Champion Stadium

[dark osprey]

but flint is like just before sync only I think

[grizzled cipher]

I'm a player who is about 3 weeks into the game, and Master Mode seems really overwhelming if I want the max bonuses. How should I go about approaching it? i guess its not likely that I can 12.5k total it. tried my ice team on bertha with a 2.5k run and got destroyed quick.

[toxic cobalt]

Hi Ryuseii!

[grizzled cipher]

Heya.

[toxic cobalt]

Sinnoh is an unusually hard master mode

You might have to change your teams up! Often they have gimmicks that make some units less helpful

Bertha for example you have to get rid of her sand

[grizzled cipher]

Yeah, I did that with irida's hail but was still getting destroyed, maybe I set the attack bonuses way too high, thought I could clear them out with haze or something

[toxic cobalt]

Generally we recommend high attack!

The main thing is making sure you can triple queue

And that you don’t miss your syncs

[grizzled cipher]

I think I know why, I did the level increase attack power, thinking it was the stat up increase , like they could be hazed away as well

but I doubt thats the case

[nocturne pawn]

is it ground weak aaron again

next week

[sand karma]

Fire

[nocturne pawn]

does it have clear power up 5 like drapion then?

[sand karma]

No

[grizzled cipher]

also do I have to hunt for those 18 pieces ever again or are we good? Because I hated that.

[nocturne pawn]

you have to do it for every new cs

[grizzled cipher]

every week?

[nocturne pawn]

but once you do it mm is permanently unlocked for that region

[nocturne pawn]

oh god no that’d be awful

[grizzled cipher]

oh okay, not as bad then

[toxic cobalt]

It’s all level up attack increase !

[grizzled cipher]

Theres some that mention boosts my percents and then ones by levels, I assumed the percent ones can be cleared by haze.

[nocturne pawn]

no thats direct stat increase

[grizzled cipher]

or maybe its the stat rank ones

Ohhhhhh of course it wouldn't be that easy

[nocturne pawn]

5 stats up can be removed by hze

attack up 5

is 50% more atk and special atk

[grizzled cipher]

so those can't be cleared by haze

[toxic cobalt]

Have you watched any videos of other clears?

[grizzled cipher]

nope. Since I don't have most of the units everyone is using, and even for the f2p clears my units aren't that geared up

[nocturne pawn]

you just need 4.2k points

[toxic cobalt]

It can be helpful just to get an idea of the move orders

[nocturne pawn]

for the important stuff

aka 850 points each fight

[grizzled cipher]

Hmm noted. just me wanting to get the best stuff I can. but the coins are definitely priority one

not gonna be living with an adaman at 1 or tapu bulu at 1 forever, thats for sure

[toxic cobalt]

Looks like Iridia doesn’t need too much help, maybe a hail setter?

[grizzled cipher]

I think I set the stats way too high. Guess I need to figure out the optimal point strats

[toxic cobalt]

No such thing as too high really, as I said. It’s about building the right team and triple queueing

[nocturne pawn]

the pins have example parameters for 850 iirc

[toxic cobalt]

They do, 850 is pretty easy

[nocturne pawn]

too high is when psychic takes 95% hp from your tank against lucian

[toxic cobalt]

Where did you find that5%

[nocturne pawn]

it was closer to like 2% really

shit did like 750 against sonia which was terrifying

[grizzled cipher]

I really need to just fill out their sync grids too, I think I could get somewhere with Ghetsis/Kyurem, Irida and someone else, but Im really hurting in the sync gem department as a new player, maxing out solgaleo and silver's ho-oh drained me.

[toxic cobalt]

You want hail, Ghetsis doesn’t give hail

You could run say Candice Irida and Dawn?

[tired sleet]

(Irida has hail tho)

[grizzled cipher]

Don't have dawn nor BP candice.

Have regular candice.

[nocturne pawn]

base is better anyway

hail mpr

ig you’re just dpsing her to death

and not worrying much about sync damage

[toxic cobalt]

I feel you want a second one if you try to get the gradual healing

And just back up in general as you want it up during syncs

[grizzled cipher]

no ice type supports really hurts me atm too haha.

[nocturne pawn]

well the only ice type support is glacia iirc

[toxic cobalt]

You don’t need matching supports, just use Dawn

[nocturne pawn]

and pal bea

[grizzled cipher]

Don't have dawn

[toxic cobalt]

Hmmm

[nocturne pawn]

skyla?

basically the same thing right

[toxic cobalt]

Seems a waste but yeah

[nocturne pawn]

or is she already used

[grizzled cipher]

I do have her, 125. Don't think she's synced though

[toxic cobalt]

Well, try that team

[grizzled cipher]

gonna level her to 130 just for extra survivability too. Gonna feel like a joke if I can get to Battle villa's end without a death or a full recovery but I can't get anywhere with this.

[nocturne pawn]

well cs mm is pretty intimidating

when i started out i dove straight into 2k and got clapped near instantly

then i didnt touch it for half a year

[grizzled cipher]

I can see why.

im just stubborn and will probably keep bashing my head against it, but for now it may be wise to just set limits to see if I can achieve them atleast for bonuses that will help in the future. I'll try starting with 850 per round. or maybe higher

[toxic cobalt]

850 is a good start

You can reset at the end and try higher if you want

[grizzled cipher]

ooh I didn't realize that

[tired sleet]

Here’s a summary of 850 pts and why it’s a small difficulty increase

[grizzled cipher]

in the guide in the pin, what is the difference between pre-sync and post sync? LIke what defines that kind of team

like On-type pre-sync and post-sync

[tribal agate]

pre-sync is killing the middle opponent before they sync even once

post sync is the opposite

[grizzled cipher]

ahhhh, okay

[tribal agate]

post sync usually involves more relaxed teams and playstyles that can tank the sync and play the long game

[grizzled cipher]

i should probably be looking at post sync then

[vast dome]

I dug myself into a hole

I already used up my main Ice striker

aka Ghetsis

And I'm facing Bertha next

[toxic cobalt]

Have you tried either Candice?

[vast dome]

Using both

[toxic cobalt]

Could work with a good support

[vast dome]

Like SS Blue?

[old orchid]

He is good yeah

[vast dome]

Saving him for Cynthia

I have 0 good physical Fairy type strikers

[old orchid]

You can use Mina

[grizzled cipher]

well beat 1650 on bertha, so maybe I'll see if I can manage that with my other squads, but I don't have type effectiveness for everyone so that may have just been a fluke

[toxic cobalt]

Well, that’s higher than 850!

