Champion Stadium

[desert berry]

Teach me the ways professor

[swift swan]

Take the 2k stall parameters, inflict poison (and sometimes plus trap) on all 3 opponents, debuff their offenses to oblivion (this is what Janine's Venom Drench is for) and buff your own defenses and heal when necessary

[desert berry]

Will these 3 work?

[swift swan]

#1011675077764456519 message

[desert berry]

What 2k stall parameters though?

[swift swan]

[swift swan]

Looks good. Grid sycamore with recuperation and keep syncing with him

[desert berry]

Recuperation?

Which one is that?

[toxic cobalt]

Just go horn leech you’ll be fine

[desert berry]

Okay!

[swift swan]

I'd say take the horn leech grid but replace adrenaline with recuperation

Just for extra safety net heals to fall back on

[desert berry]

Okay just did!

[dusty path]

Especially since adrenaline happens once, recup happens every sync

[desert berry]

What’s the 2k stall parameters though

[swift swan]

Pins

[desert berry]

In here?

[swift swan]

It's called status stall

[desert berry]

Oh I see it

[dusty path]

Oop wait no sorry, thought I was in LG

[desert berry]

Thanks!!

[desert berry]

Do you use Janina and Lucy’s TM during the start?

And are both Janine and Lucy needs to be gridded?

[old orchid]

No and no

You need to inflict status asap

[desert berry]

Ohh

[toxic cobalt]

Lucy poison mid -> Janine venom drench -> Sycamore tm
Lucy poison right -> venom drench -> dazzle
Lucy poison left -> venom drench -> horn leech if possible

[desert berry]

What does Wrap do though aside from trapping them?

[toxic cobalt]

Also gridding Lucy for guaranteed poison is a good plan

[toxic cobalt]

Damage

[desert berry]

Oohh okay

Thanks all

[toxic cobalt]

After that you’re just applying wrap venom drenching and horn leeching forever

[desert berry]

Wrap?

If poison is applied will it expire?

And go for wrap skill?

I’m lost with the Wrap skill. Do you use it all the time after they are poisoned from Lucy or will poison expires and use Poison Fang again?

[toxic cobalt]

Poison doesn’t usually expire

Wrap lasts about five moves

[desert berry]

Is Sludge Bomb grid the sure poison grid Aurochs?

[old orchid]

She doesnt need grid

Same to Janine

[desert berry]

[void wyvern]

Just grab hostile environment 1 on the top right with Lucy.

[desert berry]

Yay won it!

Is there a ‘Will-like’ stage that’s kinda straight forward?

[zealous karma]

I think Bruno is pretty easy

But if you have Naomi I’d do Koga round 2

[desert berry]

These are only my Ground units

[zealous karma]

Clay is usable with support Ex

[old orchid]

You can always do offtype

[toxic cobalt]

C'mon. Clay is usable. I cleared trhis week with Clay Surgechu and Marley.

[manic kiln]

I did 2 clears with hapu and clay this week. They just need the right support

[toxic cobalt]

Surgechu and Marley, like I said!

[manic kiln]

Hapu couldn’t 1hko mid tho but Clay

[swift swan]

[swift swan]

can I see your Hapu and Clay clears?

[manic kiln]

Failed to quadqueue tho but still clear

Courtney with dc2 so you can get -6 def faster

[toxic cobalt]

For the record here is my wins including Clay team #1011675077764456519 message

I forgot he could poison initially

[molten sorrel]

Im trying to complete master mode for champ stadium, but in having trouble making teams for each one, and I was wondering if anyone could help build teams for each stage

[toxic cobalt]

Hello!

[swift swan]

Lots of great units already

[toxic cobalt]

have you done any already or is this a fresh strat?

[swift swan]

Oof, did you miss Kali's custom tickets and dupes

[toxic cobalt]

✅ 3/5 Brendan
✅ 3/5 Olivia

[molten sorrel]

fresh start

[molten sorrel]

yes 💀

[toxic cobalt]

Does Brendan have the dauntless lucky skill?

[molten sorrel]

No? But I could try and get it

I just dont really know how the cookies work

so I just slap random ones on some

[toxic cobalt]

If you can get it for him, he will clear all your grass weak CS forever

[molten sorrel]

sheesh

[mellow linden]

So, generally speaking, Sync Pairs who do damage want Critical Strike 2 and Sync Pairs who don’t deal damage and don’t already have Vigilance want Vigilance. Brendan is an exception in that he wants Dauntless

[molten sorrel]

this is for the creamy cookie right?

[mellow linden]

is what gives Dauntless and Vigilance

gives Critical Strike 2

[molten sorrel]

okok ty

[toxic cobalt]

So if you have enough , getting Dauntless should be a priority

How much of the story have you finished? You seem to be missing some story pairs

[molten sorrel]

lucky me

[molten sorrel]

theyre all at the bottom

like hop and zinnia right

[toxic cobalt]

Anyway groudn and poison seem to be the rough ones, I suggest poison stalling poison if possible, and the throwing Annili at ground.

[mellow linden]

There’s more free pairs from the PML arc

[molten sorrel]

I completed it all

I have the check thing next to it

[mellow linden]

Presumably they’re not shown due to the filter for 5-stars only

[molten sorrel]

Ah

[mellow linden]

Oh, wait

Nevermind, there’s 3-stars there

So idk

Oh

[mellow linden]

I see, there’s a separate screenshot for each role

[molten sorrel]

these right? or am I getting it wrong

[mellow linden]

Don’t worry about it, just some confusion due to how you broke up your screenshots, we got the picture now

[toxic cobalt]

Wait there are more pages?

Where are Koga and Janine?

[molten sorrel]

no just seeing if these are the free units from the story

Theyre way at the bottom

I have them though

[mellow linden]

The Legendary Adventures pairs are different from the story freebies

[molten sorrel]

ohhhhhh

[mellow linden]

But don’t worry about it for now

[toxic cobalt]

Have you obtained any BP units?

[molten sorrel]

Nope

[mellow linden]

Looks like Poison stall is the way to go for Will, your Hilbert is only 1/5 rn

[molten sorrel]

I have 1 ticket for bp sync pair voucher

didnt really exchange yet

i think ill get another once I do the daily bp thing

[toxic cobalt]

That's okay for now, just asking. We can work with what we have.

