Did you use irida zone before or after hau
Before sync two times
Anyone I should save for a specific round for this one?
After sync i use b ice move lower sp def before b electroweb
Dokt do Bertha round one if you’re not using sync accel
I think I understand
I didn't know you couldn't have three zones up
Ice zone would cancel fairy zone
Yes
Zone, weather, and terrain can coexist with field effects from different categories, but cannot coexist with another field effect from the same category.
So you can absolutely have Hail, Fairy Zone, and Electric Terrain, but if you set Ice Zone it'll cancel out Fairy Zone and vice versa
if u want tp use zinnia, bring weather
Already did that, didn't end well
The one I sent gave me the best results so far
Is Zinnia a must to use or no?
Hem In 2 is really funny
not even ssacerola?
Why did you replace bulu?
It eats Discombobulate for breakfast
The other flying type striker I have is Blue
And the rest of your Flying roster? It doesn’t have to be a Strike pair
If SS Acerola + Zinnia + SC Steven fails you could try SS Acerola + Zinnia + Darach
damn if only he was 3/5
2/5 still gets Pecking Order grid tile
ssace is goated
oh yeah
It just means no Brave Bird if it can be helped
actually sc steven darach ss ace should wreck it
seun and then you can stack pmun for a kamikaze
I'd still suggest running zinnia, as her flying dps is actually good compared to 2/5 darach
Don't know who you have fully. Bring an EX Blue, EX Support with Potion and a Flincher.
nah ssacerola should be able to carry zinnia
besides, EX support with Blue is not gonna cut it because he wants to sync asap to access Hurricane...
Do I sunny day at the begginig or right before sync?
Blue is worse than Zinnia + Darach + SS Acerola
By a significant margin
i mean nuke is probably the bigger issue here sides arent that dangerous
Just giving the advice of what I did.
I'd suggest mentioning that when you give the advice in the future, so as to avoid confusion
Bro I swear to god does Lucian secretly have vigilance on him
Every time I sync he doesn't get crit
That’s a pretty stacked team
Some pairs need to sync first to get their main damaging move
Yeah, Zinnia needs to take 1st Sync if she’s acting as a Flying damage-dealer
Karen blue are notable ones
Some get more damage from their sync than supp ex like Zerena and diantha
Most transforming sync pairs except for a 
well steven has haymaker so its not that bad even so
Anni steven doesn’t have haymaker
So I’m giving up 12.5k this week lols Bertha is too haxx for newbies like me
“A” Steven. Not all.
Mr. Less than 300 ATK when EX Steven. 🫠
I believe he’s the only mega pair to not get more than one stat from mega
Do you have colress? I’d replace masked for him
that team should work
also why is colress recommended?
does it have less paralysis mitigation
I don’t think he existed when this CS debuted
@tribal agate
is he just randomly good for the stage then
I was recommending him for type skill and has aoe def sebuffs
He has screech ripple effect
Nope
Oh than MR is fine just sync with Solgaleo first tho
Just kill her on the 1st sync 

bertha you either have to have an extremely good first sync or deny with kos on side or flinches for double sync
Solgaleo doesn’t have any super prep right?
Weel do you have Snorlax Red?
DIid you even try
EX Blue
EX support with potion
A Flincher with 30% or more
🤔
Why EX Blue on Bertha
?
You still stuck at the flying weak stage right?
.
Woops. 😅
3/5 falkner has aggravation 1 id try using flinch to deny sides to get the second sync
your options for dps are very limited though
Your Only steel stricker is Solgaleo 🤔
Sides aren't a problem actually
They die on solgaleo first sync
If you had saved Steven you could’ve easily one shotted the stage with haymaker solgaleo
Let me see if A Grinsley makes a difference
i dont see kimono grimsley
Use thegamingeevee on YouTube team if you have it available.
Can’t be done with Aaron, you need either super up or phys up
Hmmm
You couldn't flinch it to Sync twice with that team 🤔
That’s with -2 countdown and zero bulk (aka only +2 strength), she starts off with countdown: 3 in that.
What about posion stall and just forget about this stage?
can always off type with ncmarnie
I think I can beat cynthia and flint pretty easilty with what I have
Not a bad idea actually
Solgaleo should be able to handle that stage even post sync

Her sync is super effective against him
Grimsley with seun and maxed out multipliers should be able to one shot center even without ex
And at 1/5
wait do they have grimsley
Nope
He doesn’t have a grimsley, but you can use nanu for screech
I thought they posted this woops
But no steel theme skills
That inflated hp is the difference between some damage rolls I figure
The turbo 1st sync route needs super up, or a quad queue with 1-2 phys up.
Can’t imagine they have that
Prolly just gonna brute force with cMarnie at this point
Fair
Do you have the team I showed you available in that picture?
Sides have wise entry x3 tho In Bertha
I believe Aaron is used for Round 5
That's what I had to use anyways
Aaron’s precision pals, is only at 3/5
Which is why he’s recommended for Cynthia
I think they only have 2/5
Hop would boost sol’s atk though, cause of themes
You won. Congrats. Yo sages and Cobaltsteel Won't he have a Nuke issue without Aaron. On R5 now?