[vast dome]

Why do all the good fairy strikers have to be play to win easier

[grizzled cipher]

yeah, thats almost 2 850s and thats a lot

😛

[vast dome]

Maybe I can use Sycamore but I was absent during his EX time

[toxic cobalt]

Try water, it’s super easy with Cyrus

[toxic cobalt]

Cynthia has Wise Entry, physical is better

[grizzled cipher]

cyrus is one of my best DPS so I can likely handle that

well got 1650 again with May/Cyrus and SS Blue on flint, doubt I could do the type bonus thing with Aaron though since I only have 3 ground types

[vast dome]

This isn't working out

[nocturne pawn]

off type him

[vast dome]

Let's see how I can work around this Ghetsis-less handicap

[nocturne pawn]

also remember to take gradual healing on Aaron as he has acute senses 4

[grizzled cipher]

oh its rock, not ground.

wait it is ground, why do they look the same

[nocturne pawn]

they dont

[vast dome]

Maybe I could try off-typing tem

[grizzled cipher]

mhmm, now how to off type this clown.. I want to save my grass squad for Cynthia, maybe sun with a mix of rayquaza

[toxic cobalt]

There is always poison

[vast dome]

Oh yeah can I off-type Bertha

Or should it be near impossible

[grizzled cipher]

gotta look into my poisons as well.

[vast dome]

I have a team ready for that

[grizzled cipher]

like my prominent poison setter atm is likely koga or plumeria

[nocturne pawn]

no lucy?

[grizzled cipher]

could use bertha on aaron though, somehow I have 3/5 out of her

[nocturne pawn]

or bp erika

[grizzled cipher]

oh right lucy

[nocturne pawn]

bertha should work on aaron

he just has a lot of hp

[grizzled cipher]

I plan to sync grid her up soon too, just don't have the expenses atm

since out of any non free unit, I have the most copies of her.

[vast dome]

poison at 1800 might not work vs bertha

because of darude

[grizzled cipher]

maybe a weather changer?

[nocturne pawn]

do you not have hala

[vast dome]

I'm doing Bertha as Round 3

[nocturne pawn]

im asking do you have hala

[vast dome]

yes

[keen jasper]

Would Ghetsis be better to take advantage of the parameter?

[vast dome]

Used him already

As a debuffer

[keen jasper]

Welp

[nocturne pawn]

well they already used him

thats why im asking

otherwise you can off type her

because her bulk is average for cs

unlike the certain other 2

[vast dome]

I have two uber-strong teams: one is Kantrio

I don't have another one

[nocturne pawn]

i mean kantrio doesnt even have good synergy

no sun no reliable attack buff for ss red

like you’d be better off just using a sun setter and a mixed support like falkner

[vast dome]

Fairy requires physical

[old orchid]

Mina exists

[nocturne pawn]

it doesnt

[vast dome]

My only viable Fairy pair

Maybe I could use my own Sandstorm team

[nocturne pawn]

you’d probably just die

surging sand 5 isnt a joke

[old orchid]

Either use Mina or do offtype with physical dmg dealers

[vast dome]

Cynthia uses sandstorm

Ffuck

[old orchid]

Which Cynthia stage

[vast dome]

Round 5

[old orchid]

This week she doesnt set up sandstorm

Just double spdef stat and raises evasion

[vast dome]

I could use my sandstorm team vs Cynthia

[old orchid]

What is your sand team?

[vast dome]

Kukui, Olivia EX, Acerola

My other one is Cynthia EX and Ingo

Third pair yet to be determined

[old orchid]

Use Ingo and Cynthia team then

What move level is your Cynthia

[vast dome]

3/5 at least

[old orchid]

And do you have Courtney for Ground zone?

[vast dome]

no

[old orchid]

Use another dmg dealer as the third or a defense debuffer then

[vast dome]

ok

Perseverence was never my strong suit

So I'll forfeit my 1800 points challenge and BS my way back to the beginning

[keen jasper]

Welp, 3.9k Aaron down

[vast dome]

Replaced Ghetsis with N in white alt

That frees up Harmonia Sr

[vast dome]

Ghetsis made the Bertha battle significantly easier, so yeah, I fucked up the first time

[keen jasper]

Damn, Bertha is tough to 3.9k

Well, all of the stages next week seem very easy to 3.9k

[versed meteor]

imagine struggling with 2.5k to see people talking about how to 4k em

[nocturne pawn]

have fun with 4k lucian

[keen jasper]

If I had SC Ingo 4k Lucian might not actually be tough

[formal vigil]

no sc steven?

[keen jasper]

No, but he's my goal

[vast dome]

I am done with 9000 points

I'll see you Monday

[shrewd oyster]

Okay how do I ask for help in here. is posting my barracks good enough? I really don't know
For the record I've tried everything. Stalling, pre-sync, post sync, off-type
All my good strikers are special and he sponges hits thanks to his gradual healing
First pic is all my units second is all my built/good ones
Tell me what param set to use and what team because let me tell you I've tried everything that I can think of personally

Oh I should specify I'm on round 2

[keen jasper]

Who have you done?

[shrewd oyster]

Ch!Marnie cheese, that didn't work
Poison stalling (venom drench one time, then BP Erika on another attempt)
Post sync with Lusamine and Alder on different tries
Pre sync with alder at first but obviously that didn't work

I've also tried tank friendly with Guzma

He's not EX so I think I'm kinda screwed here

I also tried using bugsy (beedril) but he's only 4*

[keen jasper]

Who are you attempting right now?

[shrewd oyster]

Idfk
I got sort of far
She's one of my few physical EXs that doesn't rely on super effective damage to get extra effects

I might swap in morty

That actually went worse

[merry cedar]

Bugsy + Noland worked just fine for me, both 4*

[shrewd oyster]

For 2.5k? What support?

[merry cedar]

With some atk + crit buffer, just used Hop

[keen jasper]

You best physical supporter

[merry cedar]

And yeah 2.5k

[keen jasper]

Whether it be Aaron or Hop

[shrewd oyster]

Huh okay

[keen jasper]

I was able to get a F2P clear using Sycamore, Noland and Hop against Lucian

But holy damn, post sync Lucian hit Sycamore for 926 damage with his Psychic even if Sycamore had +6 Sp. Def.

At least with the parameters I'm using

[shrewd oyster]

Yeah like I don't know after the second sync or so he exclusively uses Psychic and if that doesn't kill me his third sync does

[merry cedar]

You can presync by denying left with the 1st Bugsy sync, shouldn't have to tank more than 1 psychic that way

[versed meteor]

Oh look mid gone oh side used swift and got a crit while having -6 special attack well i guess just another fucking day of sinnoh CS

[plush tangle]

https://youtu.be/3EqI351q4hQ?t=883

[shrewd oyster]

Holy shit

[zealous karma]

lol

[plush tangle]

"sinnoh is hard !!!!" no it's not you just underestimate your units

if i had a 2nd phone i'd do weekly CS videos with my beginner account, but aurochs already does it anyway

[versed meteor]

Ez? meanwhile flinch hit every time astonish was used

[zealous karma]

its a 60% chance to flinch and I think we had the aggravation param

[nocturne pawn]

if you dont want to invest in that volkner has a 50% flinch and paralysis rate

[zealous karma]

or you can use ramos who has a 100% sleep chance

also 50% is worse than 60 A

[nocturne pawn]

yeah but its an option

[zealous karma]

rhis is barely an investment a

[compact yoke]

Are these parameters alright for this

I’m doing damage, but then I die when they get first sync

Or what could better parameters be

[toxic cobalt]

why are you giving them attack defence strength and HP? What are you trying to do here?

