Champion Stadium

[icy iron]

I’m asking which parameter is not being taken here

[left storm]

... it was an educated guess

On how much is max

If you were asking what's the highest anyone won with, idk

[icy iron]

I’m asking which points would you not take if you tried to do the max points possible

Which parameter is not being chosen

[left storm]

Ok now I understand

[icy iron]

🙏

[left storm]

Probably defences and interference and one of Phys/special 8

[icy iron]

So about 3?

[left storm]

You can theoretically stall with sslyra forever with interference on if you have enough gauge speed

[sonic blaze]

yeah or NC red u can perma freeze xd

[icy iron]

So just 1 then?

In theory

[left storm]

Not Vs 3 enemies tbh

Freeze procs before you can queue

Staggering procs after you can act

[sonic blaze]

hu ic

[left storm]

Means that as long as you know the rotation and they don't do TM/buffs you can infinitely flinch

[icy iron]

So I added them all up, it’s 5,800

Before it was 4,300

If we remove status or interference (flinch), the highest possible in theory is 5,750

[left storm]

Well you most likely will take half an hour to kill max STR max hp max defences

So good luck

I actually think it would take even more ybh

Tbh

Depending on what league is on

[sonic blaze]

sounds about right, a lyra only perk without missing a single read on who is gonna attack lol and when folks get out of flinch

[left storm]

Kalos has some very high and very low hp

[sonic blaze]

i'm curious how long that fight will take

xD

[left storm]

Well

[sonic blaze]

prolly like 2 hours offtype haha

[icy iron]

Thanks for the info and answers

[left storm]

Offtype? With standard damage reduction 8?

[icy iron]

[left storm]

Lol?

Ontype or death

170k hp with 240 defences

And Phys/special reduction 8

If it was a 28.9k hp stage it would be even worse

[icy iron]

Has anyone done it before

[sonic blaze]

prolly, just threw a number out there but it could be alot worse hahaha, funny thing would be breaking the chain flinch after a few hours and getting 1 shotted ;v

[trail smelt]

Just 1/5

[dark osprey]

Oh. I was curious just because I have her at 1/5 too

Just wanted to know how you're playing with the sprint thing and b move

First sync with EX support and then with Nemona right?

[trail smelt]

Mind you I failed the first time Siebold came around and it was after I just used Ash that I learned it was because Siebold had Healthy Advantage lol

For this run… not sure what I’m gonna do

Last try where I failed I synced with Nemona all the time, so might do it your way this time

[dense hamlet]

I’m struggling with MM Drasna, she’s my last one and it’s the status condition effect for the round parameters. I’ve tried so many teams with different parameters, but what pretty much always happens is I get mid to under half and then she syncs and kills everything. Pictures show the pairs I can still use.

[keen jasper]

I find it ironic that you made Drasna put on R4

[keen jasper]

Hard or master?

[dense hamlet]

Master

And it kinda happened on accident that Drasna was r4

[keen jasper]

Show your psychic types

[dark osprey]

Yeah. I guess the support EX thing helps in using the B move twice at least

[dense hamlet]

I also have ss Brendan

[zealous karma]

Gio ssbrendan bianca is a very strong team

[dense hamlet]

I’ve been trying that but I don’t kill mid in time for their sync and then sync one shots

[zealous karma]

Do you know what side denial is?

Sorry for the late response I was doing something

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using?

[nocturne pawn]

caitlin should easily ko mid with her grid

[mellow linden]

Even just Giovanni should do fine

Assuming Bianca’s on the team in either case

[silver dirge]

There's no way for Gio to max his sp Atk on this team, is there? Always wanted to use this to quickly set up Gio's multipliers but couldnt find a way for the last 2 spatk buffs

[old orchid]

+4 spatk is fine

Its 1.6x vs 1.8x with +6

[grizzled ridge]

So for hard mode cs with 18 types I need to beat it with 18 different type mons ?

[silver dirge]

Yes, over two weeks

[grizzled ridge]

Does the round order matter in anyway ?

[silver dirge]

Have a look at this ^

R3 is the one to look out for in particular because Siebold does a LOT of damage on Muddy Water

[sonic blaze]

do r3 winstrom so f2p victor can destroy him cause aegislash is tanky as hell

[wide adder]

someone remind me to save blue for steel diantha in the future ... even with using a proton+nc red / proton+anni n team sets i was struggling to offtype that

HA4 is... annoying. tried to use pal serena to turn it off and i couldnt presync with my red.

thank arceus we dont got another steel weak this month tho

[sand karma]

Just use Solgaleo

Piercing blows on ssstrike

[grizzled ridge]

Ahh thanks I will give it a shot

[grizzled ridge]

and what about pasio stadium one

[silver dirge]

Order doesn't really matter for those, just align your teams with the ones that might help them. If you're running poison stall, do R1. If you're doing a guage heavy team, do that R3

[grizzled ridge]

ahh okay what combo is good with zinnia thievul one .absol and ?

[silver dirge]

Depends on your roster/move levels. If Zinnia is 1/5 then you'll be using her as utility mostly, yes Sydney/Absol is a good partner to enable stronger nuke with rebuff. So is Masked Royale/Incineroar. You will need a physical support alongside these. If your Zinnia is 3/5 then you can build around her nuke

[grizzled ridge]

ohh yeah mine is just 1/5 but since I am also trying for 18 types, probably some other physical attacker will be better? I dont really have much apart from free options

[sand karma]

A tank to take the hits for the team

[grizzled ridge]

hmm so lets see malwa - Zinnia, some good tank (blastoise ??) , some random type (electric)raichu
Drasna - mewtwo, serperior (tank) another random type , ice glalie
Wikstrom - victor, aaron (tank),some random fighting lucario
SIebold - ss leaf/ sceptile , probopass/ steven (tank) , ss diantha ig maybe leaf will be ebtter
diantha - Duraldon , Xerneas(tank) , idk some fire type(hooh)

[silver dirge]

Your teams look pretty good overall, for Wikstrom consider a better support to buff Victor, Aaron buffs physical stats. And in the vs Diantha team, your Duraludon is missing a single crit buff

[manic mica]

Is Ghost Cynthia Anni Lillie and SS Blue just a bad team against Wilkstrom?

It's not killing at all

[grizzled ridge]

hmm can swap lucario and glalie ig and raichu and hooh for dura

[keen jasper]

Or maybe Wikstrom is just tanky in Shield Forme + your parameters

[manic mica]

I am using presync dmg

[keen jasper]

The exact pre-sync parameters in pinned?

[manic mica]

Yeah

And I switched Blue to Skyla

[hushed sorrel]

1st Sync for Lols 😂

[grizzled ridge]

woah dayum

[keen jasper]

Now do it with EX support sync

[hushed sorrel]

I don't got bulu

Otherwise I would haha

[keen jasper]

That's still fine either way

[hushed sorrel]

Yea I mean I can tank with ss Lyra but I don't have anyone that can give sun and seun

[keen jasper]

And also this

[hushed sorrel]

Buwhahaha is that 10 stack special and 2 sync buff?

