Champion Stadium

[zealous karma]

How about I just record you some F2P clears this has been a lot of hassle

Also true

[hot shadow]

The point is seeing what they do, your clears won't solve it, just delay it.

[mellow linden]

Could just screenshot

Better than nothing

[hot shadow]

We've come this far, might as well finish it.
Creating/logging into the account shouldn't be that hard.

[still bone]

Do you know why in the Wi-Fi menu within the Settings screen is showing Wi-Fi as green enabled but in the general Settings screen it says it's Not Connected?

Even though I am using online functions on my iPhone

[zealous karma]

You’re likely using the data from your phones servive provider instead of using your “home wifi”

https://streamable.com/fmwjxq @still bone

Whenever I synced with someone that wasn’t Raichu sync with Raichu

[zealous karma]

I am far to inpatient for this jd much rather just record a video for some one and get it over with

[hot shadow]

Will you record a video each time they will need to clear a stage?

[still bone]

lol sorry guys... I'll keep trying for now

[zealous karma]

Yes

Un-ironically yes

I have to much free time

[still bone]

But, with just a couple of hours remaining, I might have to just wing it and see

Just for this time

[late halo]

You have enough time, you just need the right teams and the right inputs

[still bone]

The main thing is I don't want them to one-kill me that often

[zealous karma]

Just follow whay in doing in the videos and they’ll work

[mellow linden]

Should be easily doable with a proper team comp. Since I’m a bit late to the party, is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[still bone]

I'm planning to go in there with SS Elisa, regular N and a third member

Not sure who can tank well and still do a few decent things

Against Aaron

[zealous karma]

https://streamable.com/xp4gld (round 3)

[mellow linden]

SS Elesa should be able to tank via evasion shenanigans to an extent. Can’t say I recommend N due to Sentry Entry though

[hot shadow]

SSHilbert is a better choice

[mellow linden]

Oh, they have SS Hilbert

Yeah, he’d obliterate Aaron

[still bone]

SS Elisa, regular N and SS Hilbert then, although from experience SS Hilbert has somewhat trouble sustaining hits though

[mellow linden]

If you have Volkner then him + SS Hilbert + SS Elesa should be able to destroy Aaron

[still bone]

from other battles

No Volkner yet

[mellow linden]

No N, too much gauge and won’t do all that much damage

SS Hilbert shouldn’t be getting hit outside of AoE moves, bring someone to buff defenses if you need more survivability

[still bone]

Oh I see what you mean about SS Hilbert lol

Should I buff with Dir Hit+ or Perfect Aim! ?

[zealous karma]

I working run sselesa as she and n have overlapping typing

That team is very gauge heavy regardless you might want Spd buffs

[mellow linden]

Could Dire Hit+ once, Metal Sound twice, Sync (if you have an EX Support then Sync with them 1st), then use SS Elesa’s Trainer Move to finish SS Hilbert’s crit and start using Techno Blast. SS Elesa can handle Sp. Atk. buffs

[still bone]

The third member is still unsure

You're right regular N can't do enough

[mellow linden]

Could just run someone to buff defenses

[still bone]

Still not enough lol

[still bone]

Thank you guys for all the help!
I'll keep learning and trying to improve on all these mechanics
But right now my body is really telling me I need rest from managing multiple F2P games... (3 of which are Pokemon)

[eternal lodge]

almost forgot to do this week's csmm

[trail smelt]

Less than an hour left get your stuff done

[spring fable]

oh no i forgot i still have to do hard mode

looks like this 2 weeks will be a sad week

[spring fable]

oh no im gonna suffer

sentry entry steel and wise entry ice

solgaleo and kyurem

[old orchid]

just offtype steel, and use Candice

[spring fable]

she's only 3*

i'll try with hala

[old orchid]

sure Hala is the better choice

is he at least 2/5?

[spring fable]

just nice 2/5

hard mode

[old orchid]

you should be ok

since Hala only needs 2/5 to be good

[keen jasper]

Goodbye for now Sinnoh CS

[dull yarrow]

Good luck everyone~

[swift swan]

R1: Physical damage reduction at start
R2: Permanent field effects
R3: Half sync move countdown (be careful who you fight here)
R4: Special attack moves are powered up (be careful with Glacia in this round)
R5: Stat-lowering effects are more effective

the best and the worst parameter, together on the same week

[old orchid]

half sync countdown

[swift swan]

good luck everyone

hmmmmm half sync

who the hell should I fight half sync

[dull yarrow]

Drake

[devout sluice]

Easy as alway, Anni N came to the rescue on off type steel

[swift swan]

damn drake really made it hard to quadqueue huh

[toxic cobalt]

I’m glitched, game won’t remove this overlay even as it lets me click buttons beneath

[swift swan]

I'm over here fishing for ss erika propulsions

hey drake can you stop spamming AOEs please and thank you

I've been trying to fish for RNG for the past half hour here

[spring fable]

boiii do they hurt

and this is hard mode

[swift swan]

HALA CAN YOU PLS CRIT ON YOUR SYNC?

[dull yarrow]

Do you not have SS N?

[spring fable]

WAIT

THE TYPINGS ONLY COUNT IF I BEAT STEVEN?

[devout sluice]

SS N really helps on drake. I tested it out.

[dull yarrow]

SS N did so much damage on Drake

[devout sluice]

Agreed.

Even without paralysis, hits somewhere like… 12k

[swift swan]

collapses on the floor Hala finally crit on sync

Thank you Hala

[swift swan]

nope, had to skip unfortunately

[swift swan]

yes, like always

the types only count once you enter the hall of fame

[devout sluice]

Hopefully an ice zone comes someday.

Make ice weak more easier people without SS N or Holiday Leon.

[spring fable]

wew phoebe was hard

[dull yarrow]

I hate Half sync move so much 😡😡😡😡

Time to toxic stall Glacia

[spring fable]

Leggo

fighting poison and ground next week

[main crow]

WHY HALF SYNC AGAIN

[dull yarrow]

Can't even fucking Toxic Stall smfh

-6 still OHKO

Glacia can go die in a hole

[swift swan]

yea honestly. screw glacia.

hits so hard and for what

[verbal karma]

is Marley good enough as a support for R1 Drake or are there better options? Or should those better options be saved for later rounds?

