[north crown]

OOO 1/5 Looker

[swift swan]

ew 1/5 looker

[lime raven]

looker sucks

exactly

[north crown]

bro he's built for ontype

[lime raven]

i mean hes a goat but he sucks for poison

[north crown]

what is this unnecessary slander

[silver dirge]

I agree with the notion tho looker does suck

[lime raven]

I feel like lysandre has such a little presence in poma

[old orchid]

#poma-lounge for unrelated topics please yall

[swift swan]

Bruno: Aaron, Selene, filler
Will: Looker, Sycamore, filler
Karen: Bugsy? Not sure how 1/5 Burgh performs. Hop as the support, and a filler

Lance: Cyrus, Winona, Roxanne

[lime raven]

Sorry gakon

Its just easy sometimes

[spark wren]

Oh sorry, my burgh is 3/5 rn

i actually pulled 2 more aand forgot to update

lemme go full update on it to see what else is wrong

[swift swan]

either burgh or bugsy can work then

[silver dirge]

You gotta do the Galar event to get Hop btw

[formal vigil]

Would a 3/5 ex rose with 5/5 ex gordie be able to work against rock weak malva despite the sentry entry x2

[old orchid]

yes ofc

[swift swan]

i'm pretty sure they will

[old orchid]

she has lower hp than average (only 17k)

[spark wren]

Right lemme go get hop

[lime raven]

Hop is goated

He clutches up

[spark wren]

this one right

[lime raven]

no

the other one

[spark wren]

[lime raven]

Yes that one lmao

[north crown]

looker + sycamore..? seriously? and on a physical stage too...? just bring skyla dammit

[old orchid]

we recommend to get all units in Legendary Adventures as soon as possible

[spark wren]

Will do

[north crown]

yeah they're all goated (except maybe zinnia, but she can preform well in the right circumstances)

her powerboost is goated tho

[lime raven]

Too bad you cant get that just yet

[spark wren]

Where do i get the right hop

[north crown]

L Adv

[lime raven]

what

In the galar

Thing

[old orchid]

Story -> Legendary Adventure

[lime raven]

I just realized we should help tav in a different channel

[silver dirge]

No this is for CS

[old orchid]

its the same place where you get Sycamore

[lime raven]

Yeah and hes getting the free pairs rn

[spark wren]

got it

[lime raven]

Which he needs help with

[north crown]

hey we did talk about cs, but then we veered to L Adv since they would help here

[lime raven]

Exactly

[north crown]

so TECHNICALLY we're still on topic

[old orchid]

we just told them to go to LA and nothing else

[grave wyvern]

Here is fine for this conversation

[lime raven]

sure

yeah

i guess

[swift swan]

hey, that sludge bomb hurts

Will's physical moves only include his stomp and sync (which he doesn't use as often)

besides if the battle ever drags on to postsync, sycamore will make use of that grassy terrain

[lime raven]

Smart

[old orchid]

post sync Giga Drain on terrain hurts

so Sycamore makes sense

[swift swan]

if you want a defense buffer as the filler for the third unit, sure

[lime raven]

Can i have apprentice role

[old orchid]

please refrain from saying random things here

[lime raven]

Ok sorry

I mean

No yeah ok

[old orchid]

you get the role when the staff team sees you worthy

[lime raven]

hm ok

and i suppose i do that by being cool

[north crown]

NANU LES GOOOOOO

[swift swan]

you do that by providing assistance respectfully to the playerbase

[old orchid]

and not doing what you did earlier

[swift swan]

was thinking defense buffer instead of debuffer but heck, i think he works

[lime raven]

i definitely dont feel that helpful yet

[north crown]

horn leech + def debuff = immortality

[lime raven]

Oh like uh

[spark wren]

[lime raven]

when i said

[north crown]

especially on hard mode

[lime raven]

not that one

right so note to self dont be sarcastic

[north crown]

kalos isn't thhhatttt hard...

[lime raven]

lmao

ban this person mods

wait i just did it myself

[swift swan]

Tav can you send your updated roster again?

[silver dirge]

y'all also gotta keep this on topic to CS lol

[lime raven]

SO MANY RULES

Not that im complaining ofc

[swift swan]

I want to recap

[lime raven]

por favor

[spark wren]

Got NC Blue after this

And getting the Legendary Adventure ones

[lime raven]

Wait so you needed help with the normal cs?

[paper summit]

if you have nothing of value to say, maybe just don't say anything?

[north crown]

apparently so

[lime raven]

you’re right sorry odinson

my fault

[north crown]

sonia, selene, nanu or some bs

[lime raven]

time to jus turn off my personality ig

[swift swan]

R2 vs Bruno: Aaron, Selene, filler (maybe a defense buffer? Screw it, put NC Leaf)
R3 vs Will: Looker, Sycamore, Nanu (I'm taking a gamble here by having infinite Grassy Terrain postsync. 1/5 Looker with defense debuffs should pull through)
R4 vs Karen: Bugsy, Hop, Masked Royal (masked royal is simply for defense debuffs)
R5 vs Lance: Cyrus, Winona, Roxanne. Grid Cyrus for Hydro Pump grid if possible.

[lime raven]

Yes listen to novemberninth

[swift swan]

i want to use sonia somewhere but if she's 1/5 she can't buff crit yet

[lime raven]

wait wait wait

Shes 1/5???!

[swift swan]

well according to this

[spark wren]

yeah 1/5

[lime raven]

Ohhhh man

i thought you meant yours was

I was bouta say

[swift swan]

give this a try. dont' forget to triple queue

and if you die to Will's barrage of attacks under grassy terrain we'll change the team

[spark wren]

Got it tyvm

[lime raven]

Wow you have nc leaf and i dont

[swift swan]

hopefully not. i have little to no faith in looker i'm sorry but even he can't mess up ontype CS hard mode....

[lime raven]

Man and i only see roxie there

aside from looker

Why not off type

[north crown]

it's hard mode. I don't think you have to worry about that

[north crown]

medal

[lime raven]

ohhhh yeah its been a minute

i forgot about those

[swift swan]

Selene can only buff crit to 2 (the MPR sucks) and, idk, despite the higher crit chance, it's kinda cringe

[lime raven]

i guess off type isnt an option then

[spark wren]

So get them all to 120 and do some grid?

[lime raven]

Not just any grid

[calm marsh]

You should do no grid first

[lime raven]

You gotta be wise with that

okay that

[spark wren]

kk

[swift swan]

I think for hard mode, no grid is fine

the legendary adventures at the very least are worth minimal grid investments

[spark wren]

Got it, super late for me so gonna try it tomorrow, saved the teams

[lime raven]

BRUH

wait sorry

i didnt say bruh at that

[spark wren]

Tyvm for the help

[lime raven]

i just forgot that you were doing the medal

And i feel hella slow for asking again why not off type

[spark wren]

i'll be back with a up to date tracker too

[lime raven]

Yeah i probably shouldnt help for now

i’ll leave that to the experts

[north crown]

"experts"

[calm marsh]

Unless you have super strong pair or dont have good pair for on type then on type is better than off type

[wicked pebble]

Question, how many good Sun setters are there?

