Oh phew i have ss lusamine

I run a Gloria Team vs Glacia on R3
undone ether
Oh phew i have ss lusamine
Oh she has mirror shard Dx
... and he was just new
versed meteor
Bro wtf dena
Thats just disgusting sentry entry on a type that is mostly physical units that are available
candid juniper
Just lower their defense 
formal vigil
That doesn't do anything
It's their base stats that get doubled
Not a physical buff
dusty yarrow
I mean... just look at the numbers
desert berry
Can Wallace stage be poison stalled?
versed meteor
Someone should do max hp run of it
dusty yarrow
its a poison weak stage, with the lowered Lessen Poison (I think its Lessen Poison 7 for Wallace) makes stall probably easier... I guess
grand trout
pft
"status conditions are easier to proc" my ass, i never poisoned wallace for 2 sync rotations 
and im using cross poison and poison fang in tandem
clear valley
I’m getting one shot by Sidney, what am I doing wrong
desert berry
True Wallace doesn’t get poisoned
grand trout
poison stall?
desert berry
grand trout
what are your parameters?
clear valley
what are your parameters?
The usual 2.5k
Is gradual healing how I’m getting shit on?
river pagoda
Cleared 12.5k for the second time ever plus my first time doing poison stall 😩 tht was so fun
Can't wait to EX base elesa as well 😮💨
river pagoda
Is gradual healing how I’m getting shit on?
P sure ur not supposed to have tht on
Just turn on all def/hp parameters
paper summit
Is gradual healing how I’m getting shit on?
You are not supposed to pick that one tho, you sure you are following the stall parameters?
river pagoda
There's links in pins for recommended stall params
verbal karma
Okay, finally did R1 Phoebe with Elesa after all
Now I need to build a good R2 Sydney team...which means I am at least no longer limited to just Mina
Hmm...who to pick?
...jeez, I really need more fairy-type strikes/techs...
...man, I am starting to regret pulling on the SS May banner more and more now
late grove
palerna pal dawn and a good supprt
clear valley
There's links in pins for recommended stall params
Yeah I the right ones on but still getting pooped
verbal karma
...who's Palerna?
dusty yarrow
Palentine Serena
grand trout
Can we see your support
dusty yarrow
I run Lillie-Clefairy Striker against him... (although its probably not optimal to run in your situation)...
I saw some run Sycamore to dish out Moonblast DPS, Another Fairy Unit & A Support Available (although maybe cuz Sycamore's TM is one counter to Sidney's Gimmicks)
verbal karma
Can we see your support
All of them or only the EX'd ones?
verbal karma
Ah, so the EX'd ones that can buff Crit, got it
grand trout
i would suggest ss brendan or something of that sort
verbal karma
!
grand trout
or kriss, or cbede
verbal karma
I was considering maybe saving SS Brendan for R4 Drake? Would SS Brendan be even good for R4 Drake?
grand trout
ss brendan is an enabler
verbal karma
or kriss, or cbede
I sadly don't have Kriss or CBede, tho
grand trout
he would be only good if your main striker is a dragon special
verbal karma
Anyway, here are my EX'd crit buffers
verbal karma
I'd sadly lose crit buffs, tho
verbal karma
Hmm...okay, maybe I should first decide on a proper team for R4 Drake
Because beyond "dragon type" and "can't let Drake benefit from rain", I have no clue...
grand trout
do you have anni raihan
verbal karma
I do!
grand trout
well you can use him lol
fight weather with weather
anni raihan can use brendan quite well too
verbal karma
well you can use him lol
As the attacker or as the enabler?
wet gate
what order is the best for this week?
verbal karma
Okay, with SS Brendan confirmed for the R4 Drake team, that does mean I need a different support for the R2 Sidney team...
junior crown
I’m getting one shot by Sidney, what am I doing wrong<:dawnfright:10602996185015...
Are you doing it on R1?? And BP Morty is weak to dark, so Sydnei will do more damage to him
verbal karma
Nope, I just can't beat R2 Sidney with the Palentine's Duo, no matter how hard I try
Biggest problem is that even with an EX'd support, their sync does entirely too little damage
hushed sorrel
question - in off type pre-sync, it checks both striker and tech to take 3x damage lmao. I die to 1 blizzard from Glacia
so do I just swap that for Strength +1?
old orchid
yes you should
verbal karma
Damn, looks like Solgaleo was a bad pick for R3 Glacia 😦
hidden ore
So the order is r2 for Sidney and r4 for Drake?
Gonna fight Sidney with this, not sure about Syca here
old orchid
Diantha and Sycamore fight for first sync
you can bring a spdef debuffer instead
but watch out for aoe Thunder Wave before sync
hidden ore
Spdef down support search filter 🙃
old orchid
Lucian is good, the third slot isnt necessarily a support
hushed sorrel
gadam glacia - have to get the rng where she spams buff opposed to blizzard lol... so sad.
old orchid
Glacia is annoying yes
hushed sorrel
but got it in the end
old orchid
fortunately she has low hp
hushed sorrel
Im not sure how to fix the gauge issue with Eusine and May
before my second sync, I get stuck
with 4 bar move then 3 bar move
old orchid
they shouldnt face gauge issue
hushed sorrel
and I only get to que 2
old orchid
who is the third?
hushed sorrel
blastoise
old orchid
there is none, just be smart with move order
hushed sorrel
buff / surf / muddy doesnt work
old orchid
Blue's TM has gauge acceleration
hushed sorrel
I know but its not enough I get stuck at some point with just 2 moves
any way I think I just need to trial more
old orchid
click Growl yes
verbal karma
Alright, so...I assume I do NOT want a physical attacker for R3 Glacia?
keen jasper
Alright, so...I assume I do NOT want a physical attacker for R3 Glacia?
I still swept her with SS Giovanni
verbal karma
...but I don't have SS Giovanni
keen jasper
You can try to brute force Glacia with physical steel damage dealers
grand trout
Can't you offtype?
keen jasper
Well, there's that option too
hidden ore
What do you think about this?
For params what should be changed
Apply Presync ontype?
verbal karma
You can try to brute force Glacia with physical steel damage dealers
I mean, I literally tried that with Solgaleo
and sadly, no luck
keen jasper
and sadly, no luck
I used YOLO parameters that doesn't have strength and HP parameters
You can also try double damage dealers to make it up
verbal karma
Well, I can't really use Double damage dealers with Solgaleo due to Move Gauge management
keen jasper
Well, I can't really use Double damage dealers with Solgaleo due to Move Gauge m...
Solgaleo literally has BOGO on TM
proud axle
Yeah, TM TM Attack costs Solga only 3 gauges combined
verbal karma
I don't know what to sacrifice
proud axle
The power boost nodes are always comically cheap
rigid flint
You can always make another new grid
proud axle
Well, the rest of Solga's grid is almost entirely garbage
rigid flint
I'd recommend off typing but
proud axle
I feel like a grid solely comprised of Solga's power boost nodes and completely empty everywhere else, might actually be stronger than an otherwise full grid that excludes the power boost nodes
Solga's grid was that sad before
verbal karma
Okay, had to sacrifice an Atk +10 grid for Bogo
proud axle
That's cheap
proud axle
Before we continue, does Solga also have Furious Brain and Haymaker
Critical Eye is also excellent if your support doesn't give crit
proud axle
F-Brain is useful, since Solga has so few other normal move multipliers
verbal karma
I see
proud axle
And with BOGO, you're maxing SpAtk right away anyway
Solga's powerboost nodes were that gamechanging
