnoh CS?

warm nymph
#

I dont think so

mellow linden
#

Then you won’t be able to unlock Master Mode this week. You need to get all 18 types on the type medal, and at most you can only get 15 in 1 week

warm nymph
#

Oh ok

mellow linden
#

Anyway, show us your roster (ideally screenshot from the move level menu) and let us know who you used already

#

That way we can give the best possible advice

warm nymph
#

Ok

void wyvern
warm nymph
simple storm
#

ok i did it with only guzma, ssa cynth and cred for the sync accel

mellow linden
warm nymph
#

Ok

void wyvern
#

Masters day grids go crazy

toxic cobalt
#

Also your spare :corb: count it helpful

#

Huh why didn’t that work

mellow linden
#

Maybe it needs to be capitalized?

void wyvern
#

It does

warm nymph
#

Everything that is crossed out i have used

simple storm
#

what stage u wanna clear

warm nymph
#

Um flint, lucian, and cynthia

void wyvern
#

On round 3?

#

well duh

warm nymph
#

Yes pls

simple storm
#

for flint u can use lucian, mewtwo and sabrina

#

for lucian use ss hilbert

#

and for cynthia u can use kyogre, dojo gloria and any support ex u have

white gale
#

if my only limited Fairy unit is SS Wally, what would be my best team against Cynthia next week? SS Wally + Mina + support that fully buffs Mina? (Sorry if this has already been asked)

mellow linden
#

Could do Guzma instead of SS Hilbert because of how Bug weak Lucian works

mellow linden
#

It’s only Hard Mode though

#

So probably doesn’t matter

void wyvern
#

Also trying to unlock master mode so slotting in additional types helps

simple storm
#

its hard mode

#

that changes things