Aaron contributes no more to the majority of Sync nukes than any other Attack/crit Support
^
I actually got crit rock slides and cause I run strike and tech x3 I died
Take Damage from nuke on R5
bertha shouldnt be syncing regardless
the point of that is to show that double sync is possible
Her not syncing is kinda hard
Unless you flinch/side deny like I did in that video
uh cynthia doesnt have multipliers for lowered accuracy its just an annoyance
Well i couldn't double sync R5. Had to use Aaron to survice the sync
If Cynthia got to Sync with Bea that sounds like a parameter or gameplay issue
tbh if you have 3/5 bea fighting weak cynthia should be a pushover
I couldn't double sync it with Bae. CobaltSteel told me to use Aaron to service the sync. That's just my luck I suppose
if you use hilbert you can basically kill her by the first sync
I recommended Aaron so you could push out enough damage to KO center before they Synced
Because before you had no one to buff Bea’s Attack and so she was wasting 2 turns buffing herself when she could have been using those turns on Meteor Assaults to squeeze out more damage, in addition to actually getting to +6 Attack
If the opponent Synced despite that it’s likely a parameter or gameplay issue
That did not happened in my run. 😅 I spamed defend order and heal order to survive the sync the second sync right after
That just means you missed a quad queue
So you didn’t quadqueue, despite me recommending Aaron or Hilbert as the Attack + crit Support specifically so you could quadqueue
🗿
what params did you even take
cynthia was 95% dead by the time bea synced in my run
That is correct in my run. But Cynthia got to her sync B4 I did.
Lack of quadqueue
Again, quadqueue was the reason I specifically suggested Aaron or Hilbert as the Attack/crit Support, otherwise any Attack/crit Support would have worked
You cleared the stage already midknight so there’s no Fret
Just saying. Lol. Double sync did happen for me. I survived the sync theb second sync with Bae. Stage cleared.
Yeah, if it works it works, just keep quadqueue in mind for the future if you have trouble surviving enemy Sync
Did you not see the video I sent?
Yeah but idk if I can play around flinching
I'm too bad at that
Gonna try anyways tho
Do u have Nanu grided?
If you just follow whay I did it should be fine the only issue that would arise if the foe uses a stat boosting move instead of an Atk
Yes but it shouldn’t really matter I have fast track and critical focus
Ye well I have my own params but the ones in pins should be fine
What round is this fight?
I'll just poison stall and pray I can clear Flint and Cynthia
R3
What. I thought you was on R5 now
I don't understand stand. You posted a video earlier defeating Bertha
Richu was the one who posted the Bertha clear
Woops 😅
Speaking of the Bertha fight though, consider waiting to do her for round 4 if you’re Poison stalling, since it’ll increase the damage dealt by Poison and (if you use it) Trapped
Who you got for Bertha then?
They’re planning to Poison stall rn
Yeah
Which for Bertha specifically may be either as easy or slightly easier than an offense clear depending on roster
From my experience. Shouldn't they poison stall Flying/Fighting 🤔 Those to 2 stages where their nukes are really 💪 .
They’ve already cleared Lucian and Cynthia can potentially be done extremely easily depending on roster
Not to mention that you can, y’know, have multiple Poison stall teams
anything new?
Man Bertha's giving me trouble even with psn stall wth
what team are you using?
Lucy, Sycamore and Janine
And what parameters?
The ones pinned
i dont see a defense buffer there
Just making sure. What specifically is going wrong?
I'm dying 
Also yeah, a Defense buffer would be better than Sycamore here. Skyla’s a nice option if she’s available
Yes, but how and possibly when
he is good yes
If the issue is crits, for example, it can be easily remedied by giving Vigilance to everyone
BP Morty’s a good pick, yeah. Just be careful about Astonish since flinch will slow things down a bit
or just spam Confuse Ray
grid him with full heal and Synchro Healing
and sync with him for heal
Use EX Support Misty for poison Stall, in my opinion.
you mean Swimsuit Misty? cuz OG Misty doesnt have EX yet
MistyDuck can work, but does take more opening RNG
BP Morty is better than her in every way
Why would you need exed units for stall
BP Morty has more reliable buffs and Confuse Ray as additional advantage
Amazed that OG Misty and Brock still can’t ex
Also yeah, EX is not required for stall
Possible bulk?
Most Supports you’d use in Poison stall are bulky enough without EX
Do I grab Master healer or MP refresh for potion?
Don't understand why BP morty is better than Misty. BP morty does not have stop hitting yourself
Wonder if there’s some psychopath out there that’s done 2.5k Sinnoh CS with Eggmon..
