Champion Stadium

[undone ether]

HUM

[prime warren]

I don't remember seeing SSmorty

Not like he can run him anyways

Coz gotta get the medal

[undone ether]

got it

i'm poking for 2k CS though ;-;

[summer flare]

I just finished 10k

[undone ether]

😭

[summer flare]

Rounds were drake, Phoebe, glacia and sydney

For Steven, I've used permanent field effects

[undone ether]

C Serena for Steven i guess?

[prime warren]

I am just so happy that I managed to test my offtype teams last week
Only issue I had was vs Phoebe coz I tried going ontype

[summer flare]

Kris

[prime warren]

[undone ether]

huh kris

[trail smelt]

Cerena and DGloria crush Steven hard

[summer flare]

For Steven I went Hilbert, Winona and kris

[undone ether]

i think i used SS Blue, Kris and Hilbert

Oh Winona

[frosty axle]

Phoebe was doable F2P at least with the sync cd

[undone ether]

i'm guessing Winona for -DEF? o.o

[spring fable]

so far all the champions felt easier than the e4

[summer flare]

I just used a cursed set of parameters that allowed me to kill stuff presync even in round 3

[undone ether]

*Defense Crush 2 or rather

[frosty axle]

just Sidney and Steven left then done

[undone ether]

cuz if you let him build up his DEF its going to be hard 😦

[verbal karma]

Help, R1 Drake KOs SS Erika with his Sync Attack

No, I clearly need someone who can debuff Atk

There simply is no other option

[spring fable]

whats your sydney team?

[prime warren]

There's no way this SSerika team had issue vs drake

Also do drake in R2

For perma sun

[trail smelt]

What’s wrong with thatSSHildateam?

[undone ether]

that's for clearing medals only.

not 2k

[verbal karma]

Wait, sun can interrupt perma sandstorm?

[trail smelt]

Yeah

[prime warren]

You didn't know?

[trail smelt]

Perma just means the duration is infinite

[prime warren]

Weren't you playing for almost a year atleast

[summer flare]

So, teams were:
Round 1 drake - ghetsis, Lucian and SS Kris
Round 2 Phoebe - Sydney, MR and Sonia
Round 3 glacia - Raihan, SS elesa and Sabrina
Round 4 Sydney - alder, hop and SS blue
Round 5 Steven - permanent field effects - Kris, Winona and hilbert

[trail smelt]

You can still change the weather

[verbal karma]

No, I thought permanent really meant PERMANENT permanent

[prime warren]

You can overwrite weather

[undone ether]

wait, R2 Phoebe is Sydney? 😮

[trail smelt]

That’s what Flannery does iirc

[swift swan]

so long as it can be replaced, it doesn't matter if it's permanent or not

[trail smelt]

Man

[prime warren]

Your sun becomes permanent

[trail smelt]

Been awhile since I fought EX Flannery

[summer flare]

I used Sydney for phoebe

[undone ether]

EX Sydney?

[vital gazelle]

hahahah it worked first try, sc jas top 2 special steel dps confirmed 🫡

[verbal karma]

...wait, Drake can constantly overwrite my sun with his sync attack sandstorm then

[summer flare]

Yes, maxed out

5/5 150 EX

[undone ether]

mad

[prime warren]

You can do presync clear @verbal karma

Just bruteforce mid

[undone ether]

VS Sidney is painful though

is that 3/5 Alder?

[trail smelt]

What does Bede do in that Jasteela team?

[prime warren]

How are you having damage issue with SSerika and SShilda?

[undone ether]

and EX?

[summer flare]

Neither

1/5 no EX

[prime warren]

Are you not buffing em properly?

[swift swan]

that seems like a very close call though

[trail smelt]

Yes but you can interrupt him back

[summer flare]

I just use cursed parameters

[undone ether]

wtf? how?

that guy does Snarls

[verbal karma]

I was already trying to do that with R1 Drake, and clearly, Brute Force mid doesn't deal damage fast enough

[summer flare]

I kill it before sync

[prime warren]

Do R2 vs drake

I said

Not R1

[summer flare]

So he doesn't snarl

[vital gazelle]

it was my first attempt, so i didn’t play it as well as i could’ve

[verbal karma]

R1 Glacia then, correct?

[vital gazelle]

but i got a clutch flinch with leaf

[spring fable]

@verbal karma may i suggest do sydney r1, and use your best special bug pair on him

[prime warren]

Do R1 vs sidney since you are using Ash for that

[frosty axle]

Just got Steven left then done my F2P runs

[river pagoda]

ok sc grims died soon after getting his counter off on glacia so only the sides were left

both spammed blizzzard

just kept going with sycamore and he won it

then drake was ez

steven left now

[vital gazelle]

also skyla would work better than eevee, gauge was tight

[verbal karma]

Oh yeah, I noticed you gave me Ash vs Sydney...instead of a bug striker...

[vital gazelle]

prob should’ve gridded catalyst

[trail smelt]

I needed to be lucky VS Glacia

[prime warren]

Coz Ash is better than almost every bug striker except scemmet vs that fight
Which you don't have

[vital gazelle]

and maybe should’ve been syncing with bede

[trail smelt]

If the sides spammed Blizzard I’m dead

[undone ether]

i think

i'm gonna concede now

[prime warren]

And your other physical options are shit

[undone ether]

._.

its either getting lucky or just having better sync pairs than me

at least Steven is easy

[river pagoda]

if i have fire fighting poison and dragon left for next week im chilling in terms of types right? like thts barely any to randomly fill in next week

[undone ether]

the actual elite 4 are nightmare/impossible

[swift swan]

really? even with eevee giving gauge after every sync?

[undone ether]

at least Glacia was like "Raihan is here to help!"

[swift swan]

you should be fine

[prime warren]

Tbh pal Marnie should work vs glacia as well

Coz zone is 50% free damage

[river pagoda]

nah wait steven is too ez

im swapping out ssb cuz extra water

[spring fable]

sounds good

[prime warren]

SSB damage grid

[undone ether]

lol ssb damage grid

[swift swan]

that means a 1.5x multiplier right? while Sentry Entry x2 doubles the base defense, so even with zone, she won't be hitting as hard as she would usually do

[undone ether]

Impervious much?