Here are all of my 5* Support options

[spring fable]

wait froslass is in the game?

[verbal karma]

Yup

Battle Points reward

[spring fable]

ah

[verbal karma]

I honestly prefer the Froslass version of Candice over her regular one

[frosty axle]

forgot how annoying Hoenn is

[verbal karma]

Candice' Froslass actually knows Hail, so she can counter the sandstorm

[swift swan]

in hard mode, she should be able to tank quite a few hits. especially since you have Mina lowering attack

phew, finished this week's MM. I forgot just how much Hoenn got hands

[spring fable]

sounds tough

[dull yarrow]

Seriously she's at fucking -6

[spring fable]

and im at the tip of the iceberg

[verbal karma]

Alright, guess other off-type Support sync pairs should be saved for later rounds, huh?

[swift swan]

that's what 1.2k attack and special attack at base does to a MF

oops sorry for the ping

[dull yarrow]

MINUS FUCKING 6 AND SHE STILL OHKO

[dull yarrow]

How did you beat her

[verbal karma]

Can her explosion at the end make you lose as well?

[swift swan]

if you're very worried, you can switch Marley to Dawn so she can buff team defense too

[swift swan]

this glacia doesn't have last word

thankfully

[verbal karma]

Oh, pfew

Oh, whoops

[dull yarrow]

How the fuck do I beat this b***

[verbal karma]

Accidently replied to the wrong post

[verbal karma]

Oh, pfew

[dull yarrow]

I'm on half sync for her

[verbal karma]

There, better

[spring fable]

This was what I used this week!

[verbal karma]

Oh, I am moreso worried about type coverage

Ya know, to fill out the medals

[spring fable]

phoebe was the hardest for me

[main crow]

Ghost/psychic types E4 are always annoying to deal with

[swift swan]

#1011173305702690876 message here's my 10k. didn't wanna deal with Glacia's bullshit

[spring fable]

stacced

[main crow]

Lugia on Glacia

So true!

[swift swan]

I actually enjoyed Lugia's sync accel shenanigans on half sync countdown lol

[dull yarrow]

HOLY SHIT BEAT HER

Leaf MVP tanked till the end

[keen jasper]

Lol Serena damage capped Steven without grid

[spring fable]

time to build next week's team

[dull yarrow]

.... why are you planning teams for non 2k

Non 2k is easy

[spring fable]

for you

[trail smelt]

Phew

As expected

[spring fable]

i didnt manage to clear 850 sinnoh

[keen jasper]

Serena is too stronk even without grid

[undone ether]

Think this should do for this week's CS?

[trail smelt]

Bug and Steel was awful lol

[dull yarrow]

Who should I use for Bug?

[trail smelt]

Though Bug was mostly because I was dumb haha

[dull yarrow]

Hilbert or Emmet

[undone ether]

Yeah bug steel are itchy

[devout sluice]

Steel for me because Gio couldn’t handle the sides.

[trail smelt]

I used BEEDRIL Bugsy not SCYTHER Bugsy for my tank

[keen jasper]

I almost managed to FTKO Sidney at round 3, but he was literally left with the smallest amount of HP possible

[trail smelt]

[keen jasper]

Sonia finished him off

[dull yarrow]

I'm so confused, cause I used SS HILBERT during Sidney stage, but he did like no damage

[trail smelt]

I don’t recall if Sydney had a gimmick other than Zone

[spring fable]

can sycamore be used as damage dealer? for moonblast

[trail smelt]

You just wanna get rid of Zone if it’s up

[undone ether]

Anyone? O.o

[dull yarrow]

Sidney's zone can piss off

[devout sluice]

Parameters max defense?

[trail smelt]

Anyway

Ready for next week

[undone ether]

;-;

[trail smelt]

What’s that? Wrong pink team? SCREW OUR FAIRIES

[undone ether]

Guess im back to 500 clears...

2k too hard

[trail smelt]

Did you try your teams yet?

[swift swan]

why not both

[main crow]

Oh electric weak Phoebe! Time for the fine china!

[summer flare]

Is Hoenn just harder than Sinnoh or what?

[undone ether]

Iunno

[trail smelt]

Depends entirely on your roster

[rigid flint]

damn sydney city

[keen jasper]

That's what you get for not pulling SS Wally

[undone ether]

As hard or harder

[spring fable]

any idea if drake next week sands?

[keen jasper]

JK

[summer flare]

I had big issues clearing Drake

[swift swan]

sure. I usually pair him with Lisia and a crit buffer. moonblast grid on Lisia too

[undone ether]

I feel like i can offtype this

[trail smelt]

Oh btw

[summer flare]

Had to resort to SS Kris despite needing her for rain later on

[trail smelt]

I did something stupid for Steven LMAO

[swift swan]

they're definitely the two hardest CS regions. which one is harder depends on your roster I feel

[trail smelt]

Instead of permanent field effect

I chose HALF SYNC NUKE

[undone ether]

For me its glaciate boy + ss kris o.o

[trail smelt]

Whoops

[devout sluice]

If I didn’t have anything to off type glacia, ya I would’ve been in trouble

[trail smelt]

My water team beat Steven anyway haha

[swift swan]

he doesn't set sandstorm next week, but he does debuff your speed to oblivion

oh and he has lower-than-normal offenses next week

[trail smelt]

Yeah the speed thing about Drake is weird

Behold my bug and steel team of PAIN

So much resetting

[spring fable]

physical or special?

[trail smelt]

I had to flinch

[spring fable]

oops pinged

[swift swan]

mid and right are fully physical, left is mixed

[trail smelt]

Fully physical Drake and right yeah

[swift swan]

you can check in pomatools, all the stats and passives are there

[trail smelt]

His gimmick is other than slowing you down, his moves hit harder the higher his defense is

[dull yarrow]

Okay beat Sidney lmao

[lost gulch]

dang

[swift swan]

oh yeah, like Steven this week. towering force and tough cookie

I just.. didn't have time to see it

[lost gulch]

r3 glacia is fun and challenging

[keen panther]

Damn, I didn't think I'd be fighting literal tanks this time around.

