Champion Stadium

[marsh crater]

Enemy attck

I need dps on my team

[hidden ore]

How about Noland @grand trout ?

They have it

[grand trout]

No

Sentry entry x2 means no physical bugs

[hidden ore]

Offtype special ?

[grand trout]

Offtype with a special unit

[marsh crater]

Thats why i tried off typing ss lysandre

[grand trout]

Yes

[marsh crater]

Xerneas volcanion and …?

Surprisingly i beat drasna without xerneas

My ss lysandre at 1/5 tho

Just pull for fun

Was thinking of getting lusamine with that 1 multipull. Got ss lysandre instead. Anyways

[paper summit]

you tried to get gen pool Lusamine from a multi in Lysandre's banner? that's... a choice I guess lol

the guy is very good even at 1/5, so yeah, enjoy

[marsh crater]

Thats why i said just pull for fun. Hoping for lusamine getting the limited pair. So its like a surprise

[grand trout]

I don't have lyssandre's kit so idk what you can use to augment him

But a unit debuffing the opponent would be appreciated

[paper summit]

make a guess, he is a water type

[marsh crater]

Yeah i guess i can try. Siebold regen is ridiculous tho

[paper summit]

granted the brainless choice is the frogs lol

[grand trout]

A rain would be good yes, but that would benefit siebold too

[marsh crater]

The side dead with heatwave

But starmie keep regen

[paper summit]

do you have a Spirit master pair?

[grand trout]

Try scalding starmie first?

[marsh crater]

Wait finding sp def debuffer

[paper summit]

other than debuffs, that's the only other thing I can think of, or maybe special move up stacks, granted that one is harder to come by

[grand trout]

I mean like, does he max sp atk and crit all alone? Not familiar with his tm

[grand trout]

There aren't a lot of options tbh. You have paldawn, lucian

Try viola? She's a bug type, can weaken siebold, has residual damage with infestation, and can work thematically with xer and volc

[paper summit]

well, I wouldn't value Kalos theme skill that much, the benefit is too little

I'd agree if one of them had a master passive

[grand trout]

I agree but for now she can be the third one

Iirc siebold has waterfall tho

[marsh crater]

Agatha with shadow ball to lower sp def. Shadowball took 3 gauge tho

Volcanion need another 3 gauge

While xerneas horn leech also 3 gauge

Omg

Agatha got on the roll so yeah can be done. The gauges is the problem now

[grand trout]

Doesn't sycamore help?

Do you sync with him first?

He can provide 6 speed iirc

[marsh crater]

Yea always sync with sycamore

Ok will try now

[paper summit]

if what you want is special defense drops only, use Koga

Mind Games 9 on grid, Venoshock is a 2 bar move, and his drops are guaranteed

unless you want to also use Hypnosis with Agatha

[marsh crater]

U can sleep the opponent when they are burned?

Nope siebold regen is ridiculous

His 2nd sync wipe my team out

[trail smelt]

How’d you let him sync a second time?

[marsh crater]

Cannot beat him before that. His regen

Haih

[paper summit]

oh, right, forgot about Lysandre's burn needs lol

[marsh crater]

Did he really got sentry entry?

[paper summit]

nvm

[paper summit]

bug weak Siebold has Sentry Entry x2, so using a physical bug is essentially the same as off typing

that's the "struggle" here, but a strong special pair should do overall better, unless they have Alder or SS Hilbert

[trail smelt]

Kalos is rather light in entries, only him and Rock weak Malva has it

Both Sentry Entry x2

[marsh crater]

Or maybe i should steam eruption siebold first

[paper summit]

his B Hydro Pump is quite a nuke, are you using it after a support EX sync?

what parameters are you even using anyway?

him reaching a 2nd sync is a bit... concerning lol

[marsh crater]

Instead of heatwave until side dead

[paper summit]

don't touch Heat Wave

[marsh crater]

Instead of heatwave until side dead

Use attack param

[patent torrent]

Noland doesn't care about sentry entry

He still eats through them

[marsh crater]

Really? Ill try noland then

Nope no can do

Too much the damage reduce

Its like put a full defense parameter

[old orchid]

You can do dual strike team with Lusamine and Burgh

[marsh crater]

Dun have em

Feels like want to reset and do offtype frog duo

Put lysandre on malva

[old orchid]

Thats better

[sand sand]

Hi. I need help with Tiles and narciso

I have pheromosa (for bug recommend) and sirfetchd or gallade( for fighting recommend)

But I can't win

[tired sleet]

What move level are they?

[sand sand]

1

[marsh crater]

4k dmg heal everytime on siebold is insane. Does he heal everytime he use water move?

[old orchid]

Dont pick too many hp and strength parameters

Use the set in the pins

[old orchid]

For Fighting weak stage, do you have Lucian and Girafarig?

You better offtype the Bug weak stage with a strong special dmg dealer

[sand sand]

Yes I have him.

[old orchid]

So use him with Solgaleo

[sand sand]

Bug buzz of pheromossa

[old orchid]

Can you show me your support roster at move level menu?

[old orchid]

She is only 1/5, so better offtype

[sand sand]

I'm doing legendary quests

Wait a sec.

[old orchid]

Oh is this hard mode or master mode?

[sand sand]

Hard.

[old orchid]

Oh so its easier

How many types have you filled for the medal?

[sand sand]

What? x.x I don't understand the question

Support

[old orchid]

Do you know about the medal you need to unlock Master Mode?

[sand sand]

No

[stray sentinel]

Is drasna zone a big deal to worry about ? Will ss diantha at 1/5 be enough

[tired sleet]

She only uses it right before she syncs

[trail smelt]

If you survive the sync though, she’s gonna start OHKOing things so watch out

[teal siren]

These are the 5* units I have left for the final battle on my 10k run any ideas for team comp?

[tired sleet]

Kimono Grimsley would be great

[old orchid]

Hop - Kimono Grimsley - The Masked Royal

Level them up to at least lvl 120

[tired sleet]

Diantha has healthy advantage

Bring a status user

[old orchid]

Oh yeah i forgot

Replace Hop with Sonia

[teal siren]

Like sleep or para?

[old orchid]

And grid her with Spark HE1

Any status works

Paralysis is more recommended

[tired sleet]

Since it doesn’t run out

[old orchid]

Since this stage is made for Colress

[teal siren]

How should I grid masked royal and grimsley?

[tired sleet]

Gimme a sec, i’ll take a screenshot of my grimsley grid

Don’t have royal tho

[old orchid]

Grid Grimsley with nuke tiles

TMR doesnt need grid

Go to #1009587872342478908 pins for grid examples

[teal siren]

Spam brutal swing for def drops right?

[tired sleet]

Smth like this would work

[tired sleet]

Yea pretty much, but you may wanna start with his tm if you think you’ll need gauge

[old orchid]

Use his TM once at the start to buff speed early, then just spam BS

Winston you type so fast

[tired sleet]

For krimsley, what i always do is use screech twice, then tm, then sync denial left, then cast metal burst to destroy mid

I’ll do the calcs to see how many def debuffs you need on left to ohko it, to see how much you can screech mid instead

[teal siren]

Do I just spark with Sonia on all opponents till para? Or do I use TM’s first?

