Champion Stadium

[undone ether]

i just need to use a move after sync

[trail smelt]

I prefer using Sidney than TMR in that team

[undone ether]

Finally....

R2 is anyone?

Anyone? o.o

[keen jasper]

I would've saved that for R4

Oh wait NVM

I thought it was Glacia

[undone ether]

Yeah drake xd

[keen jasper]

I did R2 with Sidney

[undone ether]

Now what

Ok

[keen jasper]

I wonder what's your team for Sidney

[spring fable]

Lesgo! 7.5k done!

[undone ether]

This one o.o

These are my flying mmhmm

[keen jasper]

Blue ain't bad tho

Tho I did have SS Ethan

[old orchid]

well you can use Zinnia

Unless you are doing mono type challenge

[keen jasper]

Well, I mono-ed Sidney

Skyla, SS Ethan and Winona

[undone ether]

Zinnia? Wut

[keen jasper]

Dragon Ascent

[full mesa]

If you can max her crit and keep her alive, she can do it post sync.

[old orchid]

she is frail so keeping her alive post sync is nearly impossible

cuz Sidney hits hard

try to pre sync him

[keen jasper]

Or just use other options

[old orchid]

i can see Falkner / Anni Steven / Lysandre working pretty well

[undone ether]

Yep hits too hard hmmm

If u miss, u basically power him up wtf

[keen jasper]

Like fighting-weak Cynthia

[undone ether]

Okay way too hard lmao

[undone ether]

Orz

R3 phoebe hum

[undone ether]

Done r4 glacia

[formal vigil]

[undone ether]

Done...

[hidden ore]

What’s the preferred order for this week?

[undone ether]

Both sides died oof

[toxic cobalt]

Your strongest matchup round 4

[swift swan]

Nice job!

[swift swan]

my round 4 was Drake and I just used Ghetsis

[toxic cobalt]

As I said, your strongest matchup

[undone ether]

I had to use an omni candy

[swift swan]

And then the man refused to crit two out of three of his syncs

[tardy belfry]

hi, is there a place where I can check the CS special parameters and tips/strategies for next week? or is it not released yet?

[keen jasper]

The weakness is known, the round parameters are unknown

[tardy belfry]

alright sure thanks for the clarification

[hidden ore]

Might use Tbolt Red as last

Can I kill Glacia with Fire?

So I want to use Hala for Drake r1

[keen jasper]

Glacia has 17k HP, what do you have to worry about?

[spring fable]

Aww I got praised by Nov

[molten nimbus]

is it just me or phoebe is holy hell tanky

even for karen

[full mesa]

Both Phoebe and Sidney have too much hp.

[swift swan]

Yup, Phoebe's 29k base HP is a menace

[zealous karma]

Wow that’s a hard hitting sync

Had to Ex grinsley for. The bulk dies

Why does sidney hit so hard

Pain

[toxic cobalt]

Oooh new serena

[zealous karma]

This is difficult

The sides just one shot me

Oh wait I have sonia

Oh wait

This seren has a shield

A

Now the sceptile does 900 with shield that doesn’t make sense

[austere quest]

Fighting Phoebe with the new frogs is delightfully devilish

[mellow linden]

Seymour, why is there smoke coming out of your oven

Anniversary Skyla + Holiday Skyla is a very nice combo for Flying weak stages

[zealous karma]

This stage is lame

(I am having the worst flinch luck)

[keen jasper]

With full set up and she deals this much damage

Even with CS2, the damage is still pathetic

[zealous karma]

That’s like less than half of what mine is doing

[zealous karma]

[mellow linden]

Well yours does have Defense debuffs

[keen jasper]

Because mine has max HP, strength and defense parameters

[zealous karma]

Cserena does to

Oh

[keen jasper]

Testing Lodge Serena's max nuke

[mellow linden]

Ah

[keen jasper]

Feels underwhelming

[zealous karma]

Why did the sceptile swift this game makes no sense some times

Evasion is good game design

I just got so lucky/unlucky wow

Today I learned my Karen grid doesn’t have sync power flux

I’m five resets into drake and super prep hasn’t procked with candice and j checked she does have jt kn her grid so

[old orchid]

hi AR

[civic trellis]

Hi

[old orchid]

are you doing hard mode?

[civic trellis]

Ye

[old orchid]

or MM?

[civic trellis]

I mean im doing MM

1.9k

[austere quest]

I would like to be able to kill Drake

[old orchid]

what parameters did you pick?

[austere quest]

My Sun Team is just dropping to it

[old orchid]

and your team too

[civic trellis]

Physical damage reduction: 50
Special damage reduction: 50
Strength 1, 2, 3, 6: 100, 200, 300, 600 (1200 total)
Power on hit 1, 2: 100, 200 (300 total)
Ally move gauge down 2: 300

[austere quest]

SSHilda once again too useless to be used here

Especially since she is at 2/5 right now

[austere quest]

Similarly, I am not finding myself killing him before second sync which is a bummer

[old orchid]

that team should be able to pre sync Drake, tho the team gauge is clunky

[old orchid]

you picked too many strengths params

[long thicket]

So even though I won last time with Sidney, using him against Phoebe is a bad idea, apparently?

[old orchid]

you dont have Karen or Summer N?

[long thicket]

For Flying, I have Ethan.
Fighting, I'm a little worried because I only have Wally as an EX striker.
Ice, Sygna N and Ghetsis are here, as long as I find a good support.
Psychic, I have options (Giovanni EX, Sygna Steven, Bianca)

[civic trellis]

What parameters should I use then?

[old orchid]

i recommend using the pre sync clear

sync with candice on side first to do turn denial

[long thicket]

Yeah, I got 3/5 Zoroark with the craziest multi I've encountered.
And both Karen, but none of them are EX.

[steel kelp]

Bea clears glacia like nothing

[old orchid]

they should clear Phoebe easily

[long thicket]

Bea scares me because she's gauge dependant and has one attack.

[keen jasper]

Besides CElesa, who can help Cerena with getting her multipliers for her Power Plays?

[civic trellis]

Bea (2/5) is too frail for me so I just off typed with ash

[civic trellis]

Where can I find them?

[old orchid]

in the pins of this channel

[keen jasper]

Guys, who can debuff a lot of stats besides CElesa for Cerena?

[old orchid]

im thinking of Champion Iris (Alt.)

[keen jasper]

Don't have her tho

[spring fable]

2nd time doing 1.5k (7.5k)!

[keen jasper]

I guess the closest would be Lodge Serena?

[spring fable]

Lucian maybe?

[old orchid]

how about SC Rosa?

