#Champion Stadium
smoky juniper
Is siebold 2k possible if my best Grass units are SS Leaf and SS Erika?
smoky juniper
I take it no Brendan sceptile?
I have him and Selene too, but not levelled up
Are they worth it?
proud axle
Don't underestimate Sycamore/Xerneas for this fight. He can grid for Impervious and hit the weakpoint with Horn Leech
SSErika and Lyra, together, can give him the buffs he needs for it
SSErika still has to worry about acc down, but it's less worrisome if the other half of your offense (Sycamore) is immune. And he gives +6 SpDef to the team, too
neon kiln
is this team enough to beat drasna?
it did said that her team can poison my team, i dont have chingling to counter that
void wyvern
Why don’t you have Mewtwo from Legendary adventures?
keen jasper
Fighting and dark-weak next week, you know what that means
paper summit
2 master pairs that strong wasted on type, smh
but yeah, I feel for Caitlin and Iris lol
gray badge
Yeah I saw the lined up and just went oof. They are not gonna have a good time
neon kiln
Why don’t you have Mewtwo from Legendary adventures?
I haven’t do it yet 
Maybe i should then
keen jasper
I haven’t do it yet <:KEKW:797664518482034709>
It's free gems and a free unit
And also, Giovanni's power ups are rerunning this month
void wyvern
You should should get all of them. No reason not to.
keen jasper
Yeah, but you'll have to wait for their power ups
dim depot
What are people using against Siebold? Can't mess around with this one.
void wyvern
Can you show your grass types and we can come up with a team?
dim depot
I did end up winning, but I'll need to do it again because I noticed I haven't been unlocking the custom music option because I'm not clearing these with no faints.
swift swan
you need to win with no sync pairs dying to unlock the custom music?
I don't think that's how it works... you just need to clear it at least once, no? then once you reset the CS you should be able to use custom music
trail smelt
Yeah you just need to beat the stage once to use your own music
marsh crater
My grass type
My gardenia at 5/5. Should i put dauntless on her?
Spam that razor leaf?
paper summit
Grid sunny disposition and use her alongside SS Erika
swift swan
blue's a physical support. for gardenia you'd rather have a special support
blue and ss erika run well together though
onyx ice
For Siebold, Serena works wonders
keen jasper
Not bad actually, she could see use for F2P teams

I was using ghetsis, aaron, sabrina, due to i dont have good grass types
undone brook
MM or hard?
undone brook
Can I see your grass units?
undone brook
awe darn :(
Is this pre-sync or post-sync?
Params might have something to do with it
manic mica
Those are my roster only use geo, Sycamore & Bianca for physic
undone brook
I did pre-sync with Meganium Lyra, Silver, and SS Erika
3/5 Mallow might be able to do some nice nuking? Not sure tho

mellow linden
Champ Serena + Winona + tank would probably work
Could use May instead of Winona, but if it’s Hard Mode then use Winona for type medal if Flying isn’t already covered
manic mica
Blastoise can help as tank or skyla, no its mm 1500 point post sync or should i try pre sync
mellow linden
Shouldn’t matter much on the parameters for Champ Serena. SS Blue would likely be slightly better since Team Shout can potentially help finish up Serena’s Sp. Atk. buffs, but make sure you won’t need him elsewhere if you plan to use him (same with Skyla if you plan to use her, obviously)
Oh, just make sure to turn off the “No Stat Reductions” parameter
So Water Shuriken will actually debuff
keen silo
siebold needs sp atk debuffed, otherwise tanking is kind of a pain
mellow linden
Good thing Champ Serena can potentially debuff Sp. Atk.
mellow linden
Yep
manic mica
Ok i will try with serena without using no stat reduction parameters lets hop able to clear the stage
keen silo

