And is he Power Boosted?

zealous karma
#

(By not fun to use I mean she is difficult to use lel)

#

oh wait wh zinnia without weather

formal musk
#

yup i have silver + powerboost

zealous karma
#

Zinnia with weather should one shot sides

#

with DA

mellow linden
#

If you have 3/5 Hilbert or Sonia then one of them + Silver + Blaine or another Sun setter

zealous karma
#

zinnia might be easier as she is on type

mellow linden
#

Can do a different grid and run Skyla instead of Hilbert/Sonia if neither are 3/5

mellow linden
#

But at least the option is there

formal musk
#

ok ill do that

zealous karma
#

Hop Zinnia Winona is good you have the crutch of flinches on sides even if she does not one shot

mellow linden
#

Ah, true, that could work

zealous karma
#

I would save silver for a "harder" fight

#

But this week seems very doable entirely F2P

#

Might run out of crit buffers nvm pain+

marsh crater
#

Finally i reach master

spring fable
#

Grats!

old orchid
#

We need a f2p strong bug dps so that people will not struggle on Bug CS stages SerenaSip

#

or learn how to use Bugsy abd Noland lel

keen silo
#

Trying EX Lusamine on that for 2k

#

otherwise its off typing again

steel kelp
#

burghBurghLuck

old orchid
#

Going to use either Sabrina or SS Elesa as a support for special Bug types on Karen BlueYea

They are weak to Dark PrycePain

keen silo
#

Worked out anyway 😉

steel kelp
#

Looks like she’s already dead

#

But if it works it works

keen silo
#

Endurance 💪

weak sleet
#

Is there a better way to build this? Lysandre doesn't seem good and I don't have many good flying types.

old orchid
#

How many types have you filled in the type medal?

dusty path
#

8 😂

drifting steppe
#

Does it want you to deal physical or special damage?

weak sleet
#

None I don't have challenge mode unlocked yet.

old orchid
drifting steppe
drifting steppe
weak sleet
#

Oh this is round 4

old orchid
#

You can do stall

weak sleet
#

Which is status conditions

old orchid
#

With Skyla as a tank

drifting steppe
#

is flinch a status condition

dusty path
#

Flinch is status change/interference, but the round parameter mentions them too

old orchid
#

I think it boosts flinch duration?

toxic cobalt
#

Don't think so

old orchid
#

Well it boosts dmg from poison so stalling is the best answer

#

Using Koga and Viola means you get Poison and Bug type filled

#

Unless you used a Bug dmg dealer on Karen

dusty path
#

If this is round 4, how many medal types do you still have to complete? (I don't remember if the ones you've done this week count toward the 8 or not)

old orchid
#

Yeah we need to know your type medal

keen silo
weak sleet
#

Probably was overkill

#

With Aaron as support

keen silo
#

For hard mode yeah, could've maybe slotted in a type filler

old orchid
#

Yeah...

#

So for round 4, do you have BP Erika? Or Lodge Lillie?

weak sleet
#

I have both of those

old orchid
#

So Janine - BP Erika - Skyla

#

For round 4

stray sentinel
#

Need to use Karen specifically but wondering if another support would help.

old orchid
#

Do you have a better tank?

#

Preferly the one which doesnt have a type filled in the medal yet

keen silo
#

Idk if 2/5 karen can access the Satisfied Snarl 9 grid

#

But if she can, you dont really need nanu

weak sleet
old orchid
stray sentinel
#

Dang

stray sentinel
keen silo
#

Ah rip

old orchid
#

This is hard mode so you dont need to bring Nanu

#

Find a good spdef tank

keen silo
#

(you can just ignore the def gimmick )

steel kelp
#

Or just someone else

#

For type medal

stray sentinel
old orchid
#

Yeah you need to fill most type possible

#

Oh dang Water is filled

#

Will stage uses special so BP Morty is a bit waste

keen silo
#

would suggest roxanne if he can upgrade it

old orchid
#

Yeah, but she needs 4*

#

Can still use Elio

#

Oh right which round are you in? @stray sentinel

keen silo
old orchid
#

Should try Roxanne first yeah

keen silo
#

@stray sentinel do you have enough 3* powerups to upgrade Roxanne?

toxic cobalt
#

Just run without powerups if needed, it's hard mode

white gale
#

PSA dont misread round 1 parameters and fight Bruno first

zealous karma
reef sierra
#

My 2nd 10k /1st johto 10k 😭 finally

swift swan
#

congrats! don't forget to post it in #1010274591601598555

zealous karma
#

Wth bullying

#

What did johtk ever do to you

molten nimbus
#

^ 😭

swift swan
reef sierra
#

not being sinnoh/hoenn 😂

marsh crater
#

For master i dun need to care about medal right?

dark osprey
#

medal is needed to access Master mode for a region and is one time for a region. then its anything goes

marsh crater
#

Let do it hoo hah

#

2000 point per elite four for full reward?

zealous karma
#

If you want to sure check the pins if you need recommendations for parameters and if you want help choosing units for teams I’ll be here but not for much linger

swift swan
#

it gives you the best rewards

fiery agate
#

This isn’t working at all

gilded stream
#

I don’t think silver don’t do much in off types😅 correct me if I am wrong!

old orchid
old orchid
gilded stream
#

Ok. If sun is up before his sync he can do more damage. Right? Anyway his sync will bring sun up but will that be effective as former?

fiery agate
#

Sun is alr up before his sync

old orchid
#

what params are you using?

fiery agate
#

Pre sync

old orchid
#

sun from his passive will always fade away before next sync

old orchid
#

+4 atk is fine tho

#

is your Skyla EXed?

fiery agate
#

No

#

I’m still relatively new everything is so weak

#

Pure pain

#

Reduced parameters to 1k and it worked better

old orchid
#

well for new players aim for lower goal first: like 4.2k points

fiery agate
#

Needs tips for Koga next

#

Currently using Hop, Pigeot blue and Zinnia

old orchid
#

is Zinnia power boosted?

fiery agate
#

I think so

#

Maybe not

old orchid
#

can she mega evolve?