Asking for fire cs

[silver dirge]

A couple, depends on your roster

[north crown]

blaine, lyra, silver, sserika, ssmorty, tech ninetails, adaman, uhhh

[silver dirge]

NC Leaf to begin with, 3/5 for reliable

[calm marsh]

Support Fuecoco

[grave wyvern]

SS Acerola as well

[old orchid]

Paldea starters event starting close to Fire CS's end

[wicked pebble]

Don't have SS Acerola.

[old orchid]

you should have Blaine and Silver at minimum

[wicked pebble]

This is what I have when I search sun setters, not including Ninetales.

[north crown]

I think Lord Typh has been in the server for a while now

[swift swan]

on-demand sun setters include Blaine and Tech Ninetails

[wicked pebble]

I'm just double checking on this.

[swift swan]

there are some max flare users too ig, like Gordie

[wicked pebble]

In case the in game filters missed something.

[silver dirge]

Alright, she's at 5/5 so that's easy.

[hushed sorrel]

Just did 1st sync on every pasio champion with SS Red 😂

[wind portal]

how is my blue arcanine getting so destroyed by blizzard from articuno

[silver dirge]

Get a spdef buffing unit, make sure you're disabling hail

[keen jasper]

Are you changing the weather?

[wind portal]

yes theres sun

[old orchid]

you might choose too many offensive params

[wind portal]

this is through +6 sp def from lucario 🤦‍♂️

[wind portal]

i had to tone it down to 1k points..

[silver dirge]

😳 yeah are you running like all the atk up ones?

[old orchid]

we have recommended param sets in the pins

[wind portal]

just some mild atk buffs nothing crazy

[old orchid]

you dont have to go for max points immediately, just go for the highest point possible then reset for more points if you feel you can improve

[old orchid]

thats the problem

[wind portal]

im also mmissing the 20/20

i guess i slacked during the vent

event

is there any way to get them now?

[swift swan]

20/20 of what, exactly?

[wind portal]

the power ups, dont you get them for free with free units?

[swift swan]

yes, free units like bluecanine, swimmisty, classic gio get their power ups for free from the event shop

[old orchid]

yes but 20/20 of who?

we need specific examples

[wind portal]

Sorry, blue arcanine

[wet gate]

Which of the special stadium should I paralyse with blue

[old orchid]

anyone, as long as the team has answer to their gimmicks

[latent token]

Ash is used, who is best to use against koga

[silver dirge]

NC Marnie can clear it pretty smoothly

[old orchid]

Koga from Johto CS or Pasio CS?

[swift swan]

which Koga specifically, we have two

[old orchid]

please be more specific

[latent token]

Pasio

Sorry

[old orchid]

can you post your Fire type roster?

[swift swan]

can you show us your entire roster? use the tracker

+tracker

[frozen depot]

Link : https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/
Use this video guide to properly filter your pairs : https://imgur.com/a/2ONrAcl
Fill your pairs > Turn Visibility only for "Have" > Filter by Type then Role > Turn On "Separators" > Print with "Image" button

[old orchid]

oh yeah this is better

[latent token]

I takes way too long to put stuff in

[old orchid]

you can take screenshots of your roster ingame

[latent token]

Oh

[old orchid]

but we recommend filling in the tracker eventually, because it helps us getting better understanding of your roster

[latent token]

It aint much to be honest

Thats why im hoping to offtype

[swift swan]

I do think offtyping Koga (meaning adding more bulk because you can't pick standard damage reduction) isn't a good idea considering he already has crit shield

[latent token]

Whats some good tanks to use with nc marnie

[latent token]

I really lack fire dmg tho

[swift swan]

she's very self sufficient so it depends on the stage. just a speed buffer that can buff sp def is fine

[swift swan]

hmm. that crit shield is gonna screw people either way

well, you can try NC Marnie I suppose

the third can be a sp def debuffer if you have one. lucian is ideal

[latent token]

Any good fire dmg dealers in gen pool?

[old orchid]

Ethan is good now, while Serena wants 3/5 and EX to have good nuke

Bluecanine and Silver are also solid

[latent token]

So i could try a team with ethan for koga?

[old orchid]

idt Ethan is good on Koga, since his dps isnt enough

[hushed sorrel]

Koga is the one with the shield before sync right?

[old orchid]

you should use someone has very good dps like Bluecanine, or good nuke like Silver to defeat him before he has a chance to setup crit shield

[hushed sorrel]

Bluecanine.. was hard for Koga for me.

Silver might be easier

I gave up and used ss red 😂

[old orchid]

well any strong dps is good

you can use sun to boost the damage further

[pure pond]

I have a question regarding the 2500 points params

there is pre-sync more hp and pre-sync more dmg, does that mean that i do more dmg or that they do more dmg

[hushed sorrel]

If you read the checklist for what box you tick you might see that it is obvious

[latent token]

My silver is not powerboosted tho

That miiiight be a problem

[hushed sorrel]

Just off type you have a ton of op mons lol

[pure pond]

uhm okay, thanks

[latent token]

What strategy should i use

Post sync?

Nc marnie does no damage when i use her

[hushed sorrel]

Pre sync is always better

So generally speaking. You want to get 2 sync in before they get their first sync

You either quad queue or use something with adrenaline 1

[latent token]

Quad que?

[hushed sorrel]

So if you have a strong nuker. Ie tech you can just support ex then get sync in. Or if you have dps ex. You can sync twice. You might need a partner that can reduce sync by 1 after 1st Sync.

Quad queue is after you sync. You queue two more moves, then you basically squeeze 1 more move in before enemy queue their move.

It's not like anything special, but you basically spam a move after your sync. But a lot of pokemon have passive that stop it from happening. In those situations you want to use adrenaline 1.

So general cs strategy in a nut shell - get 2 sync before enemy 1st Sync.

You can do this by.
Quad queue
Adrenaline 1
Moves that reduce sync countdown by 1

The team make up usually have at least 1 ex if you want it to be easier.
Ex dps - can just sync twice
Support ex - sync first then sync with dps.

Watch this clip at 50 seconds https://youtu.be/iIWbAvC2hiA?si=JI0d0IAP6b32qHU-

[latent token]

So just spam sync moves got it

Problem is i dont think marnie can endure long enough to gwt two sync moves off

[hushed sorrel]

Spam move after sync move

[latent token]

I think koga nukes hard

[hushed sorrel]

Kog has no aoe

Except electroweb I think

[latent token]

Would hop be a good tank? Or syc?

Oh i need ex

[hushed sorrel]

Yes

[latent token]

Right

[hushed sorrel]

Hop is good

[latent token]

Ill se if i can ex him

[hushed sorrel]

No don't

[latent token]

Ok

[hushed sorrel]

Hop you can wait for event

[latent token]

He is good as is?

[hushed sorrel]

Yes for now

Marnie needs gauge

[latent token]

So hop marnie and?

