Champion Stadium

[sand karma]

Ouch

[hidden monolith]

5/5 pretty sure, the abomasnow one?

[toxic cobalt]

Yeah, good, that's one stage

[hidden monolith]

She's level 100, and I don't have any materials

since I levelled everyone to at least 100

[toxic cobalt]

Okay good

Good level

[hidden monolith]

Oh really

I'll grid her

CS2 for LS?

Can't get ww3

[toxic cobalt]

Yes CS2 is fine

[hidden monolith]

I ran out of candies, got superduper effective 1

[toxic cobalt]

So what are the 5 teams you are lookin gat?

[sand karma]

One Adaman offtype ig

One Bulu carrying Gladion?

[hidden monolith]

Gladion doesn't have anything useful on grid, only 2/5

[sand karma]

Spatk support+ Ghetsis + Lucian for Marnie

[hidden monolith]

Can he do that on mm?

[toxic cobalt]

You can run a double candice team as a third

and then a poison team for round 2

[hidden monolith]

O

okay I'll try it

Who should be the third with double candice

[toxic cobalt]

Anyone who can raise speed and spdef?

What about Elio?

[grand trout]

Sycamore?

[hidden monolith]

Can do that

Adaman solo got me 1.4k

Might have to use a 3rd with Gladion and Acerola

I used hop

poison stall doesnt seem to work

[swift swan]

What happened? What was the team and are you using the right parameters for poison stall?

[sick inlet]

If you're talking Bertha

She's tough this week

Too much dmg

[swift swan]

I assume this is ice-weak CS

[hidden monolith]

Ice

I used lucy janine and aaron

[sick inlet]

Vs?

[hidden monolith]

Koga

[sick inlet]

Koga can poison you too

[swift swan]

Hmm, you're using the proper params for stall right?

[swift swan]

Yeahh this is also a thing to be wary of

[hidden monolith]

yeah

but that's not a problem, I'll just use each candice for the last 2 fights

[old orchid]

Do you have BP Morty available? Aaron is slow at buffing defenses and only has one time heal

[vestal onyx]

Need some help beating Aaron nm, right photo are units I’ve already used

[old orchid]

i assume your Hau is 3/5?

[vestal onyx]

1/5

[old orchid]

can you raise him to 3/5 at least?

wait you dont have Volkner, so i think its best to use poison stall

[swift swan]

Yeah, no volkner hurts

[vestal onyx]

What poison stall units

Do I use?

I’m sorry for ping!

Forgot to turn it off

[old orchid]

have you known about basic poison stalling guides?

[vestal onyx]

Unfortunately, is there a place I can read up on them?

[vestal onyx]

Unfortunately I only have one candy so 2/5 at best I think

[swift swan]

#1097597679015567420 message

[old orchid]

basically you need:
a tank, preferly who can heal and has defense buffs
an unit who can inflict badly poison
if the second slot can also inflict trap the third is someone that can debuff offensive stats like Janine

[swift swan]

A bit of a text wall but very informative

[swift swan]

It's fine, you have no electric terrain so let's just do poison stall

So, are you fighting Aaron on R4?

[vestal onyx]

Yup

I can interchange him to be on any rounds

My order was Bertha flint and lucian

2.5k on both Bertha and flint but only 1.5 on lucian

[vestal onyx]

Thank you for the link

[hushed sorrel]

I just did my first poison stall on Bertha it was quite interesting lol

[vestal onyx]

Can I ask if allistar would be a good unit for poison stall?

For Aaron that is

[old orchid]

he isnt

you want to use someone that can inflict bad poison

Lucy and BP Erika are the most accessible options

[vestal onyx]

Does the filters take into account for passive skills?

[old orchid]

sadly no

[vestal onyx]

I don’t think ss leaf was in the option when I tried to filter it

Yikes

[vestal onyx]

Is koga a Gacha unit?

[old orchid]

he is a story unit

[vestal onyx]

So the only way to raise his move would be thru candies?

[old orchid]

yeah

for poison stalling he doesnt need copies much

since his job is just inflicting poison

i would use BP Erika or Lucy over him

since both have trap so that the third slot is open for a debuffer

[tribal agate]

you remind me i have to manually add Oleana to that since she's an extremely special case

[old orchid]

oh right, i was going to tell you about her case

[vestal onyx]

Does badly poison and poison stack?

[tribal agate]

no

[old orchid]

no

[vestal onyx]

I see

[tribal agate]

since one enemy can have only one condition at a time

so nothing stacks

[vestal onyx]

Is there a reason to use both at the same time?

Of normally I should only place one badly poison user in a team

[old orchid]

only use one of them

thats why i said or

[old orchid]

using one of them means you can use an offensive debuffer like Janine

since Venom Drench debuffs atk, spatk and speed per use

[hidden monolith]

Who can be on a team with BP Candice? against Koga

Supports

[old orchid]

idk about your roster

so just a spatk/crit support

[hidden monolith]

ah okay

[old orchid]

the third could be Pryce or any special Ice dmg dealer

since she appreciates dual strike

[hidden monolith]

My price is bad

Pryce

Price💀

[old orchid]

is he at least 3/5?

[hidden monolith]

nope

[old orchid]

can you raise him to 3/5?

[hidden monolith]

Can be 3/5

I can't give him a LS tho

[old orchid]

its fine

[hushed sorrel]

Gg now I need some help with Cynthia haha

[old orchid]

based on your support, Sycamore or Sabrina works best

[old orchid]

post your Fighting units here

[hidden monolith]

Who should be the 3rd?

[vestal onyx]

Would scyamore+ ghetesis + Bp Erika in the stall team from the guide, could I ask what is the role of ghetesis?

[hidden monolith]

Pryce/Candice/?

[keen jasper]

A support

[hidden monolith]

who tho..

[hushed sorrel]

Debuff

[hidden monolith]

I need a tank that can also buff crit and spatk

[hushed sorrel]

Lower attack so you can last longer

[old orchid]

[keen jasper]

Talking to myself

[old orchid]

Ghetsis is there to debuff opponents' offensive stats, you can replace him with Janine

[hidden monolith]

Can Piers work?

Or melony?

[old orchid]

#1009554906568462476 message

[hidden monolith]

what ;-;

[hidden monolith]

Oh

but can they tank?

[old orchid]

click on the link, i dont want to repeat the answer one more time

yes

[hidden monolith]

If I want to use sycamore I'll have to disable the super effective damage only thingy

otherwise horn leech would not heal enough

[old orchid]

with regen and spdef debuffs he can stand Koga's attacks

grid him Adrenaline and sync with him first

[hidden monolith]

who can debuff

;-;

also

[vestal onyx]

Since hope is getting an ex soon, would he be able to replace scyamore? Or is scyamore better over hops?

