your right about steven can be taken out easily before he even sets his terrian though flying weak sidney bug weak sidney also dark pheobe were bulky as hell especially when hoeen first came out when i was alot easier to the game so struggled t take them out presync though the defog idea never came to my mind so i will admit that but damm..
proud axle
Flying weak Sidney doesn't have zone and in fact has much less HP than Grass Steven
With his X Evasion All, I think you're meant to use Blue&Pidgeot against Flying Sidney, and we get him for free these days
formal vigil
oh wait he didn't though guess i just remember struggling alot against him since my blue kept barely killing before he syced and he couldn't survive no matter i tried
proud axle
Yeah, CS is really rough for earlygame players
I got an acquaintance into this game very recently and recommended not worrying about CS too much until next week (Unova)
Because, yeah, Kalos is insane
formal vigil
yeah kalos is rough... Also i do agree on your comment on sinnoh being really hard due to its entries since alot of them made the stages alot more annoying to deal with especially electric weak aaron
proud axle
Yeah! For most CSMMs, you could throw Cyrus in with a rain team and crush it, but Wise x2 says No to that
Sycamore Horn Leech shenanigans are also way less effective against Sentry x2
formal vigil
yeah true also I remember using those strategies alot too heck i still use cyrus rain team to destroy annoying sentry entry x2 stages like rock week malva
nocturne pawn
ironically enough as much as i shat on malva for looking annoying she was the one i consistently had the least trouble with
onyx ice
With his X Evasion All, I think you're meant to use Blue&Pidgeot against Flying ...
Seems a job for Leon
Blue and Pidgeot need the accuracy buffs to actually fix his own hurricane
proud axle
Bruh, Blue and Pidgeot need +6acc to deal actual damage anyway
That is more than enough to overcome Hurricane's hitrate and the 2 evasion Sidney's team gets
proud axle
If most people had Leon, we probably wouldn't have this many people asking how to beat his EBE without him
But everyone has Blue
stray sentinel
Pidgeot can use rain to his at least
nocturne pawn
you dont even need rain for hurricane he gets +4 acc because of pinpoint entry and tm
onyx ice
If most people _had_ Leon, we probably wouldn't have this many people asking how...
Not saying that people have Leon, just saying that i what i will use to counter evasion
nocturne pawn
and you can use someone like bp clemont/lillie to max out acc
proud axle
...I also think you're misunderstanding what I'm talking about
"Hoenn is less hell on new players than Kalos or Sinnoh"
proud axle
Hoenn's still hard-ish but below those two
nocturne pawn
steel weak glacia is pretty unfair
but idt theres anything else like that
meanwhile sinnoh cs goes really wild with entry x2 passives
proud axle
Thank gods we're getting Striker Perrserkers to fight her with nowadays
onyx ice
steel weak glacia is pretty unfair
Hate when they spam AOE before i ko the mid
proud axle
I breezed through Steel Glacia because I have Raihan. Now, more players can take her down with Perrserker Steel Beam
onyx ice
I guess good old Serena could work
nocturne pawn
I breezed through Steel Glacia because I have Raihan. Now, more players can take...
yeah the one special steel striker before perrserker
💀
nocturne pawn
rock malva is that but worse
because they still dont have an accessible option
and shes also more difficult mechanically too
proud axle
Indeed, Kalos is madness
nocturne pawn
charging sun 5 + flare blitz hurts really hard
although
roark and olivia both managed to brute force it
onyx ice
The only 2 good on type options for malva are classic blue and SS Diantha
proud axle
...SSDiantha is phys I thought?
proud axle
Ohhh, Rock zone rather than her own personal DPS
onyx ice
Her personal DPS is good too
proud axle
Our man Roark really went from zero-to-hero. Almost makes me wanna feel proud of this collection of numbers and pixels
nocturne pawn
rock zone basically nullified the effects of sentry entry x2
onyx ice
And she debuffs defense
onyx ice
Our man Roark really went from zero-to-hero. Almost makes me wanna feel _proud_ ...
Without proper teammates is still problematic to use
Maybe he could work with 6ex Hilbert and kukui
He has a nice nuke too
Generally i find funnier utility units like SC Jasmine and SS Diantha, than super strong damage dealers like Ash
I always like to make "bad" units shine "when possible"
Doubt i can make stuffs like Lorelei or Norman shine in master mode
The unit should have some sort of potential

Doing this praying that they never used muddy water
if you use lyra and meganium, light screen can be a lifesaver
i also did it on r1 with ss erika so that i wouldn't have to worry about managing sun
proud axle
Maxie has +1acc on his TM, and Gardenia can either grid for Sunny Disposition for debuff immunity during sun, or let an Acc debuff land and invert it to a buff with her TM. SSLeaf, if she has enough dupes (mine doesn't), can also grid for Hem In to counteract the Acc debuffs by inflicting Eva debuffs
Sycamore (Xerneas) can grid for Impervious and Sycamore (Bulbasaur) has it built in. There are a surprising number of ways to deal with the acc problem!
tired sleet
I should have used bulbasaur but i used venusaur instead