[tired sleet]

Only the middle has that damage reduction passive skill, so you only need to paralyze the mid

But starting with a TM is good for def buffs

Also you only need 1 defence debuff to OHKO the side (without factoring any lucky skills or theme skills), so masked royal can take care of that

[teal siren]

What parameters should I use? Should I try for pre-sync?

[tired sleet]

If you’re comfortable with it, yes. Kimono Grimsley works well on hyper offence

[old orchid]

Save his TM before the 2nd sync to comfortablely nuke Diantha

[tired sleet]

I’ve personally always preferred using his tm right before 1st sync for the offensive buffs, then immediately using metal burst to crush mid

[teal siren]

Grimsleys tm?

[old orchid]

Yes

[old orchid]

The first sync is enough to crush the left, while the mid might use item moves instead of attacking moves after

So i prefer using his TM before the second sync

[tired sleet]

That’s also fair, but his 2nd sync is also enough to ohko mid, even without se up

[old orchid]

Oh

[teal siren]

What parameter should I trade out for no stat reduction?

[tired sleet]

That way i don’t have to reset for sonia mpr

[paper summit]

imagine needing to sync to nuke Diantha

[tired sleet]

I calced it with a total of strength +7, so take strength +1 if you want

[tired sleet]

Can’t imagine that

[paper summit]

depending on what move Diantha hits Grimsley with, he can one shot her with Metal Burst

like, if she uses Iron Head, it's over

[tired sleet]

I don’t even bother saving se up for metal burst

[spare condor]

can someone help me with teams for the ellite four on hard? https://imgur.com/a/dy8FF3M I have 1 5 star strike candy

[tired sleet]

Hard as in not master mode? Shouldn’t be too hard, lemme think for a mo

Here are some starting team ideas without type overlap
Malva: Cyrus, May,
Siebold: SS Hilbert, Lucian
Wikstrom: SSA Cynthia,
Drasna: Ash,
Diantha: Pal Marnie, SS Leaf,

[spare condor]

Tyty

[tired sleet]

I was trying so hard not to cause type overlap that I couldn’t think of anyone to use with SSA Cynthia

For the last team, you might want your third to be someone who provides +2 crit and some gauge

[swift swan]

It's only the second week of Kalos CS but I've entered the hall of fame five times already because of all the tests I've been doing

[paper summit]

what a try-hard

[swift swan]

this week is fun!

[zealous karma]

Me every CS lel

[old orchid]

Same, but i want to hear their themes instead

[zealous karma]

Also same to that too

These are easily my favorite e4 themes

[devout sluice]

This week was fun also.

I decided to try testing out steel type units on 2k steel weak

[old orchid]

The OG Kalos E4 is the one i don't like the most but in poma they are my top 2 set of E4 banger themes

Only behind Hoenn E4 lol

[zealous karma]

Maybe I should try my KGrims

[devout sluice]

Kalos a bit tougher than Sinnoh.

With the zone sets and the sun for malva

[zealous karma]

I found this easier because the jp didn’t feel that bloated

[devout sluice]

Ya, It was easy for me also.

Just need to offtype poison next week.

[paper summit]

Koga slander never ends huh

poison is easy in every region

[zealous karma]

We even have Lucy and Roxie now

As well

[paper summit]

yeah, quite a bunch of options now

[tired sleet]

Why use them when you can use koga tho, seems a lot essier

[paper summit]

shocking idea, use 2 of them

[zealous karma]

Roxie has good DPS and Lucy has a good nuke

They have better synergy in that sense i@feel as they’re both physical

Making it easier tk support

Because of the 9 hilbertillion clones

[tired sleet]

Fair ig, but i will never betray koga ||except whenever i’m bored of him or when atticus comes out||

[zealous karma]

Who’s Atticus?

[swift swan]

just stall smh

have more patience

[zealous karma]

Banned

I hate battles that are 4-5 minutes lel

[old orchid]

Nope, use Koga to destroy them

[tired sleet]

Poison Team Star Boss in SV

[zealous karma]

O

[tired sleet]

He’s kinda a nerdy wannabe ninja, i love him
He also speaks shakespearien english, so that’s cool

[zealous karma]

I don’t feel like I have a good koga team so I haven’t been using him as much anymore

[tired sleet]

I’ve historically always used ss leaf + cheryl

[grand steppe]

https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/30/Scarlet_Violet_Atticus.png

[zealous karma]

I’ve mostly used PDawn + Sabrina for koga

I didn’t remember him by name but know his design lel

[marsh crater]

I beat drasna with 1/5 ss diantha. But i put drasna on 1.5k. Definitely doable

[paper summit]

imagine stalling a poison weak stage, smh

[marsh crater]

The moment she put dragon wish. U immediately put rock wish. I run ghetsis, ss diantha, kiawe.

[swift swan]

just presync drasna so the dragon wish doesn't matter

[teal siren]

Idk if I’m using the right parameters or maybe it’s the moves I’m choosing but nothings working

[old orchid]

I forgot that your Sonia isnt 3/5 yet

So use his TM before the first sync

To crush the left

[tired sleet]

But start with screech so Grimsley doesn’t get popped by an early aoe move; use tm on the third turn

[teal siren]

So should my first go around be screech, spark, brutal swing, screech, Sonia tm, brutal swing, grimsley tm, Sonia tm brutal swing, grim sync on left?

Okay definitely think I’m using the wrong parameters because first sync did not ohko Vanilluxe

[old orchid]

Screech, Sonia TM and MR TM on the first turn

[tired sleet]

I’d recommend
Phys + Spec shield
Atk/SpAtk (all of them)
No Status
Strength +1
Sync Buff +5
Power Up on Hit 1 and 2
Gradual Healing
Ally Move gauge -2
Strength +6

[versed meteor]

Malva 2k what is useful i dont wanna use the frogs yet?

[tired sleet]

Probably something like Cyrus and May

[versed meteor]

May didn't cut it but i didn't think of cyrus

[tired sleet]

I meant both on the same team

[versed meteor]

Then what as support cause aaron and swimsuit misty don't sound like good fits

[tired sleet]

Anyone who buffs spdef to some reasonable amount, i’d have to know your roster to be more specific

[dark osprey]

And if possible some crit buff for May

[tired sleet]

If they have 3/5 may she has dire rain, so it’s not needed as much unless she’s syncing

[zealous karma]

Can use sycamore as the support sssuming Ex and pb

Has sharp entry so maybe doesn’t have to use MGR and can allow her to@focus sync while Cyrus can spam pump with crit focus

[tired sleet]

Bit worried that he might not survive if they spam overheat early on

[zealous karma]

You may make me cry but this is unbearable

I love 20% chance to not crit 100% of the time

[keen jasper]

If it's not 100%, then it's 50%

[zealous karma]

Angry

May just hit 20K with muddy water what the heck

[keen jasper]

I wish I can do the MayDeathStare emoji

[magic crown]

Scale of 1 to 10 how satisfying is this

[zealous karma]

Can’t see the number so crying

Dying irl

[keen jasper]

143,957

[keen jasper]

#1009554906568462476 message

[zealous karma]

How have all my syncs not crit

0% chance

For a sync to crit real

[tired sleet]

Punishment for not exing burgh smh

[zealous karma]

Never will happen

So close

[swift swan]

what are you trying

3k?

