Neither of them benefit from R3
damn
R2 is... what exactly?
stat lowering is buffed
Debuffs have stronger effect
Palentines sweep or Drake getting debuffed?
hmm...
Probably Sidney unless you have classic blue
if I were to go with Palentines sweep for R2, then I would have to somehow fit in a ghost type for the Drake team...
Drake will constantly debuff your speed assuming he attacks you
The only one who practically counter that is Sonia
Ingo too as long your in sandstorm
Ingo buffs speed
so it should be fine yeah?
also my SC Hilda can either Impervious or jsut go full damage
not to mention, Bertha drops ATK and 2 other stats i dont remember
so i guess how long i can run 4 sandstorms worth of punching hehehe
so i guess
R1 VS Phoebe - 2 Rodents and a Corgi
R2 VS Sidney - Palentines Serena
R3 VS Drake - SC Hilda
R4 VS Glacia - SS Hilda
Does Hop have Vigilance, at least? That might help. Did you get potion MPRs too?
hrrrmmm...okay, I think I ran into a problem
...I don't have a good Spec. Atk Rock type striker sync pair
Why does it matter? You can use any damage dealers against Drake
hmm...
Pretty sure the only sp attack rock striker is Hyper Beam Classic Blue anyway
oof
Well, that answers my question
dont forget Roxanne

Roxanne is Support, though
she's more of a tank than a nuker
hmm...actually
...should I pick the ghost type tank for R3 Drake or R4 Glacia?
if it's the latter, then I'd be able to have Roxanne in the team alongside two Rock-type strikers (Olivia and SS Brock)
Lovely
I used Leaf for the MF bonus
Ash can still deal over 80k damage against Phoebe even with max HP, strength and defense parameters
holy fuck those sides were so annoying for 850pt wallace
had to make erika target sides while brendan took down mid
and still it was close
Hoenn is annoying in general
Mine is too easy with Lyranium, SS Erika and Mallow
I used SCLillie/Lyra/SSErika (3/5) for 2k.
Wallace's Hydro Pump is no joke tho
Mallow is a queen in that stage.
eee all my 5 stars r 1/5 except for may, skyla, ss elesa and thts it
😔
hydro pump is less annoying than the surfs
ngl
You have to pull more.
That's the only way.
Then save for halfanni
waiting for amphy and then whenever faves come back
might go anni n or steven depending on if january is wack or not
oh yeah, I think people missed this question
I had my big Powerboost after third Annie where I pulled for 5 characters with enough gems to pity all of them.
Oh yeah, H. Jasmine is a tank with SEUN
Maybe she can help SS Wally damage cap max HP, strength and defense parameter Sidney
thankfully even with no stat reductions mina is a decent fairy dps
It's a tank. Glacia is special while drake is physical. What is your tank mostly used for?
she's carried me in fairy weak stages in cs this past month
thank god
I couldn't make Mina work. 20k sync with 2x sync buff and -6 att. Didn't kill...
2kmm?
Yes
...well, for tanking...
eee
i did tht and wallace at 850
might go higher for tht stage cuz it wasnt too bad
but im not going past 850 for wallace
thtll be pain

ancient power DPS go brrr
Physical or special side. Def/spdef up or more aggressive with speed/crit/att/spa or more utility with heal and other effects?
I mean, it depends on the opponent, really
since Drake is going physical, I want a physical tank
and since Glacia is going special, I want a special tank
now here's the thing: Roxanne is both a special AND a physical tank
Roxanne then. But you'll have to use a special nuker. Or Phoebe for physical.
Drake does mostly physical, but there are some that can deal special too
anyone getting a grid expansion/power boost this month aside from ssleaf/marnie?
I don't have a special nuker for R3 period
none of my Rock-type nukers are special
they are all physical
u can offtype
Can your rock types max out their att and crit in 3-4 turns?
Joly crap he actually a flinch lmao
SC Hilda can +3 Crit and Speed herself.
she also gets Towering Force and Inertia
wait not inertia
SS Brock? Nope
Olivia? Yes, but at the cost of debuffing her defense
Only Blue/Aerodactyl is the only unit that has a special rock move
Besides, like I said, you can use any type of damage dealer you want against Drake
too bad I don't have that
Use Roxanne/Olivia/sand setter. Roxanne will back up def/speed and wide guard. Olivia will do the rest while you have a secondary sand setter with other utility boosts.