[molten sorrel]

okok

[molten sorrel]

oh alright

[keen silo]

Will allister and koga work fine against will 2k

[mellow linden]

Greninjas are an easy off-type on someone

[keen silo]

Gonna do it tmr

[toxic cobalt]

Should do

[mellow linden]

Who’s the 3rd team member?

[keen silo]

sskris

since koga is like

[mellow linden]

Should be fine then

[keen silo]

yeah

ty

[molten sorrel]

for poison stall teams its koga janine and who else?

[toxic cobalt]

Actually I'd use Lucy instead of Koga

[molten sorrel]

oh

[toxic cobalt]

Lucy Janine and Sycamore is an easy team

[molten sorrel]

alrighty

[mellow linden]

Poison stall teams are usually a Bad Poison inflictor (Lucy works best, IMO) + Janine + a tank

[keen silo]

koga imo works better on offensive poison teams due to venoshock

[molten sorrel]

ohhhh

[teal siren]

Got my first 10k run in CS!!!

[molten sorrel]

Nice

[toxic cobalt]

[keen silo]

Congrats

[molten sorrel]

so for the others I should be able to clear, I should just be putting 2 supports next to them?

[mellow linden]

Depends

[teal siren]

Ash and SSRT are gods!

[mellow linden]

For Brendan you’ll wanna pair him with SS Erika and a good Support

[molten sorrel]

oh alright

Im thinking ingo olivia and ss diantha for another team

[mellow linden]

That works great

Karen will get obliterated by those 3

[molten sorrel]

and then dragon im a little iffy about

[toxic cobalt]

Dragon I suggest running in with Cyrus

[molten sorrel]

and 2 supports backing?

[toxic cobalt]

Yep that'll work

[mellow linden]

Cyrus + SS Brendan + a gauge Support will handle Lance just fine

[molten sorrel]

ooooh alright

And then Im thinking ccalem c serena and some other support to off type koga since I dont have anything else

[toxic cobalt]

That should do fine

[molten sorrel]

alright tysm for the help everyone

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Greninjas will murder Koga

[keen jasper]

I mean, SS Brendan has Freevenge 9 when mega-ing?

[mellow linden]

Oh, does he?

My bad then

[toxic cobalt]

SS Brendan seems to do everything

[keen jasper]

And SS Brendan gives free moves next with his TM

Assuming you spent 3 gauges

[mellow linden]

I did know that part, didn’t know about Freevenge though

Good to know for future reference

[keen jasper]

He has Freevenge 4 in base

Meaning 50/50 chance quadqueue is ruined unless you have Adrenaline

[mellow linden]

Worst case scenario they can tank with the 2nd Support, probably

[obtuse hound]

hey, returning player who hasn't ever done johto. who's best round 3? normal mode for now

[toxic cobalt]

It’s not that important this week

[mellow linden]

Just to check, is the region Kanto or Johto?

[lunar meadow]

Johto

We have will and Karen

[mellow linden]

Because we usually refer to the one that rotates between regions as Hard Mode since that’s what the game calls it, while Normal Mode is always Kanto

[mellow linden]

Sorry, was asking the person wanting assistance since they said “Normal Mode”

My bad, should’ve done a reply rather than a regular comment

I do in fact pay attention to the region we’re on

[lunar meadow]

Ah, I assumed they meant "hard mode" when they said normal

Basically, "not master mode"

[mellow linden]

I’m guessing that too, but it’s always good to check

It’ll prevent confusion later down the line since we usually ask “Hard Mode or Master Mode” if someone comes looking for CS advice

And I’m blind, they said Jotho in their request for advice

Big on my part

[obtuse hound]

my b, i forgot it was called that. havent played in 4 months

nah was on my part, you're fine

so karen or koga r3?

that's who i have left.

[mellow linden]

Nah, you’re good. Anyways, between Karen and Koga it won’t really matter unless 1 team you’re using has an EX Support and the other doesn’t

[obtuse hound]

i have plenty of ex supports

[mellow linden]

Or if you’re planning to Poison stall one

[obtuse hound]

hmm

[mellow linden]

Since you do not want to do Poison stall on round 4

[obtuse hound]

oof yeah

r3 is ally debuff

when faint

i guess then it doesn't really matter. im only on hard mode for now anyway

[lunar meadow]

@obtuse hound
Don't forget to try to use a variety of "types".

If you can get 10+ done this week, it will be easy to unlock Master Mode next week

[obtuse hound]

ive already done 12, im aiming for 15. Thanks for the reminder though!

[spring fable]

do we know which region is after johoo?

[mellow linden]

Nope, not until datamine

Assuming they don’t release Malva + Drasna next month and thus Kalos CS alongside them, my money is on Unova

[swift swan]

the rotation used to be Alola after Johto

but I'm praying for Kalos CS

[mellow linden]

Oh, is there a set pattern?

Regardless, I would be both excited and afraid if Kalos CS dropped next month

[swift swan]

I remember it being Kanto, Johto, Alola, Unova

then Kanto, Sinnoh, Johto, Alola, Hoenn, Unova

then DeNA pulled a Sinnoh-Hoenn back to back

and now the pattern is ruined

[toxic cobalt]

They better do Kalos

[mellow linden]

Huh, interesting

I think I’m covered for the majority of gimmicks they could throw at us for Kalos CS, fortunately

Barring stuff that requires OPikachus, at least

[swift swan]

Kalos introduced megas but we have CS stages with megas already

so idk what gimmick they'd pull off

inb4 they come with innate +1 rebuff

[old orchid]

-3 rebuff upon entry

[toxic cobalt]

Not sure they’d do rebuff as there is no rebuff counter

[old orchid]

[mellow linden]

I would actually be upset if they used rebuff against us like that in CS

[swift swan]

I mean, rebuff can go both ways, we just don't have pairs to increase rebuff for our team yet

[mellow linden]

For EBEs, sure, whatever (though still kinda annoying), but CS would suck

[toxic cobalt]

Agreed, I have no desire to learn how to tank

[mellow linden]

Probably because that would be super niche

[swift swan]

so I imagine the stage comes with +1 rebuff of a type, so you need to bring a rebuff unit to neutralize it

[toxic cobalt]

So you need SS Hilbert?

