With Regen i can't unless i use sync acceleration

dark osprey
#

Have to say that SSN's two turn move is really good in that way

mellow linden
#

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

onyx ice
#

Just queue fly as the last action of the 3rd turn

dark osprey
mellow linden
dark osprey
#

Just that super effective needed on fly to reduce sync countdown is a bummer

mellow linden
#

So the order will be Fly attack -> Sync

onyx ice
mellow linden
#

I will go test this right now

onyx ice
#

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

mellow linden
#

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

onyx ice
#

Regen 100% screws it

#

Didn't tested weather

mellow linden
#

Turns out I’m simply blind and never noticed that Classic Giovanni gives the whole team Gradual Healing with his Trainer Move

onyx ice
#

I need sync countdown to counter Regen

tired sleet
#

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

clever bronze
#

How are my teams for this week?

#

Think I’m missing fighting psychic steel and fairy if anyone can confirm

nocturne pawn
#

you are

proud axle
#

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

nocturne pawn
#

evasion hacks

#

ez

clever bronze
nocturne pawn
#

do you have bertha

#

if so

clever bronze
#

yes

nocturne pawn
#

then drop nita from diantha and use ccalem there

#

and bertha for malva

#

since she has sand on entry

proud axle
#

The short answer is to just throw another weather unit in Janine's slot

mellow linden
#

Isn’t this for Hard Mode?

nocturne pawn
proud axle
#

It is, but I'm still kinda worried about Sun+FlareBlitz+ChargingSun5

nocturne pawn
#

its just easier to swap ccalem for bertha on malva

proud axle
#

That's kind of a lot

mellow linden
#

Fair enough

nocturne pawn
#

and then use ccalem over nita

clever bronze
#

it's a new cs

proud axle
#

Bertha's pretty sturdy so that plan could work too

clever bronze
nocturne pawn
#

removing sun instantly makes malva pretty fangless

clever bronze
#

i have ingo

nocturne pawn
#

just use bertha imo

clever bronze
#

or is insta sand ut

proud axle
#

Does your Wikstrom team have enough speed...? HilbertHmm

clever bronze
#

it

nocturne pawn
#

shes easier to just leave and forget

nocturne pawn
clever bronze
#

idk giga

#

it's 1/5 ssrc

nocturne pawn
#

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

proud axle
#

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 HilbertHmm

#

Mewtwo is Psychic, and that's one of your missing types...

clever bronze
#

diantha has close combat

#

flying weak

proud axle
clever bronze
#

i read the pins

nocturne pawn
#

i think she only uses it after post sync

proud axle
#

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

clever bronze
proud axle
#

Gio's got great base speed, so that might alleviate the issue

clever bronze
#

oh i forgot fire

proud axle
#

New problem I didn't see until now:
Aaron can't give him SpA...

#

Feck

clever bronze
#

should i save ss lusamine offtype for next week?

proud axle
#

Perhaps

clever bronze
#

i have 2/5 sc jasmine

nocturne pawn
#

honestly i think ur overthinking it a lot

proud axle
#

Normal is double-represented again with GioPersian here. Think think thonk...

nocturne pawn
#

like its only hard it wont be that bad

clever bronze
#

it's discussion

#

marley for drasna

#

sycamore with gio

proud axle
#

I guess "Gio doesn't have SpA" can be worked around by giving him the first sync for mega

clever bronze
#

he has ex now

proud axle
#

So he can Psystrike

#

Ah, that might be even better

#

Only worry is that Sycamore is Steel-weak

clever bronze
#

damn there's always a catch

proud axle
clever bronze
#

do you have a section in stage clears giga?

proud axle
#

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)

clever bronze
proud axle
#

Still going back and forth between using Raihan (EX and stronger move) or Kimono Grimsley (not EX but can sync snipe) for Diantha 2

clever bronze
#

thanks for helping/playing along giga

nocturne pawn
#

weak to ground had me going 💀

proud axle
#

Oof

clever bronze
#

i don't bother with his gamble

#

i use iron head

nocturne pawn
#

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 💀

proud axle
# clever bronze

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

clever bronze
#

🧠

#

and cronine with red

#

i have ss hilbert for bug weak next week

proud axle
#

I'm not sure how much help Red even needs against Siebold WulfricKEKW

clever bronze
#

none

proud axle
#

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

clever bronze
#

so i only need fighting, steel, and bug next week?

clever bronze
#

after an hour i can finally play the game

nocturne pawn
#

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

clever bronze
#

bug week 2?

nocturne pawn
#

next week

proud axle
#

That's okay

nocturne pawn
#

yeah

#

but uh

clever bronze
#

i have ss hilbert

proud axle
#

They're using a special attacker

nocturne pawn
#

that

#

jesus fuck

#

240

proud axle
#

Yeeeahhhh

clever bronze
#

and ex lusamine

proud axle
#

It has the same attack power as his hecking sync WEEZing

clever bronze
#

now what order should i battle them in?

