it's time
...wait, I don't remember having SS Serena, though?
oh wait
I do
SS Serena is her with Zygarde
I could try to do a clear with an accessible kimono grimsley team
Please? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
I do have raihan too
I dunno if I should swap hop and Skyla out
Least this makes me want to get a steel striker
They should’ve given flints stage brain teaser and furious brain
Doesn’t hit hard enough
your parameters are good right
just making sure
it's going to be a hard clear regardless
Ah you already posted them
Sorry to bother you
...heck, how do I get more Sync Orbs fast-like?
I already did the daily Sync Orbs quest
and I am trying to save my Trainer Lodge stone...thingies
you build them up over time as you use less of them (when you have types ready for cs already basically)
you can use lodge stones though if you really need them
all it costs you is 1 level on a 140 pair
Abomasnow
Though I guess it technically doesn't matter
Yeee they are now
Ok, so I did Aaron on r2, now r3 and r4 left
Bertha on r3 and what params do you recommend?
true, considering both versions of Candice have Hail
though I also gave SS Serena Sandstorm protection with what little sync orbs I had left
...also, I really need to find a way to get new 3* Creamy Lucky Cookies fast-like
because I can't wait until the next Lucky Cookie event
Did it, let me upload
Nuuu
Posted in #community-content
Sandstorm chip damage isn’t why you want to change the weather, it’s so that Cynthia’s gimmick is disabled
Sun or Rain would work too, but since you have SS Serena you can afford to use Candice for type medal purposes
Idk how do F2P steel round 4
No one is strong enough or tanky enough to survive Bertha sync even with +6 def and -6 Atk post sync params
It's just unfortunate Solgaleo is weak to ground
It’s unfortunate steel types commonly known as the most defensive type F2P options don’t have defense stats
I just bloody suck
What stage are you doing?
Jasmine SSB hop could be a nice steel DPS option I used gloria and jasmine
Very annoying
I'm just thankful to have SS Gio
I mean with SS Giovanni was a cakewalk
I’m glad o have jasmine
OG or SC?
Hmmmm ok
I was able to pre sync with her and Gloria but man F2P steel units are not great lel
Isn't, but is in the scout ticket pool, so she's f2p friendly i guess
Why did they make Bertha hit so hard when gloria is so frail
To bad this isn’t an F2P friendly run and is just F2P
Got Calem and will to work for psychic and Gio for ghost 🦑
I don’t think that really matters lel
He’s good at all move levels
I mean, I figured as much
I only added sandstorm protection in case Candice somehow dies
oh yeah, it wants me to pick one round gimmick from the Elite Four for the Cynthia battle
...should I pick the Round 1 gimmick for Cynthia?
after all, SS Serena hits with Spec. Attack
Zerena gets no boost from the other 3 field effects.
Unless you plan to use a spdef debuffer.
Zerena will nuke Cynthia with that
With all the Calem showcase and Cheren’s grid update I seriously hope we get an event that gives us their 3/5’s next patch
Power ups hype
If you have a support ex you can run strength and max sync - 2
Then throw in the usual 2k goodies and go from there.
Which support?
Any support Ex
Rosa
The gauge refill is the most beneficial piece and burning Aaron who works on a lot of teams isn’t necessary
Save your super effective up next for your max move and simply nuke Bertha down in one go.
Rosa first target or Hop?
Target hop
Pre sync
Set those
And is it working or are you having trouble?
I might've messed this up
Are you not able to win with these parameters or are you showing me to see if it works?
Tried first time 🙈
Just something with that bulk
And strategy maybe
Sync with Rosa?
Or Hop?
With Rosa
Do the following.
Mega kick TM Mega kick
Special all Special all Tm
Hop’s TM TM TM
Sync with Rosa and immediately use Max steel spike
Mash iron tail
Thanks
It worked!
I used iron tail instead of mega kick
Rhyperior was ko'ed by gmax
Well if it works no harm no foul
yeah, the idea is to keep the super effective up next for the max steel spike, post-support EX
but if it works, it works
O.god
I think I made a mistake
I left Bertha for R4
On MM
I shudve used
R2 on her
Instead of Lucian
I would've done Bertha at R3
It's a neutral round for Bertha
She doesn't have any debuffs
im doing tht rn ya
im doing 850/4.2k MM first time
problem is
last time i won against bertha
with sc grimsley
who relies on def debuff to win quick
so i might turn tht off
and go two extra 50 pt params on flint
idk if ill survive
😩
Good luck
what's the flint team?
he hits very hard but psychic is so oversaturated, you'll be fine
bianca gio sycamore
i think ill be fine
maybe swap out sycamore for ssb
def buffs
wait no
flint is special
keep sycamore

ty 
keep sycamore indeed
that's a good team
just use Giovanni's TM twice to max his crit
Yessir
Took a break and come back and I assume this is gonna be anticlimactic like the last 2 times on hard mode
😩
may'
That'll work!