Olivia only debuffs her Sp. Def.
special defense, I'm sure. and you don't need to worry about that. drake's stage is fully physical
ah, whoops, I misread
She can take care of that too with trainer node.
there's fantina. also 3 lower gachas: Surge, Agatha, Janine
I need to check Agatha's boost.
i remember hearing blaine was getting something, did i misread? ;00
Yes
I mean, Blaine's not getting any grid expansion yet
Olivia's sync is powered up under sand. it's in her grid
and we recommend nuke Olivia over DPS Olivia
To activate more multipliers for Olivia. Under sand she can easily off type too.
she's a much better nuker anyway
he needs a grid period 😔 tired of putting a sun setter tht doesnt do much outside of tht + trap and the occasional burn
oh, it's grid stuff
id put ss erika but i usually pair her w brendan for future stages
well, ss erika is always an option
^
😔
Use shiny Ninetales then.
How many do you have right now?
Did you do the daily orb arena and did you get the sync orbs from the events?
54 yellow Sync Orbs
I did
You have 5.4k + 2k = 7.4k orbs. If you can get another 100 through events or dating simulator thingy you can grid her. Do either 4.2k or 7.5k goal to get the 2k orbs from MM rewards and then redo for 10k.
nonono
I don't have 5.4k orbs
I have
literally 54 orbs
I really am THAT broke when it comes to yellow orbs
Nice 15k sync move hehe
You have 6 days left this week. 5.4k orbs (900 per day). +2k from MM (up until 7.5k points iirc) equals 7.4k. You need only 100 more. If you farm the dating simulator thingy daily you might find some orbs through the chests.
well you can always wait until you can get more sync orbs then. you have a week for CS anyway
no rush doing it day 1
you can also exchange lodge stones for sync orbs as a last resort
and have you done the monthly shop exchange? you can buy sync orbs from the shop monthly
No. Either use them for 150 pass or move levels.
they cant get the sync orbs from MM without clearing it tho, which is what theyre having trouble with rn no?
plus event shops give us sync orbs as well
Since you have an unlimited amount of them.
WHOA WHOA WHOA
they can just do 0 points on drake and get more points on the rest
700 damage glacia?!
For 2k. Not 1.5k. It's a lot easier.
then redo for 10k
She crits hard wtf?
ah i see
Yep. Hail or not she can 2 shit everything.
glacia does have high offensive stats this week
i had sun up
Exactly, it doesn't matter what is up.
still. this is her stats at base
Even at -6 with only +8 str she would hit for 500+k with 1 sync buff.
I'm waiting for Eevee's f2p guide. It's always fun to watch them.
eevee let me know if you can ontype sidney f2p 
I gave up on Mina
31k post-support EX sync, with SEUP next. Sidney lived with a sliver of HP and got to sync
bruh Glacia two shot SSHilda and Bluedog in 2 Blizzard
I don't have MM unlocked yet
wtf
reset until she doesn't use blizzard 
There we go
hard mode shudnt be bad
that's our only hope
oh, you have no idea
after 12 resets she doesnt use blizzard twice in the whole match anymore 
hmm...well, without sync grid skills, Olivia won't benefit from Sand Storm anyway, so...uh...
Roxanne/Olivia/???
Just battle. No boost it's the easiest. Hard mode doesn't really need that much thought. What type are you missing?
...should the last slot be SS Brock or a ghost type sync pair for the type medal?
Yummy xD
Forget about the combo. Tell us what type do you miss and send an ss with your units. We have to fill those first.
why would you need SS Brock
she still doesnt die wtf
Bug, Ground and Ghost, though I already have Ash teamed up with Aaron and Nita for the first two
you don't have to strictly ontype yknow
Nice. So you only miss ghost.
ghost type it is, then
ghost then. acerola flinchhax saved my ass this week
How many battles have you completed?
Fully buffed stats with what i had, for SS Hilda's attack
33k
and she doesnt die lma
my mistake was actually putting her to +6 Level
+3 and defensive options was prolly better
Why would they. 30k is the bare minimum for Hoenn. Why would they have normal stats.
Yo wtf this is the first time my SSWally is struggling on a fairy weak stage
I tried with Sycamore and roxie
Skyla and roxie
Sidney is so tanky
I had to put grad healing with post sync
Welcome to Hoenn. A place where we have absurdly high stats from no apparent reason.
Vs everyone

so i need to sync with meganium AFTER his
Sinnoh is hard and challenging. Hoenn is annoying and frustrating.
still on round 1?
Yes
I always say both are hard in their own ways
hmmm. I would recommend Olivia/Acerola/Hop and fish for flinchhax
if you know the flinch timing and move pattern of the opponents, they can barely get a move in
Before the enemy sync, the pattern goes mid, right, mid, left, repeat
after that I don't know, I almost never postsync and when I do, the sides are dead long before then
so if you can flinch them when they're queueing a move, this can greatly clutch you a win, especially since your Olivia isn't EX'd
Took a bit of thinking but did my F2P run
hi November
I'm waiting for the video.