In what universe does Misty have any confusion related stuff
he gas better bulk and more consistent buffs and better healing
Can't grab both and synchro healing
stop hitting yourself isnt even relevant for stall regardless
Misty doesn't have potions either
BP morty has consistency.
confusion doesnt matter anyway
Mistyduck has Potion, but Morty's is better
Talking about phsyduck
Hold on, lemme see what I can work with here
tbf Misty does have synchro healing
Wish those event units had another run.
try this
you have nothing better to do when stalling, so that's a healing source, the problem is how long it takes
however, Morty also has this, so meh 
The biggest issue with MistyDuck is lack of consistency on defensive buffs
yeah mistyduck is just worse for poison stall vs bp morty
Trying to stall with only +2 to both defenses is brutal, so you basically have to reset for MP Refresh RNG. Not a massive deal, but since BP Morty also has the extra nudge of Confuse Ray he does slightly edge her out
she could work in easier regions where opponents dont hit hard like Bertha
Now if Bertha had any sort of even semi-reliable DoT infliction it would be a different story
Because at that point MistyDuck’s Full Heal would give her an additional edge
I actually did not even notice he has Sync Healing. Looking at his grid. You are correct. Morty is above Misty.
Well bp Morty ended being sooo good with psn stall lol
Gonna start saving Sycamore for something else

What’s the team again?
atk buffer, bea, masked royal
what's Lillie doing there?
Ah. Sync Buffs effectiveness increase for parameter then. I assume Lillie is there for accuracy buffs
Someone told me to bring acc buffer 
oh right, ngl I completely forgot Cynthia has that nonsense
if you're worried about accuracy, you could just run hilbert wally
Bea and Hilbert are good duo, its just Lillie standing there with no purpose outside of acc buffs
Tbf since Hilbert is tanking an accuracy buffer is a bit less important since Bea would only be at -1, but it’s not a huge deal. Worst case scenario Lillie can be replaced later
gridded Maylene is more useful since she both buffs acc and debuff defense

no worries
She's not gridded but I have around 14k orbs
she is useful with grid so its worth gridding her
Did you already use Aaron?
Aaron is less important here since they have Hilbert
Which trainer was it that got more oppressive with buffs this week? SC Zinnia wants to know their location.
Flint
Water weak Flint has Good Form, if that’s what you mean
he also has Rising Tide

yes very good
It is indeed. So yeah, SC Zinni lookin to catch a body or three. I know she won’t be hitting for SE, but she’s on my mind to shut down a possible snowball
fun, guess they wanted to try and counter every stacked water pair we have and failed miserably
if you grid Pep Rally on Maylene, Bea doesnt need an extra turn to max speed by herself
perhasp they could get away with a different support other than hilbert cuz maylene already maxes bea's crit and a bit of attack if really needed
does it matter? it's the champion battle...
no need to save anything at all
a bit of redundancy isn't the end of the world
Well that was easy
Makes me sad that Lucian has sentry this week. Would’ve loved to dunk on him with Fletchling
First try lol
Only Bertha gave me trouble this week
Lucian has no entry x2 passives this week
He’s just bulky
Oh he doesn’t? I thought someone did or was that last week?
Aaron does
The sides on Steel weak Bertha have Wise Entry x3 and Electric weak Aaron has Sentry Entry x2
Lucian only has Wise Entry x2, on all stages but flying, this guy hates special attackers, smh
Steel has Sp.attackers?!
also RIP Aaron with that cracked defense. 1/5 Zekrom damage will be annoying to punch over that
regular pairs only one, Raihan has Steel Beam
SC Shauna and SC Jasmine erasure
sure, I don't count support striker memes
and Thorton is just plain trash
there is also striker Perrserker but that one is not the most accessible
You used Lucy, it’s automatically a good battle
Don't mind me struggling with Bertha, trying to use Jasmine/Hop + PalMarnie + KGrimsley... Still with Physical Damage Reduction 8...
My condolences
It's alright... I opened this channel to look for a suggested parameters and saw a poison stall, started switching over attack to defense parameters and saw it 😂
Still did defense parameters, but with Special DR8
Asking here because no one would use these two together in gauntlet, but... SSTRed and SSHau together, would their passives stack? Because they have different names so I'd expect it to I guess?
To extend electric terrain
they do stack
hmm? Hau's passive is not master anyway
Ooo
oh, that
Sorry yeah, that one
If you used something like maxie and 3/5 adaman, do the alerts stack??
yes
Oh okay, thought they might not since they have the same name
Unless maybe... Never mind, idk 😅
Thanks
Best of luck with Ice weak CS tomorrow, everyone!
the same name thing is mostly referring to master passives
those are the ones that won't both stack if they have the exact same name, as in same region and all, only one will activate in that case
Okay, I was thinking more... This ET extension is normallength * extension1 * extension2, rather than possibly normallength * (extension1 + extension2) if they were the same name, different numbers would be fine
Pasio is all Ice types 🤔
So, they are going to unlock Wulfric EX tomorrow 2.
Any new EXs probably won't unlock until 7/25, after the event would be over. I don't recall them unlocking an EX for the last one?
They already released the new EX for this month, we won’t get another until Masters Day next month
I was just thinking why would they release all Ice type and not have all the F2P ice types have EX at least.
