Champion Stadium

[keen jasper]

Nah, it's BP Valerie week

[toxic cobalt]

True, need to work her out

Debuffing physical attackers though, Mina niche

[keen jasper]

I'm not confident I can 4k Caitlin this week with Victor + Fantina

[silver dirge]

Why do we have half sync again?

[swift swan]

[keen jasper]

Half sync is free 250 pts.

[toxic cobalt]

Honestly prefer it to physical/special damage reduction

[keen jasper]

Because I can YOLO stages with ease

[fluid vessel]

good

half sync goated

[keen jasper]

Yeah, half-sync is overhated

They don't do it like me

Using both -1 and -2 sync CD parameters for free 250 pts.

[fluid vessel]

you can enable so much stuff with half sync parameter

[keen jasper]

Yeah, even half HP parameter

Actually, half-sync is free 450 pts.

[silver dirge]

I get why y'all like it, and yea it makes for some fun clears but I just like my methodical 3 turn queuing if that makes sense

[keen jasper]

I'm even able to pre-sync half sync round parameter in 4k pts.

Well, it just depends on the weakness

I mainly use it on ground-weak and water-weak stages

[fiery canopy]

new week waowaowoaoaow

[toxic cobalt]

Half sync can be terrible for new players. Obviously for experienced players with NCBlue it's just free points/time saving.

[silver dirge]

Yep

[swift swan]

Took me a while before i found a good strat to presync half sync stages

[keen jasper]

Even I don't use NC Blue for my half sync round parameter clears

SS Giovanni will just easily destroy Shauntal this week even at 4k pts.

[toxic cobalt]

Animay with any psychic spatker

[swift swan]

Lussamine my beloved

[keen jasper]

Unova may be baby mode, but even I'm not sure if I can do ghost-weak Caitlin in 4k pts.

[silver dirge]

most modern pairs make half sync a joke anyway. Take champ marnie on dark

[swift swan]

No ssr cynthia?

[grand crater]

this week's typings suck

[keen jasper]

Nah

Like I said, I hate her

[toxic cobalt]

I presynced Ghost a month ago on half sync with Shauntal, CMarnie is for noobs

[swift swan]

Ugh, the challenge i want to do this week is gonna suck..

[silver dirge]

I used shauntal offtype last week too

[toxic cobalt]

This is so true sadly. What a combination.

[keen jasper]

I'm conflicted on who I should use as my burst sync, Victor or Fantina

[grand crater]

i know

i have barely any sync pais for this week

[toxic cobalt]

The base pairs would be Bugsy, Mina, Clay, Giovanni, and Roark

[devout sluice]

Every time I see ghost weak, I’ll just stall.

[silver dirge]

For hard mode you don't gotta be ontype, you'll be okay

Just throw a DD and some fingers at each stage

[toxic cobalt]

I feel like that's the most accessible typing this week!

[silver dirge]

Fillers*

We've got BP Valerie now fairy should be more accessible than before

[devout sluice]

Ya, she can even clear round 2. With the right parameters that is.

[toxic cobalt]

V annoying BP Valerie is also physical, redundant to Mina. I get that they didn't want to make it redundant to Sylveon, but also that's Sylveon

[sand karma]

There's no gimmicks in unova right?

[silver dirge]

Give OG Valerie a couple of SDE9 nodes or something please

[toxic cobalt]

There are minor gimmicks, but nothing like Hoenn/Sinnoh/Kalos

[fiery canopy]

shauntal...hrgmhmngmmrrm....

was gonna use ingo + emmet but iris is rock weak so i wanna use emmet there instead...

[fluid vessel]

iris

[toxic cobalt]

You have anyone with a secondary ground attack, like SS Serena or May?

[old orchid]

There is Naomi too

[slim prawn]

Should I battle grimsly first

[old orchid]

What is this team

You dont have any crit + atk buffer like Hilbert or Torchic?

[slim prawn]

Doing for medal

[old orchid]

No need to ping me

How many types do you need to fill for the medal?

[slim prawn]

10 more

[old orchid]

Do you have SS Erika?

[slim prawn]

This was recommended

[toxic cobalt]

Do you have Bugsy or Guzma or something that isn't Viola

[old orchid]

I mean Viola should be in a stall team

Wait is Grimsley Bug weak?

[toxic cobalt]

Is..that a stall team?

[old orchid]

For this week?

[slim prawn]

Yea

[old orchid]

Ping

[slim prawn]

Sorry for the ping

[old orchid]

I mean i didnt recommend to use her in that team

[slim prawn]

So who I need to fill up bug type anyways

[toxic cobalt]

^

[slim prawn]

Which bugzy

[fiery canopy]

meant alder oops lol

[noble plaza]

I FROGOT ONE TYPE IN THE CS HARD MODE

ICE BLENDED IN WITH EVERYTHING GRAYED OUT

[fiery canopy]

i do have may

[noble plaza]

IM LITERALLY SO MAD AT MYSELF RIGHT NOW

[slim prawn]

Should I go first round grimsly

[toxic cobalt]

This week just figure out your round 2, the rest don't matter

[undone ether]

You have 3/5 guzma. should be able to out grimsley

[slim prawn]

Ok the other plan failed

[grand crater]

i cant clear any of the cs lmo

[pearl shale]

Yeehaw chucklenuts

[undone ether]

Send your roster here

[pearl shale]

And did it with every type too

[undone ether]

Gj

Did you unlock mm?

[toxic cobalt]

Sounds like you can reset and try master mode!

[pearl shale]

Lets see

Yay

[undone ether]

If you see reset... means master mode is open

[pearl shale]

Does reset also reset the rewards?

[silver dirge]

No

[pearl shale]

Rip

[silver dirge]

Can claim only once

[undone ether]

You still have MM rewards

So you can go for those

[silver dirge]

Oh yes, you can do the MM rewards now

But after that resetting won't get you more rewards

[undone ether]

They are 1 time as well

[pearl shale]

You guys wanna see smt cool?

[undone ether]

So. If you get it this week, gotta wait next week for a reset

[keen jasper]

Ok, finally done Grimsley, it became significantly easier when I replaced +5 Atk./Sp. Atk. for no fields parameter since my team doesn't use fields anyways

[pearl shale]

I unlocked smt special

Y'all like to see it or nah

[undone ether]

Smt special?

[keen jasper]

What is it?

[pearl shale]

Huzzah!

[grand crater]

sorry for the ping

[zealous karma]

This would fit better in #gacha-and-flex

[pearl shale]

Oh sorry

Didnt know the EX counts as flex

[undone ether]

Thats a lot of levels needed but hum

Is this hard mode?

[grand crater]

yes

[undone ether]

Are you missing any types i. The medal?

[dusty crater]

there's a sprint coin in this week's Master Mode

[slim prawn]

How to do

Battle

[wet gate]

press the battle button

[slim prawn]

Doing it so I can beat grimsly

[toxic cobalt]

Quite a few powerful units here, which battles are you trying and with what teams?

