Champion Stadium

[mellow linden]

Would lose Sleep if no Melony, but BP Morty is also good

[violet timber]

or is that Hoenn

[mellow linden]

Misty + Psyduck is also a good option

[keen jasper]

BP Morty buffs both Def. and Sp. Def.

[mellow linden]

There’s a ton of options to choose from

[void wyvern]

I’m starting to question the MM parameters

[violet timber]

doesn’t it not refresh

[void wyvern]

Maybe those are the problem.

[void wyvern]

It does

[violet timber]

possibly

[violet timber]

Oh probably my grid

yep I don’t use I See You MPR

[keen jasper]

Granted you'd be losing out on the crit buff from Melony and also the screens, but at least May can complete her own buffs

[violet timber]

replying to the wrong thing again

[keen jasper]

That was on me, not the scroll

[void wyvern]

Gio buffs crit himself. Melony is just very bulky for a special support

[violet timber]

question is, is an Aggravation grid better than TM MPR grid for Morty

[void wyvern]

Yes

[violet timber]

ah

[keen jasper]

Aggravation and TM MP refresh

[void wyvern]

Oop. Lucian can hit 99k on first sync. Fun

[boreal rose]

MistyDuck sucks

Very support sucks agaisnt flint

[violet timber]

You’d lose out on Potion MPR

[void wyvern]

If this is master mode can we see what points you are taking?

I’m 99% sure that’s where our problem lies

[boreal rose]

2k

Well. 10k total

[violet timber]

I used BP morty tho

in the post sync params

[boreal rose]

I dont have him from what i remembe

[void wyvern]

But what exactly have you selected?

[violet timber]

Wait

Are you doing R1 flint

[mellow linden]

Neither of those things are true, but ok

[full mesa]

R1 Flint is ok if you can do him. Don't scare them.

[violet timber]

ye true but they seem like they are struggling

[boreal rose]

Umm

R3

[violet timber]

oh

nvm then

what are your parameters

[boreal rose]

Basically pre sync

[violet timber]

do post sync

pre sync is when you know you have a tactical nuke that can deploy in <12 turns

I think

[boreal rose]

I never know

And i do it

[full mesa]

How did you do him 2 weeks ago?

[boreal rose]

Hard Mode

2 weeks ago i did hard mode i think

[rain imp]

Damn Bertha is tough

Any tips for a team?

Because I am very rusty turn denying with ss lyra

[full mesa]

Try again and again till you achieve it. You're using the Queen of flinch. Other than that, Hop/Skyla/Steel type striker is a good option.

Post sync.

[frosty axle]

like I did with Molayne flinch

[full mesa]

Yeah, I watched that. I couldn't for the life of me figure how to deny her turns, so I just used KGrimsley to drop her defence.

[boreal rose]

@violet timber i cant

Support go 💀

Literally

They die in SECONDS

[frosty axle]

it took a few tries then decided to go full flinch on Swanna too then beat it quickly

at least steel was slightly easier than the last time

[violet timber]

are you sure you don’t have access to BP morty

[boreal rose]

What dos he hav

[frosty axle]

Mismagius

[boreal rose]

Oh

[full mesa]

The whole challenge is. Considering we had time to prepare and level up or units. Now I'm afraid of Water weak flint. Too many damn passives that up his stats and lower our spa. Need to find a physical water unit to pre sync him.
Ash 1/5 non ex will take care of Aaron elec weak.

[boreal rose]

I have him 😐

[mellow linden]

Nessa is great for physical Water

[full mesa]

Either her or my 3/5 SSGrimsley. Alongside Sonia and May/Tech Gyarados.

But LRosa also seems interesting if I can lower his def.

[mellow linden]

I see no reason why you wouldn’t be able to

[boreal rose]

What now

[violet timber]

what move level

[boreal rose]

1/5

[hidden ore]

Water weak Flint?
Maybe Nessa, Kris, Lodge Silver?

I want to see a run with one of these

Personally will use Gloria, but Silver looks he’ll be good for this stage 🤔

[void wyvern]

Crasher wake

Is my favourite water dps

[full mesa]

I have Crasher build too. But he needs interference for his sync to deal big number.

[void wyvern]

But considering we’re going to get Kris boost next week. We should all be fine.

[full mesa]

I don't plan on building her yet.

[void wyvern]

Does molyane actually do a decent job against Bertha?

[lunar dawn]

Do I not do Bertha round 2

(wanted DR on her but also using hop sooo
doing like 2k per turn 💀)

[mellow linden]

You can if you want, without Sync accel or truly absurd amounts of damage you're doing a post-Sync clear anyways

[lunar dawn]

if I get crits does it ignore the power down

[mellow linden]

Crits ignore physical damage reduction field, yes

[lunar dawn]

Gotcha
Ty

[main crow]

Crazy how they just fixes majority of her problems in one grid update but here we are

[void wyvern]

Steel weak Bertha will always help me plug the idea of using striker Jasmine because she can go post sync

[mellow linden]

Basically the Pokemon Masters day grid expansions in a nutshell, minus Glacia I guess

[void wyvern]

They made glacia a good support

From a completely unusable support

[mellow linden]

Didn't particularly fix the majority of her issues, though

[void wyvern]

Yeah. There was definitely some faults.

[mellow linden]

Fixed enough of them to give her the nudge she needed, but it's not Kris or Karen level

[void wyvern]

Her biggest being her sync is garbage.

[zealous karma]

How’d they even fix that kit without recycling all of it

[main crow]

The best part abt them is the fact these fixes are 3/5 like sure 5/5 gen pool character is achievable through time but sometimes there are just... Some who evades you no matter what

cough 2/5 Karen still

[mellow linden]

Yeah, it's especially nice for Cynthia's

If she'd gotten her buffs any later than she did you know it would've been 4/5 and 5/5 tiles instead

[void wyvern]

I’ve never pulled a darach in my life

I hope lance and Steven get actual buffs instead of “summon more!”

[subtle forge]

They’ll get grid expansions

[main crow]

Ah yeah totally, it's great that most 3/5 grid upgrade so far are gen pools but would be really nice to get more outdated poke fairs getting this even after 4/5 grid arrival

[subtle forge]

Whether they’ll be 5/5 expansions or like Pokémon Masters Day grid expansions

Is a mystery

[void wyvern]

We’ve always gotten a power boost every masters day

Cuz we have the grid expansion for 4 and 5 but we have the power boost for the 3/5 tiles

[digital mauve]

Any tips for a R2 Flint? Using Alakazam, Musharna and Goirgeist. Getting destroyed

[austere quest]

Full Grid for Musharna and Zam?

Leading Gourgeist?

[simple storm]

its in grid doc

[austere quest]

?