[swift swan]

fire, water, electric, ice, bug weak CS in one week and SS Hilbert's recommended in all of them let's gooo

[nocturne pawn]

probably just sentry + wise entry to stop pikachus from absolutely steamrolling it

[mellow linden]

If they have that mechanic on Ice, Bug, or Electric weak stages then SS Hilbert would be needed

[toxic cobalt]

1 rebuff is still easier than offtype but also it’s not something players outside of discord would be able to figure out

[old orchid]

Pikachu Entry x5 is the only way to stop the rats

[nocturne pawn]

yeah

[toxic cobalt]

This does not stop them

[nocturne pawn]

lmao

[mellow linden]

I’d imagine if they actually throw +1 rebuff on a stage they’d make it Fire weak

[swift swan]

good thing the two pikachus specialize in different damage, one is physical and one is special

[nocturne pawn]

do you know if piercing blows would bypass rebuff

[mellow linden]

Because Fire does have a general pool rebuff applier

[toxic cobalt]

Not my general pool

[mellow linden]

Oof

[old orchid]

Rebuff isnt a passive, so no

[toxic cobalt]

I don’t think it would

[swift swan]

same

[spring fable]

okie, if kanto and johto are the easier ones
and sinnoh and hoenn are the harder ones

where does alola and unova rank?

[mellow linden]

Unova is about on par with Johto/Kanto and Alola is between those 3 and Sinnoh/Hoenn, IMO

[swift swan]

really? I'd put Unova above Alola personally

Grimsley and Shauntal gave me quite a bit of trouble, more than any Alola stage ever did

[mellow linden]

I personally don’t remember struggling much with Unova except in like its earliest runs before I even started doing Master Mode

[swift swan]

I think the fact that Unova was my first CS played a part

[mellow linden]

I guess Water weak Shauntal is a bit of an outlier though due to that Will-O-Wisp and dangerous Heat Wave

[swift swan]

but I remember one grimsley and shauntal stage had go viral statuses

that gave me so much stress, while the only Alola stage I could remember was Rock-weak Kahili and Fire-weak Kukui having toxic

[mellow linden]

Water weak Shauntal has that Go Viral Will-O-Wisp, yeah

I could admittedly be biased because Bug weak Hau was a nightmare when I tried to beat him with Lusamine on the most recent run

[swift swan]

I forgot what bug-weak Hau was all about

hostile environment discharge?

[zealous karma]

Hostile environment 9 Ecks dee

[mellow linden]

Yeah

I’m probably off-typing Bug weak Hau next time, I proved it was possible with Lusamine

[zealous karma]

Single lusamine seems unfun I recall using bugsy and lusa for it

[toxic cobalt]

I agrée that Unova is on Kanto Johto levels. Alola I’ve not had much trouble with either.

[old orchid]

The easy ones: Kanto < Johto < Unova

The mid: Alola

The hard ones: Sinnoh < Hoenn

My ranking

Hope Kalos is above Hoenn between Sinnoh and Hoenn

[zealous karma]

J find unova easier than Johto personally

Real

[old orchid]

Most of trouble come from Koga right

[zealous karma]

I also hate ghost week will and rock week karen because they ruin fun

[old orchid]

Other than Koga the rest of Johto is easy so i dont rank Johto harder

Each of Unova E4 has at least a stage that is annoying to me

The Champion stages are joke tho

[zealous karma]

Like even now I find some stages fairly annoying but most of my initial troubles with e4 are not too bad, unova CS was my first 15K lel

[zealous karma]

When will we get another alder fight lel

[old orchid]

When Unova CS lvl 2

[zealous karma]

That’s one of my biggest hopes

They go back and make some of the older CS more difficult

[old orchid]

True

Koga stages become literally nightmare

[zealous karma]

Give fire week koga sentry and wise entry x2

[toxic cobalt]

I already had to candy a unit to beat Koga

[zealous karma]

And make crit shield prock whenever he gets flinches frozen

[old orchid]

Make him 99k HP too

[zealous karma]

Also give him sure crit super effective up next Eq on first turn with piercing blow passive for no particular reason

Oh and also double his Atk stat

[swift swan]

the only way to beat him would be burn stall

[toxic cobalt]

At last, a real sstage

[trail smelt]

Kalos CS with Type Guard?

[toxic cobalt]

What would type guard do besides weirdly stop one particular off-type?

[swift swan]

how about tough skin

[zealous karma]

Make syncs even more prioritized

[swift swan]

tough skin on top of x2 entry

[zealous karma]

The rats have Pb

[swift swan]

only 1 has Pb

it's fine

[zealous karma]

It’s not enough I want the rats dead

[swift swan]

if we try to scale everything to match the rats, it renders most other units not viable

[zealous karma]

Not if you make it so every stage has PB super effective next cr it next Eq!!

[trail smelt]

Oh I meant like 90% damage reduction to their weakness, forcing people to offtype haha

[toxic cobalt]

That would traumatisé people lol

[full mesa]

Unless at the same time it would receive extra damage from off-type.

[swift swan]

Stages encouraging offtype, hell yeah

[zealous karma]

I miss nitro def woulve posted lilblurry rn

[swift swan]

[formal musk]

imagine stages having all off type guard and forcing you to on type

(the fairy and poison weak in question:)

[manic kiln]

on type still easy tho and yes even with f2p options from poison and fairy

[full mesa]

Poison stages usually are more susceptible to stall. Fairy would have been an issue as well as bug.

[mellow linden]

Poison isn't a problem anymore, we have Roxie and Lucy grids

[swift swan]

Forcing you to ontype but at the same time has x2 entry

[old orchid]

Fairy isnt a problem anymore since Mina's grid

[swift swan]

She failed me vs Sidney

[old orchid]

skill issue then

[swift swan]

Ikr she was nice vs Cynthia tho

Sidney just chose to be too bulky

[old orchid]

Sidney hates Mina confimed

[manic kiln]

sycamore ex also helps, and with expanded grid next month should be easy

[keen silo]

This would be the most demonic thing I've seen in the game

Don't think I've used Mina for Fairy at all, could give it a go next week with Bruno

[dark osprey]

Mina with ex sycamore and surgechu will be really good now

[trail smelt]

Mina has always failed me for fairy honestly

Only thing she’s good at it is reducing Bruno’s damage

[rotund lagoon]

Ahem

[trail smelt]

Yeah I won’t have SSB for crits

[civic trellis]

Next CS reset seems fun

[rotund lagoon]

That’s what you take from this???