#

cuz her power boost was being able to mega evolve

fiery agate
#

Clutched it thank god

#

Yeah mega evolved

#

Just Bruno and Lance left

toxic cobalt
hollow goblet
#

For 1500 Koga would a skyla-EX sync or Blue Pidgeot sync be better? I'm doing post sync, cos I figured Blur's output only comes after mega

sand karma
hollow goblet
#

Thank you!

zealous karma
void wyvern
#

Solar flare 9 really just hits hard.

zealous karma
#

You just have to quad quad queue

old orchid
#

Did you sync with Skyla?

zealous karma
#

Not I didn’t

#

I also recorded it

old orchid
#

Oh nice

zealous karma
#

I always wondered why Karen always seemed to flinch me I didn’t know she had aggravation

#

Also I didn’t crit the sharpedo twice which whicu pain

void wyvern
#

Poma tools says she doesn’t. I think the game just likes flinching you.

toxic cobalt
#

Man Koga hits hard post-synce

stray sentinel
#

Any suggestions or guidance to not get sunk by Karen’s sync move ?

marsh crater
#

Umbreon stored attack is pain

#

Before that it do sure crit up

versed meteor
#

Did 6k with this teams, am i under using them if so how can i use them to get to 10k

toxic cobalt
swift swan
stray sentinel
#

faulkner?

toxic cobalt
stray sentinel
#

he has dire hit all so I am assuming thats whats misisng?

#

I did viola to reduce special attack

#

n trap

swift swan
versed meteor
#

Ok let me try then

toxic cobalt
#

What is the state of Noland, is he gridded?

stray sentinel
#

Now, what do I do about lusamine getting one shot in the sync?

toxic cobalt
#

If not I recommend switching to Bugsy

swift swan
stray sentinel
#

ohh i got you

swift swan
#

I really can't envision a world where Lusamine lives a sync, I'm sorry AcerolaPensive

#

Maybe I'm being too harsh on Lusamine lmao

stray sentinel
toxic cobalt
swift swan
#

But let's not try LusamineLurking

stray sentinel
#

Dang lusamine , even with grid she sucks defensively?

swift swan
#

Yes

#

Very good offensively though

#

High offenses, good gauge management, can do dual strike pretty well

toxic cobalt
#

If you got a 3/5 Burgh, use that instead of Lusamine

stray sentinel
#

oh no its karen LOL nvm

mellow linden
#

Lusamine is the glass cannon

swift swan
#

You look up glass canon in the urban dictionary and it'll have her picture underneath SeleneLul

stray sentinel
#

see problem is when I kill karen the other pairs wild out with their attacks

swift swan
#

In that case, Lillie barely adds anything

#

Any other bug damage dealer that you can run alongside Lusamine?

marsh crater
#

How to kill karen? At 850 still cant kill that umbreon

mellow linden
#

What team are you using?

marsh crater
#

I run aaron noland viola

mellow linden
#

Is Aaron 2/5 or higher?

marsh crater
#

Aaron 1/5

#

I dunno what to use

mellow linden
#

Is Hop gridded, and can you get Bugsy and Noland to level 120 and grid them?

marsh crater
#

Hop fully gridded

#

Noland half gridded

#

Bugsy lvl 1

mellow linden
#

Can you level 120 and grid Bugsy?

marsh crater
#

Today cant

#

Maybe in few days

mellow linden
#

Alright, probably better to off-type then if you want to clear the fight today

marsh crater
#

I can level him. But sync orb is scarce

mellow linden
#

Grid is the important part, unfortunately

marsh crater
#

Yea i know

marsh crater
#

Still not clear bruno and karen

stray sentinel
#

all my bug babies

marsh crater
#

My mewtwo not fully gridded

mellow linden
#

Do you have Bianca?

marsh crater
#

No bianca

#

What about bruno?

mellow linden
#

That's why I was asking about Bianca

marsh crater
#

I tried sycamore giovani sabrina

#

I dun have bianca. Bianca for bruno?

mellow linden
#

Without her it might be a little hard since your Giovanni isn't fully gridded, but plenty doable

#

Sycamore and Sabrina is redundant, you'll wanna pick one or the other and replace the one you get rid of with a Defense buffer like Skyla

marsh crater
#

Maybe can put ss blue, sycamore, giovani

swift swan
mellow linden
#

That can work

toxic cobalt
#

Seems wasteful

swift swan
#

Other strong offtype damage dealers?