[hidden monolith]

Pryce would not have max crit

[quaint solar]

They are both really good

[old orchid]

oof i meant buffs

[old orchid]

Hop isnt a stalling tank

he is an offensive support

[hidden monolith]

well Okay somehow did it

[old orchid]

i would save him for another offensive team rather than on stall

[hidden monolith]

I don't even need a tank

[vestal onyx]

Since I’m quite new and resources are limited, was just thinking of raising. Him instead since he’s more versatile? But I’m not sure if he can get the job done instead of scyamore

[hidden monolith]

For Marnie

[old orchid]

i would use Skyla and BP Morty over him

[old orchid]

she has Healthy Advantage 4 and speed buff related multipliers so the perfect counter is Ghetsis/SS N

[hidden monolith]

Ghetsis/Lucian/?

I don't have SS N

[vestal onyx]

Oh?Bp morty over scayamore? Or hop

[hidden monolith]

Also what buff do I pick for champion marnie

or it doesn't matter that much

[old orchid]

both

[old orchid]

you mean round parameter?

[old orchid]

you havent used Sycamore right?

[hidden monolith]

I did

[quaint solar]

Pick the status 1

[hidden monolith]

U really told me to do that

[hidden monolith]

It does not appear for this week ig

[old orchid]

oh right, i thought you didnt used him

Sabrina is Dark weak so its a problem

[hidden monolith]

I'll just try Roxanne

[hidden monolith]

yup

and she's not that bulky

[old orchid]

then you have to reset for Ghetsis' TM to max crit

[hidden monolith]

He is gridded with that anyways

But yeah

[old orchid]

for round parameter i would use the R3

[hidden monolith]

Yup I cleared it wven without him maximg crit

Ty<3

Woah so many gems

[old orchid]

[compact yoke]

What should I be gridding xerneas with for this run Ice Cs Marnie

[quaint solar]

Is it EX 🤔

[compact yoke]

Yes

[quaint solar]

What you do you use the most? Horn leech or the 2 bar fairy move 🤔

[compact yoke]

Well I wanna use whichever one is recommended for stage, I was switching between moomblast to lower SP Atack and horn leech for small healing

[old orchid]

Just the usual Adrenaline grid

So that you can do quad queue without being ruined by Team Shout

[compact yoke]

Ahh I wasn’t doing adrenaline I think more of a tanky build

[old orchid]

Every build of him is already tanky build

[toxic cobalt]

You have Ghetiss why are you debuffing with Sycamore

Also Janine!

Everyone can debuff

[wicked pebble]

How does this look for this week?

[mellow linden]

I’m personally skeptical of how well Hop + Palentine’s Marnie can handle things without a Steel damage-dealer to back them up with more consistently high regular move damage, but if you’re confident in their ability to pull it off then you should be fine

[patent torrent]

Am I doing something wrong to try and fight drake first

I thought I could get him by setting hail forever but I do no damage to him no matter what team I use whether it's on or off type

[mellow linden]

Are you using physical damage-dealers?

[sinful garden]

He has wise entry x2

[patent torrent]

I've tried with SS Giovanni off type, SS silver on type, ss Steven off type, kyurem on type, and SS Ethan off type

[sinful garden]

Ss silver should be able to do it

Ghetsis and other special damage dealers not so much

[patent torrent]

He does 300 damage a hit on triple axel

I'm pairing him with bp Candice and ex leaf

[mellow linden]

He’s not getting his buffs fast enough with that team

[nocturne pawn]

arent his buffs pretty slow on that

leaf doesnt buff without sync

[mellow linden]

Do you have a 3/5 Hilbert or 3/5 Sonia?

[sinful garden]

Leaf is not a good support for him

No crit buffs and the buff is too slow

Bp candice there is also doing no damage

[wicked pebble]

Sorry, stepped away.

[patent torrent]

I have 3/5 ex Sonia and 5/5 not ex hilbert

I would post my thing but it's at home I'm at work RN

[sinful garden]

Id use sonia

[patent torrent]

I just have Candice for the hail idk if regular is better

[sinful garden]

If you dont have silver gridded for hail you are better off using something else

And saving bp candice for another stage

[patent torrent]

He's 1/5

I could try using a rain team with urshifu

[sinful garden]

Hail doesnt have an innate ice boost

[nocturne pawn]

he only gets heavy hail from grid right

[sinful garden]

Silver will do better

[patent torrent]

It blocks the sandstorm though

[sinful garden]

And invigorating hail

[patent torrent]

That's why I'm using hail

[mellow linden]

Would need some form of weather against Drake, yeah

[nocturne pawn]

just use a different weather

candice is actually pretty valuable

[patent torrent]

I'll try rain

[sinful garden]

Just bring a different one

Anything thats not sand

[mellow linden]

But if SS Silver isn’t gridded for Hail you can just use Winona or something

[sinful garden]

Its 1/5

[mellow linden]

So yeah, Winona

[wicked pebble]

People still on?

I'm considering waiting u til tomorrow since I wanna try to get Liza too.

And altering teams to use her and Tate.

[patent torrent]

I'll just have to post my screen grab when I get home cause I don't do any damage to them

Is Drake the best to do first or should I do someone else and save him for later

I can do someone without wise entry and weather

Just don't want to be screwed over by leaving him for last

[quaint solar]

Drake is a tough fight.
Drake is weak against physical
The other 3 are weak against Special
I would say depends your the 5 teams
I personally did him in Round 3

[patent torrent]

I'm also doing 2.5k off of the standard post sync grids for on type / off type atk and spatk

If that's important to know

[nocturne pawn]

r1 is imo the best way to counter him especially if you’re using hail reliant units like candice

[mellow linden]

I gave my assessment earlier

[mellow linden]

This, in case it got buried

Oh, wait, I forgot Eusine wants weather

So maybe replace one Support on that team with a Rain setter

[compact yoke]

Idk lmao I was just debugging with em all

[patent torrent]

alright

[toxic cobalt]

Stacked roster

[zealous karma]

Ive never seen such a large image for this before

[patent torrent]

Nothing I've tried works 😭

[nocturne pawn]

you are changing the weather right

hala should be an easy clear with a weather change

[paper summit]

are you sure you are not picking parameters you are not supposed to? because doing no damage no matter what you try makes no sense

[patent torrent]

The only damage reduction I have is special damage reduction 8

[toxic cobalt]

Tried for what exactly?

[patent torrent]

2.5k drake

[toxic cobalt]

What team what round?

[patent torrent]

I've tried quite a few teams, round one

[nocturne pawn]

he has 30% damage reduction in sand because of sand superiority

you have to change the weather on him else its gonna be painful

[toxic cobalt]

Have you tried say Hala Skyla Winona?

Presync

[patent torrent]

Dj Gloria / ss blue / may, dj Gloria / ss Kris / misty,

[toxic cobalt]

You’re off typing?

[nocturne pawn]

hala is an easy clear for any of these stages

[patent torrent]

Ss silver didn't work

[old orchid]

i would use Hala

[patent torrent]

I haven't tried hala

I'll try Hala

What support should I use

Yamper?

[old orchid]

try the team Aurochs sent earlier

[toxic cobalt]

^

[patent torrent]

Ah ok

[old orchid]

and use the pre sync param set pinned here

[vast dome]

From what I've read, Drake cannot be Round 4, save Ghetsis for Marnie.

Poison is present for Agatha, Drake and Shauntal

Considering these are my strongest strikers, should I go Shauntal, Drake, Koga and Agatha in that order?

