Champion Stadium

[swift swan]

or smarty pants

well, maybe fantina

[void wyvern]

Fantina. Maybe.

[old orchid]

Helena too

[main crow]

And Giovanni

[devout sluice]

Next week gonna be another breeze.

[swift swan]

Johto is a breeze in general

finally, a breather

but I want kalos

[devout sluice]

Same.

It’s probably the last region we’re missing

[old orchid]

Galar (and Paldea) are still missing

[swift swan]

I... forgot R4 increases status condition chance and Koga, of course, poisoned me

[spring fable]

done johto

lemme reset pls

[swift swan]

well I forgot how easy Johto was...

now what am I gonna do

[full mesa]

After 2 months of frustration, Johto was refreshing.

Double frogs 2v3 Lance.

[old orchid]

waiting for Kanto and Johto CS lvl 2

[swift swan]

please

[dull yarrow]

I didn't have to stress this week

[trail smelt]

Johto crushed as usual

[fringe valve]

Off typed it easily

[trail smelt]

Oh next week has flying weak Koga

I remember when that was annoying haha

Wise Entry x2 before Wise Entry x2 is an actual thing

Nowadays Skyla just nukes it lol

[hollow zodiac]

Holy shit i was actually able to do one on the first try lol

[fringe valve]

I mean, wise entry was never a problem with on type content

Well i guess it might've been at one point

[manic mica]

wow i had trouble with fire weak 2k

[full mesa]

Didn't you do him R2 for perma sun?

[dull yarrow]

Don't even need Skyla

Just use SS Ethan

[main crow]

JUST FINISHED MY FIRST EVER CSMM 10K 2V3

[sacred mountain]

I'm tempted to try 2v3 CS but I don't think I have enough units built

[trail smelt]

Err, SS Ethan is rarer than Skyla

[dull yarrow]

Which Skyla do you mean though Swanna or Tornadus

or Togekiss

[zealous karma]

Genuinely true lel

[spring fable]

Iykyk

[zealous karma]

Interesting mix up

[primal field]

Any recommend order for doing this weeks Cs?

[zealous karma]

Everything is easy

[undone ether]

I have 1/5 NY Lisia VS 3/5 Palentine EX Serena, will Bruno fall? 😄

[zealous karma]

Idk I think he’ll drop dead and be found in Ohio

[spring fable]

whats with the ohio thing recently

[zealous karma]

Ohio

[spring fable]

seeing it on instagram and tiktok

[zealous karma]

This week is so peaceful I love it

[undone ether]

I guess i just do the order huh

[zealous karma]

I can’t tell if that is 15 types or just a normal clear

[full mesa]

Won't you use sun on R2?

[undone ether]

Normal clear

there's a R2 Sun sheningan?

INTERESTING

[zealous karma]

It’s perma field

[full mesa]

Perma field parameters

[undone ether]

honestly, sandstorm is also good against Karen

• Rock DOT

[untold mesa]

First time seriously doing Johto CS

Needed the types

[sand karma]

There are no free ice supports no?

[zealous karma]

~~Glacia might as well be free ~~

[sand karma]

Oh yeah i don't have her

[zealous karma]

But no there aren’t

If it’s for the theme skill could use Ghetsus

[sand karma]

Gauge hungry

[full mesa]

Then don't use ice move

Only 2 bar ones

[spring fable]

same for me, hardmode this week and next week mm

[full mesa]

4 more weeks of Johto. Yes.

[swift swan]

just be careful if you're doing Koga on Round 4

high chance to get poisoned

R3 prevents quadqueue a lot

but honestly Johto's not that hard, you have much room for error

[void wyvern]

I remember back in the day when Koga’s crit shield actually was a problem. Good times.

[sand karma]

Johto has a lot of repeated weaknesses

[summer flare]

I feel like round 2 Koga with post sync parameters was a bit of an oversight

[sand karma]

How do you get around it?

[summer flare]

He managed to use the crit shield

And it took me 2 more syncs than it should have to kill him

[void wyvern]

Defog

Usually you just kill him before it happens though.

[dark osprey]

kill before shield is getting easier now I guess

[void wyvern]

Power boosted silver makes quick and easy work of him.

[dark osprey]

yeah. so convenient with Silver

[void wyvern]

But back back in the day. If you didn’t have silver. Your other options were Hilda or Ethan.

[dark osprey]

yeah. and Silver without the powerboost & EX would also be quite tricky

side denials is a good way to avoid the shield as well

or at least get the second sync on without the shield on

Johto CS seems a good time to spread the denial propaganda over quad queues

[swift swan]

whoa I didn't realize he has crit shield this week

I did remember one of Koga's stages has one

[main crow]

Y'all think this duo is doable for next week's?

[zealous karma]

I didn’t even know lance had an electric week

[dark osprey]

seems like it would be doable

[void wyvern]

I forgot about it too.

[hollow zodiac]

Any teams standing out here for will? Tried cynthia/acerola and it didn't turn out great lol

[spring fable]

hard mode or mm?

[hollow zodiac]

Whichever the default is haha

[spring fable]

hard mode!

[zealous karma]

Why does electric week Lance have standfast 9 but no recoil moves??

Oh his TM

[dark osprey]

probably should do the legendary adventures to get Mewtwo and the other legenderies and then try Champion Stadium

[spring fable]

i would try offtyping with ss may/anni n, sonia/spatk buffer if anni n and a special tank / sun

but yea mewtwo

[hollow zodiac]

I'm kinda getting them as i go along lol, got zinnia and cyrus today

[undone ether]

Ded Will.

[hollow zodiac]

Ooo i haven't tried them together yet actually

[undone ether]

It took 4 sync moves. Feels gud

[steel kelp]

Will refused to die

[spring fable]

have you been feeling in the type medals btw

[steel kelp]

you’re lucky we just got off hoenn

[hollow zodiac]

I was about to ask, why is johto so much easier? 😅

[hollow zodiac]

Sorta, i think I've got almost half of em rn

[steel kelp]

It was made earlier

Kanto is the same

[hollow zodiac]

Ahhhhh alright

[zealous karma]

Hoenn and Sinnoh are the most difficult by far

[hollow zodiac]

Well I'll enjoy the east items while they last lol

[zealous karma]

Anything before that is so easy

[hollow zodiac]

I have these ones rn

[spring fable]

nice

feel them up between this week and next week

[hollow zodiac]

Oof ghost gonna be hard lmao

Is agatha decent? Not sure how well hypnosis works against these guys lol

[dark osprey]

put in agatha if u've got her. she's good with the sleep thing

sleep is still kinda broken

without the troublemaker lucky skill and no grid though, she may miss a few hypnosis

or u could bring in a accuracy buffer

[steel kelp]

Sleep and flinch are stupid status changes

Why on type with will when I can flinch lock him to death

[dark osprey]

they did purposely not release a 100% flinch unit for a very long time. wonder why sleep was not considered in the same way

maybe because of the damage or something

[undone ether]

Very noice.

Its super relaxed hnngh

[hollow zodiac]

Big oof nothing I'm trying w will is working

[spring fable]

what team?