[keen jasper]

5 SpMUN and 3 sync buffs

I mean, you can clearly see the SpMUN stacks on Ash

[hushed sorrel]

Ooo

Only 5 smun dannng

I'll try that next electric weak

[old orchid]

this question suits #poma-lounge more, this channel is for helping only

[grizzled ridge]

woah 999k damage wtf

[left storm]

I mean this is 1/5 SSN with 2 sync buffs, 999k is only 6 times this

Actually I should remake this with 2 ice rebuffs instead of 10 PMUN stacks to see if it's comparable

[silver dirge]

2 ice rebuffs = 50% damage boost. 10PMUN = 10 * 40% = 400% damage boost

[left storm]

I know ofc I would still give some pmun

Just not 10

[silver dirge]

You could also find a way to work in SE next in there

[halcyon sail]

Argenta with team SEUP will make that possible

If you want support

SC Steven does it as a tech

[left storm]

SSN already gives himself SEUP and 2 pmun

[silver dirge]

oh oop

[left storm]

I mean the screenshot is 10 PMUN + zone + supp ex + hail buff from irida

And SEUP

Godcerola + irida be like

SSN starts fight with +3 PMUN

Then you set sun and set ice zone again while he TMs and he has now +6 PMUN
Cast his move, 8 PMUN, two b sword dance and it's +6 ATK+10 pmun

Before even syncing

[sonic blaze]

srry went to sleep x.x

[grizzled ridge]

ahh np I am trying something and it kinda worked for kalos one just a couple of stages left

[lone crypt]

What setup do you suggest against malva?

ah

nvm

I'm blind

you wrote malwa-zinnia

[old orchid]

You can send your roster here and everyone will help you making teams instead

[lone crypt]

For sure, let me remake it like i did some time ago

[nocturne pawn]

if you have karen 3/5 shes pretty effective

[old orchid]

There is a good chance you don't have some units used in their clears

[lone crypt]

I got karen + houndoom at 2/5

[grizzled ridge]

First I did was malwa I had SC zinnia so it made it a bit easier and then I used blastoise and replaced raichu with hooh because I was suggested to get crit on dura for diantha

[lone crypt]

pulled her twice 4 mins ago

[grizzled ridge]

hooh is just a random fire type I have

probably wasted the potential of it lmao

although It did help a bit with zinnia combo

[grizzled ridge]

yeah I think look at your dark damage dealers and work on a team based on that , ppl here are very helpful with all the suggestions

[nocturne pawn]

doesnt 2/5 karen still have a sync multiplier

[cinder summit]

Karen & Houndoom

[nocturne pawn]

sync power flux and overwhelm

for hard mode that should be enough

[grizzled ridge]

is sidney better than karen for dark mode?

[nocturne pawn]

if hes 3/5 he nukes better but his dps is pretty poor

karen has a nuke and good dps which is why i tend to use her more for dark weak

[lone crypt]

This is what I currently got

oops

It ain't much but it's honest work

[old orchid]

Are their move level and EX accurate?

[lone crypt]

yes

I made extra sure

[old orchid]

Because its weird to see Victor not 5/5 and EX which are free

[lone crypt]

Victor? sorry not good with names

[old orchid]

You havent got all pairs from sync pair up events too

[cinder summit]

Victor & Spectrier

Acquisition:

Event Reward

Alternates:

Victor & Rillaboom

[lone crypt]

the ones like giovanni + persian?

[old orchid]

No need to ping me

[lone crypt]

Ooh

[old orchid]

Yeah

[lone crypt]

yeah i gotta finish that one up

sorry i need to disable auto ping on quote

[old orchid]

Swimsuit Misty & Psyduck and Blue & Arcanine too

Go get them asap

[lone crypt]

okay boss

And should i prio EX victor?

[old orchid]

Their events give enough materials to fet them to 5* 5/5 and full grid

You get his EX for free through login bonus

So just login everyday

[lone crypt]

ah I see

I will

thank u

damn I rly ain't got enough energy uff..

But I'll never use gems for that

I suppose patience is key

[old orchid]

Yes

Prioritize clearing these events first

[lone crypt]

so I finish farming one until i get all the rewards then start the others one by one, until i fully clear them all and get all rewards?

[swift swan]

farm one unit and get their copies before you move on to another unit

[lone crypt]

yea, okay

[swift swan]

i think the event shops give custom sync orbs and custom tickets to increase potential too, but move levels are more important

[old orchid]

Move level > sync orb > potential is the recommended priority

[lone crypt]

got it will keep that in mind

[grizzled ridge]

Ok changed a bit had to use Steven instead of a random type to debuff that aegislash since it was a bit too strong so used glalie victor and Steven for wil

[grizzled ridge]

What can I use for drasna and champion , have already used Steven and zinnia

[swift swan]

giovanni should make easy work of any psychic weak

just be careful with the poison

solgaleo can deal with diantha

[old orchid]

Lucian + Giovanni + a spatk buffer should work

[grizzled ridge]

using mewtwo but yeah having some problem I will try lucian ig

for passio 2500 with hooh what should I reduce and what build ?

[silver dirge]

pre - sync params adjusted to your team, build around Silver's Nuke

You need sun, and a physical support

[grizzled ridge]

pre sync param ?

[silver dirge]

Check pins

[grizzled ridge]

does the order of beating them matter ?

[silver dirge]

You mean round parameters? Not for Special Stadium to what I can remember, not really

[grizzled ridge]

I am guessing we use overheat nuke for build

[silver dirge]

Sync Nuke build. Aim is to one-shot

If you don't one shot might need to quad queue, but a Sacred Fire not Overheat since our build is physical

[grizzled ridge]

oh was not sure because there is physcial damage reudction 8 for points

[silver dirge]

You should be picking up Special Damage Reduction

[paper summit]

Friendly reminder not to just blindly copy those parameters, read the notes

[grizzled ridge]

I dont have full grid tiles for hooh tho is that okay

[swift swan]

ideally if you're doing CSMM you should have the full grid

[grizzled ridge]

ig i will do without 2500 then I just want to do it for the tix

[glacial star]

im redoing the hard mode on cs so gonna need help from start

lemme just fix these moves level and share my sync pairs

[glacial star]

here are all my pairs

[old orchid]

try building your teams first, then we will give feedback on them

[silver dirge]

#1010307000346878062 could be useful if you need some team building help

[pure haven]

Does type rebuff counts to negate acute senses?

[silver dirge]

Yes

[pure haven]

Nice, gonna use cBlue against malva then

[old orchid]

Gradual Healing also shuts down Acute Sense

[pure haven]

OH

[old orchid]

so just pick GH parameter

[pure haven]

Well gonna save cBlue then lmao

Tysm

From what I've heard siebold hits hard with muddy water

[swift swan]

Very

Avoid him r3 at all costs

[pure haven]

Ok

Gonna do R2 with Victor

I was wondering what support to bring against him tho

Maybe just ssAcerola alongside scSteven and try to kill him before he kills me?

[old orchid]

thats good yeah

you can replace SC Steven with a spdef buffer like Misty

[pure haven]

Kk

Gonna try SC Steven first

Welp monke gaming lol

22k mid and sides with max move

[rose prism]

Any reason to burn Glacia?

[keen jasper]

Because stages weak to a certain type tend to be more vulnerable to that status

Like burn has lesser mitigations on fire-weak stages, paralyze for electric-weak (or steel-weak Diantha) and bad/poison for poison-weak stages

[rose prism]

Is it worth it with the points?

[keen jasper]

?

[rose prism]

50pts no status con

[keen jasper]

Well, it depends on how you're gonna do the stage

[old orchid]

No its not worth it, unless your dmg dealer has burn multipliers

[rose prism]

Alright thx

[grand trout]

Fighting is next week, yes?