[toxic cobalt]

Round 2 is poison round, keep that in mind

[old orchid]

save R1 for a team that uses hail, and R3 for Koga, Agatha or Shauntal

R3 param ruins quad queue if you aim to pre sync, note that

[sacred mountain]

Is help for Special CS also in this channel or is there a separate one?

[old orchid]

you can ask about it here

[vast dome]

OK

Is Drake Round 2 OK?

[old orchid]

R2 is better to use stall team like Aurochs said

[sacred mountain]

I just wanted to ask which ones are better to off type

[old orchid]

everyone can be offtyped if you know what to do

[sacred mountain]

My ice units r HoLeon ghetsus Irida

[old orchid]

dont ignore 3 and 4*

both Candice are really good

[sacred mountain]

Haven't built Candace and pryce

Yet

I can tho

[old orchid]

Pryce can be ignored tbh

invest on both Candice

do you have Hala?

[sacred mountain]

Uhh

I think so lemme see

[cinder summit]

Hala & Crabominable

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Alola)

Alternates:

None

[sacred mountain]

I rlly should do the tracker thing

[old orchid]

yeah go ahead

separate your roster by roles and order by type

[sacred mountain]

Does the tracker work on pc

[old orchid]

yes

[toxic cobalt]

Hala is a really good option, Candices are great if you can build around their weaknesses (eg. Run both together)

[vast dome]

Is Drake Round 2 OK?

[toxic cobalt]

Piplup this question has been answered multiple times

[vast dome]

I didn't read

[old orchid]

[sacred mountain]

hala is 2/5

[old orchid]

doesnt matter, he gets Haymaker at 2/5

[patent torrent]

Does Hala need to be ex

[old orchid]

No

So you cant pre sync, switch to post sync param then

Save a Rain Dance for replacing sand after Drake first sync

[patent torrent]

should i give him haste or cs2

[tired sleet]

CS2

TLDR: The way the gauge formula works means that Haste/Sudden Sprint is nearly useless on him

[patent torrent]

He isn't doing enough damage

[old orchid]

Did you do triple queue properly?

[patent torrent]

i cant double queue his speed is too low

[old orchid]

Grid Skyla with Gust MGR9

Wait, i notice he only has +2 crit

[patent torrent]

once i use both graceful aerobatics theres not enough gauge to use both air slash and ice hammer

[old orchid]

He needs 3 crit

Is Skyla gridded?

[patent torrent]

yeah

[old orchid]

If not, grid her this and TM MPR and potion stuff

Spend first sync cycle to buff Hala

Make sure he has +3 crit and +6 atk

You want your dmg dealers have max crit

[patent torrent]

idk what to take instead of techs 3x damage so winona doesnt get oneshot by the 3 aoe moves

is her flinch important

[toxic cobalt]

Winona will be doing most of the flinching

[patent torrent]

That's what I mean is it important that she flinches

If I take 3x tech damage then she dies to sync

If I take interference immunity she can't flinch

[toxic cobalt]

Don’t take either of those

[patent torrent]

those are the postsync parameters in the pins

[toxic cobalt]

Don’t do postsync

[patent torrent]

presync doesnt work

[patent torrent]

.

[toxic cobalt]

Well I suppose Skyla can do it

But just replace those parameters with strength

[patent torrent]

I just traded in my 4*s and exed him

Ty for the help

Onto the other ones

[wicked pebble]

Alright, teams redone a bit with Liza out. How does this look?

[zealous karma]

I’m curious we’re you not tapping rain dance for Winona?

[zealous karma]

Also the param doesn’t effect sync only damaging moves

[patent torrent]

I was but she died

[zealous karma]

I see

[patent torrent]

Rest of the stadium was easy peasy just the drake fight was unnecessarily difficult for some reason

And now I have EX Hala for Alola stuff ig which never hurts

[keen jasper]

I'm still wondering who fully on-typed all of this special CS

[paper summit]

I was close, only offtyped one

mostly because I completely forgot to use Gladion somewhere

[patent torrent]

Are there even 15 ice units

[paper summit]

doubt they meant monotype

besides, more often than not, limiting your teams to be only one type isn't gonna yield great results

[patent torrent]

My mono fire water psychic bug and electric teams do pretty good

[sand karma]

I just assumed most vet to 6 month players could on type

[patent torrent]

But yeah I know what you mean

[zealous karma]

It was me

[paper summit]

I mean, some teams happen to end up working well, but nothing to do with them being monotype

their kits just have the synergy

[zealous karma]

Gladion can only on type so I think this counts

[patent torrent]

Ah technically yeah it isn't mono psychic because ss Brendan is dragon

[paper summit]

yeah, it does, funny thing is I did plan to use the guy but ended up forgetting

[wicked pebble]

Um... any opinions on the teams I made?

[zealous karma]

I forced myself to use him I also wanted to use hala but couldn’t slot him anywhere (I wanted to complete overkill marnie)

I’m not sure I understand what’s happening in in the eusine team and why dawn is with Liza but otherwise they all seem fine

[wicked pebble]

Speed boosting.

I just like having speed boosting in most of my teams.

also, not really much to give Esuine aside from speed.

[zealous karma]

Eusine doesn’t need @uch but there’s no reason to not run him in rain

[wicked pebble]

maybe rain? Dunno if he benefits that much.

[zealous karma]

It’s a water type in rain it’ll boost as much as you’d expect jr too

[wicked pebble]

...Oh right, I have Champ Calem.

Gonna switch Skyla and Dawn around, just remembered that she benefits a lot from defense up.

Summer Liza, I mean

[wicked pebble]

Alright, for the ice stadium, time to figure out ice types to bring. Obvious picks would be N and Irida, of course, but...

Maybe BP Candice for one of them? Since we have a permanent weather rule?

Also, she's 5, ignore the stupid not ranking up thing.

[zealous karma]

Don’t use her against drake he has wise entry

But you have 5 teams there with Ssn ssilver irida Ghetsus and hala

[wicked pebble]

Hmm... Use a hail setter in one of those teams?

to take advantage of the first condition?

[zealous karma]

If you want to bring a hail setter and use a physical comp against drake that doesn’t sound like a bad idea but remember the round params are there as a benefit but not forced to play around them unless they’re buffing the enemy

[wicked pebble]

anyone else to worry about?

[keen jasper]

Well, Marnie has speed buff multipliers

And she has Healthy Advantage

[wicked pebble]

Healthy Advantage, that was status conditions needed, right?

[wicked pebble]

as in, to damage them properly

Hmm... Should I bring along Esuine for the champ battle then with some gauge support?

Trap everyone and spam Blizzard on the enemy team?

[grizzled cipher]

Think I may need some advice for Aaron R4 due to the lack of electric types in my lineup. I don't have many fighting types for cynthia either, but I'll worry about that when I get there, and I already poison stalled lucian so thats out.

I could rely on my grass lineup to bail me out. Adaman/SSAcerola/SSErika if worse comes to worse, my goal in total is to reach 10000 definitely want to reach higher though and I've already got 7000. But any advice would be appreciated.

[toxic cobalt]

If you have sycamore you can post sync with Sycamore and Hau

[grizzled cipher]

Yeah Old faithful, I could see that working.