#

i didn't look at params yets

clever bronze
#

it's a 4 bar move

#

balanced

nocturne pawn
#

bro that’s literally hyper beam tier

#

💀

zealous karma
#

All units are made equally

nocturne pawn
#

i mean its also an aoe

clever bronze
#

r1- malva
r2- wikstrom
r3- siebold
r4- drasna

#

any thoughts?

nocturne pawn
#

194 for an aoe is really good

zealous karma
zealous karma
nocturne pawn
#

i mean thats a hyper beam reskin aint it

zealous karma
proud axle
#

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

zealous karma
#

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 HilbertHmm

tired sleet
#

It has 100% acc, but it’s a normal move

zealous karma
#

Ohhhh

proud axle
#

Ah, so it is.

#

It's just... cheating the same way type-shift Hyper Beam does

zealous karma
#

I wasn’t even aware it was a normal type move

proud axle
#

Neither did I, though it makes complete sense that it is one

#

Its whole job is to type-shift, even in the main series

tired sleet
#

Curious, what type did you think it was ShauntalNote

zealous karma
#

I just thought it was bug

#

I wasn’t even aware Sshilbert had the bug shift passive

proud axle
#

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 MonkaScottie

old orchid
#

smh cant change types with drives lol

tired sleet
#

If it was released in a more recent gen, it totally would actually change type

old orchid
paper summit
#

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

tired sleet
#

That’s fair

proud axle
#

(Do we pronounce its name Gene Sect or do we pronounce it like "Genesis" but with "sect" as the last syllable)

tired sleet
#

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

zealous karma
#

I pronounce it Gen a sect

tired sleet
#

That’s basically the same as that 2nd option

#

Gen eh sect, Gen a sect, potato patato

toxic cobalt
#

I pronounce it genesect

tired sleet
#

So apparently it’s “Jen-uh-sekt”

||And this is all very relevant to the cs thread HapuStare ||

#

That’s how i’ve always said it BedeSmug

swift swan
#

I need to know how to pronounce genesect, otherwise I'd refer to it as "fossil resurrected as mechatronic" to new players! BlobPanic

paper summit
#

Genesect is a paradox pokemon, confirmed

proud axle
#

I mean, it's in good company in this series

paper summit
#

tbh all fossil pokemon kind of fall into that category

swift swan
paper summit
#

more like Gen 1

proud axle
#

Missingno. intensifies

paper summit
#

Huh? Missingno is a glitch, paradox pokemon are not that

swift swan
#

the whole SV sure is glitchy tho

grand steppe

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 recall seeing him solo an entire week of Hoenn CS

Uhhh I'm checkin CSMM next week and THIS ONE SEEMS ANNOYING???

Wikstorm sets steel zone

#

Wow

#

New CS regions generally have annoying gimmicks

onyx ice
#

The newer cs are harder than the earlier ones

keen jasper
#

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 GWjojoGachiWoke

trail smelt
#

Finish yo type clears and do Kalos CS MM for the first time

full mesa
#

SSTRed/Ash/SSACynthia-Bea/SSSteven/Twin Frogs. I think I'm covered.

#

For now and in general.

proud axle
trail smelt
#

I mean saying that about Kalos is something haha

#

Since we haven’t experienced it yet

sand karma
#

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

old orchid
#

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

sand karma
#

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

spring fable
#

will 1/5 calem, 3/5 wally and 2/5 bea be a good team for 2k Wikstrom?

old orchid
formal vigil
old orchid
#

Preferly a mega support

toxic cobalt
#

It’s gonna be fun!

formal vigil
#

I think there talking about fighting wally

old orchid
#

Oh OG Wally MortySigh

spring fable
#

yupp og wally

old orchid
#

Well my point is still good, just ignore the mega part

mellow linden
#

Bea + Hilbert + 2nd Support is probably gonna be the ideal team if you don't have SSA Cynthia

spring fable
#

hmm

#

skyla?

sand karma
spring fable
formal vigil
#

Also has the master passive and physical move up next

old orchid
#

Its CCalem??? Lmao

#

I thought you said OG Calem

formal vigil
spring fable
#

sorry

#

i didnt specify

spring fable
#

hahah sorry

old orchid
#

Is he exed?

spring fable
#

yes

#

but 1/5

old orchid
#

he should tank well

dark osprey
#

Does 1/5 C Calem tank well on them new age CSs?

old orchid
#

he has good bulk, and a bit healing

#

if you are not confident can bring a defense buffer / a healer

dark osprey
#

Oh. Don't have him. Just curious but yeah the stats did seem good

spring fable
#

oh ty!

sand karma
#

Does wikky have field extension?

dark osprey
#

Guess not

old orchid
#

no

dark osprey
#

So quad queue ruined

sand karma
#

Won't CCalem changing zone be a bit too late then?