versed meteor
Well fuck you dena looks like frog off typing is needed for Glacia
Lusamine just aint cutting it with mirror shot
proud axle
Neither
verbal karma
Oh hey, now I also have enough for Sunsteel Strike MGR, nice
verbal karma
Neither
...oh...
I mean, my idea behind sacrificing Sharp Entry was that SS Elesa already buffs crit with her TM
proud axle
The only other thing I wish I had, here, is sync freebie
tribal agate
Hoenn is arguably the hardest CS and this week is also extremely annoying in some regards, so i'm not sure how well we can do with a week 1 roster, but you can check out the teambuilding faq in #1010307000346878062 in the meantime to pinpoint some possible strats.
- for Sidney Fairy weak, Sycamore is a given as he has really good fairy damage and ramps himself up, just needs crit, keep his TM for when Sidney uses Thunder Wave.
- for Phoebe Electric, you'll need a paralyze to disable her gimmick which can come from your trainer & pikachu, but damage dealer wise unless you invest in 3/5 Hau it's gonna be complicated unless you off type, could attempt SS May there otherwise try out Mew&Oak with sync then they unlock Thunder which is strong and can paralyze.
- for Glacia which is the strongest of the bunch, you need to use special damage and you don't have a special steel so off type again although your special cast is lacking, but Ghetsis could work out, a special defense buffer is also advised. Debuffing Glacia's offenses with Noble Roar (Ghetsis) could help as her offenses are high af.
- for Drake you'll need to overwrite his Rain, so Adaman and Zinnia together feel like a given with a support in middle to buff Zinnia's crit (Shauna, Hop etc).
- for Wallace, you'll want to use poison stall technique, which involves using your Lucy and supports to defend/heal while the opponents just die to the bad poison.
You have to be careful of the "rounds" too which is in what order you attempt the fights. Round 3 has half sync parameter which halves the sync of both opponent and yourself, and that can be dangerous. Don't do Glacia on Round 3, i'd say Drake is your best bet.
I encourage you to attempt the fights first then we can troubleshoot issues when you encounter some, but don't stress out too much as this week is really one of the hardest.
rigid flint
I mean, my idea behind sacrificing Sharp Entry was that SS Elesa already buffs c...
Always good to have more options for crit!
Just in case you don't get lucky and there's no MPR
verbal karma
Drake is R4
rigid flint
Couldn't you do Drake in R3? Iirc you have Zerena, right?
sinful garden
zerena demolishes that stage just do first sync with her
rigid flint
Yeah
rigid flint
Lul
verbal karma
...huh...
undone ether
Unfortunately
rigid flint
Zerena is almost guaranteed to clear the stage first sync
verbal karma
I mean, would be worth a try
undone ether
my first attempt kinda.... i missed the timing of applying Thousand Wave 😭
rigid flint
Along with Lucas it's game over
undone ether
soooo
my nuke didnt go through
well still was hitting him for 16k
so i guess it was fine, SS Morty was dying though
sinful garden
I mean, would be worth a try
just run a separate crit buffer
so you can place restrain before sync
old orchid
if you feel overwhelmed when getting helped, just tell us
hushed sorrel
man cant beat sidney without vigilance on my sycamore
verbal karma
Okay, R3 Drake done
...though now I need a R4 Glacia team...
Which means I now need to Focus on an EX support with Adrenaline
urban cave
Ideas?
tribal agate
for what? Also move levels and EX are extremely important
urban cave
(This is for hard mode)
Most are 1/5 without EX
I finished Sidney with Irida and SS Silver, so I can't sue them again
tribal agate
- Volkner absolutely on Phoebe no contest with Elesa, need that paralyze, get Hop in there
- Adaman can tackle Drake to counter his rain, can pair SS Morty with him too
- Glacia your Jirachi is a no brainer that's a free win he's made for that fight
- Wallace just poison stall with Lucy or BP Erika and Leaf as tank it's also a free win
just don't do Glacia on Round 3
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011234431291359302/1127903263392546878/Screenshot_2023-07-10-12-04-43-13_e0bcd2221fd4f2bd308a18aca1be7936.jpg this was a meme support run but just to show at 2500 how much of a joke poison stall is (so imagine in hard mode where they do nothing)
you can flex/spread third slots for medal types as needed
urban cave
What's R3's parameter
tribal agate
sync countdown reduced by half for both teams
i'd say Drake can be good for that one if you use Morty & Adaman, he should hit for peanuts
urban cave
Isn't Volkner a recoil unit though
tribal agate
ah yeah i forgot but Drake has Acute Senses 4 which in Master Mode is automatically disabled by the Gradual Healing parameter but if you have something like a confuse it's great
tribal agate
Isn't Volkner a recoil unit though
Volkner is there purely to paralyze and put terrain for Elesa, his paralyze and flinch chances are very high
Paralyze is required for Phoebe
Elesa is a recoil unit yes, but that's not really a bother especially in hard mode, just use Hop there he has potions
urban cave
It's not doing massive nukes that take itself down anytime soon, right
tribal agate
mhmm
proud axle
Volkner is a kingmaker, not a king
With his passives, Thunder Fang's paralyze and flinch rates are both 50%
That is way more valuable than his Wild Charge
...Also if your Elesa is 3/5, she doesn't have to care about Recoil anymore
old orchid
You shouldnt touch his Wild Charge
plush tangle
Volkner is a kingmaker, not a king
Idk man 
wdym that's not the right channel
proud axle
3/5 Elesa has access to this, which gives more recoil mitigation than all her other Standfast nodes combined-- and for less energy
verbal karma
Finally done with CS
formal vigil
Do you have volkner?
hushed sorrel
yes
tribal agate
Volkner is a 50% proc
and has electric terrain
and can flinch too
he's there to enable electric pairs
proud axle
You can also use Lt Surge/Raichu. Thunder Wave!
tribal agate
wait what
hushed sorrel
vs drake
tribal agate
why do you care for Paralysis then
what was the proc
hushed sorrel
no
old orchid
TM MPR perhaps
hushed sorrel
the leg up
old orchid
Leg Up is bad
hushed sorrel
nono the 1 sync move early
formal vigil
Oh ss elesa
hushed sorrel
im 1/5 lol
old orchid
She wants another -1 sync cd to skip a full turn yeah
Sucks that you dont have deluxe cookies to get Head Start 1
tribal agate
you sure Irida is a good idea tho in that team?
like yeah she brings Hail for Zinnia but
you can get other instances of weather that don't involve an overkill you could use in another team
afaik you ain't doing MM so Zinnia powerboosted should flex on Drake
unreal radish
What order of opponents should I choose for pasio special stadium?
tribal agate
What order of opponents should I choose for pasio special stadium?
There's no specific order of preference, we have a pin to help out planning
However iirc people recommend not doing Drake on Round 4 but he's good on R1 when you bypass his weather
You can also do Koga on R3 to make use of the special reduction field
unreal radish
Thx
tribal agate
mfw i just realized 3 of them have Sludge Bomb
tribal agate
Thoe Hoenn one has different parameters
yeah however
don't do Glacia on Round 3 lol
unreal radish
Thx
I will try finishing the pasio special today
And the hoenn one I can do later
tribal agate
yeah today is the last day for Pasio
unreal radish
Don't look too hard to finish if I do things right