[swift swan]

Kris did 13k per mega kick 💀

[dull yarrow]

So uhm

[trail smelt]

Honestly I’m only afraid of Sydney next week but only if I was gonna use Fairy monoteam haha

[dull yarrow]

How's Dojo Gloria against Steven this week

[trail smelt]

Thankfully I’m off typing

She shuts down Steven’s gimmick

[lost gulch]

glacia is very hard to ontype unless u have raihan

[trail smelt]

Or rely on flinch hax haha

[dull yarrow]

I had to toxic stall her

[trail smelt]

Wikstrom, Steven, Hop

So many RNG had to go right

[spring fable]

lisia usable at 1/5?

[rigid flint]

Has anyone tried mirror shot ss lusamine lul

[keen jasper]

I did Glacia with Jasmine, SS Gio and OG Misty

Half HP and sync params

[trail smelt]

Half sync I went Sydney

[keen jasper]

My R3 was also Sidney

[trail smelt]

Which is probably dumb given my defenseless and nukeless team lol

NY Lillie, Guzma, Bugsy

Had to reset a lot there too

[primal field]

Sync move ignores endurance? lusamaine was out even tho endurance was active

Bug stage

[trail smelt]

YeH

Sync moves ignore Endurance

[undone ether]

Goddamnit

[dull yarrow]

Okay yeah, Dojo Gloria rekt Steven this week

[undone ether]

No idea what to use against glacia lmao

[dull yarrow]

I toxic stalled

[dark osprey]

Candice, Hala combo is nice

need some good gauge support though

[trail smelt]

Btw

Round 4 Glacia was pain

Blizzard keeps kicking my ass haha

[dull yarrow]

I did Sidney round 4

He wasn't too bad

[spring fable]

offtyping is 5/5 cyrus ex better or 1/5 cerena?

[dull yarrow]

Once I changed tanks

[swift swan]

wasn't she the recommended pair or something?

[dull yarrow]

Idk was she? Lol

[swift swan]

hmm, you can give it a try. if not, probably just resort to sycamore DPS then Mina nuke

[trail smelt]

Could use both

Since Cerena rebuffs water

Or are you splitting them up?

[dull yarrow]

Imagine a support sync pair doing 2.5k damage

[spring fable]

i wanna remove one of them and put a poison type in, for the medal

[swift swan]

steven's weak to defense and speed debuffs, two stats that dojo gloria debuffs

[spring fable]

which one can carry more basically

[formal vigil]

Nessa too

[swift swan]

awww, I need to reset my CS so I can read tips directly

[dull yarrow]

Not even her full power

[lost gulch]

yea

i used with melony

pretty clutch tho

[dull yarrow]

This week for Ice, I used Holiday Bea, SS N and Melony

[swift swan]

DeNA: both. Both is good.

[formal vigil]

[dull yarrow]

I feel like Dojo Gloria probably clears faster

Cause she debuffs quicker

[spring fable]

How’s this for next week?

[prime warren]

Am I doing smth wrong or is MR too weak to one shot mid vs Phoebe?

[dull yarrow]

MR?

[prime warren]

Masked royal

[formal vigil]

Phoebe does has sentry entryx2

[dull yarrow]

He's weak to Special attcks

[prime warren]

Ah
Nowonder

[dull yarrow]

She*

[prime warren]

Guess offtype it is for me

[dull yarrow]

Try using N & Zoroark if you have

[swift swan]

Actually, let's all have a good laugh during this stressful time:
Recommended pairs for each stage!
Bug-weak Sidney: Aaron, SC Ingo, SC Emmet
Dark-weak Phoebe: Sawyer, SS Cyrus, Summer N
Steel-weak Glacia: SC Jasmine, Hop, Raihan
Ice-weak Drake: Pal Bea, Holiday Nessa, Holiday Leon
Water-weak Steven: Hilbert, Nessa, Dojo Gloria

[dull yarrow]

Otherwise SS Cyrus

[formal vigil]

Or karen

[dull yarrow]

Yeah Karen works too

[swift swan]

Sidney can still nuke mid I think

probably needs zone though

[prime warren]

I refuse to use Karen unless she gets another expansion in grid

Imma bruteforce with Lear or zygarde

Water weak has wise entry?
Wtf

[dull yarrow]

I used 2 N's this week 🤔

[trail smelt]

Why another expansion?

[keen panther]

Dude, what do I do with Glacia? She hits too hard and is too tanky.

[trail smelt]

Karen already nukes hard

[keen panther]

[prime warren]

Her dps is shit

[trail smelt]

Offtype most likely

[dull yarrow]

Off type or Toxic Stall

[trail smelt]

Oh yeah toxic stall is your best friend haha

[dull yarrow]

Question is, which N do I want to EX first

[prime warren]

No reason to struggle with 100 BP unit

[dull yarrow]

SS or Summer N

[trail smelt]

What BPunit?

[undone ether]

Why is glacia this bulky.... Orz

[trail smelt]

I forget what SN does

[prime warren]

Dark pulse is 100ish BP

[trail smelt]

Sentry Entry x2

Dunno what to tell you man haha

[dull yarrow]

Summer N is Zoroark with Night Daze

[trail smelt]

My Karen kills Phoebe easily

[prime warren]

All des sentry entry stages
Nice to offtype everything

[formal vigil]

Ssn for the theme

[trail smelt]

Mind you zone was there LMAO

[undone ether]

I had c serena debuffimg

[trail smelt]

Well even if debuffed

You’re still up against double base defense

[prime warren]

Except bug weak I have to offtype everything

[trail smelt]

Oof

[prime warren]

Maybe I can do water weak coz Archie+may is still hitting ontype

[main trellis]

glacia was easy lol

idk what yall sayin

[trail smelt]

Yeah just do Archie + May for water weak

[main trellis]

i clapped her cheeks

[main crow]

Who do you use then?