[old orchid]

according to the pins, yes it is

[keen jasper]

You mean the special CS? Yeah

[fluid vessel]

Last day I can't delay this any longer

[grand trout]

Yat my diantha can be put to good use...i think

honestly wondering if i should've picked guzma over her

[willow quiver]

i really like darkrai kit but it seems really tiring as cyrus always looks like

[fluid vessel]

Cyrus arguibly the biggest cheat code for CS

[versed meteor]

Tf is this

[swift swan]

Your good ol' ss cyrus solo, nothing to see here

[versed meteor]

Now i know i am dumb how tf did someone beat diantha with hop,solgaleo, gloria. No status condition, no way to deal with icy wind

[keen jasper]

Solgaleo has Impervious and Sunsteel Strike ignores Healthy Advantage

[versed meteor]

Then gloria was for what?

[keen jasper]

Gauge and prolly sync CD accelerator

[mellow linden]

I guess Theme Skill + Move Gauge Boost

[swift swan]

Gauge battery? Sync accel? It's only healthy advantage 4 so she can still do some amount of damage

[mellow linden]

Yeah, was about to say

[old orchid]

You can slot in Colress instead of Gloria

He has paralysis + defense debuff

[keen jasper]

I mean, they specifically designed steel-weak Diantha for Colress

Lesser paralyze resistance and lesser defense debuff resistance

[fluid vessel]

Yeah, this

[tired sleet]

And healthy advantage and tough cookie

[glacial star]

im thinking of going ariana and arbok vs wilkstrom as my damage dealer

idk which supports to choose now

[nocturne pawn]

why not champion serena

she has debuffs to stop good form from stacking and has good output too

[glacial star]

she good against him?

[nocturne pawn]

ariana’s dps is very low

and her sync is not that strong without 3/5

[nocturne pawn]

yes her passive while using water shuriken debuffs 5 stats whenever she uses it

[mellow linden]

Yeah, can’t say I recommend a 1/5 Ariana as the damage-dealer against Wikstrom

[nocturne pawn]

which is good for stopping his main gimmick i.e rising tide

[glacial star]

these are my supports

[mellow linden]

I’d legitimately recommend a regular Ghost damage-dealer + appropriate Support with Grimsley or a Haze user as the 3rd teammate over using a 1/5 Ariana as the damage-dealer

[glacial star]

so serena as main tech and grimsley as support

[nocturne pawn]

what about gridded shauntal

[mellow linden]

Grimsley is not a Support, and if you’re running Champ Serena as the damage-dealer you won’t need Grimsley

[glacial star]

i can use spectrier or lily as ghost dealer

[mellow linden]

A. Lillie is fine as the damage-dealer, yeah. Makes it easy to run a Support since you can just do Skyla or something. I assume this is Hard Mode?

[glacial star]

yes hard mode

[mellow linden]

What’s your type medal progress thus far?

[glacial star]

im just starting

i want everything to be in format yk

[nocturne pawn]

if you really want the extra insurance

[mellow linden]

Ah, 1st week. Try to shoot for at least 9-12 unique types across your 5 teams then

[nocturne pawn]

you can run janine for venom drench

and shes also a poison type

since anni lillie already has full self sufficiency

[mellow linden]

Note that type refers to the starting type of the pair’s Sync Move

[glacial star]

who is janine again

like who is her pair

[glacial star]

so A. lillie skyla and misty good?

[nocturne pawn]

ariados

[mellow linden]

Should be fine, the 3rd team member is fairly flexible

[glacial star]

flexible like?

[mellow linden]

It can be basically anything, in other words

[glacial star]

lemme be done with wilkstrom

i will be back for help with the others

[glacial star]

what do u think of G lapras champ serena and any other support for malva

[mellow linden]

What purpose does Melony serve on that team? Legitimate question, I want to make sure I know your thought process

[glacial star]

uhh screens with gmax and safeguard + sing saving

[mellow linden]

So tank purposes. Yeah, Melony will work fine for that. Can run another Dark damage-dealer as the 3rd to get Dark added to type medal as well

[glacial star]

absol and sidney?

[mellow linden]

Since it’s Hard Mode Sidney will work fine, yeah

[glacial star]

btw 2 medals are good to get?

or should i aim for 3

[nocturne pawn]

try to aim for 9-12

15 might be unrealistic since kalos is on the harder end of cs regions

[mellow linden]

You want to aim for 9-12 types minimum on your 1st week doing type medal so you can most easily finish it on week 2. If you can fit 3 on 1 team (which you can easily do here) that’s great, if not then it’s not a big deal as long as the end total is in the ideal range

[glacial star]

im done with malva

ss leafeon pair + cobalion + Maylene?

• should i evolve to medicham?

[mellow linden]

Why was I pinged

[glacial star]

i pinged by mistake

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

If you can evolve a Sync Pair you’re using the only reason not to evolve them is if you like the pre-evolution more and you’re willing to sacrifice the improvements from evolving in order to keep the pre-evolution

[glacial star]

but would medicham be worth it?

[mellow linden]

See my above comment

Evolution stones are easy to come by, it’s not a huge investment

[glacial star]

ok so im going leafeon cobalion and now i need a tank

[mellow linden]

Can just slap Hilbert on there. It won’t matter that he’s only 2/5 since Cobalion gives crit buffs

[glacial star]

btw this is for seibold

also i need grid for hilbert

[mellow linden]

You shouldn’t need grid on Hilbert since 1) it’s Hard Mode, and 2) he’s only 2/5

[glacial star]

i see

im having problems with seibold

i need more team suggestions

[mellow linden]

What specifically is going wrong?

Actually, wait

What round is this?

Round 3?

[glacial star]

seibold

[mellow linden]

Yes, but what round are you facing Siebold on?

[glacial star]

3rd round

[mellow linden]

Take your chances on Drasna for the 3rd round and come back to Siebold on Round 4

Siebold is become Death, the destroyer of worlds, on round 3

[glacial star]

i dont have any team in mind for drasna

so who should i use

[mellow linden]

It’s not exactly hard to come up with one, she’s weak to Psychic this week

[nocturne pawn]

3/5 caitlin is very self sufficient and immune to poison

[silver dirge]

If you're R3 on Drasna or Siebold you should probably bring some spdef support

[mellow linden]

Can just use Giovanni or Caitlin + appropriate Support + 3rd for Drasna

[silver dirge]

wait is this csmm or hard

nvm

[glacial star]

hard

[glacial star]

which type of supports to be exact

[silver dirge]

special support/crit

[mellow linden]

Read Giovanni and Caitlin’s kits (moves, passives, and grid)

[nocturne pawn]

+101

[frozen depot]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you have done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding and gameplay.

1. When making a team, you usually want to focus building around a selected damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or not if they are strong enough to off-type). This can be a / striker or a tech. Take the time to read that damage dealer's kit in its entirety (moves and passives) to see what they can buff themselves. Critical-Hit Rate maxes at +3 while all other main buffs go to +6. Damage dealers should be in slot 3 for tactics.

2. Once you figured out your damage dealer, pick a to put on slot 1 in tactics so it takes the damage. The support will often want to cover the buffs the damage dealer needs and cannot max by themselves reliably (look for critical-hit rate, attack or special attack for example). If your damage dealer is fully self sustainable, the support can cover healing or defensive utility as needed!