you can reset again and again but you'll only get those first time rewards once, yeah
pure haven
I was thinking maybe Glacia R1 could work? Only steel type damage dealer that I have is solgaleo
Either that or off-typing with cMarnie lol
noble plaza
Any particular order this week?
rose prism
Glacia aoe is annoying
pure haven
R1: Glacia
R2: Sidney
R3: Drake
R4: Phoebe
How's that sound 
?
keen jasper
I've been thinking of using R1 against Glacia, but I decided to go the "I want big numbers" route
So I used R1 against Phoebe
With SST Red
old orchid
Glacia has double base defense so use special dmg dealer there
pure haven
Don't have Red sadly
formal vigil
For phoebe try volkner instead of ss hau
pure haven
Glacia has double base defense so use special dmg dealer there
Don't have any on-type special tho
old orchid
offtype then
pure haven
Hmm
formal vigil
You need a reliable para source
formal vigil
With that team should be possible though I would replace Aaron with something like a defence debuffer
Since he really isn't doing anything there
old orchid
how can that team survive Blizzard spam without a spdef buffer?
i would do offtype instead
formal vigil
BP clemont?
old orchid
i see CMarnie
pure haven
Yeah
old orchid
use her instead of Solgaleo
pure haven
I know I can off-type with her
old orchid
Solgaleo against Glacia is the same as offtyping

She is like a freaking titanium wall without special

Are you clearing Pre Sync?

Yea pre sync
I did it with Eusine
I gave my ss blue wise entry but it still died lol

Weird
I didn’t get Blizzard Spammed at all, I just clicked B Hydro Pump and profited.
hushed sorrel
Lolol
But that fight was not nearly as hard as the drake fight for me lol my zinnia doesn’t have dauntless
austere quest
Oh the hardest fight for me was Sidney because I wasn’t getting the Procs I needed for my modifiers

I see. I had to poison stall…

I had to do some Searing Flames to get some sick burns on the field

Took me 4 hours to clear today haha 😂

And now I’m just wondering how I’m gonna take on Agatha in Ice stadium
mellow linden
Agatha is from Kanto CS, she’ll basically die to a stiff breeze
As long as the team is well-built you’ll be fine
pure haven
And now I’m just wondering how I’m gonna take on Agatha in Ice stadium
U don't, she just kill herself lol
noble plaza
Glacia has double base defense so use special dmg dealer there
Does this matter much if it's hard mode?
mellow linden
Not really
keen jasper
||I wanna say a very mean word about Agatha, but IDK if it's a banned word here||
noble plaza
Anyone I should avoid/do on certain rounds?
keen jasper
and Glacia on R3
Me totally neglecting that
noble plaza
mild hatch
Agatha is from Kanto CS, she’ll basically die to a stiff breeze
Agatha is the last one I need to take down before fighting Marnie
keen jasper
Well, SS Gio still completely sweeps steel-weak Glacia
mellow linden
I mean, that doesn’t really change how easy Agatha is to beat
keen jasper
Or just let Agatha kill herself
mellow linden
Yeah, if she’s at a certain % of HP by the time she uses her Trainer Move right after she Syncs she’ll straight up KO herself
Always hilarious when that happens

Always hilarious when that happens
Is this why Sol memes on her?

