Champion Stadium

[main crow]

Aight bet

[left storm]

3k 2v3 dark without ccalem

[main crow]

I have him but that 3k with Akari/MR is still easy

[left storm]

Right I always forget she gets potion

And Caitlin hits like a wet noodle

+100 points just from "no support"

[silver dirge]

Caitlin when she goes for stored power with 0 stat buffs turn 1

[main crow]

62 damage

[left storm]

Meanwhile, hyper beam does 1300 with -6 spa

[calm marsh]

13/18

5 more and i finish NC Red soloes all Unova Champion Stadium

[silver dirge]

I think Rafa wanted a recording of it if you've got one

[calm marsh]

Dont worry, i always record my solo run

But i am lazy to edit it so …….

[grand steppe]

updated cs list

[grand trout]

Yay ice will repeat

I'll use hala two weeks from now

[mellow linden]

Half-Sync is easily my least favorite round parameter, but this is straight up false. Pre-Syncing on a half-Sync round is dependent on the strength of the team, there is zero RNG requirement outside of whatever bare minimum you’d need in general (MP refresh on buffs, not getting an unlucky flinch or whatever, etc.). If you have a team that nukes the center and/or entire enemy team on their 1st Sync Move then you can pre-Sync on a half-Sync round easily, for example.

It’s also plenty doable to post-Sync on a half-Sync round, you just need to treat it as a regular post-Sync fight.

[main lake]

post sync is the easier playstyle that almost doesn't care what the round parameters are at all

[left storm]

Half sync often makes opponent's sync easier to tank as they have less ramped damage or buffs going on

[fluid vessel]

• It's Unova lol

They don't do a lot of damage

[steel kelp]

This

[left storm]

Yeah when we had those 2 weeks in a row with it in Kalos

[steel kelp]

Don’t see red anytime you see half sync

[left storm]

It was definitely more annoying

[steel kelp]

Would you stress about half sync on kanto

[fluid vessel]

Also let's be real, half sync and permanent field are almost the only 2 parameters with an actual Impact in a stage

[steel kelp]

Everything else is such a nonfactor

[fluid vessel]

The other 2 maaaaybe but definitely more niche parameters with somewhat of an Impact are better debuffs and better statuses

[left storm]

Ehhh, secondary effects are huge too

Flinches, statuses or stat drops from moves being double likely can be very deciding

[lunar meadow]

Half sync is the one that makes enemies much more challenging.

Permanent field effects and high chance for secondary effects mostly just help the player

[fluid vessel]

Half sync mean you can kill enemies in 2 turn cycles

1 if you do ramping

[keen jasper]

Half sync is free 250 pts. from having -1 and -2 sync CD parameters

[lunar meadow]

I hate half-sync 🤷‍♂️

[keen jasper]

I love it, I can do cheese strats on a whole other level

[nocturne pawn]

i took off vigilance and gave redlax adrenaline

[keen jasper]

I can use half MP and half HP

[nocturne pawn]

then i realized he has grid adrenaline which i took

which means i wasted like 10 deluxe cookies

[keen jasper]

[nocturne pawn]

but now i dont wanna change it cuz adrenaline is still good anyway

[keen jasper]

Seriously, half sync can make you use parameters that you've never used before

And it's fucking awesome

[marsh crater]

Nah my galar trio always pre sync a half sync stage. B fiery wrath is broken

[dawn gull]

12k points hell yea (first time)

[silver dirge]

Nice!

[dawn gull]

Rd4 was pure brutality

Nc red just slaughtered her

[old orchid]

congrats , next time you should post your results in #1010274591601598555

[dawn gull]

Ohh sorry

I didnt knew tht channel existed

[silver dirge]

you can make a thread for yourself and update it whenever you want to with your clears

[dawn gull]

I'll do tht next time , srry

[wide adder]

No hs1? fr tho I don’t see much need of adrenaline on him compared to hs, tbh.