[green path]

Didn’t know that 2 same chars didn’t appear in HoF entry

[spring fable]

O.o

[grand trout]

Damn i remember what i hated about this CS

Fucking koga and his crit shield

I'll gladly face hoenn cs than him

[hollow zodiac]

Right now I'm going with drake/AnniN/roxanne and just barely losing :/

[grand trout]

What round?

[spring fable]

based on medals i think 4

[hollow zodiac]

Yee, 4

[grand trout]

Used this for will and cleared him easily, didn't realize people are having a hard time with him this week

[spring fable]

i did will last too funny enough

we're doing hardmode!

[grand trout]

What's r4 again? Status?

Agatha can be a good one given hypnosis

[void wyvern]

Thank you for using based Agatha

[grand trout]

I have better ghost units like annillilie, ss korrina and ssr Cynthia but i guess i don't need much overkill this month

[void wyvern]

Fun > meta.

[spring fable]

or just reset and kill him again

[grand trout]

I'm using the former 3 so much in sinnoh, i reckon it's time to use my lesser used units in johto CS

Except koga, fuck koga. I had to bring out ss hilda to decimate that ariados

[void wyvern]

Mood.

Koga is far too bulky for his own good.

[hollow zodiac]

O oop, can't use agatha with N ig

[grand trout]

Not to mention crit shield

I have to defog him holy fuck

[void wyvern]

Someone really thought crit shield would be a fun idea.

[grand trout]

Why?

[boreal rose]

Huh? But im pretty sure they did

[spring fable]

can 1/5 blaziken not offtype?

[hollow zodiac]

N spreads burn haha

[boreal rose]

I saw omce Kris and SSKris once

[grand trout]

Why not hypnosis first then raze the flames

[boreal rose]

I think

[hollow zodiac]

Trying that one now, with agatha yeah?

[void wyvern]

Agatha doesn’t need to sleep them unless she’s going to sync.

[hollow zodiac]

As soon as they wake up they're burned lol

[spring fable]

yamper, blaziken and sun
^ does anyone know if this can offtype r4 will?

[void wyvern]

Yes. It highly likely can.

[spring fable]

so sonia, anni may and ss erika then

[hollow zodiac]

Don't have any sun users left, might try with drake instead

[grand trout]

Blaine?

[spring fable]

or silver...

🤔

[void wyvern]

At that point just use Lyra,

[grand trout]

You can also use poison stall

[hollow zodiac]

Used all three on another lol

And my poison stall as well 🤣

[grand trout]

Oop

Well good luck then

[void wyvern]

What team are you using right now?

[grand trout]

What params?

[hollow zodiac]

Well now i just took a wild swing and went cynthia/SSmay/sonia lmao

[void wyvern]

Cynthia Ss may have no synergy whatsoever

[grand trout]

Why cynthia

[hollow zodiac]

I couldn't find anyone else who fit and she hits hard 🤣

[grand trout]

Not with those aoe attacks she won't

[void wyvern]

Cynthia without sand is…lacklustre.

[grand trout]

Ss may can be your beater, just fins units that can support her

[void wyvern]

SS may without debuffs might be a bit of an uphill battle.

[grand trout]

Sonia can debuff, right?

Also i don't have ss may so idk lol

[hollow zodiac]

Oop that went better than expected, still nothin though lol

[sand karma]

Defense crush

[grand trout]

Can you show your remaining units

[void wyvern]

If it’s against will he has imperv

[hollow zodiac]

These, minus janine, leaf, and skyla

[hollow zodiac]

Yee, i just kinda spread em to the sides 😅

[void wyvern]

Don’t focus on the sides.

Kill mid.

[grand trout]

Hey! You still have ss leaf for stall!

[hollow zodiac]

Naw, used her, janine, and skyla

[grand trout]

Aww

[hollow zodiac]

Gonna see if I have any flinch units maybe?

[grand trout]

How about agatha, mortymagius, and uhh

[spring fable]

you used cyrus yet

[hollow zodiac]

Not yet, no crit grid thing on him yet though

[spring fable]

can hydropump cyrus off type

[hollow zodiac]

Was it crit focus i wanted on cyrus?

[grand trout]

If will has impervious, why use anNi

[hollow zodiac]

Blue flare was just strong enough to /almost/ wipe them without needing the debuff haha

[spring fable]

does anni n max crit?

maybe if you had crit you could've cleared

[hollow zodiac]

Yeee he did

I could try and grab hop or giovanni, i have no clue what either of them do though

[spring fable]

hop is a slow tank that buffs atk, def and crit rate

with potion

giovanni is uhh ghost and psychic dps

[hollow zodiac]

Just realized i exchanged 10 of my zinnia tickets because these menus are shit 🥴

[spring fable]

+legexchange

[frozen depot]

When completing a Legendary Adventure in the Main Story section, you will be awarded a sync pair, 4 vouchers and 20 power-ups (usable on that pair only)

• Trade the vouchers for copies of that pair (in the shop > legendary adventure tab)
• DO NOT TRADE the power-ups, use all 20 on the unlocked pair (in upgrade > potential tab)

  For more beginner infos, check our #1010307000346878062.

[spring fable]

this too

[hollow zodiac]

Yup, that's the one i accidently clicked

Because for whatever reason, the menus move while you're trying to buy things 🫠

I wonder if that's a thing i can contact support about lmao

[void wyvern]

You can always just use normal power ups later down the line.

[hollow zodiac]

I sent one off, 10 tickets for 1 is a horrible deal that i did not want to take lol

[toxic cobalt]

I'll pin it because you went to the effort for some reason

[swift swan]

Don't know if they can refund your exchanged power-ups... The feature's been around for almost a year and game devs never felt like they needed to clarify you shouldn't exchange them if you haven't maxed the pair

[toxic cobalt]

RIP

[molten sorrel]

Can anyone help build a team for karen? I dont have any rock 5 stars

[toxic cobalt]

Use a rock 3 or 4 star

[molten sorrel]

but arent they below 5

theyre just as good?

[spring fable]

oo bachira

[molten sorrel]

yes yes

[sinful garden]

all pairs in this game are viable

and 3 and 4 stars can be good

skyla is amazing for example

[molten sorrel]

alright alright

[spring fable]

also, hardmode right? might be able to offtype

[molten sorrel]

yea

i tried using roxanne but she does like 97 per move

[spring fable]

Well, she’s a support

[molten sorrel]

oh

[spring fable]

Also, which round are you doing Karen

[molten sorrel]

4

i have a team preset for lance already

[toxic cobalt]

If you have grid SS Brock

Or offtype with Cyrus or Giovanni if not used yet

[molten sorrel]

oh I havent used all three of them

didnt even upgrade em

[sinful garden]

sometimes its just easier to offtype

[sinful garden]

well do it when you can

cyrus is the strongest non gacha damage dealer

[molten sorrel]

okok

do I use all three of them in a team?