I’m gonna use Ghetsis for Marnie 😂
dark osprey
that's quite a good roster can offtype with one of those OP Masterfairs or pokefairs
mellow linden
You planning to use Irida for the Marnie fight as well?
mild hatch
Probably yeah

Solid ideas. I’ll probably need to have SS Blue on the Agatha team purely for tanking and increasing defense

Sure, he’ll work fine
dark osprey
1/5 Summer Tate v/s 1/5 Raihan against steal weak Glacia. Who seems better?
old orchid
i would use both together
dark osprey
hehe. i honestly did the same
only thing in one of the runs was that Raihan got wiped off by a blizzard
wish Glacia was physical. Tate's charm would have worked well there
trail smelt
Yeah my victory run was the one where Glacia never used Blizzard
dark osprey
ah. those blizzards hit real hard
keen jasper
Imagine Glacia using Blizzard
mild hatch
Just took down Agatha

Wallace's blizzard is like icy wind

The worst part isn't that we got half sync countdown but that it's round 3 so i don't know how to decide if my fairy or steel is stronger

if you have diantha fairy is the much easier route imo
glacia has sentry entry x2
so it might be harder
sand karma
2/5 SSWally vs 3/5 Raihan
dark osprey
I guess 3/5 Raihan has easy setup
trail smelt
I half synced electric
formal vigil
i half synced dragon

Did Glacia R1 so my steels hit her just a little bit harder
dark osprey
And can use his super effective next post EX support sync maybe

Is it me or is Elite special stadium kinda lame with rewards?

The 12,5k master one or the Pasio special?

The major thing of Pasio Special Stadium is the gem rewards for 1st clears on the stages

yes replace him

Who do I put tho?

can you use the sort by / show seperators option
grand steppe
click, sort by type first, then role, then click show separators.
in that order
pure haven
Tracker crashes on cellphone
Give me a sec, I'll try using uni PC
Nvm there's a power outage

I'll try both
Also, would be better to use ssHau or ogHau?
For dps
Alongside Volker for paralysis of course

SS Hau

is poison stall the best way to go for wallace? i’ve never done it before and all the poison i have are these guys.. is it doable?
nocturne pawn
his round parameter is basically begging to be stalled
old orchid
show us your supports
old orchid
i see Misty, use her
old orchid
which bonus parameter would be recommended?
either R1 or R4
nocturne pawn
isnt the recommended misty psyduck
old orchid
none of these params benefits stalling
old orchid
isnt the recommended misty psyduck
Wallace only uses special
and they dont have Mistyduck?
nocturne pawn
and they dont have Mistyduck?
unless im literally blind i dont see her
oh sorry
just an fyi if you plan on poison stalling more often id strongly recommend getting bp morty for that purpose
obsidian agate
thanks for the tip, wasn’t sure who to get next
old orchid
you should get all BP supports first
obsidian agate
do you recommend getting all the copies first or getting multiple units?
obsidian agate
thanks!
pure haven
Yeah I can't with Phoebe
old orchid
did she hit too hard?
pure haven
Ye
Sync destroys my party
Even with post sync params
Tried pre sync too tho idk how that helps with R3
pure haven
Hi Taiyo 
I'm thinking maybe resetting and trying other round
Maybe leave Drake for R3
nocturne pawn
just checking but you are statusing her right
pure haven
How much skill does it requires to use her? I'm having skill issue lately
nocturne pawn
if shes 3/5 shes great for on type
old orchid
Sonia then
nocturne pawn
eh id use aaron
she has critical eye with her expansion so she can just take 2 turns ti set up and then sync
queen ore
Question, I am doing a sync ramp team for Fariy weak Sydney, quick sync move parameter. My team is
- SS Wally (4/5), has Head Start 1 in grid
- Diantha (5/5) also has Head Start 1 in grid
- SS Brendan (5/5) also has head start 1 in grid.
When I perform the ramp, all of them decrase 4 sync counters, making me have to use 1 turn to sync. So which unit should I give Head Start 1 lucky skill to sync at the start of the battle?
old orchid
SS Wally
nocturne pawn
why not ss brendan
old orchid
no need to ping
queen ore
Ah sorry
old orchid
well for his lucky skill its either HS1 or Adrenaline
Brendan is a support, you might need Vigilance for him sometimes
queen ore
But wouldn't that be a damage lost for his nuke?
old orchid
unless you are completely fine with crits
his nuke is still brutal anyway
2/3 of my tech dont even have CS2 or WW3
nocturne pawn
dude literally has the highest stated spatk in the game post mega
and mega stats are factored for the damage calc
queen ore
Hmm what about Diantha?
nocturne pawn
diantha should run cs2
if you even get to sync with her and ss wally then devastation can also help
queen ore
Hmm I plan to sync Brendan - Wally - Diantha
nocturne pawn
wait how is it even surviving to third sync
queen ore
But since I am doing 2.5k, Sydney would be dead at Wally already
old orchid
if you want to sync with Brendan first, try Brendan -> Diantha
old orchid
or SS Wally to nuke the left, then sync with Diantha
queen ore
Hmm if I am doing the sync countdown level, the left side shouldn't move during the enemy firsy sync cycle right?

