I made one as well but unfortunately had to use a lodge unit but idk your roster as well as others so maybe it’ll be fine
versed meteor
Nope i aint doing this 2k, its just stupid
mellow linden
Which stage?
bleak vine
I'm gonna try doing a 10k tomorrow, I almost got there this week but these types were my worst
dark osprey
Keep a few good offtype nuke teams ready maybe. Also can try poison stall and sleep hax. After a while you'd get more tools to work with
onyx ice
I made one as well but unfortunately had to use a lodge unit but idk your roster...
Depends what lodge unit is, some are f2p, some not
zealous karma
I don’t like using limited available F2P as you can’t guarantee a player has them
And I used blue
keen silo
Lodge blue is from blue/pidgeot, so imo its not too big of a deal
onyx ice
Blue Pidgeot is f2p
paper summit
Lodge Blue isn't limited, the guy requires like 10 days or so of lodge grinding and that's it, fairly accessible to me
onyx ice
Unless someone is super new, it's pretty likely that has lodge blue
But super new players may miss some f2p units regardless
There are various tier of f2p
Lodge f2p are similar to bp units

My first 4200 points in master mode, how i am able to achieve more points damn earning 4200 makes me mad with my current team
paper summit
#1010274591601598555 for this kind of thing pls
proud axle
Let's see, you can probably afford to add more modifiers to Malva
Bringing a Rain Dancer (like your May, there) ruins Malva's whole plan
I'm not real sure what you were trying to do with Wikstrom. That's pretty weird for an offtype team.
mellow linden
The Malva team has no issue
The Wikstrom team needs Sun for SS Hilda. Serena doesn’t bring much to the team
proud axle
Erika/Leafeon, Lyra/Meganium, or even Silver/Ho-Oh would be a fine choice for Serena's slot there
Can't tell whether Sonia is 3/5 to give Solgaleo +2 crit
mellow linden
Sonia needs 3/5 for Critical Squad
manic mica
I'm not real sure what you were trying to do with Wikstrom. That's pretty weird ...
The problem is I don't have any fighting type so I am confused about who to use, so here are the results
mellow linden
You have Korrina if nothing else
proud axle
The problem is I don't have any fighting type so I am confused about who to use,...
Don't underestimate Korinna, and don't forget Solgaleo has a strong Fighting move if you have other Steel attackers for Diantha
(Does Korrinna have two Rs or two Ns? I can never remember)
mellow linden
2 Rs, 1 N
manic mica
I have only 2 steel pairs hop and player Solgeleo needs good pairs
proud axle
Do you not have Bruno? Marshall?
mellow linden
I’m assuming no Bea, otherwise she’d have been an easy choice
proud axle
Marshall got his grid expansion last month
Bruno got his grid expansion last year
I don't know enough about them to say whether they'll help you get a 2k clear, though
versed meteor
Wilkstrom one shoting with earthquake malva two shoting with hyper voice there is literally no reliable way to get to first sync
mellow linden
There are plenty of reliable ways to be able to get to your 1st Sync
What teams are you using?
versed meteor
Am so fing mad been trying this shit since Wednesday got nothing
manic mica
I can climb step by step 4200 done from my effort and what i have knowledge, pls help me to achieved little higher points
Mostly i have all f2p pairs except lodge pairs
proud axle
Am so fing mad been trying this shit since Wednesday got nothing
We can't help if we don't know what your teams look like
proud axle
I can climb step by step 4200 done from my effort and what i have knowledge, pls...
You could try fighting Wikstrom using Bruno with either Korrina or Marshall, and a Support
manic mica
Who should i use for support
proud axle
I don't know yet.
mellow linden
I think an SS Hilda team is probably still fine
manic mica
F2p support??
proud axle
I think an SS Hilda team is probably still fine
Then SSHilda, Skyla, and... SSErika if you have her, or Silver/Ho-oh if you don't
(And give Silver the first sync for sun)
mellow linden
No need to try and force on-type when there’s an off-type option that isn’t really being used elsewhere
mellow linden
Then SSHilda, Skyla, and... SSErika if you have her, or Silver/Ho-oh if you don'...
Why is Silver a better choice than Blaine?
proud axle
Because he can also fight.
mellow linden
Blaine is way better for setting Sun
proud axle
Flame Wheel ain't great DPS
mellow linden
Because he can also fight.
SS Hilda has damage more than covered, more reliable Sun is a better option than personal damage output
Blaine has Trap and a solid Sync nuke anyways (albeit you’d need a crit Support)
proud axle
F2p support??
...Please tell us you have SSErika so this argument stops mattering
manic mica
No
proud axle
Damn
mellow linden
Try Blaine 1st for more reliable Sun, IMO
proud axle
Morty/Ho-oh available?
manic mica
Ok so skyla ss Hilda blaine
manic mica
Morty/Ho-oh available?
Yes at 140
proud axle
Oh
mellow linden
Wait
manic mica