[hushed sorrel]

O wait it has speed as well dang its so broken

I would use misty psyduck Instead

Save hop for a physical attacker

Do you have Lucian?

[latent token]

Not sure

[hushed sorrel]

Psychic

It's way easier to help if you use the tracker like we told you hahaha

[latent token]

But its so long to set up

But alright

[pure pond]

hm, i really cant get bug or plant done

[latent token]

How do you share it?

[hushed sorrel]

There is like an export at the bottom left corner

[hushed sorrel]

What's your roster

[swift swan]

i see ss hilbert

he destroys bug-weak

brendan + ss erika is a strong core for Grass

[pure pond]

yea i tried yesterday and im trying today too

i just cant get the job done

[swift swan]

what's the team? and remind me again if this is hard mode or master mode?

[pure pond]

master

yesterday you told me already and i was able to clear ice and poison but im stuck at those 2 😄

[hushed sorrel]

Just poison stall

[latent token]

I clucked export but only got like a code

[swift swan]

what's the team you're using on Karen? SS Hilbert + good gauge support should be enough. can even dual strike with burgh, for example, if gauge allows

[pure pond]

i tried ssh, hop, lodge dawn and i also tried ssh, alakazam, blastoise

[swift swan]

hop does nothing

[pure pond]

yea noticed that, i saw it in a video but he was using physical dps

i just wanted to try it

[hushed sorrel]

Sycamore Janine and koga

[hushed sorrel]

Can you tell D how you export this image

[pure pond]

yea 1 sec

you click on "image"

and after that you click on the arrow

[hushed sorrel]

In my opinion. I would just finish the stages quickly get the reward then experiment afterwards. And having 2 poison stall lime up makes that much easier.

[pure pond]

yea okay

[hushed sorrel]

Sycamore/ Janine / potion or another poison

Misty psyduck / ghetsis / Lucy

Can be your poison line up

[hushed sorrel]

You have Lucian. It basically debuff sp def and give you speed. 1 gauge growl

[latent token]

+pokedex

How get pokedex

[hushed sorrel]

Don't know go to pomatool website

Also your image if you filter and hide 'not have' and order it by type and role its a lot easier to read

[hushed sorrel]

Ss leaf + Sycamore + Janine can do most stage on poison stall param.

Misty psyduck + ghetsis + Lucy would be another

I'm out

[latent token]

Thanks

[pure pond]

Maybe i should ex ssh to clear the stages? 😄

well i did 7.5k, at least something

[harsh shuttle]

As a beginner to master mode since I can only have 4 presets, which ones should I use?

[silver dirge]

You can change the presets before each round though, this shouldn't be a problem. Altho there are recommended params in the pins

[old orchid]

save 2 presets for ontype and offtype params, use the rest for different strats

[harsh shuttle]

That’s what I mean, which of those recommended should I use as a beginner

2500 or 850

[analog timber]

Need help on my journey to first 12.5k. Beat Grimsley with a Lucy, Janine, SS Misty poison stall, and Koga with a CLeaf, Blaine, Hop combo. Am completely stuck on options for the other two, any suggestions?

[silver dirge]

You can always re-do CS stages, so you can start at 850 then work your way up. That way you'll get all the rewards for 3400 pts, and then try for others. Can go from 850->1500 maybe? Gradually increase

[harsh shuttle]

Ah that’s good to know

[silver dirge]

Or, you could give 2500pts a shot with your strongest teams and see how you go. If you start struggling with a stage, drop to 1500/850

[harsh shuttle]

Ty

[silver dirge]

Np!

[silver dirge]

You've got grass-weak and ice-weak left yea?

And then water for champ obv

[harsh shuttle]

By the way is the (more dmg) and (more hp) just preference?

[silver dirge]

Oh wait

[harsh shuttle]

What would you recommend

[old orchid]

depends on your playstyle

and the teams too, ofc

[silver dirge]

E.g if you find your teams are starting to die quick, opt for the HP params. If you find that they survive okay but can't do enough damage, go for the (more dmg) params

[harsh shuttle]

Ah ok thanks again

[silver dirge]

I'm having trouble seeing the move levels on this, is it just me?

Nvm

[old orchid]

for Glacia changing weather is a must

Red too

[silver dirge]

You haven't used Silver yet right? He can one shot glacia with sync, let me find the recording

[old orchid]

you wasted 2 great sun setters in the second clear

do you have tech Ninetales?

[silver dirge]

I don't see any other sun setters on the roster. Apart from Silver but that'd be too late

[old orchid]

there are Adaman and SS Erika

so its not hopeless

[silver dirge]

Oh oop

Blind

[old orchid]

you can save Adaman on Red because R5 parameter is permanent field effects

[silver dirge]

Oh so can do Hilbert, Erika, Silver

[old orchid]

on Glacia ofc

[silver dirge]

Ya

I can't find hilbert on the roster tho, I guess Aaron would also work?

[old orchid]

for Molayne use Bluecanine, NC Blue and Serena

[old orchid]

he cant help with speed buffs, but since their Silver is power boosted can use Marley

[silver dirge]

True true

Wait can Silver fully buff his atk by himself?

[analog timber]

I was trying that second roster against glacie and she was one shotting me with blizzard

[old orchid]

okay so we have come up with 2 teams:
SS Erika, Silver and Marley on Glacia: remember to grid Silver with Super Command and Berserker 2. You can try using the recommended -3 sync cd params to nuke Glacia within first sync

Bluecanine, NC Blue and Serena on Molayne: nothing too special, just time your sleep well

[silver dirge]

You gotta reset till she doesn't blizzard/icy wind in most cases

[analog timber]

Okay got it. Will run these in a little bit and report back. Thanks all

[old orchid]

[silver dirge]

good luck

[old orchid]

he can raise atk by 2 stage ranks whenever he uses his TM

with TM Berserker 2 gridded

[silver dirge]

oh right I forgot the default buff 🧠

[analog timber]

Is there video of the silver one-shot? Finding I can’t get to sync if someone dies, and blizzard, icy wind and draining kiss are all one-shot kills with the -3 params

[silver dirge]

Yeah, give me one sec

#1011173305702690876 message

[analog timber]

Thanks. He gets a miss third round on blizzard after two status moves. So I’m on track

[latent token]

Is serena 3/5 sufficient for taking on koga?

[silver dirge]

Which Serena

Delphox?

[keen jasper]

Prolly Delphox

Since it's fire-weak after all

[silver dirge]

She will probably struggle on her own, but sleep is good

[latent token]

Im struggling heavy with Koga pasio even tho i have top tier damage dealers

Offtype wise

[old orchid]

Can always resort to poison stalling

[latent token]

Should i use ss leaf ghetsis and plumeria for poison stall?

[mellow linden]

Plumeria offers nothing for Poison stall, run a tank instead

[latent token]

I saw misty psyduck ghetsis and lucy is a line up

[old orchid]

Use a bulky tank + Lucy + Janine

[silver dirge]

i'd go whatshername with the ariados instead

is that janine?