What a funny cat

Dunno just felt that it would be better to clear sides than prismatic laser

it isnt

Now that i reason it i used the off type param so i guess it would have been better damage

I ask this becaue my Steel Steven is not really putting up a fight
My gosh, the spamming of blizzard as well 😡

Ok, but why are you talking about active buffs when they’re irrelevant to why physical damage-dealers struggle here
Crits ignore defensive buffs, +2 Defense is meaningless. Sentry Entry x2 cannot be ignored in any form, so that’s what’s having an actual effect

mellow linden
Off-type or Poison stall are your best options if you lack both special Steel damage-dealers and Palentine’s Marnie
versed meteor
Or you can do what dena wants and pull tate
Wanted to try gloria tomorrow with this Glacia stage then bam sentry entry 2 fuck you dena
quaint solar
Crits ignore defensive buffs, +2 Defense is meaningless. Sentry Entry x2 cannot ...
I am saying that
Their is nothing that buffs Galcia Defense other than X Defense all. Their is not Buff names or symbols that comes up at the start of the fight for me. That's what I am saying. That part in particular.
mellow linden
Sentry Entry x2 comes up at the start of the fight for like half a second
You can check pomatools to see she has it
nocturne pawn
💀
pure haven
I am saying that
Their is nothing that buffs Galcia Defense other than X Defense...
Dude, they've been telling you that she has Sentry Entry x2 as a passive that buffs her defense
That's why using physical strikers won't do shit against Glacia
It's not that she's getting a literal defense boost
Just that physical damage in general deal less
pure haven
Yeah resetting and trying Phoebe R1 with Zebstrika and R3 Drake did it
Now Glacia R4
If I'm going off-type would post sync be better? Can't do pre anyway since R4 prevents quadq
mellow linden
Can always give it a try and switch back to pre-Sync parameters if it doesn’t work out, that’s why we have 4 presets
mellow linden
Can try that team and swap the Support if it doesn’t work out. Glacia has Shadow Ball, but she might not end up using it
mellow linden
Sometimes you just gotta take a crack at it and see how it works out
pure haven
Wait why do presets say to bring atk and sp atk 1 and 3 for off-type post?
Isn't that giving them too much damage?
mellow linden
I assume it’s either that or using much less favorable parameters when it comes to most off-type setups
mellow linden
Since you’re not using field effects you can swap both for the “can’t change weather/terrain/zone” parameter
pure haven
Yeah
That's what I'm using
I was off by 100 and I rather bring strenght 1
Than atk/sp.atk 3
mellow linden
Understandable
nocturne pawn
It's not that she's getting a literal defense boost
it is actually boosting her defense
doubling the base stat
pure haven
it is actually boosting her defense
I meant like not showing it to you
nocturne pawn
oh then yeah its not visible unless you pay attention to the passive vomit at the beginning
i still havent tried this week but i imagine glacia is light work with raihan
pure haven
Like, we know Sentry and Wise buffs defenses, but it's not like we can see them unless we use poma tools
nocturne pawn
worst idea ever: flygon raihan and ss brendan to become the most hilarious overkill you ever see
and hopefully one shot with steel beam cuz thats funny
fiery canopy
bluhh ok time to teambuild
for glacia im thinking i fight her r1 with solgaleo and hop, but i still need to get my medals in
pure haven
What medals are u missing?
fiery canopy
fire, water, electric, grass, poison, ground
pure haven
And send your roster so we can help u
pure haven
Diantha, Mina and Lodge Dawn for Sidney
Raihan, Lucian and Ellio for Glacia
Cyrus, ssAcerola and Sycamore can work for Drake
Phoebe it's tricky tho since u need something to inflict paralysis
mellow linden
Would leave Fire and Ground to fit onto the last Elite 4 and/or the Champion
pure haven
OH SHIT RIGHT
mellow linden
Phoebe can be hit by any status
pure haven
Phoebe can be hit by any status
Yeah
mellow linden
It’s goofy as heck, but Flannery + Ingo + SS Hau on Phoebe, maybe
mellow linden
Or just Roxie + Lucy team if they can be fully gridded
pure haven
Wait Lodge Dawn counts as bug or grass?
mellow linden
Should be Bug, but SS Acerola in your recommendations covers Grass
pure haven
Oh yeah
pure haven
Or just Roxie + Lucy team if they can be fully gridded
How good is Roxie now that she has EX and grid expansion?
I think they did grid expansion
mellow linden
Even just her grid made her a great option, EX is icing on the cake
mellow linden
I did 2.5k on Wallace with Roxie + Lucy + Sonia just today
pure haven
Love poison jab as an attack
I couldn't do Phoebe on R3 and had to just reset and try R1
And still had trouble since Zebstrika just dies lol
mellow linden
This week can definitely be brutal depending on roster
mellow linden
No Volkner?
pure haven
I'm glad I didn't had to deal with last week since I was doing medal 💀
mellow linden
Volkner + an Electric damage-dealer should make it fairly easy if you’re willing to RNG reset for early Paralysis
formal vigil
And still had trouble since Zebstrika just dies lol
how is zebstrika dieing?
pure haven
how is zebstrika dieing?
Sides AOE and recoil damage
Had to resort to Aaron's heal and elesa tm for more healing
fiery canopy
r1 glacia w ingo/solgaleo/hop done
pure haven
Nice
mellow linden
If Elesa isn’t 3/5 you may want to try BP Sophocles or Hau as your damage-dealer instead
pure haven
But if u r doing MM later try not to use Solgaleo
Sentry Entry makes it so that Solgaleo doesn't do shit
pure haven
If Elesa isn’t 3/5 you may want to try BP Sophocles or Hau as your damage-dealer...
She is 3/5
fiery canopy
kk!
mellow linden
If you don’t have a special Steel damage-dealer or Palentine’s Marnie then yeah, off-type or Poison stall would be better for Glacia on Master Mode
pure haven
It's just that she started getting way to much damage from recoil after
pure haven
If you don’t have a special Steel damage-dealer or Palentine’s Marnie then yeah,...
He has Raihan
mellow linden
It's just that she started getting way to much damage from recoil after
Did you get her Standfast tiles?
mellow linden
He has Raihan
Ah, so they do
mellow linden
Fair enough
pure haven
So she was still getting mad recoil lol
And side dealing like 500 per hit
God bless flinch RNG with Volkner 
nocturne pawn
volkner feels surprisingly complete at 1/5
pure haven
Wish he had Hostile Environment on grid tho
proud axle
Needs another 5 points if he wants 100%
What if we got DeNA to accidentally give him 5 more points of Aggravation instead
pure haven
Maybe not HE 5 so he has 100 para but maye like 3 or 4 so RNG doesn't destroy me that often
proud axle
If this is about Phoebe, I'm thinking I'd add Surgechu into the mix for a reliable Paralyze.
...Or I would, if I weren't gonna just throw Redchu at it
Just sort of fall into building a monotype team
mellow linden
They already did Phoebe, I think
It’s more just me seeing if there’s anything I could spot that should probably be adjusted next time
And there’s not really anything of that sort
fiery canopy
FUUUUCK I FUCKING MISSED ROCK TYPE