Which grass F2P striker don't have EX?
Technically they’re not free (but neither is Wulfric), but Gardenia and Ramos still lack EX
Amongst the Ice types, Wulfric, Lorelei, and Brycen lack EX
except Lorelei do they even have multipliers
freezer burn 5 & heavy hail 5 for brycen
they got done dirty 
Ice definitely has a few wacky players
Wulfric at least has a Sync modifier, look at Pryce
I ex'd Hala for the new CS. I've really underestimated him.
imagine not EXing the guy long ago, I did it as soon as I got access to Haymaker, funny monster goes brrr
Hala’s legitimately solid, he’s got a spot on one of my teams tomorrow for sure
tbf Pryce has Freeze Synergy 16 
Plus Invigorating Hail 6
good luck landing the freeze
too bad he has very low freeze chance on his own
oh great now I need to make a write up for Ice-CS
Point Number 1: It’s OK to Off-Type
well the only things that are notable is marnie having healthy advantage 4 and drake having wise entry x2 and sand + passives
Ghetsus happy face
only Drake & Shauntal have reduced Freeze mitigation
and that
ghetsis more like 🚮
so use Pryce for one of these stages
this is a joke
yeah, I'll off type some just to save all my fire power to decimate Marnie, that's my only goal tomorrow
me nuking Shauntal with Sconia, def an Ice type sync pair
Okay so just Shauntal for pyrce 
irrational hate is always funny
I’m only on-typing everything because I legitimately have the Ice roster to reasonably do so, and one of those teams is gonna be real wacky since I like Lorelei and wanna see how she nukes
||Glacia dps with Frost Breathe||
you joke but there is 100% someone out there that will use her as a damage dealer
me
the answer is poorly
Sonia (Holiday 2023) & Snom 
her stats are bad and freeze innate is cringe
I fully expect that to be one of my hardest fights despite planning to do it on one of the easiest stages
I’ve at least got BP Candice on that team as well for some extra damage output
Together they might add up to the equivalent of a single Hala, idk
a quarter of a hala
Something feels off about these teams even tho I know they’re good teams but idk what 
If I were to be clearing normally I’d do this unfortunately I’m playing by the hand of optimize
oh you meant the ice cs with optimize? what's wrong with you? smh
that ghetsis team looks awful for gauge
I’ve had Brendan on teams with worse gauge
He has wise entry x2 wth
Yep
just swap it with Bertha's
.
I’ll move the Bertha team there than
at least she has hail
is this silver still 1/5
I see you too have been bamboozled by thinking Bertha was part of Ice weak CS, lol
Yes I’m poor
Omg tickets I can Ex LGloria soon
you are right... tbf Bertha in sprite form kind of looked like Agatha 2.0 to me
this was before I was actually familiar with how she looks like
Wait is not icr Bertha I’m free
I was more talking to Richu with that remark, but I can now see that there are dozens of us
I forgot ice week koga even existed
ok, so it's 3 whatever battles, then Drake and Marnie
Ye
Meanwhile, my biggest concern is either Koga or Agatha (whoever I use the wacky Lorelei team against)
I thought it was Bertha cause she’s the more difficult stage
Although ice agatha used to torment me when I was new
Agatha has Satisfied Snarl 3? ngl I'm surprised to find such a thing in a Kanto CS stage
Yeah, it’s wack
fortunately she doesnt have Ripple Effect 9
And no AoE moves, which is nice
right, no wonder it's never been an issue to actually notice
Having a bit of trouble with Lucian. Tried Morty, EX Skyla, and Blue + Pidgeot but that didn't work well with Blue Mega Evolving so late. Tried with Roxanne next but the sides would knock me out
replace Morty with SS Elesa
Oh I meant BP Morty btw, sorry
ohh okay that makes sense
more MPR = more sync
ye
You don't need EX Skyla and EX BP Morty
Ice-Weak Special Stadium til July 12th UTC
hi sages
do it on R3 instead
sorry for interrupting
nbd
wait can agatha kill herself with tm
yes
Yeah
I tried Aaron earlier but I couldn't get good damage to the Vespiquen.
what team are you using?
i tried with lillie (with clefairy), hau, and bp lt. surge
bring Volkner
i dont think i have him
and use better tank than Surge
i mainly brought him for paralysis
fair
Sabrina Lucian Hau then
i was thinking sabrina too actually LMFAO
might have to post sync
yeah i might have to
alternatively you can bring a flincher to stop Aaron from using Heal Order
i tried lucian earlier too and it deals with the sides no problem
flinch stops that?
Who you kill for Round 1 then?
i like how everyone complains about flint and bertha meanwhile aaron and lucian make me want to die
not saying that as shade but its a funny observation ive made
I used Pikachu to kill Aaron, and I mean MC.
maybe it was cuz ground and bug weak were the same week
i forgot that MC + Pikachu exists
i just off typed because heal order pisses me the fuck off lmao
totally fair
also i actually had such bad rng

@noble plaza perhaps you can use 3/5 sabrina, hau, sleeper
#1011736960701829191 message
Seup 💀
Speaking of, Nyla do u have any pair that gives seup?