[sinful garden]

+101

[frozen depot]

Teambuilding 101:

Step 1: pick a damage dealer ( / or with high damage)

• take a look at their moveset; note what they buff themselves in terms of offensive stats (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer)

Step 2: picking appropriate for your damage dealer

• take a look at your through the filter option and the Known Moves tab and pick two teammates that fill in what your damage dealer is missing (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer )

Addendum: if your damage dealer's needs can be filled in with only one support, then your third team slot is more flexible and you can choose defensive (potions, buffing defenses, lowering attack) or a second damage dealer

For more beginner infos, check our #1010307000346878062.

[spring fable]

Ok if it helps I unintentionally off typed Karen

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1009554906568462476/1059369383291539488/image0.jpg

Hard mode as well

[sinful garden]

they dont have olivia

[spring fable]

But Roxanne can rank

And use any semi sufficient striker

[molten sorrel]

ic

[spring fable]

*tank

[sinful garden]

nvm was looking at bruno

for whatever reason

[spring fable]

I used the wrong teams

That’s hard mode anyway

[molten sorrel]

I still got my azz beat 💀

i think im doing this wrong idk

[keen silo]

Perma field effects

[swift swan]

Do you triple queue?

Do you buff crit to max?

[molten sorrel]

dont know what a triple queue is

[swift swan]

#1010307000346878062 message

Battle basics over there

[molten sorrel]

omg I keep having karen at 25% and failing

oh my god nevermind i did it

[void wyvern]

Mostly so I don’t forget.

[manic mica]

Need help somehow with this stage. My lisia is 2/5 and she dont have any lucky skills on her. And red dies way too fast

[formal vigil]

Swap out ss Steven with someone that buffs attack and defence like Lodge blue for Example

[keen jasper]

Red has Flag Bearer tho

But only 40% chance

[manic mica]

Dont have lodge blue

[formal vigil]

Aaron and sonia both do it too

[trail smelt]

What’s SSSteven doing in that team?

Ready for next week

[keen jasper]

Prolly buffing defensive stats

[manic mica]

i wanted him to buff defense

[void wyvern]

Just don’t have red be the main tank. Support SS steven will do fine tanking damage.

[trail smelt]

Ah gotcha

[formal vigil]

Isn't that just too himself or is it teamwide?

[void wyvern]

Teamwide

[keen silo]

me who just realized I only have 9/18 badges for johto 💀

[trail smelt]

After clearing this week’s?

[spring fable]

join me in mm next week hahah

[keen silo]

Nah haven't cleared yet. Last time I saw johto, I was likely super new

[toxic cobalt]

Ah well, get them done and get to master mode!

[manic dust]

Johto is so far EZPZ, but rock weak Karen is frustrating. I have Kukui and Roxanne but it seems like most successful teams have Olivia, which I don't. Any other good alternatives?

[toxic cobalt]

SS Brock

[civic trellis]

Wow johto 10k is much easier than hoenn 9.5k

[manic dust]

Ohhhh good idea, thanks

[main crow]

Bring a physical support too

Roxanne is special unless she's there only to buff speed/defense

[civic trellis]

Same teams but ss red instead of vilda

[manic dust]

Yeah I assumed she would be used for speed/defense and I'd use the striker for damage

Any reason not to use Roark? I have him at 5/5

[main crow]

No grid

Also he kills himself with head smash

[manic dust]

Oh womp womp, fair

[main crow]

Since he has no grid rn there's hope he'll get recoil removal 4 maybe

[manic dust]

That would be great!

[swift swan]

Ss brock is your best bet, then

Or just offtype

[versed meteor]

Stat Mirror new stuff

[lost gulch]

lol

NY dawn is easy clear in johto cs

but when it comes to hoenn cs

took like multiple resets

[plush tangle]

OF COURSE there had to be one

i swear someone is doing it for the meme

[main crow]

Rats on Johto CS

Now that's just funny

[void wyvern]

guzma first impression with extra steps.

Wait I replied to wrong one

I goofed

[main crow]

Roark :

Wait I just saw the endure effect and recoil can bypass that?? Omg

[swift swan]

The challenge now is to find a stage without overkill units like them

It's either 3rd anni trio, ss johtrio, frogs...

I saw a rare ss kantrio team once...

[swift swan]

Interestinggg

But am I crazy enough to do meme clears like that, for lack of better things to do?

[main crow]

Just wait till he gets grid and we'll see, I'd be tempted once he has it

Recoil run is funne

If removal is too good for him maybe he can get standfast 9 or smth and be like the Chad BP

[swift swan]

[hidden ore]

Koga has the least amount of Ratz squadz

[void wyvern]

Even rats hate crit shield

[mellow linden]

Reject Pikachus, Praise the Sun

[frosty axle]

My F2P run is available now #1059457677002031184 message

[void wyvern]

Never use rats, use on type.

Sometime, if enough of us clear one battle with a specific team, do you think it will show up on the clears page?

[mellow linden]

Dunno

But I'd be down to try and coordinate spamming regular Hilda/Hop/Blaine on a Fire weak stage some time

Or a different Support

[void wyvern]

We can look at our teams and find out

[mellow linden]

I've got Hilbert, Sonia, and Aaron all EX and at the necessary move levels to max Attack/crit, could actually do Silver as the damage-dealer now that I think about it

[void wyvern]

I wish I had Aaron at the right move level.

I’m sure a lot of us have sonia/Hilbert at 3/5

[mellow linden]

It might be fun to try and organize a server event for trying to force the algorithm to show a semi-f2p team

[void wyvern]

I was thinking something along those lines.

Guess we should talk to the mods about that.

[mellow linden]

Probably

[manic dust]

Right on the money -- Brock, Hop, and Kukui brought her down for me

[dark osprey]

Kukui has decent dps too right?

[manic dust]

I used Kukui to leer Honchkrow -- his DPS wasn't as good as Brock's, especially since Brock had rock slide to hit all targets

[dark osprey]

Kukui's acceleroc is quite good with grid I guess. single target moves usually are better because aoe moves have their damage halved on each target when hitting 3 targets at once

[manic dust]

Ohhhh that makes sense. Maybe he just wasn't gridded the best

[dark osprey]

its fine. winning is most important

[manic dust]

True!

[swift swan]

Does anyone want to spam Psychic-weak with ethan and serena with me

[dark osprey]

Move over thunder rats

[void wyvern]

We need to obliterate all rats.

[void wyvern]

A lot of kukui’s damage comes from sandstorm so brock does more without it in play.

[keen silo]

Master mode next 👍

[toxic cobalt]

Such a cool medal

[keen silo]

Damn how many steadfast abilities are there for him

[void wyvern]

Congrats! Wishing you the best of luck!

[keen silo]

thank you 🦕

Might struggle w rock but we'll see how it goes

[sacred mountain]

I think i can 10k this week if i try hard enough

[void wyvern]

I’m confident we can find a solution, just takes a bit of time.

[trail smelt]

You got this

[keen silo]

Been going for 10k every time, and I don't think I've on-typed rock ever

[trail smelt]

Just remember Koga is gonna Crit Shield if you let him

[keen silo]

Yeah already learnt that N doesn't bypass it

[toxic cobalt]

How very dare he

[void wyvern]

Power boosted silver makes quick work of Koga. You can deny his yucky crit shield.

[plush tangle]

damn crit shield not letting me having fun

[sacred mountain]

What's easier to offtype , Ghost weak or Fairy weak?

