...speaking of Cynthia

#

it's time

#

...wait, I don't remember having SS Serena, though?

#

oh wait

#

I do

#

SS Serena is her with Zygarde

onyx ice
#

I could try to do a clear with an accessible kimono grimsley team

storm moss
#

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

verbal karma
#

...wait

#

which Candice?

#

the one with Froslass?

zealous karma
#

They should’ve given flints stage brain teaser and furious brain

#

Doesn’t hit hard enough

verbal karma
#

...I ran out of 3* Creamy Lucky Cookies 😦

#

and SS Serena still has no Dauntless 😦

lunar dawn
#

just making sure
it's going to be a hard clear regardless

#

Ah you already posted them
Sorry to bother you

verbal karma
#

...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

lunar dawn
#

you can use lodge stones though if you really need them
all it costs you is 1 level on a 140 pair

mellow linden
#

Though I guess it technically doesn't matter

storm moss
hidden ore
#

Ok, so I did Aaron on r2, now r3 and r4 left

#

Bertha on r3 and what params do you recommend?

verbal karma
#

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

onyx ice
storm moss
#

Nuuu

onyx ice
mellow linden
#

Sun or Rain would work too, but since you have SS Serena you can afford to use Candice for type medal purposes

zealous karma
#

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

keen jasper
zealous karma
#

It’s unfortunate steel types commonly known as the most defensive type F2P options don’t have defense stats

storm moss
#

I just bloody suck

zealous karma
#

What stage are you doing?

onyx ice
#

Bertha can be one of the most annoying stages without op units

#

Head start is annoying

zealous karma
#

Jasmine SSB hop could be a nice steel DPS option I used gloria and jasmine

#

Very annoying

keen jasper
#

I'm just thankful to have SS Gio

onyx ice
#

I mean with SS Giovanni was a cakewalk

zealous karma
#

I’m glad o have jasmine

keen jasper
zealous karma
#

But jasmine isn’t F2P

#

Both

keen jasper
#

Hmmmm ok

zealous karma
#

I was able to pre sync with her and Gloria but man F2P steel units are not great lel

onyx ice
zealous karma
#

Why did they make Bertha hit so hard when gloria is so frail

zealous karma
#

Got Calem and will to work for psychic and Gio for ghost 🦑

storm moss
#

I have SS gio

#

But 1/5

#

Butt

#

I FINALLY DEFEATED HERRRR

zealous karma
#

He’s good at all move levels

storm moss
#

Idc

#

I FINALLY BEAT HER 😭

verbal karma
#

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

full mesa
#

Yes

#

It'll make your life easier.

verbal karma
#

alright, so my guess was right

#

thanks for the confirmation

full mesa
#

Zerena gets no boost from the other 3 field effects.

#

Unless you plan to use a spdef debuffer.

verbal karma
#

alright, I have done it!

#

thanks, everyone

#

Power ups hype

hidden ore
#

The parameters though

#

What should I do there?

#

Bertha on r3

void wyvern
#

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.

hidden ore
#

Which support?

void wyvern
#

Any support Ex

hidden ore
#

Thinking about Aaron

void wyvern
#

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.

hidden ore
#

Rosa first target or Hop?

void wyvern
#

Target hop

hidden ore
#

Presync or post Sync?

#

@void wyvern

void wyvern
#

Pre sync

hidden ore
void wyvern
#

And is it working or are you having trouble?

hidden ore
#

I might've messed this up

void wyvern
#

Are you not able to win with these parameters or are you showing me to see if it works?

hidden ore
#

Tried first time 🙈

#

Just something with that bulk

#

And strategy maybe

#

Sync with Rosa?

#

Or Hop?

void wyvern
#

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

hidden ore
#

It worked!

#

I used iron tail instead of mega kick

#

Rhyperior was ko'ed by gmax

void wyvern
#

Well if it works no harm no foul

swift swan
#

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

river pagoda
#

O.god

#

I think I made a mistake

#

I left Bertha for R4

#

On MM

#

I shudve used

#

R2 on her

#

Instead of Lucian

keen jasper
#

It's a neutral round for Bertha

#

She doesn't have any debuffs

river pagoda
#

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

#

😩

toxic cobalt
#

Good luck

swift swan
#

what's the flint team?