Post sync off type params I suppose. Just need a good 3rd physical. which I think I have a lot of

[sinful garden]

Ontype

[grizzled cipher]

I literally have no good electric on type pokemon

I mean good ones for damage dealing anyways

definitely gonna pull on the next god tier electric banner to supplement that, since my goal right now is to buff up my weaker types.

[manic kiln]

people used Hau to clear Aaron way before the rats were released so he's decent

[grizzled cipher]

yeah out of them Hau would probably be the best I assumed, thats why I 130'd him, still need to grid him though

[sinful garden]

You were just told to use hau

[manic kiln]

og Elesa is good too with expanded grid but she needs 3/5. at 2/5 she only has inertia but can still clear some stages with the right supports

[toxic cobalt]

2/5 Clemont also missing nuke

[grizzled cipher]

I read hau as hop, my mistake

yeah not getting anywhere with hau, not built up enough

[grizzled cipher]

huh, guess I'm walled then, grass can't win either at 2500

[old orchid]

what is your Grass team

[grizzled cipher]

SSAcerola, Adaman, SSErika.

[old orchid]

i see the problem

[grizzled cipher]

lack of heal

[old orchid]

Aaron has double base defense

so physical dmg dealers are not effective

i would stick to your Electric team

what move level is your Hau?

do you have Electric Terrain?

[grizzled cipher]

hop/hau/sycamore isn't really cutting it though, 3/5 and no

[old orchid]

no ET?

[grizzled cipher]

not at all, my electric units are minimal

[old orchid]

well try stalling then

[grizzled cipher]

poison stalling team was used on lucian

[old orchid]

you can have more than 1 stall team

[grizzled cipher]

don't think I can poison stall with 2 teams considering I'm not that old of a player

[old orchid]

who did you use on Lucian?

[grizzled cipher]

lucy, skyla, janine

[old orchid]

do you have Skyla available?

wait i meant BP Erika

[grizzled cipher]

nope, I BP'd Surge and Morty so far

[old orchid]

BP Morty, Koga and Viola then

Morty needs Vigilance

[grizzled cipher]

welp lets see if I can land it in 3 cookies

got it in a tier 2 cookie thankfully

[old orchid]

what move level is he btw?

[grizzled cipher]

3, knew to use my candies on him

[old orchid]

great, use this grid for him

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/14800/42900?s=5&l=140&r=4&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggLExQVGCYoKSosLQ

[grizzled cipher]

sadly can't afford it since I wasted my sync orbs on hau, but i did invest a bit into morty already so can make most of it

[toxic cobalt]

He’s great for stall

Liza is also a spdef option

[grizzled cipher]

I'll give it a shake, worse comes to worse I'll drop down to 2k or 1500, just gotta make sure I get over 10k in the end anyways

[toxic cobalt]

Other stall ideas can be found at #1097597679015567420

[grizzled cipher]

sorta feels like I need that extra special defense buff from morty's trainer skill proc, which I can't afford due to being an orblet atm hahah.

but it was getting somewhere

[old orchid]

spatk debuff from Viola kinda makes up for no TM MPR

[grizzled cipher]

yeah it does

doesn't stop attack order from ruining me when he spams it though

[old orchid]

you can reset if he spams it too much

[grizzled cipher]

yeah I had to, shame since I was doing decent that round but then he did it 3 times like in a weird triple queue

damn third fail, guess i'll keep banging my head against this wall known as aaron.

gonna beat him for sure I'm too stubborn to quit lel

[toxic cobalt]

Classic Aaron

Gross the background detransparented

[grizzled cipher]

I really hate attack order

just gonna reset unless turn one poison kicks in

which for some reason it really doesn't wanna do ,

[fleet cove]

I'm still struggling with Bertha let me be more specific about my setup

• using On-Type Post-Sync parameters
• I'm at Round 4
• tried Solgaleo / Jasmine / Hop, but Solgaleo is weak against Ground. switched with Gloria and SS Giovanni too as well. I barely dent Bertha
• below posting my Steel-type sync pairs, and Support sync pairs too because you've suggested that switching Jasmine with some other support might work too... so here I go

[old orchid]

R4 is really good for poison stalling

[fleet cove]

poison stalling Bertha? never tried that but alright

my poison stall team is SS Leaf / Koga / Janine (Ariados). let's try this as well

[old orchid]

i would use BP Morty / Lucy / Janine

Bertha hits hard post sync and your initial team doesnt have defense buffs

[grizzled cipher]

morty's confuse ray came in clutch,stopped an attack order that led to a win

[old orchid]

[grizzled cipher]

confuse ray, poison and infestation really is a nasty combo when the confusion procs

now for cynthia.

[old orchid]

do you have Solgaleo available?

[fleet cove]

ow ow. really nasty

[grizzled cipher]

used him on bertha sadly

Did just get wally to 3 though today so maybe he'll work somehow

3/5

[old orchid]

Bea should clear her without much trouble if you have her

[grizzled cipher]

I do have her at 1/5

[old orchid]

use Wally then

have you used Hilbert?

[grizzled cipher]

I have him at 1/5 too

[old orchid]

doesnt matter much, since he is there just to max atk and Impervious

the third could be Bea or a defense debuffer

[fleet cove]

oh wow. 23K poison damage to Bertha is unreal

@old orchid thanks a lot!

SS Leaf / Janine / Emma solved it out

[grizzled cipher]

and offtype 2500'd cynthia with my grass squad. 12000 total, an improvement from last week for sure which was 10,800

not ghonna cry about 5 gold ticket vouchers though haha

[shell spade]

Am I being stupid or is Lucian hard to off type?
Usually using 3/5 moltres in a nuke spam comp is enough to 2.5 most off stages, however gallade takes like no damage from anything. Sides are melting and he's just chilling.

Even tried with the increased flinch chance build, but even when flinched he's taking the same amount of damage.

[grizzled cipher]

I poison stalled lucian, if you can do that then I'd go for it

Janine/Lucy/Skyla was the squad, only skyla was sync gridded

[old orchid]

You might turn on standard dmg reduction and/or special dmg reduction accidentally

Lucian has no gimmicks besides having high HP

[fleet cove]

is a team such as Champion Hop / SSA Cynthia / Cobalion too much offensive for Cynthia?

[shell spade]

Would you mind sending me your grids?

[old orchid]

Its the last team so you can go for any option

[grizzled cipher]

Janine and Lucy were gridless, Skyla had this grid.

[old orchid]

Its better to take out Staggering since you want opponents to move

[grizzled cipher]

used the 2500 poison stall params in the pins

true I just was lazy

[versed meteor]

It worked against Bertha somehow

[nocturne pawn]

is staggering additive or is it like mpr where it can roll twice

[old orchid]

it is like mpr

[trail smelt]

… nuts I haven’t made my team for Hoenn lol

[swift swan]

I don't plan teams until reset time

[weak sleet]

This should work for round 2 right?

[old orchid]

Yeah

[nocturne pawn]

who are you nuking with exactly

[spring fable]

do we know what cs region will it be next reset?