[zealous karma]

Ye

Ah so close!

Morty can’t tank Wilkstrom lel

It’s so sad Buzzma with tenacity hits just about as hard as diantha xoes

[keen silo]

Both on the same team, as rain setter is important

3rd pair really depends on ur roster

[versed meteor]

just talked about this in salt

[keen silo]

Also, does super effective next apply to sync moves?

[keen jasper]

It will apply to anything

As long as the damage you deal is actually supereffective against the enemy

[keen silo]

What's the dmg multiplier while having the effect?

[keen jasper]

+50%

[keen silo]

ah so x1.5

[zealous karma]

Double down + super prep hype

[keen jasper]

NVM

[keen silo]

Yeah just wanted to make sure lol

Ty 👍🦕

[keen jasper]

[rigid flint]

Huh

Why does my NY Lisia only do like 9k damage on sync

[keen jasper]

Did it crit?

[rigid flint]

I

I'm quite sure it did

[keen jasper]

What are your parameters?

[rigid flint]

Something doesn't seem quite right

Pre sync 2k

[zealous karma]

3/5?

[rigid flint]

And with atk and spatk ^ 3

Yeah

[zealous karma]

Super prep/zone?

[keen jasper]

9k at 3/5? Feels like it didn't crit

[rigid flint]

Cos I've got a defense debuffer in Kiawe

[keen silo]

^

[rigid flint]

Maybe gimme a sec

[keen silo]

Try again

And see if its 9k again

[zealous karma]

I’d use an aoe debuffer

[rigid flint]

I don't have SS Wally but yeah

[keen jasper]

That's too weak for Lisia even if she doesn't have SEUN and zone even at 1/5

[zealous karma]

If it’s first sync that seems perfectly normal without zone

[rigid flint]

I was able to clear the stage regardless but idk

Just seems off

[zealous karma]

I think that’s normal

Can even go into poma tools put your params into the champion stadium then sync grids copy the defenses and see the damage there

[rigid flint]

Aight

[zealous karma]

Wow somehow survived 3K drasna sync

[keen jasper]

What move level?

[zealous karma]

3/5 Brendan
2/5 diantha
1/5 SSLyra

[keen jasper]

Ah 2/5

[zealous karma]

Praying we get like 11 strike coins out of nowhere

[rigid flint]

This is with crit

[zealous karma]

No cs2

[keen jasper]

I'm impressed she can deal this much damage with max HP, strength and defense parameters

[rigid flint]

Oh whoops

[zealous karma]

Maybe you didn’t crit

[rigid flint]

Lemme try again

[keen jasper]

Honestly, I can't read the room

[zealous karma]

It’s very impressive ye

[zealous karma]

A lot happens in channels lel

[rigid flint]

This is with -3 Def

[zealous karma]

Odd did you maybe take a def up tile?

[rigid flint]

Nope

[keen jasper]

Did you use Lisia's TM before she synced?

[zealous karma]

I’m not really sure then

Could be a grid difference or params or anything

[rigid flint]

Well this is first round

With this grid

And +6 Atk and +5 Spd

So honestly I have no idea why Lisia is doing such damage

[zealous karma]

Could you send a video of your params?

also the order in which you click strength params also matters for whatever reason changes the values of levels lel

[rigid flint]

But honestly I'm always able to finish it off with 2 more Giga Impacts and 2 more Quick Attacks if the sides don't die

[rigid flint]

Oh damn

[zealous karma]

I’m going to sleep now tho hope you figure it out lel

I had a similar situation with thorton

[rigid flint]

Bloop here's the vid

I'll also send a vid of the battle brb

[rigid flint]

Oh whoops turns out I accidentally pressed Max HP ^ 6 when swiping up but trust me it wasn't part of the params

https://streamable.com/rgk2wg

[keen jasper]

Hotdamn. Still max HP, strength and defense parameters

[dim marsh]

Hold on, since when you can do over 99.999K?

[marsh crater]

Finally beat siebold at 1.5k with ss lysandre

This kalos cs wants me to do off typing

[trail smelt]

There was an update that removed that smaller limit

[summer flare]

Base Kris is a scary pair

[old orchid]

i love how an upgrade entirely changed Kris

she was a shitty pair then now she is one of the best water striker

[trail smelt]

Mega Miss more like Mega Nuke

[dim marsh]

Wait what changed?

How did she get upgraded?

[old orchid]

she got new 3/5 tiles

[dim marsh]

WOW

Are they out yet?

[old orchid]

yes

she got them months ago

[dim marsh]

She got Kris' Cunning?

[old orchid]

you can go to pomatools and check

[dim marsh]

Actually I've dropped the game and came back a couple weeks ago

Thanks

Just read her, she's pretty good

[zinc island]

Man i've been up from 2 AM up to 6 AM trying to make a 10k run for the kalos champion stadium i'm almost there i'll leave diantha for tomorrow though, i should really get some shut eye

If you want to know the teams i used just ask

[trail smelt]

What was the toughest for you

[onyx ice]

Immagine if they can fix grimsley and liepard

[formal musk]

is poison stalling on diantha a good idea or no? if not can someone help me form a team for 2k cause i kept failing for my current team

[sand karma]

Do you have Skyla left?

[formal musk]

yup

[sand karma]

Is she ex?

[formal musk]

wait no i forgot i used her already

[sand karma]

Any other ex supports left other than Rosa?

[formal musk]

lyra

[sand karma]

Nvm

What move level is Sonia?

[formal musk]

3/5

[sand karma]

Next time you ask for help send ss from upgrades move level

Then it should be possible with Sonia, Roxanne and Solgaleo

[old orchid]

Sonia Solgaleo and Molayne should be an easy clear

[formal musk]

ok thank u ill try both teams to see

[old orchid]

Or a spdef buffer instead of Molayne if you cant pre sync

[sand karma]

Keep in mind to paralyze centre before syncing on her

[formal musk]

ok thanks for the advice

[old orchid]

Get TM MPR and Critical Squad, and Spark HE1 on Sonia grid

[onyx ice]

Didn't even realized that diantha had healthy advantage

[keen silo]

^

I only realised in the middle of attempting mm2k and still did a first tryer

[onyx ice]

I mean i just one shotted her with SS Giovanni's max steel spike so it didn't even triggered

[meager agate]

in a world where pretty much every recent battle tips screen only recommends on-type units, the game realizes “oh shit we literally got nothing for bug”, gives up, and tells you to use lucian

[keen silo]

I managed to save steel spike for one of the sides

Only took like 4 iron tails to end her (with healthy advantage 4)

[onyx ice]

I mean even the suggested support is bug, the striker is bug too, Lucian is just the debuffer

And the gauge battery

[meager agate]

yeah? lol the idea was like all the other battle tips nowadays usually provide you a team that is fully on-type

[keen silo]

I guess its

bugged

[meager agate]

true

anyways i would never put buzzma and keldiantha on the same team

not because they wouldn't work but because keldeo can pull its own weight just fine

[onyx ice]

