Have to say that SSN's two turn move is really good in that way
It’s actually not doable in general without Sync accel
Sync countdown doesn’t decrease when using Fly until the attack portion has queued
Source: tried to do it with Palentine’s Elesa once
But without Regen i have the time to click the sync before the invulnerability expires
Just queue fly as the last action of the 3rd turn
Oh shoot. Pal Elesa seems fun to experiment with
What I’m saying is that the Fly attack will be queued before you can queue Sync
Just that super effective needed on fly to reduce sync countdown is a bummer
So the order will be Fly attack -> Sync
Without Regen is fly > sync > landing
I will go test this right now
I do this all the times
But the fly unit can't have regen
(don't know if stuffs like hail or healing passives will screw the things, but renegade Cynthia super preparation doesn't screws things up
I stand corrected, it’s doable
Tested on Latios
I must’ve been too slow or had something like Hail screwing it up when I tried the 1st time
Turns out I’m simply blind and never noticed that Classic Giovanni gives the whole team Gradual Healing with his Trainer Move
Yes once i wanted to use him with NY lance, but i got screwed by Regen
I need sync countdown to counter Regen
You don’t even need adren if it’s the last move in a turn, or a sync itself
If you use a move after an ex support sync, that’ll be the 2nd move in a turn
How are my teams for this week?
Think I’m missing fighting psychic steel and fairy if anyone can confirm
you are
The Malva team... Calem can't summon the rain on turn 1, which might be a problem if she opens with Flare Blitz
Sun+Flare Blitz + Charging Sun 5 = owwwwww
can you recommend me another team if i post my units?
yes
then drop nita from diantha and use ccalem there
and bertha for malva
since she has sand on entry
The short answer is to just throw another weather unit in Janine's slot
Isn’t this for Hard Mode?
they want the type pieces im assuming
It is, but I'm still kinda worried about Sun+FlareBlitz+ChargingSun5
its just easier to swap ccalem for bertha on malva
That's kind of a lot
Fair enough
and then use ccalem over nita
it's a new cs
Bertha's pretty sturdy so that plan could work too

i mean like
removing sun instantly makes malva pretty fangless
i have ingo
just use bertha imo
or is insta sand ut
Does your Wikstrom team have enough speed...? 
it
shes easier to just leave and forget
it has ssr cynthia its dead as hell anyway

nah like
oh
mines 3/5
hmmm
i also had kiawe and mr so
yknow
maybe swap marley and gladion for drasna
shes the easiest e4 imo this rotation
so you shouldnt have any problems with her
You might also get your Normal representation by swapping Jasmine/Ampharos out for Leaf/Eevee (and ASteven loves her sync), and putting someone else in Gladion's place 
Mewtwo is Psychic, and that's one of your missing types...
Nita can tank
i read the pins
i think she only uses it after post sync
It's in her regular moveset, she can open with it IIRC
But Nita can take that hit
Plus Leaf brings potions so Nita can take many hits
Gio's got great base speed, so that might alleviate the issue
oh i forgot fire
should i save ss lusamine offtype for next week?
Perhaps
i have 2/5 sc jasmine
honestly i think ur overthinking it a lot
Normal is double-represented again with GioPersian here. Think think thonk...
like its only hard it wont be that bad
I guess "Gio doesn't have SpA" can be worked around by giving him the first sync for mega
he has ex now
So he can Psystrike
Ah, that might be even better
Only worry is that Sycamore is Steel-weak
damn there's always a catch