I’ve never had Zerena wipe a stage but she did lel
Oh yeah Zerena destroyed Cynthia
oh its reset time
Champions always are
honestly surprised
bertha was the hardest for me

and even then i just noticed she had headstart and always ended up syncing before me
so i just waited to run scgrimsley debuffs and counter after sync
and it worked fine
I rate steel weak Bertha as the worst CS stage, even more than electric-weak Aaron
oh thts next week isnt it
im scared
is he rlly hard to kill bc he has strong atks or cuz strong defenses? ;0
electric-weak aaron*
Strong defences combined with a powerful attack move
eek oki
those earthquakes are painful
Fairy-weak Cynthia for me, still
But Mina exists 
Oh no fairy weak cynthia is like a cat whilst steel weak bertha is a lion
Cynthia evasion hacks 
Steel-weak bertha didn't feel hard to me
Fair enuf ig
Everyone's got different opinions based on what units they have
Someone with like ss gio and palmarnie would probably find steel weak bertha quite easy
I wasn't even using ss gio. I have a 3/5 ex steven 
Oh lmao
3/5 Kimono Grims does nuke the hell out Bertha too
Yeah steven still holds up hella well for steel weak
Oh yeah does Kimono grims manage to one shot bertha with metal burst?
Guess you put AnniLili in fairy zone or something to match
Since bertha's high horsepower does a ton of damage
with the sync nuke is more reliable i think. easy multiplier plus the defense down addition and also a super effective next with the TM
then can metal burst one side as well
Ah
mine's EXed so not verifiable at my end if non-EX can first sync ohko but it did seem to me because he was doing like 70-80K sync damage
3/5?
He seems so fun to use
Somehow I always mess it up
True. I honestly thought he was just metal burst. But his nuke is great too
I'm not good at using k grimsley lol
which round do yall think is best to do flint in
probably 2nd or 4th. try avoiding 1st
mm yea makes sense, MG9 would make r3 a pain
what team comp did you happen to use for flint
depends on ur roster. Giovanni would be a free damage dealing option. can check out #1010274591601598555 for different comps that people have used for their clears
yea I have Giovanni, unfortunately not EX
r u aiming for a 10K clear?
yea 10k (also poison stall on flint insane)
Maybe you can rely on support ex
oh. maybe if u post ur roster here. someone would be able to help with teams
But if you don't have Giovanni ex i assume no Rosa ex either
I think I have rosa serperior EX
i guess Rosa EX is kinda free from the Bingo
Is still up?
I think it comes for new players
so all do get it. some exchange the powerups though
Then it's free real estate
which is a mistake
does sabrina pair good with gio
Champion spirits are pretty useless, unless you are a big, and i mean big whale
Not useless, but 5* power ups are the major bottleneck for most players
Champion spirits to 5* power ups would be more useful
coins to 5* power ups
Maybe they could had like a monthly trade for champion spirits to a candy coin
pre-sync parameters?
Giovanni won't survive Flint's Sync regardless, so probably
he can with post sync barely for me
Did he? Huh, alright
well in my F2P try, not sure about with full psychic
Probably depends on team comp then
Via much pain, I established there is a noticeable range in the damage potential of the syncs of Bertha and Lucian. Possibly the same for flint.
Was wondering if they too have some tech multiplier or so
according to pomatools, no
Can calem offtype a sinnoh stage
that is a question @zealous karma might be able to answer
...wait
what's the One-Time-Only 5⭐-Select Scout Ticket?
like, I know it's a ticket that helps me get a 5* Sync Pair, but
what banner is it used for?
No way fuzzy strike 5 is that bad
I am talkng about the one you get at the end of the second half of Victory Road
You get to pick one of the kanto ss trio
But I already did in the first half?
You mean you can do it a second time?
a ticket that you get only 1 time and that you gotta use in the ticket scouts
lets you choose between ssred, ssblue and ssleaf
Wait, but I already did that?
What's waiting for me in the second half of the Victory Road?
uh?
there is no 2nd half
i dont think i understand what you're talking abt
There is, though
Probably have to screenshot to know what you mean
^
could you screenshot your victory road screen
that rainbow ticket is the one that lets you choose
Yeah, the end of the first half
after that last story stage the victory road is done
that key is a song key
there is no 2nd half, just champion stadium hard mode
^
That key is not the start of a 2nd half?
no
as i said its a song key
i dont remember which song but it just unlocks a jukebox song
And after that, nothing?