Cause hs1 cuts first sync cycle by a turn with two tms, without any extra help. So my redlax has had hs1 for over a year basically pretty sure

Was the first unit I ever gave hs lucky to

[nocturne pawn]

i use him with other accel units and his passives can stop quad which was the logic but i forgot he has grid adrenaline so lol

[wide adder]

I usually use mine with turn 3 stage ending nukes the most. Since it’s not often that the enemy would survive a seun big strike nuke anyways. Unless I’m using a dps that has like a 4mg big damage or bmove nuke I don’t find myself syncing with my ex redlax often

Just tend to find it overkill to support sync if I can just oneshot most cs stages with a first sync

the fact he somewhat relies on an ontype dps is prob the main thing that balances him

[grand trout]

Lol Serena's hypnosis denies turn move a ton

Grimsley can't do SHIT

[nocturne pawn]

and thats why everything has lessen sleep 9

[grand trout]

He still has that

It's about timing

Typically people are advised to start at at least 4200 points total for a first MM clear and move up

#1009554906568462476 message this explains the common params used for 850 point clears and why they provide little difficulty increase compared to usual cs

[fluid vessel]

I mean, just by playing defensively you can get more than that.

[tired sleet]

Definitely, but 4200 is very easy for a beginner to beat

[fiery canopy]

dunno who to use for marshal bc my best offtyping pairs r gonna needed Elsewhere and my poison units are. awful of course

[old orchid]

You can Toxic stalling just fine

[fluid vessel]

[grand trout]

Man i wanted to use Bruno for champion

Pity the params are special moves boosted and have to use wally to take advantage of it

[steel kelp]

You don’t have to

[tired sleet]

Fighting Weak Iris has the 2nd lowest HP of all CS stages, so it shouldn’t matter much

[toxic cobalt]

More Koga slander

[swift swan]

Not even EX can save him from being underappreciated

[paper summit]

it was funny seeing him hit for 15k or so with Venoshock today

I didn't even get to 2nd sync

Disclaimer: NC Blue was the support

[versed meteor]

Recorded it, Sorry i forgot to post the video, would do that in like 18 hrs

[fluid vessel]

No problem

[lost gulch]

is grimsley high in sp def?

[formal vigil]

No he has normal base spdef

[lost gulch]

oh

was trying out EX roled zerena

but her dmg seems to be underperforming than expected

on grimsley

[dusty yarrow]

he does have a high base HP tho

[formal vigil]

Did you put special damage reduction 8 on or forget to restrain?

[steel kelp]

Why restrain

[formal vigil]

Zerena has restrain multipliers

[lost gulch]

i did put restrain

special dmg reduction off too

i thought it would be a straight fast ko for sides in the nuke

[silver dirge]

The Supp EX buff doesn't apply to the first sync, only after the sync

So your first sync before and after rolex should be pretty comparable

[lost gulch]

yea i know

even after that

the dmg

wise

it needed 2 zerena syncs+ 1 dps to clear the stage

[silver dirge]

Huh that sounds not-right

Oh grimsley has higher HP than usual

[dusty yarrow]

yeah its 4 instead of the standard 2.4

[lost gulch]

oh

[dusty yarrow]

on the weird note.... Didn't know Magneton has its base Attacks lowered

[silver dirge]

Are you running her with Lucas btw?

[silver dirge]

Well damn that's interesting. Why they nerfing him like that

[lost gulch]

no

just ss cynthia and cynthia lodge

[silver dirge]

Ah okay, that should make sense then Grimsley's a lil bulky

[lost gulch]

oic

[plush tangle]

3 gauge move before sync

[split plank]

may i get some help pls?

[old orchid]

Which types you havent filled in the type medal yet?

You can see the progress in the Piece button at the bottom

[split plank]

how to get pieces!

by battling with the types?

but I just started 7 days ago , i wasn't able to get any pieces

[silver dirge]

Correct, you can see the pieces at the bottom like Gakon said

[silver dirge]

Is this your 2nd time doing CS btw? I might be missing something but you're on the champion stage and it says 0/18 pieces

[split plank]

yeah second time

[silver dirge]

Ah okay that makes sense I think, can you click on the 0/18 and send a screenshot of the types?

[silver dirge]

Cool, unfortunately you won't be able to get all the types this week, but you should be able to do it by next week. For your current team, do you have any pairs that can help buff Wally faster?

[split plank]

Support or techs ?

[mellow linden]

Supports

[silver dirge]

Ideally supports, since they can also tank

[mellow linden]

“Buff faster” refers to Supports 99.9% of the time

[split plank]

idk why but I can't use my favs

[mellow linden]

Wdym

[split plank]

like xerneas

or blastoise

[mellow linden]

You can’t use a Sync Pair you used in a previous fight, so if you used Sycamore or SS Blue in a different fight that’d be why

[split plank]

oh

now what to do pls tell

kindly

[silver dirge]

You can probably get away with Hop and Close Combat Wally I think, even though they debuff attack

For the 3rd, do you have Kukui? Or Colress

Techs

[split plank]

colress

yes

[split plank]

hop is locked

[split plank]

see

[mellow linden]

That menu doesn’t show who’s unavailable for use

[split plank]

[silver dirge]

Ah

How about Lt Surge/Raichu?