But monotype isn't always the best comp, since you don't care much about the type of the support or the debuffer (if not for theme skill)

[meager agate]

i feel like my joke didn't land

[onyx ice]

Maybe Nolan could have been a good gauge friendly bug unit

[onyx ice]

I wouldn't put buzzma in any team without maylene

[keen silo]

i have no buzzma

so i cant tell you ma opinions

😔

[meager agate]

joke-explainer 9000 here, ||it's a subtle commentary on how despite all of the ways pokemon masters breaks normal pokemon rules, it can't save the bug type from being so trash that it doesn't get a decent set of options 3.5 years in despite having more units than poison||

[onyx ice]

Same, but if i did i wouldn't have used it without maylene (unless gauntlet)

[keen silo]

i have keldeo, so all the time she's my go to for csmm2k fighting

[onyx ice]

I have aura Cynthia, and that it's enough to destroy fighting weak mm even with f2p Korinna

[keen silo]

I have her too

so usually my go to first attempt team is her Keldeo and some speed buffer

like marley

[onyx ice]

I used Aura Cynthia, holiday Jasmine and Korinna, and her 1st close combat post 6e support sync one shot wilkstrom

[keen silo]

For me I'm not worried about landing a presync at all

Because aura cynthia

Just tanks everything like mad and has potion

👍🦕

[onyx ice]

Even Hitmonlee is a pretty competent fighting damage dealer

But needs either pinpoint entry ls or accuracy support

[keen silo]

What sync pair is that

Is it eggmon

[onyx ice]

Eggmon

[keen silo]

Ah

[onyx ice]

High jump kick hits pretty hard

[keen silo]

I'd assume it has the recoil thing when u miss

[onyx ice]

The point is fixing his accuracy so missing isn't an option

[keen silo]

Yeah i get it, was just wondering since I don't really raise any eggmons

[onyx ice]

They are pretty useful for gauntlet

Some are pretty strong even for mm

Tech Ninetales has sun and 1 gauge spam

Tech Gyarados has rain, flinch and potentially decent dps

Strike Gyarados has pretty good dps

[keen silo]

Hm

[onyx ice]

Strike Raichu has good DPS and piercing gaze

[keen silo]

If anything I'd rather invest in some for mm, I myself don't like gauntlet and just to bare minimum for that

[onyx ice]

Tech fearow has leer and decent enough DPS with drill peck

Most support eggmons can rise a single stat to +6

Not the bestest options but if you need something like +6 speed or +6spa/att they can come handy

[swift swan]

all in all, eggmons are niche, and there are only very few good striker ones and you definitely have better non-egg choices for MM

[onyx ice]

I mean for special steel weak, the only non eggmon unit is a pokefair

[swift swan]

and you're much better off offtyping than hitting your head against a wall trying to ontype with strike magneton

[onyx ice]

Was thinking about the new perseeker

Magneton is pretty lame

[swift swan]

[onyx ice]

Rock special is forced offtype without c blue

[swift swan]

it's not so bad, we have a lot of great special damage dealers

[onyx ice]

Yes isn't so bad

[old orchid]

Malva only has 17k base HP, brute force with physical Rock type isnt really hard

And Rock Zone exists

[onyx ice]

I mean i had a better time beating Siebold with frogs or Deoxys than with alder

[old orchid]

1/5 Alder?

[swift swan]

well I'm not surprised. depending on the team comp and Alder's move level

[onyx ice]

3/5

[swift swan]

...well

[onyx ice]

But i don't have bug zone

[swift swan]

who were your teammates

[onyx ice]

I mean i still cleared it, but i had some gauge issues

At least using alder SC Jasmine and bede

Then i replaced Bede with Lucian and had no problems

But had no problems even with Deoxys and the frogs + BP may

[keen silo]

Rock special is an off-type for me too

Really depends on who I've used for the week

I used Lusamine for Siebold

[onyx ice]

I mean i could still use rock physical

[keen silo]

Had to do a few attempts because hydro pump always melts my support a bit and move rng

[onyx ice]

If i can offtype malva and wilkstrom with rock physical i think I can on type malva too

[keen silo]

I could too now that I have SS Diantha

[onyx ice]

That's why I can, before i was offtyiping rock

[keen silo]

Haven't been able to try ss diantha and olivia together

The first week of kalos cs malva was a good stage to try on but had to use goofy team for medals

[onyx ice]

She works fine

Even ss Brock works fine

[swift swan]

Olivia can clear rock weak no problem

[onyx ice]

Yes she can, but her DPS is kinda mhe and without 6ex i had troubles one shotting the sides

However she works with 6ex Hilbert and kukui (if SS diantha isn't an option)

[old orchid]

No sand?

[onyx ice]

Leer and accellerock dps are much better than sand

I have no Ingo so sand wasn't an option

[old orchid]

[onyx ice]

If i had Ingo it would have been definitely a better team comp

Both kukui and oliva appreciate sand

But for Olivia DPS isn't a big deal

[swift swan]

not sure about the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure Sand is more necessary. remember MM opponents have mitigation on their debuffs

[swift swan]

Olivia's main draw is the nuke

[onyx ice]

Yes but i didn't wanted to 6ex her

[swift swan]

it's fine non-EX? just adjust her grid

[onyx ice]

But without 6ex support buff she can't one shot the sides with stone edge

Plus i have no Ingo, so i would need support and sand setter

[swift swan]

from my experience using EX-less Olivia way back when, I DPS the sides and nuke center on my 2nd sync (after support EX)

Hilbert, Acerola, Olivia has always been a staple

[onyx ice]

Yes i was talking about 1st sync with -2 sync (it's how I like to play)

Plus i don't like to play 2 sync cycles and still have a 20% chance of having to reset

[swift swan]

on first sync? good luck then

[rigid flint]

Olivia has a hard time doing significant damage on first sync

[swift swan]

it's hard to set up her multipliers on first sync as well

well, not too hard now that I think about it

[rigid flint]

With Hilbert it's relatively easy

[tired sleet]

Do you have Bertha?

[swift swan]

yeah, Hilbert's perfect. he just needs to not get hit with strong moves too often

[rigid flint]

The amount of times I've had to reset my runs because the enemy wants to bully him is uncountable

[onyx ice]

Yes, but i feel kukui accellerock does more damage than Berta sand tomb

Not a problem anymore since now i have ss Diantha

It was more a thing of the past

Plus i'm not a fan of nukers that can't guarantee the crit on sync

[nocturne pawn]

accelerock has higher base power anyway so like not surprising

bertha just exists to nuke and set sandstorm

her other moves just enable the sync

[onyx ice]

Her nuke is really strong, but the point was nuking with olivia

[nocturne pawn]

then you’d use them together anyway

sand on entry for dps stuff then set sand for nuke

if you have like bugscy then you also get leer and mga

[onyx ice]

My rotation was leer X4 oliva tm 1st turn, and then stone edge spam, Hilbert buffs and then 6ex support buff, then 2 stonedges and 1 accelrock to the mid, plus a stonedge + accelrock to each side

Generally it worked

[nocturne pawn]

oh wait olivia has inertia gdi

[onyx ice]

However Roark is getting a grid and i think it will have comparable nuke

[nocturne pawn]

its comparable but no ex will still make him worse for cs

because clearing the sides with sync is really useful here

[onyx ice]

Yes i was talking of my non ex olivia

Plus if you have SS diantha, striker ex doesn't matters much since b diamond storm will obliterate the sides anyways

And without her, i feel that head smash should still deal with the sides even with just standfast 7

Expecially if chip a bit of their hp with accelrock

Can't wait to try using head smash under rock zone post 6ex support sync with -6 def, +4 pmun and seun

Then maybe i can try squeezing power reserves 5 too for the memes

[marsh crater]

Wow 2k siebold just got rekt by frog pair

[old orchid]

pretend to be surprised

[marsh crater]

Need more unit like frog pair

[onyx ice]

Leon could clear it with -3 sync parameters

[marsh crater]

I still dont have any gmax unit

What u guys recommend for cs?