I preached Mina for Fairy-weak Cynthia last month but vs Sidney... I just couldn't do it. my damage was so close to OHKOing Sidney post-support sync but since the devs decided Sidney should have oh-so-bulky HP, I couldn't oneshot
Done ooof
Just use her with sycamore and hop what I did last time
I did SSBlue/Mina/Sycamore. Sycamore had to stall the sides.
normally for fairy-weak (except Cynthia) I use Sycamore/Lisia/SS Lyra but it's basically SS Lyra carrying the battle on her onion fairy's back 
Problem with Cynthia is that it needs sp.atk debuff not attack mostly
SSLyra is the No 1 princess.
Ss lyra the goat
Is exes required a must for 1.5k?
Depends on the unit. Supports are always welcome.
not really
not at all
for 2k I would say ex is probably helpful

she sure does. Lyra probably missed the memo and forgot to bring her sygna suit to the battle
just a case of not being used to the new params, I feel
you can probably give this a try
Was fun using both Lyra together
Yeah
I know I did a non-EX Olivia clear vs rock-weak Flint way back when it first came out and Acerola flinches saved my ass
in general I think you should be fine. Drake has low offenses to begin with and no inflated HP
his only important gimmick is debuffing speed
and it's not like he has multipliers based on speed debuffs either
What’s the odds of her flinch?
flinch and sleep are really easy ways to win with weak teams
30% at base. 60% with aggravation on grid. practically guaranteed if you do it round 1
waiting for Kalos CS where the opponents have pecking order, devastation, cakewalk, brainteaser, etc 
like rock-weak drake's passive is the perfect set-up for cakewalk/hunter's instinct but luckily he doesn't have that
Do I need dupes for her
ye acerola base form does it for 120 orbs
you literally only need two tiles: Astonish: Aggravation 1 and Sandstorm MP Refresh, both at 1/5
she's a story unit and a 5* tech even. no one's candying her unless she's a huge fave 
I would candy her if she got a very good expanded nuke grid
I wouldn't because I'm comfortable with ghost types as it is 
Just want to do it for a physical ghost for F2P
personally wouldn't call needing two tech candies f2p-friendly
it takes quite a lot of investment
I wouldn't use it in my F2P run it's to do other fun runs haha
So just astonish mid stone edge mid, astonish right stone edge right?
Flinch both sides when you're about to nuke Drake with Olivia
quick question: is regular Leaf as a tank both good and expendable?
because if I would use her for R4 against Glacia, I'd be able to use a better tank for R5 against Wallace
she's a decent tank
olivia can keep attacking mid most of the time
thanks
if you're bringing Hop as the tank, you don't need to use x def on acerola
Acerola's flinches should follow the enemy's move pattern: mid, right, mid, left, repeat
note that the enemy may switch to using a trainer move when they're flinched, but it's fine as long as you don't take damage
...okay, for R5, do I want to include permanent field effects or nah?
Just change the weather
I killed mid but sides got me
that's why I am asking: include the R4 affect to R5 or nah?
since that's exactly what my idea was: replace Wallace's rain with Blaine's sun
Well yeah R4 param is the best one
Yo trini have you unlocked mm
Wallace doesn't replace the rain before syncing, but I think he immediately makes it rain when Wallace syncs
...and of course, Blaine is literally unable to to MP refresh...
and I already used up SS Erika
how much was Olivia's nuke?
we can try another strategy if that's the case
9k maybe
u only need 2 suns for tht stage
9k ish
if ur talking abt wallace
Crit or not crit?
hmmm try to make a time window for acerola to use sandstorm, at least
this was 1st sync or 2nd sync?
2nd!
how much was 1st sync?
this is drake's stats when I put in the 1.5k presync parameters. with two syncs under sand, I think Olivia should be able to kill drake just with nuke alone. so she can freely stone edge the sides
you can probably do a few stone edges on drake, but focus on sides for the DPS, if they're giving you trouble
I dont see sand up?
I ran sandless grid and started trying to flinch on t1
My trauma must have suppressed the memory of this Glacia, but this stage is awful
same, but I can't say much because my team is overkill incarnate
only had trouble vs sidney this week
😮
that's fine, as long as you put up sandstorm before olivia's sync
Well all I can say is free Blue Arcanine is amazing and so is Hooh as an alternative
she really appreciates the multipliers
So should I do post or presync?
Now it's time for the rough part
congrats!