[split plank]

yes i have

that

[silver dirge]

Okay, try Lt Surge + colress + Wally

[split plank]

ok ty

I'll inform u if i succeed

[silver dirge]

Sync with Wally & then Close Combat, Colress just debuffs defense and Lt Surge tanks/buffs

[split plank]

tried but couldn't, guess I've to get stronger and try again next week

thanks for helping tho

Specially Arch

[silver dirge]

No worries :) You can have a read of #1010307000346878062 in case you aren't familiar with triple queuing

[nocturne pawn]

do you have bea

[silver dirge]

There's also some other pretty useful information there

[split plank]

ok

[silver dirge]

But yea if you have Bea that's a breezy clear

[nocturne pawn]

even with only +2 meteor assault just does so much

[mellow linden]

Worst case scenario just throw your strongest team at the stage and/or Poison stall so you can actually get the type medal progress

Because if you don’t beat all 5 stages you don’t get that progress

[silver dirge]

Please do actually complete the stage this week, otherwise you'll get none of the "In-progress" types here

[split plank]

ok

By using same types ?

or is there another trick ?

[mellow linden]

If you can have 1 or 2 extra types that you haven’t used yet on the team then great, otherwise don’t worry about it since you’ll only need 6 more types at most next week

[split plank]

ok

[silver dirge]

Maybe send your remaining available roster so we can have a look and suggest a team, poison stall or otherwise

[mellow linden]

Why are your 3-stars filtered out?

[split plank]

I don't use them so..

lol

[mellow linden]

Don’t ignore them

They generally range from decent to amazing

[split plank]

here

[mellow linden]

Could do a wonky Poison stall with Oak + Lucy + Skyla (or another tank instead of Skyla)

[split plank]

[mellow linden]

If you don’t wanna risk the jank for a type medal slot then replace Oak with Janine + Ariados

[silver dirge]

I'm also thinking Hydro Pump Cyrus, Winona and Support (Elesa?) might be able to do it? I'm just worried about triple queue here because that's going to be important either way I feel

[mellow linden]

Roxanne would probably work for that team, especially if she’s gridded for Trainer Move MP Refresh

She’d also get Rock on type medal

[silver dirge]

Ah true, Roxanne's great yeah

[split plank]

so janine lucy roxanne?

[silver dirge]

Give it a shot yeah, do you know how a poison stall works?

[split plank]

no

pls teach me

that

[silver dirge]

Your aim is to stall out the opponent as long as possible and get them to die to the poison/trap damage

So you're going to want to trap and poison everyone with Lucy, Janine has venom drench which debuffs everyone's Atk, Sp Atk and Speed while they're poisoned (this makes them hit less harder, so you survive longer). And replace Roxanne with Skyla from story or Swimsuit Misty if you've got her. BP Morty is another good option if viable. They're there to buff your defenses, again, to survive longer and also have potions to heal up your team when needed

[latent bison]

Easy win

[old orchid]

next time you should post your Hall of Fame or battle results in your own thread in #1010274591601598555

[grand trout]

Does cs usually cover all types?

[manic kiln]

yes 17 types in a month, except for normal

[grand trout]

How nice

With all the repeats i thought one type would be left behind

[manic kiln]

for every region, 2 e4/champ have 4 types and 3 have 3 types, 4+4+3+3+3=17, even in a month with only 4 weeks we always have 17 types

[split plank]

Tried everything i could still couldn't made it, alas! I'll try again next week.

[toxic cobalt]

Have you tried using the free 5/5 Solgaleo?

[mellow linden]

Do you not have a tank with Potions (or some other on-demand heal) available for the Poison stall team?

[split plank]

wait I'll show u my available tanks 😂

look 😅

all of the good ones gotten locked as i used them already

[mellow linden]

How close are you to a 4-star BP voucher and how many 4-star Support candies do you have?

[split plank]

Where can I check candies

[toxic cobalt]

Run Solgaleo with BP Surge and Marley

[mellow linden]

That’d probably work, yeah

[paper summit]

it should, Focus Blast is a good move and Iris HP pool on fighting weak is pretty pathetic

[split plank]

Oh

I'm the most dumb person rn

my sol is locked too

[toxic cobalt]

Who did you use Sol against?