[trail smelt]

Drown Steven’s ass

[main trellis]

Raihan + Palentines Marnie + SS Blue

[dull yarrow]

Melony is so good

[main crow]

Yeah nah you literally have the recommend units 💀

[trail smelt]

Of course it’s easy you got the ONLY and limited special Steel type LMAO

[main trellis]

kek

[prime warren]

Special steel type

[main trellis]

all EXed as well

[summer flare]

I once again have a feeling that alder won't pull this off

[prime warren]

There's another one exist

It's called SSlusa

[trail smelt]

Well egg magneton and LuSSamine too haha

[main trellis]

ok im offtyping sidney

no fucking way alder beats this without bug wish to counter sidney dark wish

[old orchid]

SCJasmine as the special steel striker

[frosty axle]

not sure whose the best to use sync cd on, hate the parameter

[prime warren]

Wouldn't bugwish alder be better than offtype physical unit anyways

Well I don't have access to bugwish but that's what Id expect performance wise

[keen jasper]

Not Drake and Sidney, that's for sure

[main trellis]

yes ofc it would be better

i dont have bug wish tho

[keen jasper]

And definitely not Phoebe

[main trellis]

so itll be impossible to live the sidney sync

[undone ether]

Screw drake ;-;

[prime warren]

Ah right

[main trellis]

i offtyped drake lol

2 offtypes already

[prime warren]

I just realised
Even genesect is special

[keen jasper]

My Sonia somehow survived Sidney's sync at R3

[prime warren]

What's with dena's obsession releasing special units and then throwing wise entry in MM

[trail smelt]

Used it on Sydney which uh

Not a good idea for my team

Who was wise entry this week?

[keen jasper]

Drake

[trail smelt]

Ohh right

The most recent ice unit is physical tho

[prime warren]

Wdym genesect is totally ice type

[keen jasper]

[main crow]

Sydney R3 sure was fun, forgot he sets zone before sync and it ended up overlapping mine before my sync

[spring fable]

can these clear 850 next week?
will swap bea with maybe ss red, looker with cerena

lisia too when i find out smth to replace her with

[keen jasper]

You can probably do 2k on all of them honestly

[prime warren]

You show ash and Hilda

And ask 5kish points in total

When those two alone can bypass that threshold

[spring fable]

they're only 1/5 and im on hard

[prime warren]

I am talking abt 1/5

Ash can shit that out alone at 3/5

[spring fable]

im only looking to do 850 though, until i get dupes on my supp i'll ex them

[keen jasper]

Oh man, I'm only 1 tech candy coin from 3/5 either my SST Red or Cerena

[undone ether]

Lmao this is impossible

Its glacia and drake.

[keen jasper]

What about them?

[undone ether]

Impossible haah

[keen jasper]

Use Candice for Drake

[summer flare]

I have no idea on how I'll make alder on type this week

[undone ether]

With what?

[summer flare]

He just takes an unbelievably high amount of damage

[keen jasper]

BP Morty and someone else

[summer flare]

While not dealing nearly the required amount of damage to beat the stage in time

[formal vigil]

Do you have hala?

[undone ether]

No hala

[prime warren]

Oh right
Hala exists

[undone ether]

I was trying this team

[keen jasper]

You don't even Hala with Candice

Just bring in a defense supporter and Potion unit and you're good to go

[undone ether]

Hum

[keen jasper]

I used EX Glacia, Candice and BP Morty

[prime warren]

Or just bring offtype physical dps

[undone ether]

Which candice? O.o

[spring fable]

read pins he has the spdef sentry

[undone ether]

Curses

[keen jasper]

BP one /s

[hidden ore]

Read the pin and do ya think Glacia on r1 is okay?

[keen jasper]

Glacia is all special

I'd do R1 with Drake

[hidden ore]

Hmm wanted to use ss N for Drake, does he work with Candice or other hail setter?

[undone ether]

Uhm for drake... Can just punch him with my sand team?

Offtype 5/5 cynthia? O.o

[keen jasper]

SS N doesn't have any multipliers for when under hail

But you'd really only bring Candice for the Hail anyways

Unless you want to deal damage with her too

[hidden ore]

Drake sets sandstorm so that’s why I wanted Candice

[formal vigil]

Ssn dps candice nuke

[keen jasper]

She can nuke while SS N DPS

[undone ether]

I am not confident with my sun team uwu

[keen jasper]

Jinx

[undone ether]

Err candice rather

[keen jasper]

[prime warren]

If only silver powerboost was available now
Would be ideal

[keen jasper]

It will be on Wednesday

[hidden ore]

Sooo r1 with Candice + ssN and idk what support

[keen jasper]

Defense buffer

[formal vigil]

Ss blue

[spring fable]

are you doing hard or mm?

[summer flare]

I pulled it off with a similar one

[primal field]

Steven weak to sp attk or phy?

[summer flare]

Try swapping Sonia for lucian

[formal vigil]

Steven has no entry

[keen jasper]

Either

[undone ether]

Hum

[old orchid]

he has no resistance to defense debuff, so physical moves are better

[prime warren]

Holy shit glacia was hell with Lear but finally pulled it off

[frail canyon]

Does champion stadium became more powerful?

[prime warren]

I didn't know she's gonna buff accuracy every turn

[undone ether]

Ill try. Did you round 1 him?

[main crow]

Hoeen CS simply hits hard

[frail canyon]

I cant beat Drake and glacia

Not even with shiny ho oh they hit too hard

1 hit 50%

Almost

Normal hit

[main crow]

Is you Hooh at drake?

[hidden ore]

Master Mode

[prime warren]

Boosted silver + SSmorty is ez win vs drake

[summer flare]

Yes

Does glacia have sentry entry?

-6 defense counter after taking 3k damage from a shadow ball not dealing even more damage than grismley took was a bit sus

[hidden ore]

Whats best to offtype Glacia?
Noticed my steels are only physicals 😦

[main crow]

Your hardest hitting special striker I guess

[prime warren]

I used Lear

But

She buffs accuracy every turn

[verbal karma]

Actually, would swapping Marley with Kiawe be a good or a bad idea? After all, he has higher defense and is a dual-type, giving me even MORE type coverage, but he has lower HP...hmm...

[prime warren]

Hey atleast it shows for spl units dps check is low

Considering Lear doing half the usual damage still one shot mid

[verbal karma]

...wait, would Kiawe's secondary ghost typing even count towards type medal progression?

[prime warren]

Only sync typing

[verbal karma]

Oh

Stick with Marley then, huh?

[prime warren]

Does 2/5 candice get her inertia in grid?

Marley is fine unless you are planning to use fire dps in another stage

[verbal karma]

Unless there is a better support to pick?

[prime warren]

Make 5 teams
Instead of focussing on 1 team

[undone ether]

@summer flare whats your debuffs?