And the game still register hits like nothing us happening. Y0. This stage is rigged brah. 😮💨
tired sleet
There’s a limit so once you get +6 evasion, accuracy debuffs don’t matter

It doesn't scale worse than a net -6 hitrate?
nocturne pawn
wait, 10% of 10k is 1k not 100

Yeah
That should lead to 6/12 (or 50%) hitrate

if you did 10k that would be reduced to 2.5k then divided by 10 to 250

Hmm how do you avoid Thunder Wave with Ss Mina GardeDiantha & Lucian team?
Confuse Absol?
formal vigil
only way to avoid it is to kill absol before he uses it
quaint solar
Can you not paralyze and poison 🤔
formal vigil
or have ssmina run lithe lucky skill
noble plaza
Should I save Bertha for Wallace or use her for Drake? I do need a Ground medal but someone suggested using Bertha + Poison stall for Wallace
sick inlet
Hmm how do you avoid Thunder Wave with Ss Mina GardeDiantha & Lucian team?
Whoever is your tank can just run Lithe if possible!
sick inlet
Should I save Bertha for Wallace or use her for Drake? I do need a Ground medal ...
Why do you need to save her for Wallace?
You can poison Stall
Without Bertha
noble plaza
Oh no I know that
sick inlet
How many types are you missing?
noble plaza
I guess the suggestion was that it would be faster haha
Oh I just need Dragon (which is covered already with Drake team), Poison, and Ground
sick inlet
Well if you can't fit Bertha anywhere you surely can throw her in a stall team
Especially since she can Trap and stealth rocks too
Makes the stall a bit quicker
noble plaza
Yeah that's why I mentioned possibly saving her for Wallace
But I could also see her being useful for Drake since he sets up Rain
sick inlet
You can use her in either spots
You most likely will end Drake before he benefits from his rain
What's your drake team?
noble plaza
So far it's Cyrus and Skyla
Oh for some reason I assumed Drake started out with Rain
sick inlet
I am guessing your Cyrus does not have the expanded grid
noble plaza
Oh no he does
elfin wigeon
Hey guys, I'm actually trying to make 5 different teams to deal with Champion Stadium master mode so that it's possible to check 10 to 15 types with only 1 run.
Do you think it is possible ? Let's admit that we got any sync pairs
noble plaza
I almost always get 11 types done week 1
oh wait you're talking about Master Mode
I often end up changing the team when it comes to MM
mellow linden
Wait, is this Master Mode or just for type medal to unlock Master Mode?
Because type medal is no longer required for a given region once you have Master Mode unlocked
sick inlet
MM often has monotype teams, since it's easier to do ontype
mellow linden
Less "monotype" and more "less worried about duplicate types"
noble plaza
I do sometimes find myself doing Monotype haha.
mellow linden
Sometimes there's a happy coincidence of a monotype team having proper synergy, yeah, it's just not necessarily the norm
noble plaza
oh no 100%
Usually that happens with sand teams or SC Submas teams for me (SC Ingo and Emmet + Aaron)
mellow linden
But anyway, if you're trying to do a challenge run where you use 10-15 types on Master Mode it'd still be doable, just a lot harder
sick inlet
Oh for some reason I assumed Drake started out with Rain
Cyrus with Hydro pump in rain might end up doing more damage than spacial rend
That is if you don't have the expanded grid that you get from the villain event
noble plaza
that does sound like a fun challenge haha
mellow linden
If it's just type medal unlocking it's stupidly easy
noble plaza
Cyrus with Hydro pump in rain might end up doing more damage than spacial rend
...
I do have the expanded grid
sick inlet
Then Cyrus is good to go
noble plaza
Oh I was definitely going Cyrus, I was less sure about the other teammates.
I was actually wondering if I should bother trying to change the weather
since he can benefit from Rain
sick inlet
I don't think you need to control the weather in that specific stage
elfin wigeon
Wait, is this Master Mode or just for type medal to *unlock* Master Mode?
Oh alright, it's for unlock master mode
mellow linden
I might be overthinking this since it's just hard mode haha
Oh, if it's Hard Mode then slap someone who can apply a status change (confusion, trap, etc.) on the team and you'll be fine
noble plaza
mellow linden
Oh alright, it's for unlock master mode
Then yeah, very easy to get 10-15 types in 1 week
Would need to see your roster to offer any specifics, tho
noble plaza
like I said I usually get 11 types out week 1
sick inlet
Oh alright, it's for unlock master mode
As long as you do 10-13 types week 1
You give yourself good room for the next week. That's if you're struggling at all.
If no struggles go for 15
Do 3 next week
Viola
noble plaza
elfin wigeon
Would need to see your roster to offer any specifics, tho
I'm only looking for best possible teams to do that, let's say we got any sync pairs available
Also main criterias are fast & confortable runs
mellow linden
There's no one true best possible plan, there's far too many good solutions to the problem
And it'd be stupid to just say "run these pairs" when we have no idea who you even have available
elfin wigeon
Then let's say we can do really nice teams and want to get 15 types
noble plaza
that's still a wide net
mellow linden
We can't offer any specific advice that's actually good without knowing your roster
+tracker is a good way to show it, but screenshots from the Move Level menu are fine

