Champion Stadium

[unreal radish]

Steel Weak Diantha have less defense or special defense?

[left storm]

Same

[junior crown]

she has less special def (the base are the same, but she has stoic and sentry entry)

[unreal radish]

So she focus in buffing her team defense

[left storm]

But they buff Def yea

[unreal radish]

I have have Raihan so I'm fine

I think

[left storm]

But it doesn't matter much if you're using good Phys steels

Like Gloria and palmarnie

[unreal radish]

True

[left storm]

Or alola grims

Ofc it hinders the latter"s multipliers

But you can just use another screecher

[unreal radish]

I have palmarnie but she was going to support Raihan damage more in that case

I want to test him too

[grand trout]

Does colress have a good nuke

Wait nvm forgot i had rose

[old orchid]

he has good nuke yes

and easy to setup

you can use both together

[grand trout]

Hmm sounds like a plan

• hop support

[old orchid]

sadly that team will suffer on gauge

[grand trout]

wait i can feel the gauge being slow lmao

[old orchid]

use a better gauge support

[grand trout]

Yeah lol i just realized

[old orchid]

like Sonia~~ clearly no bias ~~

[grand trout]

Well I don't like how she fucks with quadqueue ngl

[old orchid]

just do turn denial on the left side

[formal vigil]

With rose and colress not like you need it

[grand trout]

But if rose can nuke diantha before that with gmax that won't be a problem

Yeah

How about i ditch colress and use sonia instead because of dc

At least hop can soak attacks without quad denial

[mellow linden]

This is Rose on what, Steel weak Diantha?

Skyla’s a great pick for gauge Support, Hop and Sonia are both kinda letting a lot of their buffs go to waste when paired with Rose

[grand trout]

Well Sonia's more for the debuffs and gauge

[mellow linden]

Well Skyla + Colress handles the same thing without buffs going to waste, was my point

[keen jasper]

Has anyone ever attempted 25k pts. or 5k pts. each stage?

[calm marsh]

If i ever try that, all stage will have Sleep or SS Lyra

And it will take forever to finish 1 battle

[calm marsh]

When does poma have black-white mode ?

[frosty axle]

called sepia mode though

[devout sluice]

Add that as a feature. Even tho I know that’s a visual bug

Sync move filter

[sharp jasper]

Got banished into the past

[left storm]

100% either SS Lyra, perfect staggering RNG lycanroc, perfect hleon freeze RNG or sleep yea

[keen jasper]

Or just pure brute force

[glacial star]

im trying to off type drasna with genesect alakazam and zamazenta but her poison is becoming a problem

can anyone help?

water electric ice fire flying rock pieces have been used already

[swift swan]

Find a way to heal her poison, or win the stage before she gets to use it

This is hard mode so I'm sure genesect won't have any trouble

[glacial star]

idk how to deal with her poison or how to heal smh

[junior crown]

3 different ways: A pair with antitoxin/status immunity to tank (example: BP Clemont), a pair that can heal the status (example: Sycamore/SwinMisty), or interfere the Toxic move (like with flinch/freeze/sleep/etc)

Since she can also poison you with poison tail, if you don't need the steel type I thinking changing Hop for BP Clemont works well if you have him

There is a 4th way with evasion, but I wouldn't rely much on it, so the others are more "safe"

[left storm]

Genesect isn't really offtype tbh

[left storm]

Tbh if you're getting to poison she should be 2 hits from death at most

[glacial star]

yes but somehow survives with 1 health

[glacial star]

who should i offtype with then

these are my pairs

water electric ice fire flying rock pieces have been used already

[left storm]

No no

I meant genesect has ice damage

So he's technically ontype

Lol

[left storm]

Well she has endure, you should kill her with sync to ignore it

[glacial star]

ik but i dont get 2nd sync till then

ig i will have to save 1 sync

[glacial star]

which one is bp clemont

[cinder summit]

Clemont & Magneton

Acquisition:

Battle Points

Alternates:

Clemont & Heliolisk

[glacial star]

but that would repeat a tile wont it

[left storm]

?

[old orchid]

i think they meant type

that doesnt matter much if you remember to fill all types next week

[mellow linden]

Yeah, you have to do the 18 types across 2 weeks since you can only fit a maximum of 15 types into a given week, so 9-12 types on week 1 is absolutely fine

[main lake]

did i miss a week of kalos? how are people doing master mode showcases this week already?

[mellow linden]

This is the 2nd run of Kalos CS, a lot of people unlocked Master Mode the 1st time it came around

[main lake]

ohh so it stays unlocked if you did it before, I've not experienced a rerun CS yet

thanks

[dusty yarrow]

Week 2 of Kalos CS will start next reset

[sacred mountain]

Should i try to 15 type so i can have MM next CS

[old orchid]

just try to fill many types possible, not necessarily 15 types

[mellow linden]

9-12 types is fine for week 1

It just depends on how you wanna spread out your difficulty

Since the more types you need to fill the harder it may get to put teams together

[latent token]

Grimsley (offtype 2.5k) wont go down with this team

Should i try a team with serena?

[keen jasper]

I'm not sure who to use as my damage dealer for Diantha, my EX Solgaleo or my 3/5 K. Grimsley for my 4k pts. clear

[silver dirge]

I think if you can time the Metal Burst right and get lucky with some flinches, Grimsley might be easier

[keen jasper]

Hmmmm, I'm going to probably use Solgaleo to take advantage of Impervious for the -3 to 5 stats parameter

[dark osprey]

Serena does actually great damage. Need to bring in another sleeper and hopefully an EX support

[keen jasper]

Unfortunately, my Colress is 1/5 so I can't get Go Viral to immediately paralyze all my enemies

[dark osprey]

Even without the sun from Lyra this should be doable

[latent token]

What grid?

[latent token]

Max sync damage?

[dark osprey]

Oh. I think it's just some dps damage grid that I run

Let me check the spark grids

Guess it's the pseudo striker grid

[latent token]

My lyra is only 2/5 and not gridded/exed

I dont have any other ex supports en sadly

Other than nc blie

Blue

[dark osprey]

Oh then it may be slightly weird. Need a crit buffing ex support

Or at least a crit buffing support and can try syncing with Serena

[latent token]

Maybe ill go over to the dark side

[unreal radish]

What Serena?

Champion Serena?

Ah normal serena

Do you need a crit buffer that also buffs sp.atk?

[left storm]

Grims seems better if you're planning presync

[keen jasper]

I mean, Diantha has less than 87k HP even with the 4k parameters I put in

I did wish I had higher move level on Gloria

[latent token]

I guess brenda

Nc blue

But i kinda want to save nc blue

I have three viable offtype dmg left and three rounds left

Grimsley morlayne and red

My dmg dealers left is sst red nc red and nc marnie

[unreal radish]

I see

[rancid dagger]

Is there any easy way of clearing this? I'm confused on what to do about it besides using the other types of Pokemon and can't find any videos or any other sources of information whether to clear it completely or just fight one of the elite four then reset. I have already completed the stadium if that helps.