do you have a section in stage clears giga?
Hm?
I only went for 10/18 types this week; I planned both this week and next week at once
I'll get my teamcomps, they're a little different than when I last posted them
(When I last posted them, I forgot to include a status condition source for the next week's Diantha fight)
Still going back and forth between using Raihan (EX and stronger move) or Kimono Grimsley (not EX but can sync snipe) for Diantha 2
thanks for helping/playing along giga
kimono grimsley is fun but my god he was annoying to work with in this battle challenge
weak to ground had me going 💀
Oof
you should though
its not that difficult to use its just that the diantha battle challenge had sides with eq and aurorus had hyper voice
so there was a bunch of side sniping
and everyone had surging sand 💀
Ah... an answer appears.
We can get your rock representation from Roxanne instead of Kukui, and put her on the team with Gio and Cynthia. She has teamwide +Speed and can supply SpA to Gio, and she's not weak to any of Wikstrom's team
I'm not sure how much help Red even needs against Siebold 
Only way to make the Siebold fight easier is to have, like, James instead of Cronine. For Poison Gas
So you can skip the GMax move
And just go straight to Volt Tackling
so i only need fighting, steel, and bug next week?
after an hour i can finally play the game
which are also on type
i ended up leaving those types last by accident
but hey if it works it works
also beware siebold has sentry entry x2
next week
That's okay
i have ss hilbert
They're using a special attacker
Yeeeahhhh
It has the same attack power as his hecking sync 
Why is techno blast 240
All units are made equally
i mean its also an aoe
194 for an aoe is really good
This week is really easy so jt shouldnt matter
This one even has an accuracy penalty
i mean thats a hyper beam reskin aint it
In the main series they would have the same attack power
Normal-type moves in PMEX tend to be assigned higher attack power than other equivalent moves to attempt to compensate for being unable to hit weakpoints
Type-shifted Hyper Beam is just fucking cheating
Normal-type attack power pity bonus except not actually Normal-type
Ik lel
I looked at other 4 bar moves and most have a tax cause of status wield effect or bp norma boost, why is techno 240 
It has 100% acc, but it’s a normal move
Ohhhh
I wasn’t even aware it was a normal type move
Neither did I, though it makes complete sense that it is one
Its whole job is to type-shift, even in the main series
Curious, what type did you think it was 
I don't think I've ever had Genesect before. So when I saw the bug Techno Blast in his banner's preview, I just sort of... assumed that was its default. So it'd get STAB with it.
Joke's on me, apparently it can't get STAB with Techno Blast 
smh cant change types with drives lol
If it was released in a more recent gen, it totally would actually change type

well, it was more a design decision
Rotom was created a generation before Genesect
granted for that guy it works a bit different
but there is also Arceus, who does change type depending on the plate, not only Judgment is affected
That’s fair
(Do we pronounce its name Gene Sect or do we pronounce it like "Genesis" but with "sect" as the last syllable)
The 2nd one I’m pretty sure
I’ve watched the genesect movie; i don’t recall the prononciation being different from what i thought
I pronounce it Gen a sect
I pronounce it genesect
So apparently it’s “Jen-uh-sekt”
||And this is all very relevant to the cs thread
||
That’s how i’ve always said it 
very relevant and important indeed
I need to know how to pronounce genesect, otherwise I'd refer to it as "fossil resurrected as mechatronic" to new players! 
Genesect is a paradox pokemon, confirmed
I mean, it's in good company in this series
tbh all fossil pokemon kind of fall into that category
BW predicted the gen 9 gimmick!
more like Gen 1
Missingno. intensifies
Huh? Missingno is a glitch, paradox pokemon are not that
the whole SV sure is glitchy tho
I wonder if my whole life is a glitch, and I'm going to suddenly wake up-- Game Boy Color in hand -- surfing on the edge of Cinnabar Island, bouncing between TV channels: Fox Kids & Kids WB to catch both Digimon & Pokemon
sages u ok bud
I wonder if my whole life is a glitch and I wake up as a sync pair that supposedly counters the entire Hoenn Champion Stadium at once but whoever is controlling me doesn't have the slightest bit of games mechanics
I get pikachu? Cool 
Uhhh I'm checkin CSMM next week and THIS ONE SEEMS ANNOYING???
Siebold needs special bug
Wikstorm sets steel zone
Wow
New CS regions generally have annoying gimmicks
The newer cs are harder than the earlier ones
It all started on Sinnoh CS
I can't wait once Paldea CS comes in 2 years and they started implementing rebuffs
Also CSMM tomorrow 
Finish yo type clears and do Kalos CS MM for the first time
SSTRed/Ash/SSACynthia-Bea/SSSteven/Twin Frogs. I think I'm covered.
For now and in general.
I feel like Hoenn and Kalos are easier than Sinnoh 
I mean saying that about Kalos is something haha
Since we haven’t experienced it yet
It's very roster dependent
If you don't have counters to the gimmicks they can make life very hard
Esp newer players
Fairy is a sore spot in all cs
Sinnoh has steel weak Bertha that crushes Solgaleo with head start
And many wise entries
Hoenn has abhorrent bulk so it becomes really difficult for the niche types like ghost and fairy and it has that sentry entry steel Glacia
Kalos looks even more restrictive with weathers, zones, bulk, sentry entry rock weak malva, multiple guaranteed status, sentry entry bug weak siebold, and post sync nightmare Wikstrom who also happens to have ghost weakness
I have a good roster and the hardest region not counting Kalos is Sinnoh, since it has many entry x2 stages, especially Bug weak Lucian since i dont have SCEmmet
But atleast their hp is only around 17k
I got away with SSWally on wise entry Cynthia
(But it's SSWally) and most people here would agree it's doable with Mina
will 1/5 calem, 3/5 wally and 2/5 bea be a good team for 2k Wikstrom?
I dont have much trouble on Cynthia, its just the some CS stages limit my choice for dmg dealer. And some bs stages like Psychic weak Flint. The dude one shot SS Blue at full health
You will likely struggle with guage alot with that team replace wally with a speed buffer
No, replace Calem with another tank
Preferly a mega support
It’s gonna be fun!
I think there talking about fighting wally
Oh OG Wally 
yupp og wally
Well my point is still good, just ignore the mega part
Bea + Hilbert + 2nd Support is probably gonna be the ideal team if you don't have SSA Cynthia
PTSD
Resetting to avoid opener flare blitz
my thought process for including calem was
- atk and crit supp
- can replace wikstrom's zone with dark zone
- gauge supp? cause wally and bea drinks gauges
Also has the master passive and physical move up next