Damn
Yes, I was able to off type flint las week who had wise entry pre sync
Damn, I almost damage capped Aaron using Silver without any defense debuffs
Who needs debuffs when you've got theme skills?
Max def?
Ah
Anyone know where I can find tht chart that had a ranking for which pairs to EX first
I wanna EX a few supports/strikers before I move onto just faves
Not sure which to start with
OOP nvm found it
It was in the datamine/tier list chat for those who need ^
I wonder who can hit 99k with max def
Max defensive and strength params?
If that’s possible.
What about SC Diantha?
Fire rebuff makes him outedhe her
nah she is still the highest nuker
remember electric, ice, water and bug debuff exist
Marnie's nuke being higher than Anni N is funny
Bruh
37,005,903 is what I calced from the builder using SC Diantha's sync move against fighting-weak Cynthia with:
- Max defensive and strength params
- -6 Def. and Sp. Def.
- SEUN for SC Diantha
- Fighting zone
- Support EX sync buff for SC Diantha
- Super Powered 3
37M even with 244 defensive stats
41,401,368 is what I calced from the builder using Anni N's sync move using the same stats as fighting-weak Cynthia but instead of fighting zone, there's sun, Weathered Warrior 3 LS and also -2 fire rebuff
So technically, if fighting rebuff lower existed, SC Diantha would still be the strongest sync nuker of all time
So, water-weak Flint next week, is it meant to demonstrate Kris's expanded grid?
Because her new grid is just like Silver levels of expanded grid
No SeUp but it might also be for Sshilbert
but wise entry right?
Discourage
oh ok
Seeing tate hit such high numbers will always be funny to me
Why not sync with Tate? 
Hey, 12k zen headbutt is good too 
Damn this is indeed a terrible week to go to 10kpts
Flint just OHKOs any support i use with fire blast
Have you tried debuffing him?
I can't find someone who has good stats (300+ def sp def) and debuff or support Gio and debuff
I'm just gonna stop at 7.5k this week even though I can go for maybe 1k pts more
If flint fire blasts just reset
Yeah that is pretty much the only solution if I want more points
and anything below 300 stats gets consistently 3hkoed at 2k pre sync
Classic CSMM

If you have a spare Sycamore you can beat flint with a long sycamore stall
But presyncingg still probably easier
Well, faster
Hmm
Best I can probably do is just get 1.5k with bianca gio sycamore
Just went for 800 to get my 7.5k points first
this can 2k, definitely
if flint fire blasts just reset
Hi, I cannot beat Bertha (round 3 MM) with SS Gio EXd/Hop/Skyla EXd
... Which is weird and probably me doing wrong parameters
Can someone help?
what params are you running? that team looks fine to me
did you check the pinned parameters?
pre-sync or post-sync 2k
unless you wanna do less
which is totally fine
850 and 1500 are perfect
I've checked the pins, I'm doing the 1500 post sync
i see, you triple queue correctly? Sync with Skyla first?
use Gio's dynamax nuke after her sync as well
I have trouble to triple queue :/
But usually I'm using Take Flight/Hop to it/Steel spike, then Skyla sync, Metal claw/Gust/Max move, World of pain, then Gio Syn
My game is in normal speed btw
does it lag or something whenever you try to triple queue?
A bit
ah, that makes this complicated
try turning your game's resolution to low quality
maybe that can do something
the first 3 turns of triplequeueing can be hard if it's a phone issue
make sure you also play on basic speed 1x
you have to enter the fight knowing what moves you'll press
and immediately queue 3 moves before the opponent does their one
you have a 2-3 seconds window at best
It is already 😢
I'd go:
Hop TM 3 times
Skyla TM 3 times (or just use gust if no MPR)
Giovanni TM, then use a non-super effective move
Skyla syncs, then use max steel spike right after that
the idea is to keep the super effective up next for the max move
after that, spam iron tail
Kay I'll try
SS Gio gets OS postsync by rock slide after killing tyrannytar :/
was the max steel spike not enough to almost one-shot bertha, at least?
SS Gio gets oneshot by rock slide despite +6 defense? wtf?
Hop TM has MP refresh from sync grid?
Hm
I also forgot that Gio has iron tail
Guess im definitely reattempting CS during the weekend
What do yall use for Lucian 2k?