[sick inlet]

Mission impossible

[compact yoke]

Bruh idk that’s why I’m here asking lmao

[zealous karma]

That feels like way more than 2.5K params as well

[sick inlet]

What are you facing trouble with the most? Are you trying to Pre or post sync?

[zealous karma]

I think their params are giving them the most trouble as theya re not very good

cause thar stage should otherwise be free for those units

[plush tangle]

What if I told you I use pretty similar parameters

[sick inlet]

Technically speaking, atk and def1↑ is not that big of a deal for this team in particular but many HPs up

Makes it harder to kill

Easier to die

[compact yoke]

I just die at first sync

[sick inlet]

Noice let's change these things then

[compact yoke]

Should I just copy off this?

Off type pre or post sync either

[toxic cobalt]

they're a good start, suggest trying pre-sync

[sick inlet]

I usually like to say post-sync, to give room for error

But Pre-sync should be more than doable with that team

[compact yoke]

The snarl like 2 taps my guys besides bulu😕

[old orchid]

did you choose tech receive x3 damage param?

you dont copy the exact param, you have to adjust it to fit your team

[compact yoke]

Yeah tech and sync damage are on

Should I replace them with strength 1

[old orchid]

replace tech ofc, because you are using 2 tech

what is sync damage?

you mean sync buff?

[compact yoke]

Oh yeah I am

Idk why I said sync, I meant strike

[old orchid]

using SS Lyra means no picking interference immunity param, remember to take that off too

replace them with strength 1

[sick inlet]

He didn't pick ss lyra?

Am i seeing things

[compact yoke]

Yeah no I could use SS Lyra but in the pic it’s deciduye

[old orchid]

hmm i thought you were still using SS Lyra

[compact yoke]

I could be

[sick inlet]

Oh if Lyra then replace no interference with no condition instead

[compact yoke]

If that’s better

[old orchid]

Lyra is better

[compact yoke]

Aight

[sick inlet]

SSLyra 100 percent better

[compact yoke]

And take off tech sync

?

[sick inlet]

Yes

[compact yoke]

Tech damage**

[tired sleet]

If you do the flinch chain right, lyra will never get hit

[sick inlet]

I mean they can brute it without chain flinch too

[compact yoke]

Just did it, appreciate help with parameters and more

[sick inlet]

[grizzled cipher]

Got 8k total for my first master stadium, I think I'm pretty content with that, I do feel like I could probably get a little higher but ahh I'm good, I want to build up a lot more units first.

[toxic cobalt]

That's really good for a first CSMM, especially Sinnoh!

[grizzled cipher]

Yup I think so, with the loadouts the setups recommended I was able to beat them pretty quickly, at the risk of being killed quick in return.

I do need to flesh out a poison stall setup at some point though, since it didn't work out the way I wanted on Aaron

Lucy, Janine and Bertha just couldn't survive long enough

[toxic cobalt]

Replace Bertha with a more healy tank and you will be good there

[keen jasper]

Mainly a Synchro Healing tank

Like SwimMisty

[north crown]

sycamore and jasmine work for phys and spec def respectively

[grizzled cipher]

yeah I was thinking like sandstorm/poison stall, didn't work as planned so just busted through with duo ho-oh and solgaleo

[north crown]

you do realize that sandstorm is

1. temporary
2. hurts your own team

the sand tanks aren't even that great either

you're just stabbing yourself in the back by not using any better tank

[keen jasper]

The chip damage isn't worth it

[zealous karma]

wow silver is complicated to use optimally

[swift swan]

richu did you candy him immediately or is he still at 1/5

[north crown]

nita, silver, blaine

[zealous karma]

still 1/5

[swift swan]

ss silver i reckon

[swift swan]

oh i see

[zealous karma]

I am so behind on tech favs

but he is seemingly next

[north crown]

ah sssilver

yeah I don't really know how to build for him

[swift swan]

i'm at 3 tech candies and 1 omni

but i need to wait for datamine first

[north crown]

me at 6 tech candies:

[paper summit]

hand them over

[dark osprey]

Guess the ice types don't get anything straightforward

Maybe even SSN at lower move levels may be a bit more straightforward

[rose ermine]

Are my team's good for next weak

[keen jasper]

IIRC, dark-weak Lucian has Wise Entry

[rose ermine]

Well uh

Would it matter when Cyrus is spamming perma sleep

[old orchid]

Grass weak: Selene has no restrain
Rock weak: replace Ingo with someone else, maybe another dmg dealer?
Dragon weak: might face gauge issue

[rose ermine]

Dragon weak has dawn to cover gauge issue

[old orchid]

with only charge gauge after sync...

and FMN after reaching low hp

[rose ermine]

MGA

[old orchid]

not too reliable

hence i said "might"

[rose ermine]

Ah

Well it's a 5 gauge cycle

Brendan doesn't cost gauge

For grass weak i feel like Lyra is better than someone like allister for Selene

Cuz grassy terrain gives same power boost as restrain would

+free flinch and supplementary dps

Is non ex olivia a good DMG dealer with cblue

[trail smelt]

Selene already comes with restrain doesn’t she?

[formal vigil]

Not as a rowlet

[trail smelt]

Ahh ok I see the problem now

[swift swan]

gauge issue

[rose ermine]

Sskris mga?

And combo freebie

[formal vigil]

if you use cblue and olivia with ingo guage should be fine

[versed meteor]

Cynthia isn't fucking fainting

Even fucking poison stall

[toxic cobalt]

What's she doing instead?

[versed meteor]

[bright furnace]

[trail smelt]

[old orchid]

Which params did you use

[versed meteor]

Yes fuck you too Cynthia

[sand karma]

Wise entry

[formal vigil]

you can use double edege

plus blue has a physical sync

[sand karma]

True but using double edge just doesn't feel right haha I forgot it exists
I'd rather use a defense dropper

[old orchid]

Ingo can carry 2 dmg dealers' gauge so Wynaut lol

[sand karma]

Desperately waiting for his rerun

Olivia SSDiantha team will not be complete without him

[swift swan]

you've got ss diantha? then why even bother running olivia and cblue together

[sand karma]

Sorry I think it was frozen rockets team we're discussing

[keen jasper]

What about Courtney + Ingo + Ground Damage Dealer?

[formal vigil]

talking about rock team

[keen jasper]

Yeah, but just saying only

[sand karma]

I prefer Bertha, Courtney, Cynthia for the theme

But yeah Ingo makes both rock and ground ideal team support

[formal vigil]

what theme?

[sand karma]

Sinnoh mommies

[formal vigil]

courtney though

[old orchid]

Pull Ingo to support Zinnia

[swift swan]

oh right mb

reading moment

[old orchid]

insert the secret reading command

[swift swan]

not so secret anymore it seems

[old orchid]

Now its not secret anymore

[keen jasper]

Imagine keeping secrets

[keen jasper]

Is anyone trying 20k pts. next week?