3. Finally your last slot is entirely flexible and depends on your first two picks. You can take a tech focusing on utility like debuffs or weather/terrain that empowers your damage dealer, or another support that focuses on defenses and healing to survive longer, perhaps even boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a second damage dealer! It's important to experiment and remember that a successful team will be able to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealer fast so they can focus on pumping out damage as soon as possible!

[viral sapphire]

Am at wikstrom on round 4.. seems impossible to beat with renegade cynthia🙄

[mellow linden]

You’ll be able to figure out what Support they need by reading their kits

[nocturne pawn]

he isnt

[mellow linden]

He’s not, but you can just bring a 2nd Ghost type anyways

[nocturne pawn]

she is actually very good for this stage as she can reliably debuff

[viral sapphire]

Idk what i am doing wrong. My main damage dealer is cynthia and victor for haze after en grade and support pair to tank

[mellow linden]

Bring a better damage-dealer than Victor, IMO

[viral sapphire]

Tried post pre sync everything

[mellow linden]

You don’t need to worry about Rising Tide if you KO before Wikstrom Syncs

[silver dirge]

Cynthia + Victor should still be able to clear with the right support & params. Make sure you're adjusting them so they work for your comp

[viral sapphire]

Whom should I use instead of victor?

[mellow linden]

Fantina or Shauntal would work fine, but also I can’t say I’d recommend Hilbert as the Support for SSR Cynthia + Victor

[silver dirge]

SC lillie should work

[viral sapphire]

What param should i use for that team then?

Pre sync?

[mellow linden]

For the Support, sure, she can work (though other Sp. Atk. supports would likely work better since SC Lillie is only 1/5)

[mellow linden]

Can try pre-Sync 1st and see what happens from there

[viral sapphire]

So i use shadow ball instead of shadow force?

[silver dirge]

Are you using shadow force (or whatever her physical move is called) on cynthia at all btw? I'd build around shadow ball only and run phys damage reduction if you aren't already

[glacial star]

so i came up with mewtwo + maylene + araquanid

[viral sapphire]

Spl atk?

[mellow linden]

Where are Giovanni’s Sp. Atk. buffs

[viral sapphire]

Yes! All this time🧐🙄

[silver dirge]

Don't use shadow force

[glacial star]

im gridding him rn

[silver dirge]

Pick up phys 8 reduction

[mellow linden]

Eh, SSR Cynthia’s Sync is physical, so if not Syncing with the other damage-dealer I’d say run only Standard for the Damage Reduction 8s

[viral sapphire]

But isn't it cynthia's sync is physical?

[silver dirge]

Ah you're right

I did not remember that

[mellow linden]

Giovanni does not get Sp. Atk. buffs from Sync grid. You have no Supports on that team to buff his Sp. Atk.

[glacial star]

should i go for psychic/sync nuke?

[viral sapphire]

I may have 5* PU to make someone EX though. Is that recommended to clear MM?

[silver dirge]

Might not need to, you just need a better support

[mellow linden]

You shouldn’t need to EX anyone here

[glacial star]

then any bsupport in mind?

[mellow linden]

A Sp. Atk. buffer

[glacial star]

i can use sabrina but that will be 2 types repeated

[mellow linden]

As long as your end total comes out to 9-12 unique types or more that’s fine. You also have other options if you want

[glacial star]

can u name?

[mellow linden]

You can search your Supports with the in-game filters to see who buffs Sp. Atk., then read kits to see who can give at least +4 Sp. Atk. quickly and reliably

[glacial star]

i can only think of blissey

[mellow linden]

Did you use the in-game filters and then read the kits?

[glacial star]

yes

faster option is elesa

[mellow linden]

Either one works

[glacial star]

they dont need grids right?

[mellow linden]

Not for Hard Mode

MP Refresh is nice if you happen to have a load of orbs, but not a huge priority if you’re short on orbs rn

[lunar meadow]

The only high priority MPR in my opinion is "breathtaking" on Rotom. Neeeeeed

[mellow linden]

Not really a big deal on Hard Mode

[nocturne pawn]

well its also 1/5

[winged agate]

Okay, I kinda forgot to get the special stadium prepared and realised it's ending soon, so: can I make a reliable off-type teams for the stadium or do I need to just get 3- and 4-star fire sync pairs done?

I should probably use Silver for Glacia to counter her weather (with SC Steven for debuffs?) and maybe use the Kanto NC trio for Red? But what with the rest

I did it on the "easy" mode with no points but I just facerolled so there was not much strategy involved

[mellow linden]

1st off, don't ignore your 3- and 4-star pairs, they generally range from decent to amazing

You have some off-type options if you want to use them, but you also should be able to get a full 5 on-type teams if you wanted to as well

And off-type options basically in this case are "Zone setter + reasonably strong damage-dealer of that type + appropriate Support" teams

[winged agate]

Alright

[wicked pebble]

Hey, asking for last minute help on fire CS

What attack types (Physical or special) should be aimed at what teams?

[mellow linden]

None of the stages prefer a specific damage category, the only major thing to keep in mind is to save your 2 strongest Fire damage-dealers (+ a Sun setter for each) for Glacia and Red

[wicked pebble]

This is what I've got access to, as a reminder. Guessing that Anni N, SS Red, andNC Leaf should be three candidates for this?

as the main focuses of their teams, I mean.

Ethan and Silver would be two others, I'd assume.

[mellow linden]

Outside of Glacia and maybe Koga the stages shouldn’t be much of an issue to on-type as long as you keep in mind the major thing to remember and use proper teambuilding/parameters/triple queue

Glacia’s just a “you’re fine as long as she doesn’t choose violence” and Koga has crit shield

[wicked pebble]

Hmm... Anni N could be good for Koga, I suppose. Due to the love of stacking attack and special attack drops for move power-ups.

Would SS Red for Glacia work?

[mellow linden]

Considering he’s probably 1 of your 2 strongest Fire damage-dealers he should work fine as long as you bring a Sun setter, yes

There’s no need to overthink things here. All the stages except Red are copy-pasted from the various CS regions, so you’ve likely beaten all of them except Red before

[wicked pebble]

Like EX Lyra?

or Blaine? Or the sun-setting Eggmon?

[mellow linden]

Sunny Day is preferable so you can have on-demand Sun

That’s just generally how it is

[wicked pebble]

wanting to save SS Morty for Red.

as in, the fight against him.

[mellow linden]

Tbh which Sun setter doesn’t matter much for that fight as long as they can set it quickly thanks to permanent field effects

Can do SS Morty for survivability, Gordie for Rebuff, etc.

[wicked pebble]

Noted, though I think that's oly for one round (aside from champion fight). So you had to handle it gingerly after that.

[mellow linden]

Permanent field effects is Red fight only

That’s why I said “for that fight”

[wicked pebble]

ah.

derp

misread what you said.

[mellow linden]

It happens

Anyway, just take a shot at it, don’t overthink it, have a grand old time, get frustrated at Glacia for deciding to choose violence on your 1st 3-5 attempts

Standard procedure, really

[wicked pebble]

How does this look?

[mellow linden]

Lack of proper buffs on the SS Red and Silver teams, Silver wants faster/more reliable Speed buffs for his Sync nuke and a 3/5 SS Red wants an Attack + crit Support to set up Haymaker for him (he can handle his own Sp. Atk. buffs)

Ethan would appreciate faster Sp. Atk. buffs than Lyra provides and Sonia’s kinda wasted as an Ethan Support

[wicked pebble]

I don't really have many 'consistent' speed buffers.