[latent token]

I dont think i have janine

[mellow linden]

Yeah

[cinder summit]

Janine & Ariados

Acquisition:

General Pool

Alternates:

Janine & Crobat

[old orchid]

She is a 3*

[latent token]

Ohhh

[silver dirge]

Venom drench will debuff atk sp atk and speed

[latent token]

Ss leaf sycamore and janine

[silver dirge]

aoe

[latent token]

Whats the strat?

[mellow linden]

Skyla would be better than Sycamore if she’s available. Koga is mostly phsyical damage

[latent token]

Should i level janine to 4 or 5 star?

[old orchid]

3* is fine

[latent token]

Any specific grid for her?

[old orchid]

No grid needed

Use Skyla Janine Lucy if you want to save a bit of time

Since trap damage helps a lot

[latent token]

Does anyone of them need grid or ex?

[silver dirge]

skyla should be gridded for potion + staggering but the latter isn't that important

that's about it

[latent token]

The strat is just to spam poison and heal then?

[silver dirge]

yea

poison everything, debuff w janine

and survive

wait it out till they die

[latent token]

Is lvl 130 enough?

[silver dirge]

should be yeah

[latent token]

What is ss leaf for?

[silver dirge]

Wait what are you running again?

I thought Skyla Janine Lucy no?

SS leaf has quicker poison cos AoE but she doesn't trap, which you're missing out a lotta damage per turn

Lucy can do both

[latent token]

Ohh lucy

Ill slot her in

[cinder summit]

Lucy & Seviper

Acquisition:

General Pool

Alternates:

None

[silver dirge]

just poison with lucy first thing, janine starts venom drenching, skyla just spams gust until you need heals. lucy will trap and poison everything else and then yeah wait it out

you've adjusted for poison stall params right?

[latent token]

Yes

Should i posion all og the@

?

All pf them

Or just koga

[silver dirge]

All of them definitely

That's the only way they'll go out cos you won't be doing any damage whatsoever with max defence params and no crit

[latent token]

Who should sync

Lucy?

[silver dirge]

It don't matter

[latent token]

Alright

I cant optimally grid skyla

I dont ahve like 3 of the end tiles

[silver dirge]

No one will do any damage. If you were running someone with synchro healing you'd sink with them

[silver dirge]

Not enough orbs or?

[latent token]

Yes

[silver dirge]

Just grab the potion stuff

Dw about staggering or whatever

[latent token]

It isnt possivle tp beute force him with sst red?

Possible to brute forve

Force

[silver dirge]

It is

Definitely possible

[latent token]

Does he have to be 3/5

[silver dirge]

I would not believe so

He should breeze through it honestly speaking

Red & Pika right?

[latent token]

Everyone says so but i yes

[silver dirge]

Throw him on there, if you want throw in a defense debuffer and another kanto pair and you should be just fine

[latent token]

Pasio fire

[silver dirge]

Yeah I did a full offtype run of them it's 100% doable sst red is broken

[latent token]

People say nc marnie is good and ash articuno

But i still cant beat them

[silver dirge]

NC marnie can clear 3.1k points offtype like it's nothing

Probably more

[latent token]

Why am i struggling ahhahah

[silver dirge]

U sure you choosing the right params?

There should be no defense in there, and make sure standard damage reduction is off

[latent token]

Pretty sure but my marnie gets nuked hard

[silver dirge]

Should be pre syncing

[latent token]

I use the offtype perims

[silver dirge]

Hmm

Are you sure you're running the right type of dmg reduction

Phys if you're running special and vice versa?

[latent token]

Pretty sure yes

Marnie is onlie 1/5

[silver dirge]

That's weird you shouldn't be struggling

[latent token]

And red articuno is only 2/5

[silver dirge]

Give me your comp, stage, power levels and whether they are EX or not and I'll record it

Actually I can't rn oop

[latent token]

Ehm sorry

[silver dirge]

No I mean run your NC marnie team and tell me what happens

[latent token]

Who should i team her with?

[peak stirrup]

I used the red to destroy the red

[latent token]

Just damage?

[silver dirge]

Lemi see

[latent token]

Ash is used

[silver dirge]

Anything tbh throw in some galarian pairs to buff the master assive

One should be a tank

[latent token]

Okdoki

[silver dirge]

Oh an EX support

Any EX support that can tank

[latent token]

Syc

Or hop

[silver dirge]

Do u got any others? I feel like both of those can help you in a later stage

[latent token]

I havent ex any support behind blue ahhah

[silver dirge]

Ah that's okay. Let's just try syncing with marnie if not we'll adjust

[latent token]

Sonia?

Does she have an ex?

[silver dirge]

Same case with sonia haha, if you have her save her for a different stage

[latent token]

She is 5/5

[silver dirge]

Unless she's 1/5 then slap her on there

[latent token]

Ahh ok

[silver dirge]

Yeah no okay save her

[latent token]

Hmmm

[silver dirge]

how many stages do you have left?

not including this one

[latent token]

3 besides red

Ive done glacia

Hard af

[silver dirge]

Okay, I think we should save sonia then

did you send your roster at any point here?

[latent token]

Ill send it

[silver dirge]

you have Lana and her aquatic spider yea? Slap her on there, from memory koga is physical so her def buffs will help. Doesn't matter if she's gridded/EX'd. For your third, put in any galarian pair

Just go TM marnie, TM Lana, whatever third, then start attacking with marnie, sync with marnie. you wanna try and quad queue after the sync, so don't go for the B move immediately, queue up another Fiery Wrath instead as quick as you can. The turn after, B move. I'm pretty sure that should clear it, if not one extra Fiery wrath

[latent token]

Just give me a sec

[silver dirge]

yea allg take your time. don't worry about the roster btw I scrolled up and found it

[latent token]

Something like this kinda

[silver dirge]

try this first and lmk how it goes

[latent token]

Did not get koga half way

[analog timber]

After about 300 attempts, finally got the Silver one shot. Between some self-inflicted (having ramming speed instead of inertia before I realized) and lots of aoe attacks

[silver dirge]

you gotta have one tank at least

Go for Lana

[zenith flame]

Who would y'all say is the hardest fight in the event?

[swift swan]

Red > Glacia > Koga > Molayne = Grimsley

[latent token]

Did not do alpt of damage

Like an 1/6 of his bar

[silver dirge]

show me the whole param list

You've got max HP here that's not good

[swift swan]

Strength 8 on Koga might be a little on the bulky side

[silver dirge]

I'm going to replicate this gimmi two secs

[swift swan]

And please don't stack HP and strength like that

[latent token]

I just followed the guide

[swift swan]

It's a guide for a reason, they're not meant to be followed to the letter. If your team has no zone/weather/terrain, then pick up that parameter for free 150 pts

[silver dirge]

1/5 marnie?