Also Ash never misses but that might be cheating

This team should 2k drasna yes?
rotund lagoon
Try it
teal siren
I did with pre sync parameters and lost
I thought maybe it should but maybe I’m wrong
zealous karma
Since gio is not ex sync with Lucian
teal siren
Why Lucian?
paper summit
big nuke
you can delete Drasna with Lucian's sync and attack with Giovanni to take care of sides
teal siren
Don’t sync with sycamore?
paper summit
yes, 1st is Sycamore, 2nd sync go with Lucian
teal siren
Okay gotta figure out why I’m just short of getting second nuke in before opponent gets their first
paper summit
make sure Sycamore has Adrenaline
that should ensure you make it to 2nd sync in time
teal siren
that should ensure you make it to 2nd sync in time
Not sure how the opponent has 2 moves before it can sync before I’m firing off my first sync. Even with triple queue and adrenaline they still get off a sync before my second
paper summit
you are not picking sync countdown parameters by accident, are you?
try recording a video and posting it here if you are able, easier to notice what might be going wrong
teal siren
Lmao I got it on the recording. Drasna had a chance to Sync before I did and her side just didn’t do anything. Not sure why tho
proud axle
Under certain conditions, they can't queue if a mon is doing its fainting animation
Including yours
undone brook
does turn denial stop the opponent's sync countdown from decreasing?
nocturne pawn
it means if they queued a move then there is more time for you to queue a move since they were interrupted
swift swan
does turn denial stop the opponent's sync countdown from decreasing?
yes, as the name suggests, it denies the move that they're about to use, actively denying their sync countdown by 1 turn and gives you the time window to queue another move
undone brook
notedo, was wondering because i wanted to know alternatives to quadque and adrenaline for sneaking in two syncs
swift swan
I'm not a fan of turn denials because usually it requires nuking the left on first sync, leaving the mid nearly unscathed and I have to make sure my 2nd sync immediately kills
I don't mind if I'm confident with my nuker, but sometimes I desperately have to nuke mid twice
undone brook
flinching the left or right would also work, right?
swift swan
yes but this is slightly harder
if you flinch/sleep them when they're queueing a trainer move, they can still use it
if you flinch/sleep them when they're queueing a pokemon move, usually they immediately switch to a trainer move without any time window to slot your own moves in
you have to make sure they've used up the trainer moves they can use, so when you flinch their pokemon moves, they literally can't queue anything else
undone brook
if you flinch/sleep them when they're queueing a pokemon move, usually they imme...

For ground weak, i need cynthia at 3/5?
Surging sand 2 and 3 increase damage by how much?
This week cs has been weird for me. Last week cs should be harder than this week right? I cant beat 1k drasna with my mewtwo team
old orchid
Surging sand 2 and 3 increase damage by how much?
50% total
marsh crater
Not even 500 point param with my mewtwo team what going on?
old orchid
She need that ramming speed and all the surging sand right?
And sync multipliers
3/5 her is a good investment if your Ground roster is dry
old orchid
Yeah 3/5 Cynthia is a huge improvement
marsh crater
I pull cynthia during her poke fair. Man she need 5 multipull
I should choose her for free champion ticket instead of alder
Or alder a good choice?
old orchid
Yes if you dont have good options for bug type
marsh crater
Need 17 more striker coin

This is kind of the purpose to CS
Solving a different puzzle each fight
terse comet
ugh I'm so close to this 2k fight yet I keep barely failing
I'm going down to 1.4 rq, but this is the team I'm using, I'll get the options I took from the guide shortly
proud axle
I think I'd rather pair May with a second Psychic attacker
terse comet
1.4k run, was running strength +6 with this in the 2k, also I don't have a decent healbot outside of Cait sync heal
proud axle
That's a lot of Max HP.
No barriers? I think that team can max crit so it can ignore them
terse comet
I have barriers on sync too forgot to say that and I need them up or they both die in 2 hits
terse comet
ohhh
proud axle
That's why they're so cheap
terse comet
I get what you mean now
so remove max hp 2 and put barriers and see if I can win then
proud axle
It might help
I think a bigger help would be adjusting the team, though
May can't do a lot by herself with this team composition
Think about this.
Psy Terrain is 1.5x Psychic damage, right?
So Psyterrain Mistball Mistball vs Mistball Mistball Mistball
They are the same damage. 3 Mistballs vs 3 Mistballs
Add a second Psychic attacker and then you actually profit
terse comet
I hope this answers why there isn't a 2nd psy attacker
proud axle
It doesn't. Giovanni is amazing.
terse comet
Sure Gio could do damage but I'm going to die too quick then
proud axle
You should also probably use fewer HP modifiers
terse comet
I'm getting to sync buff 6-7 on 2k
proud axle
Gio and May, together, should be able to kill before the enemy gets its first sync
proud axle
Stop using HP modifiers and you discover they're not actually that tough
...Also, HP modifiers stack multiplicatively
Strength stacks only additively
terse comet
What would you recommend me trying then?
proud axle
Let's see, let me bring up that chart from the pins...
And let me bring up Pomatools to show how much HP they get from the Standard 2k versus the set you were using before
terse comet
Truthfully I was only aiming for a 4k overall but may as well try to go higher
as idk if I have a comp for the other teams
proud axle
100k HP if you stack all those HP modifiers on top of 9 total Strength
terse comet
So even a max damage hit wouldn't kill
proud axle
Wheras the Standard Presync 2k set is only this much
terse comet
Would you say go Holiday Jasmine AnniMay and Gio then?
proud axle
Well, not quite Standard. I substituted No Stat Reductions for another +1 Strength
proud axle
Would you say go Holiday Jasmine AnniMay and Gio then?
Thinking...
proud axle
SE Up is good, but the key is to win before you need to heal
proud axle
Gio is EX, he'll be fine
Should have enough HP and defenses to eat an AoE and keep going
What we need is to block or cure the Poison, huh... 
terse comet
Oh I can just rng abuse
proud axle
I think I used Marley&Arcanine to do that and also provide Speed
terse comet
and also May can use psy terrain for her to block poison
proud axle
Oh I can just rng abuse
That would be miserable. The sides have a 60% chance with Poison Jab
The team wants Speed to sustain Giovanni (May gets freebies on two-thirds of her turns so it's not so bad for her)
Sycamore&Xerneas might be an option if you haven't used him elsewhere
terse comet
Oh this is round 1
proud axle
Permanent field effects? That's great for this too
terse comet
and like I said, idk how far I'll be able to go for the other rounds
proud axle
May doesn't need to refresh Psy Terrain, and Sycamore's gauge accel becomes permanent...
terse comet
Also why
proud axle
Hm?
terse comet
would I need Syca
proud axle
Speed.
terse comet
When May does move gauge accel
proud axle
And Poison cure
Oh, right, she does that
I keep forgetting.
With Mewtwo's base Speed, and May's gauge accel and freebies, maybe you could make this work without Speed
Looking for alternatives, then...
proud axle
If it doesn't work, it might still be funny
terse comet
HAHA
proud axle
And it hecking worked!
terse comet
Now past this I have no idea what my plan is as truthfully I just offtyped non mm
proud axle
Normally I'd suggest using the round 1 modifier for Siebold, as permanent sun is going to be useful against him... but it's a bit late now
proud axle
People seem to report that the Siebold fight is particularly rough-- not just from acc drops but from Muddy Water's direct damage
terse comet
because sun spam
proud axle
How'd it go?
Round 2 is particularly dangerous to face Siebold because of Muddy Water spam
Sun doesn't weaken water in this game...
proud axle
Malva's offense is full special, so that's risky. Wikstrom's is mixed, so that's the least-bad opponent for Round 2
proud axle
because ground options aren't the best
I don't suppose you have SSErika? With that many Sunny Days you might not need Maxie
terse comet
I'll just see how much my special damage does and go probably post sync for this one
proud axle
In other words you could shift Maxie to Diantha's fight
terse comet
proud axle
Damn. Hm...
terse comet
Should I see how it goes?
I can just bring SSDiantha or Marnie for Diantha
and enable zones
proud axle
Perhaps...
Getting 2k on round 1 means you can also go for lower-score runs on the rest of the fights
terse comet
True as like I said, end goal was 4k so I can EX Diantha
proud axle
That means you can lower your scores to 500 each I think. That might not be so bad
Good luck!
terse comet
ty, also yeah I think 500 could be pretty easy, might just strength +6 everything ngl for a couple more points
proud axle
Add barriers and maybe No Status/Debuffs where applicable, I suppose
sick anvil