[onyx ice]

Leon isn't g-max yet

[marsh crater]

I think for supporter is enough roster.

[onyx ice]

But Gordie has gmax

[marsh crater]

Who?

[onyx ice]

Volcalith

However i just used max flare for sun, it did pitiful damage

Attack wasn't boosted and the stage is physical resistant

[marsh crater]

Oh coalosal

[onyx ice]

Yes the g max move is called volcalith i think

That like g max wildfire is more useful for the damage than the effect

[marsh crater]

I want to get annabel but snorlax kit…i have enough supporter

Dont have the damage dealer for every type

[onyx ice]

Hate that EA kit

[marsh crater]

I dont think can get 10k cs

Its too hard to beat 2k wikstrom and drasna with my current roster

[onyx ice]

Fairy weak may be troublesome, maybe sycamore can do something

[marsh crater]

Only can manage 1.5 k each

[trail smelt]

Come to think of it I have no idea what GMAX brings to the table for Leon

[marsh crater]

Higher than that. Phew

[onyx ice]

For fighting weak,i think Korinna or solgaleo also could do stuffs

[marsh crater]

Korinna the free unit?

[onyx ice]

Yes

[swift swan]

https://youtu.be/Win2_EhcirI did someone say fairy-weak

Mina is totally useable

[onyx ice]

Close combat has pretty high BP and she has like 400+ atk at 5*

[marsh crater]

Use wally. But he need more candy

[swift swan]

I hope you don't candy a general pool

[onyx ice]

Never give candies to spotlight units

[marsh crater]

Sycamore used already

[swift swan]

[swift swan]

I've seen others use Mina as the sole damage dealer but with a defense debuffer instead

works too, just slightly harder I feel

[marsh crater]

Hop is for diantha

[swift swan]

Sonia then

Hop's point there is to buff Mina's offenses

[marsh crater]

Dont have sonia

[onyx ice]

Solgaleo hits pretty hard if you can give him +2 crit

[swift swan]

3/5 Hilbert

or Aaron

[marsh crater]

Yea i thought of using mina but since hop gonna go to diantha…well

Hilbert at 1/5

[swift swan]

who's your damage dealer against diantha anyway

[marsh crater]

Gonna use solgaleo, colress, hop

[swift swan]

hmm, colress can already buff team crit, no?

[marsh crater]

Solgaleo is the main dmg dealer

[swift swan]

and solgaleo can max offenses

[marsh crater]

Ah i see ur point

So mina hop and hilbert?

[swift swan]

Hop and Hilbert overlap

[marsh crater]

Can i use skyla?

[swift swan]

Mina, Hop, maybe a good speed buffer or another damage dealer who's decently fast

[marsh crater]

Mina hop skyla

[swift swan]

if you're not planning to use her somewhere else, sure. but I recommend a special defense buffer instead

because the stage has some special moves too

[onyx ice]

Korinna with super powered 3 ls could be a decent option

Cs2 is fine too i guess

Korinna is only held back by the lack of multipliers so squeezing an extra 10% with sp3 can be worth

[marsh crater]

Hmm dont have enough 3* candy

Dont have enough sync orb too.

Mina not fully grid

Korinna is lvl 1

Wally is good but he is so hassle to set up

[onyx ice]

Baseline Korinna isn't that great, i guess she's good at 5/5 5*

[marsh crater]

Why need 5/5?

[keen jasper]

Just extra damage and making it more relatable

[onyx ice]

Extra bp, and most players have overabundance of 3* candies regardless

[swift swan]

then I guess you're better off offtyping

or just wait until you can build some more units

you have until Sunday anyway

[onyx ice]

They don't release much 3* units and when they do generally they give free 5/5

4* candies are more in need due to trainer lodge

3* can just be used to save time on units like kali

[rotund lagoon]

The only candies that are not in surplus of 4* is Supports. Strikes and Techs are another story.

[onyx ice]

Yes support is kinda dry

Once i used lodge stones to 3/5 a support

While i just dump strikers and tech candies to 5/5 lodge and BP units

[marsh crater]

So among this fighting unit. Who should i ex? Korrina, wally 2/5, bea 1/5?

Or i shouldnt ex em?

[onyx ice]

I exed bea

But 1/5; doesn't have the nuke

3/5 ex Bea is pretty strong

Korinna nuke just sucks

Wally nuke is ok but i guess still needs 3/5 to nuke and is pretty annoying to setup

Plus Korinna doesn't needs to sync, since her mega isn't mandatory like Pidgeot or Houndoom and doesn't even add that much

Extra attack is nice but is better syncing with 6ex support than getting mega Lucario attack boost

[marsh crater]

Racking my brain to build a fighting weak team

[onyx ice]

Meanwhile

[marsh crater]

What an unexpected team

2 zone setter?

So ccalem for ex?

[onyx ice]

Greninja was there just for the buffs

And support ex

[marsh crater]

Oh yea attack buff

[onyx ice]

And master passive

[marsh crater]

Kalos huh

How about using psychic terrain. Off typing with mewtwo

Biancha

[onyx ice]

That works too

[marsh crater]

Since not using em at all this time around

And i can use agatha to set up more sp def down

So biancha agatha giovanni

[onyx ice]

But Giovanni needs sp attack support

[marsh crater]

And hypnosis too

[onyx ice]

He has 0 by his own

Unless you gave him the +2 spa entry skill

[stray sentinel]

Hey I’m trying to see where I can swap in a poison pair and a review of my teams before I start ?

[teal siren]

What am I doing wrong?