Gz
Congrats
oof
Now the real fun begins
at least I'll be smarter this time and use Blaine for R4 Glacia instead of Wallace
yeah, that was my plan
I think with Hop there, both options are safe. he's tanky enough to presync, but also likes postsync for extra damage from behemoth bash
it sure is fun when Wallace opens with hydro pump and somehow crits
oof
Nope seemed to do lesser with sand
now the question is: should I use 50 of those 185
for self-indulging EX-ing or should I use it to instead EX someone I'd need to beat one of the #1009557516369281075 I haven't beaten yet?
did you take the sand buffs?
is that at 3/5?
4/5
then you should hit a lot harder
because I am still struggling with EBE Alder Part 2 and the optional missions for the Battle Challenge 2 of the second Johto Rocket event
Skill issue
Just flinch him ez
the only skill issue I will admit this week is not being able to 2k presync with Mina
even with Red as a partner
sigh
if I were to do the latter, then I'd only be able to do the EX-ing for EBE Alder Part 2 since Kris doesn't even have 20
fed
...neither does Karen, but at least she has 3
fed instead of the 0 that Kris has
who are you planning to EX for the EBE? We don't really recommend EX'ing someone just to clear a stage, especially when you're still low on EX resources
Hmm tried again, still 1st sync 5k
I mean, I was able to vs Cynthia. It's just that Sidney chose to be extremely bulky
the best I got was 31k post-support EX sync with SEUP next
well, the team I am currently using for EBE Alder Part 2 is Piers/Karen/Sycamore
with sand?
Yes
can you show the grid
Funny how it's always the E4 who are more difficult than the champs itself
pretty sure this team is doable without Karen EX. there's one on the pins
looks good already 
and yet I just can't win with that team, no matter what
...then again, the problem with Karen is not the lack of an EX, but the lack of a Vigilance skill
you'll probably appreciate CS2 instead for better damage. random crits on AOE moves are rare
and I fresh ran out of the blue lucky cookies trying to get Vigilance
Oh I’ll be honest, none of my pairs have lucky skill
I’m not ready to throw cookies and not get the one I want 
I still remember my very first MM clear, 7.9k on the Sinnoh CS
Just farm LG Entei is a punching bag lmao
for you, maybe
but I get clapped by Entei
the current legendary gauntlet is perfect for farming cookies
Entei is a punching bag with your usual water team
my first MM clear was also on the Sinnoh CS
Godspeed to people who start with Sinnoh and Hoenn. I can't imagine the pain
Ye tornadus is the only one with a gimmick but even then it's an easy to bypass gimmick
The self cleanse is annoying tho
I forgot what my first MM clear was... but my first 10k was Kanto
followed immediately by 10k'ing Sinnoh when it first came out because I was super stubborn and wanted to continue my 10k streak
Johto was my first CSMM, and i remember doing it without knowing the existence of the presync/post sync/stall points guide
So i just made my own and struggled through it 
...usual water team...you mean SS Misty/Kris/SS Blue or what?
(please don't say I have to use Barry)
so...this team? or should I replace Kris with, like, Archie or something?
(last time I tried LG Entei was when LG Entei was first introduced, and Kris was...literally my ONLY good water type sync pair)
I think that team is perfectly capable of it
same lmao
no wonder I was having trouble with parameters when I kept taking -2 sync move countdown 
higher
How much higher?
1.5k! unless there's smth inbetween?
Send your roster. I'll provide a secondary (not that good) opinion.
it's alright, all opinions appreciated 
I just wish aurochs or dreamy would come in here and pin my summary cause I'm tired of looking lol
they still haven't?
the ones on pins right now are last week's
do mms normally require tons of resets T^T
I saw Dreamy yesterday so surprised they didn't see it
it depends on the teams
Depends but for me yes
to be fair I didn't tag any mod
Until I realise what the issue is
for me MM doesn't need much resets
since I know dreamy's been sick
yep but he's better now
I'm pretty stubborn and always do 2k hyper offensive params, so my resets usually happen because the enemy opens with a hard-hitting move and one-shots my tank 
I always go post and finish before sync haha
only time I don't is F2P (F2P usually finishes after enemy sync)
Post sync on difficult CS.
i'll go make a post and share it here
wait, which one, SS Misty/Kris/SS Blue or SS Misty/Archie/SS Blue?
least my week 2 F2P run is finishing processing on my video editor
Second. The first doesn't have rain. Unless you're against a wise entry x2 stage.
I...don't think I even have Wise Entry x2?
Not you. The opponent.
Wallace has it
Ex Wallace this week has it as one of his passives.