[nocturne pawn]

hoenn

channel pins for weaknesses

[spring fable]

oh thanks

[weak sleet]

I was trying darach since someone suggested that, but it wasn't working. So I just off typed with Adaman, Celebi, and shiny ho-oh.

[nocturne pawn]

you have no dps

so like

[grand trout]

Same

[nocturne pawn]

sides are probably killing you

thats what happened to me

its kind of annoying since all flying has atm are nukes for gen pool

[weak sleet]

Yeah

[grand trout]

Blue tho

[weak sleet]

I'm really tempted to use my paid gems to get celestela

[nocturne pawn]

hes also a nuke with pb

[mellow linden]

Well there’s also Blue, who until the 25th is the exact opposite of a Sync nuker

[nocturne pawn]

problem here is hurricane’s locked behind sync

[old orchid]

Darach has good dps but needs Standfast on grid to not die

[weak sleet]

But I'm waiting to see how blue is first

[old orchid]

I used the same team without much trouble

[mellow linden]

Come the 25th he’ll be a much more balanced Sync Pair

[grand trout]

Kahili is also a nuke right

[nocturne pawn]

yes

[weak sleet]

Hoenn tomorrow has the same problem, but I'm hoping I can off type that with the rats.

[nocturne pawn]

probably shouldnt have went full nuke but at least he was basically koing mid each time

[old orchid]

I nuked with LSerena

[grand trout]

I used anni skyla this week iirc

I have no dps but flinch is a funny thing

Would you guys rather offtype than use gladion?

[nocturne pawn]

yes

gladion stats are terribad

[grand trout]

Assuming physical ofc

[old orchid]

Gladion needs EX and zone boosting to be a solo dmg dealer

[grand trout]

Im the opposite

[nocturne pawn]

^

[old orchid]

If no zone boost use him with another ontype dmg dealer

[nocturne pawn]

i dont have a lot of zones and like

[grand trout]

Going offtype doesn't feel right to me

[nocturne pawn]

he also needs a ton of support

[old orchid]

Nah he just needs someone to +3 crit and +2 atk

[grand trout]

Does he have nuke nodes

[nocturne pawn]

uh

double down 3

he wants sp3 as ls

[old orchid]

He also has higher sync BP than most techs

[grand trout]

Ooh

[old orchid]

Because of being initial Normal type

[grand trout]

Yeah i think im set with gladion as nuke then lol

Mine is exed

But honestly i have better ontype for each types so he's used as a last resort for, say, wise entry x2 levels

[tame gust]

Oh shoot forgot to do CS this week.. been so busy with work and prepping for visitors for the 4th. Time to round up some nonsense

[onyx ice]

But has no innate 2x bonus unlike most techs

[old orchid]

you pinged me just for this?

[onyx ice]

Ah yes forgot in this server people get annoyed when you don't disable ping on reply

[old orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/pings-off-reply-pings-off-reply-ping-discord-reply-ping-gif-22087396

[onyx ice]

There's a way to keep ping on reply disabled? If I disable it from the reply it turns on again when o restart discord

[nocturne pawn]

no

[plush tangle]

should be off by default

[rotund lagoon]

Which dumb Discord doesn’t want to implement

[hidden ore]

I forgot to do this week
Tell me your strats for Lucian

Is r2 enough?
I need a Defense drop on him, right?

It’s so slow
Wanna get him quick by offtype

[rotund lagoon]

Just hit hard, I recommend Special more so you don’t have to worry about Df buffs, but Crit is supposed to bypass those anyway

He just has huge HP, so I’d focus on a DPS pair over a nuke pair.

[viral sapphire]

Help me with bertha here pls

Tried so many times with On type post sync params and also tried posion stall nothing seems to work.

I am on round 4. Is it bcoz of that i am failing?

Solgaleo dying in 1st sync everytime! 😭😭😭

[north crown]

first of all, image dump holy crap

[rotund lagoon]

Well, you don’t have any Df buffs for that team.

[quaint solar]

Is it your Parameters 🤔

[north crown]

second, I see that you got lots of uber pairs. shouldn't be that much of a problem

[rotund lagoon]

If fainting to sync is a problem, you need to apply defense buffs. What are your parameters btw?

[viral sapphire]

On type post sync in pins

[rotund lagoon]

Post sync, huh? Alright, then Defense buffs is absolute key.

I would switch Grimsley out cause gauge, you can use someone like SS Blue.

[viral sapphire]

Currently using this team.. for defence buff kindly suggest a team

[viral sapphire]

SS blue.. I used him🙄

Already in another team

[rotund lagoon]

Is Sonia or Hop available?

[viral sapphire]

Yup

[rotund lagoon]

Use one of them, if none are in another planned team

[viral sapphire]

Next one is champ fight..

[rotund lagoon]

Have you planned the team for that?

[viral sapphire]

For striker planning to use bea

Kindly suggest team for also

[quaint solar]

Bae might need A defensive Buff because her defensive stats are low

[rotund lagoon]

Bea, Sonia/Hop and a Df debuffer.

Maybe use Hop for the Bertha fight then Sonia for Cynthia’s

[viral sapphire]

Ok I ll try.. thank you

[hidden ore]

I try to do something, maybe r2 isn’t good for him?

I want to use rats for Aaron

I know there’s Skyla Blue team in replays, but that’s with added hps

[rotund lagoon]

Don’t look at the replay feature, it is not good in execution.

Are you on typing or off typing this match?

And what parameters are you using?

[hidden ore]

Offtyping this one

[rotund lagoon]

Ok so make sure to use the off type parameters if you have not.

[hidden ore]

I tried mixed presync with not satisfying results

I have problems with Flying types

I can work with steel or electric

[rotund lagoon]

What kind of problems?

[hidden ore]

Not so good enough dps roster

[rotund lagoon]

Regular Blue kills 12.5k for me

And I don’t even have zone or anything like that

[hidden ore]

Blue Skyla Falkner team from replays good with different parameters?

Different params than replay ofc

[rotund lagoon]

Yeah sure that team is fine. Do you know to sync with Blue first btw?

[viral sapphire]

Cleared bertha fight.. on to champ fight🥹

[hidden ore]

Didn’t know
I usually sync depending on teams

[rotund lagoon]

Ok! Sonia and Bea, and a Df debuffer like I suggested

[rotund lagoon]

Most pairs that have Mega or a form change upon sync want to sync first.

[hidden ore]

Presync parameter (tank friendly) is okay?

[rotund lagoon]

Yeah

[rotund lagoon]

Blue’s is especially needed due to Hurricane after Mega

Oh actually I have a question, do you have Lillie?

[old orchid]

I would use SS Elesa over Lillie

[rotund lagoon]

Why SS Elesa?

[nocturne pawn]

sync countdown and provides crit + acc and spatk

basically everything he needs and helps get his dps faster

[rotund lagoon]

Wouldn’t you want to use her TM after sync?

[old orchid]

Sync accelerating means quicker sync. With some mpr luck you can sync 3 times before opponents first sync

[rotund lagoon]

It’s a one use TM is the problem

[old orchid]

Get MPR

[viral sapphire]

Clemont magneton with screech will work right?