[mellow linden]

You have a Skyla that’s currently not doing nearly enough for SS Red

[wicked pebble]

THen what do I put on him then?

[mellow linden]

Did you not read what I said

[wicked pebble]

Fine, Hilbert, I guess?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Hilbert’s always a good option if you need an Attack + crit Support

If you find you need an Attack + crit Support with more sustain then Hop or Sonia would also be good

[wicked pebble]

I bring him up because speed's always important.

You never really have enough of it.

[mellow linden]

SS Red can usually function fine without a dedicated Speed buffer

[wicked pebble]

Also, I picked Sonia because she comes with potions too.

[mellow linden]

Healing is not a Sonia-exclusive concept

[wicked pebble]

That way, if spread moves hit Ethan, he has more options for healing up and using a full-power eruption.

[mellow linden]

Eruption isn’t gonna be a huge amount of damage either way, Ethan’s main damage source is gonna be Sync nuke

Brainpower makes it pretty reasonable

[wicked pebble]

Every little bit helps either way. Not sure who else to give him otherwise.

[mellow linden]

A solid Sp. Atk. + crit Support and either SS Erika or Gordie would be a good setup

SS Erika for on-demand Sun, Gordie for Fire Rebuff

[wicked pebble]

MC Torchic, maybe?

Or NC Blue?

[mellow linden]

Reasonably sure NC Blue would tick all the boxes you’re looking for, yeah

Sp. Atk. + crit, gauge Support, can heal, can buff defenses

[wicked pebble]

Updated setup.

[mellow linden]

Replace SS Blue with a Sun setter for Silver and you’re golden (I did initially forget that Silver really needs reliable Sun, apologies)

Assuming Silver’s gridded to buff his own Attack

[wicked pebble]

He's dauntless.

[mellow linden]

That doesn’t change that he needs reliable Sun

90% of his damage needs Sun

[wicked pebble]

I mean, regarding the grid stuff.

[mellow linden]

Then grid him so he buffs his own Attack and Sp. Atk. if you’re gonna use Overheat for regular moves

His Sync is physical and a major source of damage

[wicked pebble]

Like this?

[mellow linden]

Try this one, you don’t need MGR because Skyla is offering more than enough gauge support:

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13301/25000?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBgkfIiMkJS4vMDEyMzQ1

If you want Ramming Speed you can do away with the top Sync base power tile (and the tiles that connect to it) to grab it

[wicked pebble]

k.

gonna be going 1.5k, should I go higher at all?

[mellow linden]

Entirely your call

No reason to force yourself to go beyond what you’re comfortable with

[wicked pebble]

Hmm... Actually, if I use the rule regarding stat downs, should I switch Ghestis for someone else?

Ghestis is there to speed up the stat drops but if I can get it in three turns, there's not too much point, is there?

[mellow linden]

That round parameter does not affect the number of stat ranks lowered

[wicked pebble]

ah.

So I should still keep Ghestis around?

[mellow linden]

If you want

[wicked pebble]

aaaand done.

[hollow night]

What team i can use for Glacia in round 4

[fluid vessel]

so is this how it ends?

[north crown]

oh yeah the pasio cs exists...

Can someone tell me things to focus on for each stage? The infographic is too vague.

something along the lines of what to watch out for, like gimmicks (e.g: healthy advantage)

[echo gale]

huh

[north crown]

I don't want to accidentally waste Leon on a stage besides the ones with HA, if a stage like that exists.

[tribal saddle]

You still haven't done the Pasio CS?

[north crown]

nope

Cherzi moment

[tribal saddle]

Everyone besides Glacia can be stalled

[echo gale]

burn stall

[tribal saddle]

Well Red stall is a bit hard

[north crown]

ok so I'm just gonna use Leon on Glacia, got it.

ik there's something stupid for NCRed but I can't remember

[tribal saddle]

He freezes you

I mean he's NC Red

[paper summit]

set sun and forget about it basically

[north crown]

ig Marley's going there..?

oh does sun negate freeze?

[paper summit]

yes

[tribal saddle]

3 of the 5 stages want weather

[fluid vessel]

just sleep him until he's gone

with sscyrus

[north crown]

I'll just tank the hail boosted attacks... no problem

[tribal saddle]

Koga had crit shield IIRC?

[north crown]

AnniN:

[tribal saddle]

I didn't notice cuz I burn stalled him

[north crown]

oh wait nvm

hold up I want to presync Koga

iirc I beat him with a scuffed ssred team

nvm I can't fight Glacia's hail boosted moves 2k presync

[grand trout]

Try offsetting the hail?

[north crown]

not anymore. just brought techtales

torchic, 3/5 leon ex, techtales can beat glacia beofer her 6th move

"OH NO PASIO CS IS SO HARD" stop the cap

my struggles mostly comes from the teambuildling

man DeNa wants me to use NCLeaf before the Champion with that stat lowering parameter...

eh ok

[swift swan]

what are you trying

monofire teams?

[north crown]

eblue, ncleaf, tlcalem

It's working surprisingly well!

.. except when koga sets up crit shield..

[plush hollow]

i just burn and trap stalled koga with the status parameter
juicy 30k damage each time he attacked

[swift swan]

you can try flinching koga to get a few more turns so you can sync before he sets up crit shield

[north crown]

nah I'm just gonna flare blitz it in the face

with hyperbeam, heat wave, and ncleaf's b move

oh my god turn 5 defeat

yo NCLeaf's nuke is cracked even without a sync buff

[swift swan]

[north crown]

egg rk9 tank

LOL SUPP RK9, 3/5 SSHILDA, 4/5 GLORIALT WORKED ON 2K PRESYNC MOLAYNE

why are these scuffed teams working..? too much LG experience..? NAHHHH

[swift swan]

why only 2k

[north crown]

Hilda, SSRed, Blaine 2k on Grimsley... wow

I'm using almost no supports

[tribal saddle]

Nitsua haven't played CS for a year

[north crown]

OH NO I NEED TO QUADQ!!!

Funny

[rotund lagoon]

Tf, you haven’t done Victory Road??

[north crown]

I got the free character, and that's all I really care about

[rotund lagoon]

Don’t you have to do the entire thing to get that character tho?

[north crown]

apparently not

The only "stage" I haven't finished is the final cutscene

[glacial star]

im only left with seibold now and i dont even know where to start with him 💀

[old orchid]

What team are you going to use against him?

He hits hard so if you cant clear him fast enough, consider bringing a spdef buffer

[vale echo]

Dunno if I'm a noob but cs master mode is really hard for me 😭

[glacial star]

im thinking of going ss leafeon as my main attacker

idk which supports to bring with erika

[old orchid]

now only diantha is left

should i go for my strongest layout?

ss hilda sycamore and hop

im gonna by 12 pieces if i use that team

im on 9 now

@swift swansorry for ping but can u help

nvm im done

now what to do 💀

[swift swan]

if you haven't unlocked CSMM then you have to wait next week

if you've unlocked CSMM (got all 18 types), you try master mode

[swift swan]

this is for master mode, right? build teams around your damage dealer and check out our recommended parameter guides on pins

remember our pins serve as a guide so feel free to switch around the params according to your needs

Kalos is very gimmicky so no worries if you can't do 12.5k from the start

[vale echo]

Thanks for the advice will try to level all the supp pairs coz some of my strikers are already 140s

[swift swan]

125 is fine

[north crown]

reminder to change the move levels. they are important as they can potentially unlock important grid nodes

also EXes if u got any

[vale echo]

I ex my strikers but for parameters. I cannot chose strength and hp on parameters?

