I used noland for dps and bugsy for sync
Def drops from twinneedle are a godsend too
Do bugsy and Noland pair well?
Anyway, Fall Iris + Lucy + Sonia is a good team
Someone else gets it that Lucy is good
It's more of both paired well with Aaron
The only support I don’t have
Both of those statements are fact, yes
Tbh it's only aaron because bug theme
Anyone who can buff atk crit can do
He doesn’t get mpr till 2/5 though.

Also even if it isn't Noland and bugsy can buff theirs
Nah just lucky with sinnoh tix 🙂
What do you mean? You can get stuff other than fantina from ticket scout?
Yes they updated them
I meant to sound a litttttle more sarcastic, sorry
Ah lol
I’ve had the worst ticket scout luck. So much so I’m actually considering spending the 3k paid to pick Aaron
what grid you guys put in for aaron?
lmao same, just one more move lvl for full grid options
Honestly that’s really all you need. If no bug zone take move gauge refresh on defend order.
mpr?
Move point refresh
oh
The red tile that has a chance of refunding usage.
You can only use heal order once, even with grid
Dawn also suffers in the same boat.
I use Noland solo nuke, fury cutter still hits hard
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
thats like trying to bring back an unressurectable being lol
I wish Aaron took a similar route like dawn and got dps tiles
Wouldn't it make him worse
I wanna see attack order hit mega numbers
Attack order is a 4 bar move
3
You're better off spamming defend order
Oh it looks like 4 in my 4 bar gauge in mm mb lol
This is so accurate it hurts.
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.
Is there a way for her to buff crit
The optimal team for dawn if you want her to go solo is Hilbert dawn C!Iris
Lmao. It’s definitely not optimal. But I’m more into fun creations these days
Pecking order
If i go for fun in grass i use mallow
Tsareena is my fav grass type
I respect. I ex’d mallow right before Lyra came out and now poor mallow is in the corner.
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
I prefer fun setups like this over doing what simply works.
I require an alternate fire strikers other than silver and Anni n and SS Hilda that will work against Fire weak Aaron.
Ss.. red?
Go with the ogs
Failing that go serena and sleep that mofo into oblivion
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
Despite playing since launch. I do not have SS red.
But I will try Serena
Tips for this stage
I think the direction here was for someone else
For that it'd be #1009557516369281075
Thanks to Naganadel I can finally mono-poison 😅
I still mono poison without Naganadel, thanks to Looker
who are naganadels best pals for a mono-poison team?
ive been using koga and then changing the 3rd unit around
I guess BP Janine and...I guess Lucy or Koga
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)
Fall Caitlin as the Support, excellent taste
i will never not use fCait and fIris together because of their dialogue which warms my heart
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
yeah that pin is a good addition thx november
omg 😂
the meme lives on
if only our Flint could do that
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
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
gonna look into that
It's mainly just "Hey, I did this" with minor commentary
for a monotype team there is unfortunately only one actual poison support
I can't believe people are pinging me just to abuse my Noland run 
Noland does need the support for sure
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.
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
I'm glad we finally got Melony and Lapras as a ice gen pool support.
She's not great, but she's good enough.
Ahh alright thank you for the info
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
is she worth the ex?
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
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
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)
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
don't
mono poison sucks
I just used one of the rats snd brought naganadel with me for fun
Looking at her 3/5 grid, I think she'd be a really good EX target.
But def not at 1/5
BP Janine for Team Sharp Entry and Sp. Atk. boost, that's it I guess
This was my monotype poison team this week. Last time it was Koga instead of Lucy
Did Koga have MG9?
Mind Games 9 sorry
I think so. He was 3/5
Would this team be good enough to deal with 2k post sync Cynthia?
More concerned abt how Hilbert tanking tbh
Should be fine
Cynthia is a special attacker
Why are you using Mina?
No other physical fairy
Wait is this for next week
Yes
I would've brought a special tank in the slot of SSWally but I do want that fairy zone to be around
Flint is making me very angry
3/5 SSHilbert. Crit is there.