Worst case scenario a switch to an SS Hilda team happens

As we say "Fight fire with fire, fight water with water"
onyx ice
Is... that a good idea <:MonkaScottie:684438879352127543>
I guess the idea is that he goes down just after the rain
I should try the frogs + 6ex Kris
proud axle
I mean, there are easier ways to make Muddy Water deal 1.5x damage to you
keen silo
Why make 1.5x damage to opponents muddy water when you can 1.5x damage your moves as well
mellow linden
No point worrying about it at this point, it either works or it doesn’t
keen silo
^
if it works, HOORAY!
if it doesn't, its ok, we can try again with a different team!
proud axle
If Sycamore's still available, they could grid him for Impervious, pair him with Gardenia, and add a Support to raise his Atk and Crit for Horn Leech
No need for Sun; Gardenia can invert Acc debuffs that land on her and Sycamore will be immune to the ones that land on him
mellow linden
He’s not, they used him for Drasna
proud axle
Darn
proud axle
This gets trickier, then. Silver/Ho-oh could work but that's water-weak so it's risky
proud axle
They could also somehow speedrun Sycamore to Friendship100 in the Lodge and get his Bulbasaur
keen silo
proud axle
SS Hilda + Blaine + tank
Depending on whom the tank is, I wonder if Silver might actually be good here. Solarbeam, even with the water weakpoint. 
keen silo
I would've used silver but stage was made for sc rosa
mellow linden
I doubt he’d be as effective as SS Hilda and they don’t have SS Morty
proud axle
...What? Use him in place of Blaine
keen silo
He doesn't seem too shabby for the stage though
proud axle
To give sun to SSHilda
mellow linden
Shoehorning Silver in there would just make things unnecessarily complicated
Stick with the simple plans 1st, then try more complex stuff if the simple plans fail
proud axle
I'm not real sure this plan is all that complex
mellow linden
Maybe complex isn’t the right word in this case, but the point is that it’s easier to just have the on-demand Sun than to try and play around Silver’s Sync
keen silo
Rather have the simple blaine sun and ss hilda strike, especially if the support tank is EX
mellow linden
They can even grid Blaine for Sync nuke if they need more damage than a 1/5 SS Hilda Sync provides
But I doubt they’d need more than 1/5 SS Hilda
proud axle
Looks like he has +100% worth of sync multipliers in his grid, or quad damage if we include his innate multiplier as a Tech
mellow linden
It’s pretty good, it’s sorta like Winona’s except replace interference effect stuff with Sync nuke, iirc
proud axle
His base Atk is really really low, though...
And does this player have the orbs to grid for that?
onyx ice
So far i think may best results against Siebold are 6ex SS Erika + Jasmine + Lyra and SS Morty + Serena + Brendan/Silver/ss erika
proud axle
I took him out on Round 4 with Lyra + Maxie + SSErika (I might've done it on Round 1 but someone needed help with a Dark team... and then accused me of not helping them after I demonstrated it...)
onyx ice
I guess Deoxys may offtype but I'm not sure about him tanking muddy waters in attack form
However he has protect
proud axle
He Protecc and he Attacc
dark osprey
onyx ice
If he can tank the 1st muddy water he can protect against the second and Roxanne can wide guard the 3rd
Otherwise i guess running Serena may be an option
keen jasper
As we say "Fight fire with fire, fight water with water"

Yeah, I don't know what to replace Sabrina. Just put her there for triple-queue 
swift swan
who did you tank with? tanking with sycamore might make it hard for you to quadqueue because of team shout
gridding him with adrenaline can help immensely so you can sync twice before the opponent reaches their first sync
wicked ibex
yeah I gridded him with Adrenaline so that can I finish Dragna pre-sync
it's barely done tbh
swift swan
hmmm can I see the giovanni grid

proud axle
it's barely done tbh
Do you mean you already won against Drasna?

This is gonna sound really stupid, but
Swap Sabrina with Tate.
woeful wave
@proud axle Acerola high roll flinching 2 times in a roll
proud axle
Tate can do that too, and deal damage at the same time
With his own X Atk and Sycamore's Team Sharp Entry 1, Tate can use his TM twice to max his Atk and Crit
I think this provides more value to the team than Sabrina does.
proud axle
Deoxys lives in Hoenn, it's where Muddy Water was invented and where there's Too Much Water to boot. This is an ordinary day to him.
onyx ice
As long as he tanks the 1st he can protect for the second and wide guard blocks the 3rd

Well, we found out lol
Congrats!
wicked ibex
can you drop 1 OaR tile and pick the sync BP tile at the bottom instead?
I think it's okay but I'm concerned about the rate of Sp.def debuff. Need it for Smarty-Pants
swift swan
yeah, that's why I suggested a special defense debuffer
so giovanni can focus on nuking
old orchid
You don't have Lucian?
wicked ibex
nope
old orchid
swift swan
10%, no OaR in his grid
his debuffs mainly come from the unfortuitous
but yeah it's random
proud axle
SPdef debuffs are really uncommon in this game
mellow linden
At least accessible ones are, anyways
swift swan
the most accessible for f2p is... what? mind games koga?
mellow linden
Yeah, I think so
wicked ibex
yeah, but i think he'd better in poison stall
mellow linden
Eh, can go either way since Koga’s major contribution to Poison stall is the actual Poison infliction, which Lucy or BP Erika can also handle
wicked ibex
You're right, i think it's because i don't have enough pairs to see him worth for other team