...oh...but I was talking about LG Entei
1st wrong channel. 2nd both work
Sidney took me a shit ton of resets and almost 1 hour to clear because I wanted to ontype
Mina could barely cut it. Gladion.... yeah no
pls dena, I'm begging
gladion powerboost
I mean, I only talked here because I was technically responding to Kazu
if u've got sonia EX, maybe mina, sycamore & sonia EX should be able to make it possible
yeah I was trying Mina as the main damage dealer and it was painful
the best I got was 31k post-support EX sync with SEUP next
that's good right. so got rid of the centre
it'd be great if I could actually got rid of the center 
Sidney lived with a sliver of HP and got to sync
I don't remember if I grab -2 sync countdown but I do distinctly remember grabbing the +1/+3 atk/spatk/def/spdef and HP points 
So... I just put Redchu vs Sidney cause I have no answers for him 2v3 
Anything with no solution:
slap redchu on the stage
Olivia failed to crit both of the sides with her Sync and then proceeded to by flinch-locked by Dragonite’s Rock Slide when I fought Drake
Fortunately Stealth Rock was up
okie managed to 1.5k phoebe and drake, 1.45k sydney
trying silver, blaine and hilbert on glacia but losing, should i bother with supp ex sync?
Glacia hits too hard?
yupp
they all hit hard tbh
my fire nuke 1st sync can kill both sides and half froslass
but by then one icy wind can kill
that would help
I think that's a case of luck when Glacia spams too much blizzard
what else can she use?
Week 2 F2P run is up now #1049327702886318110 message
her 3 moves are blizzard, icy wind, and draining kiss
silver cant survive 2nd aoe

Have you tried using someone with sleep or flinch?
hilbert has flinch
4
i sun t1 too
what support you using Kirby?
hilbert and blaine
You're using SF/CS2 silver build yeah?
oh yeah. does silver have a lucky skill at all?
ah nope, spamming sacred fire
only for a turn, they died shortly after
ah
that's still fine
yeah that's the thing with Hilbert... really fast buffer but frail
needs some very good luck to make him live
how about trying Lyra instead and use Light Screen
though she's even squishier than Hilbert 
were the guides for this week (the ones usually in pins) already made
you want something for potions and special defense
yep, give me a moment to fetch it
gotta she who's physical and who's special before goin in
ty
No mods to pin it 
@sinful garden
thanks
round params
AYOO
👀
Did you do it???
niceee, congrats

and I was about to reset my CS to test it for you too
i think i crit him this time 
I can imagine it being rough. Hilbert is pretty squishy and glacia hits so damn hard
3/4 of mid health went down
I was gonna do the same lol
they went bonkers with his grid expansion
Solar flare 14 😳
is wallace special?
if only he had dauntless on gri- gets shot
yes, wallace is fully special
which is why Sycamore is a beast there
maxes special defense on sync, unkillable with horn leech spam
change the weather with ss erika, bring a crit buffer as your third unit, and you're fine
think i can 1550 him to make up for my prev 1450?
What’s the Wallace team
Oh you can definitely 2k him
My SS Erika did 51k with SEUN under sun and with EX support
Pick perma field and watch as he never goes near grass again
OFC, Wallace mainly specializes in water-types
my SS Erika is 2/5 
sycamore as 1st target?
Do you have an EX supporter?
sabrina?
sync with her first?
if she's not EX'd, no need
just sync with Sycamore
then the rest goes to SS Erika
sabrina is just there for crit buffs (make sure she has the critical squad on grid to max crit)
SS Erika already maxes out her own stats
also sabrina can heal too I guess
ah currently using normal lyra
And also grant speed through Pep Rally
EX-ed or not?
no 😦
Wait, is your SS Erika 3/5?
1/5 only
that also works. with extra light screen to boot
still fine
Do you have any grass DDs that are 3/5?
ooooh that already sounds so fun. Permanent MGA from sycamore, permanent sun from SS Erika, permanent light screen from Lyra
good luck to wallace if he wants to make a dent
Hydro pump opener?
only dawn
it wasnt an opener haah
probably hydro pump
was that before his 1st sync?
and what's the third unit you eventually used
also remember to use sun turn 1. hydro pump hits so damn hard
sounds good already. you took the perma field effects param right
make sure Sycamore has his Horn Leech grid too. literally watch him recover from red health to full HP if horn leech crits and has master healer
good luck! you got this
I'll be here writing my uni essay while occasionally checking in to procrastinate as moral support
those spirits look tempting
are we really at the point where new players get more
than

those spirits literally never tempt me. I have 800 of them and I get them faster than I can ever spend them
gotta love Sycamore literally being at full HP there 
once I discovered horn leech sycamore, I just never went back
I never use any other sycamore haha
currently have 161
, 305
, 541
, so ig no?