Boosted
proud axle
Does he have Speed support?
mellow linden
If you have SS Morty then why didn’t you use him initially?
mellow linden
Does he have Speed support?
SS Morty has fantastic gauge support
zealous karma
My first 4200 points in master mode, how i am able to achieve more points damn e...
This seems very much like teams that can 2K
proud axle
Okay, then SSHilda SSMorty Silver?
mellow linden
That can work
manic mica
I don't know how to use him i am always stuck with him
mellow linden
SS Morty just…sets Sun then spams Trainer Move until he needs to set Sun again. Potion as needed
He’s not a complicated Support
proud axle
That leaves Drasna and Siebold. Normally I'd suggest a rain offtype team against Siebold, but your Malva team might be "eating" your best water and rain units
manic mica
Ok only sun & trainer moves & potions
manic mica
No
mellow linden
If you run out of MP then Flame Charge obviously should be used to keep triple queue going
mellow linden
If we really want to do Rain off-type against Siebold then Cyrus + Sycamore + Winona
No need to bring in eggmons
manic mica
No i am not 🍀 to grab
mellow linden
Can’t say I recommend a Rain team against the Water type specialist though
manic mica
This seems very much like teams that can 2K
How as i tried at reaching at 4200 makes me mad
rotund lagoon
Been having fun testing accessible teams this round 
zealous karma
Are you triple queueing?
rotund lagoon
You checked the parameters in the pins?
manic mica
Been having fun testing accessible teams this round <:PhoebeGiggle:6284481051923...
Ok then gonna make some experiment and check whether it fits or not 🍀
In which parameters??
rotund lagoon
For Kalos, you’re better doing 2k pre-sync.
manic mica
For Kalos, you’re better doing 2k pre-sync.
For my team is it possible to do 2k
Each round??
rotund lagoon
Well…yes. Some need fixing, but you have limited units that should annihilate these rounds.
zealous karma
With your teams, they’re extremely possible
You have some insanely broken units on and off type
manic mica
Who those are pls 🙏 tell me serena only i know
Mostly i use those 5 teams every where
zealous karma
Lisia Hilda Cerena
manic mica
Due to others at 110 stage
rotund lagoon
Also Aurochs and Gaming Eevee does F2P clears
manic mica
Cool so should i follow them and gonna focus clearly on f2p
zealous karma
Also Aurochs and Gaming Eevee does F2P clears
Gaming eevee does F2P runs but they’re for like much older F2P players I would say
Ex swimisty Lodge cynthia etc
rotund lagoon
Yeah, and I like to stick to minimums
manic mica
Ok lets try then f2p units, should i focus 5 teams with different teams, like water, dark, grass etc etc
zealous karma
I just try to make my F2P clears as widely available as I can
Except having to use lodge blue which I’m still upset about!
rotund lagoon
Ok lets try then f2p units, should i focus 5 teams with different teams, like wa...
Also you do not need to go strictly F2P if you have limiteds
Just learn teambuilding basics and you’re fine.
zealous karma
I prolly should’ve just ran Focus rush on Solgaleo and flinch stalled
And the teams you already have there are fairly good
manic mica
Yes flinching helps me to clear the steel stage for 1000 points
But whenever i use sync move with Solgeleo he only damages 1200 or less
manic mica
Using sonia and morty for Solgeleo at steel stage
rotund lagoon
Ah, so no Crits….
No wonder Solga isn’t doing the damage you want.
Crit is extremely valuable and a stat to always think about.
manic mica
How to get crits?
rotund lagoon
Crit buffer.
Analyze your roster on who can buff Critical Hit Rate.
You need it from a Support.
You can switch BP Morty imo
OH MY GAWD I ALSO FORGOT!!!
DIANTHA HAS HEALTHY ADVANTAGE AS WELL
So you’re being held back by not one, but two obstacles
Unless you got Sonia’s Spark to do paralysis.
manic mica
What are those obstacles?
rotund lagoon
Flinch is a status change
sinful brook
Flinch isn't a Status Effect
manic mica
Sometimes it works some time not
rotund lagoon
Not a status condition
Read up on the differences.
Status conditions are things like 
Status changes are like 
sinful brook
When building your team, you can filter over in Known Moves of the Filter section. It'll list Status Change and Status Effect filters under different categories
manic mica
The first one is burn & paralyzed status conditions right
sinful brook
Yes.
rotund lagoon
That’s what I said….
sinful brook
Burn, Paralysis, Poison, Badly Poison, Sleep, and Freeze are the Status Conditions.
manic mica
Second trap & some other conditions
rotund lagoon
You’ve played Pokémon before, right?
manic mica
Started casually from 16 dec 2022 and from 1 feb i really like this game so doing my best to understand
sinful brook
The 2nd aren't "Conditions" is the thing. Conditions and Changes are different things in the game, for various reasons(example being this one, where one gets through Healthy Advantage and the other does not)
rotund lagoon