[spring fable]

Or elio

[keen jasper]

Don't have her

[old orchid]

yeah LSerena works pretty well

ooh Lucian

[keen jasper]

Cerena debuffs Def. and Sp. Def.

2 debuffs of which Elio does

[civic trellis]

Thx

[keen jasper]

Lucian only debuffs 2

[civic trellis]

Also what’s turn denial?

[keen jasper]

You kill the enemy before they do an action which saves you 1 turn

[civic trellis]

Oh ok

Mine isnt EX’d will she still be able to KO?

[old orchid]

yes

use the nuke grid

[keen jasper]

Also, Altris only debuffs 2 stats

[old orchid]

and remember to keep hail when she syncs

[keen jasper]

3 if you give her a lucky skill

[formal vigil]

Ss wally and ss lyra

[old orchid]

how about

SS Leon

[keen jasper]

SS Wally hmmmmm

[keen jasper]

Don't have him

[formal vigil]

Ss lyra is slow ss wally requires 3/5 and 4/5 nodes though

[mellow linden]

If you're concerned about Glacia you could just off-type with SS Steven

[keen jasper]

My SS Wally is 5/5

No candy used

[formal vigil]

Damm lucky

[keen jasper]

SS Wally, actually...

But Sidney will do X Sp. Atk. All

[old orchid]

hope for spatk debuff from WS then

[keen jasper]

Wut?

[civic trellis]

Well I beat it but drake got to sync (1 hit away from KO tho) but I dont think I have the nuke grid

[keen jasper]

But there's no mega unit to set up for SS Wally

[civic trellis]

Nvm I have the 3 under it

[keen jasper]

And I need Calem

[old orchid]

lets try again

[old orchid]

whats the cap of power play

[keen jasper]

Someone said 48, and I was like "Wait, WTF?"

Or was it 18?

[civic trellis]

I mean I beat the stage but drake got to sync and was one hit from KO

Thx for the help!

[mellow linden]

I think 43 is cap for the regular move version of Power Play while Power Play itself is 18

Because iirc that's how it is for Good Form vs. Rising Tide

[zealous karma]

This week was more challenging than I’d like to admit

[keen jasper]

So 18 total debuffs to max out Cerena and Power Play's multipliers?

[mellow linden]

Should be, iirc

[keen jasper]

Oh so I was worried over nothing then

[zealous karma]

It’s Good form and Power loving that don’t have caps

[keen jasper]

So like, is 40k the right damage against max HP, strength and defense parameters dark-weak Phoebe with 18 debuffs with -6 defense, +6 attack and with dark zone?

[zealous karma]

If she’s 1/5 prolly

[vital gazelle]

are any of these a big no no for round 4

[civic trellis]

Is this a good team for sidney btw?

Frogs made phoebe easy and glacia I off typed with ash but drake and sidney I struggled with

[keen jasper]

Should be

[vital gazelle]

it’s fine, it’ll work. but something like rotom instead of falkner makes more sense

[full mesa]

I think those teams could easily hit 10k.

[civic trellis]

What about cacturne’s sync?

[full mesa]

Survive it.

[old orchid]

His sync is special so if you are using pre sync set switch to post sync

Actually i think a spdef buffer instead of Skyla is better

[civic trellis]

What about rosa skyla blue?

Oh nvm

Swimsuit misty?

Nvm she’s weak to grass

[old orchid]

OG Misty would work

[full mesa]

Normal misty does the work ok

I used Ash/SSBlue/Misty

R1

Also, Skyla/Misty/Blue can work

[civic trellis]

Kk ill try

Nope

[spring fable]

Hmm I dont know about that, I can barely survive most of the fights, team felt so squishy they could die presync

[austere quest]

Okay I just offtyped Drake with SST Red+Volkner+SS Morty and then I killed Wallace before he even sync’d

This game is funny sometimes

[civic trellis]

Who should I use for sidney?

I still cant beat him

I tried aaron skyla and blue

Nvm I just off typed with aaron skyla ss red

[gusty dragon]

Because u can off-type everything with this team... And Cserena against dark isn't much good as DPS alone unless u have her 3/5, then doesn't matter, almost everything is pretty solid at 3/5

[civic trellis]

Prob the most annoying week this month

Also new EX

[austere quest]

How do you get the medal to not appear?

[civic trellis]

Crop it

They r separate pictures I just combined them in picsart

[austere quest]

Ah I see

I wish I had something good for Physical Ice Weak instead of Offtyping with SST Red

But that's the way the cookie crumbles apparently

[civic trellis]

Same, I dont have any physical off type pairs tho I think

Maybe SS Giovanni but he doesnt rlly work too well off type

But maybe im using him wrong

[austere quest]

Fair

I might try it at some point with my SSGio Team, see how that goes

[tardy belfry]

sry for the ping, don't mind if I ask but may I know the parameters you took for drake? I'm using the same team as yours except with sonia instead of morty

forgot to mention, assuming it's 2k 😅

[austere quest]

It was for 10k, I use pretty standard parameters, think the ones in the pins I believe? I just sort of change around stuff when I need it: eg, Special Damage is my main DPS so I don't have the SpDmg Mod applied but instead, have the Defence Mod of an equivalent value applied.

[tardy belfry]

ah, I'm not actually sure if I took the wrong parameters or my team wasn't upgraded enough

I got 1750 points with drake and now I'm redoing it to see if I can get more

[austere quest]

So I would have Stat Reduction Off since I want to reduce his stats. Similarly, I want to affect status, so I have that off as well.

Okay sounds good then

[tardy belfry]

did you took the half hp parameter?

I can get 2k with the other e4s just fine including wallace, its just drake being a pain

[austere quest]

No, I did the gauge reduction, so I only had four gauge bar to utilize

Which is standard for 10k

[verbal karma]

so I assume this week's MM order is Drake, Glacia, Sidney, Phoebe?

[spring fable]

Did drake, Sydney, Phoebe, glacia

[tardy belfry]

yep I took that one as well, think I'll try taking the strength parameters and see how it turns out

thanks for the help

[mellow linden]

I did Glacia, Drake, Phoebe, Sidney

[austere quest]

I did Glacia, Phoebe, Sidney, Drake

[austere quest]

Strength Ones are the best ones, since they only act as psedo level increases

[tardy belfry]

I did the e4s in the same order as DR, so I guess that's really the solution

[spring fable]

Hmm

[tardy belfry]

I ex-ed red/pika and sonia, so I thought that was my mistake there

I'll try with strength parameters ltr

this was 9750 points

[civic trellis]

Thats what I did

[verbal karma]

hmm...actually, on second thought, by turning off "No Status Conditions" like I did last time, R3 Drake would be the better choice since I'd have a better chance at freezing him

[boreal rose]

Lol

[verbal karma]

but then I don't know which opponent I could make the most use out of R1's gimmick...