that's really good
Soon the Sycamore solo?
maybe
Oh hi aurochs
While you're here
please
Round params
Yeah I've been busy
Cleared last week last minute
Decided to just go nuts and used Ashchu and Archie
Ah the can’t stop won’t stop team lol
I was preaching her for the entirety of fairy-weak Sinnoh
But Sidney just... Chose to be very bulky
Hoenn is too bulky
31k post-support EX sync with SEUP next. That was my best with her (no zone)
I was in awe of how little damage my Alder did last week
damn glacia having sync regen
@swift swan
...well damn
Ok but that was R1 wasn't it
Flinch cheese
At least now I don't feel insecure over my Mina's nuke damage anymore 
That seems like a lot of work for something that could be off typed 
It sure is
Lot of work? A first try win?
Sometimes you just want to ontype for your own self-satisfaction and it costs you your sanity
Why does he not take damage even after lowering everything
Replace with Elio on another round
Guess I can't do it the conventional way without any cheeses huh 
Well I've seen eevee's clear with Mina
You could with a speed buffer and a quadqueue.
I just went with flinch instead because it was a proof of concept
Mina 3 bar strong
I did manage to quadqueue and all. But went with support EX sync instead of two Mina syncs 
Sydney lived that?

I mean, 29k is at base
probably parameters maybe
And I had some strength params to complete my 2k
300*
Let me see sidney's final HP with my params
3600 extra health at max
Wallace and Glacia were kind of a problem for me, both like spamming strong aoe moves
Aoe is a nightmare
so 28960 plus 3600
Well damn
Sounds like you weren't getting in some play roughs?
32560
Params used
yes still to count +1 defense I use
I could get in quite a few
even if you do get Sidney down the sides heat waves are annoying
Nov appears to have solved this with Zerena

Also I can't believe you accused me of flinchax when you used SS Lyra
Even the zerena team took 2 tries because I couldn't quadqueue (don't have brendan's adrenaline grid). So i had to deny a side
VS Wallace though! And she was tanking 
What did SS Erika do to you anyway?
Only one that can get an EX there that you were all naaah
Is TB Red good for Sidney?
Just checking, no-one to avoid for Round 4?
Do to you, not for you
What move level?
Well... glacia maybe if you for some weird reason don't wanna change the weather?
Oh, she's 2/5 and I just don't sync with her 
Eh if it's only on entry that's fine. I was just burned last week when three of them used weather
I'll admit, last time we had Fairy-weak Sidney, I cheesed it with this team. SS Lyra carried this whole battle on her onion fairy's back
Nononono pls aurochs even without the hail, glacia is a menace
Does ice face block flinch/sleep?
Pull annilili for even more moonblast
If this bothers you, check my clear for last week
literally could've been a full EX run if I had EXd SS Erika
good question
I suppose not sleep? It's not a physical move
But idk about flinch. Guess it can take 0 damage and still be flinched? Hypothetically
So Glacia round 1 then?
If you want to flinchlock Glacia, by all means please do
She hits so hard for no reason
So it's better if she doesn't hit at all
Just wondering if she is the hardest. Additional effects is powerful.
Bulky HP and high attack is just rude tbh.
Pick one.
Urgh just saw she sets hail on sync too???
She'll be like this on the fourth week too
Glacia r4 smile
I'd reaaally change the weather
Set up sun and watch her melt
Probably going to try flinch that second hail, if it's a move
This is anti-Silverism
Which... i suppose affects the healing hail? Idk
Yea it's a move
oh wait. master healer just applies to healing moves
so... draining kiss
lol it doesn't matter much
it's not a move so I don't think it counts. master fair specifically states "healing moves"
Any team suggestions for 10k points
You have some units that can easily fell 10k MM
Silver, Ash, SS Steven, Cerena can all carry their separate teams
For fairy weak
also please screenshot from the move level menu next time
You could even off type if needed
https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/ better yet, use this
Sync Pairs Tracker for Pokémon Masters EX
Ash for Phoebe, Victor for Wallace, Silver/SS Hilda/SS May for Glacia and the rest of the E4 can be off-typed
I will do one with ss Steven but whom should I use as second one
SS Steven just wants a tank and psychic terrain user
You've got CSerena as well right
Yes 2/5
Maybe her along with May and a good support could offtype as well
Can try her dark mode as well for offtyping
With Nessa probably
I am not able to defeat glacia
Only one icy wind is enough to knockout....
What's your team?
Are you getting rid of hail?