[swift swan]

SSB damage grid?

I actually did SSB damage grid once, when we had Moltres in LG

shudder

[prime warren]

But your other dps also get boosted
Wouldn't rly explicitly need raihan

[river pagoda]

ez dubs

i used bea as my tank instead of ssb

[prime warren]

It's only 30% damage drop compared to 100% damage drop

[river pagoda]

spammed her def evade heal tm and used all of blissey tms on her

[prime warren]

For smth like say
Gloria or hop dps

[spring fable]

ez fighting medal?

[swift swan]

fair

fighting medal has always been easy

[river pagoda]

Ez fighting medal indeed 😌✊

[swift swan]

like even with no fighting pairs. just throw in maylene to top off your unit's crit

[spring fable]

meanwhile i havent gotten mine

[trail smelt]

Yeah fighting isn’t one of the problem typings honestly

[undone ether]

man this is embarassing... 4k CSMM 😭

[swift swan]

it was ground and poison for me

[summer flare]

My parameters for it

[swift swan]

hey no worries, hoenn is difficult

[spring fable]

ground poison fighting left

nov have you seen my team for next week

[river pagoda]

i filled ground with bertha against drake for the memes

[summer flare]

I've used those on glacia, Sydney and steven

[river pagoda]

[swift swan]

no actually

[summer flare]

For Sydney, I just used support EX and let alder do his hyper beaming

[undone ether]

WTF?!

Yeah

[summer flare]

The gist of that was to have as little hp as possible on the enemy

[undone ether]

good bye 10000CSMM for the entire month of december

[spring fable]

Here, bea and looker are there to get carried for typing, will replace bea with silver/red for dual strike, and looker with may after I unlock MM

[prime warren]

I am a dumbass so I just go same params with str+6

[summer flare]

So alder could actually trim health bars

[swift swan]

my Sidney team... Brendan actually got two-shotted so I couldn't get a support sync in. Hilbert and Alder just destroyed the stage. 3/5 Brendan, 1/5 for the rest

[summer flare]

With his shady damage numbers

[undone ether]

so basically

Hyper beam yeah?

[summer flare]

Yes

[river pagoda]

man i want alder

[summer flare]

You let hop and SS blue feed him crit and defense

[river pagoda]

volcarona has always been so fucking cool

😩

[undone ether]

i'm guessing you only Sync Move with Sycamore yeah?

[swift swan]

no proper tanks vs Glacia? quite a bold decision considering her offensive stats are even higher than this week

I have no doubt ss hilda can clear though

[river pagoda]

the new alts in SV are sick too

[swift swan]

so I suppose just bruteforce glacia like hell

[summer flare]

SS blue

[vital gazelle]

i was syncing with sc jas everytime, might've been a mistake

[summer flare]

Everything else dies before the second sync

[prime warren]

They gave alder free few months ago
So they'll do it again sometime
I hope

[spring fable]

i just gotta get pass hard mode with bea

[undone ether]

wat srsly?

[river pagoda]

wait

what

alder was free?

[undone ether]

Alder was free

[river pagoda]

when how what

[undone ether]

Anime Collab

[summer flare]

SS blue gives support ex to alder

[river pagoda]

😔 more regret for not playing months ago

[undone ether]

you could get a free Sync Pair

[river pagoda]

mannnnnnnnnnnnnn

[vital gazelle]

i probably should have synced with eevee the second time for the ex buff, and then synced with bede thereon after

with SC jas only taking the first sync

[summer flare]

So alder hyper beams can slap harder than japanese bass slaps

[undone ether]

you had 7 options.

2 Cynthias, 1 Alder, 1 Gloria iirc, N, Steven and Lance?

[river pagoda]

id take alder any day if i had the chance i love volcarona and unova in geneal

[undone ether]

was that right?

[prime warren]

Me with 3/5 scEmmet bruteforcing bug weak stages

[river pagoda]

ooo n steven too

[prime warren]

Tbh he's my best wise entry offtype option aside from gladion

[swift swan]

the rest seems okay. I'm just worried Glacia might kill you faster than you can kill her

[spring fable]

In hard mode too?

[swift swan]

she has 1.3k atk and sp atk on top of 25k HP. at base.

[swift swan]

I wouldn't be so worried if you had a proper tank lol

[spring fable]

So remove sun for hop

Or should I push bea somewhere else

[prime warren]

Ditch bea

[summer flare]

I feel wiser ontyping 10k this week

[swift swan]

you can probably switch ss blue and bea's places around. Ash doesn't need his help, and Volkner can be first target

[summer flare]

It must be my hair line receding

[spring fable]

Okie I’ll do just that

[prime warren]

Run Bruno in Ash team instead of bea for master passive

[swift swan]

inner peace is attained when you know you don't have to ontype every week

[prime warren]

Bruno being relevant for once

[swift swan]

a higher level of inner peace is attained when you know you don't have to 10k every week

but my pride is on the line, so of course I 10k every week

[spring fable]

Wew

[summer flare]

I dislike offtyping, so I try to leave it as a last resort

[swift swan]

epic pro gamer move

[summer flare]

Even if I had to EX pairs on the spot

[swift swan]

haha, me with Hala this week

[summer flare]

I still regret EXing Morty and drifblim

But it was needed

[river pagoda]

could anyone help me choose a support to EX over in #poma-questions not sure who to pick/wait for

[prime warren]

Offtype teams uses less brain so I prefer it

[potent wadi]

Well, I EXed Houndoom today

[vital gazelle]

10k every week is fine once your roster is at a certain level, the only difficulties after that stage are when you want to use lesser units to avoid overkilling or as a challenge

so basically self-imposed stuff

[summer flare]

I self impose on type

Which ends up being cursed very often

[verbal karma]

...why can an icecream cone insta-kill Glacia on Round 3?