[spring fable]

Just do whichever to test the waters until you get stuck

Then reset and try someone else

[verbal karma]

hrrrmm...but I don't wanna reset...

[spring fable]

👀

[solemn pine]

Hmmm

[verbal karma]

I know that the sync pairs that would benefit from R1 the most would be strikers that use up 3-4 bars for their attacks

[frosty axle]

I did upload week 3 F2P and gacha videos #1049327702886318110 message

[boreal rose]

What does thid mean?

[keen jasper]

It means moves with innate secondary effects will be double

[devout sluice]

Probably gonna take my medicines and attempt 10k like every week.

[keen jasper]

Example, Rock Smash has 50% chance of lowering the defense, with that parameter, it becomes 100%

[vital gazelle]

is sidney round 4 a bad idea

[boreal rose]

I'd say it matters

But idk anything abt Hoenn CS

[full mesa]

Yeah. I had to reset and do him R1.

You need huge survivability.

[boreal rose]

Wth. Is Glacia a pushover this week?

My Korrina did 7k damage

[full mesa]

Except for her hydro pump after sync, yeah.

[boreal rose]

Not woth Syn yes but still

I had to leave cuz i thought i dont have 2k on

[full mesa]

Don't worry. Next week Froslass is back...

[boreal rose]

Im not

Im just shocked

Cuz like wtf

Next Glacia is fire weak

I like fire weak

[vital gazelle]

is 3/5 ss kris huge survivability

[verbal karma]

okay, I decided

[vital gazelle]

wait he does use no quarter bullet seed tho

which is super effective against kris and she doesn’t boost phys def

[verbal karma]

R1 Glacia with Aura Cynthia/Bea/Phoebe
that good or...?

[boreal rose]

I am scared ofthis weeks Drake tho

Next weeks too but still

[verbal karma]

I had Anni Skyla planned for the battle against Phoebe, in case you're wondering

actually, I should list ALL of my planned teams

[keen jasper]

That team can be reserved for round 4

[boreal rose]

Im smort. Used Noble Roar while having no stat reduction

[verbal karma]

here are all of my planned teams for R1-R4 (not in any order whatsoever):
vs Sydney - Wallace/Blue/Skyla
vs Phoebe - Piers/Karen/Anni Skyla
vs Glacia - Aura Cynthia/Bea/Phoebe
vs Drake - Pryce/BP Candice/Glacia

[keen jasper]

Why BP Candice and Pryce when Drake has Wise Entry x2?

[verbal karma]

freeze

[keen jasper]

Still, you're gonna have a hard time killing Drake with those 2

[boreal rose]

What does wise entry do?

[keen jasper]

Doubles base special defense, it's essentially like mitigating your special damage in half

[boreal rose]

Oh

Ghetsis?

[keen jasper]

Possible, but need certain support like SS Morty

Ghetsis has no hail multipliers anyways

[boreal rose]

Oh

I used him

[verbal karma]

damn, and I was gonna use that Drake team for R3

where I have higher freeze chances

on top of gridding both Hostile Environments on Pryce

[verbal karma]

any other team objections aside from the vs Drake team?

[keen jasper]

Why is Wallace on your Sidney team?

[verbal karma]

Whirlpool

[keen jasper]

Useless

[verbal karma]

why?

[keen jasper]

What are your parameters against Sidney?

[verbal karma]

Pre-Sync, but without "No Status Conditions"

after all, I only need to reach 9500 points, not the full 10000

[keen jasper]

Replace Wallace for someone else, maybe a Sp. Atk. buffer for Blue

Wallace is literally useless

I do understand putting Anni Skyla for Phoebe

[verbal karma]

none of my Sp Atk buffers can trap, though

[keen jasper]

Why are you concerned with trapping Sidney?

[verbal karma]

because that's what the game literally suggests me

[keen jasper]

Nah, game's advice is mostly useless

Replace Wallace for a Sp. Atk. buffer for Blue

[verbal karma]

...wait, I have an even better idea then

Rain Dance user/Blue/Sycamore

[keen jasper]

Can I see you grid for Blue?

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, good team actually

Do you still have Winona?

No wait, what am I saying, you have Winona anyways

[verbal karma]

I do

[steel kelp]

Nah Winona a gen pool 5 star

[keen jasper]

Grid Winona for Air Slash: Aggravation at least

[lapis trench]

Any particular order to do this week cs?

[tribal agate]

not in particular but for round 4 make sure you leave your strongest nuker/team since half sync cd

[keen jasper]

Just be wary on who you want to do in round 4

[tribal agate]

either strong strong defenses or hyper offensive

[lapis trench]

Ok thank you will do that

[verbal karma]

done

anyway, I still feel like my vs. Glacia team would benefit the most from R1

due to Bea's sole attacking move using up 4 bars

[keen jasper]

Glacia has 17k HP, with Aura Cynthia's fighting field and her B Move, Bea only needs to hit Glacia twice before she drops dead

[verbal karma]

hmm...

in that case, Sydney or Phoebe for R1?

I know I have Drake hardlocked for R3, at least

[keen jasper]

Doesn't matter

[verbal karma]

mainly asking because the one who doesn't get to be picked for R1 gets to be picked for R2 or R4 instead

[keen jasper]

Round 1 is just faster gauge acceleration

It's a niche parameter

[verbal karma]

in that case, lemme ask differently: between Sydney and Phoebe, who is more likely to defeat a team member?

[keen jasper]

Depends on your parameters for both of them

[verbal karma]

since the less likely of the two would then be R2

vs Sydney - Wallace/Blue/Skyla
vs Phoebe - Piers/Karen/Anni Skyla

[keen jasper]

Going all offensive parameters, both can kill your team within one sync

[keen jasper]

And if I had to guess, your Piers is EX-ed?

[verbal karma]

nope

Karen is, though

[keen jasper]

Ok, then purely sync with Karen only but if you're unable to kill Phoebe, then replace Piers for a Sp. Def. buffer

Oh wait, dark-weak Phoebe is physical

[verbal karma]

yeah, but I am wondering who of the two would be more likely to kill my team even before one sync

[keen jasper]

Neither as long as you buff your defensive stats

[verbal karma]

hmm...in any case, if R1 and R2 are a decision between Sydney and Phoebe and Drake is hardlocked to R3, then that leaves me with Glacia for R4...hmm...

[keen jasper]

What's your team for Drake?