Just Calem 
hahah sorry
Is he exed?
he should tank well
Does 1/5 C Calem tank well on them new age CSs?
he has good bulk, and a bit healing
if you are not confident can bring a defense buffer / a healer
Oh. Don't have him. Just curious but yeah the stats did seem good
oh ty!
Does wikky have field extension?
Guess not
no
So quad queue ruined
Won't CCalem changing zone be a bit too late then?
Since it's time based and not turn
I feel if you're not clearing zone at the start you can just go ahead and tank it anyway
Maybe flinch centre
I'm planning Elio/Hilbert, Darach and Wally
Hopefully wik becomes as crippled as Bertha without her sand
He gets 30% from passive and the innate 50% from zone
So no way I'm keeping the zone
shudders
Yeah. Worst case, can even sleep cheese
Don't know if sync countdown accel helps that much if they're attacks are difficult to survive. Will have to see
Keep in mind that steel zone will only be active until about your first sync so flinch, sleep, and regen can stall out the timer.
Damage Guard...
Which funnily is on the sync pair intended to counter the Steel Zone anyway
Could use another pair's Max Guard or something though
Fight steel with steel maybe with hop and healthy benefits
His attack and spatk is a whopping 1301 like fire weak Glacia and psychic weak flint so 
Oh, is that why Fighting weak Wikstrom is concerning without SSA Cynthia? Didn’t realize he had the potential to pull a “Flint’s 1k damage Fire Blast opener”
Well, you can just reset, but yeah, it'll be funny to see tanks get one shot in another stage sometimes
I still remember when I tried to 2k Flint on a “special moves are boosted” round
Saw a 1.2k Fire Blast and decided to fight him later
Endurance with heals might be useful here to survive.
Piers is risky in that you’ll need some sync accel otherwise queue will get ruined,
Oh. I don't use obstruct on piers. Just the unlimited endures
But with the hope of tm mprs
Just hope that he can take like 2 hits or so
Then 3 endures with TM is great
PSA, I’m gonna clear CS in a sec, so I won’t be able to do any more test teams for this week!
~~Hopefully no one asks last minute for help
~~
Lol

Darach’s defog could be nice for Wikstrom
I don’t even know what to expect at reset, but I’m excited about completing 10k Kalos for the first time
And I hate mondays lol
Oops, forgot Malva has
, yet I took her down with SC Hilda anyway
Hilda! Hilda!
week 130 has rock weak malva again. double diancie time
Done!!
I didn’t forget and steamrolled them with subway bros anyway 
Lol nice
Victors max move even after support Ex nuked the entire stage
No different than CSMm normally 
wdym even after support EX? Of course it's gonna be strong after that, why wouldn't it?
Sentry entry is lame happy ambiguous cresture
Come back to us when you try the "funny" 3k memes
Will do 
Inb4 crying and screaming
I love doing both!
I have no confidence in bug or steel
I’m going to be forced into using burgh
Pain
sweats in gradual healing
So I was wondering if I could have some help to fix these to use more types for the medals this week?
Usually I use Snorlax for normal.
So SST Red and Zerena should be self sustaining, you can switch the teammates out.
Just plop any random peeps
Also Skyla is used twice??
For 3K I’m forced to take it lel
Can replace hilbert with hop
Yeah these are my default teams so that's definitely gotta change...
Don’t forget Rock has
so you are gonna need to change that.
Even generally I’d recommend using a Support other than Skyla on the Flying team
Olivia will be fine
What is that?
It’s not 2K and Olivia has a good nuke
Sentry Entry x2
They have double defense
Sentry Entry X2, doubles their defense.
Defense is doubled
This isn’t the first time…
Electric week Aaron has it if you’re familiar with him
He dies so fast to Pikachu power I barely even notice 😅
Back in my day the rats didn’t exist
SST Red has Piercing Blows.
That doesn’t ignore sentry entry
And Ash just takes care of it anyway lmao
X2
Oh fuck that’s right
He’s still OP af tho lol
But anyway, I think I count….7 types on those teams?
Could change things up for sure.
Richu with the grandpa Simpson impression, yelling at a cloud
Old 🐴
You don’t want to go for 15 types, Ariel?
Swapped the electric and dragon around a bit if those two can single clear it. But maybe Marley is better with ghost? I really don't know.
The more the better
Would you like to see what I used?
Yes please
Ofc you can change ones you do not have, but mine was mainly plopping a third teammate on top of damage dealers sufficed by one Support.
Also my SC Hilda was cause I forgot about
T-T
Wow fighting wikstrom twice
It was fun :0
Is Cyrus a dragon or water type for the medal?
Sync move
That's what counts
Why that team for dianthia? I'm curious how that works. I have everyone for that.
Flying requires a physical damage dealer. I didn’t feel like using Kahli (but damn Darach was my MVP) so I off typed. Also was a good excuse to get Grass and Fire in.
Are there any you haven’t? I think Cyrus is the big one.
At the point I’m at, I’m trying to use all my