[latent token]

Yes

[silver dirge]

recording

okay it's doable but a little tricky. this one's mb I was confusing koga with a different stage. You can drop some of the extra strength by picking up no weather/terrain, no stat reduction since we don't do any of that either

to make it easier, change out lana for one of your ex supports

and sync with an ex supp first

[analog timber]

Anything specifically on 2/5 Serena’s grid I should be looking for to make Bluecanine, NC Blue, Serena work against Molayne? I can see the concept but essentially comes down to guessing when they come out of sleep

[zenith flame]

Probably the best answer I could've gotten. Thanks!

[swift swan]

I don't think 2/5 grid gives her mich

[latent token]

Is her 3/5 good?

Just got her

[swift swan]

Yes, good nuke

[latent token]

Ill try ss blue then

[analog timber]

Think good nightmare x2 may be the key, which unlocks at 3/5

[latent token]

She good enough to best red?

[silver dirge]

do it against molaine or grimsley instead, it'll be easier. Koga's on the bulkier side

[swift swan]

With the right setup. You need to time sleep properly though because her sync relies on it

[latent token]

Who outta my supports should i ex?

I really only have ex ss blue rn

[silver dirge]

Wb the free ones? Hop, Sycamore?

[latent token]

Havent gotten their orbs

Are they event limited?

[silver dirge]

Hmmm

I wouldn't recommend EX-ing a support just for this, unless it's a support you really like and/or use all the time

[silver dirge]

Sync orbs or champion spirits?

[latent token]

Champion spirits

[rotund lagoon]

The Legendary Adventures pairs’ spirits are event only.

[silver dirge]

I think they are yeah

[latent token]

Oops

[rotund lagoon]

You cannot EX them until their VA event reruns

[latent token]

Ehm

Then im stuck

Its been a good run guys

[silver dirge]

depending on the comp, EX supp buff is sometimes pre important for an offtype play. esp at 1/5.

[silver dirge]

hey you can still do the poison stall

[analog timber]

Should I be syncing with Serena in this setup? Was assuming that NC Blue would be syncer

[latent token]

I dont know if i mentally can champion theough the rng rn

[swift swan]

NC Blue if he's EXd

[analog timber]

Not EXed. But have been considering that given his value

[swift swan]

If he isn't then just sync with your damage dealer. I'd sync with Bluecanine though, since you basically get his copies for free

[zealous karma]

I would try without ex to see if its possivle but in that case you should be syncing with serena

[swift swan]

2/5 serena i'm not sure how well her nuke is

Richu you're the serena expert

[zealous karma]

I have used her at 1/5 during the 2K days and it was a bit of work because I had to almost perfect sleep chaining but she does have one sync multiplier at 1/5 thats close to her grif

oh thats not to bad

thats against strength 9 first sync

[versed meteor]

I need a whole cs week that i just play with permanent field condition

[long thicket]

I went for 10k on the special, that's the first time I bother with elite for one of these.

[analog timber]

Maybe my issue then is params because I’m using off type post sync, which is strength 11, plus getting one-shot by any attacks. Is there a better choice?

Was using off type with mc red as primary hitter

[north crown]

which red? he's already a main character in all of his alts

[analog timber]

Sorry champion

[zealous karma]

Strength 11 is a lot of strength for a lot of players

[north crown]

yes. ncred should be able to presync easily even offtype

[versed meteor]

This particular glacia is just an ass, lessen poison 9 and almost heals completely when hail is up

[north crown]

yeah fire weak glacia is not good for poison stall

I'd rather go for post sync that stall on fire weak Glacia

[weak sleet]

Are any of the special champion opponents easy to off type? I was thinking koga would be as he is old, but who else would be?

[grand steppe]

How easy it is to off-type depends on the team.

[weak sleet]

Well by off type I mean frogs, rats, Adaman, champion Marnie as examples.

[grand steppe]

You can off-type with pairs like blue (Pidgeot) and Fantina. As long as you set them up accordingly.

[weak sleet]

Awesome

I assume glacia and molayne are the hardest ones?

[grand steppe]

Glacia is weather based if you just use a water team as an off-type I don’t see how she’s any harder.

Koga is probably still the more difficult one. Since the shield is placed before sync.

[fluid vessel]

Lance, do you have something you want to tell me?

[grand steppe]

Houndoom ready to pounce.

[fluid vessel]

Ok since apparently lance wants to suffer let's try it

Oops Lance has Regen

[north crown]

just outlast his regen

perhaps you can take all defensive nodes and act as if it's a posion stall

[fluid vessel]

That is exactly what you do but having to outlast like 16 extra turns is not fun in the endgame

[safe monolith]

Any recommendations for the VS Red fight?

• parameters

[fluid vessel]

Plan C

[nocturne pawn]

hm what language is bea judith

[hushed sorrel]

Ash should be easy mode

[safe monolith]

It's not

[hushed sorrel]

It's prob your params

[safe monolith]

Maybe

[fluid vessel]

spanish

[hushed sorrel]

Off type pre sync

[tired sleet]

You want to set sun asap to stop red’s hail

[hushed sorrel]

Ss elesa fish for leg up and get 2 syncs guaranteed before enemy 1st Sync

[tired sleet]

Do you have tech ninetales?

[nocturne pawn]

you need to remove hail or else he’s gonna freeze lock you

[safe monolith]

Yeah I do that every round

[safe monolith]

nope

[fluid vessel]

the real question is how ash is not easy mode for red

[tired sleet]

You could try Maxie with Anni N or Silver

[nocturne pawn]

kid named hostile environment 9

[fluid vessel]

Antifreeze: Am I a joke to you?

[nocturne pawn]

yes because why would i sacrifice damage

and sun stops freeze anyway

[fluid vessel]

because if there is something Ash does not lack is damage

[nocturne pawn]

clearly the joke missed

[hushed sorrel]

Mint. I'm pretty sure you can do the exact same thing on Red with this line up. Don't even worry about hail just flinch 😂 https://youtu.be/jLJYuJTJUbw?si=orBpFsdaCx-KicqD

[safe monolith]

I'll try, thanks

this is

not working well

i wish stall worked on this stage

[weak sleet]

So like frogs and suicune can easily deal with glacia, whereas koga probably wants on type.

[junior crown]

Stall works in any stage

[grand steppe]

Cyrus… could deal with it. You don’t need master fairs.

[junior crown]

I stalled every round of the CS, so you can too

[weak sleet]

Oh that easy? I didn't realize

[fluid vessel]

Plan D worked

[hushed sorrel]

What’s not working lol. Just need to avoid blizzard and get your bbolt off after sync

[safe monolith]

for the Pasio CS?

[weak sleet]

How do you want to get around koga crit shield?

[junior crown]

yes

#1097597679015567420 message

[safe monolith]

huh, i'm using the stall parameters in pinned + Sycamore, Olena, Blair

[junior crown]

Do you have another tanker?

One that buffs both defenses?

Like SwinMisty/BP Morty

or Aura Cynthia would be the best if you have her

since he have that Brave Bird you want someone that buff sp def and def

[safe monolith]

I have BP morty !