Im just trying to get my calem clear damnit STOP KILLING SSDAWN
He is not a special buffer
No need. SSWally will be a utility unit. Mina will be the primary striker.
Do you use half hp at start?
my F2P Sinnoh 10k run is up now https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1039196490935062538
My teams next week
Y’all need to calm down with the teams for next week, Sinnoh CS just started
He really is a bomb
will flint next week be like that too?
Iirc Rock weak Flint isn’t as high damage as Psychic weak Flint
do we know their entry yet
Wdym
like if physical or special is recommended against each of them
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
click this
Ah
oh thanks
then the arrow on the right to navigate to next week
Yeah, check pomatools. Not all of them have resistances like that
In fact, I think Steel weak Bertha is the only Bertha iteration to have one of the entries
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
Iirc Lucian has the most Entry passives
Sun is in the air?
No, sandstorm time
what i see is flint and cynthia we want physical atker
my SS Brock EX can't wait
Wise entry x2? N-No Roxanne?
Pretty much, yeah
Olivia is queen for Rock weak Flint
gonna offtype cynthia then, xerneas moonblast is special
Oliva has aged incredibly well.
You could probably use Mina, actually
victini can dual strike with non powerboosted silver?
Probably could, yeah
awesome
Could but Sun would probably be better for sufficiency.
But tbh you probably don’t need to dual strike with SS Hilda
Something like her + tank + Blaine/SS Erika/SS Morty should be fine
okie!
this look good?
wally, olivia and rosa for the last 3 typing required
maybe ss blue to bertha?
Why Wally?
Is that next week?
yes it is
Ash's tm is instant +6 spatk yeah?
Assuming it's above 50% HP
But at least it's max crit
Should be more than fine for Hard, though unless you need Bug for type medal maybe use Candice instead of SS Hilbert for Hail
What would kukui be doing in rock type? Leer spam?
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.
Was considering ss blue over ss hilbert, for Tank purpose
That’s what I had in mind cause I didn’t know what to include
Falkner should be a competent enough tank for Hard Mode
Especially with Ghetsis debuffs
I guess I could throw palossand in there
Is palossand your only sand setter?
Indeed he is
Aight aight
No Bertha?
Nope :;(
Yeah Olivia under sand should be good enough to take care of flint
Just need the accuracy buff from her tm
I didnt opt palossand because I dont like her, but I guess if it overwrites sun, it’s no bad
Is Oliva 3/5?
*not
She is
Running sandless grid
Can change to sand grid once I throw a acerola in there
Would you like a sand grid so you can save the Preset?
Not the one in the sync grid doc?
You guys have a grid doc?
It’s in #1006331343300473022

Sync Grid Builds & Tier List - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vF42uzF-xpkcfIU2gVEY4Dl7sS_I3ITj8g5X2lo1usA/edit?usp=sharing
Sync Grid Builds / Lucky Skills / Tier List Hey guys, Spark here! This document includes minimal cost builds along with suggested full builds at various Sync levels (focusing on 2/5 and 3/5 because at 1/5 you can pretty much take the whole grid anyway). The minimal cost builds are what I consi...
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.
From my experience this wasn't much of an issue
With ash going bazinga I agree.
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
Smh players these days with their zeus rodents. Back in my day I had to use non-EX Hau
Now my EX Hau is back with a vengeance!
Does ash have passive ignore?
No
So you’ll be fighting an up hill battle with that team
Wdym, I have teams ready for the whole month.
Both Master Fair Pikachus don't recognize hills.
They walk straight through mountains
This is completely accurate.
I have teams for all CS ever...
Ikr, I plan my teams a day before CS 
At the same time I do the writeups
Nov hard carries
I haven't planned a team for CS for well over a year
I'm not in that level yet. Also apart from Sinnoh and Hoenn I just wing it.
Mono type every week. I have 18 teams ready to go
My pleasure
I check whose funny. If they’re underused and cool. That’s my team.
Flint rage. Finally I caught one.