[trail smelt]

Yes

[full mesa]

Mina is ok. At 5 stars she can deal damage after an ex support. She just needs a bit of strategy in order to properly work. As you can see in the image, she deals 27k with only -6 att. Imagine if you could somehow max out her att/crit and minimize att/def of your target.

[full mesa]

Steel Lance is a joke. We have already faced off against Bruno, Karen and Will. Ice Koga will be a cakewalk with Kyurem ex.

[civic trellis]

Ive just been wanting to try out anni lillie, ex ny lissi, and havent used raihan in a while

So kinda exciting for me ig

[void wyvern]

Mina does absolutely fine on fairy weak with either general pool or seasonal supports. She’s niche though and easily replaceable. But teams like Sonia/Mina/sync accel defence debuffer clear Bruno and with some luck can clear Cynthia without too much pain.

[flint heart]

How do you beat r4 I’m so close to 10k this is the best I ever done so far every round 2k

[rotund lagoon]

Who are you against?

[flint heart]

Last guy bottom right

[rotund lagoon]

Name?????

[flint heart]

Karen I think

Wit the birds Rock

[rotund lagoon]

Karen’s a girl…………

[flint heart]

Weakness

My bad

Ion got the game open I’m at wrk

[rotund lagoon]

Then ask when you can play again, cause you just need to do a recommended parameter in pins and build a Rock weak team.

[flint heart]

I’m not gonna use a rock team

It’s the buffs idk how to defeat that

[rotund lagoon]

Is it not rock weak?

[flint heart]

It is but I can’t win wit oliva

[rotund lagoon]

What move level is she?

[flint heart]

5

[rotund lagoon]

…..team issue.

[flint heart]

Skill issue …

[rotund lagoon]

You said you can’t play now, right? Because I would need you to send your roster.

[flint heart]

Gotta git Gud

[rotund lagoon]

+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.

[rotund lagoon]

Also read this.

[flint heart]

I can play I dnt take my job that seriously lol

[rotund lagoon]

[flint heart]

I wrk at Amazon

😂😂😂

[rotund lagoon]

I dont need to know that.

[flint heart]

Noted

[rotund lagoon]

Anyway, send your Supports.

[zealous karma]

Rip small@talk

[rotund lagoon]

I’m thinking Sonia, Sand Setter and Olivia. Grid Olivia with a Sandstorm build.

Sand setters can be Bertha or Acerola.

[nocturne pawn]

wouldnt hilbert be faster for pre sync olivia

like you should be able to just kill it before it can kill olivia

since acerola can take 2 attacks

[rotund lagoon]

I thought about Hilbert tbh

[nocturne pawn]

and hilbert takes 3

[rotund lagoon]

Should’ve just said that lmao

Also do this grid

[nocturne pawn]

it’s what i used for karen 2k

[rotund lagoon]

Actually yeah, Hilbert does her multipliers, fuck

Hilbert, a sand setter and Olivia.

[flint heart]

Is it possible to auto e4 with the correct grids

[rotund lagoon]

Do not auto…….

At all.

[flint heart]

Thought so

But I have that hippo

[nocturne pawn]

you could probably auto hard mode

definitely not master mode though

[rotund lagoon]

Bertha then.

[flint heart]

Bertha

Yea

[nocturne pawn]

is bertha better for sandstorm vs acerola

[rotund lagoon]

Hilbert, Bertha and Olivia.

[rotund lagoon]

Imo, yes

[nocturne pawn]

i think the astonish flinches can be pretty useful

[rotund lagoon]

Has more utility.

[nocturne pawn]

and i guess she could be a secondary nuke if you survive that long

[flint heart]

I’ll try this on my break or tomorrow then

Does anyone play pkmn tcg live here or have the virtual cards

[nocturne pawn]

try #main-plaza

or #pokemon-general

[rotund lagoon]

That’s for Rising Star/Ace Trainers

[nocturne pawn]

huh

[zealous karma]

It’s #poma-lounge for non aces

[rotund lagoon]

[zealous karma]

I literally saw you have rising star the same day you joined so you likely did not notice

[nocturne pawn]

that makes sense

[timber summit]

Are NKyurem and Lunalillie strong enough for next week's Ice and Ghost weak respectively? Both are EX but only 1/5

[zealous karma]

easily

[void wyvern]

You won’t have any trouble with those 2

[grand trout]

What week are we

[old orchid]

Week 3

Next is Week 4

[grand trout]

Week 4 tomorrow? Okay

Hmmm maybe i should use Beedrill against karen for a changr

And lodge lillie against bruno

[void wyvern]

Use mina against Bruno. You’ll get good results

[grand trout]

Wait what

I thought he's resistant against physical

[void wyvern]

He does not have any entries against physical

He also has no resistance to attack debuffs

Compared to the usual 3 or 5

[rotund lagoon]

Should I show my Mina clear @void wyvern ?

[void wyvern]

absolutely

[spring fable]

how consistent would using mina be next reset against 2k vs 1/5 ny lisia?

[full mesa]

A lot. She can clear.

[zealous karma]

Lisia will be a lot easier

[spring fable]

1/5 ny lisia > 5/5 mina?

[formal vigil]

Yes

[spring fable]

okie ty

[spring fable]

Lesgo johto 10k gonna get their cheeks clapped ||hopefully dear lord arceus || tmr

[swift swan]

Looks good

[spring fable]

on hindsight, dont know if lance will be smoothsailing cause no support ex

[trail smelt]

I don’t have a support ex for my mono steel team and I do fine

[swift swan]

It's johto. You'll be fine

[mellow linden]

Absolute worst case scenario I’m like 95% sure you have a good off-type option

[swift swan]

Lance has some interesting passives

Guess you don't want Air Cutter to hit very often

..never mind, his air cutter has 1 MP

[mellow linden]

I’ll probably just do my standard team of Hop + Steven + Rachel against him

[swift swan]

Ayyy Hop + Steven gang

I usually go Hop/Steven/Masked Royal

[mellow linden]

Also a good option, yeah

[primal field]

What website is this?