[keen silo]

Fun shield

[plush tangle]

fairy

and ghost you have mewtwo

[trail smelt]

No fun allowed shield lol

[void wyvern]

That depends on who your striker is.

[toxic cobalt]

Why would you offtype ghost weak

[trail smelt]

That said just burn him before he Crit shields

[toxic cobalt]

Also fairy weak this week is Mina heaven

[plush tangle]

omw to do a clear with hapu just to ping aurochs kek

[toxic cobalt]

That would make 2

[plush tangle]

which isn't a lot but it's weird it'd happen twice

[void wyvern]

NOOOOO I WAS SUPPOSED TO CLEAR WITH HAPU LAST WEEK.

[plush tangle]

[main crow]

Standfast 9 as a passive, there's one more on grid but I didn't grab that and here we are
73 recoil from 12k wild charge

[keen silo]

I was offtyping ghost weak everytime
Until i found out about allister 👍

[plush tangle]

you literally have mewtwo

[keen silo]

[void wyvern]

Fantina and Agatha are both really good now.

[keen silo]

Yeah

Fantina a baddie

[void wyvern]

[toxic cobalt]

Both of them vex me

[void wyvern]

How so?

[keen silo]

Better check out agatha then

More fun duo gengaring

[toxic cobalt]

Need lots of support

[keen silo]

sskris 🥰

[dark osprey]

It's just that last week phoebe hits real hard and doesn't shy from AOEs

[void wyvern]

I agree. They are both reliant for buffs/debuffs.

But Agatha has +6 speed and shadow ball always lowers sp def with the grid so she has a niche now.

[toxic cobalt]

+6 speed but a really slow clear

[trail smelt]

… ah nuts

Just realized if Kalos stadium shows up, Drasna is most likely gonna have a fairy weak round

Making me wanna pull my little pony

[main crow]

Imagine if Drasna stage were to have a go viral poison

[keen silo]

Gonna try 2k rock with Hop Olivia Gordie

[keen jasper]

Do we have Druddigon at least as an enemy?

[keen silo]

if not its an off-type (again)

[steel kelp]

You could swap gordie

[lost gulch]

https://youtu.be/9oyJFlGepwk

[keen silo]

Well its either that or brock

Plus gordie is exed

[steel kelp]

If it mm you could swap to a sand setter

[swift swan]

And what better way to do that than to use... Cats! Persian, Alolan Persian, and uh...

[main crow]

Liepard!

[void wyvern]

Alolan Persian is unironically usable as a tech nuker

[toxic cobalt]

Techs are techs

[swift swan]

Omw to nuke dark-weak Lucian with Nanu

[toxic cobalt]

Nanu is pretty strong, shame that sentry entry gets in his way

[verbal karma]

R1 Will, R2 Karen, R3 Bruno, R4 Koga, that good?

[steel kelp]

Whatever works for you

[main crow]

Was it Hoeen and Sinnoh that has dark sentry entry?

[keen jasper]

What are your teams?

[steel kelp]

It’s johto

It’s not hard compared to sinnoh and hoenn

[void wyvern]

Don’t ask me why I have this on hand.

[steel kelp]

why do you have it on hand

[swift swan]

Uh

I wouldn't recommend R4 Koga

He's gonna poison you for sure

[void wyvern]

I like beating my head into a wall until the outdated unit does big number

[swift swan]

Like he did with me

[toxic cobalt]

I still wish Nanu got a better grid

[verbal karma]

well, for Will, I have Roxanne/Renegade Cynthia/Fantina

[void wyvern]

What would you have wanted?

[swift swan]

Hoenn

[verbal karma]

no wait

I need to replace

Renegade Cynthia

with a different type

crud

[steel kelp]

Why

[verbal karma]

type medal

that's why

[swift swan]

Oh hard mode

[steel kelp]

Oh

[toxic cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/incredibles-something-amazing-gif-13336521

[verbal karma]

that means I need to switch out Roxanne as well

[main crow]

I'll keep that in mind and try to brute force Hoeen dark with Nanu at some point then

[swift swan]

Dang

I might try this with CCalem if I'm crazy enough

Narrator: She will not, in fact, try this with CCalem even when she is indeed crazy enough

[keen jasper]

@verbal karma Johto is a significant step backwards after Hoenn

[void wyvern]

To me Nanu got a great grid. 3 sync multipliers of 100%, 50%,50% all easily accessible. I suppose I could whine about no aggravation.

[keen jasper]

So you'll do fine with the 15 types

[toxic cobalt]

Pfff Nanu doesn’t need a zone.

~~Nanu only needs really specific and lucky timing because it’s a flinch nuke ~~

[verbal karma]

alright, Rosa/Kimono Jasmine/Fantina

that good for R1 Will?

[keen jasper]

Yeah, should be

[verbal karma]

thanks

[void wyvern]

Imagine getting the 30% flinch but then missing the 80% crit.

[sinful garden]

do jessie and james 2k poison weak clears exist

[steel kelp]

Flinch nuke

[toxic cobalt]

It’s a 60% chance with a crit but yes this has happened

[toxic cobalt]

Ofc

[swift swan]

...well shit, SS Lyra it is then

[toxic cobalt]

If there’s a unit, 2K clears of it exist

[void wyvern]

Right critical sting. I forgot.

[swift swan]

And then at that point SS Lyra is gonna clear the stage before Nanu can nuke

[toxic cobalt]

Me whenever I think “maybe it’d work with Sycamore”

[dusty crater]

Johto

[sinful garden]

awesome cause i wanted to try them in the upcoming weeks

[verbal karma]

alright, for R2 Karen, I decided for Olivia/BP Surge/Drake

that good?

[swift swan]

Olivia wants sand

But I guess in hard mode it's fine

You want to get types anyway

[verbal karma]

yup

which is what I am trying to do right now

getting types

[swift swan]

Give that a try, then

[verbal karma]

anyway, I am going in now...though if I were to use BP Surge now, I won't be able to use SS Elesa later...hmm...

[mellow linden]

Worth noting that 9-12 types is fine for your 1st week doing type medal

So if it’s easier to break it up more evenly across your 1st 2 weeks there’s no shame in doing so

[verbal karma]

ya know what, I replace BP Surge with my EX'd regular Skyla

that way, I can use my equally EX'd SS Elesa later

[swift swan]

Then Olivia needs to use her TM twice to get max crit

[verbal karma]

won't be a problem

[swift swan]

plus she needs to buff her own attack then

[verbal karma]

since Skyla and Drake can neutralize her debuffs

[swift swan]

BP surge handles both those needs

[verbal karma]

plus, since Skyla is EX'd

that means I can sync attack with Skyla first

which gives me double sync buffs

[swift swan]

It's not about the debuff. It's about the amount of turns Olivia needs to set herself up

Which means a loss of DPS

[verbal karma]

hmm...

in that case, I need to plan out the other teams first

[swift swan]

Which is fine if Olivia can nuke down mid, I suppose. But sides might pose you some trouble

[verbal karma]

hold on

alright, my team for R3 Bruno would be Aura Cynthia/Palentine's Dawn/Aaron

[swift swan]