Well most of my CS teams are more or less the same depending on type weakness, I just switch the supports around. Sinnoh and Hoenn needed some adjustments though
Rage at my own flint, not the enemy.

That's even better
The lengths players go to, self-imposing challenges...
I just do my casual 10k then ditch
But that’s what makes the game fun.
#1011619113501720586
I can't re-use things when they only have one typing 
Then I lurk here for the rest of the week answering questions lol
Likewise, although I'm feeling a huge satisfaction destroying Sinnoh.
hope you don’t mind me joining you
You're welcome.
Mono type
Mono region
Full support
5x toxic stall
Tons of fun self imposed and totally not painful challenges....
Full support sounds stupid fun
Emphasis on the "not painful".
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.
I had something weird happen. I was able to quad que against aaron on turn 1
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
Lana is Water type Sync though
Lana’s primary damage is leech life
pain again
thank god Bertha doesn't have sentry entry but i can't recall who did
it was Hoenn no?
Steel weak glacia
Steel weak Glacia is pain
The stage that made us thought, "hey, maybe we'd get doom desire jirachi for hoenn va part 2?"
Bertha traumatized me for going in blind without looking at my rounds and i ended up with a Half Sync round on HS1
Or "hey, maybe we'll finally get a raihan rerun?"
Haha
I love the way that stage basically invalidated 90% of the steel roster
yeah
Glacia steel weak I presume?
Smh this is why you don't go blind for sinnoh and hoenn
I SPENT 30 MINUTES WRITING SUMMARIES 
What was the strategy to beat that?
not do it on half sync round lol
Just have beeg damage
Give up and cry. Got it.
And oneshot her on first nuke or sth
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
I’m a huge fan of the sinnoh cs having more impactful passives like Bertha head start and Aaron endurance.
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
Now that my fear of bug-weak lucian has been eradicated, I just have 1 more fear
Fairy-weak Cynthia
Fine, I'll unbench mina finally
Why does no one have good fairy strikers?
I only have all the free and genpool ones
lyrapuff was just there to be cute, 1/5 trash
Visuals. Got it.
🤣
Sonia same, not necessary, just any ramp up atk/crit to help Mina is fine
important is debuffing -6
for pecking order
Mina just works
Ok now the age-old question: how did you survive the onslaught of the sides after mid dies
they get shredded
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
Play Rough on-type
this is my new favorite stall team it’s really good, got 10k with this. also fairly f2p friendly (if you chose ss leaf as your free kantrio anyways lol)
why Lillie?
...I think I'll just have my EX Dawn for first sync and hopefully get that sweet sweet pecking order nuke from her too
Lillie is janine plus trap
Ss leaf is the least recommended and she hasn't had a proper rerun for a while 
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
Lillie can debuff spatk & speed?
not speed
i mean Morty already has synchro heal too tbh
Not speed. But you don't need speed
Flint or Bertha next?
BP Morty is a stall champ.
yea dunno why u would debuff speed when u want them to attack you
so they can take poison damage
no i was asking just for debuffs knowing
but yea she can debuff sp atk
but uh
i dont run synchro healing on bp morty
I debuff speed to get more sync heals off
wait what
why not
BP Morty should be able to get his refreshes and synchro heal tiles
dont feel like regridding off astonish aggra LOL
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
So funny how there was a SSR SSB and… Alder banner
Lucy got better at stalling too btw
While SSR and SSB reran repeatedly this year
dena rerun ss leaf challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!)
Let me go to sleep and cry over my girl, good night everyone
Goodnight Nov
And good luck for sinnoh cs, welcome to this fun hell
my favorite stalling pair still stands to be Erika BP
idk why people never play her
We’ll hold down to the Fort for you!
she has both trap and toxic and has pokey traps
plus sustain and defenses
Bp Erika is just genuinely underrated.
first aid 4
First aid 4 on stall is so nice.
give her healthy healing also and bam
Compared to?
wdym weak
All my other poison inflictors
Frail
Lucy grid is good competition now
Yeah frail
Thank you!