long thicket
Haven't attempted Wikstrom again, I'll try to go for Hop and do attempts with him because I don't feel like the permanent pool Fighting units are very good for that level of difficulty.
mellow linden
Bea shreds Fighting weak stages though
mellow linden
Fighting weak Wikstrom’s main thing is his front-loaded damage if you lack a way to clear his Steel Zone
If you get through that he doesn’t have much else up his sleeve
proud axle
I used Wally and Korrina against Wikstrom, but they did have Aura Cynthia backing them.
If not for the rampant Earthquakes, Solgaleo (weak to Ground) might've been a good choice too; I fought Wikstrom on round 2. Special Attack amp.
Focus Blast, you see
long thicket
I can't really figure out how she plays with a solo 4 gauge move (so the whole gauge because restrictions), and she's not EX for me yet.
My Wally is EX, but even then.
proud axle
It's not easy. Sometimes that combo runs out of gauges for me unless Aura Cynthia's accel field is deployed a turn in advance
And she can't do that until at least turn 3
void wyvern
a speed support with Aura Cynthia and wally to cover ramming and help with gauge. Nita is often my go to but if you don’t have Nita even someone as simple as Marley will work if you’re on a mega budget. Other f2P options include Bp Janine, Skyla, Roxanne,
zealous karma
Does drasna have some means of increased visible crit chance because I’ve done like 10 different attempts now and she’s crit at least twice in each one
zealous karma
Never noticed pain
paper summit
well, Poison Tail's BP is 38, it's not that bad
proud axle
Don't use a non-Vigilance tank, then
zealous karma
Well it’s not hits poison jab
But for 3K it chunks jasmine by 100 hp at half Hp param pain
And then the next one is boosted by POH Toxin power so it goes to 1000
teal siren
Does round 3’s effect on moves extend to aggravation?
paper summit
yes
what it doesn't affect is passives adding those effects to moves that do not have them innately
like Staggering
teal siren
Ohh so on this round Brendan’s bullet seed stagger is not more likely to take effect
paper summit
correct, not that you'd use that move in the first place, but yes, that's the idea
teal siren
correct, not that you'd use that move in the first place, but yes, that's the id...
Yeah don’t use bullet seed at all………..
manic kiln
Who do you have
teal siren
Well with accuracy drops is sceptile even good to use here?
sand karma
Do you have aaron, SSErika?
sand karma
That's great
Is Lyra available?
Hilbert will do if she isnt or any speed buffer tbh
Grid aaron for precision pals and tm MPR
Erika Sun Erika DPS Erika Sync go brr
Which round is this?
sand karma
Yeah grid aaron, and use all SSErikas blade and syncnder sun and bring along any speed buffer
Should be nice
teal siren
Yeah grid aaron, and use all SSErikas blade and syncnder sun and bring along any...
Do I need to EX Aaron?
toxic cobalt
You never need to EX anyone but Aaron is a decent EX option
sand karma
Do I need to EX Aaron?
If you have the materials he's certainly an excellent choice for an ex support
But for this stage I think Erika can handle herself
woeful wave
Would like to ask if my setup is ok
Well, I just got some of them. So didn't lvl up just yet
this my roster
proud axle
Giovanni has no way to get SpAtk in that team
woeful wave
ok, that team is the one may have been a wonder on how to build
proud axle
Pick a Support for Gio's needs. Are you familiar with teambuilding concepts or should we go through a practice exercise?
woeful wave
the choose your dps, then 1 support then the one that buff the dps?
proud axle
Right. So can you tell me what it is that Gio wants from his support?
woeful wave
Sp. atk, and crit?
woeful wave
eva 2, crit 3
proud axle
So he needs SpAtk and teamwide Speed.
Since Supports are usually the ones who can buff others, you can filter your roster by Role: Support and then to Known moves: increase ally stat: SpAtk
And then look for ones that also give Speed
woeful wave
proud axle
(If you click both SpAtk and Speed at the same time, it shows you all the pairs that buff either of them, which is less useful)
woeful wave
eilo
proud axle
Elio might work!
woeful wave
do I keep bianca?
proud axle
Yes. She has Psy Terrain to make Giovanni stronger
And she can even tank a little because her self-buff raises her defenses
sinful garden
sabrina is also an option she maxes sp atk
proud axle
It's useful because the other frequently-picked partners for Giovanni (Sabrina or Roxanne) are pretty glassy
woeful wave
wasnt sabrina support class
proud axle
Moving on... Your Wikstrom team has no Support at all. The team will fail fast because all three members are fighting for gauges
proud axle
wasnt sabrina support class
Yes.
She's on your list there
I like multi-attacker teams, but all attackers on the team still require their buff needs met
woeful wave
sonia work?
proud axle
Solgaleo, in particular, has serious difficulty getting enough crit
Sonia can work if you grid Wally and Korrina to be able to max their crit
woeful wave
ah I switch solgaleo into Chop
proud axle
Then it might also work that way. Korrina and Wally can gain speed on their own, though Wally needs to be hit by stray group-target attacks to get it
...Wait
Which Hop
woeful wave
Fighting Hop, the new one with fighting zone
proud axle
That is good, but you might still want someone who can tank
woeful wave
I switch in sonia
proud axle
That will work, I think. Sonia, Neochamp Hop, and... your choice of Wally or Korrina
woeful wave
so thinking of wally, Chop and sonia. not sure which one will be better korrina or wallt
wally*
proud axle
I'd lean Wally if your Sonia is not EX
woeful wave
wally then, she is not EX yet
proud axle
His Focus Blast would be bad here because he can't give himself enough SpAtk for it, but Sonia can give him Atk.
So since nobody else "needs" the sync, you can give it to Wally so he can Mega and gain Close Combat to use all that Atk
woeful wave
do I sycn once with wally, then all in Hop's?
proud axle
Moving on to the third team.
That team has no group speed buff aside from Cheryl's grid
proud axle
do I sycn once with wally, then all in Hop's?