spring fable
#

i used sabrina gio and skyla

marsh crater
#

Sabrina only 1/5

stray sentinel
toxic cobalt
#

1/5 is fine

mellow linden
#

That's all she needs

toxic cobalt
#

You don't have grid anywa

mellow linden
#

If you're sticking with Sabrina then do Sabrina/Giovanni/Skyla if Skyla's still available

swift swan
marsh crater
#

Giovani have to be fully grid first

mellow linden
#

Tank with Skyla

mellow linden
swift swan
#

You said you could kill Karen but not the sides, right

marsh crater
#

By the time umbreon faint. Im just left with half life pinsir

mellow linden
#

Could you show your remaining available Strikers/Techs?

stray sentinel
mellow linden
#

I think if you want to do the fight today then off-typing is your best bet

mellow linden
stray sentinel
#

ty guys

#

is blue w pidgeot a good flying attacker or winona hurrican hits harder?

mellow linden
#

Blue + Pidgeot is fine

toxic cobalt
#

Is Blue 2/5?

marsh crater
#

How about silver and ss erika?

toxic cobalt
#

And gridded?

mellow linden
marsh crater
#

Nope

stray sentinel
#

blue is 1/5

marsh crater
#

I missed the event

mellow linden
#

Sadly

marsh crater
#

Owh mannn

stray sentinel
#

I can grid a 1/5 blue + pdgeot

marsh crater
#

Solgaleo?

mellow linden
#

Definitely not

marsh crater
#

What u mean off type?

stray sentinel
#

Like not the recommended type

mellow linden
#

Clear using a type that's not super-effective

#

Can you show your remaining available Strikers/Techs?

stray sentinel
#

Do you have SS Red and a sun setter, would that work?

marsh crater
mellow linden
#

Doesn't matter

stray sentinel
#

You'd be surprised hwo good 3 stars are

mellow linden
#

Oh, some are great, just usually not for off-typing

stray sentinel
#

I do have a winona at 2/5 maybe ill grid her and replace blue with her for now

swift swan
#

When we ask to screenshot your box, we assume you own all the 3 and 4*s

#

At least, the non-limited ones

#

To avoid clutter

toxic cobalt
#

Not feeling 1/5 Blue or 2/5 Winona

stray sentinel
#

ko

stray sentinel
marsh crater
toxic cobalt
#

Boosted Zinnia?

swift swan
#

Is this about Koga? Remember he has high sp defense

#

Pffft, Anni Steven

#

He works

#

Perfectly

mellow linden
#

Did you already use Champ Serena?

stray sentinel
stray sentinel
marsh crater
stray sentinel
#

oh my bad

mellow linden
marsh crater
#

Yea may still available

#

I dunno how did i even got kris 3/5

mellow linden
#

Oh wait

swift swan
# stray sentinel yuo

Either powerboosted Zinnia if you have her, Kahili if you're willing to invest the orbs, or just offtype it I suppose

mellow linden
#

Ah, wait, can't do much gridding

#

Is Cyrus already gridded?

marsh crater
#

Cyrus not gridded.

marsh crater
#

Ghetsis also not gridded

#

Palkia is strong

swift swan
mellow linden
marsh crater
#

0 at the moment

stray sentinel
marsh crater
#

Used all on nolan.

mellow linden
#

Ok, then either wait or Poison stall it is

swift swan
# stray sentinel I have kahli,

Hmmm yknow what, she may be a bit hard to work with. Personally I don't have much experiences with Kahili myself
hides my barely level 100 Kahili

toxic cobalt
#

Sometimes you gotta stall

#

1/5 Kahili won't do it

marsh crater
#

Lucy not gridded

swift swan
stray sentinel
#

no kahli

swift swan
#

Oh

marsh crater
#

Ok if i reset and do karen first

stray sentinel
#

I guess 2.5 winona with some grid work?

marsh crater
#

Whats the team?

swift swan
#

I think Zinnia is better then, if she's powerboosted (has access to mega)

mellow linden
marsh crater
#

Will i dunno who to use

mellow linden
toxic cobalt
stray sentinel
#

ok

marsh crater
#

Then poison team is?

mellow linden
swift swan
# stray sentinel ok

If you don't have access to Zinnia & Mega Rayquaza, then yeah, offtype or stall

mellow linden
#

Team would be Lucy/Janine/a tank, grids don't matter on Lucy/Janine

marsh crater
#

Just level em up to 130?

mellow linden
#

Level 120

stray sentinel
#

tough part is getting the type medals used.

#

I dont even have a good ground type or posion type that I know of

swift swan
toxic cobalt
swift swan
mellow linden
#

It's only 850 points, just grab enough Defense/Max HP/shield parameters to hit 850

marsh crater
swift swan
mellow linden
#

If Lucy doesn't Poison the center on her 1st Poison Fang, restart the fight. Janine spams Venom Drench until the entire enemy team is at -6 Attack/Sp. Atk./Speed. Lucy Poisons and traps all opponents. Tank just sits there and stays alive

marsh crater
mellow linden
#

That can work

swift swan
#

Make sure Sycamore has recuperation on grid

mellow linden
#

Just make sure Sycamore has his Recuperation tile

swift swan
#

Keep syncing with hin

marsh crater
#

Recuperation, he didnt need healing hand isnt it?

swift swan
#

Not needed in this fight

spring fable
#

which e4 is he trying to poison stall?

stray sentinel
#

recup heals him on sync i thinl

mellow linden
#

Karen

marsh crater
#

Ok impervious and recuperation then

#

Ok im gonna set em up

mellow linden
#

I've recommended to save her for Round 4 and do Bruno for Round 3

marsh crater
#

Save who?

mellow linden
#

Karen

marsh crater
#

What u mean by round?