#

he hits very hard but psychic is so oversaturated, you'll be fine

river pagoda
#

bianca gio sycamore

#

i think ill be fine

#

maybe swap out sycamore for ssb

#

def buffs

#

wait no

#

flint is special

#

keep sycamore

river pagoda
swift swan
#

that's a good team

#

just use Giovanni's TM twice to max his crit

river pagoda
#

Yessir

river pagoda
#

Took a break and come back and I assume this is gonna be anticlimactic like the last 2 times on hard mode

#

😩

swift swan
#

Very much so

#

Dragon-weak cynthia is piss easy, just change the weather

river pagoda
#

may'

swift swan
#

That'll work!

zealous karma
rigid flint
#

Oh yeah Zerena destroyed Cynthia

river pagoda
#

oh its reset time

toxic cobalt
#

Champions always are

river pagoda
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

I rate steel weak Bertha as the worst CS stage, even more than electric-weak Aaron

river pagoda
#

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*

toxic cobalt
#

Strong defences combined with a powerful attack move

river pagoda
#

eek oki

dark osprey
river pagoda
#

aoe moves

#

my beloved

#

😔

swift swan
toxic cobalt
rigid flint
#

Oh no fairy weak cynthia is like a cat whilst steel weak bertha is a lion

swift swan
#

Steel-weak bertha didn't feel hard to me

rigid flint
#

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

swift swan
#

I wasn't even using ss gio. I have a 3/5 ex steven SophoKEK

rigid flint
#

Oh lmao

dark osprey
rigid flint
#

Yeah steven still holds up hella well for steel weak

#

Oh yeah does Kimono grims manage to one shot bertha with metal burst?

toxic cobalt
#

Guess you put AnniLili in fairy zone or something to match

rigid flint
#

Since bertha's high horsepower does a ton of damage

dark osprey
#

then can metal burst one side as well

rigid flint
#

Ah

dark osprey
#

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

rigid flint
#

God damn

#

Man this is why I wish I had kimono grimsley

toxic cobalt
#

3/5?

rigid flint
#

He seems so fun to use

toxic cobalt
dark osprey
#

True. I honestly thought he was just metal burst. But his nuke is great too

swift swan
#

I'm not good at using k grimsley lol

polar dome
#

which round do yall think is best to do flint in

dark osprey
#

probably 2nd or 4th. try avoiding 1st

polar dome
#

what team comp did you happen to use for flint

dark osprey
#

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

polar dome
#

yea I have Giovanni, unfortunately not EX

dark osprey
#

r u aiming for a 10K clear?

polar dome
#

yea 10k (also poison stall on flint insane)

onyx ice
dark osprey
#

oh. maybe if u post ur roster here. someone would be able to help with teams

polar dome
#

any recommendation from the general pool will do actually

#

I have most of it :))

onyx ice
#

But if you don't have Giovanni ex i assume no Rosa ex either

polar dome
#

I think I have rosa serperior EX

dark osprey
#

i guess Rosa EX is kinda free from the Bingo

onyx ice
dark osprey
#

I think it comes for new players

#

so all do get it. some exchange the powerups though

onyx ice
#

Then it's free real estate

dark osprey
#

which is a mistake

polar dome
#

does sabrina pair good with gio

onyx ice
#

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

dark osprey
#

true

#

could try with Gio, Sabrina & Bianca

polar dome
#

coins to 5* power ups

onyx ice
#

Maybe they could had like a monthly trade for champion spirits to a candy coin

polar dome
mellow linden
#

Giovanni won't survive Flint's Sync regardless, so probably

frosty axle
mellow linden
#

Did he? Huh, alright

frosty axle
mellow linden
#

Probably depends on team comp then

toxic cobalt
#

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.

dark osprey
#

Was wondering if they too have some tech multiplier or so

swift swan
rose ermine
#

Can calem offtype a sinnoh stage

swift swan

#

He def can

#

With 9 sync buffs

verbal karma
#

...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?

