This may not need to be a worry if they were here, like, two weeks ago
#Champion Stadium
keen jasper
But wait
proud axle
The question is... they said they were new
keen jasper
They probably don't have Sycamore's expanded grid
proud axle
So we need to find out how new
rotund lagoon
They probably don't have Sycamore's expanded grid
Exactly.
keen jasper
@storm quest BTW, do you have Sycamore's expanded grid and EX?
storm quest
rotund lagoon
Looks like EX.
keen jasper
They have EX, but what about expanded grid?
proud axle
Excellent!
storm quest
Seemed prudent
keen jasper
proud axle
Ghetsis and Pryce can only get +2 crit on their own without MPR silliness; Sycamore can fix that just by showing up
rotund lagoon
You have his expanded stuff gridded?
storm quest
Sycamore is by far my best support, but I feel like I have to be choosey where I use him
keen jasper
BTW, Sycamore can also lower Shauntal's Sp. Atk. guaranteed with Moonblast and R3 parameter
Assuming you have On a Roll
rotund lagoon
Why would you want On A Roll?
proud axle
Sycamore is by far my best support, but I feel like I have to be choosey where I...
For what it's worth, I'd do this fight on round 4 so you can see whether you actually need him on Round 3 against... who was left, again?
rotund lagoon
Ghetsis has Noble Roar.
keen jasper
Oh yeah
rotund lagoon
If you grid him for Double Drop.
proud axle
Why would you want On A Roll?
Shauntal uses X SpAtk
rotund lagoon
Grid Ghetsis for Double Drop tho
proud axle
Anyway, moot point because Ghetsis and Pryce, spamming group-target attacks, will wipe out the sidekicks... and thereby trigger the round 4 penalty on the boss
storm quest
For what it's worth, I'd do this fight on round 4 so you can see whether you act...
I have Caitlin left, and no good ghost units (at least that I'm convinced of anyway). I used EX Mewtwo on the Hard stage.
proud axle
I have Caitlin left, and no good ghost units (at least that I'm convinced of any...
...Huh? Why can't you just use him again now?
keen jasper
I have Caitlin left, and no good ghost units (at least that I'm convinced of any...
Do you have Fantina?
proud axle
It's not the same playthrough, your sync pairs are refreshed.
rotund lagoon
I have Caitlin left, and no good ghost units (at least that I'm convinced of any...
Hard is different than 10k Master Mode
Your units should reset after doing Hard Mode once.
rotund lagoon
You’re in the wrong screen tho
keen jasper
No Fantina
proud axle
That's... the wrong menu to demonstrate it, but anyway...
storm quest
Err true
rotund lagoon
You know Shauntal herself works too, right?
proud axle
Shauntal's p strong these days, I hear.
rotund lagoon
If she’s gridded?
proud axle
But Gio is there, it's cool
storm quest
She is not
proud axle
Let's look at that Support list again...
keen jasper
All Giovanni needs is a Sp. Atk. buffer like Roxanne
proud axle
Ooh, Cheryl
keen jasper
Or Cheryl
rotund lagoon
Why Cheryl?
proud axle
If she's gridded, Cheryl works great here. Great special bulk against a full-special enemy offense, and she can provide both SpAtk and Speed for Mewtwo
keen jasper
Why Cheryl?
Strong against special damage and also buffs Sp. Atk. and she also heals and buffs defensive stats
storm quest
I did use Cheryl on the Hard stage too with Mewtwo, yeah
proud axle
Not a single phys attack on Caitlyn's team, so we have no need to fear a Blissey Moment
storm quest
Lol
keen jasper
Not a single phys attack on Caitlyn's team, so we have no need to fear a Blissey...
The sides would like to have a word
rotund lagoon
Strong against special damage and also buffs Sp. Atk. and she also heals and buf...
Unless she’s gridded, she cannot max it.
keen jasper
Oh Caitlin, not Shauntal
proud axle
The sides would like to have a word
They won't get one.
keen jasper
tired sleet
So many dark weak stages have only special moves, at this point I believe that Sidney and Cheryl have great synergy cause of how often I use them together
proud axle
Anyway, I'd try Giovanni + Cheryl + (a third) against Caitlyn on Round 3,
and Sycamore + Ghetsis + Pryce on Round 4.
That just leaves the Champion fight
keen jasper
Cyrus should still destroy it even without EX
proud axle
Yeah, probably, but we gotta pick supports and maybe a sidekick first
I'm thinking Leaf/Eevee as the support, though it's a bit of an Oof since she's 1/5
storm quest
Which is the better screen for showing units? Just for.. future reference lol
keen jasper
Which is the better screen for showing units? Just for.. future reference lol
The type
proud axle
There are two particularly good screens for it
keen jasper
Not move type
proud axle
First is the upgrade screen, like you've been using
The other is the Favorite Sync Pair screen of your profile menu
keen jasper
Yeah, the upgrade screen then select the type
proud axle
(Though that one does not include sync pairs of your protag)
proud axle
Hm, does the Favorite Sync Pair menu have more "screen real estate" than the post-update Upgrade menu these days?
proud axle
I figured move type since like Mewtwo wouldn't show with just type, right?
Yeah, I would actually agree with going by move type instead of by sync type for this reason
rotund lagoon
I figured move type since like Mewtwo wouldn't show with just type, right?
The type of each sync pair is categorized by sync move.
proud axle
It's cool, they got the 18type medal already
rotund lagoon
?
proud axle
I like sorting by Sync Move Type, but filtering by it... would miss viable strikers
Such as Gio vs Ghost
proud axle
It'd also miss things like Leon vs Flying, which... could matter this week
rotund lagoon
Why not use Blue?
proud axle
Maybe Blue is 1/5.
I'd really rather know about a 1/5 Leon if the person in question has only 1/5 Blue
No Brutal Clarity is ooooof
rotund lagoon
Bruh I used him for a long time before I learned about Brutal Clarity 
He still wrecks things up
proud axle
Nobody else has to go through what you went through
Leon innately has 50% chance of SEUN every turn, so that's pretty big even if he's just spamming Hurricane