mellow linden
#

Take Karen on last of the Elite 4

swift swan
#

Anyway, I really need to go to sleep right now, I gotta wake up early tomorrow because for once I'm going outside and touching grass and being busy ever since uni break VolknerDed night all, good luck MallowHeart

spring fable
#

night nov!

mellow linden
#

Since the extra benefit for the 4th Elite 4 fight means Poison and Trap will deal more damage

marsh crater
#

Ohh

stray sentinel
#

night ty

marsh crater
#

Then my worries is bruno

#

Sabrina giovani and….?

mellow linden
#

It's only 850, Sabrina/Giovanni/ a good physical tank will be fine

#

Skyla is my recommendation if you're using Sycamore for the stall team

marsh crater
#

Physical tank, hop can?

keen jasper
mellow linden
#

They don't have Bianca

keen jasper
#

Hmmmm

marsh crater
#

Wait im gonna see if skyla available

mellow linden
keen jasper
#

Then I guess a defense buffer

marsh crater
#

Sadly no

#

Hop giovani sabrina?

mellow linden
#

Should be fine

marsh crater
#

Or sabrina giovani ss blue

keen jasper
#

And with Hop's TM, you don't need to use Giovanni's TM

mellow linden
#

Do you have your team for Lance planned out already?

marsh crater
#

Ah

#

No

#

Headache to make team

stray sentinel
#

you will get it

mellow linden
#

Save Hop for now and use SS Blue then

#

IMO

marsh crater
#

Lance, hop hau and….?

mellow linden
#

Roxanne

keen jasper
#

Yeah Roxanne, because she buffs both speed and Sp. Atk.

marsh crater
#

Hop hau roxanne then

keen jasper
#

And she also buffs defense too

marsh crater
#

Roxanne no need grid?

#

How to use her wide guard tho?

mellow linden
#

Don't use it until after center goes down

marsh crater
#

So aim for center first?

toxic cobalt
#

Almost always

keen jasper
#

Yes

mellow linden
#

Yes, that's generally the best method

marsh crater
#

In the meantime spam ancient power?

keen jasper
#

But Hau's Discharge is AoE so you don't need to worry about the sides

mellow linden
#

Once all her buffs have been used, yeah

marsh crater
#

Cause hau raichu discharge probably killed side first

#

Hop grid?

mellow linden
#

Trainer Move MP Refresh and all Potion tiles on Hop

marsh crater
#

Hau i didnt grid. But maybe ill try grid for discharge

mellow linden
#

It's only 850, Hau's grid doesn't matter rn

marsh crater
#

Hop i use gradual heal tile and some behemoth power up

#

Potion refresh too

mellow linden
#

Don't bother buffing his damage, get his "Hop to It!" MP Refresh tile and all his Potion tiles

marsh crater
#

Oh

#

And other go to stat?

#

Other important tile i need to get beside potion and hop to it

toxic cobalt
#

Those are the important ones

#

Save you Corb for elsewhre

hot shadow
#

Stat/bp tiles are generally not important

#

Not as important as skills, anyway

#

So picking them when you're low on orbs isn't the best idea

marsh crater
#

Well i already have 750 hop orb

#

Well maybe i put it on his sync move

#

Sync tile

#

+25 means 25% dmg boost?

hot shadow
#

He's a support most of the time, you won't sync with him before he gets his EX

#

+25 means +25 base power

fiery agate
marsh crater
#

In fight with lance. Hop hau roxanne. Whose sync move should i use?

void wyvern
#

Hau

fiery agate
#

What’s the general strat for Bruno?

hot shadow
fiery agate
void wyvern
#

Giovanni cleans up Bruno.

fiery agate
#

Ah ok

#

What are good combinations with Giovanni?

void wyvern
#

Bring gio, any special Atk buffer and either psychic terrain or sp def debuffer

toxic cobalt
#

Usually Sabrina and Bianca, if you don't have Sabrina add Roxanne, if you don't have Bianca add a tank

void wyvern
#

Rotom or Sabrina will do just fine.

#

But Bianca is important

toxic cobalt
fiery agate
#

Like this?

fiery agate
hot shadow
#

Bianca tanks better than Sabrina byw

void wyvern
#

Definitely need to level them up. But you have the idea

#

If you can grid, grab CS3 off gio’s grid.

fiery agate
#

Yeah ofc hahaha

fiery agate
void wyvern
#

That’s alright. If the team doesn’t work without grids there is always tomorrow

fiery agate
#

My goal is 1k points only anyways. Should’ve manageable

void wyvern
#

Oh definitely.

toxic cobalt
#

Remember to use psychic terrain as Bianca's third move

#

and sixth move

void wyvern
#

May take a few tries because close combat go brrrrrr but you got this!

hot shadow
void wyvern
#

I think so you get more uptime after sync with terrain.

toxic cobalt
hot shadow
#

Fair

fiery agate
toxic cobalt
#

hoo hah!

void wyvern
#

What happened to your health bar? Asks Bruno

#

What round are you on?

fiery agate
#

God knows how many tries lol

#

I’m not quad queuing very well

#

Ok I’m giving up for today

void wyvern
#

You mean triple queuing?

marsh crater
#

For ss blue sabrina giovani. Who is the first tank?