[mellow linden]

You need to do it across 2 weeks of a given region

[silver dirge]

You need to complete a certain region's stadium medal, which means you need to complete the stadium's stages (E4 + champion), using all 18 types. Obviously, there's 5 stages, 3 pairs each so you can get a maximum of 15 in one week, and when it resets the next week you can use the 3 remaining types that you haven't used yet. Doesn't have to be 15:3, could be 8:7 or however else you'd like

[mellow linden]

Once a type is added to the type medal by using a Sync Pair whose starting Sync Move type corresponds to the type in question, you’ll forever have it on the type medal for that region

You can get a maximum of 15 types on the medal in 1 week, but 9-12 on your 1st week doing type medal is fine

You have to beat the Champion for the types to be added though

[rancid dagger]

Ah I see. Guess I'll wait for the next one. Thanks for the help guys.

[silver dirge]

Do be sure to get around 7-8 types done before tomorrow's reset though, otherwise you'll have to wait another week

[rancid dagger]

I'll be sure to do that, thanks 🙏

[tired sleet]

Someone who can set replace hail (usually by setting sun) early

[left storm]

Should work fine

As long as you save the super command for the sync

[tired sleet]

Do you have ex/boosted silver?

Super Command is a tile that boosts the next super effective attack, and it can be used to make Silver one shot (or close to one shot) the entire Fire Weak CS stage

Yup, with his powerboost
Here’s an example clear #1011434808662040668 message

Here’s the one shot grid

[mellow linden]

What grid and team did you use?

[wild scaffold]

Special stadium is challenging

Johtrio cant event beat Grimsley

[tired sleet]

What params are you using? And are you sure the sync crit?

[wild scaffold]

How can I beat Red?

[old orchid]

Bring a sun setter and a spdef buffer

[hushed sorrel]

prob just param difference 😂

Maybe you can try this one https://youtube.com/shorts/IET5IcRlA1A?si=c6JvFnq53cCvs3NR

Hang on let me grab it

To be honest it's just similar to the presync more damage param in the pinned notes

I changed a couple of them to get a bigger sync number though lol

So I lower strength and take off most dmg reduction and replace them with me taking more damage

If I do glacia it's a few reset until she skips all aoe before my first sync.

Same for red I just keep reseting until they skip aoe haha

Got it right?

O glacia?

Haha well if you want guarantee you can take off 3x damage to tech and striker

And just sun from the get go

You can survive a blizz or icy wind

It's easier with ss red charizard though if you are wanting to do glacia since blast burn does like 10k. Where as sacred fire is like... Weak.

Hmm is your silver boosted?

[wild scaffold]

Who is the best debuffer?

[hushed sorrel]

What for lol

[wild scaffold]

For all stats

Or at least covers 3 stats

[hushed sorrel]

Oleana

[wild scaffold]

NC Leaf?

[hushed sorrel]

Nc leaf

Ss leaf

[wild scaffold]

Ohh okay. Yeah SS Leaf

Thx

Trying to beat Red

[keen jasper]

Champion Serena can potentially debuff 5 different stats at once

[wild scaffold]

Going for all HP parameters

[old orchid]

SS Leaf only reliablelydebuffs 2 stats at base

[wild scaffold]

Damn Red hit hard even without Atk buff parameters

[keen jasper]

I immediately saw the +1 Def./Sp. Def. and it's bad

Yes you should, and also do Strength 6

Definitely the Def./Sp. Def. 1 and -2 sync CD

It increases their stats in general by 60 levels

[hushed sorrel]

Can you get mpr refresh on Lyra?

So you can max the damage?

O I see well done!

You don’t have lucky skill

It’s 20% if you have CS2

Useless hahah overheat sucks imo

[wild scaffold]

I finally beat Red

This Team gave me an insight

So ty

[hushed sorrel]

Soliddd

[keen jasper]

I never use Overheat because I always use his sync

[hushed sorrel]

Gj ladies / gents

Sync cd -2 is all good for on type imo as long as you optimize for the sync nuke

[grand trout]

How many sync move countdowns are necessary to skip over a whole opponent's turn?

[old orchid]

-3

[grand trout]

Ohhh

[hushed sorrel]

Technically only 1

Do you mean like getting 2 sync before their first?

[grand trout]

Well that's what quadqueue is for right

Well I'm asking for the sync countdown skips that won't necessitate a quadqueue

[hushed sorrel]

O just 1 then

Adrenaline 1

After 1st sync.

[nocturne pawn]

i think hes asking for first sync

so yeah you need a total of -3

[hushed sorrel]

O

[grizzled ridge]

Can I do this event as a beginner

[tired sleet]

Hard (non master) mode is pretty accessible to most players, yes

[north crown]

So I've become more like Cherzi: I haven't done CS yet 🗿

[sacred mountain]

Ok did 11/18 types

Leaving Poison , normal , bug , Ground , dragon , psychic

And fighting

[blazing narwhal]

1 hr to do cs but I really don’t feel like making teams

[swift swan]

optimize

[blazing narwhal]

Unless I can send my units and someone make them for me…?

[hushed sorrel]

When I feel that way. I just pull out all the Uber tiers, they pretty much clear with any support lolol

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/fax-fact-facts-ayo-he-spittin-fax-man-stop-spitting-fax-gif-21658109

[hushed sorrel]

Actually first line of S tier will do the job as well. Ie not much thinking required

[keen jasper]

Now do above 2.5k

[hushed sorrel]

I have not found myself at that motivation level yet 😂

[blazing narwhal]

Ig I’ll do it now

[swift swan]

you have 10 minutes 🕰️

[keen jasper]

1 more minute

[sacred mountain]

Joever

[keen jasper]

Damnit, no perma field effects

[swift swan]

updated

[blazing narwhal]

7.5k good enough for me

Sst red couldn’t kill malva

[verbal karma]

I need help decidin

I could only decide on R4 Malva

But dunno which opponents to pick for the first 3

Nevermind, I pick Siebold for R2 as well

Dunno who to pick for R3, tho

[swift swan]

Wikstrom should be your safest bet since he doesn't use special moves at all

[grand trout]

Lol I'm so excited i beat wikstrom that i forgot to sync

[verbal karma]

Oh yeah, that's a good point, thanks

Completely forgot about it

[vast dome]

How can I incorporate fighting, poison and dark types into this week?

[sly imp]

there's dark-weak this week

for fighting maylene help in buffing physical

for poison you canprobably use venom drench with janine or something

[grand trout]

@grave wyvern i guess it's not so bad

[vast dome]

I meant bug

[swift swan]

Bug? dark-weak Malva has acute senses so you can probably use Viola to trap and also debuff special attack

[formal vigil]

You could also use gradual heal param

To counter acute senses

[swift swan]

it sounds like they're still doing hard mode

[verbal karma]

Hmm...I might be using the wrong team against R3 Wikstrom

[vast dome]

Planning to use Sidney

[swift swan]

hmm then you shouldn't have trouble with it. what other bug types do you have?