I used ss Hilda and Blaine for sunny weather and skyla
This was my team
For round 4
That's your problem
You don't have a Sp. Def. buffer
Brendan
Sure
Been trying SS Hilda on Glacia and oh boy is that not great
Going to have to try something else because she keeps dying before Sync 1 which is very funny
you mean your team's first sync?
she's a good option vs Glacia... glacia just hits too damn hard
Does Sidney gain something at half health that makes him super tanky or something?
Doesn't
My SSWally sync did more damage the first time than after the rebuff the second time
What parameter do you guys choose when you can't give up stat reduction and status fx
Did both of those syncs crit?
Because he'd definitely deal more damage because of the rebuff and those extra stats
How do you check that
All I know is the sound effect
Were they both under fairy zone
Oh yeah, and that too
Yeah i forgot to zone before the second sync righttt
Ah no wonder, he lost the innate boost from the sync and the innate boost from the zone
I tried using gradual healing at start parameter it was not happening now I'm trying with reduced ally hp
Glacia was the hardest out of everyone today
Drake, I had to offtype because I wasn’t able to survive First Sync with my SC Hilda team
Managed to kill him before he sync’d offtype
Not sure if that’s an issue on my reliance on offtyping
If it works, then it works
I've added all week 2 videos now #1049327702886318110 message
Neither
well fuck
Both of them are fully special
If its just those two left phoebe tbh
Hope for paralysis procs
Not if you have a sun setter
It's fine replace it with perma sun
Before you sync with your nuker, make sure to change the weather to sunny
Because you know, Glacia uses Hail before she syncs
Eiscue is only protected from 1 physical attack
Sun first turn and then sun right after hail
Then all you have to do is survive normal Glacia 
Silver will melt her to death
Definitely perma field effects
Most grass-types benefit from sun
Also hydro pump and surf are powerful under weather.
Fair
surf deffo became 100+ damage per hit after 2 syncs
Who is a good tank to pair with Diantha and SS Wally for Round 2 Sidney?
Eevee worked
I cant believe full support team worked
Is it possible to win like this?
Sycamore can solo this stage (probably)
No
Just sync with Gloria what could go wrong
Hype
Does her sync deal more than PalSeren?
Absolutely not
PSerena delt 16K critless so I don’t think gloria is beating that lel
Relying on a. 10% Atk drop
Maybe with sync params I can lel
For an optimization run would it be considered cheating to change my tactics 
No? I change my tactics during my optimize runs
No one’s looking over my shoulder and telling me I’m wrong
B-but the game says “this” is the best strategy! /jk
Life is a lot nicer when you realize there ain’t someone whispering over your shoulder how wrong you are
At least online and mostly irl
Those are actually really good words to live by.
It could happen sometimes irl like literally. But at that point I would just smack the other person away tbh
Anyways this is CS chat. I will do my run later
Phoebe is officially grinding my gears, I’ve missed thunder twice in a row with accuracy up by two stages.
With Eggchu?
SS Elesa
Eggchu has piercing gaze
So accuracy isn't an issue
Well assuming people are using the 3 passives eggmons
A little surprised, but I got 2k Drake in two turns.
WHAT???
Okay, something went weird.
After the fight, it said I've reached 1800 points, but it does say 2000 in the menu.
Anyway, did it with Ingo, Emmet and Classic Blue, no EXes.
You did 2k points, but there isnt any reward at 2k, so it displayed the reward at 1k8 instead
I see, I was worried I did something wrong with the parameters.
Does glacia have any accuracy buffs
Ok thanks 👍
good morning CS chat, I made this on a whim
Glacia is a crit buffer now
slight improvement but still
Glacia has no power over a Round 1 Whitney
Whitney is an E4 
I guess that's a safe way of handling glacia. flinch her whenever she wants to do blizzard/icy wind
And flinch her when she's about to do Hail?
yeah, if you can
man I don't think I can do MM yet
it's alright, everyone has their own pace
the bare minimum to get all the good rewards is 4.2k but you can always try with lower points first
But when you're beginning, you can go as high as you can right?
Like me when I started my very first MM, I immediately jumped to 7.9k pts.