dark osprey
#

Ss blue. But that comp seems a bit redundant with both ss blue and Sabrina together

hot shadow
#

SSBlue is much bulkier than Sabrina

#

One of the bulkiest pairs in the game

dark osprey
#

Guess you don't have Bianca yet

hot shadow
dark osprey
#

Not much yeah but could probably get some other support/zone or disruptor maybe

marsh crater
#

Bruno close combat just one shot crit my sycamore

#

This guy is crazy i tell u

keen jasper
#

Well, what are the chances of that happening

dark osprey
#

I mean Sabrina with ssb would just be there for buffing sp atk. Can use a cheaper support for that or keep Sabrina and use a defense buffer/healer or sleeper

#

Can always do the classic f2p core of gio and Rosa

marsh crater
#

Yea it works

#

Ss blue giovani sabrina

#

Really need to use reflect before bruno sync move

#

Defense from blastoise need at least one mp refresh

#

Blastoise endure only occur once per battle?

fiery agate
#

This does put a smile on my face

#

6.2k

void wyvern
sand karma
fiery agate
#

ive done 2k on that team dont worry haha

sand karma
#

Oh i read it wrong sorry

fiery agate
#

the rest of the teams less prepared for 2k

sand karma
fiery agate
#

1 step closer to 10k in the future CynthiaSmug

#

theoretically you can beat 10k with free mons right? If so i don't need to be so concerned about getting limited mons

sand karma
#

Johto ? Certainly

#

There's some weird stuff in Sinnoh & Hoenn you should just be prepared to offtype

fiery agate
#

so having at least some powerful limited nukes would be ideal just in case

sand karma
#

cough sentry entry steel weak Glacia cough

sand karma
#

But mostly just focus on favorites and filling types

fiery agate
#

my favourites are all in SInnoh so might have to wait for a while until i get new good pairs

sand karma
#

Same

fiery agate
#

i guess the silver lining is that i can save up more gems if im disciplined enough

#

did u pull Dawn lol

sand karma
fiery agate
#

and im most certainly a cynthia simp too

fiery agate
sand karma
# fiery agate did u pull Dawn lol

I joined September
So i only got Lucas from the paid scout
Waiting for SSCyrus and SSDawn rerun in paid scouts
And SSRCynthia return which should be soon

fiery agate
#

i joined Sep too eyy

#

spent all gems on Cynthia Lucario t

sand karma
#

I spent gems unwisely and ended up with only Ash at that time

#

Anyway I think we shouldnt be having this conversation in this channel

fiery agate
#

yes lmao sorry everyone

marsh crater
#

Beat karen. And like always only xerneas left to live

desert berry
#

Hello wht’s a good Will comp?

rotund lagoon
#

CCalem, CSerena and Nessa are good.

desert berry
rotund lagoon
#

And for nuke, do Serena when Dark. You can also do Calem first if he’s EX’d

desert berry
#

He’s not EXed yet

rotund lagoon
#

Serena’s fine then.

#

She got one hell of a nuke (or two cause it’s good for both types)

desert berry
#

Okay! Who will be my tanker?

rotund lagoon
#

Calem.

#

He’s the only Support on that team, so have him do it.

desert berry
#

I wonder who should I be using for these 4

#

Can random fillers work?

zealous karma
#

Those look like poison stall types

#

Hype

rotund lagoon
desert berry
#

Haven’t really startrd

Oh wait there’s ice there

It’s so hidden

desert berry
rotund lagoon

Bug and Psychic are covered by the weaknesses of this week.

zealous karma
#

Oh you can get all 15 types

#

2 of those are on type too

#

Do you have Gio, and do you have bugsy (preferably gridded) ?

desert berry
#

I don’t really have a good bug pair i think

rotund lagoon
#

You got Bugsy.

#

And Noland.

desert berry
zealous karma
#

That is the psychic roster ever

#

Very nice

desert berry
#

I wonder where I can get my last Mew pair for 5/5

rotund lagoon
#

Did you not finish the bingo?

desert berry
#

But apparently I only have Mew at 4/5

rotund lagoon
#

Did you check the exchange???

zealous karma
#

Bianca + Gio + Roxanne
Bugsy hop bpjanine
Ghetsus Serena Calem for dark

desert berry
#

I can’t find the last exchange thing

Wait im confused on the first and second team. Who are they for?

zealous karma
#

Bianca Gio for psychic
Bugsy for bug

desert berry
#

Oddly enough having Ghetsis on team doesn’t count as Ice

civic trellis
#

It does?

zealous karma
#

If that image loaded I’d be confused

desert berry
#

Oh wait

#

It does

zealous karma
#

He is counting for ice

desert berry
#

the ice piece is so hard to look at SophoKEK

#

It camouflages

#

Never mind never mind

zealous karma
#

With Serena cycle one you’d use TM then cycle second water shuriken then cycle 3rd brutal swing

#

Ghetsus spam noble roar i@hope@you have double drop gridded

zealous karma
#

I know manny people who have forgotten to get ice down because it always looked marked off, I always do ice week one of a new CS just in case

Here’s this btw

#

Grid Double Drop on the bottom

desert berry
#

Oh um

People use paralysis syngerh Ghetsus?

Trying to think about Noland… HilbertHmm

What’s wrong with bugsy?