This sounds good
I think if you still want healing on the Dark team, you should swap Cheryl out for Skyla
woeful wave
this one I switched Karen to CMarnie
proud axle
Oh, then you don't even want to heal her, because she's a lot stronger when her HP is not max
woeful wave
but skyla buff speed still ok right?
proud axle
Skyla is still a useful choice. You could just heal Piers instead
Yeah
Siebold team...
Rosa's only contribution is Support EX, and I'm not sure it's actually enough to be worth the team slot
Especially since your Lyra is 3/5 and can summon the sun with her sync
proud axle
My choices would be either
Sycamore+Xerneas: Can grid for Impervious so he won't be harmed by Muddy Water Acc down, and he has Horn Leech to fight back. He doesn't need to sync, but the option is there if you want it (and he has EX)
Silver+Ho-oh: Solar Beam is strong and gauge-efficient
Gardenia: can grid for Sunny Disposition to become immune to stat-downs (including Muddy Water vs Acc) during sun. Or she can just use her TM to flip an Acc down into an Acc up.
Brendan: Can grid for Charging Sun 5, but might need lucky cookies to get Dauntless so his Leaf Storm doesn't eat all his SpAtk buffs
SSErika, Lyra, and one of those.
woeful wave
could try the Silver+Ho-oh,
proud axle
Vs Diantha: Cynthia pretty much requires Sandstorm to accomplish anything, so you need to glue a Sandstorm source to her
proud axle
could try the Silver+Ho-oh,
(Watch out, he's weak to water)
woeful wave
O, can decide after the Diantha one, if this dont use Sycamore hahaha
sandstorm? then acerole
my only sand for now
proud axle
Yeah, or Bertha or Ingo, but I didn't spot them on your roster
woeful wave
ya dont have them yet
trail smelt
Acerola works, she can hax enemies with flinching
proud axle
We sent Skyla to another team, so we need to pick a new third member...
woeful wave
AAron?
or Hop
I sandstorm into Cynthia's TM for the boosted state up right? so T1 and T2 will be to boost cynthia her self.
proud axle
That can work. I'm a little worried about gauge after that, but Aaron and Acerola can spam 1bar moves so it might be fine
As can Hop, actually.
Hard choice. Heal Order versus Potion...
proud axle
Only to himself, but he's the one who needs it since he's tanking, so that's also good
proud axle
I'd use Cool Right, and then Defend Order, and then the other Cool Right
Or possibly even Defend Order first and then both Cool Rights
...Diantha's Tyrantrum knows freaking Head Smash
It's terrifying
You can try Aaron first and then if that doesn't work out, you can switch to Hop and see if he does better
woeful wave
do I grid into soothing sand, sand screen? , sand shelter, surging sand 2?
proud axle
I think there are some grid recommendations in that one google doc... I'll see if I can find it for you
proud axle
Aaaand the doc doesn't have a 2/5 recommendation
proud axle
I'd go with this, then. You will really want Sands of Time for this fight, as Diantha has speed debuff skills
woeful wave
ok, will try. just wonder if this can team can at least clear 850
proud axle
Acerola just needs this
She has no bulk so her TM will get her vaporized immediately
Though if you use Permanent Field Effects, you might not even need Sandstorm MPR
woeful wave
another quesiton, do I just Lyra sync all the time?
proud axle
Depends on who else is on the team
woeful wave
I using professor sycamore, SS erika and lyra
I guess, sycamore once, then all lyra?
proud axle
Silver also has Solarize so he can summon the sun himself. Despite his sync being the wrong type, he has way more offense power than Lyra, so it would hit harder.
Sycamore is EX, so if you sync with him, you get double the sync buff and +6SpDef. Erika would need to refresh the sun herself for the next cycle though
proud axle
I guess, sycamore once, then all lyra?
Yes, this can work
Though if you do the Siebold fight on round 1, you could have Sycamore sync once and then give the rest to Erika
woeful wave
it depends on which parameter I facing the E4 then
proud axle
Since the sun will be permanent so she doesn't need to recast it
woeful wave
I got 3 team got field settler XD hahahah
proud axle
Field effects can be really powerful in this game
woeful wave
R1:
R2:Malva
R3:
R4:Drasna
I cant decide on R1 and R3
like do I need R3's eff?
additional effect up
proud axle
More like there are enemies you don't want with it
For that matter, the same goes for R2
Wikstrom's team has a lot of 30% flinch moves that become 60% on R3
woeful wave
then R1 wikstrom will be the better choice?
proud axle
R1 Wikstrom is also dangerous because it means you can't wait out his Steel Zone
woeful wave
o ya ...
proud axle
it's one of those pick your poison moments
I'd put Wikstrom on R2 because his team isn't fully Special-heavy and R1 or R3 would be way worse to fight him
On R2, you could even have Wally use Focus Blast to exploit the R2 modifier
proud axle
That could work.
That means Siebold for R1, and that means you can have Sun and Gauge Accel Field the whole time
proud axle
Skip the Sync+25 node, we don't care about Lyra's damage
For this particular fight, since sun is permanent, you could even remove Solarize and see if you can reach Hit&Heal
You also won't need Energy Ball MPR with all the Speed and the accel field
proud axle
Looks like she even has energy left over
You could save one use of her TM for when her regen expires, and use it just to reapply the regen
woeful wave
O that one XD. I was thinking where was hit and heal
proud axle
The enemy uses Muddy Water a lot so she'll take a lot of side damage
Erika is the one most in danger of dying, but at least we can reduce the risk on Lyra
woeful wave
Any chance of going higher than 850?
woeful wave
Erika is the one most in danger of dying, but at least we can reduce the risk on...
Get all the grid to increase survivability
woeful wave
I can try. Since reseting is available
I aim to at least get 4.2k
EBE for Kalos is hard for my roster? I did try the builds shared. Not much success.
proud axle
Calem can be defeated with an F2P team
And only mid RNG
I can't say much about Serena because I had the Neochamp Greninjas, and they destroy that fight
woeful wave