[verbal karma]

wait, shoot

I realized

I accidently quoted my OLD teams

lemme post my NEW teams now

vs Sydney - Winona/Blue/Sycamore
vs Phoebe - Piers/Karen/Anni Skyla
vs Glacia - Aura Cynthia/Bea/Phoebe
vs Drake - Pryce/BP Candice/Glacia

@keen jasper

[mellow linden]

Drake wants physical damage

[keen jasper]

And yet you still haven't changed your Drake team despite Drake having Wise Entry x2

[verbal karma]

I don't have any physicals who can freeze

[keen jasper]

Do you really think Candice is that bad?

[keen jasper]

Doesn't matter if they're frozen

[mellow linden]

Ignore the Freeze then

[keen jasper]

Ignore game advice in general

[steel kelp]

Candice

[verbal karma]

but Freeze is precisely why I am using R3 for Drake in the first place

[steel kelp]

Ignore it

[mellow linden]

Use someone to flinch if you wanna abuse the round parameter

Tbh I wouldn’t recommend round 3 Drake anyways because the Garchomps have Iron Head

[verbal karma]

Ouch

Then I have literally no idea what order to go

[keen jasper]

But the Garchomps will spam EQ when Drake dies

[steel kelp]

Flinch lock Wallace

[keen jasper]

Wallace has flinch?

[steel kelp]

No

But that’s what I did

[mellow linden]

Drake won’t be impossible on Round 3, just a little annoying if your Support doesn’t have a lot of Trainer Moves

So if Round 3 is your only choice for him it’s your only choice for him

[steel kelp]

SS lyra hilbert and skyla

[keen jasper]

@verbal karma Do you have Hala?

[verbal karma]

Nope

[keen jasper]

Ah that's too bad, then Candice is your only option

Unless you want to use Ghetsis for Drake

[mellow linden]

Could also off-type or Poison stall depending on roster

[steel kelp]

off type

[verbal karma]

I do have 64 Alola scout Tickets, though, so lemme just

[keen jasper]

Then try your luck I guess

[mellow linden]

Isn’t SS Hilda an option? Good off-type right there

[steel kelp]

It’s not like pulling him will guarantee a win

Yes

SS hilda is a free win

[verbal karma]

Second try

[formal vigil]

GG

[verbal karma]

First try was a Guzma dupe

Thanks

[keen jasper]

Nice, but use all your Alola tickets to see if you get more copies

[steel kelp]

Isn’t hala more pain than just off typing

[mellow linden]

Could do something like Cobalion/Candice/Hala then, I guess

[keen jasper]

I did Drake with Hala before

So what's exactly your point?

[verbal karma]

I did, tho

I only could do 2 pulls

[keen jasper]

Oh yeah

I forgot it's 30 tickets

[steel kelp]

And what level is your hala

[keen jasper]

1/5

Ok, here's the team:
EX support, Hala and Candice

@verbal karma BTW, is your Candice gridded?

[mellow linden]

^ Very important to know this

[sand karma]

I this possible for this week?
Offtyping Wallace with Ash
Blue is 2/5
MR is 1/5 I'm debating to sync with him or Cerena or replace him

[mellow linden]

No Bianca?

[keen jasper]

There are some parts that are correct, but there are some that are wrong

[sand karma]

No
Not even after unova va

[mellow linden]

Oof

[keen jasper]

I still have no Hilbert after 8.5 months of playing

[verbal karma]

Damn

[mellow linden]

At least Hilbert has about a billion general pool/free replacements

[boreal rose]

Who to use for r4 2k drake?

[steel kelp]

He just doesn’t like you

[verbal karma]

I assume the speed buff parts are correct

[keen jasper]

For Candice's nuke, you have 2 options:
One is MP refresh on Hail or Super Preparation for more damage

[keen jasper]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Hala/Candice/EX Support probably works

Could try Summer Steven instead of Hala if you’d rather

[boreal rose]

How to use Hala?

[mellow linden]

Use Trainer Move -> use Dire Hit+ if you need crit buffs -> Ice Hammer spam

[sand karma]

You need hail mp refresh this week right? Since there's no perma field fx

[keen jasper]

Don't need if you have an EX support

Unless you don't have a crit buffer

[sand karma]

One hail to remove sandstorm 2 more while syncing with Candice no?

[keen jasper]

Both of her Hail uses is enough

[sand karma]

No need hail for her sync?

[keen jasper]

Yeah, you'll have enough buffs to kill the sides with her sync anyways

Even without Hail

[sand karma]

Masked royal sync vs Cerena sync if both 1/5?

[keen jasper]

Definitely Cerena

[sand karma]

Okay

[sand karma]

Which among these is best to use for round4
All of them are hail Mary's this week for me

[keen jasper]

No Karen?

[sand karma]

1/5

Her grid looks so good but none of the bloody Johto tix are dropping her

[steel kelp]

No bea?

[sand karma]

No

One of the greatest pains of my 3 months here

I got Wally 1/5 last week

[keen jasper]

Drain Punch Allister?

[sand karma]

Nope

This just got depressing real fast

[devout sluice]

That was the fastest 10k I ever done

[keen jasper]

Wait, can somebody calc to me how does the defensive entries work?

Does it become the overall base when the stats of the parameters are included or does it immediately double the initial base stat before calcing the parameters?

[peak stirrup]

Do critical hits bypass Glacia’s Sentry Entry and Wise Entry?

[keen jasper]

It bypasses the stat buffs, but if it's Wise and Sentry Entry x2, then it cannot

[peak stirrup]

I think it’s x3 not x2

[keen jasper]

It's Sentry and Wise Entry 3, meaning it's +3 preemptive defense and special defense

It's not x3 where it's tripled the base defense and special defense

Speaking of which
#1009554906568462476 message

[peak stirrup]

Okay maybe I’ll just try the Bea sync first instead of support sync

[sand karma]

Auroch will you be making an f2p cs video this week?

[zealous karma]

I’m not aurochs but I’ll test some teams and see how they work and if they’re easy I’ll try and record the clears

[sand karma]

Looking forward to it

[onyx ice]

Phoebe is kinda annoying

[dark osprey]

On type I guess

[keen jasper]

She does have a lot of HP

[onyx ice]

Ended up offtyiping (kinda) her

[dark osprey]

C Serena nuke under rain would have been enough I guess

[onyx ice]

Yes but i have her 1/5

Plus i would have still needed a secondary DPS to not get hit by the sides

[boreal rose]

@mellow linden is this team good btw?