[swift swan]

Pomatools, link on pins

[mellow linden]

Pomatools is super useful, it’s also got a grid planner so you can work out a grid setup before you actually put it together in-game

[rotund lagoon]

@grand trout

[grand trout]

Ah cool

[rotund lagoon]

Mina got good af sync that’s easy to setup lol

[zealous karma]

Good is an overstatement to me

[rotund lagoon]

This is a fun af rock team :0

~~Oh geez apparently in MM I have slight gauge issues ~~

Maybe Roxanne can still work as the Support next time XP

[full mesa]

Or run fast track 2 lucky skill.

[rotund lagoon]

For Support Regirock? That’s not a bad idea.

[full mesa]

+3 speed on regirock should fix it somewhat.

[rotund lagoon]

Holy crap. First and second sync all Koga.

[rotund lagoon]

@void wyvern I think you’d like this

I’m gonna try EX Support sync next time XP

[civic trellis]

Good teams for CS?

I just wanted to try out double raihan but otherwise I think I should be fine?

[void wyvern]

You are right I do like this.

[void wyvern]

They all look good.

[zealous karma]

I would personally replace BPMorty with a gauge support or Lussamine/SSACynthia for more benefit to master passive

[void wyvern]

Gauge support will definitely make triple queuing a lot easier.

[civic trellis]

Oh ok ill try

No lussamine/ssa cynthia atm tho unfortunately

Maybe ill put skyla and smb else with ghetsis

I put sonia with ghetsis

Sycamore can max sp atk and sonia is just there for potions and gauge support

• sycamore maxes speed

[void wyvern]

You can always try a speed debuffer with Ghetsis. Lodge Elesa, clemont, Nessa, pal Serena.

[civic trellis]

Ig I finally found a use for clement

What about healing

O wait sycamore’s tm has grad healing right?

[quaint solar]

Yes

[rotund lagoon]

Yep yep

[civic trellis]

Nice, I should he able to do it then

[old orchid]

Monday already?

[void wyvern]

I raise you this in return.

[rotund lagoon]

HECK YEAH!!

[swift swan]

oh damn CS reset soon and I still haven't figured out a theme for my run

[old orchid]

How about Alphabet theme

[swift swan]

interesting

oh darn but then I would need to determine the E4 round order first

so the alphabet order is properly shown in hall of fame

[old orchid]

The third target is the left
The first target is the middle
The second target is the right

[zealous karma]

150 HoliJasmine 🤝

She is so good at 3/5 I did not know what I was missing lel

[old orchid]

Top fav Johto character + top fav Johto pokemon = HJasmine

[old orchid]

she is missing 5/5 grid

[zealous karma]

MY CANDIES

I have been contempt with 1/5 SCJasmine so far so I will likely candy CChalem next lel

I spent 2 support candies last mont and am almost at 1 again if I complete gauntler

[void wyvern]

[spring fable]

Spell johto with your 5 teams, dont think we have enough mons tho

[swift swan]

I definitely don't have enough J units

[zealous karma]

Jacerola

[toxic cobalt]

Jesse James rerun when

[spring fable]

Jasmine, Janine

[swift swan]

I have exactly 1 jasmine

and 2 janines

so exactly 3 J units

[toxic cobalt]

There you go!

Tank debuffer and pseudo damaged

[swift swan]

[toxic cobalt]

I mean if you’re spelling Johto how is J the problem where are your six O’s

[swift swan]

O is impossible though

literally only Olivia

I'm planning to do the alphabet theme Gakon suggested

but 15 units means up to the 15th letter of the alphabet only

[toxic cobalt]

Do it over 2 weeks

[swift swan]

oooh long term project

I like that

[toxic cobalt]

Only 26 though, gotta find some duos

[swift swan]

gasp

my plan was to cycle back to A after I'm done

wait... I can't do the letter X at all

[zealous karma]

What about including Pokémon names

[nocturne pawn]

you have xatu and xerneas

which is still not great

[toxic cobalt]

Nov finally sycamore solo?!?!?

[rotund lagoon]

SYCAMORE SOLO???

[desert berry]

Hello! Can help me with Koga, Bruno and Karen team?

[toxic cobalt]

2/5 Olivia

[nocturne pawn]

is this for mm or just a first clear

[toxic cobalt]

Silver for grass

[zealous karma]

Karen: Olivia ssdiantha hop
Bruno: Brendan skyla SSEirika
Will: koga ssbrendan Janine
Koga: SSRed Blaine CCalem
Lance: Cyrus Sycamore Winona
@desert berry

[rotund lagoon]

Why not Brendan?

[toxic cobalt]

Throw AnniLili or the frogs at ground weak I guess

[zealous karma]

They have Brendan and SSEirika

[toxic cobalt]

I didn’t see him

[rotund lagoon]

Ah yes now I see SS Erika lol

[nocturne pawn]

1/5 brendan isnt that great iirc?

[rotund lagoon]

Erika still packs a punch

[desert berry]

MM mode

[toxic cobalt]

It’ll be fine

[nocturne pawn]

i was gonna say selene but ig im blind and didnt see sserika

[desert berry]

[rotund lagoon]

You’re…waiting till now to do it???

[desert berry]

Yes…

[nocturne pawn]

you have uh

[desert berry]

I stopped…

[nocturne pawn]

an hour and 25 minutes

so good luck

[desert berry]

[rotund lagoon]

Agreed

I’m just gonna hope you know gameplay.

[desert berry]

I don’t

Let me assemble team first

[rotund lagoon]

I like this one

[desert berry]

Thanks will use that

[toxic cobalt]

3/5 SSR for another mindless offtype

[desert berry]

[zealous karma]

CS usually takes me around like 10 minutes or less

[rotund lagoon]

Oh Richu, I used Koga for the first time in a while, he’s sick!! :0

[toxic cobalt]

Oh Richu included the SSR offtype haha

[zealous karma]

Koga is fun but now that Roxie and Lucy have grids I enjoy them@mkre lel

[nocturne pawn]

yeah but this is for someone whos probably brand new to csmm

so like

better to be generous

[toxic cobalt]

I forgot to use Roxie 💀

[zealous karma]

They have very good units they should be fine

[zealous karma]

She hits shockingly hard

8K per PJ 3K

[rotund lagoon]

Dang I should use her

[nocturne pawn]

so do i and it takes me half an hour to clear one

i just suck

[zealous karma]

I do also have one of the rosters ever

[rotund lagoon]

I also have one of the rosters ever

Ooh we should compare sometime :0

[toxic cobalt]

Sounds like you don’t quadqueue

[zealous karma]

Quad queuing my beloved

[desert berry]

I just realized will I be using fire typing for Koga?