Is Sycamore&Xerneas available?
arctic wren
he was outhealing anyways 
proud axle
Was this Hard or Master mode?
arctic wren
hard TwT
proud axle
Sycamore would've been great for this fight since he can grid for Impervious (immunity to the acc debuff) and strike weakpoints with Horn Leech
Alright, let's see
Gardenia's looking good...
If she gets an acc debuff, she can use Trust In Nature to invert it to an acc buff
And then they need to land two more debuffs to bring her back to the negatives
She can also grid for Sunny Disposition, to gain immunity to stat debuffs during sun.
You should also have Silver&Ho-oh, who can provide sun via his sync move and hit the weakpoints with Solarbeam. He doesn't have a good answer for the Acc debuffs, though, and he's weak to water. So this has some risk
proud axle
I guess we need to look at what Supports are available next
You picked a heck of a time to try getting into the Champion Stadium. The Kalos League is hard! Next week it'll be the Unova League, which is much easier
arctic wren
I guess we need to look at what Supports are available next

Ooh, 3/5 Leaf.

sceptile
proud axle
Excellent. I think we can do this without sun.
I'm thinking Brendan&Sceptile, Leaf&Eevee, Selene&Rowlett (but you can evolve the Rowlett)
Leaf gets the first sync, and maybe every sync, to keep your team's acc in the positives
Brendan and Selene can raise their own crit. Brendan can reach +3; Selene can only reach +2 but her grass moves have an innate +1crit anyway
proud axle
Yeah, throw some books at Selene (and maybe evo stones) and give it a try? We can troubleshoot some more if it fails

like this then?
do i need to do anything on her grid
proud axle
Let me check
Nothing all that exciting on Selene's grid. Let me check Leaf's
Leaf/Eevee has a lot of cool stuff on it
You could go for Tackle Staggering, and Recuperation, or you could go in the opposite direction for potion upgrades
I'll leave it up to you. If you're not confident, I think I'd recommend the potion stuff
As for Brendan... you can reach one of his +5 Leaf Storm Acc tiles in the upper right, I think. This can make +0acc less depressing.
90% hitrate to 95%. In other words, it misses half as often
arctic wren

Candies should be used only on limited units
Brendan can always pop up in any banner

arctic wren
90% hitrate to 95%. In other words, it misses half as often

arctic wren
Candies should be used only on limited units
which one would be best?
proud axle
Depends on your team, I suppose
Enemy has frequent Speed and SpAtk debuffs
If you have Courtney and/or Cynthia, then permanent fields can be useful so Ground Zone and/or Sandstorm don't need to be recast
I guess we can start by asking what your sync pairs who know ground-type moves roster is. (This is not necessarily your ground-type roster, as it includes ones like Leon/Charizard)
onyx ice
which one would be best?
The 1st parameter is great if you use stuffs like zones, weather, screens, mga
Second one is useful if you are using a special damage dealer
proud axle
The boss's frequent teamwide SpAtk debuffs might otherwise throw a wrench in a special attacker plan, though, so watch out
Maybe you can do something with a rain team. I realize you've already used up SSKris, but maybe you have enough left over...?
arctic wren
I guess we can start by asking what your `sync pairs who know ground-type moves`...
hmm
i did get cynthia recently…
proud axle
You can filter your roster by Known Moves: Type: Ground
onyx ice
i did get cynthia recently…

arctic wren
why isn’t it letting me leave this damn select screen
arctic wren

Set in stone unfortunately

proud axle
Oh, the battle
paper summit
no need to kill the app, just go into team selection and then back out
arctic wren
ah yeah alr
proud axle

paper summit
the popup to select an extra param from previous rounds
doesn't let you back out until you go in to make a team
onyx ice

proud axle
Oh, that
Yeah, you can even go in, get your butt kicked, and then come back later-- and still be allowed to pick a different round parameter