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
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
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
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
BP Erika’s true flaw is her actual move damage is doodoo
Because I stopped stalling after my all stall 10k week 😅
She’s good! Can do actual chip damage.
Ya, only having Absorb and not nearly enough self healing from it due to the low damage. She might as well have tackle 🤷♂️
I prefer Lucy for doing what she was made to do sync nuke
Weirdly, I think EriTangela has a high damage sync move
Infestation isn’t gonna do much for you either on the damage front
Doesn’t absorb heal like 1HP?
2 if you’re lucky
yeah that's why healthy healing 
Even with like 5 sync buffs, absorb is healing like 4 health lol
I want Ariados to get a grid. Our only venom drench unit that could.
Imagine adding "accuracy drop" to venom drench
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
Janine MPr when?
Do I ex Lyra so I have a 3rd Sun setter for my stupid challenge knowing I’ll never use her again?
Mew/Venusaur/Starmie was my first stall team.
Then I dropped Mew for Ariados
I have SS morty
one of the best role buff compression in the game
well, just have both lol
they pair super well
She works well with all sun doesn’t she?

I think there's better options to run on sun teams
So the general agreement is yes
The answer to “SS Morty or Lyra” quite literally is “por que no los dos?”
She does, but she's very squishy if she's the only support.
So if she is tanking and Rapidash/Leafeon is setting sun, you have to win fast.
https://i.imgur.com/24H83TJ.png Lyra is love
Same, but Sceptile instead of Decidueye
rare speed buffer
rare atk + spatk buffer
rare crit buffer
If you have morty, you'll get more value of running a dual strike team than using lyra
dual strike is overrated, but it's up to preference
But then you lose the value of using Lyra
This one’s on you, dreamy.
I'm more of a tri-support guy
Now watch this team do absolutely nothing and I wasted 19 power ups
sure crit and +3 in each
Ex costume or no?
i'm a Lillie 150 enjoyer but Lyra has +3 crit, +6 atk spatk and speed it's unheard of
that's 5 turns
@tribal agate
I just posted my all support clear from CS in September 😅
Lyra is frail but Lillie is SO SLOW WHY IS THAT SPEED A THING
Lillie just set you up all you need in 2
but Lillie is love for Synchro Healing and Catalytic Cure and Unfortuitous 9
Which Lillie are you talking about???
OG one, Clefairy
regular
OG Lillie is one of the slowest pair in the game
but yeah her fast hyper offensive setup is amazing
yep
and LG MVP also
They gave all her speed to Ribombee and Polteageist
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
Lillie has adrenaline? Based
Same.
Pre-sync is for whales. Second sync is for support mains!
her grid is pretty nice tbh
Toughen Up, Tighten Up, Catalytic Cure, Unfortuitous 9
synchro heal is innate
Maybe I need to give her another chance
brutal clarity

This better work
there was a strat I used with Gardenia
Lyra slot 1 imo
Roxanne always works
I’m a weirdo. My tank is on the left
sure, usually #1010274591601598555 but it's fine since it's in context
Inspiration
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT SS ERIKA NOOOOOOOO
Tank on the right like God intended
SS Erika is just 2/5
M-My 19 power ups….
so she's not the main focus lol
SS Erika even at 1/5 always incredibly surprised me with her DPS
but yeah that Gardenia outdamaging her
beautiful
yeah, but I meant that she was not used as the main damage lol

i'm waiting to see Apple Crab's clear with their new Lyra and i'm off
hopefully she serves you well
Yeah it was first try
hehehe
also just apple or crab will do
This server is pretty big. Probably the biggest one I’ve been in.
But wow, EX Lyra is actually great.
she is!
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.
LG coming up for materials
Noland doesn’t struggle 🦑 especially when paired with bugsy used him for my F2P big clear it was nice
Aaron you’re very funny!