I used EX Sonia, Selene and Mallow
I used the dynamic duo of SSR Cynthia + SS Korrina with Festival Hilda for Support
I’m reasonably sure the fight was originally designed for Fall Morty and Fall Acerola
I managed to do Lucian at round 2
Hm, what did you replce no stat reduction with
For parameters
I had half HP and half healing params
Yes, and it did so much better than my previous team
Pre
I didn't even do a 2nd sync
#1009554906568462476 message
This is my team and params
It was, they're the recommended pairs
Oh
My lucian team is (and has always been, for ghost-weak): Red/Morty/SSR Cynthia
I guess I could just check who the recommended pairs are, but I really like trying to figure it out myself
Yup ,and some are more obvious than others
I mainly use Gio for ghost-weak unless it's like Lucian
Like Fire weak Aaron being designed for Anniversary N
Endure (ignore by Piercing Blows), more susceptible to Attack and Sp. Def. debuffs (Noble Roar + Mind Games), more susceptible to Burn (Blue Flare)
I mean, any DD will work for Aaron
Yeah I don't understand either
Hop and Skyla have both TM refresh
What params?
I know, but the fight is clearly designed to play to Anniversary N’s strengths
1500 post sync according to the person
Lemme screen
Wild in a good way
Max offensive?
i don't know lol i'm not the user in question
What's your team?
And if you need the team
Can't you just use Critical Crit 9 for SS Gio?
SS Giovanni shouldn’t be getting one-shot
well they did mention they have lag issues
Ah
and as i always say, this game is 30% team, 70% gameplay
you can have the most whaley team, if you can't properly play, it doesn't matter
Replace Hop for an attack debuffer since SS Gio won't need crit support anyways
May just need to turn down the settings to try and make the game less laggy then
Get SS Gio's Critical Crit 9
No stat reduction isn't picked? Is this for the small chance to debuff with iron tail?
@grim island Do you have Masked Royal?
Ah yes, masked royal is good to lower bertha's attack and defense
What round is he doing bertha on
I do have Masked Royal.
Doing Bertha round 3
Can I see your SS Gio grid?
Sure
Oh r3? Good then, I think Masked Royal can replace Skyla
Why do you have Surging Sand when no one will set up sandstorm anyways?
It's in case I pair him with Ground type users
You can just make a separate grid for that
You can have 4 different presets to swap between as needed
This is the build I recommend
Superduper effective is only for regular moves right
Iron Tail will one-shot the sides when you kill Bertha
Yeah
Yeah, otherwise it'd be Super Powered
Double Down is for Sync, Super Powered is both
For both
And MAX Double Down is Max Moves
Ah, super powered doesn't count max moves?
I’m actually not sure, but since it doesn’t specify Max Moves I’m guessing probably not
When I sync’d with May over Tate I thought it was because May’s tech nuke cal’d off of psychic zone, not innately special attack lower.
It does not help max moves.
@grim island did you ever beat Bertha?
Yeah, took a while but I managed to beat Bertha with SS Gio/Hop/Skyla, seems I had to kill tyrannytar pre-sync to avoid a SS Gio OS :/
The rest of CS went smoothly!
It was just round 3 -w-
Great! Just wanted to make sure!
I got no clue on how to beat Lucian in the elite four in cs
Hard Mode or Master Mode and what team are you using?
Hard
And I don't even have a team yet
Idk what I should use
Show us your roster (ideally screenshot from the move level menu) and let us know who you’ve used already if you’ve faced some of the Elite 4 already this week so we can give the best possible advice
I've used victini
Kyurem black I think and xerneas
Already beat aaron
Bc victini balanced
Could try Masked Royal + Aaron + Phoebe for Lucian
Which pokemon r those
Ik incineroar
Idek who Aaron is
Or phoebe
Incineroar, Vespiquen, and Dusknoir
I need to rewatch pokemon damn
Who should be getting hit first and second
Aaron 1st, Phoebe 2nd, Masked Royal 3rd. Alternatively you could try using Morty + Aaron + SS Elesa
Ty habibi imma try rn
I got down to bronzong and got killed
Rip
Who should I focus first
Metagross?
Focus the center 1st
Aaron does that as well
Oh yes defend order
And since he’s only 1/5 he’ll start doing that sooner
Should be more than sufficient for Hard Mode
He’s a pretty loaded Support
Why must game deny me such useful supports
RNG is just like that sometimes
What abt beating the fire dude
Is masked royal gridded?