[swift swan]

you have ssr cynthia, so just use her alongside anni lillie and find a good gauge support

[vast dome]

Confusion baby

[vast dome]

I don't have much

[verbal karma]

Wait, who does SSR Cynthia replace?

[formal vigil]

Rosa

And maybe replace ss blue with skyla if guage is issue

Though ss blue should work fine

[keen jasper]

Man, Malva got her grown ass wrecked by a couple of teens in 4k pts.

[swift swan]

oh, bugsy scyther for leer spam then

so sidney can do even more damage

[verbal karma]

Gang Gang

[keen jasper]

Ok, I think I'm not gonna do 20k pts. this week because my ghost roster sucks fucking ass

[silver dirge]

Why no field effects

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-been-asking-myself-same-question-gif-3535156

[silver dirge]

Interested in your 4k params what do you use? I do a 17.5k run with max hp and offense cos I don't like giving them strength

[keen jasper]

It comes with all Strength modifiers

But I'm not gonna 4k Wikstrom because I fucking don't have SS Korrina

[silver dirge]

[keen jasper]

I was able to 4k everyone except him

[silver dirge]

I really wanted perma field effects for a 3.5k poison stall with good units

[keen jasper]

I wanted perma field effects for my 4k pts. Wikstrom clear

[silver dirge]

What's your strongest ghost dmg dealer?

[keen jasper]

Fantina

[silver dirge]

Oop

[keen jasper]

My only limited ghost damage dealer is Anni Lillie

[silver dirge]

Same

Oh wait

Cynthia lol

[keen jasper]

Victrier should've worked against Wikstrom not only because of his field, but also because of Haze

[silver dirge]

Ahh true

[keen jasper]

Why did DeNA sabotaged us this week?

[silver dirge]

Just give us one round of perma field effects every week

[bitter sierra]

Is anyone able to help me with making a team? I tried the fire team with Ho-Oh and it... didn't work out so well

[swift swan]

this is for hard mode, I suppose?

[bitter sierra]

Yup

The other teams work well (Kyogre one may need to be replaced as its a bit too RNG dependant)

[keen jasper]

Rock-weak Malva again next week? No problem for my SS Diantha (if we get stat debuffs have more effect)

[swift swan]

so what didn't work well with the fire team? who did you fight? what happened?

[bitter sierra]

Not enough damage and Sustain, I found that I was able to hit the side enemies with Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire for around 1k maybe 2k damage but the enemies would begin setting up, getting defense buffs, and once the enemy Sync was used my team was as good as dead since Ho-Oh and Ponyta would be sent to around 15% and 25% health respectively

[swift swan]

what's your ho-oh grid

also who did you fight?

[bitter sierra]

This for now

And I faught Wikstrom

[grand trout]

@mellow linden i used colress instead of skyla for HA and so they share a theme with each other

[swift swan]

hmm. does your silver have a lucky skill?

[bitter sierra]

Yes

[swift swan]

i was hoping you could give him Dauntless so you can run sacred fire instead

or critical strike 2 for a nuke-oriented silver

[grand trout]

Sacred fire is physical no?

[swift swan]

ah my bad. overheat i meant

[bitter sierra]

I mean I could try but Idk which cookie actually gives dauntless

[keen jasper]

You mean Weathered Warrior 3

[keen jasper]

3-star Creamy Cookies

[swift swan]

the blue one

[bitter sierra]

Just tried and got nothing

[grand trout]

Ww3 is rare tho

[swift swan]

i don't expect him to have it

[grand trout]

Try again

[bitter sierra]

Perhaps the 2 star one would work

[bitter sierra]

I used all 8

[grand trout]

Until you get what you u need

Oh

Have you done bv today?

The coop

[bitter sierra]

Not yet

[grand trout]

You get cookies for that, make sure you do that religiously as a beginner

[vast dome]

I'll be back later this week to complain about Master Mode

[grand trout]

Anyways

Try the bronze ones

Maybe you'll get cs1 or cs2 if you're lucky

[bitter sierra]

I'll try again after I beat the BV co-op thing and I'll report what I get

[grim bison]

I hate grass weak Siebold

[grand trout]

@nocturne geyser hi

[keen jasper]

Well, sure

[nocturne geyser]

Hello

[grand trout]

Can you post your roster here again

[grand trout]

Oh

Can you use the thingy

I forgot what it is lol

[plush tangle]

+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

[plush tangle]

that ?

[grand trout]

Yup

It seems it's that tho lol

Anyway wait

This is just hard, right?

[nocturne geyser]

Day 5 progress so I won't have access to the grids

Yes

These are the raised pairs atm

[bitter sierra]

I have returned

And I got nothing good

[grand trout]

Wait are you trying for 15/18

[nocturne geyser]

Not really

I just wanted to know if i can clear it

Will probably do that once i understand the game and pairs a bit more

[grand trout]

Siebold-shauna, ss erika, blaine
Wikstrom- ncblue, allister, victor
Malva- Aaron, Sidney, viola
Drasna - sycamore, mewtwo, Psyduck

Diantha - sonia, krimsley, colress

Not in that order tho lol

[nocturne geyser]

Does that involve grids?

Or are those teams fine without

[grand trout]

I don't think so

[nocturne geyser]

I see

[grand trout]

Well I'm not sure how they'll fare lol

But malva hates being trapped so viola is thete

[nocturne geyser]

What about the levels, does it matter if im like 5 levels diff

[grand trout]

And shauna and blaine will certainly help erika spam blade

Honestly, im not sure but people have been known to clear with lv 125

[nocturne geyser]

I see thanks a lot

[grand trout]

You just have to master how to quadqueue

Sorry I can't help much i never touched hard since forever lol

But best of luck

[nocturne geyser]

No worries, i appreciate it

[grand trout]

Report results pls

[grizzled ridge]

quadqueue?

[grand trout]

Uhhh

What's the command

+quadqueue

[frozen depot]

Watch this footage (17s clip) : https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx3Nr07pJo2Noud7AwWW4yWQQIDbYsQTJQ
In this clip, when Flannery is about to Sync the opponent Aaron has nothing queue'd in the list. This leaves us with a very short window after the sync to queue a fourth move. Note in the clip how Flannery queues her TM before the opponent's High Horsepower. Look out for the orange "spiral aura" around your syncing Pokemon after the sync, the correct timing to queue is when that spiral is fading away, but you can also resort to button mashing!

The benefits of quad-queue is that it allows us to get two sync moves before the opponent's first one which is a game-changer if you're not using sync acceleration. A Sync Move does not count toward the Sync Countdown which is why without Quad-Queue or Sync Accel your second cycle usually leaves you at 1 countdown left when the opponent is using their Sync.