I mean a mainline Pokémon game.
Not this one.
manic mica
No first Pokemon game
rotund lagoon
Huh….alright then.

I will read tips & I'm gonna experiment with team building learning & sync grids☺️
Thank 🌹 you guys for some tips 💡
Lets try for 6k points

Man I love supports with burst damage

Me earlier: Spends the past week curious how I'll elect to do Steel weak Diantha but need a Status when I finally get time to do CS this week.
Me today: Oh right just offtype with Red.
Such a dumb set of units
proud axle
Our first version of Red (with his 'zard) won a lot of fights he wasn't supposed to be able to
Now, our latest version of Red (with his Pikachu) is once again winning a lot of fights he's not supposed to be able to 
full mesa
I used Hop/Solgaleo/Skyla combo for that battle. Better safe than sorry.
zealous karma
Such a dumb set of units
Solgaleo is rather perfect for the stage
keen silo
Our first version of Red (with his 'zard) won a lot of fights he wasn't supposed...
Red built different
He does not say anything most of the time, maybe that's why
proud axle
~~He does not say anything most of the time, maybe that's why~~
He can't have "impossible" in his vocabulary if he doesn't have a vocabulary
keen silo
~~He can't have "impossible" in his vocabulary if he doesn't have a vocabulary~~
He can display it with actions though he does that
mellow linden
So you’re being held back by not one, but **two** obstacles
Keep in mind Sunsteel Strike ignores that passive