[vital gazelle]

yea i always on-type, it's more enjoyable

[swift swan]

because glacia is frail

[vital gazelle]

glacia buffs none of her bulk iirc

she's offensively oriented kit wise, but her grid is defensive

[summer flare]

She buffs defense

[vital gazelle]

weird unit

but i still exed her

[summer flare]

Wait

It's the player glacia, isn't it

Not the cs glacia

[vital gazelle]

yea i thought we're talking about glalie/glacia

the pair

[swift swan]

glacia the pair, right

[summer flare]

I thought there was, somehow, a pair with vanilluxe instakilling the csmm one

[prime warren]

Tank with sycamore

And sync with him

[undone ether]

@summer flare do you think i can just

[prime warren]

Raihan just spams steel beam

[undone ether]

Off-type everything with my roster? 😦

[swift swan]

I assume ice cream cone here means one of the sides in glacia's stage

[swift swan]

Pal Bea instakilling CSMM, love it

[summer flare]

Which offtype behemoths do you have

[verbal karma]

...oh...

[summer flare]

I low-key wanna go back with ash and sst red

[undone ether]

@summer flare

[prime warren]

Glacia is shit tank

I just slotted her

Coz you wanted coverage for medal

You tank and sync with sycamore for gauge

[verbal karma]

why is she a tank then if she is bad at tanking?!

[vital gazelle]

glacia is an ok crit buffer and alright tank (if gridded properly) with supp ex

[verbal karma]

Moreso a question towards DeNa

[prime warren]

She can tank some stuff

[vital gazelle]

she has fa4 in grid

and some other nodes

[prime warren]

Especially in hail

She isn't supposed to be a CS unit

[manic mica]

my ssn keeps missing his freeze shocks

[prime warren]

More like LG unit

[undone ether]

i think the reason why i'm dying so much is because

i go full defense/hp

and i just dont do full offensive things 😭

/me sighs in a corner

[river pagoda]

do yall always go for 15/5 ratio when using powerups? ;0 or 10/10

[undone ether]

i do 5/15

[prime warren]

Depends

[undone ether]

when i can

[river pagoda]

5/15 as in 5 PUs 15 tickets?

[prime warren]

If you are new you go 10/10

[undone ether]

(custom powerups/regular powerups)

[river pagoda]

ah mb i swapped my numbers

im doing 5/15 usually

ill try 10/10

[summer flare]

Well, if ash and sst red can't offtype a stage, no one can

[prime warren]

Once you run out of lodge units
Your income gets gimped hard

[river pagoda]

so save my regular PUs by doing 10/10 yeah?

[undone ether]

goddamnit orz

[summer flare]

If you wanna go to the extreme ends, just slam them together

[undone ether]

yep guess i'm 10k-let for December

[prime warren]

Imagine running Ash and SST red together

And not going 4.3k pts

[undone ether]

😭

[prime warren]

♿♿♿

[undone ether]

i'm just bad with Params

[prime warren]

Why being bad with params

[summer flare]

I believe SS Morty and may should have enough muscle to elbow drop stuff

[prime warren]

Just pick everything

[summer flare]

SS may*

[prime warren]

Ash+SSTred can still do the stage

[undone ether]

😮

[summer flare]

SS Kris and Cyrus are also a monstrously powerful duo

[undone ether]

i mean i tried SST Red only with my bug catching team

[summer flare]

And you can even add in Archie for longer rain

Or just run permanent rain

[undone ether]

R2 Drake right?

[prime warren]

Yes

Coz you bring weather team anyways to overwrite sand

Might as well let it stay indefinitely

[summer flare]

SSteven hits harder than devilman crybaby

[undone ether]

he does :x

[summer flare]

So he's your fourth offtyper

[prime warren]

Me who was in hiatus during johto and hoenn VA

Yea sure

[undone ether]

i was trying to get to 3/5 SS Steven

but alas, i'm short of a candy :x

[prime warren]

Does he even gain anything noticable in 3/5 other than furious brain?

[summer flare]

So, for the last one, I guess you can just go for Sydney with Ccalem

[prime warren]

Feels like waste of tech candies when throwing at SSsteven

[undone ether]

Ccalem huh

Kris is actually really good against Steven so

[prime warren]

Coz there are tech pairs that actually rely on grid unlike him

[undone ether]

i'm not changing my sync pairs

[prime warren]

Every water type is good vs Steven

[summer flare]

You give Sydney dark zone and whatever stage you put in front of him will end up yeeted to digimon masters

[trail smelt]

Didn’t that shut down

[summer flare]

Even better

[undone ether]

Oh yeah

[summer flare]

It will be yeeted to the shadow realm

[undone ether]

i forgot

Phoebe does Ghost Zone

so when you Dark Zone

i see

[summer flare]

You don't even need to go that far

You give Sydney dark zone

He'll shove the entire absol down someone's throat

It hits obscenely hard

[spring fable]

👀

[undone ether]

too bad i dont have EX Sydney though 😭

[prime warren]

I am quite certain zone Sydney can one shot mid
Considering zoneless MR almost took half HP

[undone ether]

currently i'm charging my phone for another runthrough

[summer flare]

I've cleared her with zoneless sydney

So things could even out

[prime warren]

Well you can clear zoneless
But can you one shot?

[manic mica]

lmao i defeated glacia with eggmon magneton and palentine's marnie

[summer flare]

I managed to beat Sydney using alder's dinner date with Cynthia

[manic mica]

the extent i went just because i didn't pull for raihan

like

[trail smelt]

Noice

[summer flare]

Aka the most miserable alder there is

I don't need to oneshot with sydney

[verbal karma]

Heck, even with Sycamore tanking and Sycamore's sync attack, Raihan still gets merc'd by one single post sync attack Blizzard

[summer flare]

As beating hoenn csmm with 1/5 alder felt good enough

[undone ether]

hmmm

SS Steven against Sidney then?

[verbal karma]

Who was the third wheel? :v

[prime warren]

It's a +6 spl def and not even MM, try it again

Raihan is designed to destroy that stage

[summer flare]

Alder, as for who was the second, only fanficwriters know

[verbal karma]

...is it Bad that Raihan is only 1/5?