I’m deleting the game 😎
well Aurchos did a F2P run and he did in fact struggle
it's not like it's impossible, but it ain't ez win either
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
without ex but I did it fine
with EX
I used hop bugsy Noland
yeah ik i've been praising Noland's powers earlier
Was pretty easy
They similar in damage when I tested both syncs
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
I didn't need to use Mesprit on Flint but wanted to for fun
We have no good grass units I want to cry
Bulbasaur and Hooh do fine
can't believe how much damage Bulbasaur leaf storm does with multipliers seems better than Sceptile
I don’t have bulbasaur and I don’t like the lodge pairs for F2P
So guessing you used Hooh on fire weak one?
as long as sandstorm is gone bertha is simple
so shouldn't be an issue
next week ground is going to be interesting
wouldn't you have survived the sync?
I don’t do post sync and Bertha did like 15K to everyone
I love doing post sync sometimes.
Although in sinnoh cs. That would require def/spdef buffs sooooo.
Post sync is the biggest thing i hate ever lel
same
post sync is cringe
So true
How is a 13 second video “to big@ apparently 8MB is to much for a level 3 server moyai
Don’t question it mate
And then my discord crashed I love this app
I have to re-record 3 of the clears 
not needed as long as u try hard enough

I rarely post sync in my theme clears 🦦
altho this sinnoh cs really took my time
my last post sync was like jan/feb 2021
Gloria and zacian in the corner because no post sync
yea
i only used zacian in less than 3-4 times
thats how rare
and is for kanto cs which is the easiest
I had to post sync with Zacian for 15K
sinnoh cs really made me use last resort offtype teams
i agree sinnoh cs is the hardest to pre sync
I just spam shit like deoxys and sst red
Is special or physical better vs Lucian
Probably have to do him Round 4 then
ex Sonia / N / sst red kills lucian fairly comfortably after the support ex sync
I am so mad at this Bertha fight
It’s not even hard
I’m just getting memed on by rng
bertha was very easy w/ sslyra/ ex bren / marley
might be able to replace ss lyra w/ some sun setter for charging sun
Do you try themes tho. No themes yeah you should avoid post sync. But some themes are tricky and don’t want to pray to RNGesus for 10 hours
Richu giving everyone Victor confirmed
TBF I think you can sub ss lyra for ss erika
you just want dps on bren
no ex brendan?
Richu trying F2P clear
I’m starting to agree with the whole “post sync cringe” idea
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
Silver be having them multipliers and SEUN
I appreciate him much more now
Silver’s power boost made him so good. Self sufficiency and a huge multiplier.
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
You could do Roxanne, Janine, and Koga and try to do a second sync nuke
I’m going to bring Cheryl cause she has potioks but ye same idea
She’s F2P but at the same time she isn’t
Not easily accessible
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
You just have to do the 6 interactions a day
Aaron’s endurance doesn’t account for sync, does it?
Ours doesn’t but I don’t remember for NPCs
That’s correct
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.
I could’ve sworn my second SS Red sync killed him, but he noped on me and killed me before I could kill him
He could’ve had a sliver of health left or something, because Sync does in fact ignore the endure effect
Like what cobalt said and could’ve not crit
This is 100% doable with the team I have just need to quad queue moyai
did you not do lodge since the start and 6 levels for 6 interactions isn't great for average?
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
I think I am on my 8th had to stop doing Marnie for Elesa
Joltik (84 now) and Sycasaur (25 now) are my 7th and 8th.
I don't have Raihan, so no Gigalith anytime soon
Raihan, Victor, and Bede are about the only base units I don't have
Can we talk about how stupid this is?
Like steven didn't even sync and the mid is already dead 
SS Steven 
I feel so incomplete without turn order indicator 
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)
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.
Alright thanks, I'll do that ^^
(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?)
No problem! If you have any issues we're always here to help
My F2P clear video is almost done thankfully
Oooh! Good luck with the rest of it! ^-^
The HUD?
Did you find a solution to Poison Cynthia?
I have lodge rosa at 5/5 so that might work
that COULD work, I'd have to check her grid in terms of defense debuffing
Razor shell. I don’t recall if she has on a roll though
she does
Using a unit with Screech would be better on gauge though, right?
Rosa does work. But it’s super expensive as they’ve pointed out.