Way easier setup, too
Also Max Airstream can allow him to provide team Speed, relaxing his Support needs
Also Leon can make use of an EX Support way more easily than Blue
storm quest
Thoughts on a third pair for Caitlin that won't be missed for the other battles? Probably most anything will do?
proud axle
Do you have a Psychic Terrain user?
(Bianca&Musharna would be the most likely one)
(Another one exists but is Fair-exclusive and the rerun isn't until later this month, so you probably don't have that one)
storm quest
Not showing in my field effects filter so I'm guessing not. No Musharna
proud axle
Alright, then... maybe a Tech to mess with the enemy.
I'm thinking Viola&Masquerain to ruin their SpAtk and give you better chances of survival
Did you already post your Psychic-move-knowing roster?
storm quest
storm quest
I do love Lucian
rotund lagoon
Let’s not confuse them…
proud axle
Is she available is what I should ask
storm quest
I have her, she isn't EX but probably could be? And she's available, I haven't used her yet
proud axle
Then let's go with Gio + Rosa + Lucian
I'll leave it up to you whether to use Gio's sync for the group-target blast, or Lucian's for the single-target super snipe
...Probably Gio's might be better this time
storm quest
Rosa over Cheryl?
proud axle
You could go either way. Rosa has better stats but Cheryl can heal
Lucian provides the team speed
(And crucially, Lucian provides SpDef debuffs for Gio's damage multiplier grid skills, via Growl)
I guess if Lucian is here, you don't even need Cheryl gridded if you haven't done it yet
storm quest
I've got the MP refresh, pep rally, and wise entry on Cheryl.
What are general options for Iris? I only ask because I had tentative plans to use Lucian there.
I heard talk of Cyrus, presumably Palkia, whom I can grab easily.
proud axle
Yeah, Cyrus/Palkia is a strong contender for the strongest freebie sync pair and possibly even one of the strongest sync pairs in the game as a whole
Looks like the enemy offense is pure phys, huh...
I saw a countermeasure for that, among your roster
storm quest
Yeeeaa... I used Dawn for Grimsley
proud axle
Dawn doesn't even need to be gridded, her innate passives are that goo--
Oh
Okay, back to the drawing board
What other Dragon-move-knowing pairs do you have?
storm quest
I have not, but can
proud axle
I would tentatively suggest Cyrus+Zinnia+Hop(Zamazenta); two of the three can self-buff speed, and Hop can give Zinnia crit. The issue is that I'm not sure they have enough speed to give them enough gauge income, all three members want significant grid investment when I'm not sure how many orbs you can spare, and Zinnia's not at full power if the team lacks a weather source
Maybe it would be better to just use Cyrus and two supports
Or Cyrus and a support and a tech...
This might sound a little weird but do you have the Masked Royal (Incineroar, Dark Tech)
(And if so, is he available)
storm quest
I do not
storm quest
Yes
proud axle
Then Cyrus, Skyla, and either Leaf/Eevee or Sabrina/Alakazam. If it's Leaf, give her the first sync to fix Cyrus' accuracy
storm quest
Used Alakazam on R2 so Leaf it is
proud axle
Great, I think that team should do it
atomic hazel
i got 3.6k points, good enough for a newbie xd
proud axle
Could always shoot for a better score next week as you steadily get stronger
Though I think 1.5k-2.0k on Grimsley is reasonably doable even for a newbie this week. He's a little toxic-stallable
(Lessen Poison 8 instead of 9, which is what bosses usually have)
storm quest
Though I think 1.5k-2.0k on Grimsley is reasonably doable even for a newbie this...
That's how I managed 😆
storm quest
Neither of the Mewtwo event exchanges offer Mewtwo orbs, right? I'm not just blind?
I only see the generic ones. I need to grid him some, I think. He's just getting popped by the first enemy sync
void wyvern
They don’t offer Mewtwo orbs
storm quest
Ah well.
Grided the sync damage tiles and used Cheryl to boost Mewtwo's SpDef enough to live lol. So now back to Shauntal
nocturne pawn
@lethal fox what team are you using for grimsley
lethal fox
I mean on Elite
Otherwise i used them on normal
For elite i made Electrik team with sasachu for 2k
rotund lagoon
I mean on Elite
Otherwise i used them on normal
I’m confused what this means?
CS is the Elite 4, we call it CS.
lethal fox
CS is the Elite 4, we call it CS.
Oh
For me CS is champion Stadium and when i say Elite i mean elite mode
Sorry i´m french
lethal fox
Master Mode you mean?
Yeah
waxen nebula
I thought she should survive longer
Cuz type advantage
But you’re right she is no damage dealer so
waxen nebula
Flying type is effective
rotund lagoon
Just weaknesses set by stages and sync pair weaknesses.
rotund lagoon
I’m confused lol
Just have Skyla tank cause she’s a Support and a good tank.
Blue’s your damage dealer.
And Skyla has Potion.
waxen nebula
Fine
rotund lagoon
I have one issue tho
lethal fox
So if you don´t need this you can replace her for other dps or support who heal
rotund lagoon
Blue wants help with Sp Atk and Crit. So he can get damage out faster.
OH BRUTAL CLARITY IS 2/5 THO
lethal fox
Blue wants help with Sp Atk and Crit. So he can get damage out faster.
Yeah right
So he must place another support which gives these buffs
rotund lagoon
So he wants accuracy help too.
If you have not gridded Blue for Brutal Clarity and have the resources to, you should.
This should work
waxen nebula
Thx 🙏
lethal fox
This should work
Where can i find these grind
rotund lagoon
#1008010844547842079
lethal fox
Oh thx
rotund lagoon
This one of Blue’s is Hurricane Minimal (2/5)
lethal fox
I see
I don´t use blue anymore
The only flying i use is Lugia
He makes all for me
rotund lagoon
I get that. Blue is honestly fun tho
I use SS Ethan a lot myself but I like to switch things up now that we have more team slots
tired sleet
Nothing more fun than a unit that needs sync despite having a weak sync 
rotund lagoon
See what’s more satisfying is seeing that bam output of damage after his sync.
He’s honestly good.