He’s been the source of my easiest bug week experiences even got him to 3K clear once tillerIRL

It was the easiest part of that 3K run still can’t explain how lilblurry

It was against bug week grimsley

In a comp like that Bugsy handles Sync nuke

Oh i don’t think i picked bp janine

also what does Noland do in the team with Bugsy if Bugsy is my main striker

#

Oh okay what should i be spamming for Hop and Bugsy?

void wyvern
#

Hop’s tm. bugsy tm twice and use sure crit.

desert berry
#

Thank you!

zealous karma
#

If bugsy is gridded he probably one shots center mon at least mine did

void wyvern
#

Bugsy should do a ton of damage, especially on mid.

zealous karma
#

As soon as bugsy Ex comes out instant 20/20

void wyvern
#

20/20 anyways?

zealous karma
#

No

void wyvern
steel kelp

Wow Bugsy deals A LOT of dmg

#

Bugsy got the big buff

desert berry
#

Now on to Bruno! lisiaexcited

void wyvern
#

Good luck!

desert berry
#

How does the sequence of moves work

steel kelp
#

oh hard mode

void wyvern
# desert berry

We can swap roxxane out for a type you haven’t used, if you’d like.

desert berry
#

I only have Poison left for pieces if I finish Bruno. I wonder who should I be investing

#

Oh okay that works

void wyvern
#

Giovanni is pretty damn good.

desert berry
void wyvern
#

You have the only option we need. Janine

#

She’s a bit underwhelming on her own. But venom drench is hilarously broken.

#

Can you show the rest of your supports?

desert berry
#

But I guess ill be using Janine for the Poison piece

steel kelp
#

wheres the upgrade screen

desert berry
zealous karma
#

Idt there’s a poison support in the game apart from BP janine lel

desert berry
#

Ooof

#

I guess I’ll be getting her the next BP tix I get

void wyvern
#

We just need a good suppprt

#

This strategy is a bit gimmicky.

zealous karma
#

Roxanne is a good support angry

void wyvern
#

Roxanne actually does just solve your issues.

#

Setup using X def and then her tm twice. X defence can come again after sync.

Gio does tm twice and either confusion or psychic.

Now he’s the tricky part. Janine needs to poison mid early so you can start using venom drench and debuff Bruno.

desert berry
#

So no Bianca

#

?

void wyvern
#

Not in this comp.

#

It’s very unorthodox.

desert berry
#

Okay! I tried one time and failed lmao

#

With Bianca

void wyvern
#

You need cross poison to poison super early on for this to work.

desert berry
#

It kinda worked that one time but oh well

#

Mewtwo dies anyways so let me bring Roxanne

zealous karma
#

You could just fit in Janine into your koga or lance team tillerIRL

desert berry
#

Which sync should i be using. Gio or Roxannes?

void wyvern
#

Gio

zealous karma
#

Gio, Roxanne doesn’t have Ex and even if she did you’d best be off syncing with Gio in an in type scenario for it Gio was Ex hed sude deny

desert berry
#

Oh

void wyvern
#

Does gio have a grid?

desert berry
#

Yes using his Pyschic grid

void wyvern
#

The one from the doc?

desert berry
#

Yes that one

void wyvern
#

Should be solid.

desert berry
#

Let me try your suggestion

void wyvern
#

But Roxanne/Janine/Mewtwo should be able to win with ease given the luck.

#

Just restart until you get the sneaky poison on Bruno and then lower his stats with venom drench. If you have stones we can grid janine so she has an easier time poisoning

desert berry
#

Phew I won

#

Roxanne died

#

Bruno got poisoned the first attack Janine did so pepenutts

void wyvern
#

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

desert berry
#

Thanks Joey!

#

Now only need to defeat Koga and Lance

void wyvern
#

Happy to help!

#

So what’s the plan for those 2?

desert berry
#

I have no idea tbh

zealous karma
#

Do you have silver power boost?

#

And do you have hau

desert berry
#

Silver Ho oh? Yes

zealous karma
#

Use skyla Blaine silver and
Hau Sabrina Volkner for lance

desert berry
#

Hau? W_MonkasTaoA

zealous karma
#

Hau is really good

desert berry
#

I don’t think I have Hau. What’s his role?

void wyvern
#

He’s free.

#

Striker

zealous karma
#

Alolan raichu

desert berry
#

Oh no I don’t have him yet

void wyvern
#

He’s from the main story.

#

Just go slap through a few stages and grab him.

zealous karma
#

Complete the story it offers very competent units

desert berry
#

Which part

zealous karma
#

Acerola Skyla Hau Cheren Calem

#

All of it preferably

desert berry
#

After ch. 10?

#

Oh okay

zealous karma
#

Chapter 11

desert berry
#

Oh let me do it real quick then

#

And which Volkner

steel kelp
#

You haven’t cleared story?

desert berry
#

Until Ch10 only

#

Got Hau now

#

Do I need him to be 3/5?