[swift swan]

4k per stage on Sinnoh sounds like a death sentence but considering the weaknesses? Who knows, I might try if I'm crazy enough

Flint will be quite annoying though

[keen jasper]

You have SS Diantha?

[swift swan]

Nope

[keen jasper]

My 3.9k teams on Monday

[compact yoke]

I heard once that Silver and SS Morty don’t actually go together great besides the sun setting of course. Is this true?

[old orchid]

Not at all

SS Morty also raises speed for Silver

At 3/5 he can help boosted Silver fully raises all his offensive and speed stats

[sick inlet]

SS Morty and Silver Together might be a little bit too good :d

[swift swan]

unkillable in LG too

[old orchid]

Brute forcing with them in almost every LA is great

[fringe valve]

Would you be able to record your silver morty clear?

Wanna see that

3.9k seems really hard for that team

[keen jasper]

Actually, I think I'll replace Silver for Mayziken

[gritty nymph]

I need help bertha is breaking me in half and most of my off type teams and im close to giving up the 2.5k goal this is with round 2

saving neo marnie for cynthia but none of my general teams are working at all

[zealous karma]

you can try sshau + ghetsus

and a special atk support

[gritty nymph]

Who tanks in that scenario?

Won’t they die really fast even with ghetsis

[zealous karma]

The support

[gritty nymph]

No spa att support I have raise easy def and spa and ss brendan bless him for trying dies really fast

One eq kills hau and support

Bertha just murks all my spa supports

Also ghetsis doesn’t kill fast enough cause it takes a couple of rounds to set him up

[zealous karma]

sycasnore?

[gritty nymph]

Oh tried that too

[mellow linden]

Ghetsis + Candice + Sabrina could work

[zealous karma]

I didnt see them with sabrina

[gritty nymph]

Bp candice or normal candice?

[rigid flint]

Woudn't Sabrina die extremely early on

[zealous karma]

use noble roar andf reflect

[mellow linden]

Possibly? I’m currently doing a mixture of general recommendations and spitballing

[mellow linden]

Regular

[gritty nymph]

Sabrina has 160 base def

[rigid flint]

Ah makes sense

[gritty nymph]

I’ll try that tho

[rigid flint]

Her reflect won't do much if the sides use Crunch tbh

But it could work

You can try

[gritty nymph]

Also candice is in this for dmg or supporting?

[rigid flint]

I think it's probably for damage

[mellow linden]

If that fails then you could try Hala + Candice + BP Surge

[mellow linden]

Hail and Sync nuke

[gritty nymph]

Also how many noble roar do you recommend?

[rigid flint]

3

To get max debuffs

[mellow linden]

Always 3 Noble Roar with Double Drop gridded for Ghetsis

Sometimes more may be needed, but 3 is the minimum

The important thing with Bertha is that you wanna get rid of that Sandstorm or she’ll be hitting like a big rig

[gritty nymph]

What do I do in place of physical and special reduction?

Since ghetis is special and candice in phys

[mellow linden]

You mean Physical Damage Reduction 8 and Special Damage Reduction 8?

[gritty nymph]

Yep

[mellow linden]

Can just do something like status or interference immunity + Strike pairs take x3 damage since there’s no Strike pairs on the team

[gritty nymph]

Gotcha

Yeah that team sabrina cannot tank at all and candice needs too many rounds to set up fully

And even set up fully doesnt do enough

Also weirdly gauge heavy

Apologizes for the complaints

[mellow linden]

Candice having a long setup time is a non-issue, her damage outside of Sync nuke is nonexistent anyways

Can try Candice + Hala + SS Blue, I guess

[gritty nymph]

Am I crazy wrong parameters or is candice ice nuke kinda eh

Its hitting the same as halas ice hammer and im not sure

If thats right

[mellow linden]

Well she improves a large amount from EX, for one

What’s her grid?

[gritty nymph]

Nvm I was just missing criting with her

Every time

Lmao

Ty!!!

[mellow linden]

No problem. Candice gets Hail Follow-Through 9 in her grid, so that’s something worth considering in the future since it means she can use Hail right before Sync for a guaranteed crit

[gritty nymph]

Just beat the entire stadium thank you all for all the help

[full mesa]

Now do it again on MM

Aim for 4.2k or 840 per battle.

[opal olive]

Could anyone share a Lusamine team they used against Lucian at 2500 points? It’s fine if the other units are not F2P at all, I just need ideas

[full mesa]

Lusamine/Hilbert/Bugsy

Full physical

Nice nukes

[opal olive]

Beedrill Bugsy?

[full mesa]

Or Lusamine/Red/Physical Nuker

[full mesa]

Yeah.

Lusamine can't nuke the stage. You need a physical Nuker. She'll work as a secondary striker.

[opal olive]

I didn’t realize Lucian’s gimmick was to use physical attacks against him

[full mesa]

Lucian has wise entry x2

[opal olive]

I’ve been using Bug Buzz for a while now

[full mesa]

Her sync is special

[opal olive]

Ok it should be a lot easier now

[keen jasper]

I'd say Aaron/Lusamine/Guzma

[full mesa]

I don't like Aaron here because he can't boost Lusamine's stats.

But it's up to him

[keen jasper]

Aaron literally has attack and crit boost

[full mesa]

Does he?

Let me check.

[keen jasper]

Yes, on his TM

[opal olive]

Ok I’ll go use Lunge instead of Bug Buzz

[keen jasper]

And he can boost the team's defensive stats

[full mesa]

Yeah. He needs one tm mpr in the worst case scenario.

[opal olive]

I tried resorting to sleep-chaining with Serena alongside Lusamine because Bug Buzz was doing no damage

It didn’t work

[full mesa]

That's because of wise entry x2.

[opal olive]

Yeah I see now

[full mesa]

Even Alder has issues with that strategy.

[keen jasper]

Who's brave enough to use Raihan for steel-weak Bertha?

[full mesa]

Don't have him

Also I'll try to use either Solgaleo or KGrimsley.

Usually they work.

[keen jasper]

Good because steel-weak Bertha has Wise Entry x3

[full mesa]

X3?

Isn't it always x2?

[keen jasper]

Nah man, I ain't joking

[opal olive]

Oh and thank you for the team suggestions

[full mesa]

That's on the sides.

Mid doesn't get any boosts.

[full mesa]

GL on the challenge mate.

[old orchid]

Only on sides, mid doesn't have WE

[full mesa]

I desperately need a flying striker... Blue isn't always the answer.

[old orchid]

Kahili has a good nuke

You can use both together

With mixed support like Falkner

[full mesa]

First sync on Blue, then Kahili?

[keen jasper]

Yes, to get Hurricane, which is his main DPS

[full mesa]

But will Falkner survive long enough for 2 syncs against Lucian next week?

[keen jasper]

He can dodge with Fly

[full mesa]

I have built Nate but I don't think he can pre sync.

[old orchid]

Fly ruins queue tho

Nate is better than Kahili if only he is EX

[full mesa]

Maybe LSerena?