[zealous karma]

Yes

[desert berry]

Okay!

[zealous karma]

SsRed especially at 3/5 is an amazing off typer

You’re not bound to on typing

[nocturne pawn]

i dont

[rotund lagoon]

As long as the unit is strong, someone can off type.

[toxic cobalt]

There is no fire weak for the rest of this month! When can test Blaine grid?!?

[rotund lagoon]

STILL NO SUNNY DAY MPR

SALTY AF ABOUT THAT

[nocturne pawn]

[zealous karma]

I love it here!

[nocturne pawn]

truly unfortunate

thank god i have sserika now

so i can complain about having ssmorty later

[zealous karma]

I was excited for Blaine grid and then dena spit in my face

Couldn’t even have given him rising tide

Smh my head

[rotund lagoon]

Yep

[toxic cobalt]

How did you maintain hope after Winona

[nocturne pawn]

doesnt winona have an okish nuke with her grid or is that hopium

[zealous karma]

🐴

Her nuke is decent

Around 10K on those with support Ex I believe

At least Blaine has a really good nuke now (why)

[desert berry]

How to do Koga team…

Also what points should I be using?

[toxic cobalt]

Standard pre sync

[desert berry]

Okay

[rotund lagoon]

Eh? What are you confused about?

[keen jasper]

You can technically make your parameters

[zealous karma]

What the heck

Winona DPS is good(?)

[desert berry]

I used the 1,500 pre sync

[zealous karma]

4K off type

What

In the

[desert berry]

Rotation

[swift swan]

Aurochs won't sleep until I do a sycamore solo huh

[rotund lagoon]

BRO?????

[keen jasper]

How many sync buffs

[rotund lagoon]

Eh? The rotation should not be hard?

[zealous karma]

2

Not one

Support ex brain hurts

[desert berry]

Okay will do my best

[rotund lagoon]

Just try them out, buff then attack.

[desert berry]

Is it not like specific like poison team?

[keen jasper]

CS is about to change this next reset

[rotund lagoon]

You’re off typing.

[desert berry]

Like spam an attack and a TM and unga bunga?

Oh true

Will do it fast!!

[keen jasper]

1 hour and 10 minutes remaining

[rotund lagoon]

Yep, fun times

Tbh, I usually get my CS done today too but I do it during the day and clear it in 15 minutes.

[keen jasper]

Need Kalos CS this next datamine

[rotund lagoon]

[keen jasper]

It will be 6 or 7 months since our latest CS

[nocturne pawn]

i cant wait for them all to have zone on entry and damage reduction while zone is up

[keen jasper]

[nocturne pawn]

and sentry + wise entry 4

[rotund lagoon]

Also Crit shield

[swift swan]

Hoenn still feels very fresh ngl

[nocturne pawn]

because why not

[desert berry]

Oh no got bursted

[swift swan]

But I do want Kalos

[desert berry]

By enemy team sync

[keen jasper]

You mean Wise/Sentry Entry x4?

[nocturne pawn]

is that not what i said

[keen jasper]

You literally said it without the x

[swift swan]

x makes all the difference

[nocturne pawn]

isnt that it is in the game

[keen jasper]

[trail smelt]

Less than 2 hours remain

Get your CS MM done

[swift swan]

Sentry Entry/Wise Entry 2 gives positive stat buffs upon entry. Easily ignored by crit
Sentry Entry/Wise Entry x2 doubles the base stat upon entry. Can't be ignored by crit since it's not a stat buff

[rotund lagoon]

We’re almost at an hour left.

[trail smelt]

Which is less than 2 hours haha

[keen jasper]

And hopefully by the time Kalos CS comes, we'll have Drasna and Malva in the general pool

[desert berry]

@rotund lagoon Annie i keep getting nuked by Koga

Sorry for ping

[keen jasper]

Are you quadqueueing?

[desert berry]

[rotund lagoon]

Check pins to learn how to quadqueue.

There’s a video.

[desert berry]

I’m watching it again

[trail smelt]

It may help to change the game speed

[zealous karma]

Better than I thought

[rotund lagoon]

This is important too

[zealous karma]

Imagine if I had aniSkyla

18K off type

Non tech Ex

[nocturne pawn]

is quad queue that much of a benefit

seems a bit tricky to learn

[zealous karma]

Yes

It’s what changes pre sync to post sync

[rotund lagoon]

It just takes practice.

[zealous karma]

Quad queuing is fairly easy imo

But I do spam it like I’ve gone mad

[rotund lagoon]

I spam my queuing like a maniac.

So I feel ya

~~I have to sleep so I won’t be available for the rest of my night, see y’all ~~

[nocturne pawn]

i should sleep too i have school and theres snow everywhere

[trail smelt]

I never get the timing for quad queuing right andi still clear all content haha

[nocturne pawn]

i never bothered

[desert berry]

Oh wow

Quadqueue does really make a difference

[keen jasper]

[desert berry]

Good night Annie and thanks!!

Night guide me

[keen jasper]

Have you done Koga?

[desert berry]

Yess

[keen jasper]

You have 50 minutes remaining

[desert berry]

Just finished him

Bruno Karen and Lance left

What parameters should I use for them?

[keen jasper]

Definitely not round 2 for Will

[desert berry]

I’m on round 3

I did Will earlier

[zealous karma]

Quad queuing is fun

[keen jasper]

Why did you mention 3 of them even if you're on round 3?

[desert berry]

Currently on Round 3(?)

[keen jasper]

Either one is ok

Round 3 is pretty neutral

[zealous karma]

Doesn’t matter who you do SSEirika ssbrendan, and SSDiantha and Olivia is free regardless lel

[desert berry]

Should I still use 1,500 pre sync para?