Blayne but that’s it I think
arctic wren
Courtney is pretty good
so i’ve been told
proud axle
But first, is May still available or did you use her with SSKris
proud axle
Oh cool, then maybe we can find a way to do this
arctic wren
okayyyy
proud axle
May's even 3/5? This is looking good
proud axle
Courtney is 2/5 so she can max crit on her own; May has Dire Rain so she can get to effectively 3 crit on her Earth Power with just her two TMs...
arctic wren
proud axle
So we need SpAtk and a lot of Speed
proud axle
<:huh:921383170593685594>
Dire Rain is a thing on May's grid.
arctic wren
yeah
proud axle
It makes her regular moves, such as Earth Power, act like she has +1 more crit than she actually has
arctic wren
mhm
arctic wren
ohhhh wait nvm i get it
arctic wren
This _is_ a confused `huh`, right? I can't tell.
yeah haha

proud axle
Falkner can give the team Speed if he Fly-dodges something. That's a little tricky to do, though, and it slows your sync cycles down (takes 2 turns but only advances your sync countdown by 1)
onyx ice
Even base 5* is free for him
onyx ice
The only non free thing is the 6ex
proud axle
Since this is "just" Hard mode, maybe you can bring Falkner in and just... Fly when it's about to be Diantha's turn
And hopefully she's going to do an attack for him to dodge
arctic wren
alright
proud axle
That way her debuffs won't land in the first place and Falkner gives Speed to the team
I don't recommend trying this on Master Mode but it can be a thing for Hard
arctic wren
so may, camerupt lady, and falkner?
proud axle
Yeah, I think I'd try that
arctic wren
alright i’ll let you know how it goes ^-^
proud axle
Good luck!
arctic wren
thank you!
proud axle
I think I'd try it something like this...
Turn 1: Ground Wish, Rain Dance, Soar
Enemy: Diantha hopefully uses X Speed All, or at least doesn't use Head Smash
Turn 2: Delete, Ready For This, Dire Hit Plus All
Enemy: Right sidekick does something
Turn 3: Bulldoze, Earth Power, Fly
Enemy: Diantha hopefully takes a swing at Falkner and misses
May can sync to mega evolve, or Courtney can sync to deal damage
Turn 4: Bulldoze or Delete, Earth Power, Falkner lands from Fly
Enemy: left sidekick does something
Turn 5: Bulldoze, Earth Power, Fly
Enemy: Diantha does something. Hopefully it's an attack.
Turn 6: Bulldoze, Earth Power, Falkner lands from Fly
Enemy: Diantha uses X Defense All
Turn 7: Bulldoze, Earth Power, hope Diantha is out of the fight
arctic wren
shit i died
arctic wren
I think I'd try it something like this...
Turn 1: Ground Wish, Rain Dance, Soar
...
okay this was a really good guide ty
but the fly risky
it works though
nocturne pawn
fly just needs timing
proud axle
Yeah, it's why I wouldn't wanna use it in Master Mode
rotund lagoon
Blayne but that’s it I think
Probably try Aaron, Blaine and SS Erika and see how it goes
arctic wren
I think I'd try it something like this...
Turn 1: Ground Wish, Rain Dance, Soar
...
i hate this 😭
proud axle
Damn, so close
proud axle
Or maybe some regridding...
arctic wren
Looks like it just needs another try.
yeahhh for sure
arctic wren
Or maybe some regridding...
hmm
honestly
i missed the last fly 😭
i think that was def why i lost
proud axle
It's okay, Falkner's damage isn't important. We just want to prevent Diantha from landing hits for as long as possible
The first one is basically unavoidable or else we sacrifice our first sync's timing, but if you look at that plan again... Falkner is always airborne for each turn that Diantha attacks until her first sync
(Can't dodge a sync)
proud axle
Good luck. Kalos League is hard!
arctic wren
Good luck. Kalos League is _hard!_
paper summit
Earth Power May? interesting, glad you made it lol
arctic wren
arctic wren
It looks like you got em

paper summit
yes, but it can't be done in one week anyway
proud axle
Yeah, and it can't be done in one week (15 party slots, 18 types)
Finish the medal to unlock Master Mode for that region's league (including if it reruns in later months)
arctic wren
ooooh i see
paper summit
next week is Unova, so you can work on that one just fine, Kalos will have to wait until it comes back
arctic wren
one week for each region right?
paper summit
your progress carries over
paper summit
2 weeks minimum, 15 types max on one week, 3 on the other

Fire girl and siebold

Psychic Weak Drasna should probably be something with Giovanni

hes super annoying to deal with without it
spring axle
Sorry I’m not following
tired sleet
Round 4 has a parameter that gives the Light Screen effect iirc
nocturne pawn
Sorry I’m not following
do wikstrom last for e4 members since r4 parameter is halved special damage for both sides
which benefits you
spring axle
I see
mellow linden
-
Olivia + Bertha + Hop (grid Olivia for Sand Blaster, Inertia, and Stone Edge Amped Up, Hop needs his MP Refreshes)