[full mesa]

Nope.

[old orchid]

LSerena is similar to Kahili

But she has flinch

[keen jasper]

Her nuke is strong, but her DPS is weak

[old orchid]

3/5 Falkner has 60% flinch

Good enough to deny some moves

[full mesa]

I need a Nuker for mid and a DPS for sides. Probably I'll run Blue/LSerena-Kahili/Support.

[old orchid]

I would use LSerena over Kahili because she has 30% flinch for more chance to turn deny but her nuke is annoying to setup

[full mesa]

But if I do that, I need to change my parameters. Because I use both physical and special moves...

[old orchid]

Do you have Darach?

[full mesa]

Only 2/5

[old orchid]

Which move level does he get Standfast 5?

[full mesa]

Need one more copy but I'm waiting for datamine.

[old orchid]

He is not a limited pair so dont candy him

[full mesa]

I'm not planning to

[old orchid]

Sadly Standfast 5 is locked behind 3/5

I think with Potion support he cant die to recoil in CS

So use him with LSerena and a physical support

[full mesa]

Also LSerena has too many recruitments for her sync. Att/SPD at -6 for full damage + her own att/SPD at +6...

[old orchid]

He works well with her

Actually she only needs at least -1 atk for Dominating Sync 2

Cakewalk needs -6 for full dmg ofc

About her buffs any Hilbert clone can solve that problem

[full mesa]

Is -1 the same as -6? For Dominating sync?

[old orchid]

Yes

[full mesa]

I see. If only slo-mo 9 wasn't locked behind 3/5.

[old orchid]

Unfortunately

At least Darach has good dps

[gritty nymph]

That was all for 12.5k lmao

[full mesa]

Ok

Now do it again next week

Apart from Flint, next week is fairly easy. Silver, any grass striker/tech, Absol, Cyrus can easily take those stages.

[old orchid]

Flint is easy after you replace sun

[full mesa]

We don't have good F2P rock types. Olivia needs 3/5. If you can off-type then yes. Just remove the sun.

[keen jasper]

Roark: Am I a joke to you?

[toxic cobalt]

Sad Brock noises

[grand trout]

Kukui doesn't have a nuke?

[old orchid]

compared to tech standard his nuke is not good

workable with zone

[toxic cobalt]

Feels like a SS Hilbert team

[dark osprey]

Lusamine, bugsy and Aaron seem like quite a reliable team I guess

[full mesa]

All syncs to Bugsy tho. Unless you aim for post sync.

[old orchid]

Bugsy's only purpose is sync nuke anyway

[mellow linden]

That is definitely not a Lusamine team, that's an SS Hilbert team featuring Lusamine

[proud axle]

Wouldn't Hilbert be at half power due to Wise×2? He's strong but is he more than twice as strong as Lusamine's Lunge?

Well okay probably

[old orchid]

He can still brute force through lol

[proud axle]

Yeah, this was more about "does his presence really overshadow Lusamine's so much that she's more like his sidekick here rather than them being partners?"
And... Techno Blast does have about twice as much BP as Lunge, so if he has more multipliers, it might be so.

[old orchid]

He is meant to be paired with another dmg dealer anw

[proud axle]

I'm actually not seeing a lot of multipliers in Hilbert's grid. Lusamine might actually win here if she can get Power Reserves up

At least he can get multipliers on his sync. Lusamine's sync is also special so she loses her phys advantage there

[keen jasper]

Whew, got 3.9k pts. on Bertha thanks to Irida

[opal olive]

Ok I was able to beat 12.5k MM including Lucian. All I needed really was to realize that I should only use physical attacks against him

[opal olive]

That sounds nightmarish and I would like to see a recording of it if you have one

[swift swan]

friendly reminder we have a summary of CS stages gimmicks on pins, or check pomatools for the full moveset and stats

[keen jasper]

Let me struggle with Lucian first

[opal olive]

Thank you

[keen jasper]

Goddamnit, so close to 3.9k Lucian

I just literally needed 1 more hit

Holy fuck, finally done 3.9k pts. Lucian

Damn, SS Wally still one-shots Cynthia at 3.9k pts.

[radiant wigeon]

I need help to team building for hard 1

[mellow linden]

So you can build a team around:

• Ghetsis for Bertha (make sure to bring any weather other than Sandstorm to the fight)

• Courtney for Aaron (you’ll want weather and an effect like confusion, trap, or flinch. Bertha or Acerola are good picks here)

• Kris for Flint

• Noland for Lucian

• Mina for Cynthia

Have you read the Teambuilding 101?

[radiant wigeon]

Yes

[keen jasper]

You make 5 teams centered around a damage dealer who's on-type, then you choose 2 units as type fodder to fill in the medal

[mellow linden]

Then you can pretty much follow those and keep in mind the additional notes I mentioned and you’re golden

Try to shoot for 9-12 different types across your teams for type medal

[radiant wigeon]

Your notes are on dmg dealers, when it comes about supports, i dont need they have to be supereffective, right? Just buffs special/physical dmg

[mellow linden]

The type of your Supports does not matter outside of wanting variety for type medal

So just follow the teambuilding guidelines and pick Supports that best help the damage-dealer

[radiant wigeon]

Is valerie better then mina? @mellow linden

[keen jasper]

Fairy-weak Cynthia is more vulnerable to physical attacks than special so Mina is better

[formal vigil]

and mina is just better in general

[toxic cobalt]

Struggling to think of a way Valerie competes with Mina

[north crown]

draning moves:

[toxic cobalt]

Mina drains attack

[keen jasper]

And gains multipliers from it

[mental basalt]

Ppl using dps Sycamore from its release: what's a Valerie?

[north crown]

MGA, SPATK, FAINT, FIELD

[radiant wigeon]

I tried Bertha with Ghetsis, Pryce and Sycamore but i cant win

[north crown]

sandstorm:

also what round?

[toxic cobalt]

Don't use Pryce

[radiant wigeon]

I thought since Ghetsis deals more dmg to slowed enemies could be good

[toxic cobalt]

There's no way that team has enough speed to queue 3 moves for each opponent move

[north crown]

wow Aaron + Bugsy + Lusamine sucks

[old orchid]

skill issue

[toxic cobalt]

I mean, it includes Lusamine

[north crown]

I did beat it, but Aaron had to carry

[old orchid]

What did you expect from these bug dmg dealers

[mellow linden]

Remember how I said you’ll want to bring any weather other than Sandstorm to the fight against Bertha?