[mellow linden]

Have you tried the Cyrus/Roxanne/Winona team?

[split plank]

Caitilin

[split plank]

no

[mellow linden]

Try that then

[toxic cobalt]

Huh, well seems like you are good at off-typing to go for Cobalt's team

[mellow linden]

Make sure Cyrus is gridded for Critical Focus

And use Spacial Rend once (restart the fight if it doesn’t crit) before you start clicking Hydro Pump with him

[dusty yarrow]

Does statistics regarding pick rates in CS exist or there's none here so far other than the discontinued tierlist pick rate from (2+2)chan & also the discontinued PoMA most pick

[split plank]

almost bruh

I beat 2 of them

[toxic cobalt]

Are you beating mid first? Are you using Winona to flinch?

[mellow linden]

Are you making sure to triple queue and focus on the center opponent 1st?

Also yeah, Winona should just be clicking Air Slash when she’s not setting up Rain

[split plank]

I started like
New world order then Study buddies Then rain dance - 2 times
Then Special rand and synch move then rain dance
Then i kept spamming sp defence all and Hydro pump

Is that the correct method?

[mellow linden]

You’re using your Rain Dances way too early

[toxic cobalt]

Don't use new world order

[mellow linden]

Your 1st set of 3 actions should be something like Roxanne’s Trainer Move/Spacial Rend/Air Slash or Winona’s Trainer Move

Restart the fight if Spacial Rend doesn’t crit, and use Rain Dance as Winona’s 2nd action

[toxic cobalt]

I use rain dance as Winona's third action

[mellow linden]

Don’t use Rain Dance again until Rain is about to expire

That works too

[split plank]

Oh lmao I'm dumb 😂

[toxic cobalt]

(Actually I sync with Winona but that won't work if she is ungridded)

[mellow linden]

But Rain is doing nothing until Cyrus actually starts clicking Hydro Pump and if you use both your Rain Dances back-to-back then you basically wasted an entire use of Rain Dance

[undone ether]

The best team i can field with Akari (1) is NC Calem (3) and Fall Caitlin (2) ?_? for like Dark Weak?

[silver dirge]

I mean I'd put another dark DD over Caitlin there but anything goes

[trail smelt]

That’s my exact team lol

Killed Caitlin easily

[left storm]

Akari is made to be dual striking

[old orchid]

every zone setter is

[left storm]

Yea

Hence why running both Caitlin and ccalem if you're running akari

[old orchid]

they always come up with weird takes anyway

[silver dirge]

[trail smelt]

Akari beats Caitlin by herself haha

No need for a second striker

[silver dirge]

Well yea you could argue Sydney can clear Caitlin, so what's the point of Akari?

Also the double supports don't do anything unless you're going for like a 4k run and really need defensive buffs from Faitlin

[left storm]

Ye, double support is fine for 3.5k or more

[left storm]

With NC calem even BP Karen clears Caitlin

[silver dirge]

Recoil units don't we love em

[versed meteor]

Still don't know why there is no cookie for standfast

[mellow linden]

Most pairs who want it get it from their grid and can afford to take it alongside the tiles they actually want

Those who don’t get it from their grid that want it either have it as a base passive (Raihan, BP Sophocles) or have a goofy recoil gimmick (Hugh)

[hazy tusk]

And then there's Furbert

[undone ether]

Noice. I could probably presync but ehhh i think 3/5 would be better for it

[silver dirge]

[manic kiln]

[rotund lagoon]

….

[keen jasper]

I'm seriously coping for perma field effects next week for my Victrier to do 4k pts. on Caitlin

[fluid vessel]

Please no, I can't during LG Weak

I barely can with 2 back to back Half Sync during LG weeks

[keen jasper]

You don't want perma field?

[swift swan]

just don't 4k

[fluid vessel]

No during LG week

It is not about 4king, is about not having time

[swift swan]

or whatever crazy challenge you're doing with CS

[fluid vessel]

[swift swan]

it's unova, 2.5k takes probably half an hour

[fluid vessel]

I Just solo with Lyra and Cyrus, and anything random that has a good chance

[keen jasper]

My ghost roster is trash, even if Unova is baby mode, I only got 3.5k pts. on Caitlin last week

[rotund lagoon]

Y’all with your high expectations

[signal garnet]

Should I use champ leaf and fight Grimsley?