[old orchid]

Check the pins for recommendeded parameter sets

[north crown]

NO I meant mark down your move levels and EXes on the sync pair tracker...

[vale echo]

Oh I'm sorry bout that. Yeah let me try to do that

[glacial star]

i also got a new pair strong pair to try in red and articunp

[old orchid]

If you need help please provide context so that we can help easier

If not, move to #poma-lounge please

[plush hollow]

Apparently there's another cutscene after that one that gives you a song key tho

[raven grove]

I'm tryna complete the medal and I'm missing fairies, poison, dragon, and ground

I kinda have an idea of my main DPS but my supporting units are kinda lacking

[old orchid]

If you use Courtney as a filler for the medal, use Hapu instead. Hapu uses less gauge and helps with acc debuff

Your SS Erika team is weird

I assume the first 2 teams are not related to CS

Have you finished Wikstrom and Malva stage?

[raven grove]

yeah I finished wikstorm and malva

yeah the ss Erika team wasn't set in stone I mainly had her there as the main DPS

[nocturne pawn]

replace one of the supports with an attack support

sycamore basically isnt doing anything

[old orchid]

Shauna, SS Erika and Lucy

For Diantha, bring Drake + NC Red + anyone

Since Red is broken, but be careful not bringing anyone that has anti synergy with him

[fluid vessel]

you can legitimately add 2 lvl 1 eggmons of any type required for the medal to sycamore and he will win because he just can't die, specially if it is for getting the badge (aka 0 points)

[nocturne pawn]

…thats not what im talking about

ss erika is getting 0 support from both of them

[hollow patio]

Finally finished sending

[old orchid]

who have been used in previous rounds?

next time you should send your roster by using the tracker

[hollow patio]

I used Venusaur, Xerneas, and Darach and that’s it so far

I never set the tracker up

[old orchid]

Hilbert + The Masked Royal + Sidney

Sidney wants full grid, and sync with him first on the left side to do turn denial

[hollow patio]

Let me see what I can do

Who’s the main dps

[old orchid]

well both TMR and Sidney spams Brutal Swing

[hollow patio]

Ah my grid was for night slash

[old orchid]

you should remove that build, Sidney wants to be gridded for nuke

[hollow patio]

So would you suggest the sync nuke + brutal swing build from the doc for sid

[old orchid]

use the full boost one

[hollow patio]

That’s done now

[nocturne pawn]

question is this master mode or hard mode

[hollow patio]

Master

[nocturne pawn]

yeah that should work then

[hollow patio]

So far I’m on 1100 from just siebold

[nocturne pawn]

i like using karen cuz her nuke can wipe sides

but idk her move level for you

oh wait nvm shes 5/5

[hollow patio]

I figured instead of worrying about them attacking me why not just try to stop them from attacking at all with confusion

[nocturne pawn]

well

confusion doesnt work on mid very well

and they still get sync countdown even if they hit themselves

[hollow patio]

Which build should I make for tmr

[nocturne pawn]

doesnt really matter

[old orchid]

you can leave him ungridded if you are low on orb

[nocturne pawn]

i guess hes just there for speed and debuffs

sidney i think nukes similar to him?

he probably doesnt but mr is such a hassle to fully set up

[hollow patio]

I’m very much not low

[nocturne pawn]

well the thing is mr’s grid is mostly nuke focused

[hollow patio]

Plus I already have him with a full grid

[nocturne pawn]

which is awkward when you’re also using sidney

[old orchid]

grid him full nuke for the future

[hollow patio]

Full boost?

[nocturne pawn]

probably

[hollow patio]

Ok well that’s done

Which leaves hilbert

[old orchid]

i suggest using the Aggravation build

[hollow patio]

Which

[old orchid]

the one you feel best used in the team

[hollow patio]

Uhhh

Ok

[nocturne pawn]

crit squad is really damn good for him (practically mandatory tbh) and then he can go either endurance aggravation or shielded

[hollow patio]

I did the vigilance one

I’m going for it with 1500

Didn’t work

I’m going to try again without the support taking extra damage mod

[old orchid]

thats why you failed

dont pick that option unless you go support-less

[hollow patio]

Well I failed even without it so

[old orchid]

you made the run worse tho

[hollow patio]

Ok there we go, I just removed the gradual healing on start, and the 2 defenses up mods

Since it was easy I quit before beating it and am going to try again with one of them back

[old orchid]

and dont pick defense up params either

there are recommended param sets in the pins

[hollow patio]

Which link

[plush hollow]

Either one I think
One is a Google drive, the other an image

[hollow patio]

Am I on type pre sync more damage

[old orchid]

well thats your goal

[hollow patio]

2500 is too high

I die at full health to the first sync

[old orchid]

you can take off some parameters, the first link also has sets for lower points

[hollow patio]

Finally won with the 2k

Onto the next

[valid ivy]

i finally got 10k mm, im gonna slowly work my way up to 12.5k now w the help of this channel

my main damage dealers that i use are ncmarnie, ncred, cyrus, sslya (not a damage dealer but still carries a team), and ssred

my limited units are cmarnie, ssbrendan, sskris, cred, sslyra, celesa, annimay, and scrosa

also for the poke fair units i have cynthia steven and raihan

any ideas for 5 team comps that can offtype 2.5k mm?

I also dont know exactly which parameters to choose

the only ones i consistently choose are the ally move guage max-1 and the free 50 and 100 point ones

[silver dirge]

[old orchid]

This question fits #poma-questions or #1006350210450079784 more

[proud axle]

Does it? Their question was how to get from 10k to 12.5k

There are some score parameter suggestions in the first pinned post, at least

[old orchid]

They asked who to pull

Not a topic of this channel im afraid

[proud axle]

...In pursuit of 12.5k

[old orchid]

[proud axle]

If they asked that question last week, there would have been an actually relevant answer

[old orchid]

Even then the topic doesnt fit this channel anymore

[proud axle]

Because IIRC last week was literally built for Paulo and the three neo champs

[silver dirge]

[proud axle]

This week the answer is probably Costume Rosa (though I hate 7%-rate banners)

Steel vs Diantha makes Gloria look tempting but she aged poorly and needs dupes to access the new grid nodes meant to fix that

[proud axle]

Well, Neo Marnie and Neo Red can probably do it if the enemy doesn't have Wise ×2. But Neo Marnie is ontype this week... is this a challenge run or are you just trying to get some insurance for when you don't have the right type among your best attackers? Kalos league (and Hoenn and Sinnoh) has a way of thwarting "general purpose" teams since they need such specific counters

Are you perhaps new? I don't see any mention of your general pool or trainer lodge or BP pairs. Many of them are amazing.
Maked Royal is a fantastic Dark option in the general pool, freeing up Marnie to terrorize a different fight
Lucian is in the general pool and IIRC has the strongest singletarget Psychic sync damage potential in the game (plus really useful effects attached to Growl, of all things)
Colress is in the general pool and tidily counters Diantha's entire strategy

[nocturne pawn]

steel weak diantha is supposed to be countered by colress

[proud axle]

I want to say the league is 12.5k-able with zero Limiteds but I literally spammed Master Pairs for my clear this week so I can't exactly demonstrate

[nocturne pawn]

less paralysis resistance same with having defense based multipliers

[proud axle]

He is a mad scientist
She is a star actress
They fight crime each other to the death

Using your freebies and genpools well, can free up your best offtypers

There's also Toxic Stall as a fallback plan.