[mental basalt]

Even for Sinnoh CSMM
1/5 EX Irida + BP Candice duo is doing good
Tested first and third round

[zealous karma]

I used this team to off type sinnoh flint with rosa as the support

theyre a great combo if only we had more supports for them

but i did get a lucky freeze

[mental basalt]

Palbea def great
But so far we got only enemies with physical damaging moves
BP Candice is not happy

[paper summit]

Well, special attacks won't be that different, her defenses are just low in general

[mental basalt]

Ye, but sinnoh master passive can save her
Or as in this turn, just dodge, she's good at it

Consider this time I was using +30% +300% on strikers parameter bcs she was dying to EQ

[mellow linden]

3x on Strike pairs

Not +30%

[mental basalt]

Oh ye i meant that

[zealous karma]

my beloved

[mental basalt]

EQ aside the clear is quite easy, still 1/5 Irida

[rotund lagoon]

Best off type team, change my mind

[nocturne pawn]

what happened to your ss acerola

[zealous karma]

Don’t think annie ever had her

[nocturne pawn]

thats the joke

[rotund lagoon]

[proud axle]

I've used that exact team before and it works better than you might expect, since Ghetsis isn't actually spamming Glaciate (he uses several Noble Roars). While he and Pryce are buffing their crit, Sycamore can use Dazzling Gleam, so you can delay his gauge accel field TM until the third turn-- right before his sync gives EX Support and +6 Speed to everyone. With +6 Speed and accel, you definitely have more than enough gauge income to support the team

The sandstorm thing was very likely their actual problem, but I think someone already pointed that out

[white bramble]

What's a good team for posion stall

[tired sleet]

Lucy/Janine/Tank is one example

[proud axle]

BP Erika/Tangela can fill Lucy's role if for some reason you have her (nowadays Lucy's grid makes her just as good at the job though)
Tech Egg Nidoqueen can fill Janine's Venom Drench role too

[thin pecan]

Does anyone have a bug team for this week?

I tried using Guzma but that did not go well

Mid is basically unkillable

[quaint solar]

use thegamingeevee video on YouTube

[zealous karma]

https://youtu.be/3EqI351q4hQ?t=883

[thin pecan]

How is that even possible

Is Guzma just really that bad lol

[toxic cobalt]

I’m shocked even Sycamore can support Ghetiss and a 3 bar

[zealous karma]

Bugsy and Noland are just that good

[sleek dawn]

Guys?

[zealous karma]

Yes?

[sleek dawn]

I need help with Bertha

[old orchid]

Send your roster here

[sleek dawn]

Wdym?

[toxic cobalt]

Are you changing the weather?

[old orchid]

And is this hard mode or master mode?

[sleek dawn]

Normal

[old orchid]

Roster means units you have

[sleek dawn]

I’m sorry I can’t understand fully what’s y’all are saying…

I’m very sorry

[sleek dawn]

I I’ll try

[old orchid]

Lets me explain the gimmick of Bertha first

[sleek dawn]

How do I send a pick of em all at once

Btw y’all might find it embarrassing how I got 59 5 stars and can only deafeat her and not her friends

[old orchid]

She will set up sand upon entry, and her team will be boosted when sand is up. So you need to replace sand with another weather

[sleek dawn]

Ok

So hail to boost ice?

[old orchid]

Use this site to track your roster, then send the image to track your roster here

+tracker

[frozen depot]

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

For newcomers/beginners, check the video below on how to properly showcase your pairs : https://i.imgur.com/A0XcAgZ.mp4

[sleek dawn]

So I just clicker the ones I got?

[old orchid]

Hail is the best weather because most Ice type can take advantage of hail. Note that hail doesnt boost Ice damage

[old orchid]

Thats the point. And show their exact move level too

Check the tutorial link

[sleek dawn]

Sync Pairs Tracker - Pokémon Masters EX

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

K done

Took a while xd

[grand trout]

Tbh im surprised lucian is hard this week

I used guzma, aaron, and scingo for him r1

Im lucky to nuke him easily, i guess

[old orchid]

You have to click the image button so that an image is generated at the bottom of the side. Then you download or copy it then send here

[sleek dawn]

So u didn’t see

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

Do u see now?

[mellow linden]

You’re sending a direct link to the tracker. That won’t work, you’ll need to create an image via the image button and post that

[sleek dawn]

I’m so sorry I don’t know how to?

[mellow linden]

There are buttons on the bottom of the screen

Options -> Image

[sleek dawn]

This?

[mellow linden]

There ya go

[old orchid]

Its better to filter out units you dont have but for now its fine

How many types have you filled in the medal?

[sleek dawn]

?

[mellow linden]

Is this your 1st time doing Champion Stadium?

Legitimate question, it’ll make explanations easier

[sleek dawn]

The sin oh one yeah

[old orchid]

You need to use 18 types in a regional CS to unlock Master Mode for more rewards

[toxic cobalt]

^

[mellow linden]

Ok, so you didn’t do it last week then. What teams did you use thus far?

Or is Bertha your 1st fight?

[sleek dawn]

Bertha

[mellow linden]

Bertha 1st, ok. Gimme a sec to look over your roster then

[sleek dawn]

K

[mellow linden]

Looks like you can build a team around:

• Hala for Bertha (you’ll want to bring any weather except Sandstorm to this fight)

• SS Serena for Aaron (you’ll want to bring some form of weather)

• Noland for Lucian

• Cyrus for Flint

• Mina for Cynthia

Try to use 9-12 unique types (the type of your Sync Pair’s Sync Move) across all your fights

[sleek dawn]

So I’m supposed to get supports or techs to buff Hala?

[mellow linden]

Have you read the teambuilding 101?

[sleek dawn]

Nope

[mellow linden]

+101

[frozen depot]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you have done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding and gameplay.

1. When making a team, you usually want to focus building around a selected damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or not if they are strong enough to off-type). This can be a / striker or a tech. Take the time to read that damage dealer's kit in its entirety (moves and passives) to see what they can buff themselves. Critical-Hit Rate maxes at +3 while all other main buffs go to +6. Damage dealers should be in slot 3 for tactics.

2. Once you figured out your damage dealer, pick a to put on slot 1 in tactics so it takes the damage. The support will often want to cover the buffs the damage dealer needs and cannot max by themselves reliably (look for critical-hit rate, attack or special attack for example). If your damage dealer is fully self sustainable, the support can cover healing or defensive utility as needed!

3. Finally your last slot is entirely flexible and depends on your first two picks. You can take a tech focusing on utility like debuffs or weather/terrain that empowers your damage dealer, or another support that focuses on defenses and healing to survive longer, perhaps even boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a second damage dealer! It's important to experiment and remember that a successful team will be able to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealer fast so they can focus on pumping out damage as soon as possible!

[mellow linden]

Follow those guidelines and pay attention to the extra notes I made and you should be golden

[sleek dawn]

K I’ll go try rn

Do I even got Hala…?

[grand steppe]

You marked him.

[cinder summit]

Hala & Crabominable

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Alola)

Alternates:

None

[sleek dawn]

Oh him

Yeah I got him

I tried with him alr

But I’ll try again

[grand steppe]

The Ice stage has Sandstorm, which you'll want to get rid of.

[sleek dawn]

So who should I use to get rid of it

[mellow linden]

Anyone who sets a weather other than Sandstorm

[grand steppe]

Candice + Hala should be a decent duo.

[sleek dawn]

Candice?

Glacia for the last slot?