[grand crater]

can someone help??

[grand crater]

all hard mode cs this week

[slim prawn]

Should I sync with rosa first or guzma my boy

[undone ether]

Rosa first then

[toxic cobalt]

Can you get Giovanni to lv100?

[grand crater]

which one

but yes

[toxic cobalt]

Default one

Mewtwo

[grand crater]

what do i do with him

after lv 100

[toxic cobalt]

Level up Raihan for Rock, and Naomi for ground

Then you can use SS Leaf and Rei on the other two stages

[grand crater]

any suggestions on what supports to use?

[slim prawn]

Guzma dies to grimsly support Pokemon Icy wind

[toxic cobalt]

For Giovanni you can use Roxanne. For Raihan you can use Hop. For Naomi use Sabrina. SS Leaf and Rei don't need much help.

[grand crater]

tysm!!!

[undone ether]

Ooof. Okay viola might be better there

[slim prawn]

Should I take out side Pokemons first

[toxic cobalt]

Actually can probably use Aaron for Raihan as you've already levelled him.

[silver dirge]

Aim for mid

[toxic cobalt]

Then you can use the third slot to add speed or add new types

[grand crater]

thank you so so much

[silver dirge]

Wait on hard mode? Do you have guzma being targeted?

[slim prawn]

He was thrid

Icy wind hits all so

So what to do

[silver dirge]

Hmm are you triple queuing correctly? Maxing out Guzma's crit/offenses first?

[grand crater]

beat caitlin with rei and victor thank you so much

[slim prawn]

I first impression then Max guzma out then rosa sync then all out pin missile

[toxic cobalt]

I hope there was a third

[grand crater]

there was

[toxic cobalt]

Oh Caitlin was the Giovanni team

hmm

well, I have faith Giovanni can still do it

[silver dirge]

Aurochs teaching people to 2v3 from the very beginning

[toxic cobalt]

If I'm misread enough I'll get an SS Leaf solo out of this!

[silver dirge]

Err I'm not too sure, any chance you can record some of your gameplay?

Don't bother with first impression

[grand crater]

?

[toxic cobalt]

Caitlin is ghost weak, she was meant to be taken down by Giovanni

[grand crater]

sorry i don't understand some of what you're saying

[silver dirge]

Just that it was intended for you to use Giovanni against Caitlin, instead of the Victor team

[grand crater]

you said raihan for rock stage but rock (alder) is after elite four

so now im a bit confused

[toxic cobalt]

Correct, Raihan for that stage.

He has rock slide and is decent enough

[grand crater]

are they meant to be separate?

[toxic cobalt]

Yes

[grand crater]

ah i see

thanks

[toxic cobalt]

SS Leaf will poison them and tank whatever, Rei as you have seen will just win

[grand trout]

I'm sorry but I'm so proud of this

[trail smelt]

Ugh never gonna use Naomi again

Annoying

I still wish Lusamine was better too lol

In any case ready for next week

[devout sluice]

Least no ghost until after next weeks reset. Prepared for next week.

[grand trout]

Man, we're getting 2 repeats next week

[wide adder]

More than half this cs is repeats so have fun with that fact lol

[keen jasper]

Yeah, my ghost units sucks fuck that I can't even do 4k Caitlin

Just gonna do 3.5k against her I suppose

[versed meteor]

, used post sync param and for some reason she hits like a fucking truck

Evelyn took almost 500 damage from psychic

[left storm]

Tfw Naomi too shit to 2v3 3k

Had to give up and grab 14.5k

[keen jasper]

[left storm]

3k sludge waves doing 210 to ingo but 580 to her

💀

Rest was fun tho

Tried using "bad" or underrated units

It's always fun to carry wally with special Def 8

[undone ether]

wow this thing actually worked. also, even with +6 SP.ATK, SS Diantha can tank 2 Hyper Beams to the face 😮

[left storm]

Double variety Lorelei strat

[wicked pebble]

Is Anni LIllie still competitive against stuff?

I mean, in regards to CS.

she's the best ghost type striker I have

[old orchid]

she is still very good ontype

[wicked pebble]

even at 1/5?

[keen jasper]

Yes

[silver dirge]

she don't get much from 3/5

[old orchid]

sync wise she cant compete with 3/5 Fantina who is an accessible Ghost type

[silver dirge]

[keen jasper]

Lillie still has better DPS, but even that is nothing compared to Fantina's nuke

[wicked pebble]

These are my ghost type options.

[silver dirge]

anni lillie powerboost soon

[old orchid]

you should have EX Victor

your roster is not lacking

[silver dirge]

Fantina is great. Anni Lillie will still clear any on-type content

[wicked pebble]

If there was EX spirits for him, I never saw them in the exchange or anything.

[undone ether]

oh that should be SS Diantha lmao

[old orchid]

you got them from his login bonus

[wicked pebble]

Then I have no idea.

[old orchid]

check your bag

[wicked pebble]

Wouldn't they show up here?

[silver dirge]

Lol you've already got him 20/20, you've used them

[wicked pebble]

...I was talking about Spirits, not power ups.

[silver dirge]

Spirits are generic

[old orchid]

mb, there was no exclusive spirits for him

and you have a lot of them anyway, spend 50 on him

his entire gimmick is setting up Ghost Zone, which is very good for any kind of roster

[toxic cobalt]

So much AnniLili slander, one time best fairy striker

[left storm]

Anni Lillie is really good 1/5, healthy benefits and potions are easy carry

[keen jasper]

You mean 5/5 MF grids

[silver dirge]

[undone ether]

5/5 MF Grids

we already got EX Role.

its a pretty good tradeoff tbh

they COULD still do 5/5 stuff

but i think its for very old Master Fairs.

stares Kyogre and Groudon

if these two gets a Power Boost, all hell will break loose @_@

[silver dirge]

[left storm]

Anni 2 mfs and Leon would definitely deserve some buff, but those 2? Hell nah

[silver dirge]

Yea that Anni trio has definitely fallen off

[left storm]

Lunaala is great for ontype but she's really bad in other scenarios

At least her 1/5 is solid

But Anni n and Rayquaza really struggle to stay relevant imo

Leon after gmax is better than Anni N I feel for most content

[silver dirge]

Yeah it's a shame because M Ray is so cool

Anni N has just been powercrept, especially now that NC Leaf exists with faster/better debuffs and a much better nuke

[left storm]

Yeah tbh I never understood the Anni n hype

His buffing kit and debuffing priorities are all over the place

[silver dirge]

It is pretty convoluted yeah, but I think it was still pretty good for 2021

Isn't he the first Extend Range unit?