Sounds good

Bruno will be powered up by Cynthia's zone though

But let's be real. She can handle it

[verbal karma]

alright, and for R4 Koga, I have Leaf/SS Hilda/Skyla

[swift swan]

Like I said. R4 Koga is risky. High chance of him poisoning you

[verbal karma]

which means that once I get to the fight against Lance, I'd have one water-type striker and 8 possible supports to choose from:

Sabrina
Glacia
Piers
Sawyer
Rachel
SS Dawn
Nita
Liza

[swift swan]

Well, your tank, at least

[verbal karma]

well, I am hoping I can just nuke the opponents with SS Hilda before that becomes a problem

[swift swan]

Nita and then a rain setter, if the water striker in question is Kris. SS Dawn or Sabrina if it's a special water damage dealer

[swift swan]

Sounds ok then

Leaf has friend mend on grid to heal from status if you need that

[swift swan]

Get critical focus on Kris's grid if you decide to use this

[verbal karma]

in that case, Nita/Sabrina/Archie sounds good to me

[swift swan]

Aight, good luck with Johto

I need to go to bed now, been feeling a bit under the weather today :/

[verbal karma]

thanks

and good night

please get well soon

[austere quest]

I never knew that Impervious meant that Spectral Thief didn’t activate its primary effects

But I guess that makes sense if it changes stats and Impervious says no

[hot nimbus]

how does one unlock master mode? i've just done johto hard for the first time but could only get 15/18 of the types?

do i need to wait until next time johto appears to do the other 3

[void wyvern]

No, just until next week.

[hot nimbus]

oh ty, i couldn't find my previous run to check which i had used, so assumed it was locked to region

[void wyvern]

The game will tell you what you need week so you just have to wait around.

[austere quest]

Yeah it basically means you can’t unlock MM until Second week if you haven’t touched the current Region at all

[manic dust]

Omg heck yeah I just finished my first CS. Thank you everyone for your help!!

[bleak vine]

I can't do the Johto one yet, but what's usually a good point set up for CS Master Mode?

[mellow linden]

Depends

The recommended parameters in pins each have a different use case

[void wyvern]

A lot of master mode is discretion.

[long thicket]

I might need a suggestion for Koga damage.

I have great options and they make solid damage, but it seems he has a lot of HP and/or nukes aren't going awesomely.

[manic mica]

Iirc my team for Koga was just Silver, Red, and Blaine

Silver was EX’d and my main attacker, with Red acting as a secondary attacker (Blaine just set-up Sunny Day and kept Koga trapped)

I did him second, if that helps

[main crow]

Silver should be able to nuke that stage easy

Tho just putting this up, Koga have crit shield

[manic mica]

Just EX him and keep sunny day up until he can sync

[main crow]

Dunno when he puts it up but he has it

[manic mica]

Koga really is just a very boring fight if you do it second, with a team of fire types

Bruno puts up more of a fight tbh

..speaking of Bruno, what’s a good team to deal with him?

Im on Round 3 which is probably best for him since hes a physical attacker

[main crow]

How's your fairy roster looking first?

[manic mica]

Uhh

[main crow]

If it's lacking, you can always offtype

[main crow]

Sycamore/Mina/Hilbert

[manic mica]

Ok

[main crow]

Tho Mina may want some bit not investment first

[long thicket]

Mhm, sure?

[main crow]

Can't comment on Valerie I've never used her

[long thicket]

I think I tried him and he did very little.

[formal vigil]

did koga have crit sheild up

[main crow]

Does your silver have super command?

[long thicket]

Grid stuff?

[manic mica]

Do you have his grid expansion?

[main crow]

Other than the cracked solar flare 14 he has access to guaranteed SEUN

On TM

[main crow]

Yup

[long thicket]

Yeah, I got it on the rerun.

This is what I currently have.
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13301/25000?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFERQfICEjJCgqLTAxMjM

[mellow linden]

Don't need Ramming Speed for a Sync nuke build, and you'll definitely want Trainer Move Super Preparation

Super Command, sorry

Try this one and you should see much higher Sync damage assuming it's a crit

[long thicket]

Alright, changed.

[hollow zodiac]

Yoooo hugh actually came in clutch i hate it

[manic mica]

You have Hugh?

Hand him over ✋

[royal walrus]

How do these teams looks for my first johto clear? I don’t have a rock attacked, so am going to hope to off type with Dialga. Another option is to swap Greninja and Blastoise for the last two

[main crow]

Is this for hard mode?

[royal walrus]

I think so. The two options are hard mode and master mode right? Then yeah, it's hard mode

[keen silo]

Will is a red flag

[main crow]

Will's team may come into gauge issues

[keen silo]

^

100%, and Ghetsis is very useless for that stage

Has imprvious

[main crow]

I'd suggest roxanne perhaps

[keen silo]

^

[main crow]

She has speed buff and if you grid her spdef buff

[royal walrus]

Oh interesting. I have her at level 1. With the Nosepass?

[keen silo]

If you have Roxanne gridded, you can replace Liza for a tank

[keen silo]

Yes, what move level /5 is she at?

[royal walrus]

4

[main crow]

Should be good

[keen silo]

Sounds good

[main crow]

Invest in her level and potential a lil to 4* maybe

[royal walrus]

So Roxanne for Ghetsis, what about Lyra for Liza? To tank and use light screen

[keen silo]

If you can grid, get this one over here

[royal walrus]

Yeah I can get to that node, thank you

[keen silo]

I'd say in that case have Roxanne still tank, but Lyra can set up Light screen for her

[royal walrus]

Sweet, I'll give that a shot first since that's probably my weakest team. Thank you for the help!

[keen silo]

I'd recommend Will on either round 1 or 4. Best of luck !

[royal walrus]

Oh. I was also concerned about Bruno actually. Blissey doesn't really serve a purpose there. But I don't have a fairy damage dealer

[keen silo]

Ah, about Bruno, do you have Mina?

[royal walrus]

So my plan was Lucas Sp.Def drop and then using Xerneas to deal fairy damage

[main crow]

Brendan*

Also yeah Mina should able to handle the stage

[royal walrus]

Brendan. Sorry just pulled him and Lucas. Still working on names since people refere to syncs by names

[main crow]

Charm Bruno to death and sync go bbbrrrrr

[royal walrus]

Yeah I do have her. Okay, will try

No need to pair Mina with Brendan then. So maybe I'll look for a def-lowering sync

[manic mica]

Whats a good grid for Mina?

[keen silo]

Prioritize setting her up

[manic mica]

???