[summer flare]

It's doable, but unorthodox

For me

I have 150 1/5 EX raihan

[prime warren]

I said he's designed for that stage

[summer flare]

Had to do some shady shenanigans to take him to the finish line

[prime warren]

He's literally the best option

[verbal karma]

...it's Lucas, is it?

[summer flare]

But he does the job

[undone ether]

i have 1/5 EX Raihan

just not level 150 :x

[summer flare]

I'm not a fanficwriter to say

[verbal karma]

I don't have Raihan EX'd

[prime warren]

You don't need ex

[formal vigil]

I beat it with a 1/5 non ex raihan

[prime warren]

You just spam steel beam on mid

And sync with sycamore

[verbal karma]

I do that already

and still

[summer flare]

I think my issue was

Glacia was round 3

[river pagoda]

Do u triple queue

[prime warren]

Did you grid glacia to focus group?

Oh yea

[summer flare]

So I had to kill stuff blazingly fast

[prime warren]

Are you doing glacia R3?

[verbal karma]

Would have to double check

[summer flare]

Yes

[verbal karma]

Yup

[prime warren]

Not you highlander

Oh god

[river pagoda]

☠️

[prime warren]

That wouldn't cut

[verbal karma]

Because I am avoiding R4 Glacia like the plague

[river pagoda]

Man's doing r3 glacia

[trail smelt]

If it was my fanfiction it would be ||Steven||

[summer flare]

So

[prime warren]

Do Phoebe for R3

[trail smelt]

Good idea

[prime warren]

Since you can nuke with Karen

[trail smelt]

I did it R4 and it was hard lol

[spring fable]

||sophocles|| for me

[summer flare]

My answer to that was to use SS elesa

[prime warren]

Is your Karen ex'd?

[verbal karma]

Nope

[river pagoda]

R3 and r4 glacia r both annoying af 😩

[summer flare]

And hope you can nuke twice with Raihan

[prime warren]

Oh yea

Non ex Karen suks
I should recommend smth else

[spring fable]

can confirm karen dont need ex to clear

[verbal karma]

:I

[summer flare]

I used so many terrible parameters

To clear glacia r3

[spring fable]

i literally threw her with 2 free pairs and they did just fine (for hard mode)

[verbal karma]

I am still trying to avoid R4 Glacia, though

[summer flare]

I started floating as my wisdom poured in

[spring fable]

helena and rosa, none ex

[prime warren]

OK use zygarde for that fight
Instead of flyhan, bring piers @verbal karma

Your zygarde is ex no?

[spring fable]

wew does obstruct blocks sync?

[prime warren]

It doesnt

But piers give crit

[spring fable]

ah

[undone ether]

Something like this? O.o

[spring fable]

broken if it does

[undone ether]

SS Steven for SIdney, Phoebe with Karen/Sidney, no changes for Anti Glacia

[verbal karma]

Nope

[undone ether]

annd SS Kris w/ Palkia 😦

[verbal karma]

The only EX'd units I have are the ones from those Legendary Pokémon events

[formal vigil]

Replace either hilbet or sonia with a rain setter

[prime warren]

Why do you not have any unit EXd

Wtf

You don't use those mats at all?

[grand trout]

Done, thanks

[undone ether]

you need Rain for VS Steven? 😮

[spring fable]

@verbal karma could you try karen, helena and rosa for phoebe pls?

[grand trout]

I wonder why he didn't do much damage first run

[spring fable]

or are the types overlapping

[verbal karma]

I am trying to save up for the truly important units, and I only have 27 tickets

[prime warren]

SSerika already used iirc

Ex your zygarde or Karen

[summer flare]

It helps

[spring fable]

ah rosa job was mainly move gauge replenish

[undone ether]

guh

[prime warren]

Preferably zygarde

[formal vigil]

You could use winnona

[undone ether]

i really wish i had Vaporeon/kris 😭

[spring fable]

can use phoebe dusknoir if ghost still needed

[verbal karma]

Can't

[undone ether]

err Vaporeon/Lyra rather

[verbal karma]

Winnona is already for champ

[prime warren]

You will struggle in MM even if you manage to clear hardmode

If you don't have any EX units

[spring fable]

^ me next week

[vital gazelle]

lmaooo this stage was made for ss misty

[verbal karma]

I could do MM relatively okay last week

[undone ether]

wait, doesnt SS Cerena make it rain? D:

[prime warren]

Coz you are already struggling to do 0 params
Ofc 2k params by boosting opponent would be far harder

[verbal karma]

This is just Hoenn CS being Hoenn CS

[spring fable]

wait wot

[undone ether]

...i'm tired

[vital gazelle]

permanent field effect param + rain/gaugeaccel/statreductionfield

[undone ether]

imma just eat first

haaah

[spring fable]

the typing restriction might be the reason, they might have a team they could use if type restriction wasnt a thing idk

[prime warren]

They don't have any units ex'd

Theyll have issues even with optimal teams

Hell some of the teams I gave are optimal ones

[spring fable]

oh you mentioned 2k

[prime warren]

Like the raihan team

Coz that's what I'd run if my raihan was 1/5

[spring fable]

ignore me my noob ass been doing 850 for kanto, 700 for sinnoh

[prime warren]

Imagine stopping at 800
When you can go for 4.3k

[spring fable]

boolie

i should really start ex-ing my supps

but it sucks doing it at 1/5 even if i use them a bunch (cause they're all i have)

[prime warren]

Well tbf you end up not needing support ex in cs runs after one point

[summer flare]

I should EX supports more, but every time I try to gather materials, there is an emergency EX to do

[prime warren]

All you need is 5 support ex

After that smth that does damage take priority

[boreal rose]

This weak hurts. R1 is ohysical damage reduction. Ever of the weaknesses i want to use physical damage dealers cuz i have to

[spring fable]

i have 4 EXes, 2 of which were free 💀

[prime warren]

Preferably you have like 1 support ex per region

[potent wadi]

I know for this month, Dark and Steel weak have Sentry Entry while Ice has wise entry. Weren't there more stages with this though?