Thats right imao
rotund lagoon
I don’t wanna self advertise or anything, but I have a thread of teams I test mainly free/F2P/underrated units in #1073655215363985498
storm quest
Does Cryrus need Critical Strike 2 to be effective enough? I'm getting close but not quite having enough punch
storm quest
Working with Leaf+Eevee, Cyrus, and Skyla. I used the orbs I had left for the critical focus, as that seemed to be how he gets his crit up.
lethal fox
I don’t wanna self advertise or anything, but I have a thread of teams I test ~~...
I´ll check
storm quest
6 stages of SpAtk, he's EX unlocked, but not EX
rotund lagoon
Ok so nothing like that.
I wonder if you should do a Rain team cause Hydro Pump. Can you grid him?
storm quest
I didn't realize his passive was also Critical Strike, derp. So not that then. Hmm.
I can't grid much else, at least until tomorrow's orbs haha. And Hydro Pump won't get super effective vs Iris
rotund lagoon
I didn't realize his passive was also Critical Strike, derp. So not that then. H...
Oh you can stack CS2 on top of CS9, but save your cookies if you are low.
storm quest
Oh, didn't know, cool
rotund lagoon
Hydro Pump is more BP and has a grid that makes it stronger. Also Rain makes it even stronger.
Hence why I’m wondering about a Hydro Pump team.
storm quest
I see
rotund lagoon
You wanna wait until you can grid him? He does need the grid tbh
You need 7500 
to fully grid him.
storm quest
Looking at the grid again, yeah, I'm thinking that's mostly qhats missing
rotund lagoon
There’s no rush, get the orbs then come back.
storm quest
The Critical focus is good but.. Hm, is the critastrophe worth it? With some sync damage+ tiles?
rotund lagoon
I’ll show you the build to use.
storm quest
Does the progress on the points reset when the week changes over?
rotund lagoon
rotund lagoon
Does the progress on the points reset when the week changes over?
No, it’s a straight up reset.
You have to get the 10k done for this week.
It’s 10k per week to get each weekly rewards.
Help, numbers
storm quest
Ooh, I can get the 10k each week??
rotund lagoon
10k is the max for rewards. You’re doing 2k per stage, right? That adds up to 10k in the end.
storm quest
Yea. I'm at 8k with Iris left to do
rotund lagoon
Yeah I’m doing it as we speak
If you tap “Rewards” you can see what I mean btw
10k is honestly fun and not too hard, I wish more newbies had the courage to do it like you do.
storm quest
I'm enjoying the theory crafting and experimenting and experience of it all. It's also helping to flesh out which units I should focus on and which pair well with each other
storm quest
I do struggle to see how it's possible to win or even defeat the center before the first enemy sync. Feels like I'm constantly grinding hp down and have to win before they get 2nd sync
Need more orbs lol
paper summit
10k is honestly fun and not too hard, I wish more newbies had the courage to do ...
tbf newbies are very short on resources, and experience...
rotund lagoon
The game does tell you to focus on center last, but we think its better to avoid sync
rotund lagoon
Yeah that’s fair
storm quest
I'm about a month in? I started at the last week or two of the Sycamore event. And I hoarded my resources until pretty recently lol
rotund lagoon
10k is really not meant for them that soon
I think its more of the idea of trying and not being afraid to try that intrigues me
paper summit
that's not bad tbh, better to have a bunch banked and putting them on pairs you are actually using as you need it
rather than dumping resources on pairs you might not touch more than once
like people rushing to lvl 140 a handful of pairs instead of 120 many more with the same amount of resources 
storm quest
The xp curve steepens massively after 120 I noticed. And it's worse for legendaries
tame gust
Im looking forward to trying MM next week
proud axle
Isn't there a Poison-weak fight next week? Those're almost always Toxic-stallable
So that's a pretty reliable 1500-2000pts in the bag even for a rookie
Hm. Marshall, huh. This wasn't the one with Sync Cure and/or Impervious, was it...?
Ah, yeah, no, he doesn't have them. Great, toxic stall (with Venom Drench) is safe
tame gust
yeah I think that's the team suggestion you gave me when I asked yesterday. Use Seviper, Ariados, and Vespiquen
rotund lagoon