[old orchid]

Is there a reason you dont want to? Because thats an obvious question

And is this master mode?

[signal garnet]

No.

And well for a reason I don't really know if I could beat the chp after using all 3 champs

I beat Shantel but already used champ red

And the champs are my strongest units

So I wanna try my best not to use the champs so that I can secure the iris fight

[tired sleet]

Considering this isn’t master mode, it should be doable without much difficulty . Just try to use as many types as possible so that you can get the medal to unlock
People have been doing CS far before the Neo Champs were released

[civic trellis]

Is there a vid of SS Hilbert vs bug weak sidney?

[mellow linden]

There’s probably one out there, but SS Hilbert would stomp Bug weak Grimsley so easily that I don’t think one is necessary

[civic trellis]

Sidney, not grimsley

Just curious bcz sidney’s prob the hardest one even harder than lucian imo

[mellow linden]

Ah, my bad, misread. Not quite as easy, but should still be doable fairly easily with SS Hilbert, wouldn’t even need much (if any) difference from your standard SS Hilbert team. I personally haven’t seen any videos for a clear of that nature, but there’s definitely at least 1 out there somewhere, I’m sure

[fluid vessel]

I mean

Modern units can solo Bug Weak Sidney, offtype

There is no way SSHilbert can't clear it, with partners, and ontype

[tired sleet]

If Bugsy can clear it with the help of allies, no reason why SS Hilbert can’t

[civic trellis]

Yeah was just asking bcz of sp atk debuffs and wise entry

[tired sleet]

Sidney doesn’t have wiseentryx2 tho

[civic trellis]

Sometimes I cant even clear bug weak with alder so I just end up off typing…. Including bug weak grimsley

[tired sleet]

Lucian has WEx2

[civic trellis]

Oh rlly? Maybe its just lucian then

[vast dome]

Ghetsis has gauge issues

[pale torrent]

these are my teams for champion stadium

any corrections/ideas?

I haven't leveled team 4 yet

[rotund lagoon]

Did you analyze the CS stages themselves yet? It helps to make teams where the damage dealers are super effective

Red team is good for the Fire weak

[pale torrent]

what I'm doing is I'm grabbing off a tier list

the best strikers I got

[rotund lagoon]

Um…

[pale torrent]

and I'm making teams w them

[rotund lagoon]

Not sure that’s the best way to go about picking the damage dealers

[sinful garden]

well in this game you want to build a team based on the stage you're trying to beat

[rotund lagoon]

You’re reading kits, right?

[pale torrent]

yes

[sinful garden]

rather than having a bunch of universal teams for everything

[rotund lagoon]

Check the type weaknesses of each stage, and things to know.

[pale torrent]

omw

[steel kelp]

This is why you don’t tunnel vision tierlists

[sinful garden]

in pins we have the things that are noteworthy for this week if you dont know what to look out for

[pale torrent]

i have two ice strikers

wulfric and pryce

[rotund lagoon]

Um…you’re missing Ghetsis.

You’re looking at the strike role too literally.

[sinful garden]

a lot of techs can work as dps nowadays

[pale torrent]

okay and ghetsis

and i have no literal dark strikers

[steel kelp]

Why are you only focusing strikers

[pale torrent]

i already did grimsley and marshal

[pale torrent]

i usually build the team around them

since theyll be the ones dealing the damage

[rotund lagoon]

We use the term damage dealers because strikes are not the only ones that deal damage.

[old orchid]

thats why reading sync pairs' kit is important

[steel kelp]

Tfw tech can outdamage strikers

[rotund lagoon]

Do you need me to plop the teambuilding guide?

[pale torrent]

sure

thx

[rotund lagoon]

Turn off ping please

+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!

[rotund lagoon]

Wait, did you do Victory Road yet????

[steel kelp]

laughs in redchu

[pale torrent]

yes

why cant the ping just stay off

[steel kelp]

Discord moment

[pale torrent]

you hit off once and it stays off until you turn it back on

[sinful garden]

because discord

[steel kelp]

Just get in the habit of doing it

[rotund lagoon]

Use the teambuilding guide to make proper teams. If you are still struggling, take a break then read the resources when you’re back.