[vital gazelle]

this weeks cs was v fun

[keen jasper]

It only lasts until the end of December

[trail smelt]

She does not. CCalem does though

[full mesa]

Apart from Drake, I had no issues this week.

[trail smelt]

Drake’s an odd one to have trouble with haha

[undone ether]

😭

[full mesa]

I don't have Candice Ex and abomasnow couldn't one shot the side to deny.

[undone ether]

i think

[full mesa]

Ended up using Volkner/SSTRed/Kukui.

[undone ether]

imma poke the pokemon masters ex facebook for help sighs in a corner

[spring fable]

im scared for next week, looking at your responses
i dont think i can even do 850

[undone ether]

bruh, i maxed out at 4000pts.

[full mesa]

Next week is easy. Elec/Grass/Fire are free. Fairy too with Mina. Rock might be an issue.

[undone ether]

Glacia and Steven was easy enough

[verbal karma]

Damn, even when I defeat Glacia and the right ad, the left ad still manages to merc Raihan... 😦

[spring fable]

free where

[full mesa]

For Glacia, I had to fish for good RNG.

[undone ether]

Elec is basically feed to either pikachu.

Grass is SS Erika

and Fire is SS Hilda

[verbal karma]

I wish there was a way for Raihan to dodge

[undone ether]

Fairy is with Mina, sometimes

[spring fable]

free aint a suitable word

[full mesa]

Ho-oh -> Fire, Grass we have lots of f2p and semi-f2p units. Elec either use the rodents or something free.

[spring fable]

mhm

missing ss erika tho

[undone ether]

Rock for me will be easy

SC Hilda

[full mesa]

It is. Team building above everything else.

[undone ether]

Punch really really ahrd

[spring fable]

hope lugarugan does me well

[undone ether]

but

Goddamnit

this week

[full mesa]

I want to try out SSBrock.

[undone ether]

@full mesa i died ;-;

[prime warren]

Fairy: diantha, redlax
Electric: pikas
Fire: zards
Rock: cblue

Next week too ez

[verbal karma]

I wish I also had a Move Candy right now

[full mesa]

Annoying as heck.

[undone ether]

i have Diantha too

[prime warren]

Hardest is grass coz my SSerika is only 2/5

[undone ether]

i just dont have Redlax 😭

my SS Erika is 5/5 EX now

Haaah

[prime warren]

I just want 1 more

[verbal karma]

With even one move candy, I could then give him Stalwart

[spring fable]

i dont have ss erika what should i do

[prime warren]

Oh yea

[full mesa]

I hate Hoenn more than Sinnoh. Sinnoh is hard, it's a challenge. Hoenn is annoying. No challenge at all. Just idiotic gimmicks.

[prime warren]

Silver gets powerboost

Not that it matters for solarbeam build

[full mesa]

+20 free spa

[prime warren]

I'll just do solar beam silver since it's better than 2/5 SSerika

For now

[full mesa]

Also boost the spa through tm

[spring fable]

he's that good using solar beam?

[full mesa]

Yes

[spring fable]

wew

[prime warren]

He has innate CS5

[spring fable]

woah

[prime warren]

And runs WW3

[keen jasper]

Yeah, his damage no matter what he uses is very strong whether it be Sacred Fire, Overheat or Solar Beam

[verbal karma]

...lmao, I tried to give Raihan Vigilance through a lucky skill, and the cookie gave me Stalwart instead

[prime warren]

I don't run overheat

[keen jasper]

Just remember he needs sun

[verbal karma]

Task failed successfully

[prime warren]

Coz imagine losing that nice WW3 sync

Tho I still use overheat first 2 attacks

[spring fable]

is his ex coming out first or power boost?

[keen jasper]

EX first

[spring fable]

sadge

[prime warren]

For solarbeam it doesn't matter

[keen jasper]

Have to wait for like 1 or 2 weeks for the power boost

Villain events usually have 2 separate events

1 for the EX boost of that specific region's legendary arc unit and the other is the power boost for said legendary arc unit

[prime warren]

I also have ssleaf for grass

But it's like telling lance is a good dragon type dps

[keen jasper]

So is SS Leaf a viable nuker now?

[prime warren]

She isnt

Never will be

Her grid boost is mainly debuff focussed

[keen jasper]

Even with her additional nodes?

[prime warren]

It's expensive

It's not like garchomp

[keen jasper]

She does have Power Play and Devastation or smth.

[prime warren]

You can't pick all the nice ones

Powerplay yes

[spring fable]

2 days i think

[prime warren]

But you can't even pick toxic power 5

If you pick that

I honestly don't recommend candying her at all

[keen jasper]

I bet someone will

[prime warren]

It's not like zekrom or raihan where boost is actually worth

Maybe someone that wants to solo cress/latios

Coz she can debuff both atks , both defenses and evasion now

[wispy parrot]

Hello everyone, I have a question about champion stadium

How can I know if I can do 10.000 points? how many EX characters do I need for doing it?

[prime warren]

Depends on your teams and button pressing skills

[verbal karma]

Alright!

[prime warren]

EX alone doesn't say much

[verbal karma]

Stalwart was the key!

Now only Phoebe is left

[spring fable]

Grats!

What team are you walking in with

[wispy parrot]

Is there a list of point options that I can use generically for beating all the stages? or it depends based on the battle?

[prime warren]

Depends on battle

There are generic teams

But those are like meta shit

Like double pikas, dragon zone zygarde , terrain deoxys etc

They can do anything

If you don't have such options, you gonna have to build team based on the opponent passives and weakness

[wispy parrot]

oh ok thank you so much 🙂

[verbal karma]

Man, R4 Phoebe was EASY by comparison

[keen jasper]

Boy you have no idea how much I easily swept her

[spring fable]

Heh

[spring fable]

On to the champion!!!

[prime warren]

Phoebe was my hardest coz I went against her in R1 with MR

Sydney was easiest, escavalier goes brrrrr

[spring fable]

I went against her r4 but similarly, the hardest

[verbal karma]

Done!