2.5k toxic stall actually got easier with the new score handicap options from a couple months ago... though it is often still kind of hair-pulling against some fights

[versed meteor]

Glacia fire weak we are looking at you

[fluid vessel]

The 2 main Poison stall units lacks a way to counter weather

And one of them on top of that is ice Weak

[outer kestrel]

What’s a good team for 2.5k diantha with these steel units, struggling on it for some reason

[tired sleet]

You need to status condition her or else she’ll take less damage

[mellow linden]

Solgaleo if you’re not gonna bring a status condition

[outer kestrel]

Oh okay, I’ll bring a status condition, didn’t realize it was necessary

[mellow linden]

If you have a 3/5+ Sonia you could just use her with any physical Steel damage-dealer instead

[outer kestrel]

I do

[zealous karma]

Solgaleo is nice cause he ignores healthy advantage and that’s the only change I’d really make but just an fyi you don’t need to monotype

[manic kiln]

mono team is still fine, can run solgaleo/hop/colress or pmarnie

[outer kestrel]

I just monotype cause of the standard damage reduction 8 parameter

But that doesn’t really matter for supports

[proud axle]

Colress completely counters Diantha's stuff

Not just Thunder Wave but also Screech to remove her Def buffs-- and more importantly to stop her getting damage multipliers from her Def buffs

[tired sleet]

I did not see their colress, but that would definitely be ideal

[proud axle]

So Colress, plus a strong Steel attacker, and maybe a speed support

[sick inlet]

Colress is my go to in any Steel weak stage.

[valid ivy]

Im not new but didnt feel like the gen pool units were worth the effort of putting in. I want to run offtype for insurance so i dont need to think about team comps. I don’t have colress and dont know who tidily is.

Wait nvm i do have colress

I thought u said colossal

Also for bp units i have surge barry and morty rn but i have some tickets to spare

Same for 5 atar bp

[paper summit]

I mean, if anything, off typing will ask even more of you about team building

On type is gonna usually be much easier, unless the damage dealer is severely lacking

[valid ivy]

Yea but i can do that now instead of every week

Im trying to use one “op” unit for every team as a core and then build off of them

[proud axle]

Sentry ×2 and Wise ×2 will thwart that idea pretty often

Aside from those, you're going to need a Piercing Blows effect to "no-brain offtype" a lot of Sinnoh/Hoenn/Kalos fights

Neo Marnie is one of the strongest offtypers but there's not a whole lot she can do against Healthy Advantage and Wise ×2, and I think there are multiple Malva stages where your tank instantly dies in one Flare Blitz if you don't get rid of the sun

[valid ivy]

Sorry what do these do

[valid ivy]

I have marnie red and ig solageo

[formal vigil]

those double enemies base defense and special defense

[proud axle]

It means you'll be at a big disadvantage if you hit them with the attack type they're strong against. Neo Marnie's damage is effectively halved against Wise×2. Even Neo Red's B Move can't bypass this.

You can probably get away with one-size-fits-all teams in Kanto, Johto, Unova, and Alola.
You're going to have a really miserable time trying that in Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Kalos

[valid ivy]

Wait why do the reigons matter

[proud axle]

Those last three regions have way harder fights with way more enemy passive abilities to screw you over

[valid ivy]

Also mt only good physical attacker unit is sslyra and maybe sserika

[formal vigil]

those reigons are more recent and have higher base stats with annoying abilities

[valid ivy]

Oh

[formal vigil]

ss lyra isn't good for physical damge

[proud axle]

Yeah, Sinnoh/Hoenn/Kalos need actual effort

[formal vigil]

especially if you wanna do max points

[proud axle]

You probably have strong phys attackers but don't know it. Solgaleo is quite good if you were here for the Alola villain arc to get its upgrade

[valid ivy]

I dont have its upgrade

[formal vigil]

silver too if you have the upgrade it did rerun recentely

[proud axle]

I thought you said you weren't new...? Ah well, maybe you were on vacation or something

[valid ivy]

I do have silvers upgrade

[valid ivy]

Lol i took a break from the game

[proud axle]

That happens sometimes.
You might benefit from looking over your general pool and freebie pairs again. Roark is amazing lately

The man's turn-to-turn output actually beats Olivia's if you grid him right

(I think Olivia still has the stronger sync nuke tho)

[formal vigil]

main problem is recoil which he does have standfast nodes and you bring healer should make it mangable

[proud axle]

He works great with another attacker alongside him (so that only half your offense will recoil on him)

Lodge Steven pretty much exists to trivialize Rock-weak Malva if you don't have Blue/dactyl

That Cradily can OHKO Malva with a well-prepared sync nuke, even on 2.5k

[valid ivy]

Lodge steven?

[proud axle]

(Might need a mixed-offense parameter set though)

[valid ivy]

Interesting ill go for that next

[nocturne pawn]

eh rock weak malva isnt bad even with sentry entry x2

[proud axle]

Malva will be Rock-weak again next week. Don't know if your Steven will be ready in time

[hollow patio]

Took me forever restarting vs Drasna and Diantha for MPR but I finally finished this week at exactly 10k

[proud axle]

As long as we're on the topic of freebies and low-rarity units to look at, Skyla is a classic MVP; Roxanne's skillset was already great and her grid gives her an amazingly-helpful Endure; Maylene can grid to give +Acc and +Speed alongside her +crit TM, which is a very valuable combination of buffs; Sycamore/Xerneas is a multipurpose hero; Cyrus is comically powerful for a freebie

[hollow patio]

Thanks for the help Gakon and Taiyo, I will be back

[valid ivy]

Yea i use skyla swanna

Idk who anyone else u said is beaides sycamore and cyrus who i both use

Cyrus w kris and syc w lyra

[proud axle]

Roxanne is a 3star Rock Support. She looks like this:

Her TM, plus X Def All, plus Endure to offset her uncomfortably low HP, make her amazing for special attackers who can max their own crit (such as Giovanni or Cyrus)

Maylene is a Fighting support. I think she's base 3star as well. If she's on-type, she can even heal herself well by gridding for that juicy Drain Punch ontype multiplier-- on top of the considerable bonuses to her TM

These days we shouldn't even count Cheryl out. She had some spotlight a while ago in an event that gave a stat multiplier for one of the theme skills she has, and she has spotlight again now for the Normal-type and Sinnoh missions for the Palmer/Argenta event.

Cheryl looks like this...

...But not dizzy.