No clue
I doubt it
Lemme check
He wasnt
So what's the grid for him
Nvm ion even have enough orbs
Ikka try to beat the fire dude
I think SS blue should be fine right
What else for the fire dude
I'm thinking
SS blue
And mewtwo
Idk a third doe
Rosa
Which pokemon is that
Surperior
Please use #1010274591601598555 for sharing videos / clears that aren't help related
I'ma be honest a 5/5 Hilda should be able to clap him pretty easily
But yeah use her on Aaron instead
That’s not even honesty that’s just fact
Hilda can easily kill Aaron at 1/5 and especially on only hard mode
Keep forgetting to get my csmm done 😅
If you want to try again go for full point on round 1 and on Cynthia then you only need 200 elsewhere
@wide silo https://streamable.com/zu51zp
I didn’t sync with my silver as he’s ex but you can sync with yours
My silber is also not griddded
Eh video not loading for me
Trash internet
Oh thx dude
Yw 🦑
Yeah Aaron got deleted very easily
Only 2 days until the final week of this Sinnoh CS run
The final test of my new roster additions is Electric weak Aaron
Can't wait to properly face Aaron with an electric type
I off typed him the first and that's wasn't even MM 
do you have electric rats
I already had to use my 2k Get out of jail free card (yes, i have both of them)

Me with avalugg early game
I thought he was good af
Turns out nope
Probs just average at best
I could 10k this week but not exactly the person to spend hours dealing with whether Bertha is going to earthquake or Flint going to fire blast
never used avalugg before tbh
what steel strikers you have, and which e4 did you use electric rat on
SSgio iron tail, others don't even get close for dps
Think i just gave up and ratted Bertha
bertha spamming eq is annoying indeed
2k aaron, cynthia, bertha, then just got 1.5k for the rest and called it a week
I was fortunate enough to have Steven so I could fish for iron head flinches
nice
I have Grimsley but he's just a one-off metal burster
I wonder what's the next CS
My money is on Hoenn
Great, back-to-back challenging CS
Assuming they don’t add Drasna and Malva next month
I would say Johto
We haven’t had alola for while
I haven’t seen Johto or Alola yet
Wasn't Alola back in July?
We have no idea what the next Villain Arc is
They haven’t been in order so far?
Besides, they’re not gonna run 2 Villain Arcs back-to-back
No, we had Kanto -> Sinnoh -> Johto -> Hoenn -> Unova
Kinda went in order
It will be on 2023 for the 10 years
I have a really stupid question, is it just me or does Lillie and Lunala does no dmg? I might be using them wrong so i'm asking for suggestions
I think Sinnoh came first to go with the schedule of Legends Arceus releasing
because money
Lucian has wise entry x2, meaning his base spdef is twice as much. Usually you need a physical attacker but I believe a fully grid Lunala with ghost zone can pierce through it. Also Lunala and Solgaleo can't ignore entry x2 passives.
i'll try the grid thing but i don't have any ghost zone setter...
Then it's better if you off type the stage. On R4 a physical nuker like Sidney can easily do it.
i'll off type then, tyvm for the help!
I did it with Skyla/Sidney and a unit to provide spdef buffs and extra heal.
Can someone help me with my team
Im trying to win against Aaron
But im still losing with this team
Are you using Heat Wave or what? Note: don't.
Try using someone not as squishy as Lyra, I guess
Im spamming blast burn
Cool, what goes wrong?
Well, I start using Dire Hit Red, Dire Hit All (Lyra), Sun thingy from Blaine and Sun from Lyra
After that I keep spamming Blast Burn and Red Sync Move
But im still dying
Do you know what Triple queue is?
No, I dont
Go to the settings and turn Action Order display on then
Its turned on
e
Which team should I use against Bertha?
The same you send screenshot with Hop?
Depends on your Steel coverage
Once again, that wasn't me, just another question-asking-guy
Fr
So, should I use Hop main?
Since hes steel
You can turn off pings when you reply btw.
Hop is a good pick, he can both tank, buff and deal damage
Oh, mb
You can add another physical dps + speed buffer to sustain gauge
Deoxys might be better to save as it’s an excellent off type dps
Deoxys Speed is more support-oriented, iirc
Oh
Use Skyla if you haven't yet
Attack Forme is the Sync nuker. But better to save it for Flint if you haven't beaten him yet
The only one I won against was Aaron
You know we can't just guess what characters you have, right?
Screenshot your Steel-types or something
Sure
Should I get screenshot from 4stars too?
Filter for steel
Just because a pair is 3-4 star doesn't mean it is bad
Hop, Skyla Solgaleo
Why is Solgaleo 1/5?
Wasnt using him
He’s free.
Just... updrage it anyway. It's free.