That + guaranteed spDef debuffs + Piercing Blows

[left storm]

Yea yea

It's just that his sync multipliers requiring either roar or ciris to enable is a bit meh imi

[silver dirge]

I definitely agree with that, his self setup has always been awkward

If I'm going to do everything with just him (I know, not efficient) it'd be 2 turns for max SpAtk, 2 turns for max crit, and then 6 for nuke?

[nocturne pawn]

you’d be better off just using an external debuffer instead of ever using noble roar with him

[silver dirge]

yeah for sure

[nocturne pawn]

also ghetsis has double drop on noble roar so hes better than iris anyway

[silver dirge]

Ghetsis or iris

[left storm]

Yeah and tbh running someone like hjasmine to set him up faster doesn't help, you're always forced into running ATK and spatk debuffers separately because noble roar just sucjs

[nocturne pawn]

iris is still 6 turns and basically contributes nothing after that unless you can somehow get -2 from support

[nocturne pawn]

ghetsis:

[left storm]

Yea ok but he doesn't do much else

[nocturne pawn]

neither does iris

which is the problem with him compositionally

his enablers dont do anything other than enabling his nuke

its better to double strike

with him

[silver dirge]

Yeah, NC Leaf is a great enabler for him but then ... why would I ever sync with N

[nocturne pawn]

cuz he is actually good at enabling that

pep rally on blue flare and 2 mgas from tm

[silver dirge]

I love Pep rally

[left storm]

Yeah, but she doesn't weight on endgame gauge

Ofc if we're talking 3/5 it's another deal

[slim prawn]

Finished grimsly who should I go with in round 2

[left storm]

I'm talking taking in account 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5 Vs the alternatives

[slim prawn]

Who to battle in round two

[undone ether]

I dont remeber the teams that were given to you

It was Lethal i think

View this in this channel and look for messages

Pretty sure i mentioned u with your teams

[silver dirge]

Lol check #916852044692856834. There's just been a discovery that Piercing Blows ignores Special/Physical Damage Reduction 8 & Standard Damage reduction

[left storm]

Bruh that's 500 free points?

[dark osprey]

Wonder how long it's been that way. Remember accidentally seeing it for NC Reds B move

[silver dirge]

Yessir, at least 400 considering you'd pick one anyways

[undone ether]

is it just Special/Physical Damage Reduction?

ohh

standard as well

INTERESTING

[grand crater]

i still can't beat shauntal

[old orchid]

what is your current team?

and is this hard or master mode?

[grand crater]

hard mode, naomi, sabrina and an empty slot because i don't know what to do with it

[old orchid]

use Acerola for Sandstorm

Naomi wants Sand for her damage multipliers

[grand crater]

thank you!

i still can't beat shauntal

every single time she uses her sync move everyone dies

[mellow linden]

What round is this?

[grand crater]

3

[mellow linden]

Are you making sure to triple queue?

[full mesa]

Fairy was the worst yet again. I need a fairy striker...

[mellow linden]

BP Valerie and Mina are both free

[full mesa]

R3 and R4 aren't too easy to quadqueue. Either go for post sync or try to flinc.

[mellow linden]

Well, Mina is low-rarity gacha

But the point is that both are accessible

[full mesa]

I used Sycamore/BPValery/Kukui. Needed more than a few tries. +6att BPValery couldn't one shot the sides on -5 def. Only on -6.

[mellow linden]

Those round parameters straight up negate quadqueue unless you refresh the effect or use some shenanigans, yeah. Sync accel or turn denial is the way to get around that

[grand crater]

most of the time yes

i haven't got much practice with it

[full mesa]

Now it's the time. Unova is moderate in difficulty for new players.

Make sure you quadqueue every turn.

[mellow linden]

Get some more practice so you can triple queue 100% of the time. If you normally play with the game at a higher speed then lower it to 1x speed at the start of the fight to make the initial triple queue easier

[full mesa]

Also make sure your device doesn't lag. If so, lower your graphics.

[mellow linden]

If you’re not focusing on the center opponent 1st you should try doing so, KOing the center before they can Sync = no enemy Sync

[grand crater]

will do!

[full mesa]

No enemy sync = no power up for the already boosted aoe sides.

Also BPValery is ground weak. Those sides did a number on her.

[grand crater]

it still kills everyone before i can do any major damage to chandelure

[mellow linden]

Are you making sure to max Naomi’s Sp. Atk. and crit, and to have Sandstorm setup?

[grand crater]

yes

[mellow linden]

Who’re you Syncing with?

[grand crater]

naomi

[mellow linden]

How much HP is the center opponent left with by the time enemy Sync happens?

[grand crater]

around 4/6 to 3/6

[mellow linden]

Hmm

Could you record an attempt? It would help us better narrow down what the issue might be

[grand crater]

would you mind a video recorded from another device

[mellow linden]

A screen recording software would be ideal. You could also just take a screenshot right when the opponent is about to Sync instead if recording is a bit difficult for you rn

[grand crater]

oh alright

[left storm]

Remember that she sets SEUP with each SD so at start of match you can most likely TM SD play rough X2 left side for turn denial

[grand crater]

before

after

[mellow linden]

Naomi’s crit isn’t getting maxed. What Move Level is your Sabrina, and are Sabrina or Naomi gridded?

[grand crater]

sabrina 1/5 move level ( i dont have candies)

[mellow linden]

Also, never touch Acerola’s Trainer Move

[manic kiln]

4 moves left till 2nd sync is also weird, did you triple queue

[grand crater]

yes

[mellow linden]

You shouldn’t candy Sabrina anyways

[grand trout]

oh, i use it for the healing...

[full mesa]

Sycamore runs adrenaline 1 so no need for that. The issue was after the second sync. They start spamming eq and she can't take more than 2 hits. So no SD boosts. Nonetheless, I did. Also keep in mind I did the battle on R1.

[mellow linden]

On the set of actions when your Sync Move will become ready, wait until the Sync is ready before queueing more moves

I’m certain that’s why the countdown is weird

I assume you’re queueing move -> move -> Sync instead of Sync -> move -> move when Sync is ready

[left storm]

Well turn denial gives advantage no matter if you run adrenaline or not

[mellow linden]

If your Sabrina is only 1/5 you’ll probably have to change up how you do buffs

[pearl shale]

Does NC Red have that?

[left storm]

Yes

[mellow linden]

And have Naomi do 2 Trainer Moves -> Earth Power for her 1st 3 actions while Sabrina does Trainer Move on Naomi -> Trainer Move on Naomi -> Dire Hit All for her 1st 3 actions

[left storm]

On his Buddy iirc?