[keen jasper]

Up to you

I make my own parameters since I have strong enough units to clear CS content

[desert berry]

Oh okay I thought it might make a big big difference if I choose wrong parameters

Oh

Thanks Night!

[keen jasper]

[zealous karma]

Parameters tend to actually make differences albeit slight

I’ve had the wrong params and see an enemy live on one hp because I had def/SpDef up 50

[desert berry]

Doing Bruno team with 1/5 Brendan Skyla and SSErika’s not really working well

[zealous karma]

I got close with them for 2K for 1.5K he should have less hp

https://streamable.com/d2k3wo

If your Eirika is 2/5 which I think yours is you can grab solar flare 5 which might make her hit a little harder (I miss clicked bullet seed)

[desert berry]

Mine’s at 1/5

[zealous karma]

If they do not work you could try gridding Mallow and use her in place of ssbrendan

[desert berry]

SS Brendan?

[nocturne pawn]

brendan and latios

[desert berry]

Doing anti Karen team but I always die first even with quadqueueing

[swift swan]

teambuilding my alphabet teams for my CS challenge and it's going well until I reached the letter I

[zealous karma]

I miss thought

[swift swan]

I only have Iris

[zealous karma]

Sorry lel I meant base Brendan

[nocturne pawn]

only regular? or alt

[swift swan]

Only regular

literally just 1 I unit

not the worst case scenario ever, I'm just not a fan of using her

[nocturne pawn]

i heard shes pretty good

but confusion could be irritating for sure

[desert berry]

Oh wait nvm finished

Karen

[zealous karma]

You could’ve done bruno round 4 for an easier time lel

[zealous karma]

How did you do it ?

With SSDiantha Olivia and hop Karen will likely take no more than 2 attempts lel

[desert berry]

Olivia SS Diantha and Hop

I was so bad

[nocturne pawn]

shes only 2/5 right

[zealous karma]

I thought you meant Bruno wools

[desert berry]

The first 3-4 attempts

[nocturne pawn]

she being olivia

[desert berry]

Yes just 2/5

Haven’t gridded her yet

[zealous karma]

Mallow SSEirika SSB (if you can grid mallow) should work

[swift swan]

ah that's where the problem stems

[desert berry]

Now in stuck with Bruno for Round 4

[swift swan]

you want to grid Olivia, at least

[nocturne pawn]

please grid olivia

[desert berry]

She’s just 2/5

[nocturne pawn]

and?

[desert berry]

She has her good kit at 2/5?

[nocturne pawn]

inertia is a big multiplier for her regardless

you want it

yes

[desert berry]

Oh

[nocturne pawn]

sand blaster is also good

[swift swan]

2/5 grid is better than no grid

[zealous karma]

Try SSB mallow SSEirika if you can grid mallow onlu if you can grid her tho lel

[nocturne pawn]

but inertia is minimal requirement

[desert berry]

Maybe next time but finished Karen anyways

[desert berry]

Can grid her yes

She’s at 5/5 so

Let me grid her real quick

Which one though

[zealous karma]

Sun sync nuke

[nocturne pawn]

sun sync nuke

does she get pecking order too?

[desert berry]

Also is there a big difference between 2k pre sync and 1.5k pre sync?

[zealous karma]

If that grid grabs overwhelm

[zealous karma]

Not really no lel

[nocturne pawn]

2k just gets you more stuff

[desert berry]

This is sun sync no overwhelm

[nocturne pawn]

is it really stop hitting yourself

[desert berry]

[zealous karma]

Wth is that

[desert berry]

Sun sync nuke grid

[keen jasper]

Why Charging Sun?

[zealous karma]

Run this then lel

[keen jasper]

You're much better with Trop Kick: Double Drop

[zealous karma]

Mallow has pretty reasonable DPS

[desert berry]

Oh idk it was there in the guide

[zealous karma]

She doesn’t have double drop

It’s overwhelm

[keen jasper]

Yeah that one

[desert berry]

Thanks for this

[keen jasper]

Better for setting up her multipliers unless you have another unit that will lower attack for her

[dark osprey]

mallow is such a pain to set up

sun, confusion, attack drops, attack & crit buffs

she can do some on her own at least

[keen jasper]

And potentially defense debuffs

[swift swan]

<has never used Mallow

[dark osprey]

oh lol

[dark osprey]

better that way.

[swift swan]

mine's been sitting unused for practically any hard content

It will change this LG, I swear

...I hope

[void wyvern]

I ex’d mine because I needed a grass nuker and then SS Lyra came out and I cried myself to sleep.

[dark osprey]

I did find some use for her in LG.

[zealous karma]

I’ve used her once before she didn’t disappoint ibe wanted to Ex her for a whole lel

[dark osprey]

lol. with SS Morty at least she seems kinda useful

would rather use Silver I guess for CS

[zealous karma]

I might optimize run next week I’m to lazy to create teams

Idk their types either

https://streamable.com/ldkanb this is that team working for 2K so it should be fine for 1.5

(It shouldn’t have been this hard I think I used Sun at bad times)

[dark osprey]

oh yeah. forgot. doesn't Mallow need a few accuracy buffs as well?

with her TM

[toxic cobalt]

Sometimes I feel this then remember optimise means I have to exit back and make new params

[keen jasper]

I think 1 accuracy buff is enough for her Power Whip to have 100 accuracy

[dark osprey]

ah crap. one less attack debuff then

[zealous karma]

I don’t have to change my params for optimized but my roster is very stacked so lel

[keen jasper]

I still grid Mallow's Trop Kick: Overwhelm

[zealous karma]

Almost all the units I use consistently are all Ex

Can’t believe I have like 60 ex lel

[old orchid]

Ghost weak Will comeback

[toxic cobalt]

Does it still always pick sycamore firs

[zealous karma]

Pain

[zealous karma]

It always choosing SSMorty first -> ssbrendan -> SSKris -> HoliJasmine -> sonia

[dark osprey]

With impervious

[old orchid]

Why that damn psychic bird has Impervious

No Helena and Fantina gaming

[desert berry]

Is Mallow supposed to be my dps?

Or SSErika?