[mellow linden]

If you have Hilbert available he might be better since your damage-dealers could spend less time on self-buffs

[boreal rose]

But not Ex

And 1/5

[mellow linden]

Ah, nevermind on Hilbert then

Hop might work, idk

[boreal rose]

But he doesnt have EX

But il try

[mellow linden]

If that doesn't work you might need to use Hala

[boreal rose]

[boreal rose]

Who to shnc with?

[mellow linden]

Candice if no EX Support

[zealous karma]

Hop doesn’t need it, you’d sync with candice

[onyx ice]

If you sync with Candice, you can still buff faster than rosanta

Even at 1/5 you can still get +6 attack and +4 speed

[boreal rose]

1/5 who

[zealous karma]

Hilbert

[boreal rose]

Oh

[lapis trench]

I'm stuck vs wallace (10k), anyone could help me out (f2p team)

[frosty axle]

Just use Mewtwo with good support

I did it F2P with Hooh though

[lapis trench]

Don't have ex supports if you mean that

[river pagoda]

m2 bianca sycamore works fine

no ex needed

[frosty axle]

m2 wants first sync anyway so ex is wasted

[river pagoda]

^

altho i used sycamore for setup so i synced w him first

[frosty axle]

its alright with the half sync cd

[lapis trench]

I don't have m2 mega thing either

[river pagoda]

ya i went w half sync

[river pagoda]

i cleared without it

[frosty axle]

shouldn't be any issue without mega too

[river pagoda]

just be sure to get rid of sides/get lucky w evading aoe moves

[river pagoda]

^^

[lapis trench]

Ok sycamore m2 and flex?

[river pagoda]

ya

i used bianca

u can use a separate support to buff def/spd/spatk so u can use first sync on m2 if u want

[frosty axle]

I usually go Bianca, Sabrina with Mewtwo

[lapis trench]

Ok thank you guys, i'll follow the tips

[river pagoda]

gl

[lapis trench]

Sorry guys just one last thing, what buff should i choose vs wallace?

[river pagoda]

i went w half sync cuz i setup w sycamore

u can use something else if ur not using him

[lapis trench]

Ok thank you soo muchhh

[formal vigil]

additional effects imo

[river pagoda]

r2 is a safe neutral one(teammate dies all team gets debuffed)

[river pagoda]

^^ if ur not using stat reduction null this works gr8 too

get m2 gridded out for his on a roll on psychic

if u havent already

[lapis trench]

Oh yes i've his grid

[river pagoda]

the top right corners gridded out right? his spdef debuff/on a roll tiles?

[lapis trench]

Wait

[formal vigil]

be careful with enemy poison though

[river pagoda]

^

if u have sycamore save his tm till the toxic

[frosty axle]

I didn't seem to have to worry about poison I tanked with Swanna with Hooh

it actually isn't that bad

[river pagoda]

ya

[river pagoda]

yep

perfect

[frosty axle]

ye that looks good

[river pagoda]

sycamore gridded out too?

[frosty axle]

hopefully its 20/20

M2

[lapis trench]

Syca grided for leech right?

[river pagoda]

^ make sure uve got all the upgrades for m2 and sycamore

yep

[frosty axle]

For Sycamore I would go leech, vast and healing hand

[lapis trench]

Ok roger that and yes m2 is 20/20 just not the ex

[river pagoda]

shud be fine

ur good to go

[lapis trench]

Thank you guys for the help i appreciate you all

[river pagoda]

gl

[boreal rose]

Is thst the girl from fortnite?/j

[verbal karma]

hrrrmmm...so if I can't use the R3 gimmick on Drake due to high Sp. Def

who can I use the R3 gimmick on then?

[zealous karma]

Isn’t round 3 moves with additional affects up

[verbal karma]

it is

which is why I wanted to go with Drake for R3

so I can freeze him

but all of my freezers attack with Sp. Atk instead of Atk

[mellow linden]

You can just use a flincher or ignore the gimmick

You aren’t required to take advantage of the round parameters

[tired sleet]

Gah, i left dark weak phoebe to the last round because of sidney, should have looked closer and seen the sentry entry x2

[lapis trench]

Wallace is pain........ Nothing is working

Any other plans besides mew2?

[verbal karma]

yeah, but with both my R1 and R3 candidate gone, I have literally no order in mind that I could be satisfied with

[mellow linden]

Why is round 1 an issue

That’s something anyone is fine with

[verbal karma]

because apparently, my candidate for Round 1 was bad

I wanted to do Glacia for Round 1

[mellow linden]

Who told you that would be an issue?

[verbal karma]

since my team against Glacia is Aura Cynthia/Bea/Phoebe

[mellow linden]

I’d recommend Hilbert over Phoebe if Hilbert’s 3/5

So that Bea can spend less time setting up

Otherwise I see no reason why Round 1 Glacia would be an issue

[verbal karma]

but Hilbert can't buff up Crit Rate

[mellow linden]

Yes he can, at 3/5

He has the Critical Squad tile in his grid

[verbal karma]

oh yeah, I forgot

okay, Aura Cynthia/Bea/Hilbert vs R1 Glacia

that good?

[mellow linden]

Should work just fine, especially since SSA Cynthia spams a 1-bar move and Hilbert will spend quite a few turns buffing the team

[verbal karma]

okay, thanks

[mellow linden]

I ran Bea + SSA Cynthia + Fall Caitlin, and while my Cynthia was EX I see no reason why it would be significantly harder without her being EX

[lapis trench]

Is it even possible to win vs wallace without any exes? Because i tried everything, nothing seems to work.

[mellow linden]

Do you have Bianca?

[lapis trench]

Yes tried her too nothing working, he oneshot me

I did syca her mew

[mellow linden]

Giovanni + Bianca + a Sp. Atk. Support should do the job, EX or no EX

Might need to reset a couple times so Wallace doesn’t lead with Poison Jab though

[verbal karma]

alright, at least R1 is done now

[lapis trench]

Poison. Jab is no prob with syca

Since i wait

To use tm

[verbal karma]

now the question is: is Sidney or Phoebe more dangerous?

[lapis trench]

The issue i don't do much damage

To have a chance

[verbal karma]

or maybe Drake is better for R2 instead of R3?

[mellow linden]

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[verbal karma]

I don't know...

[verbal karma]

Master Mode

[mellow linden]

Was talking to the other guy, sorry

[lapis trench]

10k

So master

[mellow linden]

And what parameters are you using?