[prime warren]

So you can see if you get all 15 medals

[verbal karma]

I mean, that's what I am kinda trying to do already

[prime warren]

Then where are teams for other stages?
Coz you need supports for those teams as well

[verbal karma]

Froslass Candice has no Inertia to begin with

[prime warren]

Wait

Thats froslass

Drake has resistance to special

[verbal karma]

Oof

[prime warren]

Bring physical dps

[undone ether]

I give up. 8k.cs.lets.go sigh

[summer flare]

Since it's round 3, I'm trying post sync

[prime warren]

I thought it was abamasnow coz of it

[undone ether]

Drake and glacia is too much

[prime warren]

Also you don't have to do 15 in one go
Coz it takes 2 weeks to unlock MM anyways

Do like around 10 or 11 for comfy run

[undone ether]

I would really want Hala now....... To the point id want to use paid JUST to get a hala......

[spring fable]

@verbal karma this was my 15 medals this week

[prime warren]

Kirby recommending Ash, cerena, SShilda , SShilbert to a random person that didn't share his roster

[swift swan]

at 1/5 you'll struggle to do DPS with him because he's fucking slow

his nuke is good but you need 3/5 anywaya

wait for aurochs or eevee's f2p clears I suppose

[spring fable]

tbf they're acc looks more veteran

[prime warren]

I played since day 1 and I only have ash out of that

Veteran =/= big limited pool

[spring fable]

oh

[prime warren]

Mans using 2/5 froslass

You don't expect him to have offtype god units

[spring fable]

it dont matter much i'll still struggle mm

[swift swan]

Hoenn isn't a new stadium. you can probably look for f2p comps from the last Hoenn CS if you dig deep enough I suppose

[spring fable]

f2p comps refer to 2k mms?

[swift swan]

both to clear hard mode and 2k, I'm sure

[prime warren]

There are F2P comps for those
Yes

[spring fable]

damn

i have one week to dig

[prime warren]

Atleast one of the stages is usually toxic stall

And you can shove in Cyrus, silver, hop and Giovanni

For each stage

It's just less unga bunga than conventional teams

[verbal karma]

@prime warren
For the other rounds, I decided to pick Guzma as the striker against R2 Glacia, but...I can't seem to find any sync pair that can decrease critical hit rate 😦

[prime warren]

Can you show your roster?

Preferably your strikers and tech 5*s

[keen jasper]

You mean increase critical rate?

[prime warren]

Coz you already shared support

I think he means accuracy

Coz glacia's gimmick is bumping accuracy every turn

[verbal karma]

No, decrease the opponent's critical hit rate

[prime warren]

Wait

Why?

[keen jasper]

No such thing

[formal vigil]

You can't

[verbal karma]

Because Glacia can increase hers

[prime warren]

Just run vigilance

On your tank

[keen panther]

I forced Steven to beat Glacia. I was damn pissed.

[keen jasper]

Unless you want to a critical protection field, only which OG Jasmine has

And also Faitlin

[verbal karma]

Damn, but OG Jasmine would already rep Steel...

Wait

Why did I say Guzma for Glacia?

[prime warren]

Why are you not considering offtype?

[verbal karma]

Guzma is for R3 Sidney!

I had a mix-up

[primal field]

If I unlock master mode do I have to do it again when the Cs event comes back?

[keen panther]

Because Steven.

[verbal karma]

@prime warren I am not

[prime warren]

I am quite certain even outrage zinnia is better than guzma vs sidney

[verbal karma]

I simply had a mix up

[verbal karma]

...oh...

[swift swan]

lowering crit rate is very rare. you're better off running vigilance on your tank. your damage dealer can get hit by random AOE crits but that's just the price to pay

[prime warren]

Not you

[swift swan]

i.e. SS Erika getting three-shotted by drake's earthquake

[primal field]

Lol I used her in that fight

[verbal karma]

You mean there is a better bug striker?

Physical Bug Striker, I mean

[swift swan]

you don't need physical

sidney has no entries

[keen jasper]

You can use Burgh and you're fine

[verbal karma]

But...Sidney has Spec Damage Protection

[keen jasper]

Crit can ignore that

[verbal karma]

Burgh can crit easily?

[prime warren]

Bring a crit buffer

[keen jasper]

Assuming you have a crit supporter for him

[verbal karma]

Fair

I know R3 support should NOT be a someone who can boost sync countdown

Because sync countdown is already boosted

Meaning I can save up SS Elesa for either Round 4 or Round 5

[prime warren]

Or

You can bring elesa

And sync quicker

To clean up the stage with no issues

[verbal karma]

But maybe I wanna sync quicker in R4 or R5 as well?

[prime warren]

Instead of fighting even game with an opponent who also has sync CD reduced

Sync CD is 3rd round....

[verbal karma]

Gotta think 2 steps ahead

[spring fable]

hmm you got supp ex?

[verbal karma]

So far, my order is: Drake -> Glacia -> Sidney -> Phoebe

[verbal karma]

I doubt that

[keen jasper]

What a coincidence, that's the same order I went

[undone ether]

Wew Sidney is also pretty bad

Haah

[spring fable]

could get free rosa ex!

[undone ether]

Hello darkness my friend... 5k cs...

[verbal karma]

The problem with Glacia is that my two best Steel strikers are very move gauge expensive

[keen jasper]

Which are?

[verbal karma]

Those being MC & Solgaleo and Gloria & Zacian

[keen jasper]

Don't you have any special damage dealers?

[spring fable]

yea glacia wants special dmg

because of sentry entry

[verbal karma]

Oh, I do, actually, but he is even MORE move gange expensive

Raihan & Duraludon

[prime warren]

Bruh

[keen jasper]

He's your best option

Literally

[prime warren]

He's the best option

[swift swan]

he's literally the recommended pair

[spring fable]

bring rosa for gauge maybe

[keen jasper]

He's literally the only special steel damage dealer unless we get Steel Shift Hyper Beam DD

[swift swan]

Thorton erasure

jkjk, no one uses Thorton

I know I don't

[prime warren]

I just went monke with ssred

Eventho I have raihan

[spring fable]

so excited for silver ex and powerboost

he's one of the better ones right

[prime warren]

Coz I used up my speed support already

[keen jasper]

Better what?