The thing is, all new units power creep eventually. Newer units seem more broken than the older ones. With that being said the tier list of "best" units of each usage can be found as well.
elfin wigeon
Oh alright, thanks for those
noble plaza
I meant the tier list part of it
It's kind of annoying to have to look through a whole tier list for a specific pair
(off topic but what R5 param should I go for poison stalling Wallace)
sick inlet
If you understand the role of said unit I don't think you will take too long to find it
sick inlet
(off topic but what R5 param should I go for poison stalling Wallace)
For the stall you can do 2 or 4
Well
4
2 will be counterproductive
noble plaza
I did, dw!
I decided to save Bertha for Wallace because it was satisfying finishing off my last two types in the last battle, and because of Schadenfreude
noble plaza
Some people forget sometimes 🥲
are you speaking from experience? 
sick inlet
I may or may not have been a victim
tired sleet
I decided to save Bertha for Wallace because it was satisfying finishing off my ...
Who’s Schadenfreude?
noble plaza
it's a word.
pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
Who should I use to off-type Glacia? I'd rather save Cyrus for Drake.
pure haven
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vF42uzF-xpkcfIU2gVEY4Dl7sS_I3ITj8g5X2lo1usA/...
Funny how tier list doesn't matter once you get the hang of units and team building
hushed sorrel
Glacial has sentry 2 so maybe use Lysandre
old orchid
Who should I use to off-type Glacia? I'd rather save Cyrus for Drake.
I have to admit, your offtype options for Glacia are a bit hopeless. Ghetsis + Irida is your best bet but Glacia also gets boosted by zone. I dont know much about Lucian + Focus Blast Solgaleo without zone. You can always do poison stall tho
Oh right 1/5 SS Lysandre, slap rain with him and see how it goes then
noble plaza
Oh right 1/5 SS Lysandre, slap rain with him and see how it goes then
ooo ok
wait actually why am i trying to r1 Glacia
hushed sorrel
R1 fits well for Phoebe
noble plaza
yeah I'm going to do that instead
old orchid
R1 is for Sidney or Phoebe
noble plaza
I'll probably do Phoebe since I have Volkner
hushed sorrel
Sidney I stalled lol it was so hard
noble plaza
oh dear
old orchid
Fairy doesnt have good accessible options 
hushed sorrel
Also there was like no one else that can remove the paralyze. So had to use Sycamore stall
old orchid
I think he will be fine with Sycamore and a crit support for Bede
hushed sorrel
I did it on 2
old orchid
R2 is good but watch out if you go post sync
noble plaza
that's the thing, I'm not totally sure if I need to post-sync or not
Also, i had BP Surge, Volkner, and Liza for hard mode vs Phoebe. I feel like I should replace Liza but I'm not sure for who. Maybe with Sonia?
noble plaza
niiice
noble plaza
For Volkner vs Phoebe should I replace the interference immunity w/ something else?
old orchid
turn off both interference and status immunity params
pure haven
Iirc insead of interf imm and strike damage x3 I took strenght 1
noble plaza
yeah that was the idea but what would i use instead
noble plaza
oh i already put Strength ^ 1
pure haven
Can u send me ur params?
noble plaza
wait. i dont have a striker with BP Surge, Volkner, and Sonia.
3x Strike damage is a freebie

paper summit
hang on, why are you using that team when you have a 4/5 Elesa and Hau EX?
tame gust
Oh.. I’ve completely forgotten to do Ice CS.. time to scramble
pure haven
U can bring Elesa, Volkner and Aaron or Hilbert
noble plaza
...I totally forgot about 4/5 Elesa 💀
noble plaza
hang on, why are you using that team when you have a 4/5 Elesa and Hau EX?
I wasn't going to use Hau because I think she's more weak to physical. I also wanted to take advantage of R1 params.
...and also because I just got Volkner and I wanted to play with my new toy haha
paper summit
based on what? she has the same values for both defenses, no damage mitigation to any type of damage and crits don't care about their defensive buffs
noble plaza
...fair
I actually don't know why I assumed that 😅
For Elesa should I go Wild Charge Sync Nuke or Spark Sync Nuke?
pure haven
Wild charge
tame gust
So for Ice CS, avoid Drake on R4. Do him R1 and go at em with Candice/Snow and Hala with a decent physical wall, yeah?
pure haven
...I totally forgot about 4/5 Elesa 💀
If it helps, I did it R1 with Elesa, Volkner and Aaron
Aaron serves as a healer for Elesa
noble plaza
niiice
tame gust
Kay gonna throw some teams together and see what the opinions are
pure haven
Next week Sidney has Dark zone 💀
For him I bring Aaron, Bugsy and Noland right?
For Ice weak Drake, would be better cBede, Ghetsis and Irida or Hilbert, Candice and scSteven I don't wanna go through that hell again?
I think It looks good enough
paper summit
you know the guy is anti special damage, so the first team is not gonna have a great time
pure haven
I know
But I already did Drake on special stadium
And did it with hilbert, candice and scsteven
The RNG check was hell 💀
paper summit
you can still win, given 2 master fairs in the team, tbh I completely forgot about Wise Entry x2 and won with Irida and BP Candice
mellow linden
I assume no Hala yet?