Also wouldn't Razor Shell only lower Def by one stat rank instead of the two from Screech?
true, just figured she'd work better since she hits like a truck after getting defenses low.
BP Celmont/Nanu would likely give you better results.
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
kk
Bolt tackle solves a lot of problems
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
I need a support who raises physical attack, special def, and crit.
Aaron does, with Def Order and his TM
however that is kind of time consuming I appreciate
What if I told you he didn’t.
He doesn't??
He does not
Damn, typical Dark type L
Nanu probably nukes like crazy though
shame that isn’t too relevant this week
Yeah he’s got relentless/Double Down/ Crit sync
Also, wouldn't the Bertha team want someone who can change weather?
It’s not required. But it does help if your support can’t take hits
Skyla might be ok, depends really
It depends on whether or not I need to go to post sync or if nolands second sync actually finishes mid
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
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
That makes no sense considering Bug weak Lucian needs to be hit by physical moves and he himself primarily uses special moves
Isn't R4 ideal for Lucian...?
It is, that's why I'm confused as to why they're so upset about it
So you're on one of the 2 best rounds to face Lucian?
because I can't kill him?
What team are you using and is it Hard Mode or Master Mode?
That isn't down to the parameters however, what units are you using?
You have Bea?
yes
Throw Bea at him. Also, is it Hard Mode or Master Mode, and if Master Mode what point parameters are you using?
bea dies to sync 2
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?
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
how are you guys already doing MM?
Those parameters are...not great, tbh. Try the ones in the pins. Also, are you making sure to triple queue? Because Lucian should not be able to Sync twice
This is second month for Sinnoh
Sinnoh CS ran once before
We already unlocked it the first time it dropped
dawg... I can't kill him before he syncs a second time. What else can I say
so you can just do MM week one if its a rerun?
Yeah if you already got the type medal for the region
Ok, so are you triple queueing? Because SSA Cynthia + Bea should have no issues KOing him, especially with physical damage boost round parameter
Lucian also shouldn’t hit that hard really
lucian heals 2k per tick, bea does around 3k. So Lucian just outheals me straight up
Are. You. Triple. Queueing.
not enough dps
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)
Regular one, with Samurott
sonia is 2/5, hilb is 5/5
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
trying to
wdym by trying to
you either do it or you dont
unless it's quad queue I can understand but triple queue...
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?
SSA Cynthia + Bea + a good 2nd Support is basically a cheat code
And reliably triple queueing is vital to success in this game
is bea the best fighting unit?
glass cannon
Probably the best general pool Fighting damage-dealer
SC Diantha is way more damage
I know im just asking if there are other fighting strikers better
ah
but sc almost never rerun?
She really shouldn’t be with SSA Cynthia’s +6 to both defenses
it did a while ago, for the first time
Seems to be 1 run per year
Sc dianthia has crazy high damage
Even without fighting zone which is nice to add
@zealous karma what was your strat for Lucian?
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

btw, is it weird using SC Diantha + a striker like Wally or SC Guzma?
Depends. That would be an extremely gauge expensive team.
You would need a really good speed support.
Wally could be nice if he’s Ex and you can set it up well SCguzma you need heavy gauge support, I used SSMorty and still struggled
Lemme try noland dps bugsy nuke see how well it goes.
I do feel that with SCGuzma. Yes my Wally is EX and I'm using Close Combat instead of Focus Blast
Thank you for your hard work.
Use focus blast 
Is dianthia 3/5? If so nuking with her will yield better results.
Oh thanks lel I very rarely do F2P clears
You should do more. I for one greatly appreciate it.
I know FB is better but it's quite annoying to set up :x
Hopefully he'll get a good grid expansion
Wally is just difficult to setup in general a unit wanting Elio as a support is odd…
yup
There’s gamingeevee who does a lot of F2P content
But isn’t part of the fun solving the puzzle yourself? Plus its fun getting to hear about it and contribute to a community I think. And there is no single way to solve these clears.
True
I did this clear as a challenge run as I have so many ex’s that the games easy
Damn you flexing lol
Everyone has a different thought process behind their teams. I hope you keep sharing yours. Inspiration and conversation is always appreciated.