[pearl shale]

[grand crater]

ive always queued sync->move->move instead of the former

[mellow linden]

Then your Sync countdown should have been at 1 away from Sync by the time the opponent Synced

Somehow you’re losing an entire set of 3 actions

[grand crater]

oh shit

i just remembered that acerola fell asleep for a few turns

[mellow linden]

That would do it

If a Gengar uses Hypnosis and it lands I’d just reset the fight, tbh

[nocturne pawn]

i forgot this stage had hypnosis but thats even more incentive to deny sides

[grand crater]

it has hit every single time

[mellow linden]

Don’t touch Acerola’s Trainer Move and try to have Acerola use Astonish targeting the left side as her very 1st action after Naomi’s Sync (so it goes Naomi Sync -> Astonish or Sabrina’s move -> whichever wasn’t used previously in terms of the move order)

That way you can potentially flinch the Gengar and get a 2nd Sync before the opponent can Sync

If a Gengar uses Hypnosis and it hits then restart the fight. They don’t always use Hypnosis

[grand crater]

still one away from 2nd sync move

[left storm]

Fun team ngl

Kukui is always such a fun unit to turn denial with

[grand crater]

but got to 2/6 shauntal's health

[left storm]

I only now noticed I missed the sync crit, ofc

[grand crater]

they keep hitting hypnosis, it is a wonderful time

[full mesa]

Couple differences, I run Kukui as a leer bot and not a flinch hack. I don't run Fierce entry x2 so I need an extra turn to boost my stats if Sycamore's passive doesn't activate. Your run was safer and more stable.

[left storm]

I mean isn't the leer bot grid also the flinch bot grid?

I haven't used kukui in any other way since 2021

Also fierce entry is really good, what are you grabbing instead of it?

[grand steppe]

no action order displayed

[grand trout]

Who did y'all choose for half sync?

[keen jasper]

I chose Shauntal

[old orchid]

that depends on your teams

[left storm]

It makes my phone lag

Also I really don't see the usefulness of it as long as PvE will only act once at a time

[keen jasper]

Well, they're asking us

[left storm]

Fairy weak

[grand steppe]

Still pretty team specific.

[left storm]

Thro has really mediocre sync and buffing kit so it's easier to not get wiped by it

[grand trout]

I chose caitlin so victor can assert ghost zone more

[grand steppe]

Well every stage's sync move is very similar.

[grand trout]

So who did you do personally, gakon

[grand steppe]

Well for me, I'd probably do fairy-weak Marshal, cause ssWally has a bunch of sync accel.

[calm marsh]

I hate Marshal Endure

It make solo with NY Lisia so hard

[old orchid]

this week i did -3 sync cd on every stage challenge #1053291896778264597 message

[fluid vessel]

We need PBlows LS with 0.1% rate

[grand trout]

Oh inma follow you

[keen jasper]

I was able to 4k Shauntal on R2

Pre-sync too

[grand steppe]

If the recent change remains, this would be road to easy town.

[keen jasper]

Oh man, next week is going to be hella easy to do 20k pts.

[grand trout]

I think I'll bring ariana out next week

Hope she does well at 1/5

[lone crypt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009554906568462476/1160514338973564939/SyncPairsTracker.png

Second Week. I've filled 12/18 Types of the medal. Where the missing ones are Electric, Grass, Fighting, Poison, Flying, Psychic.
I'm looking for some help on building my teams for this week

[grand steppe]

I'm a little late, but I updated the pinned breakdown

[vestal echo]

Man i cant beat r3/r4 with 2500 pts

Their sync move kills me everytime

[grand steppe]

If you utilize flinch or sync accel you can sync before they do.

[vestal echo]

Im nearly at 2nd sync before they are at first

But still getting slapped

[grand steppe]

Well R3/4 are nothing really, as long as you buff you'll ignore those shields.

[vestal echo]

But i cant survieve their sync

[nocturne pawn]

oh i know the problem its the shields that stop quad queue and i dont think they can dps their way through

[vestal echo]

With all my buffs up

[grand steppe]

Ah I see. Well, you can utilize the above mentioned to extend the their timer, or blaze past it with sync accel.

[vestal echo]

i even have 6/6 in both defs at pairs, sometimes my supoprt survieves it, but rest dies

[grand steppe]

Depends on the team.

[grand steppe]

You shouldn't have too many issues with a support, one on-type damage dealer, and the medal required type for non-master mode clear.

[vestal echo]

its vs caitlin, tried with xernas, sonia & mewtwo, also with zapdos instead of xernas.

also tried with zygarde sonia + buffer/tank and akira, gio & def.

[grand steppe]

Idk what the params are, but I'm guessing its high str

[vestal echo]

off sync params from pin

off type*

[grand steppe]

Is the Serena 1/5?

[vestal echo]

4/5

she does good dmg but the -2 gauge rly seem to fuck it up

[grand steppe]

instead of akari, why don't you just put ssElesa in there

she can just accel the sync by -2

or Lucian, or some other enabler

If you're not getting to 2nd sync, then you need to adjust.

[vestal echo]

dontt know if i have ss elesa

sec

zebrastrike?

[cinder summit]

Sygna Suit Elesa & Rotom

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Unova)

Alternates:

Elesa & Zebstrika
Elesa & Joltik
Elesa (Palentine's 2023) & Togetic
Elesa (Classic) & Emolga

[vestal echo]

nvm found it

[grand steppe]

make sure you grab Breathtaking: MPR3

You can gamble for MPR, or just use it after serena syncs

[vestal echo]

breathtaking mpr3?

ah the grid

[grand steppe]

Note that I needed to quad queue at the end in order to finish her off.

[vestal echo]

hm

[grand steppe]

Note that if you just Lucian you can KO sides

[vestal echo]

dont have lucian

tomorrow is my day 30 lol 😄

i will try with ur team

nearly succeede with xernas instead of sonia

[nocturne pawn]

wait doesnt caitlin have increased special defense

no wait that was last week

[vestal echo]

gege @grand steppe

now shauntai left before final

i have akira team or mewtwo left

[grand steppe]

You coulda used serena for ground weak shauntal

[vestal echo]

ima try gio zapdos and mewtwo

and mb sync with zap first then mewtwo? if i get that far

[grand steppe]

okay, got rock planned?

I'm not worried with 4/5 zapdos lol

sync with zap first

[vestal echo]

hm mewtwo dies from enemy snyc, need something else than gio

[grand steppe]

who is the 3rd unit

[vestal echo]

gio persin

[grand steppe]

Zapdos already buffs all of Gio's stats.

Pick a 3rd unit that helps giovanni, like Bianca for Psychic Terrain, or simply another kanto damage dealer.

[vestal echo]

mb melony lapras for def buff?

[grand steppe]

Melony can inflict Sleep if you want more turns.

[vestal echo]

ima try that fast

[north crown]

would've been better if you chose any spdef debuffer but aight

[vestal echo]

survieved first sync with lapras, but died on 2nd, with enemy on 50%. ima try with may latios instead

[full mesa]

I'm using the sync nuke grid from #1009587872342478908

[vestal echo]

it worked with latios (Y)

i now have boss left only

[grand steppe]

you need to know sleep order to sleep effectively

[vestal echo]

yeah ur right, im to bad for it yet, its close mt 1 month only here xd

[vestal echo]

thats way cleaner than mine tho

[grand steppe]

Noticed how Lapras did Sing on Mid > Left > Mid > Right.