[pale torrent]

i have to go do something rn

ill do that

i have to read more

just for college

my head hurts

[steel kelp]

Well you’re reading which is more than a lot of people

gacha games and tcg are proof people don’t read

[pale torrent]

also i was wondering

before i go

im gonna just

ask it in poma question

[fiery canopy]

having trouble w marshal, do yall think this could work

[old orchid]

you can just toxic stall

also dont ignore Koga and Roxie, they are excellent accessible options for Poison type

[steel kelp]

Everyone loves sleeping roxie

[fiery canopy]

gotcha
any specific supports yall recommend?

[steel kelp]

Whoever does what they need

[mellow linden]

Roxie + Lucy + an Attack/crit Support (order of desirability is 3/5 Sonia > 3/5 Hilbert > the rest) can beat Marshal just fine if you’re gonna run an offense-oriented clear

For Poison stall it’s the usual suspects

[fiery canopy]

alrightie
already used sonia so ill probably go with hilbert

[silver dirge]

There's also Aaron & Shauna if you've got them

But Hilbert is the best since he also buffs speed

[mellow linden]

Hop also exists if you find you need fast Defense buffs to go with the Attack + crit buffs

[fluid vessel]

I am sure you can poison/vampire stall Marshal yes

[full mesa]

Apart from Sycamore, who else can vampire stall (f2p wise)?

Or gen pool?

[silver dirge]

OG Valerie

[full mesa]

Can she? Isn't she too frail?

[silver dirge]

I'm kidding I have no idea

Never tried it. Rafa should know

seems unlikely

[old orchid]

im thinking of 3/5 Rosa

[silver dirge]

Giga Drain gaming?

[full mesa]

Again. Isn't she too frail?

Although GDrain has a nice heal.

[old orchid]

she is a good tank on special side

[dark osprey]

Rosa

Ah too slow

[full mesa]

Maybe if you max out defences and lower attacks. I'll have to try it next easy grass weak rotation.

[fluid vessel]

F2P is pretty much sycamore

There are more options but they are límited units like VMallow

There is Lodge Dawn too

[dark osprey]

BP Barry

[fiery canopy]

might use hop instead bc wow hilbert has no bulk at all

[nocturne pawn]

grid him for endurance

[grand trout]

How dangerous is it to use roark in cs

I know he's a solid unit now, I'm just worried because of the recoil esp cs units have huge hp

[rotund lagoon]

It’s not that dangerous, his recoil grid helps it a ton

Sadly not to BP Soph level, but still good.

[fiery canopy]

toxic stalling is such a drag x_x

[rotund lagoon]

I’m pretty sure stalling can be put to x3 speed after you poison/debuff

It’s legit free, anyone can do it.

[silver dirge]

I usually just rely more on the sync then use move to kill the sides, pretty breezy that way

[grand trout]

Hmm good idea

[grand trout]

Ok I'll try him out for rock next resey

[fluid vessel]

Other than Just taking some minutes, is very easy to do

[left storm]

Very easy as long as you bring a potion user

[toxic cobalt]

Clemont, sometimes rarely

[tired sleet]

Lana

[main lake]

maybe bp barry? also on grass weak

[onyx ice]

Maybe Rosa if 3/5

[nocturne pawn]

no crit buffs and garbage special attack good luck lol

also no defensive buffs either unlike lana and sycamore

[wide adder]

How hard is it for 1/5 ssn to clear ice unova?

Been procrastinating this weeks cs cause wanted to try ssn on the cs once I grab him

Haven’t decided if I’d also use irida with him or not, since he’s physical

[old orchid]

Should be easy

You can turn off both types of reduction and they still easily clear

[tired sleet]

For now, it sounds like they’re going to fix it

But yeah, ssn ontype is super easy at 1/5

I like using EX Aaron for acc and attack buffs, and since he really wants the support EX effect at 1/5

[wide adder]

Also for dark type which dark should be my buildaround probably for halfsync dark

Prob gonna be halfsyncing dark since I’m using r3 on ice most likely

[tired sleet]

Even with the sentry entry x1.5, Marnie should still be your best bet
Could use her with a supp ex or with Sidney/MR, whoever works better

[wide adder]

Even with summer n at 3/5 is she better prob?

[dark osprey]

For half sync without any entries, I guess Sidney nuke and CMarnie B move should be comfortable

Summer N needs some setup for his nuke iirc

[silver dirge]

Marnie will straight up nuke dark weak with a BMove no 2 ways about it

[rigid flint]

Truly a Champ Marnie moment

[onyx ice]

They meant for solo?, then she's pretty bad, but if you can bring a crit buffer she can tank pretty well with giga drain master healer

[fluid vessel]

For solos she has negative gauge, but should be fine in a 3vs3

[undone ether]

huh

Grimsley says it debuffs?

debuffs how?

oh.