#

You get to pick one of the kanto ss trio

verbal karma
#

You mean you can do it a second time?

sinful garden
#

lets you choose between ssred, ssblue and ssleaf

#

What's waiting for me in the second half of the Victory Road?

sinful garden
#

there is no 2nd half

#

i dont think i understand what you're talking abt

Probably have to screenshot to know what you mean

#

could you screenshot your victory road screen

Damn

#

Damn, I almost damage capped Aaron using Silver without any defense debuffs

#

Who needs debuffs when you've got theme skills?

zealous karma
#

Max def?

keen jasper
#

Also, I gave Silver WW3

zealous karma
#

Ah

river pagoda
#

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 ^

void wyvern
keen jasper
void wyvern
#

If that’s possible.

zealous karma
#

It is

#

Probably our best nuker

#

Ani n

#

With rebuff -6 SpDef and Sun

keen jasper
zealous karma
#

Fire rebuff makes him outedhe her

old orchid
#

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

zealous karma
#

Bruh

keen jasper
#

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

zealous karma
#

Comedy

#

Good game design

keen jasper
#

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

keen jasper
#

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

zealous karma
dark osprey
#

but wise entry right?

keen jasper
dark osprey
#

oh ok

zealous karma
#

#

It’s for the new Lyra

#

And kris jolteon

void wyvern
toxic cobalt
#

Why not sync with Tate? MarleyWhat

swift swan
#

Hey, 12k zen headbutt is good too SophoKEK

keen silo
#

Damn this is indeed a terrible week to go to 10kpts

#

Flint just OHKOs any support i use with fire blast

keen jasper
keen silo
#

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

brazen fable
#

?

#

You don’t need 300+ stats

#

You just need someone to buff and live for theyre ex

toxic cobalt
#

If flint fire blasts just reset

keen silo
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

Classic CSMM

keen silo
toxic cobalt
#

If you have a spare Sycamore you can beat flint with a long sycamore stall

#

But presyncingg still probably easier

#

Well, faster

keen silo
#

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

swift swan
#

if flint fire blasts just reset

grim island
#

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?

swift swan
#

what params are you running? that team looks fine to me

tribal agate
#

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

grim island
#

I've checked the pins, I'm doing the 1500 post sync

tribal agate
#

i see, you triple queue correctly? Sync with Skyla first?

#

use Gio's dynamax nuke after her sync as well

grim island
#

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

swift swan
#

does it lag or something whenever you try to triple queue?

grim island
#

A bit

swift swan
#

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

tribal agate
#

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

grim island
#

It is already 😢

swift swan
#

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

grim island
#

Kay I'll try

grim island
#

SS Gio gets OS postsync by rock slide after killing tyrannytar :/

swift swan
#

was the max steel spike not enough to almost one-shot bertha, at least?

tribal agate
#

SS Gio gets oneshot by rock slide despite +6 defense? wtf?

keen silo
#

Hop TM has MP refresh from sync grid?

mellow linden
#

Yes

#

If you haven’t grabbed it yet do so, it’s basically mandatory for him

keen silo
#

Hm

#

I also forgot that Gio has iron tail

#

Guess im definitely reattempting CS during the weekend

#

What do yall use for Lucian 2k?

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

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

keen silo
#

My fall morty does nothing

#

Probably because its at 1/5

keen jasper
#

I managed to do Lucian at round 2

keen silo
#

For parameters

keen jasper
keen silo
#

Whatt

#

Did u do pre/post sync??

keen jasper
#

Yes, and it did so much better than my previous team

keen jasper
#

I didn't even do a 2nd sync

#

#1009554906568462476 message

#

This is my team and params

swift swan
mellow linden
#

Oh

swift swan
#

My lucian team is (and has always been, for ghost-weak): Red/Morty/SSR Cynthia

mellow linden
#

I guess I could just check who the recommended pairs are, but I really like trying to figure it out myself

swift swan
#

Yup ,and some are more obvious than others

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

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)

And if you need the team

swift swan
#

Damn, 3/5 too

#

I can't see why you're having trouble

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

SS Giovanni shouldn’t be getting one-shot

tribal agate
#

well they did mention they have lag issues

mellow linden
#

Ah

tribal agate
#

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

keen jasper
#

Replace Hop for an attack debuffer since SS Gio won't need crit support anyways

mellow linden
#

May just need to turn down the settings to try and make the game less laggy then

keen jasper
#

Get SS Gio's Critical Crit 9

swift swan
#

No stat reduction isn't picked? Is this for the small chance to debuff with iron tail?

keen jasper
#

@grim island Do you have Masked Royal?

swift swan
#

Ah yes, masked royal is good to lower bertha's attack and defense

keen silo
#

What round is he doing bertha on

keen jasper
#

Oh yeah, what are you doing Bertha?