[keen silo]

Wasn't meant to you mb

[manic mica]

Oof

Ok

Sorry

[royal walrus]

Swap Hop and Brendan. That gives sp.def. down on Karen, who I'm off-typing, and attack up to Mina

[keen silo]

Yup

Important tile for Hop so he can fully set Mina up

[keen silo]

its fine, i tend to forget about the reply function so this is a good reminder

[royal walrus]

Okay, got it. Thanks for the help! Will give them a shot now

[main crow]

Assuming you have a team that fulfill her needs (atk+crit) , you can go for smth like this if you want her to go ham

[keen silo]

While Hop is setting up Mina, have Mina use 3x Charm on the enemy

Could get this as well if you can

[royal walrus]

Will is down, ty again. Idk if I have orbs for that unfortunately

[keen silo]

That's fine

[main crow]

Hey if you're planning to wait for sync orbs this is only the first day

So there it quite a bit of time left

[royal walrus]

Lol. Mina's sync did about 10% damage. Maybe 98 wasn't high enough level

[keen silo]

Did Hop get his MP refresh

[royal walrus]

No, but I figured I may as well see how they do without that

[main crow]

Or maybe it didn't crit? Sync has an innate -1 remember that

[keen silo]

Yeah the mp refresh is important

[royal walrus]

Well xerneas carried the rest. So it worked out in the end. You're right though, I Should have restarted when I missed the refresh

[keen silo]

Very likely didn't in this case

[keen silo]

Nice, good to hear

[main crow]

Common Sycamore W

[main crow]

Btw is your silver here grided?

[royal walrus]

From the rocket event grids yeah

[main crow]

Does he have fast track on him?

[royal walrus]

Yes, fast track 3

[zealous karma]

Good game design

[main crow]

Okay nice I was bit concerned if the team only has one pair with a +6 speed, wishing you luck on this CS

I'll be off now

[royal walrus]

Thansk for the help!

[keen silo]

[royal walrus]

Easy peasy. All set for my first clear of Johto! Thanks! Now next week I think I modify these teams to use the types I did not, am I understanding correctly?

[keen silo]

Yes, while also making sure you are able to clear the entire CS- otherwise you won't get any type badges for the medal

[royal walrus]

Technically I have 4 more completions to try to do that right? but ideally it would be done next week?

[keen silo]

Ideally you want to get it done asap so you can attempt master mode for more rewards

Especially power tickets

[zealous karma]

With the amount of times I’ve failed to crit koga afyer crit shield ended you’d think it lasted the entire time

This is genuinely a joke oh my gosh

(I’m not mad )

Ghetsus has a 50% chance for sync tk crit I swear

Idt I’ve had worse luck on a stage than this

[rotund torrent]

How should I beat koga

I been using silver hilbert Blaine

And I’m always really close but always die to his sync

[zealous karma]

I would aim for turn denial

[manic mica]

Silver SSRed and Blaine

Koga fell like a bag of bricks with that team

[long thicket]

Alright, Damage had spikes, but I did it.
That Ariados is kinda bulky.

Paired him with N Reshiram and EX Sonia.

[mellow linden]

Wait

You used Silver…without Sun?

Please tell me I just missed a conversation where you changed your team

[long thicket]

Second sync.

[mellow linden]

If you managed to do the 2nd Sync under Sun then sure

[long thicket]

I'm aware Silver benefits, but I took time to build stats and double sync boost.

[mellow linden]

Silver with Power Boost should be able to nuke with his 1st Sync

It’s a very strong Sync

[long thicket]

Honestly, Johto feels like a breeze after Sinnoh and Hoenn back to back. I can't believe I managed 10k on the first day.

It might've not been the most optimal direction, but it worked and I had no KO and lots of health left.

Sonia boosts speed to negate the opponent's debuff.

[mellow linden]

Yeah, if it works it works. Definitely would recommend bringing an on-demand Sun setter next time though, since even without a 2nd damage-dealer Silver can definitely one-shot the entire enemy team with the 2nd Sync (assuming EX Support did 1st Sync), which could save you the other damage-dealer for use elsewhere

[last dew]

need help beating chamption stadium

everything except for fire

[sacred mountain]

Hard mode or Master mode?

[last dew]

Hard

[sacred mountain]

Oh that's easy then

You need to maximise the type of units used to unlock master mode by next week

[last dew]

Ok

wdym maximise?

bruh

[trail smelt]

Use as many different types as possible

[spring fable]

Complete the type medal

18 types

[swift swan]

hi CS chat

[manic mica]

Hi!

[dark osprey]

Nov cannot stand Kanto and Johto CS anymore

[swift swan]

Why are y'all squinting like I did something sus

[white gale]

oh I thought that was just to acknowledge you entered LOL

[swift swan]

That's true, I cannot 💀

[tender shore]

can I off type Bruno? (in round 3 I'd assume for the physical reduction)
I'm doing regular mode because I haven't actually unlocked master mode

[swift swan]

Yes, any CS stage can be offtyped

[tender shore]

also do any of the current e4 use field moves

[swift swan]

No zones/terrain/weather in this rotation, at least. If that's what you're asking

But Koga does set up crit shield

[tender shore]

yea
because round 2 has permanent field effects

so I probably don't want to fight koga in round 2 right

[swift swan]

He sets it up right before his sync. If you kill him before then, you're fine fighting him R2

Or if you have a defog user

[tender shore]

I fought him round 1
it took like 3 sync rotations
idk if thats cause I used Ghetsis or if that's just how long Cs usually is?

[swift swan]

Depends. In hard mode you can easily presync (winning before the enemy reaches their sync move)

Idk what you did to reach 3 syncs... in hard mode, Ghetsis at most needs two

[tender shore]

idk
I used skyla/Elysia rotom

[zealous karma]

off typing koga With ghetsus took me 6

[tender shore]

I'm built different 😎

[swift swan]

Probably a grid problem or you got unlucky with crits

[zealous karma]

I was mixing up Joey and Deej for who knows how long til

[zealous karma]

It’s neither just didn’t deal enough damage and i had to sync with sycamore after drakes initial support ex because crit shield is hype

#1015843845008793690 message

[manic mica]

Ok so

I cant beat Bruno since my pairs arent grid’d or anything

Should i just

Go for SSSteven

Or do i save him for Lance?

[swift swan]

Water is a bloated type, you can just go Cyrus vs Lance

people tend to feel like they need to save their best units vs the champion

even though the E4 is usually harder lol

[keen jasper]

Especially if you have Cerena

[solemn pine]

Is wills gimmick a weaker version of the sentry and wise entry in hoenn, or the same?

[swift swan]

it's just +1 defense and special defense on entry. gets ignored by crit

[keen jasper]

His only gimmick is Impervious

[swift swan]

practically meaningless, but his Impervious does mean you can't use your multipliers that rely on stat debuffs

[keen jasper]

Which is annoying for Fantina

[old orchid]

For most ghost type

[tender shore]

can I change the chosen effect against lance if I want to try a different strat or is it locked once I pick one?

[keen jasper]

You can change

[tender shore]

ok

[thin rover]

Hi can anyone give some advice on beating champion stadium this week? I have already used up fairy/electric/poison on bruno

[swift swan]

ah, did you miss Silver's EX and powerboost?

[thin rover]

Started yesterday

[solemn pine]

Ah

[hot shadow]

I'd advise clearing Legendary Adventures first

+legexchange

[frozen depot]

When completing a Legendary Adventure in the Main Story section, you will be awarded a sync pair, 4 vouchers and 20 power-ups (usable on that pair only)

• Trade the vouchers for copies of that pair (in the shop > legendary adventure tab)
• DO NOT TRADE the power-ups, use all 20 on the unlocked pair (in upgrade > potential tab)
  https://i.imgur.com/gGHPQjd.png
  For more beginner infos, check our #1010307000346878062.