Supereffective Up
super effective up next
That
not to another pair I don't think
theres only like 5 units who apply that to a specific unit
I didn't use SEUP to KO Aaron, it was actually overkill on the sides as well.
The main thing is a support that buffs crit and paralyzes.
Anni Raihan gets to apply aoe 
mcchu getting 29k was kind of terrifying

Since he did water 1st, should he not go to electric next then go to flying after 🤔
aaron is electric
well, if you do decide to use Pikachu, lowering aaron's atk is a good way to enable Power Reserves for a post-sync clear
that's why I used Lucian
Is your Hau ex?
Oh he's 3/5 ex. hmmm
yeah
Yeah, you should just bring a flinch or sleeper
Actually better question: do you have any special dps offtype pairs?
not a bad idea actually
Offtype might be easier depending on your roster
here
Bruh I said dis 2
I know I just wanted to try with Lucian first
based on your roster EX Hau is still the best option
If you using blue like I did. I would have used him either in R1 or R3
Nyla, next time you export your roster, try and apply a sort. It's hard to locate pairs when I don't know the sort order.
i sorted by role
Wow 3/5 sabrina
didn't you recommend that last time?
okay so I think Role then release date it seems.
enable the "Show separators" button as well
thats a lot better
Did you test it yet?
Pryce has been a known factor for like a year or more now
which sleeper/flincher should I use for this one?
Oo bp/e giovanni
You can press the sort buttons in sequence to apply secondary sorts. Like if press Sort by type, and then sort by role, it should be extra sorted.
He doesn’t need to be tested again, we know Freeze-based modifiers are “meh”
Serena
you can??? holy crap
Eh sabrina is better cuz speed buffs
wouldn't Elio be good to buff Hau? Whose the support for the team
Do you not have volkner?
They do not
am I supposed to??? 😭
That’s if you want to deal with 90% acc sing
mine has troublemaker 1
Nah, it’s doable without Volkner, he just makes it easier
It’s not bad, but it isn’t guaranteed
Still 90
Well kill my existing curiosity
Hmm, well it's enough for 1 denial
I just wanted to state that Elio’s sing is not reliable as in guaranteed
you just need to stop the Heal Order

Hau is so cool
tho
so much more readable
very satisfying to look into
you fdont have Volkner is that correct nyla?
no
I would say
EX Hau and Raichu
EX Support
Flincher at 30% and above
how many times we gonna establish this 
i know 😭
horse
what happens when random people chime in without reading a full convo 
For the EX support, ssb works
Tho I would consider exing sabrina and use her instead
i literally need 5 more CS spirits to ex someone 
Honestly I like Sabrina but she isn't very bulky
she can be very frail especially if she doesnt have sentry entry
yeah i gave her vigilance
I am late probably, but I failed to mention to have that support give Hau +3 Crit. Woops 😅
Mhm.....your Normal type Giovanni is not EX
im aware, school got in the way
What you got for EX supports
Or they ready helped you on that?
.
they have got teams already, please read the full convo before attempting to help
Dw, they never handed out his
for free
It’s not that uncommon to have an unexed c!gio
Oh, I am assuming they said.
Normal Giovanni
Water Blue
Electric Hau
oh sweet haha
those sync-up pairs, like bugsy, misty, blue, and giovanni only got raised to 5
0/20.
from event rewards
(Kali and helena)
erasure
i seriously forgor
them too, but they aren't "sync-up" pairs
o
Hm... They were tagalongs in seasonals rather than having their own dedicated Team-Up events huh
that and they started at 3 
their events sucked to grind too Helena being the worst one for me
Hope this team is good enough for ice weak special CS 
you'll be fine...
Oh right I haven't change grid to blizzard build lusamine
What's the point of flying stiker?
Johto spirit
So... Roxie is something...
How many times you had to sync
well its R1 (Sync Buff+ Parameter) w/ 4 Sync Buffs...
otherwise it might just deal 8-10k Sync Dmg without the round parameter
Won't you have MG issues with that team
What issue?
Move gauge?
Ssethan just gonna hit once in 2 turns
Eusine and Ethan are both very gauge friendly and kris has gauge accel
Gonna use tm aeroblast tm aeroblast
Sskris got racing rain
Also ssethan help set up aoe whirlpool for trap
So eusine can just blizzard
Your teams are unusual to me. But hey. If it works. It works.
Not sure which part is unusual, but ok 
This team gauge is way harder than that team
As 0 speed buffs and speed passives
Eusine gain 1 gauge with every enemy hit, ssethan hit once in 2 turns, sskris give team speed when hit plus racing rain
Compared to what I've cooked with the Ice CS Event... mine is more unusual and a somewhat harder chance to win XD...
I'd say only the Lorelei one is a bit sketchy
God darn it. I need irida and glaceon or Nessa and Ice Face
the other ones not so much
Im a stubborn guy, i refuse to use non legendaries/mythicals/UBs
so i came up with those teams
Lorelei lapras team is pretty based
You have this team instead?