[keen jasper]

Wait, is that hard or master?

[spring fable]

grats!

hard

[keen jasper]

How many types?

[spring fable]

lets finish up the medal and do mm next week!

[verbal karma]

Hard with 15 types

Allowing me a buffer of 3 types for next week

[undone ether]

all of them or something

depends on your sync pairs...

haah

[keen jasper]

What are your 3 types remaining?

[verbal karma]

Ground, Bug, Ghost

[frank shuttle]

Hmm I'm trying to figure out IF I should save Serena/Calem for Steven or use them right away under Master

What are you guys suggest ?

[keen jasper]

You can use them separately, they're very strong in their own terms

[frosty axle]

My f2p Hoenn run will be up later

had to like offtype 3 stages

[keen jasper]

Max HP, strength and defense params

It's absolutely insane how much damage she can deal even if the enemy has so much defensive stats and this is without grid too

[spring fable]

Elio good?

[keen jasper]

For what?

[spring fable]

Idk your using him

How is he?

[keen jasper]

He's actually a good partner for Cerena

[spring fable]

Oh

What does he debuff / do?

[keen jasper]

Speed, Sp. Def. and Def.

At 50% chance

[spring fable]

Is that at 3/5?

[keen jasper]

Yes

[spring fable]

Damn sounds good

[keen jasper]

That's why he's useful for the Diantha EB

[swift swan]

Elio is still good at base. 1-gauge spam, has good gauge control, one of the rare x sp def all units

[spring fable]

Wew I haven’t paid much attention to him

[keen jasper]

He buffs offensive stats to your team by 4 assuming he used 3 gauges

[frank shuttle]

How the heck do people win off of trap 😂

[mellow linden]

Stall teams

[frank shuttle]

I tried it and it work well for me loo

I like paralysis etc?

[mellow linden]

Stall teams use Poison (or very very rarely Burn) and often Trapped alongside defensive buffs and offensive debuffs to outlast the opponent

[frank shuttle]

Oooh

So poison is better lol

[mellow linden]

Poison is better than Burn, yes. Trapped is often used alongside Poison since 2 of the major Poison inflictors (Lucy and BP Erika) and 1 of the major debuffer options (Viola) can apply it

[spring fable]

is viola and janine interchangable

[mellow linden]

Viola can replace Janine in some cases where the opponent uses only special moves

But Janine is generally better

[spring fable]

okies

[undone ether]

😮

yeah i went with max hp

a bit of strength, but a lot of defense

[keen jasper]

And like I said, she is without grid

[undone ether]

i used her against Glacia

haah

this is just very frustrating ;_;

[keen jasper]

If she was 3/5 and gridded, she would've probably damage capped Steven even with max HP, strength and defense params

[undone ether]

yeah i'm waiting for like 4k gems

to spark her to 2/5

i'm gonna try again

off-type this time sigh

Ugh i really cant kill drake fast enough

[keen jasper]

What's your team?

[undone ether]

Im trying ghetsis, ss brendan and ss kris

But no dice

[keen jasper]

With my Ghetsis team, I used SS Morty, Ghetsis and Pryce

[onyx ice]

Just realized that my strongest Dark special damage dealer (that can get 6ex support boosted) is Sawyer

[undone ether]

Pryce huh

[keen jasper]

SS Morty can probably be replaceable for SS Kris

[keen jasper]

Yeah, he sets up Ghetsis's innate sync multiplier faster

[undone ether]

Hmmm

[keen jasper]

The lower the target's speed, the more the damage

[undone ether]

Whats the params?

[keen jasper]

How do I type it in....

[keen jasper]

Both screens, offensive parameters, gradual healing, half healing and +6 strength

[undone ether]

1.250 now

Ppwer on hit as well?

[keen jasper]

Yeah, forgot about that too

[undone ether]

1.8k now

[trail smelt]

Fwiw Drake has wise entry so that could be troublesome for your ice team

[keen jasper]

-2 gauge

[undone ether]

2.1k now

Okay trying now orz

Died

Impossible;-;

[keen jasper]

Ok, I'll show how to do it

[keen jasper]

Besides, I think you have the parameters wrong too

[undone ether]

I guess

Full offensive just means they hit jarder right?

[keen jasper]

Ok, Drake did X Speed All and it ruined my multiplier already

[undone ether]

Yeah he does speed up o.o

I hate how rng this week is

[keen jasper]

Damned X Speed All

[undone ether]

U got lucky fam

[keen jasper]

Oh, and Earthquake crit on Pryce, wonderful

[undone ether]

Ded

[keen jasper]

Hold on

[undone ether]

Its too rng ill skip this week

[keen jasper]

And again, Earthquake crit on my Pryce

So annoying

[undone ether]

Very

Think i could

Do my sand team?

[keen jasper]

Hold on first

[dark osprey]

Maybe you could do your sun team with Silver

[undone ether]

Burn huh

[keen jasper]

Damned X Speed All again

[dark osprey]

Just nuke and debuff attack maybe

Hopefully silver EX

[undone ether]

U got rng ;-;

I do

[dark osprey]

Difficult to comprehend that Candice nuke is lesser than ghetsis with wise entry

[undone ether]

Just silver and ss morty?

[dark osprey]

Can even cheat a bit with a sleeper

Or attack debuffer

[keen jasper]

Ok done

I just let X Speed All happen

[keen jasper]

Drake still died to Ghetsis's sync at -5 speed

Iris (Alt.)

[undone ether]

;D

[dark osprey]

Is she 3/5? Then just nuke em with her

[keen jasper]

Now to compress my video

[undone ether]

Oh come on lmao

I just shifted from cs2 to defense crush

[dark osprey]

Both are fine

[steel kelp]

Why did they change it to alt

[dark osprey]

Sad

[keen jasper]

Because there will be a Unova protag that will become Neo Champion

[undone ether]

Letsee your magic again hooh

[keen jasper]

Wait, my video is uploading

There it is

[dark osprey]

Probably try the ghetsis one and if not, wouldn't need silver on that team. Can use ghetsis maybe for faster debuffs and aoe damage as well then

[prime warren]

Using SS Morty with ghetsis of all things
At that point might as well use a fire dps

[keen jasper]

SS Morty was there to remove weather and to buff Ghetsis's reamaining not maxed Sp. Atk.