[hot shadow]

You'll get lots of great units

[swift swan]

yeah, I was just about to say

you're lacking a lot of the legendary adventures units

[thin rover]

Think I've only done the two so far, went and did the villian stories for tikets

Righto might focus on finishing those now then

[hot shadow]

And this CS has the whole week left, so you've got plenty of time

[swift swan]

max them out to 5/5 Move Level and 20/20 potential with their custom resources, like mentioned here

[thin rover]

How long does the Johto CS last for?

Just the week?

[keen silo]

Resets every week, and will be johto cs for several weeks

[dawn anchor]

If you haven’t done already, you can probably reroll a few times to get some great pairs to start off with

[thin rover]

Oh I thought I had been getting quite lucky with the 5 stars I've gotten

Although I'm almost at pity for Greninja

[dawn anchor]

A lot of people have rerolled recently to get both greninjas

[main crow]

Is this Will stage built for BP Erika or what lol

Low poison resistance i understand but the low trapped resistance sticks out funnily

[full mesa]

Every poison stage has low poison and badly poison resistance. Also if you look carefully, it has low att/spa/spd resistance. Yes, it's a stage made for stall.

[main crow]

Nice, I was thinking of doing stall this time

Invested in BP Erika long time ago but never got the chance to use her

[swift swan]

Either that or Lucy

[dark osprey]

anyone use Kali Azumarill for CS? with her guards she seems quite bulky right?

[full mesa]

For those specific types yes.

[swift swan]

I haven't even upgraded her to 5*

[keen jasper]

Prolly, too bad her Sp. Atk. stat is trash

[full mesa]

-50% iirc.

[keen jasper]

Aren't guards usually 30%?

[full mesa]

Are they? I don't know

[dark osprey]

30% should be right

[full mesa]

Still 30% is big numbers.

[dark osprey]

just got her there right now. numbers are quite decent on paper I guess

[old orchid]

she is nice as a mixed tank, but imo she is a premium egg Jigglypuff

[dark osprey]

that's kinda nice isn't it

[old orchid]

yeah her bulk is a bit low

so it's a problem actually

[dark osprey]

yeah. that's true. against those types maybe it would be great though

[old orchid]

her buffing potential is slow too

[dark osprey]

yeah. I guess no offensive buffs

[old orchid]

she has special atk buffs

[dark osprey]

oh yeah. that's kinda decent i feel

[old orchid]

+4 after 2 TM

[dark osprey]

yeah. i don't think they will ever give bulk and special plus crit buffs to many general supports

its kinda sad

like a Hop, Sonia, Aaron for special is just unheard of

[old orchid]

Sabrina, SS Elesa, Falkner, Classic Giovanni

we have a few good ones actually

oh and Torchic too, but cant max crit

[dark osprey]

yeah. but bulk wise they do falter

[old orchid]

[dark osprey]

they just don't want to give us that easily i feel

even torchic grid wouldn't have bulk tools for sure

that TM is busted though

[full mesa]

Iirc Torchic, Roark and Maylene are the only 3* without grid yet (if we don't take into account the ones getting a grid at the 25th).

[old orchid]

Lorelei and Team Rocket dou too

[full mesa]

So 5 3*. Let's hope it'll get one by the next 3-4 months.

[grand trout]

Lorelei is 4* right

[grand trout]

Glacia can max crit too

As well as sslillie

[old orchid]

Oh yeah Glacia

They were talking about general specal supports

[grand trout]

Well how about

Cynthia from lodge

I think lodge elesa too if I'm not mistaken

[zealous karma]

Hype up 1…

[grand trout]

If we could ex lodge supports I'd totally use them for cs

[old orchid]

Cynthia cant buff spatk while Elesa buff is slow af

[manic mica]

Is this a good team?

(YES I KNOW I SHOULD EX ROSA I JUST DONT HAVE THE SPIRITS FOR IT.)

[main crow]

Roark would fucking kill himself

[swift swan]

Uhh any other rock damage dealer other than Roark who's gridless and will most likely kill himself?

[main crow]

SS Brock

[sinful garden]

Roark has a tiny issue with recoil

[main crow]

Try him out

[swift swan]

*big

[main crow]

He makes it tiny by wearing a helmet

[manic mica]

???

Is this good?

Or should I save Cynthia for Lance?

[swift swan]

Hmmm does ss brock max his crit at all

[manic mica]

Since i dont have any good water pairs left

[manic mica]

No

No sync orbs rn

[swift swan]

Cyrus

[manic mica]

I can try to give him his crit

[manic mica]

I dont like Cyrus

[swift swan]

Ok then that might be an issue. Either get a damage dealer who can max their own crit or get someone else to do it for him. At 2/5 Cynthia can't do that

[manic mica]

Ok

Nvm

I just reset Brock’s grid

And gave him the crit buff at the start of the battle

[swift swan]

Well he comes at 5/5 and 20/20 for free and will easily sweep Lance but if you want to impose challenge on yourself by refusing to use a perfectly good unit then sure

[manic mica]

Should i use SSA Cynthia for Karen or should i save her for lance?

[swift swan]

I can't say much if I don't know what other options you have

[swift swan]

Sharp entry 1? Imo that's barely enough. Ideally you want +3 crit

[main crow]

You have a lot of good choices for maxing crit/atk

[manic mica]

Which one should i use?

[main crow]

Like Falkner, Aaron, Classic Giovanni

[swift swan]

Also, next time pls screenshot from Upgrades > Move Level tab for easier viewing. Or use the sync pair tracker https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

[manic mica]

Oh

[swift swan]

Oof, did you not grind for classic giovanni's dupes

[manic mica]

Ill see how it goes

[manic mica]

Ran out of stamina and lost my phone for a few days

So i just Couldn’t

[swift swan]

Also Phoebe, Hop. These units can already be staple members in each team if your damage dealer can't max their own crit yet

Take out Rosa, she barely contributes to anything

Switch with a crit buffer that kazu and I have mentioned

[manic mica]

NO

NO

WHY

[main crow]

Hmm perhaps a speed buffer? Did you have any issues with the gauge there?

Wait I'm dumb I forgot Rosa TM can charge you full

[manic mica]

Maybe ill try brendan since healing was my issue

[swift swan]

That's pretty close though

[main crow]

Perhaps increase Brock's potential? Stats usually doesn't matter much but sometimes a sliver of hp could ended up helping you in a clutch

[swift swan]

That's really, really close. I doubt you need to upgrade him

If you have the to spare, sure... But there are pairs more worth the upgrade imo

[manic mica]

Ok that worked

[main crow]

Oh? You did it?