I am asking them a question

Although I guess I am quite late to it

[simple storm]

oh

reading hard

[digital mauve]

Yah

Even with SSA Cynthia in that lead spot. I just get Nuked out by flamethrower

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using?

[digital mauve]

Tried using pre and post sync

[mellow linden]

Bianca + Giovanni + a Support that boosts Sp. Atk. (and ideally Sp. Def. as well) should work fine

[digital mauve]

My Giovanni isn’t EXed 😦

[mellow linden]

Shouldn't matter

[digital mauve]

I can try SC Jasmine Bianca and Gio

Suggestion on parameters for thst team?

[mellow linden]

pre-Sync if you're using Giovanni, he can't tank a Flint Sync

Oh wait, hold on

You're doing round 2

May want to try Sabrina (if she's not EXd just Sync with Giovanni) instead then

Because without something to refresh the Reflect you can't quadqueue

Might not matter though, so you can try SC Jasmine 1st and see if that works

[rigid flint]

Mmmm steel weak is being a bit of a problem

OG Red, Wikstrom and Skyla should work right?

[mellow linden]

Maybe? Idk

I ran Hop + Skyla + Steven, personally

[rigid flint]

I'd normally use Solgaleo but it's ground weak

[mellow linden]

You have K. Grimsley?

[rigid flint]

And bertha has head start 1 so quad queueing can't save me there

Sadly not

[mellow linden]

That’s fine, just wanted to check

[rigid flint]

I'd really like him tho, he seems extremely fun to use

[mellow linden]

Hop + Wikstrom + Skyla could probably work

Idk how Red + Snorlax would work out when it comes to replacing Hop

[rigid flint]

The problem would be gauge and stuff

Well wikstrom provides his own atk buffs when in blade form

And red lowers sync countdown and such so head start 1 doesn't become as big as a problem

[mellow linden]

Shouldn’t have any gauge problems with Hop + Skyla as Supports, just use Metal Claw on Hop unless he has Freevenge active

[rigid flint]

Right ok

I'll try that first

Mmm nope

Wikstrom dies too easily even in shield form

[mellow linden]

Worst case scenario you could potentially off-type depending on roster

Assuming this is Master Mode

[rigid flint]

Yep

Ughhhhhh Bertha why are you like this

Oh well I'll try later

I'm getting too worked up over this

[void wyvern]

Can we see your supports? @rigid flint

[rigid flint]

Uhh sure

[void wyvern]

Is this master mode 2k and which round?

[rigid flint]

R4 which is a bit of a mistake

And yes it's 2k

[void wyvern]

Actually r4 is a double edged sword

[rigid flint]

I was gonna do her round 2 but I got too frustrated lmao

[void wyvern]

It’s okay. Let’s see your supports and then see your dps

I’m 100% confident we can find a solution!

our likely solution will probably be post sync

[void wyvern]

Okay we have options

[mellow linden]

Is Sonia available?

[void wyvern]

Striker jasmine might be our fix

[rigid flint]

At 2/5?

Mmm idk

[void wyvern]

Gets both tough cookies at 2

[mellow linden]

Haven’t used striker Jasmine before, but yeah, probably could work

[void wyvern]

She has the benefit of being able to go post sync

[rigid flint]

Right

[void wyvern]

We need jasmine plus support ex

[rigid flint]

So

Jasmine, hop and skyla?

[void wyvern]

Do you have Lucian or champ iris?

[rigid flint]

Sadly not

[void wyvern]

Alright

Jasmine hop skyla will work

Want a jasmine grid?

[rigid flint]

I don't have many atk debuffers

[void wyvern]

Here’s the most important bit

[rigid flint]

I got one up

[void wyvern]

Don’t run pre sync

[rigid flint]

Right ok

[void wyvern]

Thanks to our wall potential we can go post sync and Bertha having a bit extra hp won’t kill us

Also put cs1 on jasmine

[rigid flint]

Alrighty

[void wyvern]

Boom

You will need to fish for hop’s mpr refresh

[rigid flint]

And should I have hop tank?

[void wyvern]

Yes

[rigid flint]

Wait do I sync with skyla or jasmine first?

[void wyvern]

Skyla should give more damage

[rigid flint]

Alrighty

Oh epic it worked

Thx a bunch

[rain imp]

Damn after Bertha nothing really that hard

Had to just remember how to flinchlock

Ss lyra on crack

[void wyvern]

Happy to help

Steel weak Bertha let’s me spread jasmine supremacy and that’s good.

[trail smelt]

Toughest for me this week was Cynthia

Drake sucks

[void wyvern]

Drake is unironically held back by the fact he is not a mega.

[mellow linden]

Were you trying to monotype or something?

[trail smelt]

Yep

So many of my dragons need offensive buffs lol

[zealous karma]

No Cyrus

?

[void wyvern]

I forgot Cyrus existed in the moment

[toxic cobalt]

Cyrus and SS Serena fully self-buff

[trail smelt]

Yeah but I didn’t wanna use them at first

[void wyvern]

No pain no gain.

[patent torrent]

Bertha is rough

Been trying to use misty/ssblue/dojo Gloria but earthquake just one shots gloria

I'm not sure who else to try cause it's mission 4

Ssgio / pal Marnie / hop? Or a different ex support

I'm also kinda mad cause I got a new phone and the game runs a lot worse than it did before so idk if it's just performance issues getting in the way of me doing well

[void wyvern]

@patent torrent show your supports

[toxic cobalt]

SS Gio is what move level?

[void wyvern]

Even at 1/5 he should max nuke just fine, right?

[toxic cobalt]

Should, but if it's 3/5 no need to deal with Hop being finicky

Can just run Skyla EX

[patent torrent]

I've got him 4/5

[void wyvern]

Critical crit is such a fun name

[void wyvern]

Run this grid and use ex Skyla. Make sure to save your SEUN for the max move and use it immediately after Skyla syncs

Bertha will go up in flames

don’t ask why I have it so readily on hand

Also pal Marnie can work on the team too for steel zone

[patent torrent]

What is seun

[void wyvern]

Super effective up next

It comes from his TM

[patent torrent]

Ah ok

[void wyvern]

So don’t use iron tail until after your max move

So it’ll go mega kick tm mega kick sync with Skyla, max steel spike

[patent torrent]

Ok cool I'll give that a try

[void wyvern]

Then spam iron tail

[toxic cobalt]

Godspeed

[void wyvern]

Don’t forget to setup steel zone before you use your max move!

[patent torrent]

Which 2000 point set should I do for that

Would it be the sync buff one

[toxic cobalt]

Try strength presync

[patent torrent]

Ok

[void wyvern]

If that doesn’t work. We’ll flip to an hp strength mix

[toxic cobalt]

The variability of Bertha's sync really starting to piss me off

[void wyvern]

Explain?