Note that Quad-Queue cannot be done under certain conditions that will make the opponent queue as your sync is executing :

• If a field effect (such as weather, zone, move gauge acceleration etc) expires on the turn you're syncing. Usually happens if a field effect was cast on entry or first turn.
• If an allied passive triggers an effect right after an enemy action completes (such as First Aid, Team Shout, Freevenge etc...)

[grand trout]

There you go

[swift swan]

whoops, was late lol

[grand trout]

Nov was the teams above okay

[swift swan]

sorry i can't help for a bit, i'm still struggling with a damn theme clear

[swift swan]

this?

[grand trout]

Yup

Just hard, no grids

[swift swan]

hmm, looks alright

the "no grid" part may be risky since kalos is very demanding

[grand trout]

The acc is 5 days old

[swift swan]

none of them have grids or?

[grand trout]

None iirc

[swift swan]

well, worse case scenario there's nc red to offtype a stage

[grizzled ridge]

oh that I have done it accidentally sometimes but it is still random

[keen jasper]

It's not random, it's all about the timing

[versed meteor]

Where gauge

Also Siebold exists just to be annoying

[swift swan]

boosted solgaleo has access to free moves, gloria has good gauge and move gauge boost, hop has freevenge. the gauge in that team is better than it looks like

[versed meteor]

Think am just gonna poison stall em

[swift swan]

also siebold can you stop spamming muddy water PLEASE

[versed meteor]

More units need grid acuity

[hushed sorrel]

Any ideas on how I make this better lol https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bF483DxAyrKiH0ZRozANuFtca6QXsAjpTU1ok6mlbks/copy

[plush tangle]

you need to share it publicly

wait no

remove the "copy" part of the link

[hushed sorrel]

but but I dont want you to smash my original copy

hahaha

[plush tangle]

why can we edit it then

remove edit perms

[onyx ice]

I just used SS misty

Probably one of the few stages where mist is actually useful

[undone ether]

God i hate Siebold.

how should i order the rest of the fights?

[swift swan]

R3 wikstrom is your best bet since he's the only one who doesn't use special attacks

R2 prevents quadqueue so make sure you have a way to deal with that

[undone ether]

hmm got it

[swift swan]

the other two are interchangeable

[undone ether]

guess R2 is Malva then

[onyx ice]

I did siebold round 2

[undone ether]

dang

oh this is fine i guess

NC Marnie would've died to SP.ATK buffs 😦

[hushed sorrel]

lols wth Wilkstrom died to Victor's max move

1 shot

[zealous karma]

Wow siebold is much harder than I remember

[lunar meadow]

Why did ghost weak wikstrom put up a fight...

Does he have wise entry x2?

[hushed sorrel]

Yea lol and I was like 'OK this is going to be easy I'll use SS Erika' cbb used adaman instead...

[hushed sorrel]

Se2 and we2

[lunar meadow]

What?

[hushed sorrel]

Wise entry and sentry entry

[lunar meadow]

Oh, got it

The ones that actually increase stats, not the buff ones right?

[hushed sorrel]

Hmm what's the diff don't all of them increase stats haha

[steel kelp]

X2 doubles that stat

The other just raises it a stage

[lunar meadow]

If you have max crit, one of them is pointless

[steel kelp]

So instead of for example 500 def it’d be 1000

[onyx ice]

Regular wise sentry just give stats buffs like x defense or x sp def X2 is basically the unit having twice the defense

[onyx ice]

Not pointless if you are planning to use stuffs like leer

[lunar meadow]

Lol, all str parameters and this team still won before they used a sync move.

Pre-my own sync 😅

[hushed sorrel]

How do you tell the difference?

[lunar meadow]

When the fight starts, do they gain +2 defense or +2 special defense?

[hushed sorrel]

Bro Rose is like cheating 😂

Especially with increased physical dmg

[lunar meadow]

Ground and steel types "ok, we'll let you do damage, but you can't have move gauge"

Copperajah "so attack once and then max move. The end"

[hushed sorrel]

True story..

[willow quiver]

If your talking bout passive name, one that doubles is wise entry x2, one that can be bypassed is wise entry 2 (without the x)

[trail smelt]

Easy week, and RoSCa is amazing in her debut in my supportless monotype grass team haha

[nocturne geyser]

@grand trout i followed and improved the team you shared to me, thank you.

[grand trout]

Yay I'm happy to hear that

Oh yeah you have ncleaf lol

A better choice than blaine

[nocturne geyser]

Yeah, i was wondering why you didn’t mention her. Must have missed her on the image haha

Anyway, thank you.

[grand trout]

Np

[calm marsh]

Forgot to turn off crit-shield and he still oneshot Diantha

[silver dirge]

Impressive

Oops ping mb

[calm marsh]

Nah i dont mind ping that much

Bc i always turn off notification

[left storm]

Been a while since I used scrosa, never fails me

[steel kelp]

Sc rosa was fun to use

Glad I got her relatively early

[left storm]

She's really solid

Strong af nuke that needs no babysitting, good DPS that ramps fast because of -3 spdef per hit

[steel kelp]

Waiting for a second tech candy to get her to 3/5

[nocturne pawn]

ok note to self dont do siebold on r3 cuz holy fucking shit 1k on ss erika and brendan with no x3 param

[swift swan]

even without R3 parameter, brendan gets OHKO'd by muddy water (at least for me with full offensive presync params)

just pray he doesn't use muddy water, ever

[nocturne pawn]

healthy advantage? i barely knew her

no but like actually she was losing like 1/3 off of every steel beam it wasnt even funny

[zealous karma]

I’m not very smart I am forcing myself to use diantha against a Stage that debuffs Spd

[nocturne pawn]

but why

no one is fairy weak and only drasna has slo-mo this week

[zealous karma]

It started with me not wanting to use grass types against siebold

[nocturne pawn]

i dont think he has slo-mo tho?

he only has furious brain and oar1 muddy water spam

which is tbh pretty cancer in of itself

[steel kelp]

Just run acuity

[nocturne pawn]

me when brendan is forced into dauntless unless you sync with him every time

[fluid vessel]

HIM

[nocturne pawn]

?

[fluid vessel]

[left storm]

.....

Is that

...

A 9/11 joke

[nocturne pawn]

what

no

[left storm]

Ok thank god

[nocturne pawn]

how did you even get 9/11 from that

[left storm]

Someone used latwins + duraludon for that joke

[nocturne pawn]

…

[left storm]

Since then when I see 2 flying birds + duraludon it's a real cursed moment

[rose ermine]

Do you guys think that's acceptable damage from calem

[nocturne pawn]

flygon is an antlion but i see your point

[keen jasper]

LMFAO, I jsut realized I used Victor as my main damage dealer on Wikstrom ungridded

[nocturne pawn]

still i wasnt making that connection on purpose its just my go to team for raihan

[nocturne pawn]

5head nightcaster

[swift swan]

i'll let richu decide

[keen jasper]

I managed to barely pre sync Wikstrom if it weren't for me queueing his max move after sync

[swift swan]

my 1/5 non EX Calem and I have no idea what Calem's damage is supposed to look like

[rose ermine]

My calem is 5/5 EX Lv150

[swift swan]

@zealous karma look you got a friend

[swift swan]

what's your verdict richu

[keen jasper]

What round is this BTW?