[junior crown]

great just change sycamore for him

is he 3/5?

[safe monolith]

I believe so

[junior crown]

Since you have BP Morty and Oleana you can change your 3rd pair too

Like Mesprit/Melony/C.Calem/Lyra/Anabel/Anni Kris

[safe monolith]

i'll give that a go

NC.Calem > Morty BP > Olena

[junior crown]

Mesprit for reflect/screen/master pair/regeneration, Melony reflect/screen/safeguard, C.Calem for self healing/evas/rain/master pair, Lyra for sun/self healing/screen, Anabel for reflect/screen/safeguard and SS Kris rain/mini potion/master pair

[safe monolith]

i'll use calem's rain and eva

[junior crown]

so let him be the main tank

and use synchro healing on bp morty

[safe monolith]

oh wait i can't change weather lol

[junior crown]

why not?

[safe monolith]

stall parameters

[junior crown]

just adjust it

or can run with the weather

I didn't change the weather, but changing should make it easier

[safe monolith]

wait

flinching doesn't inflict poison damage?

because they're not making a move

[tired sleet]

Yeah, they can’t take poison damage if a pokemon doesn’t use a move

[junior crown]

no

but you can flinch to make the sides dies faster

or to build more moves for synchro healing for more sustain

[tired sleet]

Is that a good thing though? Sides being alive at the end seems ideal for stall, since they can’t get more sync buffs

[junior crown]

usually if the sides are left they have higher BP attacks

like Weavile will use Giga Impact

and Glaceon will use Blizzard

[fluid vessel]

sidemons are most of the time the most annoying part of stalling

while for hyper offensive it is the least annoying part

[junior crown]

as well as since I like using synchro healing, flinch makes it more easy to sustain at the end as well

[tired sleet]

That’s fair

[safe monolith]

ohhh

so do i just stop flinching once the sides are gone?

[nocturne pawn]

yeah

[junior crown]

if you want to build more moves for synchro healing you can keep if you need that sustain

if you don't need you can stop

[safe monolith]

i have a good feeling about this run

[junior crown]

if it's not good, I think Lyra or any other screen user would be one of the best as the 3rd

Screen/Reflect for the permanent parameters are really good

[modest gull]

Hey guys! Preparing for Kalos cs, and I gotta ask: should I ontype Rock Malva even if I only have physical rock? I'll send all my sync pairs if in case you need it to answer

[nocturne pawn]

sentry entry x2 is still brute forceable

just account for the fact that you’re essentially off typing

[modest gull]

Ah, I guess that makes sense. Looks like I can on-type this week, too. Thanks!

[analog timber]

Alright - diving back in to try this. I’ve tried a bunch of attempts and it doesn’t seem Bluecanine, NC Blue and Serena is enough to beat Molayne. Even with ideal sleep, NC Blue only takes down about 30-40% of health on Metagross when using off-type pre-sync parameters

Any suggestions / other ideas?

I’ve used Lucy, Janine, SS Misty, Champion Leaf, Blaine, Hop, SS Erika, Silver and Marley on first three battles

[mellow linden]

Who’re you planning to use for the Red fight?

[analog timber]

I need to figure out the sun setter but have SS Red, Adaman and Champion Blue to work around

[undone ether]

I need a team for Drasna fight later today 😦

anything i can slot in NC Red team?

or is it made for Ghetsis?

[mellow linden]

Can do Gordie as a Sun setter as well

[mellow linden]

If no Irida then can try Lucian + tank teammates

[undone ether]

I have Irida

3/5 actually

[nocturne pawn]

cant wait for ghost wikstrom next week

[mellow linden]

Then she should be an obvious pick unless you still need type medal

[grand trout]

Is kiawe hampered by his MGA on entry?

[analog timber]

Interesting, so Gordie, Champion Blue and SS Red, think that does it

[undone ether]

Hmmm

its the poison spam that's gonna be rough.

[mellow linden]

Should work for the Red fight, yeah. Means you can do Blue/Arcanine + Adaman + an appropriate Support if you wanna on-type or Adaman + Brendan + an appropriate Support if you wanna off-type against Molayne

[undone ether]

hmm okay she only poisons twice.

so i can stop her with B Ice Beam

Just need a tank i guess.

[analog timber]

Adaman , Brendan, SS Blue with off type parameters?

[mellow linden]

That can probably work, give it a shot

[analog timber]

Will do. Thanks

[grand trout]

I find that when i use kiawe I can't quadqueue

[undone ether]

okay i think this should do it o-o;

[mellow linden]

Tbh I doubt you’ll even get to the point where Drasna poisons anyone other than the tank

It’s Irida + NC Red, you’ll probably KO either by or just after your 1st Sync

[undone ether]

She has Go Viral 9 o-o

[nocturne pawn]

not that big of a deal

[mellow linden]

Only affects Toxic. I had the same misconception way back when

[nocturne pawn]

and thats +1 before sync anyway

[undone ether]

Hum

[nocturne pawn]

cuz yeah its only affecting status moves

[mellow linden]

But then I got into the fight and realized that Poison Tail still only affects the target

[undone ether]

i'll probably sync with Irida though. NC Red is uh... not EX.

[mellow linden]

Won’t matter much who Syncs, I’d imagine

NC Red + Irida is a stage-shredder

[undone ether]

wokay~

[grand trout]

Omg i was today years old when i realized there are 2 special cs this week

Oh lmao is psychic

Tate sweep

[undone ether]

wait we're getting Neo Champion Hop soon?

[grand trout]

I mean month*

[undone ether]

oh

i thought this week rofl.

[grand trout]

~~for real tho, kahili is weak to flinch, can tate beat her ~~

[analog timber]

This doesn’t seem like it’s gonna work - not enough fire power to get there pre-sync, and sandstorm wearing down post

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using and who're you Syncing with?

[analog timber]

In most recent attempt I realized I can remove healing for terrain for base off type post sync. I was typing to sync with SS blue to slow down attack, but seems getting right to Brendan on offense is more effective

[mellow linden]

Turn off “Can’t Change Zone, Weather, or Terrain”, “Special Damage Reduction 8”, and “Max HP ^ 8”

The 1st 2 completely remove Adaman and Brendan’s ability to actually do significant damage and the last one adds way too much bulk

[analog timber]

I’m confused. Adaman and Brendan are both physical attackers, why would special damage reduction impact? And should I be using someone with sun with them instead of a regular support for weather to matter?

[mellow linden]

Brendan is special, Leaf Storm is special

[hushed sorrel]

Just do pre sync param adaman doesn't need to do post sync

[mellow linden]

Adaman sets Sun on Entry and every time he Syncs and his kit hugely revolves around Sun

[analog timber]

I… did not know this

[mellow linden]

Make sure to read your Sync Pairs’ kits if you don’t fully understand what they do

[analog timber]

Yeah thought I knew it but see it now

[mellow linden]

Minor clarification, Brendan’s Sync is physical (but he won’t use his Sync when paired with Adaman), but Leaf Storm is special

[analog timber]

Should I be syncing with Adaman then?