#

Slammurai?

grim island
#

I do have Masked Royal.
Doing Bertha round 3

keen jasper
grim island
#

Sure

swift swan
#

Oh r3? Good then, I think Masked Royal can replace Skyla

grim island
keen jasper
# grim island

Why do you have Surging Sand when no one will set up sandstorm anyways?

grim island
#

It's in case I pair him with Ground type users

mellow linden
#

You can just make a separate grid for that

#

You can have 4 different presets to swap between as needed

keen jasper
#

This is the build I recommend

swift swan
#

Superduper effective is only for regular moves right

keen jasper
#

Iron Tail will one-shot the sides when you kill Bertha

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

Double Down is for Sync, Super Powered is both

keen jasper
#

For both

mellow linden
#

And MAX Double Down is Max Moves

swift swan
#

Ah, super powered doesn't count max moves?

mellow linden
#

I’m actually not sure, but since it doesn’t specify Max Moves I’m guessing probably not

void wyvern

@grim island did you ever beat Bertha?

The rest of CS went smoothly!

#

It was just round 3 -w-

void wyvern
#

Great! Just wanted to make sure!

eager kiln
#

I got no clue on how to beat Lucian in the elite four in cs

mellow linden
#

Hard Mode or Master Mode and what team are you using?

eager kiln
#

And I don't even have a team yet

#

Idk what I should use

mellow linden
#

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

eager kiln
#

I've used victini

#

Kyurem black I think and xerneas

#

Already beat aaron

#

Bc victini balanced

mellow linden
#

Could try Masked Royal + Aaron + Phoebe for Lucian

eager kiln
#

Ik incineroar

#

Idek who Aaron is

#

Or phoebe

mellow linden
#

Incineroar, Vespiquen, and Dusknoir

eager kiln
#

I need to rewatch pokemon damn

eager kiln
mellow linden
#

Aaron 1st, Phoebe 2nd, Masked Royal 3rd. Alternatively you could try using Morty + Aaron + SS Elesa

eager kiln
#

Ty habibi imma try rn

eager kiln
#

Rip

#

Who should I focus first

#

Metagross?

mellow linden
#

Focus the center 1st

void wyvern
#

Switch Phoebe out for SS blue maybe.

#

Provides defences

mellow linden
#

Aaron does that as well

void wyvern
#

Oh yes defend order

mellow linden
#

And since he’s only 1/5 he’ll start doing that sooner

#

Should be more than sufficient for Hard Mode

void wyvern
#

I need to look at Aaron’s kit more.

#

He has way more than I remember

mellow linden
#

He’s a pretty loaded Support

void wyvern
#

Why must game deny me such useful supports

mellow linden
#

RNG is just like that sometimes

eager kiln
#

I tried like 7 times

#

Didn't rlly work

#

I got close once

#

But eh

eager kiln
void wyvern
#

Is masked royal gridded?

eager kiln
#

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

eager kiln
#

I'm thinking

#

SS blue

#

And mewtwo

#

Idk a third doe

Thank you for the direction!

I'ma be honest a 5/5 Hilda should be able to clap him pretty easily

#

But yeah use her on Aaron instead

zealous karma
#

That’s not even honesty that’s just fact

Hilda can easily kill Aaron at 1/5 and especially on only hard mode

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

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

keen silo

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

I have Grimsley but he's just a one-off metal burster

I wonder what's the next CS

mellow linden
#

My money is on Hoenn

keen jasper
#

Great, back-to-back challenging CS

mellow linden
#

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

And Alola VA is the next big thing

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

hot shadow
#

Are you using Heat Wave or what? Note: don't.
Try using someone not as squishy as Lyra, I guess

hot shadow
#

Cool, what goes wrong?

wide silo
#

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

hot shadow
#

Do you know what Triple queue is?

wide silo
#

No, I dont

hot shadow
#

Go to the settings and turn Action Order display on then

wide silo
#

Its turned on

hot shadow
#

Read this wall of text next

#

+battlebasics

wide silo
#

e

hot shadow
#

Hm, lemme just...