[sonic blaze]

i wasn't even aware that calem did damage so yes lol ;p

[rose ermine]

4

Wanted to do 3 but 4 was more convenient

[keen jasper]

Well, I did Drasna on R3 when I was attempting my EX-20k pts. clear

[rose ermine]

How the hell are you doing 4k per round

[keen jasper]

Well, I was until Siebold made me realize my hubris

[calm marsh]

Siebold: Muddy Water go brrr

[keen jasper]

Not Siebold, Wikstrom

[rose ermine]

I had a fun time with 2.5k wikstrom

Dropped a 112k nuke on his ass

[keen jasper]

I'll still never forget me doing 2.5k pts. with Victrier ungridded

[left storm]

Yeah I'm sorry it's just

I really wanna presync wikstrom on 3k 2v3 but I have no idea how

[sick inlet]

Does wikstorm have any defenses x2? Mf ain't dying to my duos 🗿

[swift swan]

in his shield form, yes

[keen jasper]

He has doubled defense in Shield Forme, he must be in Attack Forme to deal more damage

[rose ermine]

I finally realised how powerful ssrc is again

[silver dirge]

Is that both defences? SpDef and Def?

[sick inlet]

Mf ain't taking dmg in both forms 😂

[keen jasper]

Yes

[silver dirge]

got it ty

[sick inlet]

Imma go offtype

[mellow linden]

Sounds like a parameter issue

Make sure you didn’t turn on the wrong Damage Reduction 8

[left storm]

High base hp is definitely annoying when most ghost units have Shadow ball as main dps

Like, renegade not being able to run a Phys/special mitigation so needing a +100 STR/hp param adds quite the bulk

[rose ermine]

I'm going to try Morty against wikstrom

Almost

[sick inlet]

Nah, it's because I am running duos and all my limited ghost units are 1/5
So will try to take advantage of something else

[swift swan]

What duo are you running?

[left storm]

Well all I had to do was give up on turn denial ig

Gourgeist killed mid with 550 hp hex

Lol

[silver dirge]

man do I despise stages who debuff speed

leave me and my guages alone

[left storm]

I solved that easily

[keen jasper]

[left storm]

If it's Drasna you're struggling with

[silver dirge]

oh na i'm not struggling, I just don't like it

[left storm]

Just boot up your Caitlin

Free gauge forever

[silver dirge]

I'm tryna do a 4k run and I need to account for speed buffs

[silver dirge]

caitlin my favourite dps and nuke unit

[nocturne pawn]

tbh caitlin vs drasna seems pretty free

[left storm]

GL, 3.5k and over is too much I'd rather 2v3 3k

[nocturne pawn]

she doesnt care about slo mo cuz of super freebie and her nuke is also good

[silver dirge]

thank u

[nocturne pawn]

467 spatk goes hard

[left storm]

Yeah exactly

[silver dirge]

tru

[left storm]

Ezpz 3k

My may is 1/5

[silver dirge]

👌

[left storm]

I just preferred her to Bianca for once

Even tho HS1 Bianca would've probably let me win presync

[silver dirge]

I really wanted Anni May from that select scout but unfortunately flying zone was more important

[left storm]

Understandable

[silver dirge]

My hopes and prayers that she'd show up in the x15 were not answered

[left storm]

I got her 1/400 on her launch

[keen jasper]

If anyone did a 4k clear on Wikstrom, tell me who you used

[left storm]

[left storm]

I could try one rn

[silver dirge]

i got close with NY Dawn & Cynthia but his defense thing is really annoying

[keen jasper]

I mean, one of the recommended units is SS Korrina

[silver dirge]

😔

[left storm]

I guess you don't want any form of cheese right @keen jasper

Sleep/flinch

[keen jasper]

That's only for poison stall

I'm ok with status cheese except for poison because it actually requires some skill

[left storm]

Okay then lemme see what I can cook

[proud garnet]

Shauntal supremacy

[proud garnet]

WHAT

[left storm]

Caitlin is good af

Btw yeah I had to tone down to 3.6k to win with ice team

I could win with sleep chain ig

[calm marsh]

Just can 3k5 point

Dont want to reset for potion

[silver dirge]

Golbat looks like Dhelmise here Tripped me up for a sec

[calm marsh]

He is actually really good with NY Dawn at 1/5

[silver dirge]

I haven't actually seen his kit yet

I love NY Dawn, her move animation is incredibly satisfying

[calm marsh]

Not Sync Move

[silver dirge]

I prefer my DPS over sync nukes anyway so

[left storm]

I almost won 3.7k Vs wikstrom offtype

Sslyra + godcerola + SC rosa

First two 1/5

I choked on gauge at the end

[calm marsh]

I can try SS Lyra for flinch

[left storm]

Lost with wikstrom with less than 20k hp left

Literally 2 seed flares

Feels bad

[calm marsh]

My SS Lyra and SS Acerola is 3/5

Infinity Grass terrain

[left storm]

Then it's free

[calm marsh]

[left storm]

Infinite gterrain

[calm marsh]

That why i dont want use that team

[left storm]

No need to fumble rotation

With lyra

Eh whatever

I did 3k presync 2v3

It's enough

[calm marsh]

No input perfect with sleep

No need 60% flinch perfect

Just 100% flinch by Passive

[left storm]

It's the reason I don't feel like candying either

[nocturne pawn]

do you think this team can work vs diantha

[left storm]

Both are so broken

3/5 is just dumb

[calm marsh]

SS Lyra just get nuke

[left storm]

Doubt, eternatus struggles

[calm marsh]

SS Acerola is

[silver dirge]

Why not Dialga instead of SS Leon?

[calm marsh]

Broken at 3/5

[silver dirge]

It will work though

[left storm]

And more debuffs

[nocturne pawn]

oh wait this is the wrong image regardless

[silver dirge]

[silver dirge]

wow Raihan flex

[left storm]

Sure it can work

[silver dirge]

I'm not familiar with Lodge Raihan so not sure

[left storm]

Sand on entry, ez

[nocturne pawn]

he sucks

[silver dirge]

[left storm]

Nah cmon

It's just meh

Niche af

[nocturne pawn]

no crit buffs

[left storm]

I wouldn't say it sucks

[silver dirge]

lemi go have a quick peek at his kit

[left storm]

Lodge calem sucks, lodge marnie sucks

Lodge rahian is mediocre

[silver dirge]

He's okay-adjacent

Atmospheric Acceleration is funny

[calm marsh]

Lodge Leaf for Metronome team

[left storm]

It's basically made to be ran with either rahians

[silver dirge]

I like Lodge Marnie smh but mainly because I'm planning on pairing her with NC Blue

[calm marsh]

I want to do Metronome team

[left storm]

Lodge leaf can get some funny tanking moments with mpr moonlight

Also satisfying snicker isn't bad

[calm marsh]

When Egg Burgh Rerun, i pulled him so much that i have this

[junior crown]

Mine is 5/5 because of that too, burghpi was evading me as much as possible...