He also buff defence

[rotund lagoon]

Sonia buffs Atk and Df

[old orchid]

Cynthia uses special moves so spdef buffs from Clemont are good as well

It doesnt matter much since Bea eats her alive

[viral sapphire]

And cynthia seems to debuff our accuracy... Clemont cover that area as well

[viral sapphire]

Really? This is the 1st time using her fully grided 3/5

[hidden ore]

Thanks for parameter suggestion @rotund lagoon

Presync tank

[rotund lagoon]

Perfect

[hidden ore]

Now gonna kill Aaron with mice

[old orchid]

No need to ping me

With pre sync param she can oneshot Cynthia with first sync when you max her speed atk and crit

[nocturne pawn]

she almost fully nukes her with inertia

[viral sapphire]

Oh. Ok.. currently using post sync..should I change then? And use speed buffer?

[nocturne pawn]

yes

ideally use hilbert

[old orchid]

I see you have Hilbert

Replace Sonia with him and use pre sync param

Grid her Inertia and Soften Up

Or toss Soften Up for more sync tiles

But you have to deal with 80% crit

[viral sapphire]

Soften up makes it 100%?

[nocturne pawn]

what about sharp entry

[nocturne pawn]

and yes

[old orchid]

3/5 Hilbert already max crit, and Soften Up ensures sync critting at +2 crit

[crystal galleon]

"Reduced x mitigation" means that the opponent is more susceptible? Or less? Because I cannot remember for crud.

[tired sleet]

Reduced mitigation means the enemy is more susceptible to the effect

[crystal galleon]

Thank you
I'm seriously brainless right now

[tired sleet]

So flinch and freeze would generally last longer against Shauntal for example

[crystal galleon]

Ty again

[wicked pebble]

How do these striker choices look?

For the ice cs

[nocturne pawn]

id use ghetsis and or ss n on marnie

[mellow linden]

I’d recommend replacing SST Red or Holiday Jasmine (or both) with someone who can better buff SS Silver, so he’s not forced to spend a ton of turns on buffs instead of on dealing damage.

Otherwise, make sure that:

• You inflict a status on Marnie

• You properly manage Zone if you’re running Irida and SSA Cynthia on the same team

• You use one of your physical teams against Drake

And you should be alright. Any other complaints I could have are a lot more minor.

[wicked pebble]

'Striker choices'.

That implies I'm just picking out stuff like first and maybe second members.

And I was going to go physical against Drake, he's the second one on the list so that's what the second team is four.

[mellow linden]

My bad, just kinda slipped into team advice mode

The damage-dealers are fine

[wicked pebble]

It's fine.

Is the idea of using trapping good though?

[mellow linden]

For who?

[wicked pebble]

For Marnie.

I recall stuff like flinching and trapping working against the gimmick she has before.

[mellow linden]

Trap isn’t a status condition, you’ll need Burn, Poison, Paralysis, Sleep, or Freeze (preferably one of the 1st 3 I listed).

You’re thinking of Acute Senses, Marnie has Healthy Advantage

[wicked pebble]

Ah.

...Huh, I wanna say that did work before...

[mellow linden]

Probably mixing up a past stage with this one, would be my guess. Acute Senses and Healthy Advantage are spread across a lot of regions

[crystal galleon]

"Wow, my Pokemon sure are taking a lot of damage, that's weird" even though I forgot to equip the ice 3* gear that I had just upgraded for this special cs

[wicked pebble]

This look better for a more realized team setup?

[mellow linden]

I assume you’re relying on Dragon Breath Paralysis on Ghetsis for Marnie?

[wicked pebble]

Freeze with thr status parameter.

Derp, misread what you said.

[mellow linden]

Not the most reliable setup for my tastes, but if you’re willing to work with it then go for it

[wicked pebble]

Wait, why did you think the champ team wasn't going after the champ?

[mellow linden]

I missed that one team was labeled Champ is why

As long as you’ve got a way to keep Healthy Advantage disabled you should be good

[wicked pebble]

I would be using N for this so...

that affect much? With the status parameter?

[mellow linden]

Ah, Piercing Blows, right

If you’ve got that you can run the physical damage boost parameter on round 5, probably

[toxic cobalt]

3 of the upcoming weaknesses are the same

[opal olive]

I have 1/5 SST Red, 3/5 N, and 5/5 Volkner, all of which are EX. Could someone help me figure out a team for Aaron at 2.5k? I tried SST Red/N/Sonia but it just didn’t do enough damage

[nocturne pawn]

it should though

3/5 N was able to do aaron when it first came out

and you have terrain + extra dps from sst red

[opal olive]

I mean I can try it again

[opal olive]

Took me like 30 minutes but it worked

[grand steppe]

Aaron has Sentry Entry x2.
So you kind of were fighting uphill, even though I'm sure SST Red can power through it.

[opal olive]

Oh that’s the second time this has happened to me this month (not realizing they have sentry entry or what the special equivalent is)

[grand steppe]

Probably too high of str/hp parameters, I take it.
Red can blitz through it easier if they aren't raised so much vs sentry entry x2.

[opal olive]

I had Strength +6

Just realized that N had Piercing Blows so it only hurt SST Red and that that’s why you didn’t mention N

[grand steppe]

Piercing Blows doesn't interact with Sentry Entry x2.

Sentry Entry x2 directly doubles the def stat of the user. It can't be "pierced" by that passive effect.

[opal olive]

Oh

Never mind

[plush tangle]

Also SST Red has piercing blow on volt tackle

[opal olive]

I made too many mistakes in like one minute

[grand steppe]

So yeah, you were just doing a harder version. Which is alright but now you know. That's just how good Red is. N's expanded grid is also nice if you got 4+/5.

[opal olive]

Yeah well I’d honestly still (personally) rather use SST Red and N than Hau or Clemont

Thank you anyhow

[grand steppe]

Most people do it all the time (use red vs sentry entry x2) and don't realize a difference

[wide adder]

is summer n good vs dark phoebe? or would zoroark prob have a bit of trouble in that fight

[old orchid]

he is good against her cuz Sentry Entry x2

[wide adder]

So summer n, cmarnie, and a gauge support would prob be a good team? Or should I replace cmarnie with a zone replacer since it sounds like that enemy uses ghost zone

[mellow linden]

I mean, unless you're using Summer N over Champ Marnie for favoritism reasons, N's the one you'd be replacing if anyone

But you don't really need to replace anyone since Champ Marnie just wins the stage

[wide adder]

Fav and to try out zoroark

[zealous karma]

If you plan to 3/5 N then I would bring a spatk debuffer over marnie

[wide adder]

Hmm. I theoretically could use irida as a debuffer since iirc the ice stage has wise x2 anyways…

Or I could use ghetsis there

why does it seem like ghetsis helps most of N’s alts so much

[zealous karma]

He is his adoptive father

[wide adder]

...oh no. sydneys an evasion bot.

why must it be evasion spam when my best flying doesnt have 100 acc

[thin pecan]

How do we do the special stadium?

I do not have enough ice units for that

[zealous karma]

youre not forced to on type

[trail smelt]

Only realized how similar my teams were gonna be with last week’s right after I finished making it from scratch LMAO

[toxic cobalt]

3 shared types be like that

[grim bison]

2.5K Hoenn in 3 hours!