#

Go to #poma-questions and read it there

wide silo
#

The same you send screenshot with Hop?

hot shadow
#

Depends on your Steel coverage

#

Once again, that wasn't me, just another question-asking-guy

wide silo
#

Fr

wide silo
#

Since hes steel

hot shadow
#

You can turn off pings when you reply btw.

Hop is a good pick, he can both tank, buff and deal damage

hot shadow
#

You can add another physical dps + speed buffer to sustain gauge

wide silo
#

Does Deoxys speed buffs?

#

No, right?

#

His speed form is good for sync move

void wyvern
#

Deoxys might be better to save as it’s an excellent off type dps

mellow linden
#

Deoxys Speed is more support-oriented, iirc

wide silo
#

Oh

hot shadow
#

Use Skyla if you haven't yet

wide silo
#

I have her

#

Which other character should I use?

mellow linden
#

Attack Forme is the Sync nuker. But better to save it for Flint if you haven't beaten him yet

wide silo
hot shadow
#

You know we can't just guess what characters you have, right?
Screenshot your Steel-types or something

wide silo
#

Sure

wide silo
void wyvern
#

Filter for steel

hot shadow
#

Just because a pair is 3-4 star doesn't mean it is bad

wide silo
#

Ik

#

I only have 3 Steel pokémons

void wyvern
#

Hop, Skyla Solgaleo

hot shadow
#

Why is Solgaleo 1/5?

wide silo
#

Wasnt using him

void wyvern
#

He’s free.

hot shadow
#

Just... updrage it anyway. It's free.

mellow linden
#

There is literally zero reason to not 5/5 20/20 Solgaleo

wide silo
#

Most legendary adventures characters I have isn't 5/5 20/20

hot shadow
#

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

void wyvern
#

There is absolutely no reason to not

mellow linden
#

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

void wyvern
#

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.

zealous karma

wide silo
#

I cant get solgaleo to max level

hot shadow
#

"Max level"?

wide silo
#

Im out of energy for skip tickets

#

For level up area

hot shadow
#

What level is it?

wide silo
#

112

hot shadow
#

It should be fine if you got it 5/5 20/20

wide silo
#

Good

#

What's the tactic?

hot shadow
#

Gang up and hit it 'till it dies

wide silo
#

What about targets tho?

void wyvern
#

Mid.

wide silo
#

Not talking about that

hot shadow
#

Hop can be targeted first for Freevenge, don't forget to heal him with Skyla

mellow linden
#

Hop -> Skyla -> Solgaleo

wide silo
#

Okay

mellow linden
#

Rule of thumb is that if your team has a Support, the Support should be targeted 1st by the opponent

wide silo
#

How should I use trainer move?

mellow linden
#

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

wide silo
#

Ok

wide silo
#

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?

void wyvern
#

Show us your supports

#

Just need to see who to pair with Deoxys

zealous karma
#

Deoxsys doesn’t really want anything but a psychic terrain bot

mellow linden
#

A tank would also be helpful to at least provide a Fire Blast buffer

void wyvern
#

Misty starmie / Deoxys / Bianca would work

wide silo
#

Ok

#

I have all

#

Misty Starmie

#

Steven Deoxys

#

Bianca and Musharna

wide silo
#

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

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 LucianScheme

dark osprey
#

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.

teal siren
#

Look for help with a grid build for a 2/5 ash 2k cs solo against flint?

dark osprey
#

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

marsh vault
#

Uhhh

#

Is Cynthia glitched?

#

I used defog and sand didn't go away

zealous karma
#

Defog doesn’t make weather go away I believe except for dog

marsh vault
#

I thought it made rain and sun go away

#

Swear i remember it did

zealous karma
marsh vault
#

Terrain would be weather wouldn't it

steel kelp
#

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.

Hi guys
Csmm round 1
Tried to beat Flint with my psychic team but kills Bianca too quick
Using Bianca, Sabrina and Giotwo

old orchid
#

what parameters are you using?

keen silo
#

Also isnt round 1 not recommended to do flint on?