[marsh crater]

Its either use sabrina or kali

Sabrina at 1/5 tho. While kali all built

[silent quail]

you wasted the Endurance on Grimsley

[onyx ice]

No paralysis 1st of all

Use tm just before metal burst

So you don't get destroyed with -6 defenses

[silent quail]

1. you need to apply a status asap to Diantha
2. you "wasted" a cycle by picking Tackle when you could've waited and use Sync right away
3. you could've also turn-denied by using Iron Head on any side
4. you need to use TM-Metal Burst combo WITH your Endurance... you can reset for a run where Aurorus doesn't use an AoE move

[teal siren]

Got it. The parameters I was told to try included no status condition

[silent quail]

oh, you DO NEED to status Diantha in this week

[stray sentinel]

Can someone take a peek at my teams

[silent quail]

she has a skill that reduces all damage to 60% if you don't

but I think that maybe Grim can overcome it hmmm

[marsh crater]

I think gonna ex sabrina

So my team for wikstrom will be biancha, giovanni, sabrina

[onyx ice]

Unless you one shot with max move

[marsh crater]

Ah dont have enough champion spirit

Haih

[onyx ice]

Sabrina is a nice ex

[marsh crater]

If i beat 10k i can have another 25

Huhu

The irony

[onyx ice]

Only super Wales or new players struggle with champion spirits

[marsh crater]

Yea im new

Play since 1st jan 2023

[onyx ice]

Regular players normally swim in champion spirits

[marsh crater]

Dont forget sync orb

Im always short on em

[onyx ice]

Same for regular players that swim in them

[stray sentinel]

Started in Jan too. Same boat but slowly creeping up

[onyx ice]

I always have 99 999 orbs

[marsh crater]

Nothing much can do. This round of cs. I still cant beat 10k

[stray sentinel]

I save my sync orbs

[stray sentinel]

Can someone help me out too

[marsh crater]

So many idea to build team

[onyx ice]

Except when I get a new unit, but i shortly go back to 99 999

[marsh crater]

But dont have resources

[onyx ice]

Not that i will get several new units in one go

[marsh crater]

Played since beginning is different league altogether in term of resource

[onyx ice]

Definitely

[marsh crater]

Thats why i need to efficiently use em right now

But still

[onyx ice]

I mean even for day one players is still a game of skipping banners however

[marsh crater]

Ok whatever

Just cant do much

Gonna sleep it off

[onyx ice]

Isn't one of those games that if you are day one ad dedicated you could get everything

[marsh crater]

Or just taking what i can getting 8.5k

[onyx ice]

Stuffs are limited and gems even more

[marsh crater]

Do what i can now

[marsh crater]

Yea especially if gacha game.

I should be playing genshin impact but since the update is getting bigger and my iphone dont have enough storage. I have to abandon the game.

Then found a new gacha game called poma. Well here i am

[mellow linden]

Teams overall seem alright at a glance (especially because it’s just Hard Mode). Could swap Hop for BP Janine for Poison

Maybe swap Leaf for Cheryl for faster Sp. Atk. buffs as well

[lost gulch]

im surprised this works

btw anabel just got one shot from malva overheat (+ 6 strength) with all shields up

[proud axle]

Sun and Charging Sun 5 are a helluva thing.

Overheat is a very powerful move to boot, and she even has Dauntless so she isn't penalized for spamming it

So I guess she's doing the same trick as Silver's Ho-oh, but with way higher stats behind it

That fight was easiest for me, but I kinda can't say anything because I tossed three hecking Master Pairs at it

[mellow linden]

Imagine if there was a special moves boost parameter this week

Psychic weak Flint on steroids, probably

[proud axle]

Doesn't she also have Flare Blitz? Phys boost would also be terrifying. """Fortunately""" it's only for Diantha

[sand karma]

I don't have Alder
Why have so many people said they could'nt do 2k Siebold with Alder 1/5 this cs? Isn't he supposed to be top tier bug dps?

[prime warren]

Coz skill issue

I could do it with SCemmet and stage has sentry entry

[manic kiln]

1/5 is not top tier but enough to clear 2k, just need the right support and choose the right parameters

[keen jasper]

Is top bug DPS SS Hilbert?

[sand karma]

Yep

He's like top dps for multiple types kek

[prime warren]

Top bug is Ash
Don't @ me

♿♿♿

[dark osprey]

Alder 1/5 is like just ok tbh

[keen jasper]

I wish I had SS Hilbert for -3 water rebuff with Cerena

[prime warren]

Iirc alder's biggest issue is that -3 def from TM

But like pre sync clear is recommended anyways

[dark osprey]

His sync isn't great too

[prime warren]

And alder can comfortably do it coz hyper beam spam

You just support ex

And then focus on mid

His TM is +6 spl atk anyways

So you'll get hyperbeam running as 2nd move itself in a proper team

[dark osprey]

Yeah. With support ex, special defense debuffs and quadqueues, he just clears it

With secondary striker much better

[prime warren]

I don't think you need quad queue either.....a non mega cblue is similar damage range

And just targetting mid clears it

I don't have alder , neither my friends so cblue is my closest comparison

[dark osprey]

Nov did a video here earlier

Hyper beam has been hyped up a bit much I guess

[prime warren]

Not rly

It's pretty strong when you set up for it quick

[dark osprey]

Or maybe the rock stages don't have bulked HP

[prime warren]

I basically run setups that lets me use move by 2nd rotation itself for CS

Especially if it's support ex reliant

If it's sync nuke focus, I just destroy sides and gain more turns anyways so I don't bother fast setups for those runs

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Main thing is crit I guess

[prime warren]

Iirc 1/5 alder's biggest issue is accuracy

[proud axle]

We found out that this week's Wikstrom has comically low speed (whereas the sidekicks have normal speed), so destroying sides could hypothetically make gauges an actual concern for the enemy team for once

[dark osprey]

That's also annoying

[prime warren]

That 90% misses 90% of times somehow

I always feel that with lance

[keen jasper]

If it's not 100%, then it's 50%

[proud axle]

I used Alder+Lusamine+Sabrina, but the problem was that Sabrina was spread thin.
It took a lot of fiddling but I managed to win, though.

Gauge was a big problem...

[prime warren]

Well it's a 4 bar move and you pick the -2 gauge params as well so yea

[proud axle]

Absolutely

[dark osprey]

Oh. I was just trying with Alder, Lusamine and EX Giopersian

[proud axle]

4bar move, with Lusamine spamming a 3bar and Sabrina has a 2bar... until she megas and it becomes 3bar too

[prime warren]

I sometimes avoid -2 gauge params if I run a heavy gauge team
Like with sycamore

[dark osprey]

Was kinda good

[prime warren]

But ig now with freevenge I can stop doing it for him ig

[proud axle]

I think I saw two Freevenge nodes? Was that enough for 100%?

[dark osprey]

Haha. Just one

[proud axle]

Oh okay

[prime warren]

1 freevenge

50% chance to proc

It's decent enuff

[proud axle]

Maybe I got it mixed up with the other thing... Revenge Boost

[prime warren]

Atleast it lets me use him outside lear and diantha team

Coz never been using him outside of those for a long time

[dark osprey]

I think the EX made him much better

Grid just slight improvements

[proud axle]

I used him and Lisia against Fairy-weak Drasna this week. I had a rough time until I realized I didn't actually need the third member to survive

[prime warren]

Yea ex made sure I can actually bring headstart on Lear instead of cs2

[proud axle]

(Tried with Piers and then with Ingo)

[prime warren]

Coz lear can't 2 shot offtype sides without CS2

[dark osprey]

Oh nice. I tried with surgechu. Realised that it was not necessary to go pre sync

[proud axle]

Sycamore and Lisia are both really tanky. Add the "Fainting reduces the rest of the team's stats," plus Moonblast SpAtk down, plus Lisia blowing away Dragon Zone... and Drasna's sync dealt only two-digit damage

And Lisia and Sycamore had +6SPDef from his sync too

And Lisia was Target #2 and hurting her makes her stronger

[dark osprey]

Moonblast sp atk drops would have been nice too

Also Lisias TM durable is really nice

[proud axle]

Absolutely

[stray sentinel]

Ny Lisia or Lisia.