woeful wave
Or at least 1500 (the old max)
@proud axle is the the one?
proud axle
That can probably work
Watch out against Drasna, though, I think she uses Toxic (with Viral 9) late in the fight
long thicket
So I got Hop and it was still a bit of a close fight.
I'll have to get used to his kit and it should feel better later.
Diantha just took 2-3 tries.
onyx ice
Though do Master Skills even affect Max Moves...?
No they don't
proud axle
Welp!
onyx ice
The bulk of the damage was done by dojo Gloria
Hop was more in the support role
The nice thing was destroying the stage turn 3
proud axle
It's kind of funny when the dude with 356 base Atk powering a 168BP move is the support
His skillset does enable him to work like that, but yeah
onyx ice
Not that close combat BP is much lower
proud axle
It's like bringing a machine gun to a knife fight
when your job is to be the cheerleader for someone with a freaking bazooka

Basically
The funny thing is that in some team comps Dojo Gloria plays the cheerleader part
proud axle
I think I see how. She helps him ruin the enemy's defenses so his sync nuke is ready fast
onyx ice
With Dojo Gloria i think the hop sync can be ready for 1st sync
woeful wave
Energy problem hahaha
@proud axle manage to clear 3 stage for 4.5k
This team my need some changes
proud axle
Roxanne instead of Elio, and let Bianca tank
woeful wave
Ah, parameter 4 was so down aoe XD
Will ask for advise tmr. Gtg 💤
Still thank you so much. Was able to get 4.5k
marsh crater
Roxanne instead of Elio, and let Bianca tank
Bianca can tank?
Can i go 2k with ss erika 2/5, silver solar beam? Last time can do 1.5k with xerneas. But i need xerneas to beat drasna. My lyra meganium is only 1/5
old orchid
Its not recommended to use Silver here since Siebold loves spamming aoe water moves
Do you have 2/5 Brendan at least?
swift swan
Yeah im counting on evasion for not hitting hooh
Ehhh this will be hell
proud axle
Bianca can tank?
Yes. Her TM even raises her defenses
Just like some Supports can strike, some Techs and Strikers can tank
marsh crater
Ehhh this will be hell
I think got lucky, using presync param and hoping siebold use water pulse on xerneas
proud axle
Roxanne has lousy bulk; Bianca can probably tank better than Roxanne
marsh crater
But yeah i think cant go 2k with my current roster
swift swan
You just need to get used to the difficulty jump
marsh crater
Heck. Maybe ill just offtype drasna with my greninja water team
Since got chop maybe i can use him for wikstrom. Bea 1/5 or wally 2/5?
Chop wally/bea. And for support is who?
swift swan
Him alone should be enough i reckon
swift swan
Chop wally/bea. And for support is who?
Speed support
marsh crater
Him alone should be enough i reckon
Really? I want to do 2k, and dont have enough champion spirit to ex chop
And wait i dun have team to beat diantha
marsh crater
Speed support
Ok ill use skyla then
For diantha. Can i use ss diantha, cynthia and hmm hop or kiawe maybe? Argh dont have enough speed buffer
proud axle
Cynthia demands sand, unless you mean a different one
marsh crater
For sand. I only have accerola.
proud axle
That is fine
marsh crater
But cynthia is 1/5 honestly haih
marsh crater
Can i tank with accerola?
proud axle
Absolutely not, she has no bulk. If she uses her TM, she will probably die
mellow linden
Can always just off-type
proud axle
You could go with a classic rain team, though watch out if they're Special. Diantha has SpAtk debuffs I think
mellow linden
It would depend entirely on who you have
proud axle
Also Speed debuffs, so Inertia and Ramming Speed units might have problems
mellow linden
Absolutely
marsh crater
I dunno. I didnt build her yet
mellow linden
Kris + Rain setter + appropriate Support should work fine
marsh crater
The recent pull make her to 5/5
mellow linden
Grab Haymaker and Inertia from her grid at minimum
marsh crater
The thing is i want to use rain team on drasna too but using greninja
Lets see if i have more rain setter
Ccalem is with cmarnie for malva
proud axle
Ooh, Kris also has Super Powered 5
proud axle
Ok i can have 2 rain team
Somewhere, Maxie is mad and doesn't know why
marsh crater
Maypert can go with kris
proud axle
That leaves the Support. Hm...
marsh crater
Hilbert 1/5?
proud axle
Could work if you grid Kris for Critical Focus. But who else is here?
marsh crater
We want what for kris maypert again?
For cserena winona i can go with leaf eevee maybe