I mean... Idiot me does this ahead of time and still made an unoptimal team to run
(its just more I wanna run these cuz "faves", not that they would work well)
(Not that you need status conditions when using SS N)
Don't have it and never will
f2p you can't have everything...
- says the idiot (me) who is 298/400 on the Irida Banner and still hasn't gotten her
Rosanta isn’t very good anyway 
This then?
I don't have Holiday Rosa
Everyone has different roster

also... I can see the Flinch synergy shit with the 2 stevens but I wanna run the Summer Steven and X Mas Nessa Hail team against Drake since Drake has the weird Sandstorm gimmick
although Double Candice is an alt option
Nessa’s flinch chances are higher than Lisia anyway
You tried splitting up the two hail setters you have
I don't know what you have, just assuming the best. 😊
I see 4 DPS and 1 poison stall
Is there any of Pla5ma team that use poison though?
That is my suggestion. That's what i ment by that
I would split but running double Candice is funny
& yeah Drake's Sandstorm gimmick...
also, my roster is big but not that strong (f2p, started since 1st Anni)
the teams are just the different teams I'm familiar, used and run in different CS Ice Weaks (except the Champion team, its a bit new)
Oh because you said, you see...and all i can see here was Pla5ma teams and my teams, both doesn't use poison so i confused
CS Oldies (back during the 7.5k era) recognize the familiar Ghetsis, Pryce, Sycamore people love/hate to run for Ice Weaks back in those days
even though the team has the familiar Gauge issue, Im already used to it (+ maybe the buffs on Ghetsis kinda solve but we'll see)
Ghetsis having glaciate mg9 and glaciate mg3 does helps
You should try to split them up.
That's what I would do. Mines are unfinished though.
One way to get around the gauge problem is to have Ghetsis focus on his sync nuke-- which means using 2bar Noble Roar instead of 4bar Glaciate on three of his turns
for candice, I would recommend using a flincher/sleep pair so she doesn't have to take many hits after mid dies
Anyone else has high freeze rate?
pryce lmao
I wouldn't advise you to rely on freeze for the mandatory status condition. I would just straight up replace pryce with some paralysis utility unit if you're using ghetsis on cmarnie
thanks! I'll just leech off this image to build my teams 
You want me to use Ghetsis as the Striker ? That's what your recommending
yeah. have you tried using ghetsis as sole dps yet? so much better teambuilding wise
- he has paralysis multipler too
Does the physical damage reduction round act the same way as the move
I.e you can pierce it with crit
Or N's ability
The 50 pt is the same as reflect and can been pierced with crit, but not Piercing Blows
The 100 pt one is a flat 80% reduction and cannot be bypassed
Oh yeah, that’s also the same as reflect, so this
Its basically Reflect at the start and ruins quad queue
Zinnia does not work for me vs Lucian. It could be because I don't have Weathered Warrior or Critical Strike
Who are you using?
SS Morty and Skyla as supports. SS Morty tanks
Replace Skyla with another Flying dmg dealer
How will my Zinnia survive? She needs defensive buffs
Be sure to make sun available when SS Morty uses TM and fish for TM MPR to max Zinnia crit
SS Morty already provides defensive buffs
Fish?
Means reset until Morty gets TM MPR
Ah
So that he can max crit
You don't have EX Blue and Pigeot?
Do I need Sunny Day TM Refresh
Yes I do, but I'm still thinking Zinnia
Why would they EX Blue if the game gave them boosted Zinnia for free
Blue does 8K to 11K on his hurricane after support EX Sync
Zinnia outdamages that
...How does Blue use Hurricane if you gave the first sync to a support
Thats even worse than Zinnia
And wait, who should I sync with first
Zinnia
Zinnia needs Mega to use Dragon Ascent
She plays very similarly to Blue in that particular way
Both needs to sync first, but Zinnia output is way better
Of course
If you can quad queue, try using pre sync param sets first
Not sure which one is statistically better.
You can sync with Blue 1st then sync with support ex
Or like I did sync with support ex then sync with ex blue
Only if you're not going for a presync clear, really
Six turns is a long time for Blue to be without his attack move
At that point he's not even a Striker, he's a really terrible Tech
No sync multiplier to compensate
You are constantly giving bad advice middknight
I am giving the advice of what I did
||Kinda disrespectful to techs tbh
||
So who should I use? I don't have SS Ethan
A physical dmg dealer preferly
Zinnia and a weather unit
Zinnia, she is mathematically better, I checked the calcs
Wait i thought you were asking for the third in Zinnia team
Like Nate?
Is Ingo available?
Which I have
Yes
Oh thats better
Ingo is a great support for Zinnia, since she looooves weather
Ingo, Zinnia and a physical dmg dealer
Ingo > SS Morty?
Ingo doesnt need rng to max crit
Hm, SSMorty is also a strong contender
But thats not an optimal way to use him. Please think carefully before helping someone
Flying phys attackers... There's also Darach and Gladion.