[toxic cobalt]

I feel like the damage roll has a significant spread. Sometimes I live, sometimes I die

[void wyvern]

Bertha is definitely weird for a lot of us. I wonder if power on hit affects sync.

But Bertha encourages a more patient dps for those who lack a good steel striker so having to do post sync we when we are all used to pre sync and the idea of taking…hp is definitely interesting.

But I love me a creative and very convoluted solution

[steel kelp]

Would it be better to just do gio for flint even during r4 or just use a physical striker

[patent torrent]

I have Steven for flint

[steel kelp]

And I don’t

[void wyvern]

Yes use gio

[patent torrent]

Oh thought you were talking about me sorry

Man

Lost cause rock slide made everyone flinch LMAO

[void wyvern]

Hehe, happens.

[patent torrent]

It worked, tyvm

[void wyvern]

You’re welcome! Happy to help.

[rigid flint]

@void wyvern Very random but I redid the whole of CSMM again cos I wanted to see if my 1/5 ss gio could clear bertha

And on the 5th try it worked :D

[void wyvern]

SS gio at 1/5 is still amazing.

[rigid flint]

The team was ss gio, ss blue and hop

[rigid flint]

Fr he's great

[void wyvern]

Great job at completing it twice!

[rigid flint]

Def will be investing in him once I get more striker candies

Ty!

I was kinda bored but I still don't know why I decided to put myself through the pain

[void wyvern]

Because it’s fun.

[rigid flint]

At least next week I can obliterate them all and get my revenge

[void wyvern]

Csmm is a very fun puzzle.

[void wyvern]

Good. Make sure to obliterate them

[rigid flint]

True, but Sinnoh pains me on another level I've never experienced before

[rigid flint]

Ash is very much looking forward to vsing Aaron next week >:)

[rain imp]

Are we looking at electric weak Aaron?

[rigid flint]

Yep

[rain imp]

He’s gonna eat brain sync 8 + paralysis sygerny 8 + electric terrain

And an 800 BP move to follow after that

[void wyvern]

As he should

[rain imp]

Can’t wait

[rigid flint]

As he deserves for torturing N

That is what he gets from having sentry entry x2

[rain imp]

I think he would still die to wise entry x2

[keen jasper]

If SS Wally can destroy Wise Entry x2 fairy-weak Cynthia, then so can Ash against Wise Entry x2 electric-weak Aaron

[rain imp]

You’re crazy

Ss wally does so much more damage than ash

Ss wally my #1 goat

[keen jasper]

Wally is tech while Ash is striker, difference man

[rain imp]

Was mostly just messing around

[keen jasper]

K then

[rain imp]

I didn’t really make that obvious

Mb

[rigid flint]

Wait does aaron have sentry entry or wise entry next week

Now I'm confused

[keen jasper]

Wise

[rigid flint]

lakgflkjhsah;skv;a

Why

[keen jasper]

Because Red

[rigid flint]

Why did he change it

[keen jasper]

?

[rigid flint]

Did aaron not use to have sentry entry?

I remember he had sentry entry last time he was electric weak

[keen jasper]

I forget

[rigid flint]

Yeah he does

[keen jasper]

Oh it's Sentry, I thought it was Wise

Oh well, it's time to turn Aaron into Ashes

[rigid flint]

Lmaoo

[void wyvern]

Aaron’s main goal was to counter n and Zekrom.

[full mesa]

Now Ash will show him.

[rigid flint]

The true power of friendship shall prevail

[keen jasper]

More like the true power of plot armor

[old orchid]

Me with EX Hau

[zealous karma]

Based

[full mesa]

I could go for SSBlue/Clemont/Volkner combo but too slow.

[trail smelt]

Got Elesa past Aaron once

That was NOT fun. RNG Hell beyond Villa eesh

Luckily Ash is here to zap him into a coma

[void wyvern]

Not me using striker SS Elesa

[white gale]

yikes, Bertha is proving to be really hard. I can't seem to crack her with Wikstrom/Sonia/PMarnie. I can't seem to pre-sync her, and after she dies, the sides' AOE kill me

[dark osprey]

because of head start

could try and use king shield to survive the sync

try taking out one side first I guess

denial on left and right seem to be the best way to go

or could go denial on left and focus on centre. then hope for flinch on right

[candid juniper]

What stage are you on?

[onyx ice]

Against Bertha i used SS Giovanni on physical up round (but probably was unnecessary)

[keen jasper]

I'm gonna try Kris's expanded grid next week on water-weak Flint

[keen jasper]

My teams for next week

Oh wait, I have Leaf on 2 teams

[dark osprey]

Sorry for the ping. Can try something like this if your Sonia is EXed and 3/5. The post support EX sync on rhyperior is crucial for a pre sync clear. If that doesn't happen you've got to use king's shield to survive the sync

[toxic cobalt]

That is a good clear

[boreal rose]

I dislike this CS

Mostly Flint

I DID IT

Bertha may be easier

Zamazenta said "get flinched for me"

game quit

[boreal rose]

Who to use for Cynthia?

[keen jasper]

Anyone as long as you change the weather to not sandstorm

I used Zinnia because I can and she has weather boost

[boreal rose]

I have problems withbeating cynthia

[keen jasper]

First of all, did you change the weather?

[boreal rose]

Yes

[keen jasper]

I'd say crit buffer, RayZinnia and Winona

Or use whatever you like

[boreal rose]

Idk eho to use

These are who i remember using

The x-d ones ofc

Its gonna be pretty slow tho i think

Oh wait. winona

[boreal rose]

Also Zinnia dies quickly

[old orchid]

Do you replace sand with other weather?

Oh so you did

Hmm Kiawe Winona / Blaine Zinnia should work

[boreal rose]

[boreal rose]

Do i have to use Zinnia 's TM?

[mellow linden]

Is she getting her necessary offensive buffs (Attack for Outrage, Sp. Atk. for Draco Meteor/Sync) from another source?

[boreal rose]

Sabrina

I use her TM once cuz of no guage

[mellow linden]

If you're using Sabrina's Trainer Move for the Sp. Atk. buffs (you'll wanna use it twice on Zinnia) and not using Outrage then you should be ok not using Zinnia's Trainer Move

[boreal rose]

I use draco meteor

[mellow linden]

You'll probably want to grid Winona for Air Slash Aggravation and use Air Slash instead of Hurricane. In addition to being more gauge-friendly you'll also have the flinch chance

[boreal rose]

Doesnt air slash flinch?

Ohhh

Yeah i was using it at the end

Also is this grid ok?

[mellow linden]

I'm assuming your Zinnia has Dauntless, so try this instead

[boreal rose]

And for Winona

[mellow linden]

Can swap some of the Draco Meteor tiles for the MGR instead if need be

Winona's looks fine, the important tile is Air Slash Aggravation

[boreal rose]

I hate my device

[mellow linden]

Does your Zinnia not have Dauntless?