proud axle
Kris/Maypert needs literally everything, is the problem
marsh crater
Err give leaf eevee to them? She can buff everything and potion?
proud axle
Could work. Grid Kris for Crit Focus and May for Dire Rain, and they can reach max crit on their own
marsh crater
Dire rain? She can get it at 2/5 right?
proud axle
I don't remember, sorry
marsh crater
Oh she got it at 2/5 dire rain 1
Ok its done
Now the final problem. Sync orb
Dang
Wawawa this is tough
talking strategies but cant do it cause no sync orb.
I need to grid kris maypert and leaf. And to ex leaf
And need to grid chop a bit too
storm moss
Can someone help with Sieablod 😭
SS Erika SS Morty and Kris just aren't doing it 😭
MM
dark osprey
Get an accuracy buffer/evasiveness debuffer
proud axle
The other person is using Kris but the other person is using her on a rain team, so that makes sense.
What's Kris doing on your sun team? 
storm moss
For her tm
mellow linden
Her Trainer Move doesn’t help anyone other than herself
paper summit
what do you think her TM does? 🤨
mellow linden
Oh
storm moss
The one with meg
mellow linden
That makes much more sense
proud axle
Meg...anium. Okay, now I get it
Does that team even need Morty, actually
You could swap him out for a second Grass attacker
mellow linden
What specifically is going wrong? I have a feeling the issue lies with lack of accuracy buffs
paper summit
well, I'd rather swap Lyra for another attacker
mellow linden
You could swap him out for a second Grass attacker
I’d rather Lyra is swapped for another Support or damage-dealer since SS Erika can max her Attack/crit in 2 turns
mellow linden
That's what I'm using
Could try BP Clemont instead of Lyra and just have SS Erika use her Trainer Move twice
proud axle
I think I'd still lean Lyra for other reasons. For example Erika and Silver have Inertia, and Sycamore needs more Atk than Morty can give him
mellow linden
Or even once if it’s under Sun
storm moss
Lillie? And clefairy?
mellow linden
Lillie can work for accuracy buffs
proud axle
Sycamore (Xerneas) can grid for Impervious and just ignore the Acc debuffs
At least, on himself
storm moss
That's all I'm missing really the accuracy drop screws me over
proud axle
Gardenia can grid for Sunny Disposition and also ignore Acc debuffs during sun (or invert them to Acc buffs with her TM)
storm moss
I thought that
mellow linden
Let’s start by swapping Lyra for an accuracy buffer and see how that goes
storm moss
I'll add Lille and see how it goes
proud axle
Do you happen to have Maxie/Groudon?
mellow linden
SS Erika can use her Trainer Move once under Sun to handle the majority of her offensive buffs
storm moss
I usually sunny day then soak the sun then speed then spam leaf blade
proud axle
Maxie's TM gives himself +1Acc so the enemy will need to debuff him twice to bring him to the negatives, while he blasts them with Solar Beam
storm moss
I only have Archie
proud axle
Darn
proud axle
Well, if the acc-buffer plan doesn't work, I'll still suggest trying Lyra + Sycamore(Impervious grid) + SSErika next
drowsy perch
I just got my first 10k this week. I beat Siebold 2k twice so far using Sycamore&Xerneas/Leaf&Venusaur(2/5)/Viola&Masquerain. Only EX was Xerneas. Just did poison/trap stall. Viola just traps and then spams struggle bug. Venusaur just spams razor leaf. Xerneas just stays alive with horn leech. Just in case that hasnt been recommended a hundred times. I gave up trying to brute force it with my limited roster.
proud axle
...I feel like that team could have won with raw damage if Viola was swapped for a crit support. But you already won, so that's okay
drowsy perch
Maybe! I had never tried poison stall before, and wanted to see in action.
proud axle
By the way, LuciferBlair, which round are you trying this in
Round 1 would be great so you don't have to recast Sun
Round 3 is risky because the acc drops become more frequent
Round 2 is also risky because the enemy's offense is pure special
storm moss
I get killed by sync
mellow linden
I’m kinda surprised Siebold is getting to his Sync, tbh. How many Syncs did you get before Siebold’s Sync went off?
proud axle
That leaves the championship match. Good luck, Tyrantrum's Head Smash is terrifying
storm moss
Synced with leave then SS Erika before even one sync from sia
storm moss
That leaves the championship match. Good luck, Tyrantrum's Head Smash is terrify...