Also my SS Erika is stuck at 2/5
There's like only a few I haven't gridded
Mostly garbage filler stuff like Brock and onix
Yeah don’t worry about the fillers for this.
Is this a bit better?
I'm not sure if I need to level anyone further.
Any reason you’re sticking with both SSR Cynthia and Anni Lillie? Or using Hilbert on that team?
I think you should use either Anni Lillie or Cynthia, not both. Considering Hilbert is there, probably Cynthia.
She is strong enough to do it?
This is Hard Mode, I don’t think you should worry on that front
And no better way to find out than to test that team.
Also why not stick Will down? I use his Air Slash for Flinching Aegislash then Stored Power when he gets enough stats.
Oh I didn't think about the flinch
Do him instead of Lillie.
Will benefits from a lot of stat increases, which Hilbert provides.
Do I need to grid will? Apparently he is one of the few I have never gridded....
Lemme see…
Ah right, I did grid him.
I’ll send the whole thing
The main tiles I would worry about are Fortuitous and Aggravation 1 on Air Slash
Thanks, having too many orbs is a blessing sometimes 😅
Well I guess I can give this a try? Is there an order I need battle these people?
You saw my list, right? If you’re almost copying my teams, try that.
R3 isn’t as recommended for Wikstrom, but Will’s flinch should work just fine if you keep using it.
Oh right I didn't think about that
Yee
Okay I'll give this a try

Zygarde literally one shot sync killed everyone
Does this matter for Diantha?
Whichever you feel works (I did the top tho)
Great!!
@grand steppe what do you mean by the quadqueue on Wikstrom?
Wikstrom sets
when he enters the battle.
On the player's sync turn, it's going to end causing the AI to queue a move.
So it stops any type of quadqueueing on that turn if you have your sync?
Assuming, the player isn't utilizing sync countdown acceleration.
It's the same problem as Quick Tempo, or Entry Phys/Special Shield
Gauge: 2 | Power: - | Accuracy: - | Uses: 2
Target: An opponent
Effect Tag: -
Clears the entire terrain and zone effects. Clears all field effects from the opponents' field of play. Lowers the target's evasiveness by 1 stat rank.
Darach & Staraptor
Lisia & Altaria
Zones, Terrains, and things like Reflect, Light Screen, Crit Shield.
It doesn't affect Weather.
Aren’t the only Defoggers non-boosted?
Wdym boosted, this is CS? You mean off type?
Hoo hoo Kalos CS MM how exciting
Well Darach can kinda help
He does lower Atk
Tho ngl Atk and SpAtk debuffs don’t reduce damage much in CS
They still hit for like 200+ damage
Next week's Wikstrom fight is also mixed anyway, so it won't even help against about half the enemy's offense
Right sidekick is full phys, left sidekick is full special, Wikstrom himself is mixed leaning special
It'd mostly just be "screw your Steel Zone and Gauge Accel"
And in Master Mode, also "Screw your Phys shield, Spec shield, and Crit shield"
Better than nothing; and he could also be good to indirectly buff the accuracy of focus blast/cross chop
While also generating gauge
I do wonder, though...
Wikstrom's team is very loaded with 3gauge moves. Wikstrom himself has Quick Tempo and both sidekicks have Metallic Accel 2.
If we defog the accel field and the Steel Zone away, might they actually run out of gauges?
With grid, Darach can also nerf enemy Speed
I don't feel like being the one to try it, but I'm kinda curious if it might actually work.
Even with paralysis and -6 spd I’ve never seen the enemy struggle with gauge
Even if it’s with like 3-4 bar loves
Moves
Only one I ever see struggle is Tapu Bulu haha
But if you had -6 spd and paralysis on your units you’d be cryimg
Wikstrom only has 65 speed 
And he's weak to Speed Down
His sidekicks have 198 but they have zero Speed Down resistance
Actually, KO denials are looking great now
They completely obliterate his gauge income
Wikstrom has three TMs, so it won't hold out forever. But still...
Speed down meta could work? Haha
Gotta be difficult to stay light on his feet in all that heckin' platemail
So they want you to use Wally? ||(Or SC Diantha but I’m saying Wally)||
In this case it's still The Case For Using Darach
Griddable Slo-Mo 9 and innate Ripple Effect
Seems you can only lower his speed to -1 with that (Feather Dance stops succeeding once the enemy is at -6Atk, and Wikstrom can regain 2Speed via X Speed All)
So maybe Wally it is? 
Doesn’t slow Mo also work for his brave bord
It also works for defog
Unless it was specific to his feather dance which idt it was
Oh it is
I was thinking of weighed down
Another easy CS.
Idk why but seeing chat looked wrong for a second
Dang calling Kalos CS easy what roster do you have lel
we haven't even experienced Kalos CSMM lol
on paper, some of them look nasty
buuut we'll see
Pre syncing :)
I know the gaming eevee almost exclusively does post sync
I wonder how they’ll manager
Cause a lot of the Kalos staves have inmates
Ina res
Innates
huh, didn't know that, tbh I don't pay too much attention to their clears, they tend to be... not ideal as a guide imo
I just like watching them lel
But ye I feel it’s for a certain kind of F2P player
With my F2P guides when I do them I try to make them like widely available to an extent
I might do one for Kalos depending on if I see many struggling with Kalos
So I heard you like Barry