[keen jasper]

Your Sabrina is EX-ed right?

[boreal rose]

No

[boreal rose]

Wdym

The sync did it

[keen jasper]

You purely synced with Zinnia right?

[boreal rose]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Your Zinnia had a weird number of Sp. Atk. buffs, but I guess that doesn't matter now

If it works it works

[keen jasper]

+3 from Sabrina TM and +2 from her own TM

[mellow linden]

That was what I wanted to make sure on, yeah

[molten nimbus]

somehow i struggled a lot less with cynthia than flint lol

is flint the problem of this CS?

[mellow linden]

Flint's gimmick is just stupid high damage

[molten nimbus]

oh

[boreal rose]

I would say so. Yes. He is

[keen jasper]

Psychic-weak Flint and Electric-weak Aaron

[mellow linden]

Cynthia's gimmick is Sandstorm

[molten nimbus]

no wonder kek

[boreal rose]

Which she i think doesnt set up ever again

[molten nimbus]

bro casually melting my stall team with negative attacks lol

[mellow linden]

Yeah, because perma field effects

[boreal rose]

Yeah

[keen jasper]

Doesn't she set it up again when she syncs?

[boreal rose]

Nope

She used i think x attack all but im not sure

Well when i flinched her she used x speed all and then x attack all i think

[dark osprey]

just curious to know, why is Flint difficult this week?

[keen jasper]

She always uses X Attack All before she syncs

[keen jasper]

Because Piercing Gaze and Fire Blast

[dark osprey]

raised stats on the fire blast i guess

[keen jasper]

He has no Furious Brain, but it's still an instant death nonetheless without Sp. Def. buffs

[dark osprey]

i remember him starting off with +2 sp atk or something only. maybe was lucky with the runs

[keen jasper]

He always starts off with +2 Sp. Atk. and speed

[dark osprey]

oh. and burn too i guess

[keen jasper]

HE4

[molten nimbus]

casually melting my tank with spD buffs

🫠

[keen jasper]

Have you also tried debuffing?

[molten nimbus]

doesnt work as well from my experience

still melts my tanks

[mellow linden]

All I know about Psychic weak Flint is that week 1 I tried 1 attempt at him on a special moves damage boost round and saw a 1k+ Fire Blast

[molten nimbus]

i managed to beat it somehow tho

[mellow linden]

Needless to say, I changed who I went after round 1

[boreal rose]

Ngl but now that 10k is done i can do hard mode in 2v3 and say i did 10k 2v3 /j

[molten nimbus]

2k+ fire blast on my chomp with spD buffs 🫠

[mellow linden]

That sounds like bad parameters

Wait

[molten nimbus]

my psychic type was too weak so I used Groudon/yellow doggo whose name i forgot/Aaron with bee queen

[mellow linden]

Well if it works it works

[toxic cobalt]

Just using Giovanni would be better

[molten nimbus]

if i have

chomp when dealing 1k+ EQ on a physical attack favoured buff 🫠 under sand with max atk/speed

[mellow linden]

Sounds like bad parameters

What were you using?

[keen jasper]

Change the weather?

[molten nimbus]

was trying to use yellow doggo/Excadrill/Chomp

failed tho
hence the groudon

[mellow linden]

I mean for parameters

[molten nimbus]

oh

[keen jasper]

Do you have Cyrus and/or Zinnia's EX?

[molten nimbus]

i do

[keen jasper]

And expanded grid?

[molten nimbus]

i forgot

[mellow linden]

Well whatever they were it sounds like they were...not very good, to say the least

[molten nimbus]

it should be around 1.5k offensive

[keen jasper]

Then here's what I'd use against Cynthia:
Crit buffer, Zinnia and Winona

[molten nimbus]

i dont think i ever got a hp or defense parameter

[molten nimbus]

i mean cynthia against flint

cynthia was a whole lot easier with palkia

[keen jasper]

Well, you were confusing me there NGL

[mellow linden]

Because with pinned parameters you should be seeing a lot more damage dealt and a lot less damage taken

[molten nimbus]

yeah it's weird how i was dealing that little

[mellow linden]

Though I guess the low damage could be explained by lack of Support EX

[molten nimbus]

likely

likely

[toxic cobalt]

Fire blast is no joke at any parameters

[mellow linden]

Oh wait, if the team was Cynthia + Sonia + Ingo then there's no Sp. Def. buffs on the team

That explains it

[keen jasper]

Fire Blast means instant death unless you have enough debuffs and buffs

[molten nimbus]

nah I recall using some other that has it
still dies tho

i dont exactly know who cause i spent 2 hours trying to beat it

[mellow linden]

Regardless, Psychic weak Flint is a monster in the damage department

[molten nimbus]

yeah iwi

he's a monster even before psychic weak

[steel kelp]

I’m so tired of fire blast do I just reset for good rng

[toxic cobalt]

[mellow linden]

Pretty much, yeah

Turn 1 Fire Blast was instant reset when I was doing my clear

[molten nimbus]

"Condition shield pls"

"condition shield plsss"

[steel kelp]

Welp I got the good rng and was able to quadqueue and died first psync

Not sure what to do if I’m dying first psync

[mellow linden]

What's the team and parameters you're using?

[steel kelp]

Post psync

[mellow linden]

And the team?

[toxic cobalt]

If you can quadqueue you can presync

[mellow linden]

1. Try Bianca instead of SC Jasmine, if need be you can use a different Sp. Atk. Support instead of BP Janine.

2. Giovanni will die to Sync regardless, so try pre-Sync parameters for lower enemy bulk

If you don't have Bianca you can still use the same team as you're using now, I guess

[steel kelp]

Ig I’ll go with bianca and SS elesa

[mellow linden]

SS Elesa will also eliminate the need for quadqueue, so if she can survive long enough she'd be great

[echo gale]

hi, question. how hard is 3k compared to 2k? ik it comes down to what parameters i choose but im thinking of doing one to see how far i can go

probably like all strength hp and def nodes or whatever but idk if its gonna work out

[toxic cobalt]

I DIDDDD IT

I BEAT BERTHA

cries

[keen jasper]

Using what?

[toxic cobalt]

Wilkstrom

[keen jasper]

Budget run?

[toxic cobalt]

Yeah pretty budget

i tried so many differnt teams

Don't budget Bertha

[keen jasper]

I'm guessing Solgaleo didn't make the cut?

[keen jasper]

Yeah ok

[toxic cobalt]

That is a very small percentage

[keen jasper]

Are there any physical dragon DDs besides Zinnia and Iris?

[toxic cobalt]

So basically, 3k is an extreme post-sync. You have to be able to really tank the sync.