Yeah Poison weak is next week
Which means time to bust out the Koga team
But I really should test Janine too.

storm quest
Thanks for the help earlier. Gotta tweak my Iris battle a little or wait for a few more orbs but no biggie. Might play with it some more and see if I can manage it still.
On a different note, are the candies the only way to boost the freebie story characters then? I haven't used any yet, was going to dig around to see what's ideal. Is Koga better for toxic stalling than SS Leaf? Or just different?
proud axle
Ball Guy’s event gives 1 4* tech
Ball Guy might have the greatest EX recolor in the game. And I mean "GREATest" very literally since it recolors his Poké Ball head to look like a Great Ball
proud axle

Correct, candies are the only way.
(You probably shouldn't waste 5star candies on Rosa/Cheren/Acerola/Calem)
Koga can be part of a toxic stall, but with 3/5 and a full grid build, he's actually one of the strongest raw Poison-type direct damage sources in the game
storm quest
Wow, as a freebie even.
proud axle
If you bring Koga, you're looking for something more closely resembling a straight fight
storm quest
Gotcha
proud axle
If it doesn't work, you can still just fall back on toxic-stall as Plan B.
primal field
Does lvl120 across all mons work or do they need to be higher if i were to do 10k?
old orchid
Lvl 120 is enough
storm quest
As a new player working on my first 10k, it seems 120 is sufficient, though also with ideal and proper grids so.. sometimes it feels a bit like fishing for lucky procs and perfect enemy move choices