I joined during the 1st anni, but only began doing CS since Johto
When was Johto
Jan 2020 iirc
sure, but the difficulty jump can be daunting for some people
I started in 2nd anni and after doing 4.2k points, I just raised my points a couple hundred every week
only started doing 10k in April
the difficulty jump scared me lol
I started in April 1 this year
I remember doing 3 stall teams
my first 10k was Kanto, and then I immediately 10k'd Sinnoh out of stubbornness because I didn't want to lose my 10k streak lmao
been doing 10k since then
I think my first and only time that I used poison stall was against Cynthia
I stalled quite a lot of stages
Me too
I think my main reason I held off doing 10k for so long was I didn't know the right parameters
I still remember when i struggled with bug weak Karen even with stall
I discovered presync parameters, tweaked it a bit, and been using hyper offensive params for 10k since then
someone save me from this addictive hellhole lmao
I usually do strength 6 parameters with a bit atk param
I sometimes switch from Strength 6 to HP 6
I rarely pick HP 6 unless i want to play techs
But not in Sinnoh and Hoenn CS
They are so bulky
sometimes I wish I had picked HP 6 because the battle ended too quickly
last week Kris was doing 13k per mega kick and I couldn't even see her nuke
DPS is underrated
When I usually test a unit's full potential, I always go with max HP, defense and strength parameters
huh
I imagine you'd want no defensive buffs at all so you can see the biggest numbers
That's kinda pointless because they're gonna mostly damage cap either way
fair
Like when I did water-weak Steven with 3/5 Cerena, she still damage capped Steven at max HP, strength and defense parameters even with -1 water rebuff
The frog is crazy op
that's what we say to almost all recent techs
this fire chicken is crazy OP. this V-looking gremlin is very OP. this frog is very OP. this rat is very OP.
And Cerena did 22k against dark-weak Phoebe, did not crit and without dark zone with max HP, strength and defense paramters
So Cerena can also damage cap any dark-weak stage even with max HP, strength and defense parameters assuming it doesn't have SE x2
Im thinking of candying Cerena to 3/5 next, but i like Anni May more and there are SC Rosa and SSTRed needing candies
She can also potentially damage cap off-type, but that is without defensive parameters
Also, does the R1 parameter work with innate passives and not grid passives?
It only works with secondary effect of moves
I think it works like a hostile environment. It shouldn't work on staggering right?
Ahh too bad, I was hoping for 60% AoE flinch with Cerena
Like it boosts the chance of flinch of Thunder Fang, but it doesnt work on Aggravation 4 in Volkner's case

Too op smh
SS Lyra 2.0 
But it feels like it does
I never missed a single flinch.
It does because it boosts the innate flinch chance
Ooooh. I see.
It makes him 100% chance to flinch
20x5 is 100
10 (base) * 5 (HE4) * 2 (Round parameter)
I see I see. That makes a lot of sense.
in other news. Roxxane is a better striker than grant
Innate Surging Sand 5 win 
You’re saying I should’ve Roxanned Drake?
Man I really wished that extra effect parameter could work on passives
I really would love 60% AoE flinch chance with Cerena, that way people will question why they spent on SS Lyra 
Do it.
I keep getting really close
I will build ss brock one day.
Why did DeNA give Roxanne such horrible HP stat?
I can kill mid with roxxane. I just can’t kill the sides.
She will be op with 789 HP
If her HP was higher, then she would've been even better
They could have at least given her the quick fix for that with first aid
And synchro healing would have been nice with an EX
Oh yeah. Erika EX was weird
Dena feared that people will ex Roxanne and wont pull for any future special supports
Ah yes, because supports like Sycamore and Hop don't exist
Nah, I'd rather have more HP on Roxanne than EX her
Getting to EX adds HP
I mean, her base HP is horrendous even at 5*
How will she get 789 Hp lel
powerboost 
Roxanne has such a good kit
She already has pretty good defenses
And a good buffing kit
Just imagine if they have her critical squad she’d buff everything
I don't mind her not buffing crit. I wish she could take a bit more hits though
I’ll take grid expansion with health buffs and sync healing
Needs more HP
Moar HP I say
What h was hoping for Roxanne grid was basically what Aaron got
Stat share ancient power
But stat share didn’t exist yet
But Roxanne had an amazing kit for a launch unit
Her grid gave her pretty much everything and more
I used her for spdef this week. Is very funny.
she's one of the rare supports who give sp attack and defense buffs
Rock DPS??? 
Spatk and speed buff in a support is kinda rare too
I can only think of her and Sabrina and Sabrina does it via grid
They dont have EX yet
Who's a mega support unit that can buff Sp. Atk. and crit?
Sycamore Ex would be so helpful for optimized fairy
Brendan
SS Brendan
Sabrina
And SS Blue
Glacia
And Sabrina's literally the only one I have, oh well...
Kiawe too, also Elio with 3/5 grid. There are still more
Amphy jasmine at 3/5
SS Blue is far too slow
Mesprit is kinda Roxanne
Those units are so slow lel
It’s grid also gives ramped up iirc
Mesprit is a really good kit