Who’s ready to bully Malva tomorrow?
What’s she weak too water?
I don’t even have a theme ready
yes
Think of one now, richu 
L + rip bozo + ratio + water is free
Winona + Sycamore + Cyrus, everyone has them
Unless you’re super unlucky regarding Winona
the other types are not particularly great funny enough lol
Do a 3 in one, units with their secondary move as main DPS, along with having to match at least 3 theme skills per team, no more than 4 different regions
but there are options for everything as usual
pick Alder in 2 weeks, problem solved
So I will off type with Cyrus I think, and then I’ll use Barry for wayer
3K
I’ll use may and kris and hold the champs for a harder fight
There’s no way we don’t get perma fields this reset
Guess I’ll have to think about that while at work
I’ll use Lusamime and burgh because I really want CIris
That’s why you get alder in the summon itself duh
another tech? 
I just really like her debuffing + sync accel Utility lel
True true
I’m fine with these units remaining at 1/5
Fake Serena fan
Well not lucian or darach I’d prefer them at 3/5
Not 5/5
She can 3K off type she’s fine 
it's not a matter of her needing the upgrades...
which will never happen lol

I was saving for SSDiantha but I had 3 already before I got her so lel
I love my 1/5 unit hitting 34K !
I really like this clear lel
Same with my recent dawn clear against Bruno 3K i think it showed off why I like using her so much
Think of the 5/5 damage
rookie numbers
I think that’s like 87K
I'm still mad I didn't get a screenshot of SS Wally hitting for 144k, flying pokemon ruined the chance 
Is it really that surprising?
Yes….
Iirc Champ Serena is the strongest Water nuke in the game
That’s not on type is my issue
it's Power Play twice ffs
By a huge margin
Im@easily surpised
What’s more surprising is SCDiantha being the highest nuker without rebuff
I get she has 3 multipliers that are like the full multiplier but still lel
Bug Siebold doesn't come back in two weeks, problem solved 
SCdiantha doesn't even stand chance when her field isn't reliable enuff for her to nuke in
and you require Aura Cynthia, Serena can get rain even from an eggmon
lol, that's gotta be the best lfg emote I've seen
possibly, Entry x2 passives make it so you are basically "off typing"
OOF
Offtype escavalier is mediocre coz no zone 
huh? wdym no zone?
Do you have colress or Kukui?
I use bugscyther and sonia with him
Thinking of using colress but he feels harder to slot than either of em
What's the move level of your SCEmmet?
3/5
You got his other sync multipliers available, shouldn't be the hardest thing
worst scenario, you off type with a special OP pair and call it a day, but I don't think that'll be the case
So colress better 
I beat Lucian with Burgh, you'll be fine lol
Who do you use alongside burgh?
I used to run him with SS Morty and PDawn
Probably like Lucian or smth
yeah, Lucian is another good option
Ideally, SS Morty and a SpDef debuffer (or Bede/Anni Raihan, who do both), but he works with just SpDef debuffs in a pinch
yeah, the alternative to Morty would be a support with the special defense drops and then a sun setter, if you want the full sync boost
I actually prefer Lucian over paldawn for basically everything
The +1 spd is so good
Paldawn has suk gauge
yeah, he offers speed on top of the other perks, that's nice
you trade that for slower debuffing tho, but still
Pal Dawn doesn’t debuff speed?
She has charm and fake tears for debuffs
If only paldawn ripple effect was guaranteed 
Lucian is great for setting up a strong 2nd sync, or if you want to debuff for a side denial
I feel robbed whenever it misses to aoe
Careful what you wish for; judging by her Lodge pair, they might try fixing this with On A Roll 1