[spring fable]

upgraded Legendary pairs

[keen jasper]

Yeah he is, his expanded grid is absolutely ludicrous

[spring fable]

awesome, looking forward to it

[keen jasper]

Solar Flare 14, Inertia, SEUN

[verbal karma]

Man, I wish I could filter for vigilance

[prime warren]

What filter

Use lucky skill

[keen jasper]

You mean filter by lucky skills?

[verbal karma]

Filter by both lucky skill and sync grid skill

[formal vigil]

Dawn and phoebe have it at base passives also BP clemont

[swift swan]

I went monke with ss ethan and ss lyra

[cinder summit]

Vigilance

Protects the user against critical hits.

[verbal karma]

Also, I just came to a horrible realization: I have no good physical ice striker

[swift swan]

there

[spring fable]

candice

[prime warren]

Hala

[formal vigil]

Just use Candice

[verbal karma]

My two best ice strikers are both Spec. Damage

[prime warren]

Or literally any offtype physical unit

[spring fable]

abom canidce

[verbal karma]

Isn't that Tech, though?

[spring fable]

still does good dmg

[prime warren]

She can kill mid easily

[swift swan]

as long as it deals damage, it works

candice has a nice nuke

[prime warren]

Provided you have gridded her

[spring fable]

^^

[verbal karma]

Shoot, I only have Abom Candice at 4*

[main crow]

She got big numbers nuke

And easy to reach

[prime warren]

4* is good enuff

[verbal karma]

Like this?

[keen jasper]

That's kinda wrong

[verbal karma]

Oof

[prime warren]

Check pins in #1009587872342478908 for the grid sheet

[undone ether]

Haah

For glacia.... Im crying...

[verbal karma]

I...assume none of Drake's ads have any AoE?

[swift swan]

SC Jasmine and Raihan are literally the two recommended units for Glacia

[swift swan]

sides generally have AOE

[keen jasper]

I think all of them have earthquake

[undone ether]

Pain

[verbal karma]

Oh, I am keeping Healing Hail then

[prime warren]

The assumption usually is

Sides always have aoe

[undone ether]

Wait

[swift swan]

sides always have AOE unless stated otherwise

especially after mid dies

[keen jasper]

Who will be your crit buffer?

[verbal karma]

Oh yeah, forgot about Ramming Speed

[spring fable]

hmm hilbert looks tempting

[undone ether]

Would disndonit? Just to -acc uwu

[prime warren]

Accuracy doesn't matter when it's on opponent side

The 50% always hits

Meanwhile -1 on your side is where fun at

[undone ether]

Then this for speed i guess? ;-!

[swift swan]

Raihan will obliterate that stage. trust.

it's literally meant for him

[prime warren]

Why are you using cerena in a non water stage

Not that it's not viable

[swift swan]

it's okay, water is bloated anyway

[undone ether]

Ugh

[prime warren]

But seems like waste of a chance to finally see a big number meme

[undone ether]

Its gauge issue.with him though

[prime warren]

You just bring spd support

Just slap in Marley or smth

[undone ether]

Pain

[spring fable]

grats

[undone ether]

Fiel effects ;-;

Haah imma take a break

[summer flare]

I fear I'll have to offtype really hard to pull this week off

[undone ether]

Them im using 3rd anni units for sodney

[main crow]

Why Ramming speed when you can grab super preparation

[prime warren]

Just have 5 good offtype teams so CS becomes breeze

[swift swan]

a lot of my good offtype teams are special-based

so yeah that's kinda of an issue

I did offtype 2 stages this week though

[vital gazelle]

does anyone have a reasonable estimate as to whether or not dps sc jas would work for steel weak glacia

[swift swan]

didn't wanna deal with phoebe and glacia's bullshit

[swift swan]

why don't you screw around and find out

[vital gazelle]

i’m brainstorming a team

perhaps bede and potion spam

[swift swan]

oh yeah you most likely will want potion spam

glacia hits so hard and for what

[prime warren]

It's fine some of em are good even vs wise entry stuff
Like the T0 units

Honestly glacia felt hard for me not coz of the damage taken but coz lear can't time snatch correctly

[vital gazelle]

i could just off type glacia but i really want to try this

[prime warren]

Wdym
5/5 ex glacia based

Best Wally support

[swift swan]

drake felt hard for me because the sandstorm on entry prevented me from quadqueueing

[swift swan]

oh come on, she's... better now

[vital gazelle]

i have hnessa for drake, feels like she was made for that fight lmao

[prime warren]

Ah

[swift swan]

she sure was

[prime warren]

The whale candice

[swift swan]

Pal Bea, HoliNessa, HoliLeon are the recommended pairs

that's why drake has such low resistance to freeze

[prime warren]

Psure Holi Leon can one shot stage after his meme 6 TM setup after support ex sync

[keen jasper]

I wanna try Ghetsis against Drake

[vital gazelle]

which round param is the best for this team vs glacia hmm

can anyone help me out

[swift swan]

I used Ghetsis vs Drake last time we had Hoenn CS. Had to postsync though

[prime warren]

I wanna try ghetsis, darach, Rachel but I feel like it would be scuffed

[swift swan]

if you want to amplify sc jasmine's damage, then R4. This does mean Glacia hits much harder but I think SC Jasmine can handle it

[prime warren]

SC Jasmine does damage?

[vital gazelle]

not really but sc jas is my only special steel type so i want to try it lmao

[vital gazelle]

hmm, maybe

[dark osprey]

go striker magneton ftw

[dark osprey]

why rachel though?

[prime warren]

Spl drop from snarl

And tank

With heal

also I want a reason to use her

[dark osprey]

ah. personally feel like overpower is weird. just happy with the normal dps.