#

And gridded though?

civic trellis
#

For main story? No

#

Maybe for end game stuff

steel kelp
#

story is piss easy

desert berry
#

No I mean for CS

steel kelp
#

you can get through without grids

civic trellis
#

He’s a 4* striker tho and those r alot easier to get than 5* candies

civic trellis
desert berry
#

Just Hard

steel kelp
#

hard

civic trellis
#

Hmm idk, probably

#

I struggled w kanto CS when I was new but it may be different for u

desert berry
#

I do have 4 4* striker candies to spare

#

So I guess might as well

#

Though sync orbs wise

zealous karma
desert berry
zealous karma
#

Just grab this if you can

desert berry
#

How does the move sequence go for with Lance battle

#

With Hau Sabrina Volkner

zealous karma
#

Idk if Sabrina is 3/5 or not but if she’s not then maybe replace her for someone that can max crit and buff SpAtk do you have CGio?

desert berry
zealous karma
#

Actually I’d use CRed instead

desert berry
#

CGio?

zealous karma
#

Persian but you don’t see to have him

desert berry
#

I don’t think I have any of those mentioned

zealous karma
#

Hau TM twice then X Spatk from hau, CRed TM twice on hau heal in case low, thunder fang spam until hau sync then use electric terrain

desert berry

Oh he’s CRed

No electric terrain?

dark osprey
# swift swan def/sp def, by a long shot

Personally not sure about that. Is it really by a long shot? I had the same question then decided to try it out manually with just those separately and seemed the damage was kinda the same

#

Especially since def/sp def up1 is 50 pts and strength up1 is 100 pts

onyx ice
#

If you have like strength+9 then the impact of def/spdef +1 is higher compared to strength+1

#

In that case def/spdef +1 will impact almost as strength +2 (ignoring the offensive buffs)

zealous karma
#

He’s doing his best?

old orchid
#

EX him

onyx ice
#

Since his DPS is atrocious, 6ex is his only saving grace

eternal lodge
#

I already tried the ex around 2 months ago or so with rotom and yampier. With 1 support sync with se up and almost -6 def and spe on rival it did around 26k

onyx ice
#

But i feel sa Brock is in that spot that he needs the ex to be usable, but isn't definitely worth it

swift swan
#

first pic is with defense/sp def 1, second pic is with Strength 1. okay, definitely not by a long shot but it really adds up

#

sure the strength 1 adds some extra HP but it's nothing a single extra hit or high damage rolls can't kill

onyx ice
#

Strength x adds x% to all the stats

#

But it get split for bulk

#

Only strength 1 or def 1 should lead to the same bulk increase

#

Strength is additive but def is multiplicative

#

So strength 1 + 2 + 6 = 90% bulk increase

#

Def 1 + 3 + 5 = 1.1 * 1.3 * 1.5 = 114.5% bulk increase

swift swan
#

strength my beloved

#

thanks for the breakdown SquirtleThumbsUp

I used the sandstorm ones

#

For 6k team. Can i do the same strat as 4.2k? I know i need to grid em especially the dps

#

Its a whole new level. Omg

#

6k so its 1200 each?

toxic cobalt
#

What were your 4.2k strats?

marsh crater
#

Err wait i sc wm

toxic cobalt
#

Those look good!

#

Weakest is Lance

marsh crater
#

Yea weakest is lance. But hop is so good. Once gyarados out he just can behemoth bash the side lane

toxic cobalt
#

so true!

marsh crater
#

I need to get lucky with the potion before gyarados out. That hyperbeam is insane

toxic cobalt
#

I guess Hau is not 3/5?

marsh crater
#

No. Hau at 1/5

toxic cobalt
#

Well anyway, those teams should work! If you can get to 7.5k you get more sync orbs.

marsh crater
#

Oh maybe i can use 4* strike candy for hau? I got 2 so can 3/5 him right away

#

But the sync orb also problem

toxic cobalt
#

I say deal with that problem when you get to it

swift swan
#

Hau sure loves his grid

toxic cobalt
#

Are SS Steven, Sidney, Giovanni, and Sycamore gridded?

swift swan
#

What other 4* strikers are fighting for candies anyway

marsh crater
#

A.steven. Not ss steven. A.steven 2/5, giovani half gridded. Sidney 1/5 not gridded. Sycamore full grid.

swift swan
#

Anni steven 2/5 is fine

#

Probably just grab some dragon ascent tiles and the clear power up if you can afford it

toxic cobalt
#

If you're up for it, try 7.5k. This is 1.5k each, however round 4 is an easy 2k, so you can trim down the others if you hit a wall

marsh crater
#

Ok ill try it. Oh i been using draco meteor build a.steven on my 4.2k round. Thats why i been struggling

swift swan
#

Dragon ascent is better in this case

#

Super effective, plus it's physical

#

Koga has high special defense

marsh crater
#

I am using dragon ascent. But the tile is for draco meteor. Silly me

#

Not even 1 sync orb in all 3* chest

Is there a list that shows what combo of sync pairs can achieve 2k points?

main crow
#

The replays feature

#

On a more serious note, no not really as technically all pairs can with the right set up

#

It depends on your roster

toxic cobalt
#

Yeah almost all pairs can achieve it

#

Just need to build the right teams

teal siren
#

Can I send my roster here and someone kinda help me out those teams together or should I post this somewhere else?

main crow
#

You can post them here

teal siren
#

How should I sort them when I send pics?

main crow
#

Usually the best sorting is by move level

teal siren
#

Here’s my roster. Not sure if any of my 3 stars really matter.

storm moss
#

I know that I've already cleared the stages but are any non EX pairs worth it?

void wyvern
#

Worth what?

storm moss
#

Cus I have been thinking of EXing Volkner but they don't get stat buffs from the actual EX from spirits do they?

main crow
#

Worth the Ex? then CCalem

void wyvern
#

Support ex’s are generally great.