[echo gale]

bet

[toxic cobalt]

BP Zinnia

[mellow linden]

Outrage from N, Gladion

[keen jasper]

Hmmmmm

[toxic cobalt]

Wow my Giovanni ghost grid is garbage

I think I made it when i first created it and never edited it

[mellow linden]

F2P Ghost options are big oof against Lucian

Wise Entry

[toxic cobalt]

Yeah, I'm testing if Giovanni can punch through. It's close

[mellow linden]

Based on what he’s got I think he was designed for Fall Morty/Fall Acerola

[keen jasper]

Only sides right?

[mellow linden]

Nope, all 3

[toxic cobalt]

Only sides is Bertha

[keen jasper]

I somehow cleared it with EX Sonia, Selene and Mallow

[mellow linden]

Bertha is the one where only sides have Wise Entry (and amusingly enough it’s Wise Entry x3 for them)

[keen jasper]

Even with half HP, all 3 of my units survived

To my surprise

[mellow linden]

You can definitely clear with other stuff, but he’s got lower resistance to Burn and Confusion, which just so happen to be the gimmicks of Fall Morty and Fall Acerola respectively

Plus those 2 also deal physical damage

It’s actually kinda fun looking at what they have and trying to figure out what Sync Pairs they were designed for

Like how Fire weak Aaron is designed for Anniversary N

[keen jasper]

I just wished SS Red and Bluecanine has multipliers on their moves

[mellow linden]

Blue has Superduper Effective, doesn’t he?

[winter glen]

and red still hits hard + sync nuke

[keen jasper]

Which is stronger, increased lowered stats or increased damage against specific damage type?

[mellow linden]

Wdym

Round parameter?

[keen jasper]

In short, which round can make you deal more damage, R1/R4 or R3 param?

[simple storm]

I used red+silver+ ss morty

Very easy

[mellow linden]

I think probably Round 1/Round 4 parameters, but idk for sure

Round 1/Round 4 parameters also usually have more risk depending on who you’re facing

[keen jasper]

I wanna see Bluecanine's Hyper Beam damage and let's see if I can hit 60k+ with it

Though I wished I have WW3 on him

[mellow linden]

Anyway, speaking of who the Sinnoh CS stages are designed for, are there any weather focused Dragon damage-dealers besides Clair and Zinnia? Because it legitimately feels like Dragon weak Cynthia is designed for freebies

[winter glen]

dragon pulse raihan and anni raihan

[mellow linden]

Ah, I guess maybe A. Raihan then

Works out well though, I got to use Clair to decimate the stage this week

[keen jasper]

This is my first time using EX Zinnia

And she's quite effective

[rain imp]

Infinite dragon zone 💀 because Lucas wouldn’t evaporate the stage fast enough

[mellow linden]

Lucas isn’t weather based though

[rain imp]

It’s still part of the “field effect” thing

[mellow linden]

Dragon weak Cynthia’s gimmick is that you need to set weather other than Sandstorm

[rain imp]

Oh I forgot about that

I brought ss kris on accident

[keen jasper]

I was right, it was 60k+

[sinful brook]

Steel Zone + EX 1/5 Raihan seem good enough to clear Bertha this week, even through the sides having the SpDef buff?

[long thicket]

So Hilbert and Genesect can change types?

I have Victini and Reshiram for AoE fire damage.

[keen jasper]

Only for their Techno Blast

[long thicket]

And EXes for Red and Silver.

[echo gale]

not quite, Techno Blast can change types, but not sync

[long thicket]

Alright then.

Haven't really tested them yet.

[toxic cobalt]

[long thicket]

6100 heal for Aaron. Because of course.

Thankfully, Victini and everyone else survived the sync, so I won.

1500 points, btw.

I felt like it was more worthwhile to sync with a no-grid Blaine and keep using Hilda's move.

Using an EX support would've been smarter, but oh well.
Also, that "everyone keeps one HP instead of being KO" is evil...

[keen jasper]

Endure can be annoying yeah and you either have to use a sync move or a move that ignores endure

[echo gale]

oh boy i forgot about head start bertha

[toxic cobalt]

Never forget head start Bertha

[mellow linden]

Maybe it’s just because Steven is a really good pick for Bertha or something, but I found Bertha very manageable

[toxic cobalt]

Bertha: not even once

Why be very bulky and have head start

[void wyvern]

Bertha is manageable if you can either mega nuke or have a bulky striker

[quaint solar]

Anyone knows the rotation for the rounds for this week championship stadium

[storm moss]

Anyone able to help with teams?

[mellow linden]

Depends on your teams. Biggest thing of note is that Round 1 Flint is death incarnate

[storm moss]

It's for MM, I've done psychic

[mellow linden]

SSR Cynthia + SS Korrina + a tank for Lucian is an obvious team

Hilbert + SS Red + SS Morty for Aaron would be good

[storm moss]

Sycamore?

[mellow linden]

Sycamore could work, I guess

IMO BP Morty or Misty + Psyduck would be a little better, but if you’re not gonna use Sycamore elsewhere it’s probably fine

Anyways, SS Giovanni + Skyla + a crit buffer could probably work for Bertha, and SS Serena + Lucas + SS Kris would obliterate Cynthia

[long thicket]

Darnit, Bertha.

It went so well.

[mellow linden]

Striker get crit at the last second?

[long thicket]

AoE move, I think.

Support and Striker KO together.

Did Steven (EX), Wikstrom and Hop.

I won at the second try.

[toxic cobalt]

Bertha and Cynthia have an obnoxious propensity for aoe

[mellow linden]

Wikstrom and Steven is overkill, tbh

EX Skyla + EX Steven + Hop worked for me

[quaint solar]

Your saying not to do flint on round 1

[mellow linden]

Can’t say I recommend it, no

I tried that back on the 1st week of this Sinnoh CS run and saw a 1k+ damage Fire Blast obliterate my Sabrina

[quaint solar]

You have a screen shot of your rub this week?

[mellow linden]

I have my Hall of Fame screenshots as per usual

Aurochs and Eevee have f2p clears if you want to take a look at those

[steel kelp]

Have fun with flint nuking you

[quaint solar]

I'm on R2. Flint or Aaron for that

[mellow linden]

You’ll get more value from doing Aaron, but it really doesn’t matter much

[quaint solar]

1st try winning with this team

[mellow linden]

Congrats

SS Steven is indeed a win button

[fringe valve]

Yeah, you know a unit is busted when they can clear the mid before you even sync

[austere quest]

I love SS Steven so much

[boreal rose]

2nd sygna suit?

Oohh. I understand niw

[long thicket]

And I didn't post in the right place...

It's weird how smooth this week is going at 1500 points.

Did Flint first try.

[boreal rose]

Team?

[long thicket]

Giovanni, Bianca, Sabrina.
I know this sounds like an ideal team, but still, Mewtwo fainted from the sync despite the full health and that same team gave me struggle for 2k the previous time the fight was available.