In Pokemon Masters, the battles revolve around using your Sync Move as fast as possible.
Using moves will reduce its cooldown, which is also the case for the opponent!
This is why you always want all your pairs on the field to have moves queue'd.
Have 3 ally moves in between each 1 enemy move, even at the start!
After 9 moves, you can wait to queue your Sync.
See this quick footage for how to Triple Queue :

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

No, mid first, but you can turn deny by taking out the sides

the teamwide endurance from SS Blue's sync can clutch you a win

don't waste your time clicking leon's dire hit+. using his TM twice is okay
but just let SS Blue and CHop handle crit. 1 To the Top from SS Blue and 1 Dire Hit+ All from CHop should be enough

He only has Lessen Poison 8 this week, where most bosses have 9. You can Toxic-stall him if you are having trouble winning in a straight fight.
Watch out, though, he uses Dire Hit after his first sync, so you'll want a tank with Vigilance

yea I might try that, idk
swift swan
Remove amalia or Cyrus from the team?
why do you need to use a monotype team?
that team is extremely gauge heavy and lisia can't support it
use either cyrus or zinnia, not both
if you're using zinnia, she wants a crit buffer and preferably a weather setter
swift swan
oml grimsley is annoying
I hate building around leafeon
leafeon is very good with another striker. do you have brendan?
proud axle
Depending on the Support, Silver/Ho-oh can work well alongside Leafeon too
Doesn't even need Dauntless for this, as he's going to be spamming Solar Beam
If you haven't used Roxanne yet, she might work
old orchid
if you have 2/5 Brendan, he works well with Erika too
tender shore
I have 2/5 Brendan yea
proud axle
Let's see, then you just need gauge and/or sun from the support
tender shore
no idea who tanks though in that case, they need to cover move gauge and durability
ss blue maybe
proud axle
I'd be reluctant to try Lyra here as the support, since IIRC Grimsley's fight is phys-heavy and she's phys-glassy
proud axle
Brendan needs the Dauntless lucky skill, but fortunately there are multiple sources of Lucky Cookies available at the moment
(Battle Villa, Legendary Gauntlet, and even the Blissful Bonanza-- though that last one is ending today)
(Silver also likes the Dauntless lucky skill, but only when you want him to use fire. He doesn't need it for grass)
Hm. Brendan doesn't have Charging Sun in his 2/5 grid...
He "only" has his speed multipliers. Which are nice, but... hm.
So you'd be counting primarily on Leaf Storm's raw BP rather than multipliers
proud axle
Oh, I see a way to make this work
Leafeon, Turtwig, Meganium. Turtwig is the tank.
Grid Meganium for Solarize and give her every sync. SSErika won't need to recast Sunny Day this way, and I think it's a net positive on damage compared to having her sync and recast Sunny Day afterward
proud axle
200 BP Solar Blade is kind of a lot, fwiw
proud axle
The only other meaningful multiplier here is Solar Flare 5, I think... and that's if she syncs. But Solar Blade has the same BP as her sync, so...
Was this a 2k clear?
old orchid
keep in mind that her sync has innate multiplier
tender shore
her sync gets buffed in sunlight by default
proud axle
Her sync becomes 400BP in sunlight vs Solar Blade becoming 300BP in sunlight
(Charging Sun 5 doesn't work on syncs, it's the aforementioned Solar Flare 5 that does)
The problem is that spending a turn on Sunny Day for Solar Flare 5 to bring her sync from 400BP to 600BP (200BP gain)
...is worse than just spending that extra turn on another Solar Blade for a 300BP gain
tender shore
oh you're right
idk I'll try the turtwig team later after evolving to torelterra
proud axle
Anyway yeah those are the two plans I see.
Plan A: as above. SSErika casts Sunny Day on the first sync cycle so she and Meganium have stronger buffs. Then Meganium gets every sync so that Leafeon can skip Sunny Day on subsequent cycles.
Plan B: Leafeon, Ho-oh, and Probopass. This is similar but your tank is glassier and your offense is much stronger (let Ho-oh sync for more sun, and then you have Solar Blade and Solar Beam to smite Grimsley)
tender shore
probopass to give silver sp atk I assume?
and speed/def
proud axle
Yes exactly