[manic mica]

Dont have any tickets

Didnt upgrade him

Just used Brendan

[main crow]

Nice

[manic mica]

Rosa just sucks

[swift swan]

She contributes barely nothing there

The stage is mostly physical and she's a special defense tank. She buffs special attack while your team wants physical

[manic mica]

Now what kinda team should i use for lance

[main crow]

I remember the days she was top tier

[swift swan]

Can't say a unit sucks if you don't test them out in an environment suitable for them

[main crow]

By that I mean prob the first month of the game's existence

[swift swan]

Well, I can't see your other water damage dealers and if you don't want to use Cyrus (nor can I find him and some other Legendary Adventures units, idk), then offtyping is your best bet

[toxic cobalt]

Cyrus Winona Roxanne

[manic mica]

Fuck yeah

Easy mode

WOOOOO!!!

[swift swan]

So easy even auto could do it?

[main crow]

SSSTeven moment

[manic mica]

Yeah, lmao

Not actually

I use auto since i can tap fast. It just auto heals for me

[void wyvern]

This looks like a challenge.

[dark osprey]

Bruno has it coming

[void wyvern]

I just spent 5 minutes using 1* cookies for cs2

[dark osprey]

That's a good use of 5 minutes I guess

Nvm they were right. That special attack is abyssmally low

[void wyvern]

Using her with zone was far too easy.

[dark osprey]

I guess Wally would be enough

[void wyvern]

I ran max strength and no Wally grid and Bruno still died before sync

[dark osprey]

Wally is great

Why do you need dps when you have stats like that

[void wyvern]

Let me lose wally and Amphy and switch to less optimal options.

[void wyvern]

I ironically prefer dps over nuke with him.

[dark osprey]

I guess Amphy can be there

[void wyvern]

Amphy gives me SEUN

And takes close combat like a champ.

[dark osprey]

She's busted too but guess still wouldn't help that draining kiss that much

[void wyvern]

She’s also the ideal support. Provides defences for smart cookie, grand entry gives the last bit of special attack needed, and the healing is always appreciated on a slow team.

[dark osprey]

Ah nice

[void wyvern]

Which is why she needs to be replaced for testing.

[dark osprey]

Fair enough

[dark osprey]

Your ss Wally 3/5+?

Tried with Mina and Hop just for scale and appreciate Mina even more now.

[void wyvern]

3/5

I am being drastically held back by not having a 3/5 SS Brendan

[manic mica]

Mines only like 1/5 and hes doing.. alright

Hes just there for one buff and then heal spam

[void wyvern]

He does absolutely fine at 1/5 as a buffer and sp def lower, but not having crit when I’m trying to cram a cheap physical attack lower is making my life harder.

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Brendan at 1/5 is still awesome other than the crit max thing

[latent eagle]

Okay so this is the first time I’m doing MM past 1200 points bc I need champion spirits, I don’t need the full 10,000 just up to 9500 is good for me but uh I can’t get past Bruno or Karen and I’m not sure what teams/parameters to do

Also don’t think I can really lvl up too many units if their lvl 100 so—

[white gale]

you can off type Bruno with Ash + Volkner during Round 3

you can try Olivia against Karen or off-type with SST Red (prob better if you can't raise Olivia's levels)

Cyrus + May make short work of Lance

[latent eagle]

Any ideas for the parameters bc I don't know what to pick for any of them and they just feel too strong with what I pick to make them unbeatable

[steel kelp]

[white gale]

you can use pre-sync parameters for those teams

[steel kelp]

You can try 850 or 1500 to start

If you feel confident you can redo it with 2k

[zealous karma]

A tiny

[void wyvern]

Only a tiny issue that results in him dying after 1. But if you kill the enemy they can’t kill you!

[white gale]

Ash and SST Red are self-sufficient, so you can use Skyla with Ash+Volkner against Bruno and SSA Cynthia with SST Red vs Karen. They buff up your defenses and can potion so you should be able to win easily

Don't use SSA Cynthia against Bruno

[latent eagle]

this is all I got, I have to redo it aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA

The fun part is I don’t even remember the parameters I did for everyone

[mellow linden]

Eh, the difference between 7.5k and 10k is basically nonexistent rewards-wise

[latent eagle]

I’m trying to get the champion spirits, the whole reason I’m doing MM is for them bc I’m low and I wanna make sure I can EX units for EB’s

[mellow linden]

I really wouldn't prioritize EBEs for choosing EXs

IMO it's a stretch to even call them relevant content, since their sole purpose is as an advertisement

[latent eagle]

I’m f2p, EB’s give good gems and being a f2p player to win them I need to usually EX certain units so I need champion spirits

• I’ve already EXed the units I want mostly

[mellow linden]

We're talking like 300 gems in most cases since Part 1 is usually fairly unproblematic, that's a fraction of a fraction of what we usually get each month.

If you really want to push yourself more than is necessary for that then feel free, I just don't recommend it

[latent eagle]

An EB is 2 parts usually tho, that’s 600 gems and last month gave us an EB of 6 entire battles for 1800 gems, yeah sure it might not be much but again f2p here, I need all the gems I can get for units I want/to save for when a unit comes back

[mellow linden]

I just said Part 1 is usually fairly unproblematic, that's where the "300 gems in most cases" is from since the gems are split between the 2 parts

[latent eagle]

I'm sure it's not your intent but your coming off as "don't bother doing the harder levels unless your a whale" when they ARE doable as f2p and good gems FOR f2p, this conversation now has completely shifted from CS MM to EB's and gems....

[mellow linden]

I'm saying don't worry too much about going further than you feel comfortable with on CS just because of EBEs, apologies if it sounded like something else

Unfortunately I'll be unavailable for a bit, but if you decide to reset CS and go for more points and that's still going when I'm available I'd be happy to assist

[latent eagle]

I'm gonna look for some vids on YT but ill pop back in here if need help!

[warped jungle]

This looks kinda sad....

[mellow linden]

How so?

[warped jungle]

Almost a year

And only 11/18...

[warped jungle]

Poison team was clutch ngl

[mellow linden]

Just means you need to bring 7 types this week, no big deal

[warped jungle]

Yeah... I'm unable to use all of those remaining types.

Ghost and dark got no support units

They just there

[mellow linden]

So just bring a competent duo and slot in a random Sync Pair to fill the type (or in Ghost’s case just use a Ghost damage-dealer)

[sinful garden]

i mean there is a dark weak stage next week

if you have karen and houndoom you could use them

[warped jungle]

This what I came up with for now.

[warped jungle]

I do have em

[sinful garden]

for ghost just do what cobalt said

[sinful garden]

she is great after her grid upgrade

[warped jungle]

Which rock dps is better?? 1/5 Olivia or 2/5 Kukui ?

[warped jungle]

Nah she 1/5 bro

[mellow linden]

Could do Helena/Karen/Support

Well, maybe not Karen there since Will has Impervious

Could do Karen instead of Acerola on the Cyrus team

[sinful garden]

then for dark you might have to offtype because the only other f2p dark options are masked royal and sidney, and masked royal also wants those debuffs

[mellow linden]

They’re working on teams for this week

11/18 is what they had coming in from previous Johto runs

[sinful garden]

ooohhh

i thought that screenshot was from this week, didnt look at the dates

[warped jungle]

Yeah. I don't wanna stretch it further

The screenshot in question 👀

[warped jungle]

[civic trellis]

I think my parameters were post sync ones but instead of no stat reduction and ally healing 5 I did strength 1 and max hp +2