[boreal rose]

Oh

[long thicket]

Anything wrong?

[zealous karma]

Cynthia is the easiest of this CS consistently

[boreal rose]

Everything

[long thicket]

Holy, Cynthia and Giratina did 19k damage with spectral zone + EX Sonia sync.

Lucian got hit very hard.

[boreal rose]

Oh yeah. Champ Cynthia doesnt use Legend. Im stupid 💀

Yes i did understand it as enemy cynthia did that

Wait

[long thicket]

I know I see a lot of pictures showing your team doing damage in the five digits, but it's not something I can do regularly.

[boreal rose]

It was correctly written

[tardy elk]

Zinnia is actually pretty good this week

[boreal rose]

Ik

[tardy elk]

Blew cynthia apart w/ her and may

[boreal rose]

She is able to beat Cynthia with 2nd sync without support sync before Cynthia syncs once

[tardy elk]

may didn't even need to do much

just set up rain and give a little bit of dps

[boreal rose]

Winona

[tardy elk]

fair

she works too

didn't even need the second sync to kill garchomp

[quaint solar]

Whats a team that can win this man. Tired of reseting need assistance 😪

[tardy elk]

You have ex zinnia or cyrus?

[tardy elk]

crit buffer + ex zinnia + winona or may is basically a free win here

[boreal rose]

I used Sabrina

DHA → Reflect and after that i healed or used stuff that just would make the sync counter go smaller

[quaint solar]

Cyrus and who else

[tardy elk]

sabrina

Cyrus solid great dragon type dmg after his grid expansion

you don't have zinnia ex?

[summer flare]

Does Lucian have wise entry X2?

I couldn't touch it with allister

[tardy elk]

Lucian is just bulky I think

[tardy elk]

I check and he apparently does

I just bust through him w/ a ex morty

[summer flare]

My Morty isn't EX, but I feel I'll need the extra damage from it

[zealous karma]

Could use a screech mine

[void wyvern]

You can run morty and an additional striker to help.

[summer flare]

I managed to beat it with just morty

Ended up postponing Cynthia EX, which I was going to accomplish this week

To get Morty to EX

Then went misty, Morty and Hop

Misty was there mainly because she's the only evasion buffer I have

And his only sync multiplier is the evasion one

[void wyvern]

That’s definitely an expensive solution.

I’m happy it worked out for you!

[summer flare]

My plan was to end up with a pair that I can use for 2k csmm

So since my ghost pairs were heavily underserved, I felt Morty would be a decent enough investment for sync nuking

Aaron sounds impossible to on type with the pairs I have

[mellow linden]

No Helena?

Obviously not her for Lucian, but for other Ghost weak stages she should work just fine

[summer flare]

I have her

My issue now is aaron

[mellow linden]

Bit of a late response to your comments about Ghost types, sorry

[summer flare]

He takes absolutely no damage from silver

Which is one of the reasons why I hate using the pair

[mellow linden]

Regular Hilda works well for Aaron

That’s what I did week 1 of this Sinnoh run

[summer flare]

Does she need EX as well? I could do it during an emergency

But I don't have tickets anymore, so it would be 20 raw power ups

[mellow linden]

It might depend on her teammates

[summer flare]

I still have hilbert

[mellow linden]

SS Hilbert?

[summer flare]

No

[mellow linden]

Just checking

[summer flare]

3/5 regular Hilbert, to buff her

[mellow linden]

Yeah, definitely works. Though if Hilda’s not EX you might need someone with high regular move damage to handle the sides

[void wyvern]

If you’re crazy you can use flint.

[summer flare]

I love infernape and all

But how can flint out damage silver?

Silver did nothing

All I could do was to reach the first aid 2 checkpoint and notice I was even more screwed than I thought I was

[mellow linden]

Does Silver have his Power Boost? It’s fine if he doesn’t, just want to check

[summer flare]

Nope

It's stock silver

No boost no EX

[mellow linden]

Ah

[summer flare]

Fire options I have are uh...

[void wyvern]

Silver’s biggest issue is that he lacks self sufficiency.

[summer flare]

3/5 serena, Hilda, blue and arcanine, then silver

[mellow linden]

I’m assuming no SS Morty

[summer flare]

No

Oh, and gladion

If that matters

[mellow linden]

I guess Blue + Arcanine/Blaine/someone to handle buffs/tanking could work

[summer flare]

My gladion is 4/5 superpowered and EX

I think the only high profile buffer I have left is like

SS kris

Or giovanni

[mellow linden]

That’s unfortunate

Could just do Dawn and have Blue buff his own stats, I guess

[summer flare]

Dawn?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, she’s a good physical tank

[summer flare]

If I don't need someone to set sun

[mellow linden]

Why do you think I said Blaine + your main Support as the teammates?

[summer flare]

Because I'm either doing this or offtyping

And I wanna avoid offtyping

[mellow linden]

It’d be super janky, but Blue buffing himself with Dawn to tank and Blaine for Sun is at least worth a shot

[summer flare]

Dawn can't tank

[mellow linden]

Oh, Bug weakness

[summer flare]

She's weak to bug

[mellow linden]

Right

[summer flare]

Got oneshot

I can try SS blue

[mellow linden]

Would need to pick a different damage-dealer

Can’t do double Blue just yet

[void wyvern]

SS blue, Serena, and a sing bot may be a good idea

[mellow linden]

Is there a particular reason you don’t want to off-type?

[void wyvern]

Run Adrenaline SS blue, buff Serena and just slowly poke at aaron

[mellow linden]

What if Serena + SS Blue + Hilda and use Serena for Sleep bot

Because Go Viral

Might lead to a slightly faster clear, idk

[void wyvern]

Try this, come back if it doesn’t work.

If it doesn’t. We can do Serena and a sleep bot

[summer flare]

I dislike offtyping in general

Ever since I got ash and sst red

[void wyvern]

Ash is effective

[summer flare]

It feels unchallenging

So, if I EX hilda

I can pull this off

[void wyvern]

No, you don’t need to ex anyone

[mellow linden]

If you EX Hilda there’d be no reason to try the janky strats

Because at that point it’s just Hilda + Hilbert + Blaine

[summer flare]

I tried Hilda, Hilbert and SS blue

Lacked damage

[void wyvern]

Because you’re missing Sun

[summer flare]

I likely should go for SS Erika instead of blaine

[mellow linden]

She probably would be better than Blaine, yeah

But anyways, the idea of the SS Blue/Serena/Hilda team would be Serena Sleep-locking while Hilda does just enough damage to not have the fight be a slog

[summer flare]

I could try it

[trail smelt]

LMAO vengeance

[trail smelt]

I never had any problems with any Flints tbh. My problems have always been Cynthia and Aaron. For this week it definitely was Cynthia

[molten nimbus]

Lol we had opposite teams for sure

I struggled the least against them

[lunar dawn]

what parameters are good for this team, I'm trying pre sync nuke but I'm dying to sides (and also not killing before sync)

i can swap leaf for skyla but that's about it
in r1 rn btw

[void wyvern]

If you can’t kill before sync. You may want to consider a post sync setup

What support ex’s do you have? @lunar dawn

[lunar dawn]

i can use Cynthia or Sonia but I'd rather save them for the later offtype stages

I plan to use bolt red and SS hilda on Bertha/Lucian (idk which I'll put red on)

[void wyvern]

What moves are you doing with Hilbert?