Cyrus + Roxanne + Winona (grid Cyrus for Critical Focus + Hydro Pump Ramming Speed, Roxanne needs her MP Refreshes)

Why use olivia when they can use giovanni?
mellow linden
Why use olivia when they can use giovanni?
They definitely can use him for Drasna instead of one of the off-type comps, yeah
In which case it’d be Giovanni + Rosa + Marley, most likely
spring axle
Is there no way to search?
I’ve forgotten some characters faces
Don’t know who Olivia is
Unless I’m just blanking
mellow linden
Lycanroc-Midnight, 5-star Rock Strike pair
You have her 3/5
She’s bonkers at 3/5

thunderbolt on hilbert only did 300 vs the usual 600
I’m just stealing this info from droid

She’s bonkers at 3/5
Oh really? I was lowkey getting annoyed of pulling her 😂
mellow linden
She’s the best non-limited Rock damage-dealer in the game
tired sleet
Regardless, if its on type giovanni should probably be better
tired sleet
How many are limited that are better than her?
3: Emmet, C Blue, SC Hilda
There’s also the tech SS Diantha
marsh crater
Still waiting for mama olivia to come to me

basically every limited rock damage dealer is better than her
ss diantha is also a damage dealer

Olivia can easily handle all Rock weak content except maybe Rock weak Malva on Master Mode

spring axle

There’s also the tech SS Diantha
Blue with Aerodactyl?
tired sleet
Yes
spring axle
I see
Also Cobalt I don’t think I have enough of the Sync grid things to get the stuff on the board
tired sleet
That’s alright, a minimal grid should be fine for most (and no grid would also be fine for some)
mellow linden
Minimal stuff needed:
-
Olivia: Sand Blaster, Inertia, Stone Edge Amped Up
-
Hop: Hop to It! MP Refresh, ideally-but-not-required Potion MP Refresh
-
Cyrus: Critical Focus, ideally-but-not-required Hydro Pump Ramming Speed
-
Roxanne: Study Buddies! MP Refresh
Focus on Cyrus and Roxanne 1st
spring axle
Alright
mellow linden
If you can’t finish with Olivia’s team that’s fine, you’ll be able to use Giovanni + Rosa + Marley with no grid tiles for Drasna on Hard Mode
Just make sure to 5/5 20/20 Giovanni
spring axle
Alright Thanks again as always
Sorry to come back
But would you recommend a minimum level?
mellow linden
120
120 is cheap, and it is both the minimum and what is generally sufficient for basically all content
spring axle
Minimal stuff needed:

Is this right?
mellow linden
No, you only grabbed one of the 3 tiles I said Olivia would need

Right missing Sand Blaster

And Stone Edge Amped Up

Got this off the Bot Zone thing
mellow linden
You only grabbed Inertia
spring axle
You only grabbed Inertia
I got everything you said is this good?
mellow linden
Yeah, but if you haven't gotten Cyrus and Roxanne's important tiles I recommend doing them 1st since they should be slightly cheaper overall

spring axle
Am I blind I don’t see study buddies
mellow linden
It's listed as just "Trainer Move" on pomatools
You have the MP Refresh on that listed one
You can tap a tile to read its in-game name and what it does
spring axle
Should I stop at Study buddies
Or do I get anything else
Cuz I could just move on to Cyrus
mellow linden
Get the MP Refresh for now, since you're short on resources only get stuff you absolutely need for now
If it turns out you need more tiles then you can grab them