Lyra’s actually redundant in that team, you could swap her for someone who’s a more dedicated Speed buffer like Skyla or Marley
proud axle
You could also swap Aaron out instead, for a second grass attacker who doesn't need to worry about acc down. Sycamore/Xerneas can grid for Impervious, for example. (Erika would still need to worry about acc down though)
mellow linden
Let’s wait and see if that would even be necessary
proud axle
Well, Lyra has really good special bulk and that fight's offense is pure special
mellow linden
As for SS Erika grid, get Solar Flare and Sunny Day MP Refresh and you’ll be good. That’s about the only important stuff she has at 2/5
proud axle
Plus Light Screen
It might well be the case that the Acc Down is the problem they're having in this fight
Especially if they're fighting Siebold on Round 3 (to prevent it from going to Wikstrom and his many flinches)

I told them to grid aaron for precision pals so i don't think accuracy is the problem
That's the main reason he's there
peak rune
Just do 2k Siebold poison stall, feels like a no-brainer because they're full of special attackers
Unless you intend to keep your best poison team for something else

Hi i need help for build teams for 10k this week, I have this
Is this your first time attempting master mode champion stadium/10K if so I’d rather aim for a lower score such as 7.5K as the rewards past even 4K are somewhat minimal and Kalos is very tough and not to devalue your roster but the lack of high move levels/potential sync orb shortage may make it difficult but 4-7.5K should be doable
As for teams you can try and work with are
Skyla Brendan SSEirika -Grass
Nessa Masked Royal hop -Dark
Bea sonia Nanu -Fighting
Gio Lucian sycamore -Psychic
Courtney cynthia a crit buffer like maylene could work - ground
I didn’t initial see the move lebels on some units so 2K might be doable
The pins has recommendations for parameters as well in case you haven’t seen them
Some notes
Psychic sync with lucian
Fighting Nanu can just spam screech or flinch shouldn’t fully matter which
For ground first sync cynthia second sync courtney
Don’t forget to use masked Royal TM twice to help his innate inertia
hollow night
Ok thanks for the tips
frozen depotBOT
Teambuilding 101:
Step 1: pick a damage dealer ( 
/ 
or 
with high damage)
- take a look at their moveset; note what they buff themselves in terms of offensive stats (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer)
Step 2: picking appropriate 
for your damage dealer
- take a look at your through the filter option and the Known Moves tab and pick two teammates that fill in what your damage dealer is missing (Critical Hit Rate, Speed, Attack for physical damage dealer / Special Attack for special damage dealer )
Addendum: if your damage dealer's needs can be filled in with only one support, then your third team slot is more flexible and you can choose defensive (potions, buffing defenses, lowering attack) or a second damage dealer

Not sure how to clear this
nocturne pawn
bianca gio sabrina should work
proud axle
I worry for that team's gauge income with Sabrina at 1/5
proud axle
With the current team (Roxanne), my battle plan would be something like...
Turn 1: X Def All --> Nowhere to Hide --> Psy Terrain
Turn 2: Study Buddies --> Nowhere to Hide --> Snooze, Lose
Turn 3: Study Buddies --> (Giovanni) Psychic --> Snooze, Lose
Turn 4: Giovanni sync --> X Def All --> Stored Power --> Quadqueue (Giovanni) Psychic
woeful wave
Hmm, do I need to grid Giovanni?
The dmg output is not that high XD
Or just lower to 850. Don't think it will lose that much
swift swan
minimal grid should be fine
swift swan
May need to play without the -2 gauge
nah, the speed should be fine in that team

I hope you’d do that regardless it’s 10 free bp

Tmr calem getting power boost?
rigid flint
Nope
woeful wave
Btw without the boost from smarty pants and brainteasers. My gio won't hit that much right
rigid flint
Those 2 abilities help him quite a bit
Even without that in psychic terrain he should still hit quite hard
woeful wave
Hmm. Well if I can't clear. I will lower to 850 later.
I hit my goal of at least 4.2k and above
woeful wave
For me, siebold one is easier than it looks. Wikstrom took a few try because did something wrongly. Malva got remove. Stuck at Drasna for now

Ok, if only this happen after Kanto VA release on the 9th hahaha
Then my gio also ex
Was the plan to kill within 2 sync? Having an energy problem after gio sync for the first time.
swift swan
roxanne should be buffing speed to max
zealous karma
I played this sloppily mainly due to a lack of TM MPR but this is how the battle should look
swift swan
and keep using bianca's stored power instead of psychic

I did that with gridless bianca as I wasn’t paying attention to yours move level

oh ig it doesn't work here
proud axle

Yeah, it's a big problem for new players. Sometimes the right move is to leave a unit gridless and just use them like that
neon kiln
i also have watch some guide where it stated that support is a must usually someone that can tank and buff
proud axle
Nothing wrong with partial grids either
neon kiln
while dps can be between strike or tech
where strike is for aoe sync while tech is single target nuke sync
proud axle
Yeah. There are exceptions of course, but that is the pattern
undone brook

yeah probably, you can get a few more from lodge and monthly shop if you have the coins

You'll get used to it after a while dw, and EX isn't necessary for all content
neon kiln
im stuck either way, but i alr pick up this game might as well give it a shot
proud axle
Like, Giovanni doesn't need his grid to do his main thing (blast things with Psychic)
You could leave his grid empty and just put him into teams
undone brook
Since you can't do master mode this week Champ Marnie should be able to easily deal with Malva
Or any other type if you really wanted apparently
neon kiln
I see, well i know that i need to raise gio for sure, since good support is hard to come by, so is unit like sonia
proud axle
Marnie is comically swole
500+ SpAtk, 150+ power on her main move. And when her HP isn't full (such as after she uses her TM), her SpAtk rockets to 700+
neon kiln
but to what point do i raise them, lv 125? and leave their sync grid
proud axle
100 is enough, 120 is plenty
undone brook
but to what point do i raise them, lv 125? and leave their sync grid
120 is perfectly fun
neon kiln
should i focus on dps sync grid or support sync grid first?
proud axle
Level-up growths steadily grow more and more extreme until 100, at which they drop to almost a flatline
undone brook
I'd say easiest way to get ready for CS is to make all your teams in advance even if it's a little overwhelming and build around different strikers like it said in 101
neon kiln
grid priority is the tough one xD
proud axle
120 is fairly easy to reach; the required items are probably going to just... fall into your lap on their own
neon kiln
and the team building is basing off element?
undone brook
and the team building is basing off element?
Usually, but not mandatory
neon kiln
let say for this week champion stadium?
proud axle
Using the wrong element on purpose is called "off-type" and sometimes we do it when our on-type options suck.
undone brook
How many level up items do you have rn and can you comfortably level up units?
neon kiln
tho from what i see the most important support is this game is the crit buffer and defensive buffer
as crit bypass defend
neon kiln
and defensive buffer to survive those hard hitting stages
proud axle
Your team's combined speed determines how fast your gauge fills
neon kiln
speed buffer huh
proud axle
So more speed means you can use bigger moves more often
neon kiln
yea speed sounds good too
undone brook
Defensive buffer isn't mandatory, and depending on team, speed isn't mandatory either