[lunar dawn]

and Cyrus is an easy Cynthia obv

[void wyvern]

The first 3 before sync

[lunar dawn]

TM, dire hit + x2 or techno to rebuff first and then TM + dire hit
Idk which to go with

[void wyvern]

The biggest primary issue of your team is how long it takes to actually have SS Hilbert doing real damage. That’s why’d suggest using Sonia.

[formal vigil]

Do you have someone that buffs special attack and crit? Helps set up ss hilbert faster

[lunar dawn]

usually 5(6?)turns and I can do 29k total on the next 2

[mellow linden]

You don’t need Sonia for SST Red, btw

[lunar dawn]

the sun combined with rebuff crit supereffective next and 2 sync buffs is a lot

[lunar dawn]

I don't really need a good support for Cynthia either so ig I could use Sonia

[void wyvern]

Sonia setting up crit is idea

[lunar dawn]

Oh I didn't know she could do that

Is it grid

[void wyvern]

Yes

[lunar dawn]

Neat, didn't think of that

[void wyvern]

Would you like a Sonia grid?

[lunar dawn]

Yee

[void wyvern]

But the plan will be this. Do Sonia’s Tm all 3 times. You will have to fish for refresh.

With Hilbert go for his Tm, Techno blast, and Tm again.

[lunar dawn]

This "pre sync" stuff is very new to me so I didn't have crit on her

[void wyvern]

Give me a minute to get it for ya!

[lunar dawn]

started 2 months ago and I only just figured out my parameters were wrong last week

[lunar dawn]

Thank you!

[mellow linden]

Critical Squad is one of the few tiles I’d consider to be mandatory for a Sonia grid, tbh

It’s part of what makes her such an absurd Support

[lunar dawn]

I must've gridded her a while ago looking at my current one

It's pretty bad

Early on I didn't know the passive skill meta

[void wyvern]

A bit cropped but you should be able to see it

Does that all make sense?

[lunar dawn]

Yea

I had something pretty similar except with master healer 1 (kind of forgot about half healing)

Thank you so much for the help
I'll give this a go

That's mp refresh on the left nvm
I didn't mean mh1

[void wyvern]

What exactly does Hilbert’s tm even do?

[lunar dawn]

Supereffective ^ 1

And spatk up 3

[void wyvern]

That’s all?

[lunar dawn]

1 sec

Yea that's it

It's got mp refresh too

But grid

Having the s effective bumps the damage from 12k to 17k on heracross iirc

[void wyvern]

Well, let us know if the strategy does not work out

[lunar dawn]

Is staggering 2 (30% flinch on tackle) worth getting on Sonia to potentially buy an extra turn
(you can fit it if you swap HP + 20 for spark +4)

Or should I just buff her hp like you did

[void wyvern]

Yes you can do that.

I didn’t actually think about it like that. Good job!

[steel kelp]

Finally beat flint wasn’t a 2k but I’ll take 1.5k

[lunar dawn]

(could be back here later idk hopefully the rest goes well)

[void wyvern]

@lunar dawn you’re welcome, just feel free to ask if you need help

[steel kelp]

Why is Cynthia so much of a pushover compared to flint

[void wyvern]

They didn’t design Cynthia all that well.

[steel kelp]

Beat her first try

[mellow linden]

Cynthia’s gimmick is Sandstorm, Flint’s is stupid high damage

[rigid flint]

Flint has pretty damn good damage

Mans OHKOd Sabrina with a fire blast

[void wyvern]

Flint you have to fiddle with other Mm parameters rather than damage.

Because he just does too much.

[mellow linden]

I’m guessing Psychic weak Flint was designed for Anniversary May

[steel kelp]

[mellow linden]

Since he’s more susceptible to Sp. Atk. debuffs, and you want those Sp. Atk. debuffs

[steel kelp]

Cool

[rigid flint]

True

[mellow linden]

That’s the thing with Sinnoh CS, a lot of the gimmicks are specifically designed for certain limited pairs

[steel kelp]

Good thing I’m missing a majority of limited units cause only been playing a few months

[rigid flint]

From what I know a lot of people have been able to clear with the semi f2p psychic squad

[mellow linden]

Oh, that makes sense

[rigid flint]

Sabrina, Giovanni and Bianca

[mellow linden]

I cleared with Sabrina, Bianca, and Caitlin

[void wyvern]

Caitlin?!?

[rigid flint]

Yooo the Caitlin rep

[void wyvern]

10/10 based

[rigid flint]

That's a chad play right there

[mellow linden]

Takes a bit of RNG so Sabrina can survive long enough, but it’s doable

[steel kelp]

Maybe I’ll convert to Caitlin next psychic week

[rigid flint]

Mad respect

[steel kelp]

I’m not a gio believer

[rigid flint]

Understandable

[void wyvern]

10/10 Caitlin based

[mellow linden]

Fair warning, you’d need to EX Caitlin and I can’t say I recommend that unless she’s a fave

[rigid flint]

Gio does do stupid damage tho

[old orchid]

If Flint uses Fire Blast first turn, better reset the stage

[void wyvern]

Giovanni is absolutely busted

[old orchid]

The dude even ohko SS Dawn at full health lol

[void wyvern]

He does so much damage for a free unit

[rigid flint]

Yeahh

[void wyvern]

In fact new Hilbert actually goes really well with gio

[steel kelp]

I was probably doing something wrong but gio wasn’t doing anything until flint was about to psync

[rigid flint]

Who did u have?

[steel kelp]

Gio SS elesa and Bianca

[rigid flint]

Huh

From seeing that

That team shouldn't have much of a problem

[void wyvern]

Yes but also no.

[mellow linden]

Did you turn off “No Stat Reductions”?

[steel kelp]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Hmmm

[void wyvern]

I assume gio isn’t power boosted?

[mellow linden]

Weird, Giovanni should’ve been doing a ton of damage then

Is he gridded?

[steel kelp]

He’s gridded

[mellow linden]

Brainteaser/Smarty-Pants tiles?

[rigid flint]

Even without the power boost Gio should still be doing quite a bit of damage

[void wyvern]

You’re right.