#

Because flint uses a lot of special moves that hit very hard

manic mica
old orchid
#

oh yeah dont fight Flint on round 1

manic mica
keen silo
#

Do someone else for round 1

manic mica
keen silo
#

Most likely aaron since you won't be using Sp attacks for bertha and lucian either

manic mica
#

Is there an order I should fight the stadium?

keen silo
#

Pins give you a guide and idea of how the opponents are like for this week

#

You can decide from there

manic mica
#

Like
1st Aaron
2nd Flint
So on

#

Gotcha

just look at the pins and decide your order

because everyone has different roster

Thanks for the advice

sand karma
#

Who's a good teammate for Hop and Solgaleo 2k?

old orchid
#

A speed support, or a defense debuffer

#

Do you have Pal Marnie?

#

The other steels i have are Jasmine 1, Aegislash 5, dugtrio1 and Throton

sand karma
#

Hilbert 3 with Defense crush?

Hilbert overlaps with Hop tho

#

Either replace Hop or fine someone else

#

Marley would be a good choice

Hop is the one tanking

#

And being gridless is fine

#

Are you doing MM?

sand karma
#

Oh okay

old orchid
#

Or just hard?

sand karma
#

I'm trying for 2k or 1.9k

old orchid
#

Marley is ground weak, so you should use post sync params (pinned in this channel)

sand karma
#

Offtyped R1 Aaron with Ash, Sonia, Volkner

sand karma
toxic cobalt
#

Skyla is standard

old orchid
#

I wanted to suggest her, but her defense buff kinda overlap with Hop

sand karma
#

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 smhArgentaL

old orchid
#

Use Skyla then

#

Double potion will keep Solgaleo healthy

trail smelt
#

What fight is this?

#

Oh steel weak Bertha

old orchid
#

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"

sand karma
old orchid
#

Forgot that Solgaleo is also ground weak lol

sand karma
#

I even removed the atk spatk and strength 1 parameters

You could try wikstrom or moylane

Gotta hope for very good Skyla MPr

Yeah 1/5 no grid

old orchid
#

Maybe May can offtype her with Muddy Water spam and nuke

#

Dont ever click on Earth Power

So Masked Royal will definitely be perfect against her

what characters is good against Flint? Saw pins and Flint is hitting way harder then expected

toxic cobalt

Basic psychic strikers are fine

#

Just a question of survival

solemn pine
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

Restart if he fire blasts basically

#

Who have you got?

solemn pine
#

With SS Hilda victini used

toxic cobalt
#

Looks like Giovanni is the best striker available

#

Unless you want to pikachu it

solemn pine
#

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

mellow linden

They mean regular Giovanni, the one with Mewtwo

solemn pine

ah right

i tried using giovanni's main team, but my bianca is getting killed by 2nd move

Does this mean I'm obligated to use girafarig

Oh crud

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

mellow linden
#

Good gosh, Grass weak Bertha is designed for Mallow

old orchid
#

Which Water type cab debuff atk/spatk?

dark osprey
#

Don't think there's any. probably referring to SS Misty

toxic cobalt
#

iirc you can flinch heal order.

dark osprey
#

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

swift swan
#

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

swift swan
trail smelt
#

Just gonna have DGloria kick the crap out of Flint

sleep works too right

#

for heal order, I mean

toxic cobalt

Flint is probably easy right? only attack is buffed not health

swift swan
#

since it's a pokemon move

Sleep should work LanceShrug

Only one I ever had trouble with next week is Electric Weak Aaron

#

I forgor mist exists

dark osprey
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

Are good form and rising tide the ones that also provide negatives when debuffed?

mellow linden
#

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

keen jasper
swift swan

Who’s ready for all the “why does my [insert wrong category damage-dealer here] do no damage against Lucian/Aaron?” questions tomorrow

the ss hilbert pullers be winning

and of course there's the ash owners

now I'm just waiting for wise entry x2 electric-weak

but even then Ash can rip through it anyway

and as for dark, I'm not too worried. I think we have more physical dark strikers than special

swift swan

Yeah, gonna be seeing if BP Karen + Masked Royal + Hop works against Lucian tomorrow with Nessa as a backup plan to replace BP Karen

swift swan
#

BP karen BarryPogChamp

#

just use Nessa at that point lmao

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

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