(Normal-type Support)

[round whale]

Can I get params for this team

I don’t have on type for the other two I have to post so I’ll probably post later when I figure out a good team comp

[mellow linden]

There's parameter recommendations in the pins. I'd recommend replacing Dawn with an Attack + crit Support so SS Erika won't have to spend as much time setting up. You aren't required to monotype, your Supports' types don't matter

[proud axle]

Erika only really needs two turns to set up with this team, fwiw. Dawn's not EX so the syncs should probably all go to Adaman, who sets sun with it-- and his sync does not get damage bonuses from sun at 1/5, so it's okay to let it expire in between

If there's anything I'd want from a Support here, it's Acc buffs to counteract the debuffs that the enemy will be spamming at you

[round whale]

Ty

[latent bison]

Which pairs would be good for drasna? Here are my pairs I have

[nocturne pawn]

3/5 caitlin bianca and lucian can probably work

[latent bison]

Ok

[nocturne pawn]

wait
is this for hard mode

[latent bison]

Yes

[zealous karma]

Than I would recommend SSElesa Caitlin Skyla

[latent bison]

Ok

What about siebold

[zealous karma]

SSEirika Aaron Nanu

[latent bison]

Is that team good

[zealous karma]

In a sense yes

[latent bison]

OK who should be first

[zealous karma]

Caitlin team first

save siebold for round 3

[latent bison]

I did

I have siebold left

[zealous karma]

o

if you meant in terms of tactics(?) aaron

[latent bison]

OK thanks Eirika last

Like this

[zealous karma]

yes

[latent bison]

Ok

What about selene

She is six stared

[zealous karma]

She would work but her damage is lower than eirikas unless Selene is gridded and you cant afford to grid her

[latent bison]

Here is her grid

[zealous karma]

I am not sure if inertia is gridded

oh it is

[latent bison]

Here is the final team

[zealous karma]

Oh that’s 18 pieces nice

[latent bison]

Thanks for the congratulations

[zealous karma]

[nocturne pawn]

now do master mode

[latent bison]

I already have done master mode

[nocturne pawn]

oh that was master mode?

good job

[twilit kiln]

Anyone can help me set up teams for round 1,2,3 of kilos champion stadium? I'm stuck at hard no.1 and not sure what teams to use to clear

[old orchid]

hello, is this hard mode?

[twilit kiln]

yea hard no.1

[old orchid]

alright, this week parameters are free, except R3 which you should avoid fighting Siebold there

you can choose to fight anyone on R1 first

[twilit kiln]

is siebold just harder to fight in general?

cuz i cant seem to clear him with any team

or do you think its better to just use higher level pokemons then to use grass 125 pokemons?

[old orchid]

Siebold has increased spatk stat so he is harder than everyone

[fluid vessel]

how to win vs Siebold: Use Sycamore

[twilit kiln]

who taht

[old orchid]

for R1 you can use SS Erika, Gordie and Misty

[twilit kiln]

R1 siebold?

[old orchid]

yeah if you choose him first

btw i havent seen you complete Legendary Adventures yet

[twilit kiln]

how i do that

[old orchid]

there are solid 8 legendary pairs there with free 5/5 and 20/20

[twilit kiln]

WHERE

[old orchid]

the LA is under main story

+legexchange

[frozen depot]

When completing a Legendary Adventure in the Main Story section, you will be awarded a sync pair, 4 vouchers and 20 power-ups (usable on that pair only)

• Trade the vouchers for copies of that pair (in the shop > legendary adventure tab)
• DO NOT TRADE the power-ups, use all 20 on the unlocked pair (in upgrade > potential tab)

[twilit kiln]

oh damn

[old orchid]

please take note of this before complete LA

[twilit kiln]

okie dokie

[old orchid]

you should complete that first

[twilit kiln]

okie dokie

[old orchid]

Sycamore and Hop are solid supports

[fluid vessel]

Inmortal mushroom

[old orchid]

If I had a nickel for every time an immortal mushroom is introduced, I'd have two nickels
Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[fluid vessel]

Introduced on variety banners too

[old orchid]

variety my hatred

[fluid vessel]

Now the question is Who's variety alt is getting Inmortal Breloom

[willow quiver]

Breloom with both drain punch and gigadrain

[lime raven]

Guys

I still havent beaten siebold

[old orchid]

Are you playing in master mode? And yes what team and params are you using

[lime raven]

Yeah master mode

i been trying over and over with this team

[silver dirge]

What round as well?

[lime raven]

Round 4

[silver dirge]

3/5 Brendan would like sun for Charging sun 5

Assuming you are running presync parameters, you will have a lot of offenses and siebold's muddy water will take you out or get close to

You need a support that buffs your spDef quicker

It looks like SS Leaf has no one to buff her crit so she is not achieving much on this stage apart from the defence debuffs I guess

Did you ask for help before with the same team btw? got mad deja vu with this for some reason

[lime raven]

most likely

but im inconsistent

[silver dirge]

Well yeah, those are some changes you need to make ^

Are you syncing with Brendan to get his mega?

[lime raven]

yeah

Like

At first

[silver dirge]

Okay so Sycamore is achieving absolutely nothing then

Replace him

[lime raven]

I tried a lot of combinations

Thats why leaf was there

[silver dirge]

Okay so .. what have you tried and what goes wrong?

[lime raven]

And why i upgraded her to 2/5

I thought it would help with getting a second sync in

But

I realize now

I wasted a good plain 5 star candy

[silver dirge]

You're running Brendan with Sycamore and syncing with Brendan first. All the speed buffs, SpDef buffs that you were supposed to get to help Brendan's Inertia/Ramming Speed are non existent. Sycamore is doing nothing

[lime raven]

No i did try sycamore first too

but

i keep losing in the long run either ways

Doesnt matter how much damage i do

[silver dirge]

Yeah, so like what happens? What did you try and what went wrong? I've suggested some changes above too, have you tried those?

I can't help unless you give some specific info

Also your params?

[lime raven]

so heres how i was doing it originally

With these params

Hold up

[silver dirge]

Also just quickly confirming, you are confident with teambuilding yes? I'm only asking because you've got SS Leaf on the team with 0 crit buffs, you're not tryna do damage with her are you?

[lime raven]

nope

Just poison and defense lowering

And her trainer move

[silver dirge]

Params are alright, I would pickup Grad Healing and drop any defence params.

Okay so like I said earlier, muddy water will kill brendan if you don't buff spdef most of the time, especially on offense/strength

Since Brendan is very self sufficient, you can throw in a support that buffs special defence and crit

[lime raven]

I took off no weather and gave myself grad healing

How bout that

[silver dirge]

Crit isn't too necessary either

[silver dirge]

Huh?? Grad healing is for the enemies, not you

Put weather back "off". As in choose that parameter

[lime raven]

No i know

[silver dirge]

Oh, are you going to change your comp to include sun?

Then yes, take it off and pick up grad healing

[lime raven]

Sun does make a difference doesnt it

[silver dirge]

If you go with a DPS build for Brendan, yes

Charging Sun 5 & Ramming Speed are really nice

You can also incorporate a hybrid of both DPS/Nuke

[lime raven]

grass types?

[silver dirge]

I'm mainly looking for supports and sun setters on your roster

but sure, grass types too. SS Erika comes to mind, do you have her?

[lime raven]

Yeah

I used her against

someone

i forgot who

[silver dirge]

Ah okay

[lime raven]

you were there

i think

idk

[silver dirge]

I don't recall, but that's fine there's always blaine

or tech ninetales or fuecoco

[lime raven]

I uh

Fuecoco huh

yeah i knew they were gonna come in handy

Especially quaxly

[silver dirge]

The support fuecoco specifically

[lime raven]

Oh so the non shiny ones

[silver dirge]

Well it can be shiny, but for the comp it needs to have sunny day