There is literally zero reason to not 5/5 20/20 Solgaleo
Most legendary adventures characters I have isn't 5/5 20/20
Clear Legendary Adventures, give all of them 20 powerups you get
Legendary Adventures pairs are amazing, just... use'em
Or at least upgrade them so you are ready to use'em
There is absolutely no reason to not
Can't even make the argument that it's too much time, because if you don't have enough time to actually put the investment in them you don't have time to play the game anyways
Skip cutscene button go brrr
But in this game, options are your friends. Regardless of usage, the more you have that can be used the better.
Did this video not work for you yesterday for Aaron?
Eh I were still losing
Uh there's a problem
I cant get solgaleo to max level
"Max level"?
What level is it?
112
It should be fine if you got it 5/5 20/20
Gang up and hit it 'till it dies
What about targets tho?
Mid.
Not talking about that
Hop can be targeted first for Freevenge, don't forget to heal him with Skyla
Hop -> Skyla -> Solgaleo
Okay
Sure
Rule of thumb is that if your team has a Support, the Support should be targeted 1st by the opponent
How should I use trainer move?
Hop needs to use his Trainer Move 3 times. If he doesn't get an MP Refresh just reset
Skyla uses her Trainer Move 2 or 3 times depending on if you get MP Refresh
Solgaleo should be able to just spam Sunsteel Strike
Don't use Hop's Behemoth Bash unless you have the free move effect from Freevenge, just use Metal Claw if it's not active
Ok
Still losing tho
Im doing everything you said
Solgaleo is dying from earthquake and boss sync move
Since it does AoE dmg
NVM BRO
JUST WON
I think I wasnt doing triple queue right
That's why I was losing
Nah bro this team is actually too op
Against Flint, which team should I use?
Deoxys main?
Deoxsys doesn’t really want anything but a psychic terrain bot
A tank would also be helpful to at least provide a Fire Blast buffer
Misty starmie / Deoxys / Bianca would work
But uh
I cant lvl up their
Since I dont have lvl up book
I won against Flint using Steven, Rosa and Sycamore
Which team should I use against Lucian?
Well show your ghosts
There’s Gio for ghost
I beat lucian with Gio with F2P teams and whale teams he works lel
He ignores entry
Ah-hah, electric-weak Aaron tomorrow
I wonder if I should use ss hilbert or just bring back good 'ol Hau, now with EX. Or I can run both 
So much frustration going to be released on Aaron tomorrow
His introduction to the Zeus rodents, ss hilbert and probably even Kris and jolteon
By this time, I think they'll give out NY Volkner for free.
Look for help with a grid build for a 2/5 ash 2k cs solo against flint?
Can try it out based on the 3/5 showcases out there
Not sure if it's possible without the sync countdown reduction thing
And the nuke after that
Defog doesn’t make weather go away I believe except for dog
Terrain would be weather wouldn't it
No
Terrain is like grassy terrain and electric terrain
Otherwise it’s specifically state weather
Defog never had the power to clear weather effects apart from fog. Neither in the mainline games nor at the sideline games.
Y'all get your anime plot armor bois ready tomorrow, it's time for vengeance
I only have the alolan rat
Well, I also have sst red who's going to destroy aaron either way
Hi guys
Csmm round 1
Tried to beat Flint with my psychic team but kills Bianca too quick
Using Bianca, Sabrina and Giotwo
what parameters are you using?
Also isnt round 1 not recommended to do flint on?
Because flint uses a lot of special moves that hit very hard
oh yeah dont fight Flint on round 1
Do someone else for round 1
Got it 👍🏻
Most likely aaron since you won't be using Sp attacks for bertha and lucian either
Is there an order I should fight the stadium?
Pins give you a guide and idea of how the opponents are like for this week
You can decide from there
👍
Who's a good teammate for Hop and Solgaleo 2k?
The other steels i have are Jasmine 1, Aegislash 5, dugtrio1 and Throton
No I'm relatively new
So this
Hilbert 3 with Defense crush?
Hilbert overlaps with Hop tho
Either replace Hop or fine someone else
Marley would be a good choice
She's isn't gridded and she isn't tanky enough no?
Oh okay
Or just hard?
I'm trying for 2k or 1.9k
Marley is ground weak, so you should use post sync params (pinned in this channel)
Offtyped R1 Aaron with Ash, Sonia, Volkner
Okay
I always use that itself since I don't have anyone else strong enough to pre sync
Skyla is standard
I wanted to suggest her, but her defense buff kinda overlap with Hop
I got one shot with the sync move with post sync :'
One earthquakes wipes out Marley
Wtf is this type weakness where the opposite is actually supereffective against the recommendation
I wasted sync orbs on this waste unit smh
Head Start 1 is a headache since you cant use 2 syncs before the opponent first sync unless you bring a sync move cd reduction pair
Smh i always forgot to type "cant"
Hes getting one shot at full health
Forgot that Solgaleo is also ground weak lol
I even removed the atk spatk and strength 1 parameters
Even with max defense stats?