That's the order in which the enemy team queues.

[vestal echo]

y one at time

leftovers for alder

[grand steppe]

And the important thing is to not immediately queue again with Lapras, because she is the one inflicting sleep

well ssDiantha is right there.

[vestal echo]

shes 1/5 tho

[grand steppe]

...and?

she's still incredible

[vestal echo]

who should i team her with then

[grand steppe]

what are your other rocks?

[vestal echo]

not many tho

[grand steppe]

Olivia is fine.

Even Roark.

Next pick a physical support

it's mainly for Olivia, since diantha can buff herself

[vestal echo]

oliva only lv100 cant upp her yet, i with hop zama and raichu and see if diantha can handle her self

[grand steppe]

bring a special def or speed buffer in that case

instead of raichu

It doesn't really matter that she's lv 100

[slim prawn]

@undone ether

Pls reply when you are free

[silver dirge]

What do you need help with?

[slim prawn]

I can't decide who to choose as round two

[silver dirge]

What are your teams?

[vestal echo]

doesnt work, the firestorm can nearly kill my team and then sync a bit after and im dead

[grand steppe]

Did you sync with Diantha first and save her trianer move for post-sync?

[slim prawn]

Arch

[silver dirge]

Hard mode right? Lana can buff your defense, so do that for round 2 vs a physical stage

[vestal echo]

yes, i nearly had my 3rd sync off but then rock ran out >_> and died

[slim prawn]

You mean going for marshal

[grand steppe]

you made sure to switch from spe to phys params, yes?

like turning off physical dmg reduction

[silver dirge]

Yes

[vestal echo]

y

[grand steppe]

well, you should really use 2x rock types when utilizing zone

I bet you can KO the left side after your 1st sync

also, with Diantha you have to make sure you don't set Rock Zone as the 1st move in a sync cycle

you want to do it on turn 2 of each cycle

[vestal echo]

k i retry

[slim prawn]

Who to replace for lana

I need 8 more types

[grand steppe]

replace with a support that of a type you need

[vestal echo]

idk, i give up for today

[slim prawn]

I will show marshal team

[north crown]

where's the synergy?

[slim prawn]

Doing for type medal

[mellow linden]

Eh, it probably is fine for Hard Mode

Just keep in mind that when the time comes for Master Mode you’ll definitely wanna make adjustments

[grand steppe]

what's the team
ssDiantha + hop + ?

[slim prawn]

I can't find a way to kill marshal on round two

[north crown]

oh ofc you can't kill with annimay on r2

[mellow linden]

You could just try and beat someone else on round 2

[north crown]

or use giovanni

[mellow linden]

Since it’s Hard Mode it shouldn’t be a big issue

[silver dirge]

They've got a lot of types to do, iirc like 10 this week so pretty tight in terms of teams

[mellow linden]

And yeah, can always just do one type overlap unless this is your 2nd week on type medal and you can’t afford an overlap

[silver dirge]

It is 2nd week

[north crown]

what's their cs plan looking like?

[silver dirge]

Hold on let me

[mellow linden]

Ah, then yeah, depending on the teams it might be better to pick someone else for round 2

[silver dirge]

#1009554906568462476 message Around here

[slim prawn]

Should I catlyn or shauntaul

[north crown]

what was r1

[slim prawn]

Grimsly

[north crown]

also what are the remaining types?

nvm

Fire, Grass, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon
... wow you left most of the though ones here

[mellow linden]

The team up against Caitlin likely has a better shot at round 2 since it’s on-typing with Zone

[north crown]

Marshal: McTorchic/Hariyama/Latias
Shauntal: Araquanid/Sandslash/Charizard
Caitlin: Seviper/Spectier/Mewtwo
Alder: Acerola/Drake/Olivia
copypasta

[slim prawn]

Bug and grass done with grimsly

[north crown]

bro there's already another fire type

you can totally replace torchic

[slim prawn]

But who

[north crown]

bulkier spatk supp

which would be almost anyone, literally

just not cheryl, unless you put brawly as main tank

[mellow linden]

Am I correct in assuming you have NC Blue?

[north crown]

iirc they used him alr

[silver dirge]

[This](#1009554906568462476 message) was the intended gameplan if it helps

[north crown]

like a dumba-

[mellow linden]

Can you not

[north crown]

sry just got off from a game night

energy still ozzing out apparently

you should be fine

worst case scenario, pull out serena

[slim prawn]

You mean zygarde

Still pulling on it

[north crown]

hold on.. why did someone recommend SSRed when he's only at 1/5?

[silver dirge]

Hard mode

[north crown]

but still

[mellow linden]

Diantha + Sabrina + Brawly might work

[north crown]

1. the helper alr introduced torchic
2. cyrus and ghetsis are right there for offtyping purposes

[mellow linden]

And just on-type Marshal

[north crown]

1/5 diantha is basically fairy ssred, and I can tell you from experience that she isn't bad, especially on cs hard mode

[silver dirge]

Oh, I think they were trying to use Shauntal's sun to do damage with SS Red. But I'm not too sure

[mellow linden]

She’ll probably crush Hard Mode Marshal, tbh

[north crown]

the "planned" team was, and I quote: "Lana, SSRed, Sandslash"

[silver dirge]

Lana was there because she has Group Fire Guard

[silver dirge]

Yea, shauntal does sunny day. But that would be pretty late into battle I think

[slim prawn]

I don't have fire type entered to medal because silver didn't survive enough for me to win

[mellow linden]

Well you have SS Red on a different team anyways

So the Fire overlap still exists either way

[north crown]

I'm just worried about survivability for that Shauntal team

[slim prawn]

So was forced to replace him with last week used hop and surskit replace by guzma

[mellow linden]

Could just slap MistyDuck on the team instead of Lana since there aren’t relevant offensive buffs from the Support anyways

[north crown]

no ground type:

[mellow linden]

Naomi is Ground tho

[slim prawn]

Lana typing i already entered both types

[mellow linden]

Oh, if Water’s already been done then you can run like Falkner or something

Instead of Lana

[north crown]

hold on Naomi is in the plans?