Her bulk isn't great, but her buffset is excellent for a lot of attackers
So this plan would basically be a bit of a glass-cannon teambuild
You can shore up her survivability by gridding her for Endure. Sometimes the one extra hit is all you need
But I don't know if you have spare orbs for it, and gridding Meganium (or Ho-oh) is much more important
tender shore
my orbs are basically full iirc
proud axle
Cool, then go wild
woeful wave
@proud axle can help for mine as well 😂
woeful wave
Well, try to 10k.
proud axle
Rosa is only there for her bulk, and we don't actually want her to sync because Lyra's the one with Solarize...
So okay
Could do the same as the other person and swap Rosa for Roxanne and Lyra for Silver, but-- as mentioned-- that team is a little glassy so it's a little risky
This means adding Rock to your type medal so you don't need Olivia against Shauntal
Could swap her out for Pryce, he works very well alongside Ghetsis. Ghetsis wants more Speed Down stacks on the enemy!
Cait's team is silly but once you have the medal finished, you can add some actual supports for Marnie
Speed and tanking.
woeful wave
Move skyla down?
woeful wave
Well cmarnie do have speed 4 on her own
proud axle
Could swap Candice out for Viola or something, to ruin the enemy's SpAtk. Leaf can stay, or you can try some shenanigans with Cheryl gridded for Pep Rally
...hell, you could swap Candice out for Viola now since Ice is already present (Ghetsis and Pryce)
And Viola has X Speed
rotund lagoon
~~Dude I think they’ll be indecisive after reading that ~~
proud axle
Hm? I don't... see where the conflict lies?
We're talking about a Hard clear to unlock MM and the 10k MM clear after it
Two separate runs with party adjustments between
proud axle
That team can beat Marshall on Hard but I have no idea how well it will fare in Master. He's a big threat and this game is weird about Flying strikers being gimmicky
Thinking...
I think I see an alternative. Gimme a bit more time...
woeful wave
I could put cbede there. Could be more smooth
proud axle
Giovanni Lucian Dawn vs Marshall. Offtype it.
Wait shit, SpAtk
Rethinking
Neo Bede might be a good choice after all
Thinking a little more just in case...
Oh. DUH! Rosa!
woeful wave
Rosa?
proud axle
She can give EX Support on her first sync. By the time you're ready for the second, the enemy's SpDef will be obliterated from Lucian's growling, so you can drop a thermonuclear Giovanni EX sync on the entire enemy party
And she gives Gio his SpAtk while Lucian gives him Speed
I think this can work.
If you have Neo Bede, I might suggest trying him with Ghetsis and Pryce. If you time his B move well, you can limit the gauge drain per turn
Sycamore works fine there though
woeful wave
Well 1 of them can be with Iris fight
proud axle
You could try something silly for Iris. Lemme look...
Ahahahaha oh my god you could run Cyrus/NeoBede/Lance against Iris
woeful wave
Ah cause neobede do solve the Guage problem
woeful wave
O think it time to EX some units XD
proud axle
Was Pinpoint Entry available on the Deluxe Lucky Cookies? Maybe it might be helpful to have that on Lance...
But then, when he has so few multipliers innately/gridded, Critstrike 2 is a bigger deal for him. Hm.
Well, either way.
woeful wave
Crit strike 2 in normal cookie so can try get from there
proud axle
Yeah, maybe just default to that because it's easier anyway
I gotta go to lunch. I'll be back later, maybe. Good luck. (And double-check you have all 18 types before you start Hard!)

Would anyone be able to help guide me through the hard mode?

do you know the basic of teambuilding?
bitter grotto
Nope
Well sorta
Just not for multiple teams
I take like 3 hours to make a team because I get caught up in reading every character
I have a few teams that I use for everything-- a Kanto Team and the 3 Galarian Birds
Do I need to use a different type for everything?
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

bitter grotto
Yes
I tried picking my own team a while ago and someone called me stupid because I apparently did badly >_>
old orchid
okay so choose an Elite Four stage and pick a damage dealer
bitter grotto
Does the damage dealer need to be super effective?
old orchid
preferly yes, but if that dmg dealer is underwhelming even ontype, use * a strong offtype dmg dealer instead