Is there only one cristastrophe before grid expansion?
mellow linden
Yes, but that’s not the vital tile anyways
proud axle
Despite the cataclysmic name, Cristastrophe tends to be one of the less-interesting skills you can get
spring axle
Yes, but that’s not the vital tile anyways
So all I need is hydro pump ramming speed and critastrophe?
proud axle
You don't need critastrophe
spring axle
Despite the cataclysmic name, Cristastrophe tends to be one of the less-interest...
That’s unfortunate
proud axle
I believe it's just... Critical Strike but specific to sync moves
Whereas actual Critical Strike already affects sync moves
mellow linden
So all I need is hydro pump ramming speed and critastrophe?
Not Critastrophe, Critical Focus
proud axle
And this is Cyrus? So he already has Critical Strike 9
mellow linden
They are 2 very different tiles
proud axle
Oh, yeah, Crit Focus is on the opposite end of the grid
It gives him a Dire Hit Plus effect whenever he successfully lands a crit.
And oh look, Spatial Rend has a base 50% crit rate!
proud axle
Just undo it, it's free
You can click a node to unlearn it and get the orb back
(Rather, the orbs will still be attached to Cyrus/Palkia so you can't give them to someone else. You can just spend it elsewhere on their grid)
spring axle
This is what it looks like now
proud axle
If you have an acc buff source on the team, that is fine
If you don't, I'd prefer going for Hydro Pump +Acc instead of for Ramming Speed (unless you can afford the orbs for both at once)
Hydro Pump's base hitrate is kind of uncomfortable
mellow linden
Alright, so when using that team Roxanne needs to use “Study Buddies!” 3 times. That means you need an MP Refresh. Cyrus needs to land a crit with Spacial Rend on his 1st or 2nd turn, then he can switch to Hydro Pump. Winona sets Rain so Cyrus does big damage, set it on your 2nd set of 3 actions since Cyrus is spending at least 1 turn not using Hydro Pump
spring axle
Alright, so when using that team Roxanne needs to use “Study Buddies!” 3 times. ...
Does Winona need anything on the grid?
She’s untouched
mellow linden
She doesn’t need grid, no
proud axle
If the fight somehow goes on long enough that you run out of rain, you could give her the Shower Sync grid node. This allows you to use her sync as a Rain Dance, once per battle
proud axle
Who is this team supposed to face?
Hopefully someone other than Siebold (he also uses water so the rain makes his team stronger too)
It might still win against Siebold but oof

Ya I already beat siebold and fire girl
proud axle
If this team fails against... whomever it ends up fighting... my other first instinct would be to move Cyrus' Ramming Speed grid node into Hydro Pump Acc
spring axle
Don’t have enough unfortunately
proud axle
Yeah, then I'd take the nodes out of Ramming Speed for it
There are two acc nodes, a 5 and a 10
This brings Hydro Pump's hitrate from 80% to 95%
And that's much more tolerable
...It's even a larger average damage increase than Ramming Speed, for Cyrus
Ramming Speed brings his damage from 190% to 220%. The difference is 1.1579x
Hydro Pump's acc increasing from 80% to 95% is a 1.1875x difference, which is larger
spring axle
Alright, so when using that team Roxanne needs to use “Study Buddies!” 3 times. ...
So how do I start off?
Special rend
swift swan
Spacial rend until you crit, then switch to hydro pump
swift swan
Yes, she's the support to buff cyrus's offenses
nocturne pawn
she buffs special atk without the recoil
rotund lagoon
And Speed 
spring axle
So spam study budddies
swift swan
Yes, at least 3 times
Then just spam her gaugeless move
TM if you still get refreshes and x defense all
Only switch to ancient power once you run out of uses
spring axle
Who should be getting hit first
teal siren
Probably try Aaron, Blaine and SS Erika and see how it goes
Need some help!
spring axle
Winona or Roxanne
teal siren
old orchid
I prefer using double Grass dmg dealers when I use SS Erika
Do you have 2/5 Brendan or gridded Gardenia?
teal siren
Do you have 2/5 Brendan or gridded Gardenia?
I have both but never used gardenia before
teal siren
What other handicaps did you pick? <:HilbertHmm:625860604347023360>
The first video shows parameters I’m using
proud axle
I'd get remove Half MP and Strength 1, and replace them with Power Up On Hit 2
But I think something else might be off here
proud axle
This team simply doesn't seem to have enough power to presync win
old orchid
Erika wants to pair with another dmg dealer
proud axle
There's only so much she can do on her own, especially if she has to resummon the sun
An EX Support might also help, but I don't know how many others you might have

Winona or Roxanne
Who should tank?
old orchid
Roxanne ofc

Roxanne died realll fast

Alright, which fight was this again?
marsh crater
So unova cs is much easier than kalos cs?
proud axle
It is
marsh crater
Which region is the hardest cs?
proud axle
Kalos is, like, second-hardest of the seven leagues
Sinnoh is hardest
Hoenn is just below Kalos
marsh crater
Oof ok
proud axle
The other four are easy to medium
If I had to rank them according to difficulty, it'd probably be something like
Hardest
Sinnoh
Kalos
Hoenn
Alola
Unova
Johto
Kanto
Easiest
marsh crater
I can do siebold 1.5k with kiawe, silver and ss erika. Rng save my silver at last minute
proud axle
Galar doesn't have an Elite Four and we have no Paldea content, so these are the only seven leagues for the foreseeable future
spring axle
Alright, which fight was this again?
Drasna
proud axle
Oh. You don't have Giovanni?
marsh crater
Should i try for 2k siebold? Same team
spring axle
Oh. You don't have Giovanni?
I do
proud axle
Why're we fooling around with Cyrus when there's a really strong and completely free sync pair that snipes her weakpoint
spring axle
Gio and MewTwo?