I’m not looking forward to Drasna honestly

And I think I’m gonna have to try Steel a few times haha
I still haven't made my teams lmao
Business as usual haha
Me never planning my teams 
Mood. Just throw random stuff and hope it works.
Just wing your team tbh
WOO LAST MINUTE PEOPLE! Almost time
MM time

Round 1: Preemptive Light Screen
Round 2: When a pokemon faints, entire team gets debuffed
Round 3: Sync buffs are more effective
Round 4: Additional effects of moves are more likely to occur
Champion Round: Physical moves deal more damage
Hell, Round 3 is a blessing when it shows up
Never in my life did I think “Yeah ssbrendan is going to get one shot”
I thought @
“ he’ll be fine”
What a quake fest I love it
Dragon Rush chunked Sycamore with def buffs even before I turned on master mode
4 quakes before sync WOW
What’re the odds of propulsion 1procking 6 times in one battle
May the goat
Why would she do this
Oh, not so bad
Just finished classes, gonna have lunch before tackling CS
my idea of using SS Diantha as a boost to Wally's Cakewalk wasn't bad at all lol, love Rock Zone overriding steel 
I did the same lol
only issue could be Rock Slide from the right after Wikstrom is gone, but that's assuming they were still alive 
Smh no ex wally
Unless the reason why they may not be alive is because he is exed
yeah, that's the thing, between my Wally being EX and Diantha's AoE spam
they just die 
18/18 done
Did a 10k off type run blind and holy shit they hit hard lol.
Drasna’s Dragon Rush/Pulse is also insane
Way easier than last week
Drasna dragon rush hits verrrry hard
I can't figure out the best turn order 😅 They're all the same to me
Wtf drasna's theme is a bop
This week wasn't too bad imo
I need to quadqueue for another mega horn after 2nd sync it seems
But can't pull it off
So close 
Damn, they all hit really hard
Megahorn->potion->mirror shot is the order
Dragonrush getting SSmorty to red and flashcannon destroying SSblue is funni 
Eugh why does Diantha have healthy advantage
Is it only her or does the sides have it too?
both sides have Tough Cookie
Man, I wanted to try Nessa's nuke against Malva but failed miserably
Recommended teams according to the tips:
Bug-weak Siebold: NY Lillie, Lucian, SS Hilbert
Water-weak Malva: SS Kris, Wallace, Summer Gloria
Fighting-weak Siebold: SSA Cynthia, SC Diantha, SC Guzma
Fairy-weak Drasna: Spring Burgh, Diantha, SS Wally
Steel-weak Diantha: Hop, Colress, Steven
I can replicate exactly none
I used Burgh for Siebold
Okay, I already know who to pick against R4 Drasna and R5 Diantha, but I still need to build good teams for R1 Malva, R2 Siebold and R3 Wikstrom
Is this good against R1 Malva in MM?
0/5 Colress and 0/5 SST Red 🥲
Alright, guess I'll just try
Guess ill try this mmhmm
Hard mode done, time for MM
Can that diantha team inflict status condition?
This isn't working out 😦
Both May and Archie can't survive Malva's sync...
Well, Malva's Sp. Atk. can't be lowered
And it shouldn't be
Should
Well, no, because I am trying to beat her before she can sync
But I am, like, 15% of her health short
Quadqueue?
Quadqueue should be possible with this. Grid ssb with adrenaline, sync with him first. Reach second sync safely. Profit.
8 Sync Moves with Guzma
why
WHY?!
he gets like 90k HP. for what purpose ;_;
at least i could kill the sides easy.
UGH
As expected
Drasna was THE WORST
… when I’m trying to monotype Fairy with no powerup sycamore, Bede, or SS Wally haha
The rest were easy and I gave up on Drasna with fairy. Killed her with Psychic team instead
Drasna seems like you need to rewrite the thing
No need, SS Blue has Adrenaline
Anyway, I was able to beat it after all
MM?
Yup
How many points?
For R1, I went the whole 2000 points
Nice
I'm pretty sure you can 2k all of them
Your roster is built up to that point now
Kalos feels hardest to tank hits but generally more doable than hoenn and sinnoh if you nuke down
Hoenn and sinnoh were felt harder to brute force than this one
Except for diantha coz diantha suk
Idk if it's just this week not hitting so hard or something else, but I feel like Hoenn still hits harder
Would you like to speak to Drasna?
I really hope THIS team is good enough for R2 Siebold...because I have no confidence...