[dark osprey]

After the sync, can survive like 4 turns or so

Regular Lisia

[prime warren]

He's saying moonblast so OG

[stray sentinel]

Defog clears zones too !?

[prime warren]

Yes

[stray sentinel]

Fabulous

[proud axle]

Hell, running Defog to clear the Zone meant I could even pick Crit Shield for +150pts that I could take away from other params

[dark osprey]

But not weather

[stray sentinel]

oh ok

[proud axle]

Defog on turn 1 and then again when the zone comes out

[prime warren]

I remember using lisia for Bertha ebe just for zone wipe

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Just the second defog messes with us syncing slightly

[prime warren]

I often use darach in CS tho

Like ghetsis and MR teams

[stray sentinel]

interesting

[dark osprey]

Darach is cooler I guess

[stray sentinel]

he reduces attack too right?

[dark osprey]

Yes

[proud axle]

Maybe? The funny thing was I had multiple field effects on my team (Sycamore's accel and Ingo's sand) but Ingo's sandstorm made turns take slightly longer so they expired before my first sync

Without breaking quadqueue

...Drasna's Hyper Voice broke the quadqueue anyway though, by hitting Sycamore and proccing things

I had to reset until she did something else on the sync turn, so I could land a KO denial on the left.

[dark osprey]

Ah. Sorry. I meant our second sync

[proud axle]

How so?

[dark osprey]

But quadqueue I didn't bother since sycamore adrenaline

[proud axle]

I needed the quadqueue to land the killshot on the left in time

[dark osprey]

Ah nice

I thought that would be too difficult due to the reactive passives

[proud axle]

Otherwise yeah I'd have just shrugged and let Adrenaline fix it

[dark osprey]

So went ahead and took the enemy sync as well

[proud axle]

It probably was, and maybe I should try a different strategy next time

[dark osprey]

Hehe. Mina seems still good with her nuke tbh

Can just pre sync

[proud axle]

I've heard. Maybe I'll do that next

[dark osprey]

Ah Nov did a reliable clear just above I guess

[proud axle]

I thought I could presync with this team but then Drasna crushed Ingo. ...I managed to talk myself out of panic-resetting when I remembered she had several SpA debuffs on and she's weak against those

[prime warren]

Dragon rush was

[proud axle]

Pretty sure it was Dragon Rush that got Ingo, so those SpA debuffs didn't stop it

[proud axle]

Yeah, you guessed it exactly

What's Ingo gonna do, Mudslap her acc away? She has Piercing Gaze

[dark osprey]

Sycamore could probably have tanked I guess

[proud axle]

Yeah, but I needed the quadqueue so it had to be someone else as the main target

[dark osprey]

Oh yeah forgot

[prime warren]

He can

[proud axle]

To improve the chances

[proud axle]

He can if she uses X Speed

[prime warren]

But sycamore gets bodied if you drag fight

[proud axle]

But if someone else is the target I have two chances at it

[prime warren]

Since no def up

[proud axle]

X Speed and Dragon Rush

Even Lisia can get Def Up...

[dark osprey]

Maybe Lisia could have taken the spotlight in between

[prime warren]

I wish sycamore got some way of def up or headstart in grid

[proud axle]

She might've but I needed every single Moonblast to kill the Left on quadqueue

[prime warren]

Coz I don't want to remove headstart for sentry entry

[dark osprey]

Ah. Guess adrenaline itself is broken for their standards

[proud axle]

I think the shot that killed Ingo was while I was trying to figure out how many shots I needed for the right... So I guess Lisia could have taken the hit. Hm.

[prime warren]

Yea but it feels weird
Since his entire gameplan is syncing asap

And he has no headstart or sync Accel in TM

[proud axle]

Yeah, it was an uncomfortable plan

It worked eventually but I'd need to refine it or change plans entirely next time

[dark osprey]

Don't know how much better does Lisia do with low hp

[dark osprey]

Still crazy good ngl

[proud axle]

She has HP Tradeoff 5 innate, and can grid for another HP Tradeoff 4. This gives her +45% when she's critical (and she has Endure to survive being critical)

[prime warren]

Yea I love freevenge eventho it sometimes ruins quadqueues and stuff

[dark osprey]

Oh yeah. Freevenge is just great

[proud axle]

In this case, Drasna went down long before that happened, but... if she had a few more turns, Lisia would have unleashed i d o l w r a t h on her

[dark osprey]

Lol. Lisia still has her fans

[proud axle]

"Idle hands are the Devil's playthings."
"Sounds about right. These idol hands are gonna send you straight to HELL!"

I know, I know, technically it's the Altaria doing it but still

[long thicket]

Well, Post sync parameters for 2k Kalos aren't kind to me right now.

I did win against Malva, but mainly because the team members were overkill.

And even then, they lost easily before

[sand karma]

Presync is power

[zealous karma]

My gosh

That’s with healthy advantage

[nocturne pawn]

me when sonia and mr

i wish she was 3/5 so much just one more for crit squad

[zinc island]

Winkstron

[zealous karma]

I wonder what would happen had diantha ceit hit

[nocturne pawn]

wikstrom was so annoying

diantha was a rehash of the palentines event fight but god its still so annoying

[zealous karma]

I have SCDiantha so not smth I can relate too

🐴

[nocturne pawn]

i had to use bea and the only way i won was a lucky not full wipe sync

[zealous karma]

Albeit trying to see Buzzma damage just for +3 tenacity to hit the same as one sacred sword was a big disappointment

I’m such a whale all my teams except for Buzzma we’re all ex

This 3K was easy but I didn’t even attempt trying to on type bug

Maybe for the video I will

[zealous karma]

Bea couldn’t pre sync ?

[nocturne pawn]

she can but i have skill issue and cant quad queue

unless i want to use adrenaline on hilbert which i might consider cuz hes really good regardless

and has vigilance on grif

[zealous karma]

Hilbert also has flinches

[nocturne pawn]

yeah i have him gridded for aggravation too

[zealous karma]

This week is so fun Omg

[bright furnace]

[paper summit]

Nothing, Metal Burst is based on the percentage of health Grimsley takes

Well, not nothing, it would not be a higher number if Diantha crits him

[zealous karma]

Oh I wasn’t aware, clearly lel

I always thought it was damage taken like a true counter

[paper summit]

That's why you want him to ideally be full health, get hit and consume Endure for maximum damage

Then his passive activates, you heal and finish off whatever is still alive

[zealous karma]

I see, his damage would’ve been much higher lel

He was at like 75% because of echoed voice

[nocturne pawn]

hyper voice is extremely annoying coming off of diantha

it hurrs

its aoe

and like it ruins Bisharp too

[zealous karma]

Mine survived fine but mines Ex

Which I only did Ex for the bulk

[bright furnace]

i think 500+ attack if the level is high enough with EX

[proud axle]

(Tabs in)

[proud axle]

Sonia could disable Healthy Advantage via Spark, and then we'd see some real funni numbers

[zealous karma]

I think he’d hit around 86K

[proud axle]

Sonia's Spark (and Hostile Environment in grid) is how I did that fight, in fact

[zealous karma]

I ignored healthy advtabfe In my 2K F2P normal 2K and now my 3K lel

[zinc island]

This was way harder than i would have liked it to be

[zealous karma]

Congratz!