I just run him with Irida and whatever sp atk crit support buffer I have
I u don't have Irida, u can try Lucian as a sp def and atk debuffer
Which actually synergizes really well with Ghetsis
tame gust
I’m saving Irida for r5. Might just OT for r3 and r4 seeing as my ice roster is kinda meh. My Lucian is only 1/5
Thoughts?
pure haven
I’m saving Irida for r5. Might just OT for r3 and r4 seeing as my ice roster is ...
It's ice cs?
Oh yea it says there lol
U gonna stall Agatha?
Also Lucian 1/5 serves just fine
Most of the time u only want him 'cuz of growl
At least on my case
tame gust
I might stall Agatha or I might switch Agatha and Shauntal
pure haven
I see
I would actually take bp Morty for the stall team
And switch nidoqueen with Janine
You'll be fine with Koga
And on Marnie team I would put Ghetsis instead of lodge Elesa
Ghetsis counter everything that Marnie has
Can you sen me your roster? I want to see if you can build something better for Shauntal
tame gust
Yeah lemme pull up tracker real quick
pure haven
grand steppe
This is for Ice CS?
grand steppe
I mean, I see plenty of off-type options if you've already used Hala, Ghetsis, Candice, Irida.
pure haven
I would personally off-type Shauntal with cMarnie
tame gust
yeah, I'm thinking of going that route
pure haven
And off-type with Cyrus, May and either cBede or ssBrendan
Sycamore it's also an option
pure haven
And off-type with Cyrus, May and either cBede or ssBrendan
For koga*
Koga and Agatha are easy
Most problem is Drake
tame gust
ehh, Sycamore feels like he's a bit slow to get his sync boost up. and Drake just dies to Hala/OG Candice, yeah?
pure haven
Yeah
With Candice's sync nuke u should be alright
If not, u can swap Hala with Kukui for defense debuff
tame gust
yeah I EX'd OG Candice a couple weeks ago
grand steppe
I see: Cyrus, Giovanni, cMarnie, scEmmet as strong off-type strike options.
May, ssErika, scZinnia, Masked Royal, ssr Cynthia, ssMay as tech options.
pure haven
No need to def debuff
grand steppe
Should be pretty easy if setup properly.
pure haven
And if you really need a stall you can Lucy, Janine and bp Morty
tame gust
I wanna use Tech Queen because disrespect.
pure haven
Lastly, for Marnie I would go ssBrendan or cBede, Irida and Ghetsis
tame gust
but yeah.
pure haven
You can also try Drake R4 in case you are having trouble
Cuz of phys x1.3
Makes it to nuke way easier
Use cMarnie for shauntal
And Lucian
And change cBede for something tankier not like cBede can't tank a shit ton of hits
Mostly because cMarnie doesn't need too much help
She's like her own unit lol
tame gust
she really is which is why I like just keeping her to the side. she stomps things.
pure haven
Yeah
She's the most braindead striker I've used and I love her all the way through
Lastly, for Agatha you can off-type with Cyrus, May and a support
Agatha literally kills herslef so it's not a big deal
pure haven
I see: Cyrus, Giovanni, cMarnie, scEmmet as strong off-type strike options.
May,...
I always forget ssErika exists
pure haven
she really is which is why I like just keeping her to the side. she stomps thing...
How's it going?
tame gust
oh, got challenged to mario kart. I'll be done carting in about an hour

tame gust
almost got the win against drake r1. sadly one side lived and got me with the EQ
grand steppe
the team?
tame gust
Hala, EX OG Candice, and EX Hilbert. I think I should've sync'd with Hilbert first? I did candice sync first
don't have any gauntlet LS, sadly
grand steppe
You could sync with a tech first. but I'd only do so for a denial.
Like KOing Left, mid-queue.
Hala should easily clean up the right side.
pure haven
almost got the win against drake r1. sadly one side lived and got me with the EQ

He'll hit harder, but he can't kill u if u kill him first

well, on Koga r4 and I'm kinda at a loss on what to hit him with. he's slamming me super hard even before sync but I'm using the traditional pre-sync params. Might need to tone it down to post sync strength or stall him
both the Carnie and May/Cyrus OT sets are done and I doubt BP Candice is gonna cut it when Koga's deciding to rip me a new one.

quite a few, actually. but I can't seem to deal any big damage before Koga blasts my tank
toxic cobalt
Which tanks are you using?

original idea was Bulurola then I remembered "Oh, right, Koga's flying/poison and mixed attack" so that wasn't gonna work.
tried Tea Lillie, but that didn't work ou-- Oh wait, I've got access to Sycamore and Aaron. tf am I doing lmao
grand steppe
If you got Irida for r5, why not just use scZinna for this
tame gust
yep, that's what I'm doing. Aaron, SC-Z, and I'm debating between MR or either a defense or attack dropper.
yep that did it
and down she goes
thanks everyone for the team tips!
Final fight was Ghetsis, Irida and CBede.. which was overkill lmao
noble plaza
so if I have aaron, volkner, and elesa (w/ Zebstrika) versing R1 Phoebe, what should my last parameter be if I'm not taking either No Status Conditions or Interference Immunity

Many people have a tough time with Glacia. Do you have EX supports?

No, you just need to add strength. Blizzard spam is pain.

You can try poison stall or sleep hax if it's too much of an issue

Also, woo, Hoenn MM unlocked.

Poison Stall wants a different type of patience that I no longer offer.

Poison Stall wants a different type of patience that I no longer offer.