#

Since it's time based and not turn

dark osprey
#

Yeah true

#

Mainly need to tank those first 3 hits

#

Or just stall the zone I guess

sand karma
#

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

dark osprey
#

Yeah. Worst case, can even sleep cheese

full mesa
#

Or flinch.

#

Or sync countdown accel

dark osprey
#

Don't know if sync countdown accel helps that much if they're attacks are difficult to survive. Will have to see

void wyvern
#

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.

proud axle
#

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

dark osprey
#

Fight steel with steel maybe with hop and healthy benefits

sand karma
#

His attack and spatk is a whopping 1301 like fire weak Glacia and psychic weak flint so CyrusSweat

mellow linden
#

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”

paper summit
#

Well, you can just reset, but yeah, it'll be funny to see tanks get one shot in another stage sometimes

mellow linden
#

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

void wyvern
#

Endurance with heals might be useful here to survive.

dark osprey
#

Yeah piers is also a decent option

#

Just hope for a few mprs though

void wyvern
#

Piers is risky in that you’ll need some sync accel otherwise queue will get ruined,

dark osprey
#

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

rotund lagoon
#

PSA, I’m gonna clear CS in a sec, so I won’t be able to do any more test teams for this week!

weak sleet
#

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.

rotund lagoon
#

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??

zealous karma
#

Can replace hilbert with hop

weak sleet
rotund lagoon
#

Don’t forget Rock has sentryentryx2 so you are gonna need to change that.

mellow linden
#

Even generally I’d recommend using a Support other than Skyla on the Flying team

zealous karma
#

It’s not 2K and Olivia has a good nuke

mellow linden
#

Sentry Entry x2

zealous karma
#

They have double defense

rotund lagoon
#

Sentry Entry X2, doubles their defense.

mellow linden
#

Defense is doubled

Oh

I was wondering what that meant, gross

This isn’t the first time…

Electric week Aaron has it if you’re familiar with him

Oh fuck that’s right

Could change things up for sure.

You don’t want to go for 15 types, Ariel?

#

Would you like to see what I used?

weak sleet
#

Yes please

rotund lagoon
#

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 sentryentryx2 T-T

zealous karma
#

Wow fighting wikstrom twice

rotund lagoon
#

It was fun :0

weak sleet
#

Is Cyrus a dragon or water type for the medal?

paper summit
#

Sync move

rotund lagoon
#

Dragon.

#

Categorized by sync.

paper summit
#

That's what counts

weak sleet
#

Why that team for dianthia? I'm curious how that works. I have everyone for that.

rotund lagoon
#

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.

weak sleet
#

Oh that makes sense

#

Do I have to grid any of them?

rotund lagoon
#

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 Corb SophoKEK

#

Also my SS Erika is stuck at 2/5

weak sleet
rotund lagoon
#

Are they damage dealers or the fillers?

#

The fillers don’t need to be gridded

weak sleet
#

Mostly garbage filler stuff like Brock and onix

rotund lagoon
#

Yeah don’t worry about the fillers for this.

weak sleet
#

I'm not sure if I need to level anyone further.

rotund lagoon
#

Any reason you’re sticking with both SSR Cynthia and Anni Lillie? Or using Hilbert on that team?

weak sleet
#

Well speed for Hilbert

#

I'm not sure how else to do ghost damage honestly.

rotund lagoon
#

I think you should use either Anni Lillie or Cynthia, not both. Considering Hilbert is there, probably Cynthia.

weak sleet
#

She is strong enough to do it?

rotund lagoon
#

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.

weak sleet
#

Oh I didn't think about the flinch

rotund lagoon
#

Do him instead of Lillie.

#

Will benefits from a lot of stat increases, which Hilbert provides.

weak sleet
rotund lagoon
#

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

weak sleet
#

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?

rotund lagoon
#

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.

weak sleet
#

Oh right I didn't think about that

rotund lagoon
#

Yee

weak sleet
#

Okay I'll give this a try

rotund lagoon
weak sleet
#

Zygarde literally one shot sync killed everyone

rotund lagoon
#

Whichever you feel works (I did the top tho)

weak sleet
#

And like that all clear, although darach almost didn't make it.