#1011173305702690876 message yes 
He eats a lot of MG, tho
This week has the additional effect param. Just flinchlock drasna 
Idk what viola is there for
I used Burgh, SS Morty and Lodge Dawn for Siebold
can alder survive at least 1 sync
Then bring a fast support
Further debuffs
I think Siebold's sync is special?
I doubt Lusamine is gonna survive even at -6 sp atk and +6 sp def
Damn...
That's true tho
Funnily enough my bug team survived the sync pretty well
I was using Alder tho not the stick
Why are y'all postsyncing 
My Burgh almost defeated Siebold if it weren't for me queueing up Bug Buzz before Siebold synced
Oh I misclicked my first sync
...wait, how CAN Alder work if he eats a lot of move gauge and I need moves that eat little move gauge to reach sync attacks faster?
I was supposed to go with Aaron… but went Lodge Dawn instead LMAO
Siebold managed to sync with 1 HP left or so and tickled me with his sync
Then I beamed his ass lol
Bring a fast support who can buff the speed of the entire team
I brought two four-gauge users in Alder and SS hilbert this week. Smooth sailing
Who was the support
Aaron/Skyla (EX)/Aaron should let me cook Siebold then
double aaron?
o.o
he's very bulky
like DEF Bulky
but once you kill the sides
all you need to do is just Flinch .-.;
crap
forgot about no status conditions
Ss brendan
My favorite special support whenever my ss kris is occupied
That was a fun CSMM
Nope, not working out in the slightest
Alder can't survive Siebold's sync
Really? My Alder survived Siebold’s sync very comfortably
-6 special attack +… I wanna say 2 special defense?
She does
He was only able to survive it once, and he only had 10% of his health left 😦
Because of zone haha
Not to mention that Aaron also only barely survives the sync
Oh we were supposed to status Diantha? 😂 Jasmine/SCJasmine/PalMarnie ftw
I just had MSol smash her to the ground
Her sync is nasty strong 
Bruh
1/5 wally and bede
I have none of those units LMAO!
Fairy Zone required.
Well aside from sycamore obviously
Has nov not written a round bonus guide this week?
the only zones i have is Steel and Dark 😭
I thought we’re going with the new format of info in the pins
I was talking about the round bonuses like perma field etc
Go dark, sleep them to death and just zone after they zone
I find it hard to believe that team can't 2k
Someone wrote it but I guess it hasn't been pinned yet
...my initially planned R4 Drasna team doesn't work 😦
R1: Special damage reduction on entry
R2: When a pair faints, debuffs the stats of all team members
R3: Sync buffs are more effective (postsync is not recommended)
R4: Additional effects are more likely to occur (be careful with Wikstrom and Siebold here)
R5: Physical attacks are powered up
what team are you using?
can resort to stalling if you feel you cant beat her
This one
uhhh
Gotta check pal dawn's kit first, can she max crit?
Stalling won't work by default because Sycamore can't tank at all
Hop - PDawn or Mina - Sycamore then
Mina replaces P Dawn?
yeah she is better at dmg
Sycamore not being able to tank at all is the most ridiculous take I've read all week, and it's only Monday
Dragon Rush hits too hard smh
R4 is additional effects right? Flinchlock Drasna 
It's either that, or Drasna randomly became a Hydrogen Bomb
3 is generous
with crit buff he should be unkillable
Hmm okay, 3 but he dies on the 3rd one 
she flinch locks your tank instead
With crit it's a completely different story tho, yeah
k
I EX-ed her just for this moment
Coughing Sycamore vs Hydrogen Drasna 
Dragon rush is 20%, with that round param it becomes 40%. It's fineeee 
Oh damn, I forgot about restrain
Considering how much of my 40% water pulses failed to confuse Uxie in my LG runs
Gotta do it again 
So wait, do I replace Lillie with a flinch locker then or what?
Damn. I should've used Nessa this week. I knew something was missing
do Hop / Mina / Sycamore first, its easier to manage
Replace pal dawn with a more self sufficient damage dealer like Mina, or replace Lillie with Hop to buff crit
if that team fails (i hope not), use flinchlock team
Thanks 
Flinch is an option but it's iffy to pull off
Hop is already on my R5 team, tho
so BP Surge then
Since Cs isn't a scripted battle, we can't really predict when drasna decides haha dragon rush go brrr
I can replace Pal Dawn with Mina, though
...okay, def buff or sp def buff?
the mid has resistance to debuffs too
def buffs sice Sycamore can max spdef
thats why i recommended either Hop or BP Surge
Goofy ahh damage
😦
Nessa Sweep lfg baby
...nope, BP Surge/Mina/Sycamore isn't working out
is it drasna?
i tried redchu... still got punched
she hits extremely hard even without zone 😭
something went wrong?
what parameter did you use?
YAY I CLEARED KALOS MM
@proud axle i used celesa instead for diantha, worked wonders 🙂
Did you use Charm to debuff mid's attack and have Pecking Order gridded on Mina?
Her nuke should be good post support EX sync
and you even have good chip dmg from Hop
Who's the hardest for y'all?
I'd give this one to wikstrom
I kept praying he won't use eq
Pre-Sync, but with "Max HP ^2" instead of "No Stat Reduction"
and I did
do you have Adrenaline gridded on Sycamore?
Yup
you shouldnt pick HP up
Wait, what
Yup
pick Atk up 1
Do all the atk params
less health for them = easy win
Btw gakon
no need to, just pick one atk up
Is it better to pick strength 1 or ally hp -5
depends on team
HP 2 is not recommended
But Sycamore is already bad at surviving Drasna as is
Only if you're very confident with your nukes
Replace it with strength 1
Same 100 points
Much less inflated final HP
I've shown you the final stats of HP 2 vs Strength 1 before, they're very stark
keep spamming Horn Leech
and only use Moonblast when his health is full
Hop also has emergency Potions
Ally HP -5 is kinda iffy. I rarely take it, only when I'm running SS Dawn who can burst heal on sync. In most cases, strength 1 is safer
Yeahhh i don't want to nuke only to find out the opponent survived by the skin of their
Teeth thanks to increased hp
Oh, i mean healing - 20
Not hp
Ally healing down? I pick that most of the time
Not working out either
In presync your dmg dealer will kill before healing matters anyway
It feels like living on the edge but then again mm is
if you can record your gameplay, it will help us giving good advice
Except Mina can't 😦
So healing down over strength +1?
yeah
Won't be able to until I am back home, which won't be until another 7 hours at least
Oh I'm the opposite lol but that's just me
Do you have lodge Lillie?
...I actually do!
yeah can try her instead of Mina
She has se up
note that her dps isnt as good as Mina
She can be used alongside mina too
her main dmg source is from SEUN nuke
For the debuffs
Yeah that's for the third one lol
Hop Lodge Lillie Sycamore should work
Oh yeah sycamore can't crit lol
how is kalos cs? up there with hoenn/sinnoh cs levels of difficulty?
on par with Hoenn