I'd say Hoenn and Sinnoh are the 2 hardest for me
proud axle
Gio and MewTwo?
Yeah

Kalos 3rd
proud axle
Can you show your roster of Psychic pairs?

Clearly doing something wrong changes the parameters. I know it’s me and not using the right inputs.
proud axle
Brendan's SpAtk decreased by 2
You don't have Dauntless on him...
Brendan is practically thirsty for Dauntless
He needs it from a Lucky Skill so he can merrily spam Leaf Storm without consequences
teal siren
He needs it from a Lucky Skill so he can merrily spam Leaf Storm without consequ...
So add dauntless. Grid Brendan for leaf storm and sun?
proud axle
Yes.
And there's one other thing, this time in your... technique
You didn't attempt the Quadqueue method
spring axle
I'd say sycamore gio +1
Sycamore is used
keen silo
With damage dealer then
proud axle
Sycamore is used
Okay. Who's left?
keen silo
Sycamore is used
what supports are left ?
proud axle
So add dauntless. Grid Brendan for leaf storm and sun?
Anyway... You've probably noticed by now that each time you use a Sync move, the whole team gains a layer of the Sync Buff, yes?
The Sync Buff increases your team's damage output by +50% each time. The faster you get more layers of this buff, the better you can smite the enemy.
If you do your actions just right, you can get two syncs in before the enemy does one
And so your damage will snowball much faster than theirs
teal siren
what supports are left ?
Here are the supports I have left.
spring axle
what supports are left ?
proud axle
Wait, let's check which team needs which
AceTreyner was... facing Siebold, and Takt was facing Drasna?
keen silo
Yeah
proud axle
AceTreyner: Lyra is an amazing support in a sun team like yours
Lyra and Meganium
Alright, so Takt versus Drasna, with Giovanni...
zealous karma
She does have LS ye
keen jasper
And if she's 3/5, her Light Screen has a 50% chance to raise your team's Sp. Def.
proud axle
Maybe I'd suggest Giovanni/Mewtwo with Roxanne/Probopass as a glass support and Dawn/Turtwig(Torterra) as a tank
Leaf/Eevee can work as a tank too
teal siren
AceTreyner: **Lyra** is an amazing support in a sun team like yours
So Lyra, Brendan, SS Erika?
keen silo
Yeah
proud axle
So Lyra, Brendan, SS Erika?
Yeah.
proud axle
Lyra's bulky on the special defense and glassy on the phys defense
But Siebold's entire offense is special attacks, so Lyra is an iron wall
proud axle
Recommended grid for Lyra?
I think I'd go with Solarize, and give her the first sync, so that SSErika can skip a Sunny Day
Lyra's a great choice for EXing due to strategies like that, but we'll worry about that later
keen jasper
Is their SS Erika 3/5?
teal siren
Is their SS Erika 3/5?
2/5
keen silo
2
proud axle
Looks like 2/5 only

Ah, so no SEUN

For takt I'd say Giovanni/Roxanne/Hop or dawn
Does Gio need anything on his board?

But Sinnoh has by far the most Sentryx2 and Wisex2 fights. And even has a Sentry/Wise x3 fight, I believe

Sinnoh and Hoenn appeared after them

And wait for it to come back around

Glacia steel type was a pain to wreck
How about rock-weak Malva?
keen silo
If you just lack the resources its fine to skip, when I first started the game I had to skip a lot of johto CS too
proud axle
I think let's count how many Sentryx2 and Wisex2 fights there are in each region, since that's my metric
keen jasper
I think let's count how many Sentryx2 and Wisex2 fights there are in each region...
Starting Sinnoh and after new ones after it
Or do you mean the fights?
sick anvil
proud axle
Yeah how many fights, since there are 17 possible fights
And they always represent all 17 in each month
sick anvil
Sinnoh was the only one I have some mixed post syncs
but yea Wise and Sentryx2 were pain for sure
keen jasper
Also, steel-weak Glacia has pretty low HP
keen silo
Between Sinnoh and Hoenn idk which gave me the most trouble overall, I just know they gave a lot 
proud axle
So Hoenn has... four. Dark Phoebe (Sentry), Steel Glacia (Sentry), Ice Drake (Wise), Grass Wallace (Wise)
spring axle
Ya I think I’ll stand out for this CSI don’t have the orbs for their board or the books to level the characters up
proud axle
Counting Sinnoh now