[prime warren]

Well it's a tile that's "on the way"

Coz ghetsis can't rly build anything as much

[swift swan]

thorton

[dark osprey]

yeah. i guess

[prime warren]

I Defo don't want to fish for dragon breath paralysis

On 3 sides

[dark osprey]

for post sync i guess its fine since we can slowly debuff sp atk and take turns buffing ghetsis by himself

its just that his innate nuke & dps multiplier is kekwalky

also lucian is a great alternative to darach

weirdly though darach does some damage as well

[keen jasper]

Pretty good considering Drake has WE x2

[vital gazelle]

had no idea his sync was special lmao

still no dps from him tho

[verbal karma]

Clearly, this team for R1 Drake was a bad idea 😦

[undone ether]

Lol pryce

[dark osprey]

his sync is hopelessly bad.

too

[keen jasper]

He's probably the only one who can fully set up Ghetsis's sync

[verbal karma]

Even when I did upgrade OG Candice to 5⭐, she still can neither deal big damage fast enough nor survive Drake's attacks long enough

[keen jasper]

Replace Marley for a defense buffer

[verbal karma]

Ah, so replace her after all

[vital gazelle]

candice is purely a nuker

her dps is abysmal

[prime warren]

Oh god 999 stamina

Do event first

I just noticed it

[vital gazelle]

this was from months back, but it was a tough clear from memory. i have hnessa now tho

[swift swan]

ah, the 9s

[dark osprey]

even with the move level 9, it was difficult i guess

if Ciris was 3/5 it would have been nice

[vital gazelle]

she was, but i remember her nuke doing less than candice’s for some reason, so she was demoted to def crush 2 debuff bot

[dark osprey]

she's literally one of the top nukers in the game

[vital gazelle]

yeah, hence why i tried nuking with her first

quickly realised it wasn’t really working, idk why

[dark osprey]

maybe wasn't at 3/5 at that time?

[vital gazelle]

candice’s nuke isn’t bad at all and she was on type, so it wasn’t completely unreasonable

[dark osprey]

yeah. candice's nuke is really good

[full mesa]

-2 dark rebuff, 2x sync buff, ex Sidney with +4 att only hits for 35k post sync parameters.

On sentry entry x2

[dark osprey]

thing about Ciris is that even if u don't pre sync, the foes are incapacitated & don't hit that hard

[vital gazelle]

yea C iris is usually crazy good

she was my first lvl 150

[vital gazelle]

that sounds decent under sentry entry x2

[dark osprey]

tried to one-shot though but couldn't get there by very little.

[old orchid]

[steel kelp]

Well that was one annoying week

I’ll take 9.5k

[verbal karma]

ARGH

So close

[river pagoda]

what order did yall take? ;0

[verbal karma]

But Candice gets KO'd by the last ad

[keen jasper]

What's your team?

[prime warren]

Why is Mina in that team?

[verbal karma]

I am able to defeat Drake and the left ad, but not the right ad

[steel kelp]

Type medal

[prime warren]

If you are covering types only
Run your strongest physical option

Not candice

[verbal karma]

Atk Debuff AND Type medal

[prime warren]

It doesnt have to be ontype

[keen jasper]

What's your Roxanne's grid?

[keen jasper]

Doesn't Sycamore handle the fairy typing easily?

[spring fable]

why not sycamore for fairy type?

[prime warren]

If he were to use sycamore
It wouldn't be vs drake anyways

[prime warren]

Coz you bring physical unit

[keen jasper]

That grid is so wrong on so many levels

Are you really relying on Wide Guard?

[verbal karma]

I mean, it lets my team live longer

[prime warren]

It's not mm

Why so much focus on being defensive

When you can brute force

[steel kelp]

Debuffing doesn’t matter if they can still kill you

[verbal karma]

Because without the defense, my team dies WAY too quickly

[prime warren]

It's hard mode
They don't hit you as hard

My roxanne can tank 4 hits in MM

Thats more than enuff to kill the stage itself

[verbal karma]

Still hard enough for me that when I had Marley instead of Roxanne, one post Sync-Attack Earthquake did a team wipe

...WITH debuffs

[spring fable]

how many out of 5 have you beated?

[verbal karma]

None

Drake is Round 1

[prime warren]

You aren't supposed to do drake round 1

Coz you bring physical unit

[undone ether]

Who do you get for R2? ;-;

[prime warren]

[keen panther]

Once I beat Sydney, everything is easy mode again.

[verbal karma]

Glacia

[undone ether]

Damnit

I already cleared glacia

[prime warren]

Also I just realised

That team doesn't have crit buffer

[keen panther]

Just drowned Steven with my usual Roxanne|Archie|May team.

[prime warren]

[keen panther]

[verbal karma]

My planned order is: Drake, Glacia, Sidney, Phoebe

[spring fable]

try sidney r1 with spatkers

i did sydney, glacia, drake then phoebe

[prime warren]

Can you show your units, I'll build 5 teams for you to get 15 medals

I think it will be more productive than let you build team

[undone ether]

Ugh i have to play rng against glacia sigh

Wait no i cant reset it

Well damm haah

[keen jasper]

Complete it first

[keen panther]

[river pagoda]

god

im dumb

[spring fable]

i did sydney first because r1 reduces his dmg (he's physical) while im using spatkers, im not affected by r1

[river pagoda]

i forgot to

quit battle

[verbal karma]

Before I do, I at least want to list what teams I have already planned for the Elite 4 members

[river pagoda]

before finishing sydney first

i probs shudve done like

idk

glacia or something

isnt she physical

grrrrrrrrr

[keen jasper]

She's mostly special

[formal vigil]

She's all special

[river pagoda]

o

[keen jasper]

And you need to deal special damage to her

[river pagoda]

o wait nvm then

my only options were drake or sydney then

nvm im gucci

[spring fable]

i referenced nov's pin, picked a main dmg dealer for each team accordingly, then slotted in supports of different typing while supporting the dmg dealer

then base on the rounds, physical dmg reduc their physical dmg dealers

[keen panther]

Here're my teams.

[spring fable]

while not reducing my own (sydney r1)

[prime warren]

Good thing I optimised my offtype teams last week vs Lucian

Coz this week suks

[verbal karma]

Drake: Roxanne/Candice/Mina
Glacia: Cheryl/Rosa/Raihan
Sydney: Burgh/Sabrina/SS Elesa
Phoebe: Lisia, Karen, LucaCynthia

[keen panther]

Tried to go offtype. Didn't work, so I'll just brute force with weaknesses.

[prime warren]

OK so aside from the Karen team
Other teams are 🚮
And that karen team is overkill

Better show your roster

I remember seeing shit like ssdawn

[river pagoda]

Eee I hate having to redo hard mode for new regions 😩 r these teams fine? Alr did Sydney r1 Phoebe R2 gonna do glacia r3 Drake r4

[verbal karma]

I originally wanted to use Guzma for Sidney due to being a physical striker, but that's apparently a bad idea?