[lapis trench]

Pre

[mellow linden]

Then if you lack EX Supports I’d recommend using a Sp. Atk. Support other than Sycamore and Syncing exclusively with Giovanni

Sycamore is great for situations where you can afford to wait for him to Sync before dealing big damage, but that’s not always doable

Or, depending on your roster, off-type might be doable

[lapis trench]

I doubt it ss giova seems not good at all

Palkia tried it but nothing

[mellow linden]

Cyrus should be able to off-type pretty handily if you make sure to bring a Rain setter

Worst case scenario you can always Poison stall

[lapis trench]

Ok will try it, thanks for the tip

[keen jasper]

Is this damage accurate? Max HP, defense and strength parameters BTW

[gusty dragon]

Phoebe has sentry entry

[keen jasper]

IK that

[manic mica]

This week, I’m trying to put a Steven in every team except one (phoebe)mostly because only 4 stevens. I’m trying to 10k.
As such I saved SS Steven for Wallace and I have only Sydney left and I’d like to use Anni Steven since weak to flying, the problem is I can’t figure out a team/way to get 2k without removing him.

I’ve never asked for help in this channel yet so I may need guidance on the correct way to show what I have and the like.

Nvm got it

[summer flare]

I have no idea on how to tackle on type sydney

[void wyvern]

Kahili

[summer flare]

Is she stronger than the staraptor guy?

[void wyvern]

Depends on what we have.

Can I see your flying units?

[summer flare]

Uh, just a second, but I don't have any limited flying pair

I have 3/5 Darach and 4/5 blue

Neither are EX but I can give them the upgrade

[void wyvern]

Nah. Shouldn’t be necessary.

[summer flare]

Yeah, those are the ones I have

[void wyvern]

Okay. Now your supports please.

Just need to see all I can work with.

[summer flare]

Page 1

Page 2

Lemme see which ones I've used already, since this ended up being round 4

Missing supports

[void wyvern]

Damn. Was really hoping that SS blue wouldn’t be used

[summer flare]

Any specific reason why?

[void wyvern]

Adrenaline.

Oh it’s R4 post sync params

I will need a moment to think about this.

But I’m thinking Hilbert, Darach, and a special defence buffer. Sync with Hilbert and we see what happens

[summer flare]

I could try that

I guess I need to leave debuffs available so Darach can deal damage on sync

[old orchid]

and pick critical shield for free 150 pts

[summer flare]

Yeah, I forgot that one

[void wyvern]

[keen jasper]

Darach is definitely stronger than Kahili

[summer flare]

It might be doable

I'll try a few times and if I keep failing, I'll all in on darach

Since flying isn't really a strong suit of mine anyways

Was hoping to save my EX for Bea, but since she already passed through this week, I guess I can skip her

[fringe valve]

Lmao didn't read at all this cs run and saved pheobe for round 4

[summer flare]

Yeah, sounds like Darach EX will be a good choice for this

[keen jasper]

Darach doesn't need EX

You just need his multipliers

[summer flare]

He feels like he lacks just the EX to one tap

With his sync

[keen jasper]

What's your team with him anyways?

And what's his grid?

[summer flare]

Hilbert and misty

I think it's focused on sync and self setup

He has the evasion debuffs and sync multipliers

[keen jasper]

You have Easy Target and Pecking Order gridded?

[summer flare]

Yes

Weight down too

[keen jasper]

Why Misty tho?

[summer flare]

And the standfast 5 node

She's the only spdef buffer that can heal

Among the ones I haven't used

That aren't named BP morty

[keen jasper]

And you don't have SS Kris?

[summer flare]

Since he gets oneshot on sync

[keen jasper]

What are your parameters?

[summer flare]

Post sync with +2 hp, gradual healing and crit shield

If I could swap out some power for atk and still survive until second sync

He deals enough

But with these parameters, I could likely get by with just the Darach EX

As for SS kris, she was used on drake

[keen jasper]

I'm going to do Sonia, Darach and Kukui

[summer flare]

I think I used Sonia on glacia

Since this is round 4

I need spdef to survive the sync

[keen jasper]

You're doing Sidney on R4?

Ok, Darach's sync was enough to defeat Sidney but just died due to recoil

But my team was EX Sonia, Darach and BP Clemont

[summer flare]

No EX?

And yes

R4

[summer flare]

On darach

[keen jasper]

Yes

Mine isn't EX-ed

[summer flare]

I could try hyper offensive parameters

[full mesa]

On half sync?

Good luck with that

[keen jasper]

Glacia is probably the safest option for R4

[summer flare]

Well

I think post sync with EX Darach might do it

[keen jasper]

Or you can just reset the fights without wasting your power up tickets on someone you don't need

[full mesa]

That's what I did. Ain't going to suffer with an unbalanced battle.

[keen jasper]

Was a bit close right there because Darach died of recoil

If it weren't for Sonia's Potion MP refreshes, it would've been the end

[summer flare]

I needed the boost

Since Darach is by far and wide my best flying type

I felt it wouldn't be wasted if it was on him

[keen jasper]

Ok fine, if that's your decision then so be it

[summer flare]

It was a smooth run with him EXed

Went for the EX Hilbert EX Darach misty run on round 4

Had to use sync 3 times

[keen jasper]

Oh so you EX-ed him

[summer flare]

Yes

I like staraptor

[keen jasper]

Ok then

[summer flare]

This makes it so I'm facing Steven now

I really wanna do this all on type

So I could say I've beaten the hardest league without offtyping

Which is a personal challenge

Given my limited roster

[old orchid]

just looked at your support roster and its not limited at all

[summer flare]

It's mainly on the damage dealer end

There are types on which I have no limited pairs

Fighting, fairy, flying, fire, the list goes on

Fairy is likely my biggest struggle now

Besides Wallace living up to the wall on his name

[sand karma]

Doesn't everyone have Silver now?

[summer flare]

Yeah, I used fire as an example, but fire is now doable due to him

Fairy is painful and flying was annoying before darach getting exed

[sand karma]

Is Darach better than Blue or Kahili for cs?

[keen jasper]

Flying is still annoying with Darach because of that damned recoil from his Brave Bird

[keen jasper]

Yeah

[sand karma]

Nice

[keen jasper]

Darach has debuffs at least

And he gains multipliers from it

[sand karma]

I have him 3/5 from sinnoh cs

[keen jasper]

Easy Target and Pecking Order and innate Pecking Order from his sync

[sand karma]

But he needs lot of setup no?

Can he oneshot centre with sync after support ex sync and full debuff?

[keen jasper]

Definitely, he doesn't even need his EX to KO the mid

Just like I did

But my team has defense drops so yeah...

[sand karma]

Can you share grid pls and which round?

[keen jasper]

I did Sidney round 1, technically any round against Sidney will do

[sand karma]

With?

[keen jasper]

#1009554906568462476 message

[sand karma]

Will Falkner work instead of Sonia?