[hushed sorrel]

Level?

[mellow linden]

If there’s no other Sun setter on the team then yes

[hushed sorrel]

I guess you are right it's irrelevant if no other sun setter

[analog timber]

139 Adaman 138 Brendan 141 ss blue

[hushed sorrel]

Move level 🥹

What boss are you doing

Stage boss whatever

Haha

[mellow linden]

They’re facing Molayne in Special Stadium

[hushed sorrel]

I see

[echo rover]

Could anyone recommend some teams for me?

[mellow linden]

Regular CS or Pasio Special Stadium and Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[echo rover]

Oh I’m sorry! It’s the Red one. The new limited one.

[analog timber]

1/5 for Adaman and ss blue, 3/5 Brendan

Blue is ex

[mellow linden]

Can do teams built around SS Hilda, Leon, Silver, SS Red, and Blue + Arcanine/regular Hilda/Serena/Lodge Irida (or whoever else) if you wanna on-type everything

[grand trout]

Are the guides for kalos cs out yet

[mellow linden]

Wdym

[echo rover]

I’m just looking for the easiest way to do it - I’m really terrible at the game so the easiest way is best I guess.

[grand trout]

The pin which tells tips

There's usually one each week

[mellow linden]

Those won’t be up until after Kalos CS actually goes up for its next run, so at least a few hours

[grand trout]

I see

I'll check tools then

[mellow linden]

If you use those damage-dealers I mentioned (or just broken off-type options if you wanna do that), make sure to save your strongest 2 (+ 2 Sun setters) for the Glacia and Red fights, use proper parameters, and follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines you’ll probably be fine

It’s never too late to start getting a better grasp on teambuilding and proper triple queue

[echo rover]

Thank you so much 💕🙇🏻‍♀️

[hushed sorrel]

Did you do it?

[wide adder]

For this weeks cs,
Should I on type with irida, or red? For the ice stage

Was so focused on gauntlet that I forgot that it was Sunday

[analog timber]

No. Still struggling some - was trying to tweak parameters. If im using leaf blade on Brendan then I can’t have special damage reduction 8 on - can have both status conditions and interference but not sure where I can put the other 50

[tired sleet]

Are you planning on offtyping with the other one

[wide adder]

Yeah

Not in mood to use Erika this week and there’s a poison stage so gonna be two off types this week

Prob throwing blue into my bug team to help alder cause that’d be my “weakest” team prob

[analog timber]

Even without putting the 50 somewhere I still don’t seem to be getting past 50% before the sync hits.

[wide adder]

oh cool i can actually use them together next week for haha big numbers go brrr

cause ive got favs in all 5 types

[hushed sorrel]

https://youtu.be/YLZTAFlOmCk?si=sbpM0fI52mUoslpr

[analog timber]

Thanks let me try running with this.

I don’t get it - I’m doing about 50% less damage with Adaman, are you using a 1/5 grid? And what’s lucky skill?

[old orchid]

Do you use the exact params as them?

[analog timber]

Let me triple check

Yeah it’s the same parameters. For example my first B Razor Leaf does about 830 vs his 1268

The only differences I see is mine is LV 139, 5/20 and he’s 150 EX - but that seems like a huge difference for that so wanted to see if something else drives

[keen jasper]

I think it's the gear that's making all the difference

[analog timber]

Should I be using something other than grass 3* L15 for attack and sp attack?

[keen jasper]

Do you actually have 3* level 15 grass gear?

[keen jasper]

Hmmmmm ok

[analog timber]

Actually I think I see something. Why does defense -2 right off the start?

[keen jasper]

I'm guessing it's also the difference in move levels

[keen jasper]

Enfeeble

Preemptive -2 defense to all enemies, I think that's what also contributed to the damage difference

[analog timber]

Who has that?

[cinder summit]

Enfeeble 2

Lowers the Defense of all opposing sync pairs by 2 stat ranks when the user enters a battle.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Nemona & Pawmot
Adaman & Leafeon
Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[analog timber]

Is it something he only gets on EX?

[keen jasper]

It's on his grid

2/5 IIRC

Ah no, 3/5

[analog timber]

Ahhh okay. Makes sense - I literally have the entire 1/5 grid activated

I think I would definitely get closer at 150 EX, but I don’t think it gets there at 1/5 move level

[grand steppe]

[white gale]

this coming week's rock-weak has Sentry Entry x 2? what special rock damage dealer even exists??? (besides CBlue)

[old orchid]

Lodge Steven

[white gale]

don't have Steven, have no clue what unit that is LOL

[tired sleet]

Nuke with roxanne

#bot-zone message

[white gale]

oh boy... hope I can power through with Ingo/SS Diantha/Emmet

[old orchid]

They should clear very easy. Malva has very low hp compared to today standard

Only 17k HP

[wide adder]

wait, its kalos next? damnit! i cant do master mode this week then

[swift swan]

Whoooo kalos baby

[zealous karma]

I am going to not use SSdiantha against Malca

I am going to hate thislel

[wide adder]

for neo CS, should i bother with BlueK9 or just offtype 3/5 stages?

cause idk how much im gonna use outside of silver and anni n here

[undone ether]

Hum, Summer Liza wants 3/5 for actual nuking right? D:

[silver dirge]

Well if you can offtype then go for it

[zealous karma]

She will be fine with zone lel

[undone ether]

Wokay~ 😄

i actually wanted to 3/5 her

considering that the NC Kantobirbs are fine at 1/5

so it gives me reason to pop a candy on her

[main lake]

for the special stadium is it per week? as in do i have to finish it before reset to get the rewards before they refresh

or is it just the one

[old orchid]

There is no reset

[devout sluice]

Unlike regular CS, special CS lasts longer.

[swift swan]

Updated

Half sync countdown in Kalos how are we feeling boys

[cold kestrel]

Was just about to best my first champion stadium and then it changed when reset happened, unlucky

[devout sluice]

Probably not a good idea to use it on ice weak.

For half sync countdown round that is

Because if you do you’ll get go viral poison very early on because of half sync move countdown.

[verbal karma]

oh no...it's the return of the half sync countdown param... 😦

who's the least dangerous for R3?

talking about Kalos CS, btw

[devout sluice]

Most dangerous I experienced was the ice one. I haven’t check the other three tho

But I know sun is summoned on rock weak

So guessing between fire or electric

[fluid vessel]

Adaman 📈

[manic kiln]

Half sync is easy anyway

[swift swan]

i'd say they're pretty equal

it would depend on your teams

[verbal karma]

ah, damn...my teams kinda depend on the Round order, tho

because I'd need to replace the support of whatever R2 team I would have normally planned with someone who has Adrenaline

hmm...definitely Drasna for R1, though, that much I was able to figure out

[manic kiln]

You don’t have to take advantage of the round parameter all the time, your team is way more important

[north crown]

Tho it is both satisfying and technically optimal to do so, I find myself veering away from tunnel visioning on params more than actually using them due to the consistent performance of my good teams

[verbal karma]

I mean, in the case of something like "Dmg Reduction Fields", I do need someone with Adrenaline

[north crown]

or turn denying strat

[verbal karma]

since the Dmg Reduction Field params always prevent me from quadqueing

[verbal karma]

those never work for me

at least not consistently enough

and I already have to do enough resetting as is

[undone ether]

Heh. Won with this. All post sync @_@

i did have to restart with Malva and Diantha though.

err Drasna rather

i changed Marley to NC Calem mmhmm

and Anni Skyla for Lodge Serena

[north crown]

do you have any ex strikers?