I think some people experienced it with SS Brendan and Anni May too

[silver dirge]

This is why I really dislike double feature banners

[calm marsh]

Bro

[silver dirge]

If I have one of the units

[silver dirge]

same

[left storm]

Ah yes

I thankfully got all of them at the end, but 1/5

[calm marsh]

This

7/5 SC Lillie

[left storm]

Bruh

[keen jasper]

Augh snore

[silver dirge]

😳

[silver dirge]

this is crazy

[left storm]

What kind of banner was that even

[calm marsh]

SC Sonia-Ingo-Emmet-Lillie

[silver dirge]

[calm marsh]

And i got SC Lillie from 3/5 to 7/5

At least i had SC Emmet from Pity

[left storm]

I genuinely forgot that banner happened lol

[zealous karma]

These sides got hands wth

[calm marsh]

I always remember it

Because of 7/5 SC Lillie

[swift swan]

Ayo? Winston got 8/5 SC lillie too

[calm marsh]

[versed meteor]

All mid units btw

[zealous karma]

Imagine caring about how good something is in this game

[silver dirge]

[nocturne pawn]

raihan is still top 2 steel dps so idk what you mean by that

[sharp geyser]

Hi guys, I'm coming back to PoMa after a long time and could use some help coming up with some current CS teams please. ^^

[versed meteor]

After chalking a year worth of candies at him

[nocturne pawn]

no one got close to him except rose and 3/5 was top for most of the game’s life

[versed meteor]

Yeh but still needs a ton of investment for that at 2/5 Raihan still isn't as good as solgaleo

[nocturne pawn]

huh

he absolutely is better in all except nuke

solgaleo is extremely mid without his pb

[versed meteor]

Nope solgaleo was better than raihan even without pb

[nocturne pawn]

x to doubt

[sand karma]

Try to send it sorted by role

[placid ravine]

Welcome to CS Siebold: God pls stop spamming Muddy Water Edition

[onyx ice]

The strong one has X2 or X3, the weak one doesn't have any X, so "wise entry" is the weak one while "wise entry X2" is the strong one

[placid ravine]

This is quite fun

[nocturne pawn]

why sycamore

[mellow linden]

I’m sure plenty of people have done so

[junior crown]

Yes, stalled everyone

for grimsley I burn stalled, but poison stall works too: #1097597679015567420 message

[zealous karma]

If it’s a team focused on rosa Eirika shoukdnt be there either

[peak stirrup]

Who is ideal partners for SSR Cynthia vs r4 wilkstrom? I don’t have palentines dawn for sp def down

[mellow linden]

Do you have SS Korrina?

[peak stirrup]

No, nor Anni Lillie

[mellow linden]

Can just do Shauntal, Fantina, or Helena then

With an appropriate Support

Maybe not Shauntal since it’s a status amp round

[silk sundial]

My guys

[keen jasper]

I seriously hate that most ghost types are weak to dark

[nocturne pawn]

trolled

[teal pawn]

Man why is wikstrom so tanky, I almost beat him but I was too late in off type sync

Btw who's best to beat for r4 between wikstrom and drasna?

[steady valley]

only started poma last week, so im not familiar with the power level of CS, but would I be able to beat it? if so, with what teams?

[teal pawn]

( I am kinda screwed against drasna cause I already used my only good cleanser early )

[nocturne pawn]

drasna is easier on r3

[nocturne pawn]

you dont need status cleanse just kill her lol

pretty sure caitlin also has antitoxin on grid if thats worrying you

[formal vigil]

irrc antitoxin on her base passive

[nocturne pawn]

oh

yeah its to mimic magic guard

[teal pawn]

Yeah I am just worried cause drasna has toxic after sync which is kinda annoying

I was thinking any of these to off sync against drasna, will they do?

I have nc leaf EX 1/5 but she's at lv 135 atm so dunno if she ll help here

[long thicket]

Okay, so Rose is a bit like Victor where his Dynamax is basically a free EX Strike sync...

He was a great help against Diantha.

[nocturne pawn]

do you have caitlin 3/5

[teal pawn]

Yeah I have her 3/5

[nocturne pawn]

use her

[teal pawn]

Alright will try

[nocturne pawn]

and grid like this

[sharp geyser]

Bumping this!

[zealous karma]

If I didn’t see the name at the top of the grid and the psychic tiles I would’ve thought this was blue

[thin marten]

now why does my 3/5 ex renegade cynthia tickle wikstrom

[formal vigil]

do you have physical damge reduction 8 turned on?

[thin marten]

no

i put stats +3 bc i have mixed dmg

[nocturne pawn]

eh dont do that

that basically gives him a maxed out rising tide from the start and you really do not want that

[thin marten]

well i put sp dmg reduction and had my morty almost die (saved by ss blue s endure) and then delete all on sync

[left storm]

You need to hard focus mid with her to mitigate +2 entries asap, then either pile up with either a Def debuffer or a heavy spdef debuffer to kill with either sync + SEUP force or shadowball spam and supp ex

[thin marten]

regiheal is surprisingly okay for steel weak stages wow

[placid ravine]

I love this game so much

[paper summit]

well, that team is a bit questionable in the first place, so yeah, maybe start there

[fluid vessel]

I am 100% sure

Sycamore solos that stage

Is grass Weak like

Should be free

[junior crown]

You can use pairs that raise acc like Lillie or BP Clemont or that drop evas (I don't remember any good pair that drop evas consistently...)

Rosa already does -4 so the anyone with defog can do the last -2, no reason evas is an issue with her (shouldn't need someone to drop the last 2 evas)

Or you can run Sycamore DPS with impervious and not face any issue

[fluid vessel]

[sharp geyser]

Like these?

[austere quest]

I tried to Ontype for Ghost with SSKorrina-Ghorst-Red but it didn’t go well because Red died so early

I wonder if that team is bad or if the stage was just hard

I managed it with my Electric Team

[hushed sorrel]

I just did it round 3 for extra damage for victor lol wilkstrom hits so dam hard

[manic kiln]

with haze you shut down most of his multipliers, having Victor is a free clear

[austere quest]

I will try it again then, I first sync with Victor or do I do something?

Okay I managed it, still annoying that Red dies so soon

I hope Victor gets the Support Roll Cake

[placid ravine]

Main problem is that a single Muddy Water completely destroys everyone

Maybe I’m stacking too many attack parameters

[wild scaffold]

I dont get how CS are all tanky

Even without HP parameters

[wicked otter]

Damn this CS seems rather hard, i cant off type woth Zerena or Cerena easily

[sonic blaze]

Strength raises all stats since it raises lv equivalent, and u can't meet the 2.5k parameters with only atk and sp atk up.