And also provide gauge control too

[prime warren]

Ghetsis gets full spl atk if you take half HP parameter

Not that it is recommended but it is a thing

[steel kelp]

Half hp parameter

[onyx ice]

Ended up using Candice and Hala

[frosty axle]

my F2P run #1049327702886318110 message

[onyx ice]

Wanted to use Karen against Phoebe, but sync doesn't one shot and they get rid of dark zone after i sync

[keen jasper]

I used Karen without dark zone, just make sure you queue Dark Pulse before Phoebe syncs

[dark osprey]

Maybe with zone and rebuff?

[onyx ice]

Ended up using Sawyer

[onyx ice]

Yes, but Lillie is mandatory for me

[dark osprey]

Ah then it's difficult

[onyx ice]

95 % accuracy on snarl and 80% crit on sync are a big no for me

I mean, if i drop -2 sync i could probably do it

[formal vigil]

Just bring another spak debuffer

[onyx ice]

I used Sawyer DPS

[keen jasper]

I used Leafvee, Karen and Lucian

Coincidentally, I didn't know that this week's Phoebe is actually physical

Or she does physical damage

[onyx ice]

Ended up using the greninjas+ Sawyer

I could have definitely offtyped, but i wanted to play by the rules

[keen jasper]

Ghetsis can do Drake with Pryce, but needs a support to help with the gauge

[onyx ice]

Ghethsis is basically offtyiping

[keen jasper]

But I still managed

[onyx ice]

Yes he definitely could, but wise entry x2 just compensate for super effective

And not that is even that frail from the physical side

[undone ether]

Ugh

I cant into getting the timing right

[keen jasper]

Timing of what?

[undone ether]

Getting a 2nd sync in before he can fire 1

Ah wait

[onyx ice]

You need adrenaline, denial or quad queue

[undone ether]

You habe 3 yeh

Yeah im tired haaah

[keen jasper]

Yeah, I had Adrenaline on my SS Morty

[undone ether]

I dont sadly :-:

[keen jasper]

Now all I need is my copium for Berserker Bunch and All Ramped Up on his 4/5 and 5/5 grid

[undone ether]

Oh wells

[keen jasper]

Do you have SS Kris?

[undone ether]

I hope next week... Imma pinch really hard

Yeah i have ss kris

[keen jasper]

Then perhaps she can serve as replacement for SS Morty

She even has Rain Dance

[undone ether]

What grid for her? Ive normally used her on rain dance teams uwu

[keen jasper]

Is she 3/5?

[undone ether]

Ye

This is what i use xd

[keen jasper]

Since you're going to be needing gauge control, I'd say something like this

[keen jasper]

BTW, what lucky skill does she have?

[undone ether]

Vigilance

[keen jasper]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1801/24500?s=3&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggLDhocHiEiJigq

Better pray for that Staggering RNG

Stoic is for Earthquakes

[undone ether]

K

[keen jasper]

Do Rain Dance as the last action of the 1st turn

[undone ether]

Eh

1st turn of wut

Sync move?

[keen jasper]

1st turn, when you start the battle

[undone ether]

Oh

Screw this cs

Haaah

I Pray for hala next time

[keen jasper]

Don't wanna use Candice?

[undone ether]

Shes not ex

Wise entry is bullshit too

[keen jasper]

I used her and she isn't EX-ed

[undone ether]

With what team?

[keen jasper]

EX Glacia, Candice and BP Morty

[undone ether]

I dont have ex glacia sadly

[keen jasper]

I don't think that matters

[undone ether]

Just ice punch?

[keen jasper]

I nuked with her

I also got lucky on the Hail MP refreshes too

[undone ether]

Wat grid for her + glacia?

[keen jasper]

https://youtu.be/sAyf7jAPvgA

[undone ether]

Ww3 oof

[keen jasper]

CS2 is still fine

Just losing out 10% damage when you're under Hail

[undone ether]

So uh

Who ayncs, candice?

[keen jasper]

If you have no EX supporter, Candice only

[wind arrow]

And should I aim for 10K or is there a safe stopping point for f2p

[swift swan]

4.2k is a good starting point, that's where all the good rewards stop. so 850 per round, there are pinned parameters on pins

if you feel like you can do more points vs 1 stage, feel free to bump it up a bit more and decrease your points vs another stage, so you can still gain a net total of 4.2k

just as a side note, 10k is completely doable with f2p pairs. you just need some investment and practice

[wind arrow]

Icic

[undone ether]

Haaah

Im sleeping

She never breaks 20k with her sync move

11k only .-.

[manic mica]

Im on round 3 and im stuck with sidney

[swift swan]

r3 is pretty tricky, yeah

what's your other option?

although R3 isn't really about who you fight, but what your team is

[keen jasper]

You can probably use Darach for Defog and attack debuff

[manic mica]

Well its either sidney or Drake

[swift swan]

hmm. what's your drake team?

[frosty axle]

Drake is probably worse with earthquake spam

if you can survive sidney sync and flinch or sleep genesect will end it quickly

[keen jasper]

Just bring in Darach for Sidney

[sick inlet]

Me who did not read or prepare anything while doing 2v3s and ended up with Glacia Round 4

I don't have raihan for this bs

😂

[swift swan]

oof

[sick inlet]

I think only phoebe and Steven are gonna be ontype for me 😂

[swift swan]

and on the special attack round too...

[sick inlet]

Already done it, but was a bit tough with lesser options

Steven weak to special?

Or physical?

Oh defense down
Time to Gojo

[manic mica]

I still cant do it

[sick inlet]

At which point do you find yourself struggling the most?