[mellow linden]

…Yes

[slim prawn]

Ground type

[mellow linden]

Btw, a Sync Pair only contributes the type that their Sync Move starts the fight as to the type medal

So Lana only contributes Water

[north crown]

oh that was the sandslash

I was assuming support sandslash due to gauge issues with Naomi

[mellow linden]

I mean, even if it were it’d still be Ground

[north crown]

but you were suggesting swtiching a pair to swimisty.. oh you probably meant Lana

[mellow linden]

Yes

Since Lana wouldn’t have been giving relevant offensive buffs anyways

[north crown]

ok yeah SwiMisty is basically immortal if she gets sync every cycle

[mellow linden]

But since Water’s apparently been done already they can just do Falkner or something

[north crown]

yeah hyper offensive is one of the best strats to use for hard mode

[slim prawn]

5 more types left

[slim prawn]

Round two done on catlyn

[nocturne pawn]

shauntal only casts sunny day post sync so it shouldnt be that problematic

[north crown]

seems like the rest of the params are jokes

[onyx ice]

I like the sync quick parameter, it's quite unlikely that I don't have any team that can deal with it

[vestal echo]

ss diant + hop and then i tried diffrent 3rds

but my diant is not exed so ult dont hit all either

[onyx ice]

Used the sync quick parameter against the champion too

[grand steppe]

Is Hop ex?

[vestal echo]

no sadly

[grand steppe]

Okay, well just sync the left side then as the 1st target.

[vestal echo]

i used the parameter of special dmg reduction

[grand steppe]

I can do a recording, but mine is ex, so it will be higher dmg

In order to deny left, you want to delay your sync, by queueing other moves before your sync.

[vestal echo]

wait mb i can do it by focus left first

i nearly did it but hop didnt get any Mp refreshes

so if i get em mb i suceed

[grand steppe]

so you cleared it or?

[vestal echo]

wow yes

just now 😄

but it was by a super small margain

29 days of play and achieved 12,5k CS 😮

[grand steppe]

Roark is pretty busted with diantha

[vestal echo]

i critted on the aoe twice

but didnt crit on my sync tho

but that last crit saved me

[grand steppe]

This is just Head Smash before sync.

[vestal echo]

80 cham spirits now

hop require his own spirits like mewtwo etc right?

[silver dirge]

Yes

[grand steppe]

Yes.

All the Leg.Adv. units have event-items.

[vestal echo]

Ty. I save my spirits for nxt week then i Can do 2🙏

[wide adder]

halfsync time. which one guys?

rest of box (did the ground squad r1 of naomi, ingo, courtney)

[tired sleet]

Event Victor is pretty good for half sync clears from my experience

[wide adder]

felt weird using something other than ingo for my rock team had to pull out annihan again for that juicy SEUN olivia sync

[fiery canopy]

hmmm should i just offtype shauntal

[undone ether]

With rain? Whynot?

[fiery canopy]

i did nc red + irida so hail weeee

[willow quiver]

can anyone help me do 2,5 k csmm?
ive done 2k kalos csmm in the past so should be doable

This is my hard mode team for reference

[old orchid]

You can reuse your hard mode teams for MM

But for Shauntal team, you should use Naomi and Sabrina instead of Hop and Courtney

[willow quiver]

well, im sending it here so improvements could be made from that teams

[old orchid]

What move level is your NC Red?

[willow quiver]

1/5

[old orchid]

Ah i didnt notice him in the tracker

[willow quiver]

all my limits are still 1/5

[old orchid]

His team is okay

Okay, your teams are good enough, besides the Shauntal team i mentioned some improvement above

[willow quiver]

well i have many spare amazing units that i could have used like lucian ex

nc blue too

[old orchid]

Oh right, use NC Blue in Naomi's team

You can use Lucian in NC Red's team, by replacing Serena

[willow quiver]

is the round order here is the best for me or should changes be made?

[old orchid]

Just be careful with R2

[willow quiver]

well yeah, i can twoshot mid in r2 but didnt know for mm

[old orchid]

I believe Giovanni team can take down Caitlin pre sync

You can adjust your team to go for post sync if you are not confident

[willow quiver]

well lemme do shauntal first now

is it recommended using offensive or str param first?

[old orchid]

Since you aim to go pre sync, try the pre sync set in the pins

[willow quiver]

ugh finally they stopped spamming hypnosis and confuse ray

onto caitlin!

yosh caitlin was also pretty easy

[willow quiver]

FINALLY!
Alder do be spamming hyperbeam and side earthquake hurts so much so i changed Tina to SS Blue

Glad 1/5 Paulo is still usable

[toxic cobalt]

Paulo without tina

[willow quiver]

Flareon is too squishy

@old orchid thanks for suggestions!

[old orchid]

[undone ether]

Shes best for hp/def params.

[willow quiver]

I see, well i dont think Paulo is the suited for longer battle though.

[slim prawn]

Hey

Should I do it

Round 4

[grand steppe]

that's only 1 medal

or is this week 1

[slim prawn]

Week 2

[grand steppe]

well then you messed up

you needed 9 types minimum in each week

[undone ether]

that is kinda bad.

[grand steppe]

Oh, so it only displays lasts week's

okay then your fine

[undone ether]

who else is your VS Alder team?

you can definitely use Acerola in place of SS Red tbh.

[pearl shale]

Any tips for Master Mode newbies?

[slim prawn]

This

[undone ether]

yeah

use Acerola

[pearl shale]

Like what advantages are recommended for master mode

[undone ether]

you already used a Fire-type

[undone ether]

Depends on your roster.

and depends on your playstyle.

[slim prawn]

I did torchic

[undone ether]

use acerola then 😮

Acerola has Sandstorm to counter

[pearl shale]

I never beaten a master stage, do they lock your already used Trainers?

[undone ether]

Sunny day

[slim prawn]

Who for champion

[undone ether]

yes

[undone ether]

Champion is Alder.

[pearl shale]

Well damn yea nah this is end game territory

[undone ether]

he spams Hyper Beam

[pearl shale]

Ima need a few months

[undone ether]

Did you use NC Red already? @slim prawn

[pearl shale]

I havent beaten a stage

Cuz im overwhelmed on what advantages to use

[slim prawn]

Still saved

[nocturne pawn]

there are example parameters in pins

[grand steppe]

That's what we're asking you, who do you plan on using?

It needs to include 1 rock-type.

[slim prawn]

Definitely need Olivia and drake

[grand steppe]

and dragon

[undone ether]

if SS Red dies or Sunny Day was taking you out

you can change to Acerola/Lana/Naomi

then you can use NC Red/Drake/Rock-type (Roxanne i guess)

[grand steppe]

It's okay to start out small, if you've unlocked master mode you can do 800 points per stage, you don't have to go guns blazing into 2.5k right away.

[undone ether]

NC Red will auto clear it, with speed buffs from Roxanne.

Drake is there to put SP.DEF on the team

and gauge too

[slim prawn]

Anyways let's finish round 4

[undone ether]

gl.

if it still doesnt work

You can do Cyrus / May / Roxanne

then you'd have to use a Ground-type against Alder

[grand steppe]

Yes they do, even on the regular difficulty. If you need help let us know.