[keen jasper]

Yes

[keen jasper]

Assuming he's EX-ed that is

[sand karma]

Yep

[summer flare]

So, I am completely walled by wallace

I don't even know where to start

I feel like Giovanni is the only being that comes close to dealing damage to him and he's dealing less than half his usual amount

And I have no idea why

Is this a wise entry stage?

[sand karma]

Have you set no stat reduction

[summer flare]

No

I did -6 spdef on Wallace and I still couldn't break through 4k damage

In situations I'd be doing 10k

[keen jasper]

What's your team?

[summer flare]

Sabrina Giovanni Lucian

Or Sabrina Giovanni Bianca

[keen jasper]

What's the round parameter you chose against Wallace?

And what are your parameters against him?

[summer flare]

Tried everything

Presync, post sync, nothing clicked

If my Giovanni had EX I likely could put up a much better fight

[keen jasper]

What parameters are you using against Wallace?

[toxic cobalt]

Doesn't affect his mid damage one bit

[summer flare]

I nuked mid once, but didn't have enough gas for the sides

[keen jasper]

And your Giovanni has Endurance?

[summer flare]

No, he dies along with the sync

[toxic cobalt]

Giovanni always wants to pre-sync. He is weak.

[summer flare]

So I've tried going for full atk+ and other negative parameters like

[toxic cobalt]

Weak defensively*

[summer flare]

Half hp, half mp, gradual healing, power on hit, sync buff

[toxic cobalt]

The last 3 are standard but the first two sound suboptimal

[summer flare]

I need something to compensate for the lack of the status reduction parameter

And if I put power

They gain more defense and hp, and get harder to kill

[toxic cobalt]

Should do full attack + Strength 5

Strength 6 if you want to debuff

[summer flare]

Uh, so

I just had extreme luck

Managed to beat the sides due to 3 dodges in a row at evasion +1

Wasn't really a clean clear

But on type 10k is on type 10k, I guess

Once I get Giovanni EX, this gets much easier

[keen jasper]

Or if you get SS Steven

[fringe valve]

🐐

[keen jasper]

Nice Aeroblast

[summer flare]

I try not to spend on pairs that have free counterparts if it can be helped

[fringe valve]

Thx. Very satisfying using ethan on flying weak. Normally use him off type.

[keen jasper]

How much SpMUN?

[summer flare]

Ethan is my first mistake in this game

[fringe valve]

8

[summer flare]

I got SS Kris and SS lyra

And he looks like the most fun to play out of the 3

[keen jasper]

Johtrio hard shafted me

[fringe valve]

Ethan is a solid unit for off type champion stadium clears

And extremely flexible for different team compositions

[summer flare]

Since I only play on type

He'd be my flying pair

[fringe valve]

Then he's doing an even better job

[keen jasper]

I usually pair SS Ethan with Winona

Since I don't have KriSS

[summer flare]

This was the first psychic week that Giovanni didn't steamroll

[fringe valve]

I like using ethan and kris with the new serena because of a 75 percent master passive boost to the entire team.

[summer flare]

That said, Hoenn pushes me into unorthodox choices

[keen jasper]

Flying rebuff when?

[summer flare]

I fear kalos

Kalos will likely be my cutoff

[fringe valve]

Like kris, ethan, and striker gyarados beats any champion stadium stage off type

Even the wise entry x2 stages

[summer flare]

Kris got much better, though

If Ethan gets such a glowup, it will be the first time in the pokemon franchise I'd consider using typhlosion

[keen jasper]

Wait, can Anni Skyla debuff Sp. Def.?

[fringe valve]

She can't unfortunately

[keen jasper]

Ah too bad, she could've definitely replaced Cerena

[fringe valve]

Ehh even still, i think I'd still prefer c serena

She just does so much damage to the mid

And doesn't need to sync for that damage.

[keen jasper]

I wonder if Cerena can do 499,995 damage with her Water Shuriken

[fringe valve]

For flying weak content, definitely anni skyla though

Theoretically yeah, since sync buffs stack infinitely

Definitely not after 1st sync though

[keen jasper]

I think the team would be CCalem, Cerena and KriSS

[fringe valve]

Yeah that's probably the best way to get out her dps

[keen jasper]

Or KriSS, Cerena and Redlax

[fringe valve]

I do appreciate that in this week's CS tips, they recommend SS Ethan

[summer flare]

Going through such a hard week, I wonder if getting one of jasmine or calem would be valuable to ease things up

Calem for the rainbow kind of buffer he is, jasmine due to seup, which is unheard of in my account

[fringe valve]

You having trouble with this week?

[keen jasper]

Had trouble on Wallace

[summer flare]

I managed to beat it, but it was obscenely close

[keen jasper]

But evasion hax pulled through

[fringe valve]

Didn't know he had evasion hax

[summer flare]

Mewtwo had like +1 evasion

[fringe valve]

Coincidentally used ethan with piercing gaze

[summer flare]

And dodged 3 hits in a row

Any connects and it's a lost run

[fringe valve]

I need that kinda luck

Well not in fights, mainly pulling

[summer flare]

Also had issues with sydney, but those were kinda solved through the free resource wallet

Raised darach to 150 EX

Still, it was a week with way too many hiccups

Phoebe was annoying due to sentry entry, drake and glacia were whatever, Sydney was hard and Wallace was the hardest, though lucked out

[fringe valve]

Eventually you'll get to a point where each week you can just use a broken damage dealer to off type any difficult cs stage

[summer flare]

I have some

But I dislike offtyping

[fringe valve]

Then thats fair

[summer flare]

Due to how easier it is to bulldoze some csmm stages when SS lyra, SST red and ash are available

[fringe valve]

Though I can't imagine on typing a fairy weak stage

[summer flare]

I used sycamore

[fringe valve]

I guess with wally

Ah right sycamore exists

Good support

[summer flare]

It took me 4 syncs

Since I also had the rule of not nuking offtype to keep the run clean

So it was just sycamore dps and nothing else

I tried mina

But it would take way too long for her to pull through

[old orchid]

just a reminder that Mina exists

[summer flare]

I just mentioned I've tried her

She didn't have enough

[old orchid]

i used her with EX Support and a defense debuffer and she worked well

[verbal karma]

still trying to decide whenever to pick Sidney, Phoebe or Drake for R2...and who to pick for R3 after that, since apparently, picking R3 for Drake is a bad idea

[swift swan]

Why is R3 Drake a bad idea?

[verbal karma]

because he has high Sp. Def

and all of my freezers attack with Sp. Atk

[swift swan]

I fought Drake R4 with Ghetsis and it worked fine with a good defense buffer

[verbal karma]

so that means my team of Pryce/BP Candice/Glacia would be good against Drake?