[grim bison]

My favorite Hoenn elite four member, Aaron

[trail smelt]

Oh forgot to change the e name lol

[devout sluice]

I forgot dark weak this reset. Time to use my fave against phoebe

[grand steppe]

https://i.imgur.com/49EAs0G.jpg
The pinned comment has been updated. This is for any last minute straglers. ⬇️

[old orchid]

why all of them use John Cena 😭

[toxic cobalt]

Good luck, last-minute stragglers

I sense a template developed for another event

I wonder if a special CS will have different weaknesses, could be fun

[grand steppe]

yeah, i just cloned the water-type point event

[toxic cobalt]

Not complaining, it's good

Why are the No quarter moves elevated to watch out status? Particularly nasty?

[grand steppe]

mainly if your support is low with Endure

[toxic cobalt]

RIP Roxanne

[grand steppe]

I wanted to do the weakness colors and obviously feature less John cena
But its 12am

[toxic cobalt]

John Cena?

[paper summit]

your boomer is showing, smh

[grand steppe]

My boomer neighbors love John Cena.

Though maybe that can’t see me now meme is making its debut on Facebook or something.

[tame gust]

Bleh, an hour and a half isn’t enough for me to work out a 12.5k

I’m bad, got distracted with family

[paper summit]

for a week? wow

[tame gust]

Getting ready for a visit while juggling work.. yeah

[paper summit]

tbf it's not that dropping points is the end of the world

[tame gust]

Yeah. True. Could just tune down params

[toxic cobalt]

Get 2.5 out of everyone who isn't Bertha

Aaron pretty bulky too, unless you have Ash

[grand steppe]

Or you could just 1st sync + quad queue with base Hau. I posted it earlier

Oh wait that was double hau.

[zealous karma]

Hau is good too

[toxic cobalt]

With terrain maybe

[zealous karma]

capable of 3.5K with terrain

and ex

[grand steppe]

Well with terrain is a given

Otherwise not on 1st sync

[zealous karma]

Didnt you say you were going to sleep 15 minuters ago smh

[paper summit]

look who's talking

[grand steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/close-the-door-gif-9373511

[zealous karma]

I never make promises about going to sleep

if you have sol PB and bring a flincher it should be fine

[toxic cobalt]

Temp pin for Cress

[tame gust]

I tried to slug-fest without a flincher lmao. Tried to go at her R1 with SSRola, PBGaleo, and Nanu for defense drop. Really scuffed team that Bertha decided to send to the abyss

[zealous karma]

she has hs1 so e

[tame gust]

So yeah, bad movements on my part.

[toxic cobalt]

Please don't dodge the word filter

[tame gust]

would probably be less frustrating just OTing her with CMarnie probably.

yep, Carnie strikes again. So I think Flint is good to hit for R2?

[zealous karma]

i forget what that was

[tame gust]

stat reductions are more effective.

[trail smelt]

Stat debuffs more effective

Yeah

[swift swan]

Flint debuffs quite a lot so you have to be careful with that

[tame gust]

Used Elio, SC Zinnia, and Lodge Silver for some reason... but fight went well. Now going on to r3. Options are Lucian or Aaron

[swift swan]

either one is fine. just remember R3 prevents quadqueue

[crystal galleon]

I did awful on this one, ngl
I made some poor choices and relied heavily on luck.

[swift swan]

well, a clear is a clear

[rigid flint]

Ash and Red actually counter Marnie

Which is v nice

[crystal galleon]

Yeah, once I struggled with the first four rounds of nonsense. I should've swapped Leaf with Misty, actually used SS Blue, and not been so stingy until the end with my better pairs

[toxic cobalt]

Poor choices and luck is my strategy every week

[swift swan]

2025/01/27 - 2025/02/03
R1: When a Pokemon faints, debuffs the stats of all allies
R2: Physical damage reduction at start
R3: Debuffs are more effective
R4: Permanent field effects
R5: Status conditions are more effective

Note: The damage reduction on R2 is bypassed by crits, but it prevents quadqueue!

half sync on 2.5k Hoenn, how are we feeling fellas

[toxic cobalt]

Half sync...Sidney? Maybe?

[swift swan]

half sync glacia is possible

[toxic cobalt]

So long as her critical her next isn't Blizzard

[swift swan]

i remember doing it with hop + MR + EX Bea. it was pretty hell though, I had to take half ally HP in favor of less bulk. but that was pre-zone

[swift swan]

oh i was talking about presyncing half sync stages!

[toxic cobalt]

Ramos you say

[swift swan]

good luck with that base 1.3k offenses

[swift swan]

btw aurochs maybe this can be pinned for now

so if Sages wants to refer to it to update his image, it'll be easier

[swift swan]

thank youuu

[toxic cobalt]

Looks like Phoebe special, Drake physical, other two mixed

[swift swan]

Glacia's stage is almost fully special too

Glacia herself has lower offenses but... piercing gaze blizzard

[wicked pebble]

How does this look for this week's cs?

[sinful garden]

You shouldnt have trouble

[swift swan]

hmmm just don't postsync Phoebe. otherwise you're fine

[wicked pebble]

You realize I'll be using Champ Marnie, right?

[old orchid]

i would move CCalem to CMarnie's team for zone and replace him with a rain setter on Eusine's team

Steven stage mainly uses physical moves so replace LDawn with a defense buffer

[wicked pebble]

Dawn was more there for speed boosting, not defense.

[swift swan]

I am aware. the problem isn't with Champ Marnie, it's the fact that Phoebe's sync will hurt regardless

[undone ether]

any gimmicks this week for CS? i see Drake has 2 garchomps... so that's gonna be sandstorm stuff

[wicked pebble]

To me, the problem is that you think it'll get that far. I've been clearing pre-sync with everyone else so far.

[swift swan]

alright then

[wicked pebble]

The only rain setters I have are May and Winona.

Plus, Dark Zone feels like overkill.

[fiery canopy]

new month yayaya

lets seee

so think carefully abt who i fight for r3 and avoid glacia and phoebe for r4.....

[grim bison]

So how was 2.5k Hoenn

[old orchid]

Glacia is the best for R3 if you have 3/5 Bea

[wicked pebble]

I saved her for Round 4. Marnie will nuke her faster than she can even consider.

[undone ether]

does she Hail or somethin?

[grim bison]

Fire weak Glacia is the one with hail

[versed meteor]

I love weeks that have permanent field effects

[rigid flint]

Perma field effects my beloved

[versed meteor]

But my dumb ass already did Drake r1

[old orchid]

perma field and half sync cd in the same week

[undone ether]

wait. this glacia is the one that spams Accuracy Up + Blizzard right? >_>

[old orchid]

Odin i know you are lurking here

[wicked pebble]

And it is as I thought: DArk Zone would have been massive overkill.

[swift swan]

more like, piercing gaze with blizzard spam

so no dodging

[fiery canopy]

teambuild time!
alright for sidney im thinking zinnia/winona/someone else (need to fill in medal so niche type maybe)
phoebe is cmarnie/sczinnia/niche type support
glacia is solgaleo/bea/niche type support
drake is irida/ss silver or ghetsis/whatever support
steven is cyrus/sycamore/idk anyone
any thoughts?