[wild scaffold]

Ahh that explains it

[sonic blaze]

each 1 strength stack is the equivalent of 10 more lvls 😛

[wild scaffold]

Oh wow

[wicked otter]

Wikstorm hit so hard with his aegislash damn

[wild scaffold]

Weird I only had strength 10

And they were very tanky

[sonic blaze]

Strength 10 is equivalent of 100 more lvls so yeah, i have the same.

[wild scaffold]

What

[sonic blaze]

it's 10 lvls per each 1

[wild scaffold]

So 20 is 200????

[sonic blaze]

click the right + at the right of strength

[wild scaffold]

What if you stack both strength?

300 levels?

Insane

[sonic blaze]

stacks as far as i'm concerned, i have str 6, str 3 and str 1 ;v

so also have str 10

not sure what the exact number of stats rosen is but according to ingame text is equivalent to 100 lvls xD

[wild scaffold]

I thought it was just 10 levels

[wicked otter]

Lol no wonder my CS lately seems too hard, i pick all str and power on hit while clearig post sync lmao

[wild scaffold]

Saaame

[sonic blaze]

it's 10 levels per 1... if you check str 6 it says 60 lvls so stacking does beef em up

still much more doable than raising hp though, at least if you got hard hitters it's fine

[wild scaffold]

Yeaah I have some hard hitters

[wicked otter]

Aegislash legit 1 hitkill my support lol

[wild scaffold]

But weird thing is that even with HP parameters they still hit hard

[wild scaffold]

Damn

[wicked otter]

Though i still cleared it, i guess i should pay more attention to not pick power on hit

[wild scaffold]

Power on hit buff same attack move

[old orchid]

Power on hit are usually free parameters if you aim to pre sync

[rain turret]

tried to do master
only got to 3500

diantha is the easiest

just throw copperajah,zamazenta and pawmot on her and its over

drasna is the worst

[wicked otter]

Wikstorm is the worst for me, but yeah drasna is annoying with her speed reduction

Seems using gradual healing favoured tech pair, zerena cant outdamage the heal

[sonic blaze]

well, just did my csmm and wilkstrom was def very beefy lol, had the most issue with him on r1 xd, was tanking ssr cynthia's nuke... was tanking everything lol, had to use shadow force twice + victor's max nuke after sup sync to kill him

[hushed sorrel]

R3 much easier lol

[sonic blaze]

hmm now that i think so, victor's max move would've prolly destroyed him in r3 :V should've swapped with psych you're right xd

[hushed sorrel]

I just did a f2p run for lols https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1134233447167164517

[trail smelt]

… I completely forgot to use Victor’s Max Moves lol

[hushed sorrel]

You are just doing too much dmg then huh

[wild scaffold]

I finally beat it

I went monotype

[noble plaza]

Anyone I should save/avoid for certain rounds?

[mellow linden]

Maybe avoid Siebold and Drasna on round 3 since they both hit very hard with special moves, but that’s about it

[nocturne pawn]

definitely siebold

drasna is mixed but siebold will eviscerate you on r3

[paper summit]

Malva will also kick your ass on round 3

[mellow linden]

It partially depends on the teams as well. I used Caitlin + SS Lusamine to destroy Drasna on round 3, for example

[paper summit]

basically do Wikstrom 3rd and that's it

[noble plaza]

ooo im a bit nervous about how to unlock this CS hard mode. My remaining types are Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug, Ghost, and Dark

[mellow linden]

NC Red and Irida should each be their own stage clear on Hard Mode, so can do tank + filler on a team for each of them for 2 types minimum

[noble plaza]

off typing?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, it’s Hard Mode

[noble plaza]

fair enough lmao

So far I thought of:
Wikstrom: Victor + Spectrier, Shauntal, Lucian
Malva: BP Janine, Karen, Sidney
Drasna: Marley, Giovanni, and Lodge Dawn
Siebold: I only thought of Adaman so far

i mean i probably don't need Spectrier on the team since it's just hard mode

[mellow linden]

I’d rather a proper Support than Lucian even on Hard Mode, personally, but it’ll probably be alright

[noble plaza]

i mean i haven't tried any of these out yet so it's not too late to change them

[zealous karma]

J off typed everyone this week but I have very good pairs so maybe not a good example

[mellow linden]

Well it’s Hard Mode

[sonic blaze]

everytime i need to offtype i use the rats... or marnie cyrus combo and stuff just can't do shit xd

[mellow linden]

So it doesn’t matter a ton

[noble plaza]

I mean at the moment I'm just trying to unlock master mode

[noble plaza]

i just need to figure out how to finish my type medal

[dark osprey]

Is this week's Wikstrom the bulkiest ever CS stage? Not just the inflated HP but the defenses as well. Is there any 28K HP stage with higher defenses as well?

[tired sleet]

While in shield forme it has high defences but in sword form (which it would probably be in for most of the fight) the defences are normal

[dark osprey]

Oh lol yeah

Guess in one run he did a move gauge boost as the first move and then I was freezing him

[noble plaza]

nevermind, there was nothing to worry about!

I'll do MM later. It seems MM with the Kalos CS will be pretty hard 😅

[wicked otter]

Damn i can only beat wikstra because of NC red can perma frost aegislash

Glad i pick ss lyra for more options for perma stun

Btw what is the hardest CS? Last CS much easier than this one

[fluid vessel]

It was indeed free

[swift swan]

the deer strikes yet again

[tired sleet]

He’s a support tho, not a strike

[fluid vessel]

the deer supports itself again

[trail smelt]

I was saving it for after SSRynthia’s sync and then just… forgot lol

[rose ermine]

Man i wish I got the sycamore grid upgrade

[grizzled ridge]

I need to finish that mission of complete passio special battle for gems so is it possible with this roster

#1009557516369281075 message

[swift swan]

Silver can 2.5k a stage. Arcanine Blue can also clear a stage but he needs his grid

i'm afraid you'll have to offtype the rest

[onyx ice]

I used 6ex Kiawe and Fantina with 1/5 renegade Cynthia

[trail smelt]

Ready for next week, giving Nemona one more try

Also gotta remember to turn off no status conditions lol

[dark osprey]

Oh. What move level is your Nemona?

[lime raven]

Help guys siebold is the last e4 member on master mode i need to beat

apparently this team cant do the trick

[hushed sorrel]

What else do you have

[grand trout]

Do you have someone who can buff sp def faster

[hushed sorrel]

I'm guessing your defense buff comes too late with Sycamore only after sync

[grand trout]

Muddy water will be a pain

Yeah

[hushed sorrel]

I did it with Aaron Ss Erika Ss Leaf that worked well

[main crow]

Quick question there's no sentry entry x2 fighting stage as of now yeah?

[versed meteor]

Where field and sprint parameters?