[zealous karma]

Here’s a vid for reference

[desert berry]

Mallow’s not dealing dmg

[void wyvern]

Agatha!

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Even Agatha has some good OARs now

[zealous karma]

Mallow has semi solid DPS but SSEirika’s is a lot better

[keen jasper]

Because Anni Lillie

[toxic cobalt]

But you can’t oar!

[zealous karma]

You have 2 minutes rip

[desert berry]

Nvm

I can’t do it

[old orchid]

Thanks for reminding to try her this week

[desert berry]

[keen jasper]

[zealous karma]

Might as well prepare teams for next week

[toxic cobalt]

Sleep sync

[keen jasper]

It's reset time now

[old orchid]

Lillie is boring

[zealous karma]

Doesn’t she also have brain teaser

Agatha

[dark osprey]

Wish Agatha had some crit buff mechanisms though

[void wyvern]

Agatha is wild as hell now. Without brain teaser it kinda sucks to use her but even without her damage is more than passable for a free unit.

But her biggest downfall is that she needs a support to hold her hands.

[dark osprey]

Not sure. I think that's Fantina only

[keen jasper]

At least Fantina has SEUN

[swift swan]

reset time

time to do my wonky alphabet run

[old orchid]

Nah i try to use her nuke

[zealous karma]

Oh pain

It’s fairy

[void wyvern]

She does.

[zealous karma]

I can’t optimize this week

[void wyvern]

Fairy? MINA

[zealous karma]

It always recommends Gloria PSerena sycamore

[swift swan]

what does optimize give you for fairy?

[swift swan]

lmao

[zealous karma]

AMAZING I CAN DO THIS

[old orchid]

I love how optimize always give me SS Morty

[toxic cobalt]

Sycamoreeeee

[void wyvern]

Please tell me the aggravation parameter is here

[toxic cobalt]

You can do it

Wait what am I doing this week

[swift swan]

R1: Special damage reduction at start
R2: Stat-lowering effects are more effective
R3: Half sync countdown (be careful who you fight here, Koga and Karen are not recommended)
R4: Permanent field effects
R5: Sync buffs are more effective

I'm crying

[keen jasper]

Half sync, what a nightmare

[void wyvern]

[toxic cobalt]

R4 R4 R4

!!!

[swift swan]

well... I need to adjust my alphabet teams then

[void wyvern]

r4 my beloved

[zealous karma]

Half sync countdown?

CRYINF HALF SYNC XOUNTDOWN

[toxic cobalt]

RIP my Scottie run

[desert berry]

CS gives me depression

especially when you do it an hour before reset

[toxic cobalt]

Let’s do it now instead

[desert berry]

Yes

Is that a duck???

[swift swan]

then do it an hour after reset

like right now

[toxic cobalt]

Everything is a duck

[toxic cobalt]

You have AnniLili job done bye will.

[desert berry]

I should I should

[spring fable]

Which e4 is best for r1?

[desert berry]

[zealous karma]

HWAT IS THIS U UAVE EX CANDICE WHY????

[desert berry]

Which set parameter is good to use for Will?

[toxic cobalt]

Probably run Ghetsis for ice weak, probably on R3 unless anyone has a bright idea

[toxic cobalt]

Eh

[spring fable]

Which e4 does the most special this week

Dk who to r1

[toxic cobalt]

Oooh R2 cries out for Mina everyone

[desert berry]

1.5k pre sync?

[zealous karma]

If my HoliLeon wasn’t 3:5 I’d be crying and screaming more

[desert berry]

[toxic cobalt]

Again, that does nothing

[swift swan]

just making sure: in the hall of fame, the order of the units listed are: Center, Left, Right?

[toxic cobalt]

Yes it’s bloody annoying

[toxic cobalt]

2K presync

[desert berry]

Okay! Thanks

[swift swan]

Will is fully special

but honestly it barely matters. damage reduction screen at start just makes it hard to quadqueue

[swift swan]

if the order of my units are messed up this week I'm gonna cry

[toxic cobalt]

Well Nov you obviously do bug first

[swift swan]

[desert berry]

Who to best pair Anniv Lillie with?

[swift swan]

I'm curious how you came to that conclusion

[zealous karma]

I don’t understand Optimize

[desert berry]

Kinda don’t want to use SS Blue and Prof Syca early since they are my only EX supp

[zealous karma]

Kiawe DPS real!

[swift swan]

my r3 is gonna kill me

oh gosh

[zealous karma]

???

[toxic cobalt]

Literally any speed buffer it does not matter

[zealous karma]

What is the

Thought process

Of optimized

[desert berry]

Mkay thanks thanks!

[toxic cobalt]

Alder Aaron Bugsy

[swift swan]

???

[swift swan]

nice, I am using Alder

[toxic cobalt]

Oh well easy 2K

[swift swan]

Alder flanked with SS Brendan and C Calem

easy 2k

I'm only worried for my Koga team...

I have Ghetsis and SS Hilbert, but their names mean I'm using them R3

[zealous karma]

Can Karen just die plz

[swift swan]

and I absolutely can't run them together because my only letter I unit is Iris, no tank in that team

[zealous karma]

Noble roar spam and pray you survive sync 🐴

This vaguely resembles a team

[swift swan]

that sure is a team

[toxic cobalt]

Hop and Sol can duo

[desert berry]

Is it fine to do Hard mode first then Master Mode afterwards?

[toxic cobalt]

Iris is so good

[toxic cobalt]

Sure if you want

[desert berry]

Can still use

The pairs again or not?

If you change it to Master Mode

[swift swan]

as long as you reset

[desert berry]

Ohhh

Okay

Thanks!

[spring fable]

Argh will has impervious

[toxic cobalt]

Will exists to troll

[spring fable]

Is fantina or giovanni a better shadow baller?

[void wyvern]

Will really be like “I reject debuffs!”

[swift swan]

Most good nukers don't need the debuffs anyway

Ssrc did 70k without debuffs

[polar dome]

when was the last time we had giovanii rerun btw

[swift swan]

#1006618823123800106 message

Check there

[polar dome]

oh

[swift swan]

Can't run Ghetsis, SS Hilbert, and Iris in the same team tho gauge where

So rn my plan is Glacia, SS Hilbert, Iris on R3

Haha Glacia 10k MM debut