[grand steppe]

that will probably be pretty gauge heavy, maybe Hilbert (Samurott)

[mellow linden]

You do not need to monotype, and in fact you actively want to avoid it here

[grand trout]

I don't have much ice Pokemon

Would Pryce suffice for neo CS?

[sleek dawn]

So who should I use…?

[old orchid]

[old orchid]

You dont have Ghetsis?

[sleek dawn]

Bruh

Xd

[grand steppe]

Pryce as a main DD is not recommended, he's usually there to setup others and deal additional damage.

[sleek dawn]

So who should I use for the last slot…?

[cinder summit]

Hilbert & Samurott

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Unova)

Alternates:

Sygna Suit Hilbert & Genesect
Hilbert (Fall 2020) & Mightyena

[sleek dawn]

Ok

[grand steppe]

Are you doing CS for the first time?

[mellow linden]

They are

We established this

[grand steppe]

I only just joined this convo. :3

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

[grand steppe]

It's hard to recommend them Winona for type medal to avoid 2x Ice, but they may need her for water-weak.

[mellow linden]

They have May, so worst case scenario they can afford Rain on 2 teams

[sleek dawn]

Now I’ll try

First try I lost!

Bro I do no dmg

I give up bruh

[mellow linden]

What moves did you use and did you triple queue

[sleek dawn]

Idk what that means

I’m not a pro

Y’all making it seem like I’m a pro

[mellow linden]

Triple queue is an extremely basic thing that is vital to success

[sleek dawn]

Wydm

[mellow linden]

All triple queue means is that all 3 of your Sync Pairs act before every enemy action

+triplequeue

[frozen depot]

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.

[sleek dawn]

Oh I did then

I started with hail then buffs

[mellow linden]

Did you use Hala’s Dire Hit+?

[sleek dawn]

Ye

[mellow linden]

Did you focus the center 1st?

[sleek dawn]

Ye

[mellow linden]

Can you maybe try again and either record the fight or take a screenshot when you’re about to lose? It’ll be easier to figure out what’s going wrong that way

[sleek dawn]

Join the bc I’m in

Vc

Y’all joined?

[mellow linden]

I don’t really see how voice chat will help here, tbh

[sleek dawn]

I’ll record the fight

So u can tell me how I’m messing up

[mellow linden]

You don't need voice chat for that though, and a screenshot right around the end of the fight will work as well

[sleek dawn]

Idk how to ss on my new iPad

Tbh nvm

[mellow linden]

On Apple devices pressing the power button and a volume button simultaneously screenshots

[sleek dawn]

I’ll just keep trying and if I don’t win I think that’s my queue to stop playing

For a while

Yeah ima just give up

[old orchid]

can you send a screenshot tho, so that we can tell you what to do to win

[grand steppe]

Are the sync pairs gridded or no?

[old orchid]

do you do triple queue properly?

[zealous karma]

wait a moment do ice week berthaand drake have the same gim mick?

[nocturne pawn]

that freeze totally mattered

[grand steppe]

Playing with 6 gauges again, so liberating 🥹

[sleek dawn]

GUYS WAIT

IM DOIN IT

SHES LOW

BY HER SELF

GHETIS BY HIM SELF

NOW ITS A MATTER OF SPEED

I lost…

[old orchid]

you didnt tell us what went wrong, so we couldnt help you

its pointless to complain

Sages even sent you a gameplay so that you can copy

[sleek dawn]

I just saw it

I’ll try even tho I can’t get those lvls

[old orchid]

lvl 120 is fine

[sleek dawn]

I I’ll try now

[grand steppe]

Also what round is it, each round has a special condition in effect

[sleek dawn]

I lost

[old orchid]

what went wrong?

[sleek dawn]

I used everything and only did 3k with my sync

[old orchid]

that might be non crit

try again

[nocturne pawn]

sounds like it didnt crit

[hoary hull]

I’m going to guess that they haven’t touched the Sync Grids yet

[toxic cobalt]

Are you able to record?

[old orchid]

we need to know your gameplay as well

so please record your gameplay

[sleek dawn]

Wait nvm

I used the wrong sync xd

I used Hala and not Candice

Y’all see it?

[nocturne pawn]

you’re not triple queueing

do you know how to do that

[sleek dawn]

Uhh kinda?

[nocturne pawn]

try playing on 1x for a bit

the problem here is that you’re letting bertha sync which removes hail

if you can get a sync with candice that makes it a lot easier for you

this is how you do triple queue

[nocturne pawn]

is she gridded

[grand steppe]

So without grids, you want a more defensive support like Skyla.

1/5 Hilbert isn’t giving crit, so he doesn’t help Hala too much.

I wish there was a run griddles option without deleting one of my presets

[toxic cobalt]

second, follow every move Sages did

[mellow linden]

Heads up that tomorrow you'll need to come up with different teams since CS will do its weekly reset

[toxic cobalt]

Hmm a rough week too

[nocturne pawn]

looks fine to me

fire weak might be an issue with megahorn else it looks ok

does dark have an entry x2

[mellow linden]

[nocturne pawn]

fun

guess its masked royal time

is there any lucian without an entry x2

[old orchid]

Flying weak Lucian

[nocturne pawn]

cool

[sleek dawn]

Could y’all tell me what build i should use tmr?

[north crown]

Oh god another person who is going to get bombarded by us…

They’re already getting flooded with messages without my participation, and I usually spam

[keen jasper]

Has anyone attempted at least 18k pts. this week and last week?

[zealous karma]

Last week I did 18K

[keen jasper]

Can you go higher this next reset?

[zealous karma]

I am not subjecting myself to that again

[keen jasper]

I'm trying 3.9k pts. this week

[zealous karma]

Next week isnt to bad for me

maybe I will try

and cry

[keen jasper]

I wish my Bulurola is 3/5 for SS Erika to deal some major damage

[umbral crow]

May i ask you all how do you do point greater than 2,5k?

[keen jasper]

Yes

Also powercreep of units

[old orchid]

great roster and good skill

[umbral crow]

Nah i mean isnt the max pts is 2,5k?

[keen jasper]

That is the limit

The max points is 5.8k

[old orchid]

you could go higher, but the limit the game shows is 2.5k

[umbral crow]

Do u get extra points above limit?

[keen jasper]

No

[umbral crow]

The reward

Oh

Im not planning to do it anw but good to know

[keen jasper]

You only do above 2.5k if you feel like you wanna showoff your units

Well, you can showoff your units at 2.5k pts., but if you want their full potential, do at least 3k and above

[keen jasper]

Round 1: Perma field effects
Round 2: Faster gauge
Round 3: Higher sync buffs
Round 4: Increased chance of additional effects
Champion: Half sync

[verbal karma]

Err...R1 Flint or R1 Bertha?

[grand trout]

Are there any entries this week

[keen jasper]

Lucian Wise Entry

[grand trout]

Sorry for ping but i need 5 ice types

[zealous karma]

you can always off type

[grand trout]

Thanks, furbert time

[grand trout]

I don't off type as a challenge kek

[zealous karma]

off typing would probably be easier than attempting to use Pryce

[north crown]

whoever you have the more busted team with

[zealous karma]

is it half accel?