The biggest issue with the team is that brain teaser/ smarty pants doesn’t get activated easily

[rigid flint]

Wait gimme a sec lemme redo and see if that team works

And I'll record

[steel kelp]

Only brainteaset

[void wyvern]

Smarty pants helps a lot with sync damage

[mellow linden]

And one more thing I want to check (moreso out of a desire to eliminate variables than anything), did you use Giovanni’s Trainer Move at all?

[void wyvern]

(That’s actually a fair question)

[steel kelp]

I realized what it is

I had him gridded for shadow ball and not psychic

[void wyvern]

Oop

[steel kelp]

I used his tm once

[void wyvern]

Might be good to use twice

[mellow linden]

Assuming you use SS Elesa’s Trainer Move on him that should be alright

[steel kelp]

I did

[mellow linden]

Yeah, probably related to being gridded for Shadow Ball then

[void wyvern]

Do you have head start /leg up on ss elesa?

[steel kelp]

Was hoping SS elesa wouldn’t get nuked and her tm would refresh

I do

[void wyvern]

That’s an important bit

[steel kelp]

I have vigilance as lucky on her

Even without fire blast from flint a crit from something else might’ve killed

[mellow linden]

Eh, not necessarily

[void wyvern]

Missing leg up / head start and using her tm before first sync doesn’t provide the full benefit.

But in our testing for gio’s missing damage it does not

[mellow linden]

I get that a lot of people love to run her for getting to your 1st Sync sooner, but eliminating the need to quadqueue is honestly just as good of a reason to run her

[void wyvern]

I run her for quad queue personally

[rigid flint]

Just did it with ss elesa, gio and bianca

[steel kelp]

I’ve never tried to quadqueue before now

[void wyvern]

[rigid flint]

Had the worst rng but still managed to clear it

[steel kelp]

And it’s so annoying when I don’t get it

[mellow linden]

Yeah, for Giovanni teams you generally need to either quadqueue or have Sync accel in some form. Mewtwo be squishy

[void wyvern]

I’ve never actually ran quad queue or sync accel with gio.

[rigid flint]

Same here

He tends to just destroy the stage in one sync

[void wyvern]

I’ll probably compare using pal dawn to ss Elesa with gio

[mellow linden]

Ah

Shows how long I’ve been using Caitlin for Psychic weak stuff

[void wyvern]

Caitlin needs the power boost

Critical strike 9 please

[mellow linden]

A Power Boost with some damage modifiers would be lovely

Not outright required since she can still clear Psychic weak stuff well enough, but lovely nonetheless

[void wyvern]

I remember pulling for Caitlin when she came out and thought she was great because she had 333 special attack

But seriously she could use some actual damage boosters

[mellow linden]

Brainpower + Furious Brain would be nice

[void wyvern]

She’s probably gonna get those.

Although I would greatly appreciate rising tide

[molten nimbus]

stored power: fortuitous 9

[mellow linden]

Caitlin doesn’t have Stored Power

That’s Bianca

[molten nimbus]

wait

[void wyvern]

Caitlin’s power boost is actually getting stored power

[mellow linden]

Caitlin has Hidden Power

[molten nimbus]

"Upon sync, hidden power is changed to stored power"

[void wyvern]

Oak’s research go brrrr

I should start using oak on psychic weak

[molten nimbus]

does hidden power work like ss hilbert technoblast?

[mellow linden]

No

[molten nimbus]

weakkk

[mellow linden]

It’s just Psychic type

[molten nimbus]

even weaker

[void wyvern]

Just disappointment type

[mellow linden]

Not like she uses it much if ever

[trail smelt]

Psychic type given hidden power psychic

[mellow linden]

Psychic is the move she’s spamming

[trail smelt]

When she already has psychic

Iirc MTyranitar also has Hidden Power right?

[rigid flint]

Yep

That, ancient power and thunderbolt

Very weird choice of moves

[trail smelt]

Lowkey I want that unit for real

[white gale]

Wow that is nicely done! I should be able to do that. my move orders were different, but clearly yours is better

[white gale]

(but I must confess, I ended up taking the easy route and beat it with the zeus rodents)

Here are my tentative teams for Sinnoh MM next week. Any suggestions or recs to improve them? A little worried Bea won't be able to handle it at 1/5. For Dark, Nessa and TMR are my best physical dark attackers, and Sonia just pairs well with a Phy Att team

[void wyvern]

Water weak has wise entry x2 but Cyrus should be alright.

[river pagoda]

Does electric Aaron have spdef or def x2 next week?

[void wyvern]

Def x2

[mellow linden]

Sentry Entry, so Defense

[river pagoda]

Eeee

Out of these electric units it'd only be Hau tht I shud use as a striker right

[mellow linden]

If you don't have Ash, NY Volkner, or Classic Elesa, you better start getting Hau ready

[river pagoda]

Seems to be the only special striker

Ya

Which one is classic elesa

Zebstrika?

[mellow linden]

Emolga

[river pagoda]

O

Is tht limited too

[mellow linden]

Poke Fair, yeah

[river pagoda]

Eee oki

I'll just use hau

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Hau will probably work best. Try to get him to 5 stars if you can

Oh wait

You have SS Hilbert

[river pagoda]

Only got 2 5* powerups rn

[mellow linden]

I'm dumb

[river pagoda]

Wait

I'm also dumb

[void wyvern]

Just realized that too

[mellow linden]

Lol

[river pagoda]

I forgot Abt his passive

Ty

[void wyvern]

[mellow linden]

You're totally covered with SS Hilbert

[river pagoda]

What r the types for next week again aa I forgot

[mellow linden]

Techno Blast is absurd

[river pagoda]

Ya tru

Ss Hilbert + Skyla and sycamore cleared mesprit alone tht was crazy

First ever legend arena and it went hella well

I just stuck the other necessary theme units in the first 2 teams to get the mission clears and then finished w those 3

[mellow linden]

That's pretty much the way to do it, yeah

[void wyvern]

Mesprit?

[mellow linden]

Also Azelf is the one you're thinking of

[river pagoda]

O mb

[mellow linden]

It happens

[white gale]

OH really? I don't see that on Pomatools?

[void wyvern]

I might just be crazy

If I am I’m sorry

[white gale]

oh I don't know, maybe pomatools is wrong?

[void wyvern]

Cobalt help

[river pagoda]

Sidney vs Nanu for dark weak Lucian next week?

[mellow linden]

Water weak Flint doesn't have Wise Entry, but he does have Discourage 2 (-2 Sp. Atk. for the opponents on entry) and Satisfied Snarl 9 (lowers Sp. Atk. by 1 stage when hitting the opponent), so physical Water is recommended anyways

[void wyvern]

Thank you

[mellow linden]

Sidney would be better