Gladion's awful but I'd have to stop and consider whether he or Nate is worse...
That sounds good
I'm uncomfortable with Kahili since she either needs the sync (which Zinnia is hogging) or her counterattack
Be careful with Brave Bird tho, only use it when mid is down so that he can clear sides
You shouldnt touch Beak Blast at first place
Yeah, counterattacks being two-turn moves is oooooof
Kahili is still an option, but she can only sync after Zinnia
Striker Skyla?
is Nate an option
Yes but so is throwing the phone into a lake
Ingo Zinnia Darach is looking good
Give Zinnia the first sync so she can get Dragon Ascent
Ingo isn't EX
You can get extra points with the crit shield handicap and just have Darach blow it away with Defog
Who gives a shit if he's not syncing?
Its fine, more reason to use Darach sync after Zinnia
What are the free 150 points? No crits?
I'm not really sure how Defog works on crit shield since the mainline equivalent is Lucky Chant, which couldn't be defogged
But it does, so ez points
Defog does remove crit shield here
Ye
Its a field effect her so makes sense
I don't know how or why but it does
also, I think even a Grid Expand won't save Nate XD (+50 HP Node I guess)
Can it blow away gauge accel, actually 
He needs Soaring Countdown 1 to be good
Or that weird Reduced Unity Gain effect in that one EX Plaza
iirc it cant
Not on your side but on the opponent it can
Can't check whether it removes Stealth Rock since I don't think any enemy uses it here...
Really? Now I wanna see it
Well fuck Zinnia died to sync
You dont want to take mid sync
The enemy is living long enough to sync?
And she's only Level 130
130 should be more than enough
Do I have to list them all
Try using pre sync param set pinned here
...I keep thinking I'll prep teams for next week and then remember we need the datamine to see what next week is
I prepped teams for the ice-stravaganza
Im planning an off-type run (w/ the same clause I run) for the Ice CS Event if I wanna do a rerun...
probably while patiently waiting for Datamine
Drake's the only E4 from a hard league. Gonna have to see how the Marnie fight shakes out
I might use 1 ice damage dealer for each E4
Marnie stage is designed for SS N / Ghetsis so just bring them
Do they have the passive that demands a status condition?
Yes
C. Marnie has Healthy Advantage 4
That does complicate this. Thank you, I might need to rethink a team or two.
Or Pika-nuke it.
Healthy advantage needs status, right?
Ye
another notable would be the Ramming Speed & Inertia
Off type here I come.
Ssn here I come
Does the entire enemy team have Healthy Advantage or just the boss
I think C. Marnie is moreso made for Irida's 3/5
Because Irida has Icy Wind along with Satisfied Snarl
Physical and Special Damage Reduction, Def 1, No Status Conditions, Strength 1, Sync Buff 5, Max HP 2, Ally Healing 5, Power on Hit 1, Strength 2, Ally Move Gauge 2, Strength 6.
Does irida status

I think you can afford to add Special Reduction 8 and Standard Reduction 8
You can subtract some other stuff if you add those
Actually, now that I think about it, it's more like a combo of SS N and Irida for C. Marnie because she has Lessen Paralysis 5
Your main offense is Dragon Ascent, Brave Bird, and then the second sync going to Darach. That's all ontype (so Standard Reduction 8 doesn't bite it) and phys (so Special Reduction 8 doesn't bite it either)
Why Def./Sp. Def. +1?
I'm doing 1800 pointz
Add the two I suggested and you can probably remove Strength1 and/or Strength2 for an easier fight
I don't think this team has any Interferences either, so you can add Interference immunity for free
Also Critical Shield. Darach can just Defog it away
Lotsa free points lying around here
You might even be able to cut away Power Up On Hit
I feel like for the first time I may have found a flying monotype team that sorta works for me
R1: Permanent field effects
R2: Use status conditions and other conditions against all opponents
R3: Make use of special damage reduction to battle opponents with high Sp. Atk.
R4: Use physical attack moves against opponents with low defense
Champion: Use powerful moves quickly and constantly against all opponents
Ice on type for neo champion stadium is going to be painful
Wouldn't hurt right?
RIP my game just won't open
These aren’t even ice types
Well there's an almost ice type
Thanks game I really appreciate you
you chose to go with Optimize, now deal with it 
She unfroze right as candice synced

BLIZZARD PHEROMOSA COOKED
Is there an entry x2 this special cs?
Drake
I KNEW IT
Wise
Just use hala
Ugh steven it is
Or candice
I need someone to hail too
A special stadium?! gives up before attempting
I only have 2 hailers 😦
Me who used sun
Steven wants hail tho
Does Brycen even do damage?
Huge Lusamine clutch
Ugh, my ice roster is pretty pathetic that I'm actually tempted to pull for SS N
Don'ttt
Just pull ss silver
Koha and Drake are round 1 🤔
If you want ice lol
So are we going off type for this special stadium or do we need to have 1 Ice striker/tech pair that can deal dmg?