[verbal karma]

yeah, but I still always sync with EX supports first

ya know, so the EX strikers can then hit even more harder

[north crown]

what if I told you that you can deny sides with a good enough striker ex

[undone ether]

NC Leaf just doesnt do damage at 1/5 😭

[north crown]

sync nuke:

[undone ether]

SS May's better for Sync Nukes orz

i tried

[north crown]

wtf? isn't power play a really good multipler alr?

[verbal karma]

inb4 I do my first sync with an EX strike and the side actually survives the sync nuke

[undone ether]

that's +3 from SS Morty and SS May

and this is SS May's damage after Moltres

at the very least though

she was doing 16k crit with her B Move

she does as much damage as SS May so that's nice

but the sync nuke though... leaves to be desire ;_;

[versed meteor]

? Sentry entry on rock weak,isnt the strongest special rock move ancient power?

[undone ether]

Oh

they have Sentry Entry? rofl i didnt see that

no wonder i was doing pretty bad damage. but ah wells won by the Rock DF + SC Hilda says hi.

[manic kiln]

This should’ve been a preysync clear, did you pick hp parameters or something

[undone ether]

Yep.

DEF Up + HP Up

and maybe a few levels

[manic kiln]

why, ssmorty is already a tanky team

[undone ether]

kukuku

[verbal karma]

hmm...okay, R1 Drasna and R2 Wikstrom means that I will have to decide between Malva and Siebold for R3

which of those two is the less dangerous one for R3?

[manic kiln]

Just do ash team half sync round, it’s braindead, support sync then bmove, deletes the stage even with half sync

[versed meteor]

What are you doing for malva then?

Cuz its offtype and i want to use Ash there

[sly imp]

Lodge Steven can brush off malva

his nuke is decent

[versed meteor]

No lodge steven

[manic kiln]

You don’t have Olivia? She can always clear 2.5k without any trouble

And yes even with sentry entry

[fluid vessel]

Still trying to figure how to solo glacia with Ash

probably requires to not take reduced gauge parameter just to nuke harder

[formal musk]

does wikstorm has some weird ass passive that makes my first sync not crit like wtf i retried like at least 6 times and im not critting with +3 crit

or um is my luck that bad

[main crow]

Malva sentry entry is a joke tbf

[verbal karma]

...oh yeah, I do have Ash, but no Lodge Steven as well

then again, I don't wanna off-type Malva anyway, so...uh...wait...WAIT

I can pair Olivia up with Bertha!

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, how many points should I go for this week? 19k or 20k?

[sharp jasper]

Furry Fired Chicken dying slowly and painfully because the opponent have no good flying sync pair , more at 10

[manic kiln]

No good flying pairs people underestimate gen pool and free units, blue after grid expand is great, lodge serena and darach also good for this

[rotund lagoon]

Might wanna reevaluate your roster. Lost just named some options above.

[gritty nymph]

Wrong chat

[manic kiln]

Not everything needs to be busted like ash and red. Poison stall is fine but learn to utilize your roster to get better

[trail smelt]

Surprisingly, all but 1 of my new toys worked… it was Nemona who I didn’t click with. I paired her with Volkner and Sonia, but I believe I’m using her wrong. I can kill the Middle easy but I can’t handle the sides. Oh well hopefully she gets a chance to redeem herself in High Score.

Ready for next week.

If I managed to pull RoSCa early I’ll switch out… uhh

Hmm

SC Acerola…? Or maybe SConia. Yeah probably SConia is out

[sharp jasper]

I will...though I don't like normal blue tbh

I will try lodge serena.

It is not the fact that normal blue is normal gen , it is "I don't understand how to combo his move"

[rotund lagoon]

If you do not understand how to use him, read his kit.

And if he is a higher move level, grid him.

[sharp jasper]

I did read it and try different combination like using trainer move after mega , or mixed between before and after. But his damage is not that good somehow

[rotund lagoon]

What move level is he?

[sharp jasper]

5/5 yes

[rotund lagoon]

Grid him.

[sharp jasper]

Already tho

[rotund lagoon]

Did you use a recommended build in #1009587872342478908 ?

Is his appropriate stats maxed?

[sharp jasper]

Stats maxed , though I haven't look at the new sync grids on recommendations

I will copy it and give it a try.

[rotund lagoon]

Then do that.

[sharp jasper]

Actually I didnt bother to EX him also 🤡 , maybe that is also a problem

[verbal karma]

...I immensely regret picking Siebold for R3

[rotund lagoon]

He doesn’t need it.

[sly imp]

imo his Brutal clarity multiplier is what makes him strong

[sharp jasper]

Alright cool then

[verbal karma]

Ash's sync nuke is absolutely unable to kill ANY of the sides

[sly imp]

so you need to stack accuracy buffs

[sharp jasper]

Thought I need to EX him

[trail smelt]

I picked Malva for Round 3 haha

[verbal karma]

oh no

[trail smelt]

1/5 SC Diantha appreciates the SPID

[verbal karma]

my planned Malva team makes R3 Malva basically impossible

[sly imp]

use his other tm before syncing

the one with super effective next

[trail smelt]

Oh shame

[sly imp]

mine just nuked the whole stage

[trail smelt]

I used double Diancie so I had good eating

[sly imp]

oh wait it's malva

[verbal karma]

...use his other TM before his first sync or his second sync?

[sly imp]

nvmd

[verbal karma]

because second sync won't matter anyway

[sly imp]

i used ash on type my bad

and used lodge steven for malva

[verbal karma]

I am using Ash on-type as well, actually

[keen jasper]

Welp, I'm gonna 4k Siebold to make everyone see he has musophobia

[sly imp]

did you set up some electric terrain?

[verbal karma]

yes

[keen jasper]

Ash should still destroy Siebold without ET

He just needs someone to status him

[verbal karma]

he can't, though

oh

he never got the paralysis

...damn, now all my other resets are either not letting Ash do paralysis or are already failing at the MPR of EleSSa's TM

okay, finally did it!

[manic kiln]

Anyway you need to stop using sselesa everytime, she didn’t do anything for that team, bmove kills mid before sync anyway. The sides are not a threat at all

[verbal karma]

she actually did

her sync accel literally made it possible

[manic kiln]

You never need ash to sync or anything, his bmove will wipe mid after ex support sync

[verbal karma]

oh, nah, I needed EleSSa's EX support sync first

then Ash's B Move for Siebold