[zinc island]

Thanks

[zealous karma]

Remember to post in #1010274591601598555

For the future

[zinc island]

Oh yeah i should also show this to prove its a 10K run

[long thicket]

Second option, I suppose, yeah.

[proud axle]

Did you really need to inflict status on Diantha when you were using Solgaleo and an EX Support sync

[nocturne pawn]

i didnt

[proud axle]

Not you

[nocturne pawn]

i know

but im saying i also used solgaleo

[proud axle]

This person had EX Sonia and Colress supporting Solgaleo vs Diantha

[nocturne pawn]

oh what i did was uh ccalem bugscy and solgaleo

sync with ex calem and use scyther to spam leer

[proud axle]

I used CCalem to further crush Malva
I wasn't taking any risks against that moveset

Kyogre and both Greninjas

[nocturne pawn]

bro kyogre already neuters her gimmick

frogs is actual overkill

[proud axle]

Yes

[nocturne pawn]

like im pretty sure my team didnt even let her get 2 moves off

[proud axle]

I crushed her before my second sync

[nocturne pawn]

i didnt even sync 💀

[proud axle]

It's also three Master Pairs, so I was up to my eyeballs in damage/defense bonuses

[nocturne pawn]

how to instantly ruin water weak

[proud axle]

I couldn't say. I don't have Latios

[nocturne pawn]

yeah but this team is funs

start with a round of buffing then all hell breaks loose

[zinc island]

No

She had healthy advantage didn't she?

sighs

[proud axle]

Solgaleo doesn't care

[nocturne pawn]

she does but solgaleo has piercing blows on sunsteel strike

meaning its not necessary

if anything you just need to drop defenses so the sides dont murder you with tough cookie

[proud axle]

Solga's sync does care, but your first sync was with an EX Support anyway

[nocturne pawn]

sol sync

which is also uh

trash

[zinc island]

I just kept doing the same thing until i won ecentualy

[proud axle]

Yeeeahhhh

Maybe it'll get a multiplier with the Alola villain arc

[zinc island]

Sunstell spike spike with solgaleo sonia support and colress screech

[zinc island]

That would ve nice

Also i wasn't able to win for some time and i though what's happening i'm getting so close but yet so far so i took a look at my solgaleo's sync grind and saw i never really messed with it

[proud axle]

Ooh, yeah, it gets way better with grid

[zinc island]

A lot

[nocturne pawn]

power reserves 5!!

or something

[zinc island]

I did like 2400 of damage before sync with sunsteel spike

[nocturne pawn]

i dont remember

[zinc island]

After thw grind i did 3200 or something before sync

[proud axle]

Bruh, Sharp Entry 1 means Sonia doesn't need to proc MPR to give it 3 crit

[nocturne pawn]

wait it has sharp entry?

fuck

i think i got like the one that gives crit after sync

which is like 💀

[proud axle]

Yeah man, this fixes quite a bit of its problem

[grand imp]

anyone got any genius siebold strats that dont use featured units?

sitting on 2/5 pheromosa and 1/5 burgh and guzma

[nocturne pawn]

burgh might work

[proud axle]

Offtype with special attackers? I don't think we need a sun team elsewhere this week

Guzma is disadvantaged here, Siebold has monstrous phys defense but normal spec defense

[nocturne pawn]

just say sentry entry x2

[grand imp]

if i use reshiram and blaine + some support?

what support am i using?

ik i said no featured units but i conveniently have 1/5 N + reshiram

[proud axle]

Hmm... Do you have Lyra/Meganium? She works well with sun

[grand imp]

yeah but i think its 1/5 as well

[proud axle]

Oof. Hm

[grand imp]

yeah this is a pretty ambitious 2k attempt

[proud axle]

Ah, my train is here. No reception. Good luck

[grand imp]

cheers

enjoy your trip lol

[zinc island]

I used this sync grind for solgaleo

[proud axle]

I think I'd try one of these
N(Reshiram) + Silver(Ho-oh, Cookie for Dauntless and grid for Overheat) + Roxanne, and give Silver every sync so he can continually resummon the sun. Beware, though: Silver's weak to Water
Bianca + Giovanni(Mewtwo) + Sabrina(Alakazam), if Sabrina is 3/5 for Reflect Pep Rally and Dire Hit Critical Squad
Lusamine(Pheromosa) + Burgh(Leavanny) + Sabrina(Alakazam) might work if Sabrina is 2/5 (still has Dire Hit Critical Squad and she and Burgh both raise self speed), but might be risky

If you already have a solution for Malva that doesn't use these, then maybe
Cyrus(Palkia) + (anyone with Rain Dance, including certain eggmons) + Leaf/Eevee. Palkia's Hydro Pump, with critical hits in rain, is amazingly powerful

[grand trout]

Aww i wanna use reshiram next week too

But wikstrom really would eat special attackers up

[grand imp]

am yet to try n+reshiram,leaf+meganium(3/5) and blaine for extra sun but i imagine i can make some sun team work. ill give ho-oh a go too

[proud axle]

Oh, Lyra's 3/5? Excellent

[grand imp]

sadly i dont have sabrina and used palkia for malvva already but ill see what i can get done tomorrow

yeah didnt realise

i think lyra will be the way to go

just gonna have to make sure the parameters dont get her oneshot

i always find she's pretty squishy

[proud axle]

I'd try giving her a Solarize grid, and run with Reshiram + Ho-oh alongside

She's got poor phys defenses, yeah. This fight has mixed offense so there is some risk

[grand imp]

yeah that should be immensely better than anything else i can do rn

[proud axle]

She's really bulky on the special side though

[grand imp]

eh i can gamble on no waterfall lol

the computer seems really strange for this battle though so im not entirely sure what order it queues stuff in

though this was me trying to sleep cancel for an extra sync so tbh who knows what happens

[proud axle]

Right side has Bulldoze and, if Siebold goes down first, Earthquake

But the damage is split across the party so maybe Lyra will still be okay

[grand imp]

i imagine blue flare will knock out the sides eons before starmie

so yeah thanks for the help

:)

[proud axle]

[zinc island]

Can you believe i haven't got a single lyra yet?

[trail smelt]

MiSSty evaded me for the longest time so yeah

[proud axle]

I have a saying for times like that.

Lady Luck is a sarcastic a-hole sometimes.

[zinc island]

I got 5/5 misty

[crude glen]

who should i use for champ stadium?

[zinc island]

And 5/5 erika

SS i mean

[mellow linden]

1st off, what teams have you been trying thus far?

[mellow linden]

So Hop + Sycamore is a good duo for Legendary Arena (with the 3rd Sync Pair being someone who counters the fight’s gimmick), but for Champion Stadium you’ll want to break them up across multiple teams

+101 is some basic teambuilding guidelines that I think 1st and foremost should be something to take a look at