I think you should offtype her
I'm using exactly the parameters listed in that guide picture
Yeah 3 Hop tm and 3 Skyla tms
I guess you can grid Skyla for Gust Staggering when you kill Bertha
🤡I have nothing better
Roster nov 26 https://imgur.com/a/yMX0s0D
You could try wikstrom or moylane
Their Molayne is uninvested
I have nomo sync orbs left
Or you can debuff their attack stat
Gotta hope for very good Skyla MPr
I didn't see your entire collection, but do you have Masked Royal?
Yeah 1/5 no grid
Maybe May can offtype her with Muddy Water spam and nuke
Why not use him for Bertha?
Dont ever click on Earth Power
Because Bertha has lesser resistances to attack and defense debuffs
So Masked Royal will definitely be perfect against her
Move gauge issues
Didn't work
MR tm have a +3 speed to all allies
2 of those is instant +6 speed on everyone
Masked Royal can boost speed, but that wouldn't be a problem since Skyla boosts speed to your entire team
Oh
Wait, but who will buff crit anyways?
Still getting one shot by sync🙂
Understandable since Solgaleo is weak to ground unfortuately
Chuck it
Thanks everyone
I'll just tone it down
I got a headache trying to make this work
I used MSol too and yeah sync wipes them out haha
Luckily the rest of my steel team could take down Bertha
Hop comes in clutch
what characters is good against Flint? Saw pins and Flint is hitting way harder then expected
hmmm because i'm running into problems with survialbility,and was wondering if i have to lower the parameters because of characters, or just need better strategies
giovanni was used for bertha
i am trying to save ash for cynthia to make it easier, but can use ash team for flint if needed
They mean regular Giovanni, the one with Mewtwo
ah right
i tried using giovanni's main team, but my bianca is getting killed by 2nd move
Aside from aaron who will get x2 in next CS?
Pokemas tool in the pin allows you to check
am... am I seeing this correctly? electric-weak aaron is so weak to debuffs lmao?
Stall material
I wanted to use daddy archie for flint
But seems he would lower sp atk every move and entry
I guess it's sharpedo/nessa week
2022/11/28- 2022/12/05
Electric-weak Aaron: Mid is mixed with a physical sync, left is mostly physical, right is fully special. Very bulky HP (almost 29k). Has low resistance to attack, def, sp attack, sp def debuffs (Lessen 3). No resistance to speed debuffs. Has low resistance to paralysis (Lessen 5). All 3 have Sentry Entry x2 which doubles the base defense stat (Piercing Blows and other moves with a similar effect do not ignore this). Special moves are recommended. Has massive Heal Order right before sync (heals by 50%).
Tip: You can flinch/sleep the Heal Order. Aaron won't try using it again.
Grass-weak Bertha: Fully physical stage. Sets sandstorm upon entry and extends the duration of sandstorm. Has a lot of sand-related passives so changing the weather is recommended. Has low resistance to attack debuffs (Lessen 3). Has low resistance to confusion (Lessen Confusion 5).
Water-weak Flint: Mid is mostly special, left is fully special, right is mostly physical. Low resistance to attack and special attack debuffs (Lessen 3). The stage debuffs your special attack and special defense a lot. Mid has Good Form and Rising Tide, which increase the power of moves and sync moves the more his stats are raised. Sets up Stat Reduction Defense effect after sync.
Dark-weak Lucian: Mid is mixed with a physical sync, sides are fully special. Has low resistance to defense debuffs (Lessen 3). All 3 have Wise Entry x2 which ***doubles the base special defense stat ***(Piercing Blows and other moves with a similar effect do not ignore this). Physical moves is recommended.
Fighting-weak Cynthia: Mid is fully special, sides are fully physical. Has low resistance to defense, sp defense, and speed debuffs (Lessen 3). The stage debuffs your speed and accuracy a lot. All 3 have Ripple Effect 9 to make the debuffs AOE. ***Mid has Ramming Speed ***which increases the power of moves the more speed is raised.
Tip: Bring an Impervious tank.
Looks like my Nessa will be occupied for dark-weak again. Kris grid expansion came just in time
Good gosh, Grass weak Bertha is designed for Mallow
Which Water type cab debuff atk/spatk?