#

Thanks!

rotund lagoon
#

Great!!

dusty crater
#

@grand steppe what do you mean by the quadqueue on Wikstrom?

grand steppe
#

Wikstrom sets ZONE_STEEL when he enters the battle.
On the player's sync turn, it's going to end causing the AI to queue a move.

dusty crater
#

So it stops any type of quadqueueing on that turn if you have your sync?

grand steppe
#

Assuming, the player isn't utilizing sync countdown acceleration.

proud axle
#

It's the same problem as Quick Tempo, or Entry Phys/Special Shield

tired sleet
#

So i guess you really want to defog/override it

#

Or denial left side

Aren’t the only Defoggers non-boosted?

#

Wdym boosted, this is CS? You mean off type?

trail smelt
#

Hoo hoo Kalos CS MM how exciting

rigid flint
#

He does lower Atk

#

Tho ngl Atk and SpAtk debuffs don’t reduce damage much in CS

#

They still hit for like 200+ damage

proud axle
#

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"

tired sleet
#

Better than nothing; and he could also be good to indirectly buff the accuracy of focus blast/cross chop

While also generating gauge

proud axle
#

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.

zealous karma
#

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

But if you had -6 spd and paralysis on your units you’d be cryimg

#

Wikstrom only has 65 speed MonkaScottie

#

And he's weak to Speed Down

#

His sidekicks have 198 but they have zero Speed Down resistance

zealous karma
#

Watch them sto have good gauge

#

I will count on it

proud axle
#

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...

trail smelt
#

Speed down meta could work? Haha

proud axle
#

Gotta be difficult to stay light on his feet in all that heckin' platemail

tired sleet
proud axle
#

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? HilbertHmm

zealous karma
#

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 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

Wish the F2P clears had a little more variety tbh

So I don’t really watch them

I usually just on type bug with Noland hop and bugsy

So I will off type with Cyrus I think, and then I’ll use Barry for wayer

Iirc Champ Serena is the strongest Water nuke in the game

That’s not on type is my issue

paper summit

it's Power Play twice ffs

mellow linden

By a huge margin

zealous karma

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

prime warren
#

500+ atk and +50 sync tile moment

paper summit
#

and the opposite of Rising Tide twice

#

and water rebuff of course

proud axle
prime warren

SCdiantha doesn't even stand chance when her field isn't reliable enuff for her to nuke in

paper summit
#

and you require Aura Cynthia, Serena can get rain even from an eggmon

paper summit
#

lol, that's gotta be the best lfg emote I've seen

prime warren
#

I hope siebold can be nuked down by escavalier

paper summit

possibly, Entry x2 passives make it so you are basically "off typing"

prime warren

OOF
Offtype escavalier is mediocre coz no zone PrycePain

paper summit
#

huh? wdym no zone?

prime warren
#

Well atleast no other gimmick to look out

#

I don't got scingo

zealous karma
#

Do you have colress or Kukui?

prime warren
#

I use bugscyther and sonia with him

#

Thinking of using colress but he feels harder to slot than either of em

main crow
#

What's the move level of your SCEmmet?

prime warren
#

3/5

zealous karma
#

You should be fine

#

Just replace bugsy with colress and GGs

main crow
#

You got his other sync multipliers available, shouldn't be the hardest thing

paper summit
#

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

prime warren
#

So colress better ShauntalNote

paper summit
#

I beat Lucian with Burgh, you'll be fine lol

zealous karma
#

Who do you use alongside burgh?

paper summit
#

I used to run him with SS Morty and PDawn

tired sleet
#

Probably like Lucian or smth

paper summit
#

yeah, Lucian is another good option

tired sleet
#

Ideally, SS Morty and a SpDef debuffer (or Bede/Anni Raihan, who do both), but he works with just SpDef debuffs in a pinch

paper summit
#

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

prime warren
#

I actually prefer Lucian over paldawn for basically everything

#

The +1 spd is so good

#

Paldawn has suk gauge

paper summit
#

yeah, he offers speed on top of the other perks, that's nice

#

you trade that for slower debuffing tho, but still

tired sleet
#

Pal Dawn doesn’t debuff speed?

paper summit
#

I meant how fast they do it

#

bad phrasing

prime warren
#

She has charm and fake tears for debuffs

#

If only paldawn ripple effect was guaranteed WhitneySad

tired sleet
#

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

my idea of using SS Diantha as a boost to Wally's Cakewalk wasn't bad at all lol, love Rock Zone overriding steel CynthiaSmug

only issue could be Rock Slide from the right after Wikstrom is gone, but that's assuming they were still alive WEEZing

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

keen jasper

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

R2 Siebold for me would be

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

if that team fails (i hope not), use flinchlock team

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

Only if you're very confident with your nukes

Much less inflated final HP

I've shown you the final stats of HP 2 vs Strength 1 before, they're very stark

can you even stall kalos cs