[lime raven]

Oops

Sorry for coming back way later

let me redo my sync pair tracker list thing

Rq

[dark osprey]

Not yet

[silver dirge]

Brendan likes sun at 3/5+ for Charging Sun 5

But yeah supports like SS Brendan, SC Jasmine would work better here

[lime raven]

first things first

Uhhhh

I cant quite find the link

To the tracker thing

Is it supposed to take this long

Idk if theres a faster way

Here are my grass pair

[hushed sorrel]

Here watch this

Uploading

[silver dirge]

Brendan isn't the problem, replace sycamore with a faster spDef buffer. Otherwise on max offence a Muddy water will wipe you out

Bruh

[obtuse kindle]

How much is this sp def reduction?

[placid ravine]

Besides the Rock Team ( I’m not really sure what I’m going to do; might just off type it) are these good teams for next week of CS?

[silver dirge]

Olivia would like speed and/or sandstorm for nuke

[old orchid]

1.5x iirc, not too sure

[silver dirge]

Wait is this for hard or mastermode?

SST Red does not benefit much from NC Blue, why not use him to buff Valerie instead?

[placid ravine]

Master mode

[silver dirge]

Unless you're going for the overkill with rebuff

[old orchid]

your BP Valerie team is a bit questionable, if you want to use a flincher use Nanu who has both flinch and defense debuff

[placid ravine]

Ig that is true, since I’m sure the electric team would not struggle

[silver dirge]

Is your NC Blue 1/5?

[placid ravine]

2/5 (tho he will be 3/5 once I get 3,000 more gems to get to pity 😓)

[silver dirge]

Ah okay

Do you have 3/5 Bea?

Because she will work better on the fighting team

[placid ravine]

Probably, tho I like Wally a lot better cause best boi

[silver dirge]

Ideal actually

Ah fair enough

[placid ravine]

Ig I could switch blue to Valerie

I used that exact team on this weeks Diantha; absolute destroyed her

[silver dirge]

I'd make some edits to the Olivia team too

[placid ravine]

Yeah the Olivia team is kinda throw together since I don’t have a good rock nuker

I could just NC Blue off type it

[silver dirge]

There's Acerola from story who can set sandstorm

If you need

[silver dirge]

You could indeed

[placid ravine]

I meant to try and get SC Diantha but went all in for nc blue instead

Who should I use as a tank on the electric team

[silver dirge]

Sonia atm, but I feel like you can get more out of Sonia on another team

SST Red is strong enough tho where you can put any mildly viable support as the tank and be chill

[mellow linden]

Running both NC Blue and Sonia on a team with SST Red is kinda wasting those Supports, tbh

[willow quiver]

could run another dps ig?

[grand trout]

Are there good params for mixed sets

[swift swan]

mixed sets?

[grand trout]

Well i have 2 preset params

One geared for physical, one for special

But what if I'll use brendan whose dps is special but nuke is physical

[swift swan]

i replace one of the damage reductions with strength

[manic kiln]

just add more str

[swift swan]

I slap strength to fill missing points like that flex tape meme

[grand trout]

How noticeable is the damage if that's done?

[swift swan]

an additional Strength 1 shouldn't be noticeable

[lunar meadow]

I always do full +Str

[silver dirge]

Max HP gang

[keen jasper]

Me When I Do 4k pts.:

[silver dirge]

If I'm going for more than 2.5k then I pick all HP and depending on how tanky my support is/what defence buffs they have I pick up all the offence ones

[keen jasper]

Well, I'll change my parameters depending on my team

[main lake]

wait LOL i forgot that Brendan's nuke was physical
no wonder it took so long to clear with him

double ex support buff plus nc blue's sync move multiplier still let it do appreciable damage

now i want to do that run again without the physical damage reduction

[grand trout]

Shit

Now i cant edit params

I have to redo kalos cs

[steady valley]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009554906568462476/1150861133692018829/image.png would i be able to beat champion stadium w this roster?

[swift swan]

Is this for hard mode or master mode?

[steady valley]

master mode is once you clear a CS w all 18 types right? if so hard mode, since i havent done that yet

[sonic blaze]

hard mode definitely, master mode idk... there is some dudes here that do master mode with f2p so it is possible but hard...

[viral moat]

Yeah prolly

Just be smart about it

[steady valley]

ig ill start testing some teams w the better pairs i have then

[viral moat]

You'll probably struggle with MM tho depending on what params

[steady valley]

once i reach the champion the pairs i used in the elite four are still restricted right?

[sonic blaze]

if possible, to clear 18 types, i advice you use a broken unit as the source of damage, and try to fill the others with even 3-4 starts that are different types, so u can progress

[viral moat]

Yea

[sonic blaze]

examples... NC RED can be main DPS source for 1 stage.... same with NC Leaf... I think there was a pshycic stage this week so f2p giovanni can take of that by himself if you buff him up with s.atk and crit.. Victor should be able to take care of the ghost stage by himself as well in hard mode

so with those at the core try picking other types as crewmates to start filling the 18 types.

[steady valley]

thanks for the advice!

also just curious, how is it possible to fill out 18 types in one CS if theres only 15 possible pairs you can bring?

[sonic blaze]

2 weeks is the shortest amount of time u can do it

[steady valley]

OH ok that makes more sense

thx!

[swift swan]

Hard mode is definitely doable

[formal vigil]

Would ss mina fairy zone on entry cancel out fighting week wikstrom steel zone on entry?

[silver dirge]

Yeah I'm pretty sure

[sick inlet]

[keen jasper]

Yes, since enemy preemptive zone always applies first before your preemptive zone

Steel-weak Wikstrom is designed for Aura Cynthia so yeah

[full mesa]

SSACynthia/Bea/Cobalion. Most basic fighting team.

Rock is always an issue. Let's see next week's parameters before cooking up teams.

[icy iron]

Has anyone beaten CS with all points

[mellow linden]

Wdym

[sonic blaze]

if you mean every single parameter available that is prolly impossible lol , if you mean 12.5k between all stages, i do it every week ;v.

[left storm]

Max points x5 is not doable YET I think

You can do 2-3 stagrs if you have the most busted units probably

Actually nvm I'm thinking of old params

[versed meteor]

We would get a unit able to some day

[left storm]

Rn it's probably impossible to do max parameters

Because of all the neutering it does

Crit shield + no status + no interference= no cheese

[sonic blaze]

i don't think it'll ever be possible... all the tanky parameters, all the power enemy parameters... add no flinch and x3 damage taken to all units, also no CC to survive stall and it drives a very hard bargain even for our most broken units rn lol.

[left storm]

Yeah yeah

[sonic blaze]

it won't ever be possible, but also it won't ever be needed xd.

[left storm]

I forgot it used to be possible on old params

[icy iron]

I mean every single parameter, 12.5 k is standard, we all know it’s possible

[left storm]

We're talking 6+k

[sonic blaze]

forgot about the old ones, but ic 🤔

[left storm]

Yeah before sslyra could solo 4.3k points (the max back then)

[icy iron]

What’s the most parameters possible

Most points now

[left storm]

Like...6.3/.5k?

Something like that

[icy iron]

Which ones are not being taken

[left storm]

We're literally talking about max parameters

It means everything is taken