Dauntless is in

Is 120 high enough?
old orchid
yes
bitter grotto
I have to evolve Treeko real quick
Does type matter for assists?
Actually I should try and do many different types for the badge, right?
old orchid
support type doesnt matter
and yeah, you should aim to fill many types as soon as possible
note that you can only fill 15 types as the most in the first week
bitter grotto
Oh it saves to the next week?
old orchid
it saves forever

you can try sonia
she has speed up when taking hit
most suggestion here is to pair brendan with ss erika and sonia
plus sunny is good for brendan too
or other option you can run toxic stall on grimsley
I use toxic stall featuring SSleaf, dawn, and another poison damager
the flex can be janine ariados with venom drencher to debuff enemy
also you should do legendary adventures, you are missing out on sycamore and other useful legendaries

tame gust
@proud axle Hey, I was just wondering for the toxic stall comp you recommend me for next week (Ariados, Seviper, Vespiquen) what grid sets would I be using? Looking up Lucy's at the moment. Only character that's not 3/5+ is Aaron, who's at 2/5. I'm guessing Lucy's either Off-Tank grid or is she Sync Nuke?
proud axle
Just give her Hostile Environment and leave the rest blank tbh
Maybe Pokey Trap alongside it, but Hostile Environment is the primary one
If you have Approximately Infinity Orbs, you can splurge on something like this
tame gust
a bit low on orbs but if I have some orbs left over after grid preps I'll move to it.
and both Janine and Aaron can go gridless for the moment?
tame gust
so long as Aaron doesn't get orbital struck things should play out well. Thanks and sorry for the ping.
full mesa
Ahhh, Dots. No matter the game or the era, dot damage will always be there to help the beginners.
tame gust
I just don't have any good poison types, so when you lack good poison ya decide to say "eff it" and toxic stall. (Plus I kinda like the fact that I have a decent use for Lucy.) Now imagine if she could get Going Viral 9
void wyvern
For Poison weak we have improved options in Roxie and Lucy being paired with Hilbert. Even if toxic stall is an option for unova cs it isn’t so absolute anymore.
paper summit
Koga erasure, smh
tbf since the guy is from story a new player needs 4* tech candies for his grid
so I can understand Roxie and Lucy being the more accessible options, and they are good so 
also the game heavily favoring physical supports 
proud axle
How many freebie and low-rarity supports have both Atk and either Crit or Speed? I feel like there were weirdly few before the grid updates
Like, there's Skyla but she needs candies too
full mesa
Don't we have more physical strikers too or did they fix that after the 3rd Anni?
proud axle
Well, we were just talking about Koga so he's Special instead of Phys
Does Brendan count as one?
...Does Silver count as one?
full mesa
Silver depends on your lucky skill I guess. Dauntless -> Yes. CS2 or WW3 -> Not really unless you have a stable spa buffer.
Still can't answer for Brendan. He's still at 2/5.
proud axle
Brendan's main attack is Special (Leaf Storm) but his sync nuke is phys
tired sleet
The game considers brendan to be a physical strike
proud axle
Yeah, it categorizes them by sync move
full mesa
Because of the sync move but doesn't that change when we get his grid into account? Isn't his Leaf Storm more powerful that his sync after grid?
proud axle
But I'm not sure how many of us would really call him a phys attacker
Since, yeah, Leaf Storm is swole and he can do it three times per sync cycle vs one sync
paper summit
mixed attacker is a concept too...
and for Brendan it isn't a problem since his TM buffs both stats
proud axle
Don't we have more physical strikers too or did they fix that after the 3rd Anni...
This is the question prompting the thought
rigid flint
Don't we have more physical strikers too or did they fix that after the 3rd Anni...
Out of all the strikers that have grids I've counted around 55 or so physical strikers
Well ones that are classified as physical due to their sync
So it includes both Lance alts, CBlue, Brendan, Wally, Silver etc
proud axle
With Sentry/Wise ×2 becoming more common these days, it might be a problem to have a "phys" striker whose main attack is special. Wouldn't wanna bring Lance or Brendan to a Wise ×2 fight. 
Though Hyper Beam is nutty enough that Lance might still win like that
old orchid
tired sleet
~~Though Hyper Beam _is_ nutty enough that Lance might still win like that~~
And he has his haymaker nuke with 6 sync tiles
full mesa
Same with Leaf Storm. Also I prefer to run Dawn/Lyra/Brendan and have Lyra sync for the sun than Brendan.
void wyvern
And he has his haymaker nuke with 6 sync tiles
~~you can only get 5 of those 6 tiles with haymaker 
~~