[keen jasper]

Where?

Cynthia is half accel

[zealous karma]

wth

[verbal karma]

Err...well, I don't know about busted, buuuuuuuut

[keen jasper]

R3 parameter is a definite no no unless you're confident in your team

[verbal karma]

None of my strong Rock-type sync pairs can set up their own Sandstorm, while I do have a strong Grass-type who CAN set up her own Sun

[keen jasper]

Acerola: Am I a joke to you?

[verbal karma]

Acerola isn't Rock-type

[keen jasper]

Does it matter?

[verbal karma]

I mean, if I want to on-type

[zealous karma]

Round 1: Permanent Field Effects
Round 2: Gauge Speed Increased
Round 3: Sync Buffs Are More Effective
Round 4: Moves with Extra Effects are more likely to occur (Aggravation and Hostile environment)
Round 5: Half Sync

acerola is just there for sandstorm

[keen jasper]

I literally wrote that

[north crown]

imagine caring about monotype syncs for teams
but seriously don't get trapped in that monotype mindset

[zealous karma]

Well I didnt see it

lel

[keen jasper]

But doesn't matter, Nov will update it anyways

[verbal karma]

Well, the idea for Flint is that someone sets up Sandstorm so that Olivia can throw Stone Edges and sync attacks at people

[keen jasper]

We don't even have a single rock-type that sets up Sandstorm

[verbal karma]

Meanwhile, with Bertha, SS Erika can make her own sun

[verbal karma]

I never said anything about monotype teams

[north crown]

bruh

[verbal karma]

Why would you want me to use Acerola as the damage dealer for a Rock-weak Flint? 🤨

especially if Olivia exists

[keen jasper]

Because Sandstorm damnit

Flint preemptive sets up sun

[zealous karma]

They’re recommending her as a partner to Olivia

[verbal karma]

I already had that plan

[zealous karma]

A

[undone ether]

Any order kist for this? o.o

[verbal karma]

I am just saying

[zealous karma]

Prolly doesn’t matter cause they’re overkill anyways

[verbal karma]

Olivia needs a Partner to set up Sandstorm

[zealous karma]

Acerola does that e

[verbal karma]

While SS Erika can set up her own Sun

So...uh...maybe R1 Bertha is better than R1 Flint?

[keen jasper]

When will we get a dynamax unit with Max Rockfall

[undone ether]

HUMMM

[north crown]

@verbal karma If you have sonia, sonia, olivia, acerola is very safe, especially if you have olivia ex

[zealous karma]

I’d say do flint first

[swift swan]

Guess who's currently outside and forgot it's reset time

[verbal karma]

Oh...but if I were to do R2 Bertha, then I'd need a secondary sun setter just to be safe...hmm...

[zealous karma]

Scroll up and you can prolly@copy paste Eoscaster or my message

To save you time for params

[swift swan]

Updated

[formal vigil]

Perma field

[swift swan]

Sadly the summary of CS gimmicks will have to wait until I get back

Which is not for another 10 or so hours

[undone ether]

Permafield kek

[devout sluice]

I do know that round 4 will have sandstorm. So unless you brought a weather unit then you can go ahead and choose perma field

[undone ether]

Champion will have Weather so

i'm just gonna do Anniversary Steven to remove weather www

[zealous karma]

Is dragon week cynthia new I swear I don’t remember it

[formal vigil]

No

Been there since first sinnoh rotation

[zealous karma]

Wow she must be easy if I erased her from my memory that hard

[keen jasper]

Weather and half sync, welp

At least she doesn't reapply it after sync

EQ changes to Stone Edge tho

[verbal karma]

Alright, with R1 Flint done, I...originally planned to do R4 Aaron, but now I don't know if that is better or worse than R4 Bertha...

Actually, no, I'll stick with R2 Bertha

[zealous karma]

If you have good grass pairs it could be overkill but I assume you have silvers pb so you should be fine as silver can first sync clear Aaron

Oh wait you also have SSHilda I forgot

[devout sluice]

12.5k Sinnoh gonna give me a headache this week, so I decided to do 10.5k instead.

Got an unfortunate crit tho on dark week.

[verbal karma]

SS Hilda would possibly make R4 Aaron a better choice due to Hostile Environment

[zealous karma]

I see

[verbal karma]

Anyway, R3 Lucian...would Physical or Special be preffered

If it's the latter, then I can just do the funni Karen team

[keen jasper]

Lucian has Wise Entry

[verbal karma]

Damn

I'll need to think outside of the box then

[keen jasper]

Do you have Champion Serena?

[upbeat dragon]

is the sinnoh champion stadium damn hard?
cause i have easily completed 2.5k mastermode with so many stadiums but i just cant with sinnoh cs

[zealous karma]

Sinnoh’s considered the hardest of the champion stadiums but I find hoenn harder

[grave wyvern]

Yes, Sinnoh is particularly brutal

Bertha especially

[keen jasper]

Starting with Sinnoh, the newest CS are very hard compared to the previous 4

[trail smelt]

Everything went smoothly and no reset needed haha

[devout sluice]

Kalos right?

[grave wyvern]

Kalos is also very hard, yeah

[trail smelt]

Should be the same next week

[grave wyvern]

I didn't find Hoenn too bad, but Glacia doesn't fuck around

[zealous karma]

Kalos Hoenn and Sinnoh are the three horsemen of difficult CS

[keen jasper]

Steel-weak Glacia tho

[zealous karma]

My hatred

[grave wyvern]

Just nasty

[devout sluice]

Seems I’ll have trouble on 12.5k on Kalos as well then

[keen jasper]

I feel sorry for those who don't have OG Raihan or striker Perrserker

[grave wyvern]

[trail smelt]

I’m not gonna bother using special steels

[swift swan]

Just offtype with the billion special damage dealers available

[trail smelt]

Just gonna flinch her with Steven as usual LMAO

[zealous karma]

I used thorton

(:

[grave wyvern]

I'm going to try with Wikstrom

Thank god he's a flinchbot

[zealous karma]

I’ll use thorton again

[manic kiln]

Hoenn next month glacia revenge

[keen jasper]

Not while I have my striker Perrserker

[verbal karma]

...damn, R5 Cynthia seems to be straight up unbeatable, even with the R1 gimmick 😦

[verbal karma]

Nope

[verbal karma]

For those wondering: my team is Zinnia/SS Elesa/Winona

[rigid flint]

What uh dragon types do you have

[formal vigil]

Have you used cyrus

[verbal karma]

A good amount, but only Zinnia seems to benefit from weather

[rigid flint]

Uh

I see Lucas and Zerena

That'll already destroy the stage

[formal vigil]

You even have anni raihan

[rigid flint]

Add in SS Brendan and they are more than dead

[verbal karma]

Wait, what about the Sandstorm?

[formal vigil]

Who can change weather to sun

[rigid flint]

We love overkill

[verbal karma]

So replace Winona with Anni Raihan, right?

[formal vigil]

You kinda have to change it due to sand screen