[prime warren]

You clearly can do better units

[keen panther]

Why is your screen like sunset?

[river pagoda]

night light filter

[prime warren]

Guzma is probs better

[steel kelp]

Filter

[prime warren]

But he himself isn't worthy enuff to slot

[steel kelp]

So it’s not a white light in your eye

[keen panther]

[prime warren]

An offtype physical unit would be way better

Oh god you have units

Lmao

[steel kelp]

I’m lost

Why are struggling?

[verbal karma]

I am trying to R1 Drake

[prime warren]

Mans struggling hard mode with that roster to collect types

[river pagoda]

can anyone lmk if i can fit an extra type or two in these teams? ;0

[prime warren]

[river pagoda]

drake r1 shud be ez

[steel kelp]

[verbal karma]

with this team

[steel kelp]

Of all the options

[prime warren]

@verbal karma can you filter to only 5* and send strike, tech, support seperately?

[keen jasper]

You tryna copy my name or wut JK

[prime warren]

The pics you sent make it hard to check your roster

[river pagoda]

[verbal karma]

It is already 5* only, actually

But sure

[prime warren]

Then send it by classes

Filter base typing

And rarity

[verbal karma]

@prime warren all strikers

[keen jasper]

I noticed a lot of people are doing the E4 this week by this order:
Drake ---> Glacia ---> Sidney ---> Phoebe

[summer flare]

I did Drake, Phoebe, glacia and sydney

So far, managed to not resort to offtyping

[steel kelp]

Sidney >drake>phoebe>glacia

[summer flare]

But I had to go for the weirdest set of parameters I've ever used

[river pagoda]

r4 glacia?

[steel kelp]

Yes

[summer flare]

I went with uh

[verbal karma]

...I wonder where Blaziken is...

[prime warren]

Here

You didn't send tech

Also filter base rarity thx

[spring fable]

sydney, glacia, drake then phoebe

[trail smelt]

It was pain lol

Blizzard hit hard

[river pagoda]

oh my god im so stupid i thought sycamore covered grass but apparently its based off sync move

so he covers fairy

i can use him for glacia thank GOD

[river pagoda]

i kept dying to blizzards holy

have to use sycamore

im dying here

[steel kelp]

Doesn’t help she had sentry entry

[old orchid]

did you change the weather?

[river pagoda]

she never set weather

im doing her r3

[steel kelp]

And already used SS hilda and SST red wasn’t gonna use SS lyra

[old orchid]

oh wait i thought she was fire weak sorry

[verbal karma]

Oh, base rarity...

[summer flare]

So, for glacia and sydney, I had to use this:
All atk spatk up parameters
Half hp, half mp, half healing, sync buff, no stat reduction, no status condition, gradual healing, both power on hits, gauge and power +2

[river pagoda]

all good

[steel kelp]

She’s steel weak

So like only raihan

[river pagoda]

steel weak w sentry entry = only raihan

and pure pain when i dont have him

[steel kelp]

Next week we get to burn her to a crisp

[river pagoda]

its not tht bad when im using sc grimsley on hard mode but ik itll be pain when im doing mm

[steel kelp]

[prime warren]

Raihan rollers winning every steel weak MM

[summer flare]

I had to use Raihan for this, yeah

[verbal karma]

@prime warren all strikers wirh base rarity 5*

[undone ether]

Tasukte ;-;

[spring fable]

can 5/5 burgh win sydney in hard mode

[verbal karma]

@prime warren all techies with base rarity 5*

[summer flare]

I had to raise him to 150 and EX on the spot, but

[steel kelp]

Dena can we get more special steel attackers besides raihan? Ok thx

[prime warren]

He can but your heart must be made of steel to pull that off

[summer flare]

I guess that pulling for N had it's benefits

[verbal karma]

@prime warren and all Supports

[grand trout]

Help I'm having trouble with Sidney r4

[verbal karma]

I...have a surprisingly small amount of supports

[steel kelp]

It’s not like they release supports every month

[summer flare]

Do you have alder and not a hint of love for yourself?

[steel kelp]

We just got what 3 tech units from variety scout

[summer flare]

I happen to have done Sydney r4 2k

[grand trout]

Yes to the former, idk to the ladder

The thing is he's too bulky

[prime warren]

Raihan , sycamore , glacia
SShilda, SSerika, leaf
Ash, 2 kanto deadweights to cover typing
Karen, flyhan, SSAcyn
Archie, Winona, roxanne

There 5 teams @verbal karma

[grand trout]

Alder sync barely does a dent

[summer flare]

So, I've used alder, hop and SS blue for this

[prime warren]

These teams can even 10k MM

[verbal karma]

Oh yeah, the variety scout I was forced to skip just to maybe have enough gems to pity on the Jasmine & Ampharos banner 😦

[summer flare]

You sync with SS blue and spits bug fire up their faces

As for alder dealing damage

[verbal karma]

...good bye, Flareon... 😦

[summer flare]

I've used these Frankenstein parameters

[undone ether]

Glacia or SC Jasmine yes?

[verbal karma]

Who for whom?

[prime warren]

He is doing hard mode

[undone ether]

Oh

[prime warren]

Glacia to cover ice type medal

[summer flare]

My alder is 1/5, it is 150, not EX

[undone ether]

ah

[summer flare]

If your alder is any better than that, he should be enough

For this run I simply didn't need to sync with alder

[undone ether]

this is my roster. >_<

[river pagoda]

SHE KEEPS SPAMMMING BLIZZARDS EOWIUJFWEOI

[undone ether]

yeah that blizzard shit is not good

[prime warren]

Karen vs Phoebe, raihan vs glacia, SShilda vs drake, ash vs sidney, Archie vs champion @verbal karma

[undone ether]

SS Hilda vs Drake? D:?!

[prime warren]

Why not?

That team has SSerika

[verbal karma]

Wait...SS Hilda vs Drake?

[undone ether]

oh that's why

[prime warren]

And you can spam seating shot just fine

It's still 150 BP under sun

[undone ether]

are you using SS Erika? D:

err SS Morty rather

[prime warren]

I gave the teams above