Either him or irida
no, super effective is not mandatory
You can off type if you want
Off course it would work lol unless you pick standard damage reduction
Oh that param
there is also just poison stall as an option as usual
Ontype SCS: Ice
[R1 - Agatha] SSKris EX, Pryce, 1/5 Melony
- post sync bullshit
[R2 - Shauntal] Sycamore EX, BPCandice, Lusamine - blizzard spam
[R3 - Drake] 2/5 CRed EX, Candice, 1/5 Adaman - funny turn skip + debuff spam
[R4 - Koga] Leaf EX, 1/5 SSN EX, 1/5 CIris/Masked Royal - n dps n nuke
[R5 = CMarnie] 1/5 SCJasmine EX, Ghetsis EX, 2/5 PSerena - standard ghetsis team
And that's just my planning.
I really don't need any luck. I was just trying to ontype the entire thing.
I got loads of wildcards like sstred and sslyra in my back pocket.
Alright, R1 Drake and R2 Shauntal, that much is clear...
...but whom for R3 and R4?
We're in the same boat, then
I'm investing on some of my ice carries
you could easily poison stall and/or offtype some of the easier stages if you're worriied about your ice type options
last resort: poison stall
if not, who are you thinking of using rn?
Because I have uber teams for like half the types in the game
Ice however is extremely limited
yeah. ice types is one of the more lacking types, so might as well try to actually challenge myself this time, especially if I have the uber supports to do so
Oh, I am just trying to decide who to pick for R3 and R4 for that special Ice-weak CS with Neo Champ Marnie
what are your remaining teams rn? choosing parametes optimally depends on that
just plan/play them as you usually do with ontype teams
Well, for R1 Drake, I planned to use either Candice or BP Candice so I can save Irida for R5
choose pre/post sync params and play accordingly
R2 Shauntal would obviously use a flincher
you need status on champ
irida is not enough
it's the reason why I saved ghetsis for cmarnie, as he has paralysis multipliers
But before I do: is Agatha or Koga the one with the low defense
Yeah, that was my plan
If you can overwrite his sandstorm ye
low defense? I see both of them equally low on defense...
agatha may have higher base hp, but she uses her tm after sync, which removes hp
...Agatha has the higher Sp. Atk then, right?
If yes, then she could be R3
more like both agatha and koga uses sp atk moves
What does B/Ds means in 📌
buffs/debuffs
I'm gonna try to legit on-type this despite the limited ice units I have
Oh tyty
Hmmmmmmmmmm...
you could work of what I have, though I am mostly using unconventional teams 
@verbal karma could you also pull up all your paralysis pairs?
Can Candice deal good dmg with on type?
Which Candice?
Candice Froslass
Round 1 is drake correct 🤔
Or Abomasnow if she can deal dmg(?)
sabrina, ghetsis, pserena is a staple team. you could replace sabrina with a more fitting support depending on what you do, since this team was originally made before ghetsis' power boost
oh wow ssbrendan 
yeah you should use OP support (SSbren, Sabrina, etc.) , ghetsis, pserena on cmarnie
...wait, hold on
perfectly counters marnie's "Healthy Advantage 4 & Speed Based Damage Multipliers"
Ghetsis has paralysis multiplier?
...huh...somehow missed that one
...damn, that means I need to make a third grid for him now
it's fine. it doesn't affect much in the grand scheme of things due to his insane nuke
That’s the same as ramming Spd
if u really want to not build another grid, the standard nuke grid should suffice, especially if u got him exed, which u do
Damn SS Silver is actually doing pretty good dps wise
Forgot to even touch his B Move
Which pairs are good to pair Brendan with? Any speed boosting supports?
wait really? damn ig para syn does add mroe dps than I realized
which breanda, and why are you asking for brendan?
Brendan Sceptile and I’m trying to go offtype with Drake
Alright, since I won't be using Irida in R5 after all, I can use Irida on R1 Drake instead

use a sun team. skyla, brendan, blaine is a staple
if you have any better sun pair, use them
...damn, is Wulfric really the only ice-type who can flinch?
if u want to use another hail unit in this cs, you might want to consider saving that pair for r1 instead
Man, I fucking hate Drake's EQ
Hmm...good point...though I don't know where else I would want to use Hail...
Back to the topic of R2, though, is this a good grid for Wulfric?
I have to off type one of them don’t i
Off typing is easier than using wulfric
😦
You have 4 teams there, and BpCandice is good too
You could use Gladion
Forgot he existed
Oh, forgot about him lol
So I’m fine?
With on type
Oh yeah, I forgot Gladion can flinch💀
Got decent supports for all of these I’d say
Gladion cannot flinch
WOO managed to get all my non MC ice types into the Hall of fame aww yiss
Fuck man, Drake's EQ is critting my Ghetsis every fucking time
Is poison considered a status condition?
Wait so what does R2 affect?
I mean I guess it should
Use Freeze on R2
I'm still on R1 😮💨
Oh 
Holy fuck, Drake is the most annoying