Using solgaleo was easier than my normal 2K run lel

Piercing blows my beloved.
weak sleet
So I'm trying to unlock master mode, does this work?
rotund lagoon
Keep in mind Sunsteel Strike ignores that passive
How in tf do I always forget that?? 
Still, not having Crit is an issue in itself.
weak sleet
Problem is Aaron was going to be used for my bug team too....
mellow linden
Still, not having Crit is an issue in itself.
Of course
weak sleet
These are the pieces I have left
rotund lagoon
How many matches are left?
weak sleet
I was thinking of using Sawyer somewhere for dark, but no clue what to even do ice.
weak sleet
How many matches are left?
I haven't started yet, I just was going to get my teams built.
rotund lagoon
Start making the teams and when you have a filler spot, plop an Ice and/or Dark.
Not on the same team, separated, I mean
rotund lagoon
Sure! That’s a filler spot.
The frogs will decimate Hard Mode anyway
Oh DUH! C Calem fills Dark!
So you should be fine if you got C Calem, Cerena and an Ice on that team.
rotund lagoon
Candice, then.
You don’t need a lot, just someone to fill the spot, and she is not gauge heavy at all.
I guess you could also do Glacia?
weak sleet
Yeah maybe I'll do her
rotund lagoon
Malva does physical moves iirc
Just get someone who boosts Defense.
rotund lagoon
Oh weird question tho
What is your plan for Aaron on your Fighting team? SSA Cynthia is there, so bulk should not be an issue.
weak sleet
What is your plan for Aaron on your Fighting team? SSA Cynthia is there, so bulk...
Frankly, I have no clue
He was just sitting in my preset team and many moons ago someone said use him with Cynthia and bea.
rotund lagoon
He does boost Attack, true…but I would use someone different than him.
Maybe keep Aaron for your Bug team but switch him from your Fighting?
void wyvern
Malva does physical moves iirc
Just get someone who boosts Defense.
Water Malva and sides are entirely special
weak sleet
Like defense or something?
rotund lagoon
Like defense or something?
A different Attack buffer.
Maybe Hilbert?
Is he 3/5+?
~~Also Joey I did kinda forget, but Lodge Dawn being there makes that team not need to be changed ~~
void wyvern
Lodge dawn my beloved. Sorry if I stepped on any toes
rotund lagoon
~~Lodge dawn my beloved. Sorry if I stepped on any toes~~
Nah I just forget things
weak sleet
Water team is just frogs of course
rotund lagoon
What about Sonia? Do you have her?
weak sleet
Yup, and ex

Also for Malva, you might want a weather changer because she has sun and charging sun 5.
rotund lagoon
Yup, and ex
3/5?

You may struggle with that fairy team
rotund lagoon
That’s my next agenda
void wyvern
What move level is diantha?
rotund lagoon
I think the Fairy team needs adjustments cause of zone and the amount of strong attacks.
rotund lagoon
DIANTHA 1/5 CAN WORK
zealous karma
Oh I’m sure she can
I’ve done it lel but for others who are not as experiences may struggle
void wyvern
Hehe…yep…she can work…
rotund lagoon
Didn’t mean to shout but we did a whole testing session on this

I used Ldawn and BPMorty as a budget team and it worked fine and well
rotund lagoon
I was more laughing irl than anything
weak sleet

Oh, yeah Diantha is just 1/5. It's an old team but I can easily off type with Pikachu power.

My fighting may not be the best choice last time.
frank shuttle
I freaking hate this damn Bug Championship this week...
Which bug unit would you guys use on this one
old orchid
Lusamine and Burgh can dual strike
Wait you have SC Ingo
So a crit support + Lusamine / Burgh + SC Ingo
frank shuttle
So pretty much I want 2 bug units lol
paper summit
that's almost always the default idea when you have a zone/terrain/weather setter involved
old orchid
Wait is this MM?
old orchid
Then a spatk and crit support + Lusamine + a spdef buffer
Try to get 3 types for the medal in the team
frank shuttle
Im pretty much using Serena 😂