Sort of, but that doesn't last very long
undone brook

Sorta? Speed persists tho
proud axle
It's shorter than the time between two sync moves
And, well, Sycamore only has 1 MP for that move
undone brook
I think easiest way to figure out who/what you need to upgrade is to build out the teams first
So just pick a unit that you want to build around and we might be able to give advice from there
neon kiln
so speed is still the better one compare to gauge accel
proud axle
Teamwide speed, ideally. But if there's one member with a ridiculously high personal speed, then it might be enough to just buff that person's
If I can get two members in a team who coincidentally buff their own speed, I usually call that sufficient without needing a teamwide speed buff

gotcha i will try to build a team and ask again later
proud axle
Bea and Neochamp Hop both have self speed, so my third member (Cynthia/Lucario) was fine without needing it herself

since i dont have cynthia
proud axle
Sonia can work

If you don't have her, it becomes much more difficult to pick someone

i guess i will build those 3 and try to go for wilkstorm

Well, I guess it kind of still applies

Basically, Sun teambuilds are great against Siebold, and they benefit from the permanent fields modifier for Round 1 much more

The enemy uses Muddy Water in that fight a lot. It's group-target with an acc drop
proud axle
Do they have anyone that benefits from sun at base?
Gardenia is 5/5
If she can't get sun, she can still just use her TM to invert a stat-down to a stat-up
And get past the acc problem that way
neon kiln
I see so hooh is worth bringing
undone brook
Might be, unsure if he'll survive getting hit by random muddy waters though
undone brook
It's nice to have, but I'd say don't worry about it at all
It's a pain to farm without an event, but there is one coming later this month

Gear sucks unless it's 3star, and those are event-exclusive
But when the events come around, they're really easy to get

Oof
proud axle
You can get a set fully upgraded within an afternoon without too much fuss
neon kiln
I will just wait i guess
proud axle
Yeah
neon kiln
Thanks a bunch for the infos, a 3.5 yo game sure has alot catching up
At least alot of 3* and 4* units seem useful
proud axle
Yeah, and DeNA has been gradually going back and adding skilltrees to them
Some of which made them go from zero to hero
proud axle
Roark, the rock guy with the mining helmet, was the butt of so many jokes since launch
But now he's got better turn-by-turn damage output than some 5stars
He got his skilltree added just last week
neon kiln
Old game need to be newbie friendly if they want to keep it going
undone brook
A month or two in, most content shouldn't be too too hard
proud axle
If you invest your resources well, yeah
undone brook
Or at least getting the most important resources
proud axle
The issue with low-rarity skilltrees being added... they cost orbs
And you're stretched kinda thin!
At least it means you can have someone who can match a 5star's output eventually
neon kiln
So besides lv looks like orb is the most important power boost
proud axle
Absolutely, the skilltree (sync grid) is pretty important for a lot of characters
neon kiln
Whats next after ex?
proud axle
Eh... EXing someone else, usually
Starting with your Supports, especially
The saying goes... an EX Striker or EX Tech can make a hard fight easy, but an EX Support can make an impossible fight winnable
neon kiln
Well i know candy is another important one but i doubt those are easy to come by in first place
proud axle
5star candies are rare af, yeah
neon kiln
The saying goes... an EX Striker or EX Tech can make a hard fight easy, but an E...
Good to know
50% dmg boost
Thats huge I guess
proud axle
It can pay off fast
For some characters, the sync move isn't even that much stronger than their regular move
So the +50% damage is a bigger deal than having a stronger unit use their sync
neon kiln
Then for sure i need to tackle champion stadium
proud axle
Fortunately... I think there are 20 
for Rosa in bingo stuff, so that's one EX Support ready
neon kiln
Is 5* power up hard to get?

And the Sycamore event gives him his EX right now, so that's two

your attackers go down once the opponent syncs, but sycamore can carry after

How about misty
if you mean misty starmu I already used her
literally all of my supports with sp def up

Eevee + Maylene + Solgaleo could work
tender shore
if I use solgalro I should probably do wilkstrom round 3 then since round 4 is special def hm
I assume diantha champion is also special damage?
it won't let me check the champion battle obviously

LeafEevee should be able to tank fine and can stagger just in case round 3/4 can work I think
That… could be worse
tender shore
wait I'm confused, why would you use maylene with solgaleo? she does attack and focus blast is special
tender shore
fair enough

Actually scratch that I tried the team and it didn’t work I did have the wrong grid but I don’t see it changing a lot wik has a lot of hp
And I did this on round 2 as well…

i mean there's always poison but I was planning on using that on diantha, plus I already used Morty mismagius
maybe I can force off type with Lillie lunala but I thought the intention was you were supposed to use physical on that fight because it recommends using defense down.
also I'm tryna do hall of fame and wanted to get fighting done since wilk is fighting weak

Lemme try Bruno brb

well, I'm gonna go to bed you can ping me and I'll see it tmr if you want

That was a lot worse lel