might be easier/harder depends on your roster and skill
ill send what teams i can make later and judge it from that 
i already said it earlier
her dps isnt good
but her sync nuke is better than Mina, with SEUN
SEUN can affect syncs?
yes
But that one is ALSO weaker than Mina's
and max moves tô
wtf
you did something wrong
what grid is Lillie using?
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
use this instead
focus on nuking
use her TM before she uses sync move
to get SEUN
Ooh I'm done
I love Kalos
Wikky and Malva did not hold back
Drasna also hits quite hard but i used SsBlue
Diantha went down easier than i expected
I wouldn't have managed wik without elio sleephax
can you post your roster here?
either under move level tab or sync pair tracker site
sure thing
how did u beat 2k Wilkstrom
My team of Marnie’s Brother, Shiny Ho Oh support and SST Red keeps dying
do you SSA Cynthia?
or any zone setters that not named Palentine Marnie
or Darach or Lisia
to override / remove Steel Zone
should replace Piers, he does nothing in that team
no aura cynthia
I’m using both electric terrain + sunny to beat Steel zone but it didn’t help much
Strike
you dont have Lisia or Darach?
Even with this grid, Lodge Lillie's sync can't kill Drasna 😦
to avoid spamming like this
so switch to post sync params then
Are you sure Lodge Lillie can survive with post sync params?
yes
I have but I don’t think it would be much help in long term
let me try using sync pair tracker