Honestly didn’t even notice that it was sunny day 😂
And no I don’t read the tips lol I just use my best on type team and it usually works
nocturne pawn
wait i thought she had flare blitz
did she just recycle her rock weakness gimmick then
minus sentry entry x2
proud axle
Flare Blitz was last week (and will be next week)
nocturne pawn
oh
proud axle
This week is Overheat (and Dauntless so it doesn't bite her)
nocturne pawn
this week its dauntless go viral will o wisp right
proud axle
Hunh, interesting.
Rock Malva has Drought Alert 5 for prolonged sun if you don't overwrite it.
Water Malva doesn't, but instead has Solarize to resummon the sun if she lives long enough to sync
Another reason to go for a presync, I suppose
nocturne pawn
yeah the theme i noticed with kalos cs is that its very anti post sync
fairy weak drasna being an absolute menace to society with draconic power 4 dragon rushes
💀
they really want to put you into the dirt
preferably 6 feet under
tired sleet
Hunh, interesting.
Rock Malva has Drought Alert 5 for prolonged sun if you don't...
Rock Malva recommends Bertha and Fire Malva recommends SS Kris if it means anything
nocturne pawn
rock malva recommending bertha is funny
i know its because of sand on entry but is it also due to stealth rock
proud axle
Rock Malva has less Rock DF resist I think
tired sleet
rock malva recommending bertha is funny
No, Rock Malva recommending Roxanne is funny
wicked pebble
How does this look for type clear?
proud axle
No, Rock Malva recommending Roxanne is funny
Wait, it does?
tired sleet
Wait, it _does?_
tired sleet
How does this look for type clear?
This is non master mode? Should be fine probably, but Siebold has high defence and you need to status Diantha or else you’ll deal little damage
Also if you have Dawn, I’d use her over SS Lyra, Drasna’s dragon rush hits kinda hard
wicked pebble
Who are some good, reliable sources of status?
wicked pebble
Also if you have Dawn, I’d use her over SS Lyra, Drasna’s dragon rush hits kinda...
Dawn's not tanking.
I mean, Lyra.
tired sleet
I’m aware, but you would want def buffs
If you can flinch chain well it should be fine regardless
wicked pebble
Would Alder be better?
tired sleet
Who are some good, reliable sources of status?
Calem also fits the Psychic slot i suppose
wicked pebble
For bug, I mean.
tired sleet
What move level is he? (And SC Emmet)
wicked pebble
The pokemon with Redchu are basically extrenious to b egin with, to note
And Calem is 1/5
proud axle
Status for... Diantha, right? She's Steel-weak this week?
You could just use Solgaleo. Sunsteel Strike bypasses the passive that demands the status (though its sync does not)
Otherwise I used 3/5 Sonia. Hostile Environment on her grid for 60% chance to Paralyze
wicked pebble
If it helps, this is what I have for steel.
proud axle
And Defense Crush to negate all her bonuses from Def buffs
tired sleet
Status for... Diantha, right? She's Steel-weak this week?
You could just use Sol...
Oh right that’s true
tired sleet
And Calem is 1/5
I was referring to alder, sry
wicked pebble
Ah, also 1=5
tired sleet
Hmm, should be fine, but you’d want to replace Kukui with someone with +1 accuracy
Or -2 evasion (like lisia/darach)
wicked pebble
Hmm, should be fine, but you’d want to replace Kukui with someone with +1 accura...
He was more there for defense drops so I would be replacing him anyway
tired sleet
Yup
wicked pebble
This better?
Just going with move gauge regen and hoping it'll work alright since speed is limited.
tired sleet
Everything should be fine except for Diantha (status is wanted)
If you have BP Clemont I’d use him and try to paralyze Diantha’s middle
Or BP Surge (who’d replace Gio instead)
wicked pebble
I don't want to double up on types.
I'm already using electric.
I'll just use Calem.
tired sleet
Drake would also work with his grid
trim robin
Just so I'm getting it right, this week's rock malva it's better to use classic blue because of sentry entry?

good params this week 
verbal karma
Damn
verbal karma
I only know I wanna do R2 Malva, but I dunno about the rest of the order
Like, who even is a good R1 choice for CSMM?
Wikstrom for burn? Siebold for paralysis? or Drasna for debuffs?
Would Wikstrom be a good R3 candidate instead, even?
devout sluice
Another week down.
dull yarrow
Gotta love SST
devout sluice
Only had to reset on ice because of a miss. Other than that, went alright.
void wyvern
Would Wikstrom be a good R3 candidate instead, even?
Yes he would be good for round 3 as he is primarily physical moves

How goes the Malva 2k without CBlue lads?

Ah, good
In that case: R1 Siebold or R1 Drasna?
void wyvern
Depends on who you’re using.
void wyvern
Whichever team relies more on additional effects should be used here. Be it flinching to buy time or inflicting paralysis to avoid healthy advantage.

Idk either! I'm struggling!

Important thing to remember is that Siebold has Healrhy Advantage, so unless you use N or Ash’s ridiculous firepower you need to apply status effect on his team in order to deal good damage
toxic cobalt
Oh no, what status effect can I use on an electric weak stage

Exactly lol

I like it actually, thematic. Not just a random buff.

After that, took off some HP and killed him before first sync
SSHilda is super flimsy