Ex Sabrina or Elesa better?
old orchid
Both will work so choose who fits your style more
drifting steppe
@bleak dune so Round 2 is physical damage reduction.
drifting steppe
You will need a unit that can reduce physical or lower physical attack on their side.
No Sabrina.
Is this Master Mode or Base Stadium (without points)?
trail smelt

bleak dune
oh
if i would need unit that can reduce/lower physical attack, what would i select in the known moves filter?
trail smelt
Defense buffs and attack debuffs
bleak dune
ty
do i need to add Sp or no?
i dont have anyone that can buff def and debuff attacks in someones move set
there are some that can buff def and some that can debuff attack
grand steppe
Why are you trying to lower ATK?
bleak dune
because of the unova challenge?
oh nvm
wait
for round 2 it wants me to reduce the physical damage to opponents
grand steppe
In champion stadium “rounds” have special parameters. These effects trigger during the battle.
Round 2, in this case says both Allies and enemies start the battle with a physical damage reduction barrier.
This is equivalent to having a Pokémon use Reflect at the start of the battle.
bleak dune
oh
grand steppe
It only lasts for the first 3 turns (until your 1st sync move)
You can leverage this special parameter by battling one of the Elite 4 who primarily deal physical damage.
Such as Grinsley & Marshal.
bleak dune
i just forgot that i pulled sabrina from the ticket scout-
so should i use reflect first thing in-battle?
grand steppe
The round parameter is providing it for you.
bleak dune
oh
grand steppe
Both you and your opponent get a temporary reflect at the start of the encounter.
bleak dune
ic
grand steppe
Bringing Sabrina vs Marshal is still a good idea, at least for providing reflect after the special round one fades.
bleak dune
currently i was using misty, cmarnie, and skyla, who should I swap out for sabrina?
grand steppe
Blue & Pidegeot is a free 5-star flying type, that can utilize Sabrina’s special buffs.
bleak dune
should i use them two for battle?
grand steppe
You want to save your supports. You can only use each sync pair once through all 5 battles.
Misty is a special defense buffer, so you should save her for Shauntal or Caitlin
grand steppe
Marnie is your ace, so you should probably save her for a type that your going to struggle with
You can setup 5 teams before you begin and ask if they’re good.
bleak dune
oh
bleak dune
i can't use the same pair more than once right?
drifting steppe
You hit it, and it will lead you to a screen of your presaved teams.
bleak dune
oh
drifting steppe
Yup, thats why its nice to build preset teams so its easy to switch while running through cs
bleak dune
so um
bad thong is
thing*
that i used my supports and cmarnie for grimsley...
yea i didn't think about that
grand steppe
Well, for the others you can use:
Blue & Pidgeot for Marshal
Ghetsis & Kyurem for Shauntal
Giovanni & Metwo for Caitlin
Zinnia & Rayquaza for Iris
Cyrus is also can be used, as Hydro Pump is strong in Rain.

You can put Ghetsus on that team and use blue in place of darach and you would have your final types
grave wyvern
Is this your first attempt at Unova? What other types do you need to use to unlock MM?
grave wyvern
as Rich said, it might be better to use Blue/Pidgeot instead of Darach as he will benefit from Sabrina's boosts (she's a special support, Darach is physical)

bleak dune
oh
bleak dune
what team did you use for your first round?
i used skyla, misty and cmarnie
grave wyvern
gotcha
bleak dune
3 and 4 stars only?
grave wyvern
so now we want to avoid using any Flying, Water or Dark types if we can
grave wyvern
yep, the first battle of this CS
drifting steppe
yup. The first Elite 4 member you cleared
bleak dune
victory road?
grave wyvern
gotcha
What I recommend doing is looking at the members you have left, and identifying who will be your damage dealer (aka the main unit working to defeat them)
so you'll want a Ghost type, an Ice type, a Dragon type and a Flying type
(it's okay, we can double-up on Flying this week)
bleak dune
for dragon i have zinnia, ghost i have phoebe and morty?
grave wyvern
Morty would be the best choice, and Zinnia works for Dragon
Ghetsis will cover Ice
do you have Cyrus, though? he's stronger than Zinnia
grave wyvern
have you done his Legendary event?
drifting steppe
We don't have water weak. We could use Cyrus here and save Zinnia for Dragon-Weak Iris.
bleak dune
huh
drifting steppe
Cyrus can offtype fine.
grave wyvern
Cyrus is Dragon