even Gio King struggle
I don't have Pal Marnie, but I still destroyed Glacia with Gioking
keen silo
Steel glacia really means a terrible time hahahaa

Sinnoh has seven. Electric Aaron (Sentry), Steel Bertha (Wisex3 on sidekicks), Rock Flint (Wise (lol)), Bug Lucian (Wise), Ghost Lucian (Wise), Dark Lucian (Wise), Fairy Cynthia (Wise)

So Hoenn has... four. Dark Phoebe (Sentry), Steel Glacia (Sentry), Ice Drake (Wi...
Hoenn had four and Sinnoh had seven. What the fuck are you talking about
I'll count Kalos next. I think it might actually have fewer than Hoenn after all
sick anvil
I also feel Kalos are more favorable when it comes to Sentry/Wise
like easier to get units
proud axle
I also feel Kalos are more favorable when it comes to Sentry/Wise
Rock Malva has entered the chat
sick anvil
was she Wise entry?
proud axle
Kalos has... only two. Rock Malva (Sentry), Bug Siebold (Sentry)
I suppose they leaned more on other skills to make this one hard
proud axle
Sentry on Rock is a problem because only two sync pairs have special rock moves. And one of them is Roxanne.
It's a similar situation to Steel Glacia
keen jasper
Water-weak Malva with preemptive sun with Charging Sun 5, meaning 100% damage boost on moves

It's even worse

Sinnoh has seven. Electric Aaron (Sentry), Steel Bertha (Wise**x3** on sidekicks...
Hmm Sinnoh would be harder compared to Hoenn for me... mostly because of Lucian
keen jasper
And Wikstrom with preemptive steel zone and 30% damage boost under it
proud axle
So yeah, Sinnoh really leaned into Sentry/Wise, Hoenn did some of that and some of other mean tricks, and Kalos did very little Sentry/Wise nonsense but a lot of other mean tricks
sick anvil
Hoenn was more of Aoe was it
proud axle
And Wikstrom with preemptive steel zone and 30% damage boost under it
And if you overwrite it, his Quick Tempo ruins your quadqueue anyway

I still feel like Kalos was harder than Hoenn overall, I suppose I just can't say it was from Sentry/Wise

LETS GO!! Thanks for the help!!
Good luck!
sick anvil
probably more bonus DMG
proud axle
...Wait, didn't we have to suggest a team for Takt
Fuck we got sidetracked
Okay, so, uh, Drasna right?
And they had Giovanni and possibly Will
teal siren
Good luck!
I beat him!
proud axle
Oh sweet!
keen jasper
_Fuck_ we got sidetracked
sick anvil
Then skip it
umm...
keen jasper
(I love nitro)
sick anvil
OH
sick anvil
He took it seriously
proud axle
Ah well
On the off chance they come back, we could try suggesting something like Giovanni, Will, and Falkner and come up with a turn order to have Falkner airborne each turn Drasna might swing at him
But that's a little cursed
I think it's the most likely plan to win, though
Since their Sycamore's used up
sick anvil
falkner is a bit squishy
keen jasper
And he ruins quadqueueing too
sick anvil
he doesnt have roxxanne?
proud axle
He does but Roxanne is even squishier
They reported that Roxanne died a lot, and this was only on Hard mode
Also, no orbs
So no Endure
keen jasper
He does but Roxanne is even squishier
Her low HP is what downsides her
proud axle
Ye, exactly
teal siren
I’ve already got an off type team who can beat Diantha but I’ve been super eager to try Garchomp. Who is best to pair him with? And he is only 1/5 is it even worth attempting?

So does Cynthia.
Cynthia Naomi Bertha.

Hilbert Naomi Courtney, or Leaf Naomi Bertha...
The goal was to see if there is a team I could use Garchomp on. If it’s lacking because Cynthia is 1/5. I’m just gonna use my SSA Cynthia, ash and luxray.

Too bad yesterday would have been the best day to do it