[pearl shale]

Got'chu homie

[slim prawn]

Which may I have both may still unused

[undone ether]

the only May that can make it Rain 😮

[slim prawn]

Is using 3 ground a good idea

[undone ether]

you might miss a a type medal though 😭

which ground-types even?

[slim prawn]

How

Rock and dragon in champion and ground here fills the medal

[undone ether]

Naomi + Acerola should be able to finish up against Round4

[grand steppe]

If you have nc Red in the back-burner there's no reason to worry much

just do the stage and tell us if you died / succeeded

[undone ether]

^

If you want

[slim prawn]

Saving nc red for champion

[undone ether]

you can run Drake + Naomi + Acerola

THen you can do double Supports on Alder

Lana + Roxanne + NC Red

wait a sec

did you have SS Blue?

if you do, you can trade Lana for SS Blue

[slim prawn]

Sadly I don't have

[undone ether]

Anyone that can buff SP.DEF would be good i guess.

anyways

try the teams that we mentioned for R4 Shauntal

[slim prawn]

Naomi fails because of this

[valid ivy]

can cmarnie lucian skyla halfsync

[toxic cobalt]

This doens't do much

[valid ivy]

i dont have any good on typers for half sync

[toxic cobalt]

CMarnie is a good off-typer for half sync

[valid ivy]

do i have to protect to survive sync with postsync grid

[undone ether]

Then do Cyrus / May / Roxanne

i'm assuming your roxanne is at least a 4star now right? D:

[toxic cobalt]

Depends who you are fighting and a bunch of other things

[undone ether]

maybe gridded for SP.DEF as well?

[toxic cobalt]

If it's a physical sync Skyla should get everyone to +6 and you should be fine

[undone ether]

You can also do Drake as well replacing Cyrus

[slim prawn]

If then only ground type remains

[undone ether]

you can do Acerola with NC Red

then all you need is a tank

anyone with SPDEF and Speed

[valid ivy]

whos a good support for an sc steven and bp val setup nuke

[silver dirge]

Anything physical to buff Val faster

Sonia Hilbert Aaron Shauna

[valid ivy]

ok ty

holy shit why do i keep missing tackle at +2 evasiveness

[slim prawn]

Which order to target

[valid ivy]

yea u were right, actually i did presync and i was still fine lmao

[undone ether]

Any support o o then acerola

Lana or drake works

[fiery canopy]

hmm diantha is Not Really Working for marshal

[slim prawn]

Round 4

[undone ether]

Which team did you use?

Use cyrus team once then use spatial rend kr water pulse first

For may she needs to time her rain dance

Then roxanne needs to buff up

Special attack and speed

If you have sync grid, she should get barricade buddies iirc

Sync with may

[slim prawn]

This was the only way

[undone ether]

Good job

But youre missing a dragon type and ground type

[slim prawn]

Dragon and ground left

[slim prawn]

On champion

[undone ether]

Drake + any ground + NC Red

[slim prawn]

What to choose

[undone ether]

4th one

Sync with nc red

[keen jasper]

1st one is the most neutral

[slim prawn]

Does it apply to opponent

[undone ether]

From what ive seen

[keen jasper]

4th one doesn't matter for the enemy if you use the parameter

[undone ether]

Nc red can gl through stuff

[slim prawn]

Ok

[undone ether]

Piercing blows mode onthink

Tbh he just does a lot of damage regardless

[slim prawn]

Finished at the end

[slim prawn]

Thanks for helping me from start to end

[keen jasper]

Now comes the hard part (not really, this CS is hella easy)

[undone ether]

Gj

You can reset with stronger teams.

Full powered NC Red lets go

[slim prawn]

Drake was literally the tank

He. Took damages very well while I was killing alder one by one

[grand trout]

Has anyone tried hau for shauntal

[fiery canopy]

woooooo my first 12.5k

[swift swan]

[trail smelt]

Noice

[valid ivy]

i was struggling for the champ using ss diantha and i could not figure out why but i almost beat it so i checked my params

and then i realized i had phys damage reduction 💀

and still almost won

12.5k tho

[toxic cobalt]

Well, looks like none of your needed types are the weakness ones, so you're going to need to find them in supports

[lone crypt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009554906568462476/1160514338973564939/SyncPairsTracker.png

Can i run some 2500+ Master Modes with these? I'd love some help on the setup for each round for this week

[silver dirge]

Looks like a pretty good roster, do you have any teams planned as a starting point?

[lone crypt]

nope, first time tackling master mode

[silver dirge]

Ah I see, in that case I'd have a look at the pins for some recommended presets first

Get a quick understanding of what it means to pre-sync, post-sync or poison stall

[verbal karma]

Aight, who's the least dangerous for R2 of this week's CS?

[silver dirge]

Depends on your teams

[verbal karma]

Damn...that only makes it more difficult for me to decide

[silver dirge]

It doesn't really matter, throw your strongest team at Round 2 and you'll be fine. Opponent doesn't make much of a difference

[verbal karma]

Well, Bug and Ground are the ones I am the least confident in

[silver dirge]

Burgh can presync bug with ease

Naomi can handle ground

[verbal karma]

are you sure? he seems kinda...weak...

[keen jasper]

I was able to 4k pts. Siebold with Burgh as my main nuker

[silver dirge]

Expanded Burgh is a great unit

You just need to run the right partners

Do you have SS Morty or SS Brendan?

[verbal karma]

I only have the latter

[silver dirge]

That's one of Burgh's perfect partners

Burgh + SS Brendan + Sun Setter will breeze through it

Just make sure you grid Burgh right

[verbal karma]

Like this?

[silver dirge]

No, you don't need OAR at all Brendan's there

One sec

This is my preferred grid

It assumes 3/5 Brendan to max crit, what move level is yours?

And EX or not?

[verbal karma]

Brendan is 3/5 and EX'd

[silver dirge]

Okay that's perfect. Grid him so he can max Burgh's crit, and go for the EX support sync first. I'd also pick up adrenaline so you don't need to worry about quad queue

Have your sun setter sunny day whenever Burgh is ready to start attacking, and before he syncs (2nd sync), it should be a really easy clear

[verbal karma]

...wait, would Burgh even be able to do the 2nd sync presync under the R2 parameters?

[silver dirge]

This is for round 2? I thought you said you weren't confident with these so you'd do something else for R2

That's fine though we'll make some adjustments, Burgh can still nuke for R2

[verbal karma]

Oh, I thought you were suggesting an R2 team

Nevermind then

[silver dirge]

Nah I was getting you set for your vs Grimsley team

[verbal karma]

Who would be good for R2 then?

[silver dirge]

What are your strongest damage dealers?

oh, BP Val can do fairy

pre sync

[verbal karma]

Ghost: SSR Cynthia, maybe Anni Lillie?
Fairy: Mina, maybe Diantha?, apparently BP Valerie as well?
Ground: I don't know...maybe Naomi?