[manic mica]

When he do snarl

And also the sync but its ok

[sick inlet]

Well he's not gonna stop doing snarl, so you either wanna try to nuke him asap or make sure you can outlive his onslaught

[frosty axle]

You can keep trying until he doesn't snarl

some runs he doesn't do it much

[keen jasper]

This makes me kinda wanna use Burgh for Sidney

[sick inlet]

Ok Gojo really just presynced Steven on a postsync parameters 🥹
I am happy with my choices today

Finished a Sentry entry stage with physical
And wise entry with special offtype
Because you know, someone needs to be mad enough for this

I still think Hoenn has some of the most annoying conditions

Like for 2v3 atleast.

[swift swan]

idk why some people would impose so many restrictions to themselves. mad respect

[sick inlet]

I didn't mean to, but to use easier options I need 3 v 3

Which is the only restrictions I put

To do 2v3 or less

Because for an example for drake I would need a holi-leon + hail setter + support
To where I can just go crazy with SSMorty + Reshiram

[frosty axle]

Least next week looks better

besides annoying fairy haha

[sick inlet]

Fairy 🥹
Sidney always picking typings I have nothing to deal with 😭

[frosty axle]

Ye same only F2P good option is Granbull

[swift swan]

sidney in general has weird typings other than flying

gah, Rock-weak drake is annoying as hell too

[frosty axle]

well luckily drake has low health

not like Sidney

I guess Wallace is also annoying with wise entry grass

[sick inlet]

Sslyra go brrrrr

[violet timber]

Normal Kris coming in with the nuke again on water weak

[frosty axle]

Only F2P grass are special

[violet timber]

SS Erika should be able to nuke with no problems

but that’s general pool gacha

[frosty axle]

ye but not F2P

guess I could offtype

other option is poison stall which I hate doing

[violet timber]

revenge is sweet

[frosty axle]

Black Kyurem 3/5 or 1/5?

[halcyon sail]

Well, Drake did turn out as a nightmare as I predicted

Did it with Ghetsis, SS Brendan and SSB

[lunar meadow]

Wait what did Drake have that was hard?

I did Drake as the half-sync and just beat him with Crabominable

[halcyon sail]

I don't have any phys ice pairs

[lunar meadow]

Oh does he have wise entry?

[halcyon sail]

Yes

[lunar meadow]

Ya, Crabominable doesn't have time for drake. He just slams

[halcyon sail]

This week has the hardest hoenn stages imo, next ones should be easier

[frosty axle]

Yep this was harder to start

[violet timber]

2

Unfortunately

[violet timber]

Wise Entry x2

[frosty axle]

mines 1/5 I tried it but didn't work too well

[violet timber]

Couldn’t cheese with Ghetsis

[violet timber]

I mean 2/5 doesn’t give any useful grids if I remember correctly

[frosty axle]

Ghetsis thankfully froze him

[violet timber]

I just synced with SS Morty first

[dark osprey]

That accuracy +10 though

[violet timber]

I don’t think I got that grid

[frosty axle]

ye freeze shock missed in my one try so annoying

[violet timber]

oh yikes

rng issues

I’ll admit double morty was honestly overkill

[frosty axle]

one plus is that it did hit 17k in my one try

[violet timber]

after a noble roar or before

[frosty axle]

was after with supereffective buff

[violet timber]

oh

was there EX support?

[frosty axle]

nope was trying Abomasnow with it so didn't ex sync

[boreal rose]

I need help with 10k CS

[violet timber]

ash can offtype something

gladion can morph into any type

Karen could work for Phoebe

[frosty axle]

Definitely will kill phoebe with good support

[violet timber]

here are some highly unrelatable teams

just to clarify I am not a whale

[frosty axle]

doesn't look whale until I see move levels

[boreal rose]

True

EX's are hard to get but if you save (or play for long enough) they arent THAT hard to get

[violet timber]

SC Emmett, Melony and Aaron are 1/5

Is that enough proof

[frosty axle]

proof that you not one

[violet timber]

and I think SS Brendan is also 2/5

Unless I’m wrong

[frosty axle]

cool mine is forever 1/5

we can never get enough candies

[violet timber]

I think it’s better if I show

This

[austere quest]

Dang Glacia is messing up my week

Time to Offtype her

[violet timber]

Apparently if you have a lot of champion spirit it means you don’t have enough

Which I don’t

[keen jasper]

Do you have SS Giovanni?

[frosty axle]

My spirits are too high

[violet timber]

oh wait why do I have 19

[frosty axle]

and got 200 power ups lol

I should ex things

[austere quest]

Nah I was just looking at if I should use Special Mons and it said I should

[boreal rose]

So umm. Who should i use and for who?

[violet timber]

just EXed colress

for fun

never gonna use him unless I got more move levels

[frosty axle]

I don't have Colress yet maybe one day

[austere quest]

Yeah I just Offtyped her with a SpAtt Team and she died before First Sync

[dark osprey]

Is this Drake the only stage with bulkier sides

[boreal rose]

This shir sucks

[prime warren]

Bring some other physical offtype

Preferably smth fire type or water type

[violet timber]

if you have champ iris use her

[boreal rose]

Solo wont work

[violet timber]

this worked

[prime warren]

Why would you solo

Unless it's smth meme like Ash

Ciris can't even buff her own crit fully

[boreal rose]

Ask Sgt

If i was able to make teams myself i wouldnt ask for help

[prime warren]

You have maxie

Why are you not using him

You could tear the stage with Maxie, SSerika, tank

[boreal rose]

Why Maxue

[prime warren]

He's physical

Sets weather to cripple drake

And he's in your fucking box

Why are you bothering with shit like candice and ghetsis when your offtype options are far stronger

And Maxie is just one of the options
You have SSmorty, mayziken
Like several options

[boreal rose]

Cuz as i said

I cant make teams

I suck at it

[frosty axle]

I would suggest watching Champion Stadium runs more

[boreal rose]

As if that would help

[prime warren]

Coz it would?

[wary plume]

damn bro

[prime warren]

Why wouldnt it

Unless you have reading issue

[boreal rose]

I do