I’m just being honest lel
Albeit this CS was very easy
Yeah, the round parameters were super forgiving
Alr I’ll try and make CS clears for the more difficult CS but for smth like Kanto and unova I think those are very tome down
I’m embarking on a hellhole idea that says I can’t reuse any pair for the entirety of Sinnoh CS so I have to get creative.
Also I have to on type everything.
Good luck with fairy lol
I have 3/5 dianthia 3/5 ss wally
Based!
But fuck that. Mina.
That should beat up cynthia
I beat cynthia with PalSerena
Guzma for me ;-;
Actually, I’ve been using Valerie a lot
i can't do Noland 😭
I recently used her for a No Ex challenge run and that was the easiest one
No sync orbs?
would really be ncie if he has EX
nah i have a lot of sync orbs
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
I used@hop since he’s basically F2P sonia and synced with bugsy cause his nuke is quite strong
could physical lusamine clear lucian
its more like, how to get him to do a lotta damage 😦
with like ssa cynthia for defense
Fury cutter
cuz my EX 5/5 Guzma says "I am here to punch really really hard"
Actually, let me try a fury cutter setup.
Physical lusamine is un-ironically more difficult to use than Noland
As DPS
💀
should i 5star 20/20 Noland? 😦
No lel
ill offtype with red
Mine was 4*
HUM
I’m assuming SST
What does HUM and SST mean?
SST is Sygna suit Thunderbolt
i think before i use Noland, i'd probably wait for his EX
That doesn’t seem necessary lel
He’s good without one
Just do furry cutter build
he has Inertia yeah? D:
He has accuracy tiles
Grab the +5 accuracy node
maybe next time .-.
Ah
guzma aaron seems nice ill try it
Bring another striker along them
same team, mostly cuz Aaron +1 Acc as well
not having aaaron is causing me to want to attack order my wall
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
He’s basically another Hilbert
Provide replacement ideas that are not Hilbert
I do have every physical support unit that can buff crit and Atk EX’d already so lel
Hop
Hop
who could i bring
Bugsy!
But I’m not touching Lusamine again
no bugsy
Bugsy and Guzma kinda do the same thing
noland i sync or just fury cutter
You actually used Lusamine? You’re Crazy
ok
I used to use lusamine all the time
Genuinely painful
It took me 30 minutes when I Hilbert was already taken
How many times did you get lucky with staggering?
This is purely Noland! Nothing to do with f2p
It’s impressive to me how some of you do F2P runs on Sinnoh CS
i cant clear ffs
Once
That’s lucky enough
I staggered the last side at exactly the right moment
This was really easy F2P clear for me at least lel and I handicapped myself without lodge pairs and without limited event pairs swimisty Bluecanine etc
Rich did you video?
Ye I did
Show video?
Does the video have the Noland grid?
Does the video include screaming during noland gaming?
No ?
Can I post my team image in your thread?
Sounds like bullying but sure
I’m going to say Bugsy did all the work on that clear Rich
Bugsy did the syncing Noland did DPS
I see you use Hop
Having support Ex definitely helps lel
Although I now realize I’m not running staggering like a dummy
Only a 20% chance iirc
It’s a meme pick of the grid lel but if you’re doing DPS what else do you use
lel
Can someone help me make a team to beat Flint, Lucian, and Cynthia and achieve master mode?
Were you around for the 1st run of Sinnoh CS?
I dont think so
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
Oh ok
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
Ok

Does it have to be a certain amount of stars?
ok i did it with only guzma, ssa cynth and cred for the sync accel
Ideally your whole roster, lots of 3- and 4-stars are great
Ok
Masters day grids go crazy
Maybe it needs to be capitalized?
what stage u wanna clear
Um flint, lucian, and cynthia
Yes pls
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
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)
Could do Guzma instead of SS Hilbert because of how Bug weak Lucian works
yeah
Also trying to unlock master mode so slotting in additional types helps




that's very weird out of context