Better visibility

[silver dirge]

SSR Cynthia + Anni Lillie can easily do R2

So can BP Val

What are you more confident with?

[verbal karma]

I don't know tbh

[silver dirge]

What's Lillie's move level?

[verbal karma]

SSR Cynthia + Anni Lillie sounds more like a R1 team because of the heavy MG usage, tho

[verbal karma]

haha, ha
one

[silver dirge]

And Cynthia?

[verbal karma]

3

[silver dirge]

cynthia can nuke too

[silver dirge]

This is fair enough, you can try BP Val then

She just needs a physical support, bring a defense debuffer

[verbal karma]

BP Val is also only 1/5

[silver dirge]

Ah

No 4* candies?

[verbal karma]

Nope

[silver dirge]

SSR Cynthia it is then

Don't need to bring lillie

Cynthia + Lucian + Support should be able to nuke mid

[verbal karma]

...Lucian is also only 1/5 iirc

[silver dirge]

No prob, he's just there to -SpDef

[verbal karma]

Ah, shoot, dunno if I should R1 Grimsley and R3 Marshal or R1 Marshal and R3 Grimsley...

At least R2 and R4 seem to be set in stone

[silver dirge]

This one's really easy, Cynthia doesn't even need to set up any multipliers

[silver dirge]

Doesn't really matter, R3 will help against both of them so decide between your teams instead. Whoever needs the MGA more, put them R1

[undone ether]

Hes strong

Problem with grimsley is that he spams snarl a lot

[silver dirge]

It won't matter, none of the Unovan stages are bulky. -1 or 2 sp attack will be very inconsequential

plus 2 sync cycles is already too long of a time, it'll probably be done and dusted earlier

[verbal karma]

hmm...well, whoever needs Move Gauge more will depend on what the Fairy team is gonna be against Marshal...

The fairy types

[undone ether]

U used uh pal serena and pal dawn with NC Blue o.o

Thing is, pal serena is 3/5 for me

[verbal karma]

I don't have NC Blue, though

[undone ether]

Anyone that can sp.atk up and crit for both

[silver dirge]

I don't see how that's helpful if their Pal Serena is not 3/5 and they don't have NC Blue

[formal vigil]

Maybe try diantha pal dawn and any special attack speed buffer

[silver dirge]

This should work, Mina is also a decent option

[undone ether]

Bp valerie can work too

[formal vigil]

She could work if she wasn't 1/5

[undone ether]

But no 4strike candies?

Oof

[keen jasper]

You only need 2 4* strike candies

[silver dirge]

They don't have any

[undone ether]

Doesnt pal dawn have sync nukes at 2/5?

[silver dirge]

Sure, except their's is 1/5

[formal vigil]

2/5 is just utility irrc

[silver dirge]

Oh Dawn

not serena

[old orchid]

she never has good nuke

[silver dirge]

No sync stuff at 2/5 anyway

[undone ether]

Time to Mina then ooof.

[silver dirge]

Mina works. iirc nov helped them do a Mina clear on Kalos or something, and Unova is nothing compared to that

[formal vigil]

Especially since their is ex

[undone ether]

Just need a good tank and crits

[silver dirge]

oh sweet then

[undone ether]

btw

which Pasio Champion Stadiums we've gotten? Marnie, Serena, Red and Hop right? did i miss Calem?

[minor mauve]

No calem yet

[main crow]

Bug type CS

We'll finally get our first ever Bugscy rerun

[grand crater]

i still cant beat shauntal!!

[onyx ice]

Ground I think is the least f2p friendly type

[manic kiln]

Hapu and Clay are fun tho

[grand crater]

real

most of the ground sync pairs i have aren't nearly strong enough

[toxic cobalt]

You can run Clay with Hop and a speedster

Or 3/5 Hilbert

[verbal karma]

hmm...if I go with Mina for Marshal, then...hmm...I still don't know if the Mina team would be MG hungry or not...

[mellow linden]

Don't you have a 3/5+ Sonia?

[verbal karma]

I do

[silver dirge]

What's the team? You can always give it a shot on a random stage

[verbal karma]

I am mainly trying to decide who to pick for R1

Marshal or Grimsley

[mellow linden]

The only round parameter that has any significant impact is round 2. Plan round 2 before anything else and then don't worry about the round parameters beyond "hey, this parameter helps my usual team anyways"

[grand crater]

shauntal is still unbeatable

almost all the tries the support gengars use hypnosis almost immediately or on the second turn

[toxic cobalt]

You can still use trainer moves when asleep

Who is your tank?

[grand crater]

currently still trying to figure out units atm

but for now im running 1/5 sabrina, 1/5 naomi and 1/5 acerola

[verbal karma]

I mean, I already have Round 2 and 4 planned out already

it's Round 1 and 3 that I have trouble planning out

[toxic cobalt]

Mmm I see, none of them are fantastic tanks

[silver dirge]

Don't get stuck on the round params, they're largely inconsequential apart from giving your team a little boost. The only noteworthy one is half sync, and maybe <x moves> are stronger

[toxic cobalt]

1/5 Naomi is a bit rough

[grand crater]

just got bertha from a ticket scout

do you think she's a good enough tank

[toxic cobalt]

Also not the best tank

[mellow linden]

Don't worry about those, the only major thing with them is that Reflect at the start messes with quadqueue

Which is easily worked around without needing to go out of your way to do so

[toxic cobalt]

No other ground move units? SS Serena? May?

[grand crater]

no serena , no may either

[trail smelt]

1/5 Naomi? Huh

[mellow linden]

Wait, why is your Naomi 1/5? Did you start on the last day of her event or something?

[grand crater]

yes / i didn't know move levels existed at that time

[mellow linden]

Oof

[toxic cobalt]

Just like, poison them

[grand crater]

i don't think i have any poison units either

[toxic cobalt]

you have Koga

[mellow linden]

Koga, Lucy, Janine

[toxic cobalt]

Not Janine but yes

[mellow linden]

All should be easily accessible. Koga is free, Janine is a gacha 3-star, Lucy is a gacha 4-star

[mellow linden]

I was figuring Venom Drench might be handy, but fair enough if it's just for Bad Poison

[toxic cobalt]

Ah yes, I was thinking she does poison but it isn't bad

[grand crater]

thank you both

[verbal karma]

hmm...hold on, I think I know how to make my decision

I need to find good team mates for my Mina team against Marshal

then I would know if my Mina team has someone with Adrenaline or not

[nocturne pawn]

id say lucian but he also does spdef drops so hes probably not the best one

[verbal karma]

actually, I was told to use Lucian for my SSR Cynthia team already

[silver dirge]

If SSR Cynthia is EX'd you can forego Lucian, she still OHKO's mid without the multiplier lol. Unova is like that

[verbal karma]

oh

[formal vigil]

Why Lucian for mina team?

[silver dirge]

Attack debuffs, but Mina can do that herself tbh