[grim bison]

Bea annihilated her

[undone ether]

all dat gas.

[rigid flint]

Wallin time

[undone ether]

stares

[wicked pebble]

can confirm.

[old orchid]

this is the first time you have done Hoenn CS right?

[fiery canopy]

yupyup

[old orchid]

its better to post your roster here

[fiery canopy]

oh right! ok lemme send

[undone ether]

Oh man, i would've really liked if we got Blue's new upgrade NOW 😭

[rigid flint]

I was gonna say the teams were alright till I remembered that it's Medal Completion

[swift swan]

if it's hard mode, either cmarnie or sc zinnia will be enough. you can replace one of them with a niche type
glacia team will need good gauge support
vs drake, you'll definitely appreciate irida to change the weather. drake has wise entry x2 so physical moves are more recommended, but it's hard mode so you'll be fine.
i wouldn't make sycamore tank steven, steven is physical and sycamore is steel-weak

[fiery canopy]

i see!

[undone ether]

haah damnit

i wanted to use Liza for this match, i have to use Blue 😭

[fiery canopy]

alright who should goooo first!

[swift swan]

what's stopping you from using Liza

[swift swan]

whichever team doesn't need quadqueue to win

[undone ether]

this thing 😭

[rigid flint]

That's used after sync

[fiery canopy]

i am not gonna lie i still dont know how quadqueue works so probably all of them!

[rigid flint]

Liza will definitely be able to KO mid before Sidney syncs

As long as you have a support EX

[undone ether]

HUM

2/5 Liza y/n?

[formal vigil]

Yes

[rigid flint]

That's definitely fine

[swift swan]

definitely W

[upbeat dragon]

seems u're a returning player rnt u

[rigid flint]

@grave wyvern It's 1/5 Lysandre gaming time

[swift swan]

giga impact is giga impact

[fiery canopy]

ive been a returning player for like. 3 months then LOL

[rigid flint]

Giga Impact go brr

Just like what Liza says

[swift swan]

inb4 tai uses lodge serena gaming

[rigid flint]

Nooooo

Tai would NEVER

[swift swan]

Go zoom and then go brrr!

[keen jasper]

Stat-lowering effects on Steven

[swift swan]

well then, if you want to take advantage of R1 even further, fight a stage that mainly uses physical moves

we have gimmicks on pins

[undone ether]

I just dont know about presync builds though.

[grave wyvern]

SO TRUE HEXXA it's Lysandre time!!

[fiery canopy]

if i do sidney r1 ill need to bring a crit buffer right?

[formal vigil]

Just replace skyla with a defence debuffer

[swift swan]

well, you always need to buff your crit

[undone ether]

a defense debuffer....

[keen jasper]

Unless you have Clutch Critical or Critical Crit 9

[swift swan]

crit gives a 1.5x multiplier, bypasses positive defense buffs, and bypasses shields

[undone ether]

Sonia? o-O?

[fiery canopy]

well yes but especially right now!
hmm...

[undone ether]

i guess sonia works.

[swift swan]

sure, unless you're planning to use her somewhere else

[formal vigil]

I would use nanu instead

[undone ether]

mmhm

building my teams right now

[formal vigil]

Faster debuffs+flinch

[trail smelt]

Hoenn crushed as usual

[fiery canopy]

ss acerola buffs crit by 3 ranks but i feel thats overkill no?

[trail smelt]

Oh forgot to make next week’s team

[trail smelt]

For your team or what?

[formal vigil]

How is that overkill?

[trail smelt]

If you mean in general then no because you want 100% Crit at all times if possible

[fiery canopy]

i guess not then
i was just wondering if i should save her for a different fight

[swift swan]

if you mean you're afraid you might use her somewhere else, then replace with someone cheaper

[formal vigil]

You could just use hop or something

[swift swan]

if you're bringing ss acerola, you can just get rid of Winona here

their weathers will overlap

[fiery canopy]

i dont think i will....
oh yeah!

[swift swan]

and zinnia appreciates weather of any kind

[fiery canopy]

eh ill see if hop/zinnia/winona works for rn

[undone ether]

I think this should do it mmhmm

[trail smelt]

Ready for next week’s crushing. Well, maybe not Steel but we’ll see

[fiery canopy]

r1 done yay

drake time

if im gonna use irida and ss silver here, who should be a support?

[old orchid]

any defensive support#

[fiery canopy]

kk!

[old orchid]

Aaron is good

[undone ether]

😦

liza died.

haaah

[river pagoda]

Do these look ok for 2.5k mm? I was trying out a couple diff ones on r1 and I take so much dmg just at first sync 😭

[old orchid]

you might need use a physical dmg dealer on Drake

since he has Wise Entry x2

[river pagoda]

O shoot

Aii

[manic kiln]

Irida is fine tho

[undone ether]

haaah

[old orchid]

was going to say try that team first

[undone ether]

Blue + Skyla + Falkner ;_;

next time Liza 😦

[old orchid]

i would use someone that buffs defense instead of Sycamore

[river pagoda]

Gonna keep irida with n cuz she's still op

Ya I need to use defensive supprs for this cuz they all did so much dmg

I tried glacia and sidney

Insta one taps 1-2 units with sync

Or close to death at least

☠️

[full mesa]

I hate Sidney

[undone ether]

I hate sidney as well.

[full mesa]

She needs towering force and tough cookie. Otherwise she can't do Sidney.

[undone ether]

😐

i tried presync and post sync

[full mesa]

Spent 20' trying with SLiza/Kahili/Elio...

[undone ether]

It seems this guy wants to be debuffed to hell and back

[devout sluice]

Didn’t like glacia.

[full mesa]

I just switched over to Volkner/SSTRed/Clemont.

[full mesa]

Why? Just bring a powerful wall and Bea.

[fiery canopy]

final round! if im using cyrus, whos a good support?

[zealous karma]

This week has not been fun to me

[full mesa]

Anyone with ATB gauge and rain.

[zealous karma]

Sycamore and Winona

[river pagoda]

I uh

I think I just

Can't 12.5k hoenn cs

I tried off typing glacia and it worked a lil better

[fiery canopy]

ssmina to the rescue!

[river pagoda]

But then they one tapped Morty after sync

[full mesa]

Apart from Sidney and some mpr shenanigans with grandpa, the rest were enjoyable.

[toxic cobalt]

Why off type? Lots of fighting options

[river pagoda]

Tried bea but she kept getting one tapped by sync

[full mesa]

Steven is a pushover. With an ex support and perma rain/accel gauge, Cyrus will take down mid before sync.

[formal vigil]

I just used wally beat it quite easily

[river pagoda]

Regular wally??

[last dew]

should i change this up?

[river pagoda]

Maybe I'll try tht

[full mesa]

Use BPMorty and give her +6 def/Spdef.

[formal vigil]

Yes

[full mesa]

Yes. She has sentry entry x2.

[toxic cobalt]

The opponent should not be reaching sync

[last dew]

tf that do