[old orchid]

i dont think so

[swift swan]

I wouldn't bet on it

[verbal karma]

oof

[old orchid]

Ghetsis is possbile because he has strong nuke and dps

Pryce and BP Candice are for Drake

that team will work on other non Wise Entry x2 Ice type stages

[swift swan]

You can, I suppose. Play the long game and bring a defense buffer and a healer

And Glacia is too frail to handle postsync attacks, methinks

[old orchid]

and sides have Iron Head too

[keen jasper]

You literally don't need to freeze Drake

[verbal karma]

see? this is what I meant with "apparently, picking R3 for Drake is a bad idea"

so now I gotta pick someone else for R3

[keen jasper]

It's not a bad idea, you just need to find the units who'll be useful for that round parameter

[verbal karma]

hrrrmm...okay, hold on, before I can try to find useful units for R3, I still need to decide on the R2 opponent...

[keen jasper]

Round 2 isn't anything too major

[keen jasper]

It's more like you have to choose who to save for round 4

[verbal karma]

that's also true

whoever would be the biggest problem in R4 is not allowed to be chosen as R4

[keen jasper]

I'd say Glacia is probably the easiest

[verbal karma]

I...already did Glacia for R1...

in my defense: Bea's sync attack somehow did less damage than her Meteor Assault

anyway, while my Drake team is still undecided, I at least still have those other 2 teams:
vs Sydney - Winona/Blue/Sycamore
vs Phoebe - Piers/Karen/Anni Skyla

...actually, between Sydney, Phoebe and Drake, which one would be the best choice for R4?

because maybe R4 Drake is better than R3 Drake after all

who knows at this point

[keen jasper]

The round 2 and 3 parameters have little impact on your favor

Well not really round 3 but still

[verbal karma]

yeah, picking round 2 is more of matter of who not to pick for round 3 and 4

[reef sierra]

Whats the best team comp for Holiday Leon 1/5 against Drake

[formal vigil]

Just run him with hail setter and attack crit buffer

[reef sierra]

ill try

hoo boi hail this gonna put my game to 1fps

[cosmic vortex]

The only interaction that 1/5 hleon with hail got is he have snow shelter in grid that's all.

Sad that hail doesn't boost ice damage like sun and rain

[reef sierra]

wait hail doesnt boost?

[keen jasper]

Yes and same for Sandstorm

Only ones with innate boost is sun and rain

[reef sierra]

HUH my life has been a lie I always thought Sandstorm and Hail boosts Damage

[cosmic vortex]

But we got a ground boosted move that unique in pomas...ground zone, that will boost your ground damage not like sandstorm that need to rely on specific grid or passive

[reef sierra]

I always thought Hail and sandstorm boosts... i cant fathom this knowledge

guess another reason to not use hail because it lags the crap so all i can do with drake is just Holiday Leon and some supports and prais drake doesnt one shot him

[steel kelp]

They have to release someone with ice zone right?

[reef sierra]

ice will always get the short end of the stick

[keen jasper]

Good thing fairy has SS Wally

[dark osprey]

Doesn't HLeon get hail multipliers at higher move levels?

He was supposed to be great with Holiday Nessa

[cosmic vortex]

Yep, but the guy that asked only have 1/5 hleon

[dark osprey]

Ah ok. My bad. Was just curious

[cosmic vortex]

So the only benefit it have is no hail damage due to snow shelter

[dark osprey]

Lol. Yeah. At least the hail recoil is better for gauge 😬

[cosmic vortex]

I got hleon 3/5, but i build him as freeze sync nuke instead...gonna take advantage of him having the highest to freeze enemies chance...also i can sack hail and put def debuffer instead to further boost his damage

[verbal karma]

hmm...actually, would Phoebe be a good R4 candidate?

after all, my Karen is EX'd

[swift swan]

You would need to use postsync params most likely. And she already has very bulky HP at base

[verbal karma]

hmm...I see no R4 benefits from Winona/Blue/Sycamore tbh...
and sadly, the Vs Drake team is still in the middle of restructuring as well

[swift swan]

Blue? Regular Blue?

[verbal karma]

yeah

[swift swan]

Hmmm with that team comp, you do benefit from fast syncs

Both sycamore and blue want to sync as quickly as possible

[verbal karma]

ah

okay, yeah, that's fair

Sycamore for the buff

Blue for the Mega Evo

that means R2 is now a matter of whenever to go with Phoebe or Drake for R3...

hmm...I can't see how Phoebe could benefit from R3 tbh...

then again, Drake can't really benefit from R3 either...

hell, I actually feel like Sydney can benefit the most from R3, but he's already chosen for R4...

this is really annoying...

...I forgot

I actually DO have a physical freezer!

I just need to grid him out

[keen jasper]

Lemme guess, Holiday Leon?

[verbal karma]

nope

Wulfric

[keen jasper]

You serious?

[verbal karma]

wdym?

[keen jasper]

Are you really saying that Candice is bad?

[verbal karma]

no

but regular Candice can't freeze

while Wulfric can

[keen jasper]

Her Ice Punch can actually

[verbal karma]

...

god damn it!

I completely forgot

[keen jasper]

[verbal karma]

...well, at least I have two physical freezers I can use

so...uh...Wulfric/Candice/a tank that can survive Drake, I guess

[keen jasper]

Drake is all physical

[verbal karma]

alright, no rock attacks to worry about

that means I can make regular Skyla the tank

which means that Phoebe is left with being R2

[keen jasper]

@verbal karma What was originally your team before I mentioned Candice?

Against Drake that is

[verbal karma]

well, before I was told that Drake had a high Sp. Def, my team was Pryce/BP Candice/Glacia for combined hail & freeze strats

[keen jasper]

That team still won't work because remember, Drake has Wise Entry x2

And also, Glacia doesn't buff defense

So that team will be bound for failure against Drake

[verbal karma]

fair

hold on, I need to change my Phoebe team

Piers turned up to be too fragile for this

hmm...maybe SS Skyla for the chance to speed up sync attack countdowns multiple times

[keen jasper]

SS Skyla?

[verbal karma]

...I meant SS Elesa

anyway

SS Elesa/Karen/Anni Skyla

that's my team against Phoebe now

seems to be working out so far

[keen jasper]

And if SS Elesa dies?

Because she has no defensive buffs?

[old orchid]

She actually can, with Team Toughen Up 4

[keen jasper]

Still, it won't be enough to save from Drake's sync or the Garchomps' Earthquakes

[old orchid]

Ofc