Don't think there's any. probably referring to SS Misty
iirc you can flinch heal order.
That was the hope
Wonder how the eeveelutions work at 1/5. They need to sync for terrain/weather and it seems kinda less optimum for CS
At 3/5 it would be worth it I guess
OH YEAAAH
the battle favors ss misty
because of good form and rising tide
...and yet the stage debuffs sp attack a lot, what the heck
dena really said: yes ss misty is very niche so here's another stage for her
oh right, let me put that in
Just gonna have DGloria kick the crap out of Flint
Flint is probably easy right? only attack is buffed not health
since it's a pokemon move
Honestly
Only one I ever had trouble with next week is Electric Weak Aaron
But this time around I have the anime rat so lol
Ooh time to let Kris come out and play
Please DeNA, give us the dupe trainer update tonight
Vaporeon has Mist
Cant wait to use 3 Sonia in the same tea- oh wait
Another annoyance I'll have to deal with is that my Grass and Fighting teams both use Fall Caitlin. Fortunately I can just run Nita on my Grass team
Unfortunately that means no Support EX tho
please dena I want to run ss kris and kris together TOMORROW
Still don't know how that charging infliction works on her. As in how is it useful. Using a two gauge non damaging move does seem difficult to slot in
Also don't understand why she wasn't made tanky
Are good form and rising tide the ones that also provide negatives when debuffed?
No
I don’t think there is anything that provides negative effects to the passive holder when debuffed. Iirc Fluid Fortification is the closest thing and even at max debuffs it’s just 0% damage reduction, though I could be wrong
that's fluid fortification
You mean like an inverse proportion kind of thing?
hmm slight correction, fluid fortification is about damage taken, not damage dealt
Who’s ready for all the “why does my [insert wrong category damage-dealer here] do no damage against Lucian/Aaron?” questions tomorrow
I don't think Aaron's any trouble now
the ss hilbert pullers be winning
and of course there's the ash owners
smh new players these days are spoiled
now I'm just waiting for wise entry x2 electric-weak
but even then Ash can rip through it anyway
Elesa time if that happens
and as for dark, I'm not too worried. I think we have more physical dark strikers than special
me with N and sst red 
Yeah, gonna be seeing if BP Karen + Masked Royal + Hop works against Lucian tomorrow with Nessa as a backup plan to replace BP Karen
I wanna try out options I haven’t tried before tho
Plus if I can avoid using Nessa against Lucian I have Nessa Nuke as a backup plan if Kris can’t beat Flint
Just like with SS Wally damage capping WE x2 fairy-weak Cynthia
my plan is the other way around lol. I'm using Nessa for Lucian (like I always do) and my newly EX'd Kris will murder Flint
can't wait to see SST Red damage capping Sentry Entry x2 Aaron too
Meanwhile, I an intellectual plan to use Classic Elesa against Aaron
If they release the dupe trainer update tonight I can even try the triple Elesa comp against Aaron
A. Skyla + Holiday Skyla
Dream duo right there
Kris + SS Kris is another big one
Allister + Fall Allister gonna be pog
-2 rebuff + all of allisters toxic power and restrained boost monstrosities
And then you add on a 540 base power max move
Whenever Vaporeon uses Mist or Haze, you will get 4 gauges
so excited to try out that ripple effect screech
I thought that’s as on grid
It's one of his base passives
Colress does have go viral on his grid.
Why is CS quiet lol
Bruh the one moment Hau didn't die from sync he didn't crit his sync 
Oof
Been there, had losses like that haha
... oh whoops
Guess who entered a fight with DGloria and forgot to turn off no debuff restriction
Me LMAO
Still won though
Aight Aaron is giving me a headache I'll just off type
Yeah Aaron is one of the worst fights
Waiting for the update to finish. After that it's revenge time.
Good ol' reliable
Alright easy CS mm
Wanted to make next week’s team but alas
Huh
Did NOT expect Hoenn already
Hoenn Stadium time for hard shit
The poor newbies LMAO
hey thts me
im poor newbies
2 weeks in

i did clear sinnoh cs at least and got 4.2k mm clear so i think ill be ok for hoenn
unless its harder than sinnoh
😔
Nah I found Hoenn easier for my roster
aii itll be fine probs then
Steel weak Glacia is absolutely hilarious though
Basically the Aaron of Hoenn
YOOO LEESSSGGGOOOO NO BRAINDEAD MONTH AGAIN
Don’t got Raihan? Good luck
Raihan lol
He's kinda semi permanent now but at the same time