storm moss
#

Ehhh I have too many supports 🙈

void wyvern
#

No such thing as too many supports

storm moss
#

I've got Alister as my next support ready to EX. I've just done Sycamore

#

The rest that I have are mainly 1/5

#

But I have been thinking of EXing Lyra and Dawn

void wyvern
main crow
teal siren
main crow
#

You may need grid for a more comfortable run

void wyvern
#

Grid is probably useful

main crow
#

Like Giovanni you may want his brainteaser and smarty-pants node so lucian's spdef down deals higher damage

teal siren
void wyvern
#

Yes, sync orbs

#

You can get those daily from the training section

main crow
#

You get 900 from there daily unless you bought the bundle tho there are other places like lodge expedition and event shop

toxic cobalt
#

Running on the assumption this is hard mode, grid the strikers first. Actually, could you tell us which units are gridded already?

sand karma
#

Why didn't both of you suggest Blue? Isn't he better than Nate?

main crow
#

Flying koga has high special defense

sand karma

Oh

Idk if i should feel stupid or proud for clearing it with him MinaSmile

Did a 2500 offtype with Dianthie/Excadrill/Archeops.

Not doing mono-type has so much potential for DAMAGE

might be a bit overkill for next week

I had to ex shiny ray. Huhu koga made me do that

#

Really need to 3/5 to unlock sync nuke capabilities to max

rose prism

What challenge to pick for lance?

mellow linden
#

The safest option is probably faster move gauge, but other options may be preferable based on the team you’re using

trail smelt
#

That’s the one Lance picks haha

#

But yeah the other 4 are pretty much irrelevant. Maybe physical damage down or sync buff boost

marsh crater
#

Help again with bruno. 1500 this time. Do i need to get all their level to 140?

#

For will same team is fine. For koga i need to ex A.Steven and use aaron

marsh crater

Do i need to grid for sabrina reflect? Her sixth sense refresh is locked until 2/5 huhu

toxic cobalt

Levels above 100 are minimal

Grid priority is Giovanni

royal walrus

So these teams got me to 7500. Reshiram’s team and the Greninja team both did 2k. I put the other sync pairs that I think are viable in the spares team below. Any suggestions on how I could move people around to try to get to 10k? I can send the 5* I have, but I thought this screenshot might be more helpful. Thank you!

toxic cobalt
#

What move level is Sonia?

royal walrus
#

2

#

I actually did Will for 800 points, and didn't think I'd be able to pass 4k this week. Then I decided to yolo it w/ greninjas and realized I could get them to 2k, so tried to get teams together for 7500

toxic cobalt
#

Please replace Viola with literally anyone else

royal walrus
#

Really? She was kinda key to that comp. Her struggle bug lowered the sp.atk

toxic cobalt
#

What is that comp doing?

royal walrus
#

Surviving 🙂

toxic cobalt
#

True

#

If you want to do damage you can grid up Bugsy for biking

#

Nuking*

#

If you want to go full stall ditch Hop

royal walrus
#

Oh I see. Having Hop and Viola means I'm trying to block physical and spec, and one is probably redundant

toxic cobalt
#

Well Karen does use both, it’s just there are better ways to do both tactics

royal walrus
#

I have Lusamine/Pheromosa and Guzma/Golisopod as my other bug attackers

toxic cobalt
#

They might work!

royal walrus
#

And Bugsby, as well, but just incase either of those were better

toxic cobalt
#

Use whichever one you prefer

royal walrus
#

Okay. So Viola for Lusamine (prefer the boost from Xerneas sync) and then what slot for hop? I don't have much drop sp.def

toxic cobalt
#

Hop is fine, buffs crit

royal walrus
#

Hmm okay, thank you. I think my Lusamine (my preference of the three) needs a lot of love then. Because I tried Hop/Lusamine/Sycamore and the Umbreon's stored power ko's Sycamore. Any suggestions on Will?

toxic cobalt
#

I’m not too familiar with HJasmine, does she buff crit?

mellow linden
mellow linden
royal walrus
#

I used her for Se Up. She has a trainer move to increase Def/Sp.Def, but mine does not do crit

#

Whoa. She does! Look at that. You're right. Whenever she ueses a trainer move

toxic cobalt
#

Well she should be able to get MR to +3 then right?

#

That team should work given you can debuff and potion

royal walrus
#

Yes absolutely

#

Okay cool, I'll play around with trying to give my Karen team some more juice. Thanks for the help!

toxic cobalt
#

If other plans don't work you can poison anyone to death round 4

royal walrus
#

Can you poison for 2k points?

mellow linden
#

Poison stall? Absolutely doable for 2k, there’s even parameters specifically for that in the pins

#

Depending on the stage it can be RNG-heavy, but for Johto CS it shouldn’t be very problematic

royal walrus
#

Okay, I'll probably try that with Karen then because that I think is my hardest team. I see the suggestions in the pin, thank you

same with Electric. either Hau as the main damage dealer or MC Pikachu as a potion slave

oh

#

how do stall teams work?

void wyvern
#

If poison is tricky slot it into the Bruno team as you only need SS Brendan and Gio to sweep it

swift swan
# molten sorrel how do stall teams work?

a unit inflicts poison and/or trap to all 3 opponents. then you debuff the offenses of the enemies to oblivion (attack, special attack, also speed if you can afford it). Venom Drench users like Janine & Ariados is especially good at this. Then you just have a tank that keeps healing itself to outlive the enemy. just watch them die a slow, painful death

molten sorrel
#

ah ic

void wyvern
#

You can still use Maylene as a crit buffer for a single high damage striker and hop makes for a Great Wall.

#

and Hau still clears electric weak