[silver dirge]

[undone ether]

does Argenta get anything decent at 2/5? or does her qol at 3/5?

[silver dirge]

Team Sharp Entry, TM Hit & Heal, TM MPR.

[swift swan]

quite a bit, yeah

[undone ether]

hum.

[silver dirge]

Quick Tempo and Sterner stuff too iirc

[swift swan]

unbending and stalwart as well

[undone ether]

unbending could be nice.

[silver dirge]

quick cure

[swift swan]

quick cure and natural remedy is always nice qol

[undone ether]

ah wells i'll use

Registeel (3) + Solgaleo + Pal Marnie (1) for Grimsley tomorrow

i put Argenta in, but didnt think they'd hit with Speed Downs.

it'd be nice to have an EX Support though. oh wells.

Thus should do it i think

[silver dirge]

ya think?

[undone ether]

wont know until we get the

Their "things" i guess

if all else fails, i'll offtype keke

[silver dirge]

I was joking most of those teams are overkill as hell, and this is Unova

[undone ether]

Kukuku.... excellent....

[hazy tusk]

You need 3 units for a stage?

[undone ether]

Yep

[grand trout]

Oh yeah maybe i should use will for shits and kicks

...he has a nuke, right?

[silver dirge]

He does. Innate confusion + Interference Sync 5 + Sync Power Flux

his stored power damage is also very respectable, I pair with Bianca for double trouble in terrain and it's amazing

[grand trout]

Who can i pair to give him crit

Would sabrina work

Oh feck this is the marshal stage right

[silver dirge]

Yeah I was gonna say Sabrina, she's a l'il frail so may have to adjust some params/reset if they go for violence

[grand trout]

That bozo uses brick break against my reflect

[silver dirge]

Do you have any limited special supports? SC Jasmine, NC Blue, NC Bede, SS Kris?

[grand trout]

I'll just bring out the big guns and give will ncbede

[silver dirge]

Could go for one of those

[grand trout]

[silver dirge]

If you do choose to run Bianca too, that's great cos she would like some crit as well

[grand trout]

I'll do the unthinkable and use ssteven instead

[silver dirge]

Normal Forme SS Steven

[grand trout]

But instead of any forme, I'll just use try this and use him just for terrain

[wicked pebble]

How does this look for this week?

[tired sleet]

Should be pretty easy

[rotund lagoon]

Question: What’s with that CS Level 4 team?

[wicked pebble]

Eh, didn't really have much else that would add into things so I decided to bring in SS Lyra. She's part of my sun team for grass pokemon but she's self sufficient on her own to do stuff.

[rotund lagoon]

So…..that’s a grass team??

If it’s really meant to be a grass team, how come both NC Leaf and SS Morty are there? I understand if one of them is meant for a grass dealer that wants Sun like Adaman, SS Erika, etc, but that’s not exactly what I would call a grass team.

[tired sleet]

I’m assuming that’s for the fire weak stage

[dapper forum]

Who should i use to beat iris?

I dont have any useful fighting

[rotund lagoon]

Fire Weak isn’t next week

[tired sleet]

Fire weak is this week

[rotund lagoon]

Fire weak ends today (unless they’re planning to do it today……….)

[tired sleet]

So is dark, fighting, and ice

[rotund lagoon]

It’s almost three hours until reset…..

[rotund lagoon]

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[dapper forum]

Hard

[rotund lagoon]

You can use Solgaleo’s Focus Blast.

Solgaleo has Impervious and Iris will debuff you.

Luckily, MC & Solga maxes offenses in two uses, so they just need Crit buffs and gauge.

[dapper forum]

Whoops i forgot about him completely i forgot to even level him

[rotund lagoon]

It’s ok, that tends to happen with those mixed typing pairs

[rigid flint]

Ooh electric

Time to try out NC Blue with MCChu

[silver dirge]

Isn't that the week after?

[rigid flint]

Naur I looked at the wrong week 😭

[silver dirge]

yea this week's types are kinda boring ngl

[rigid flint]

Time to do funny Kimono Grimsley shenanigans

[silver dirge]

funny numbers

[rigid flint]

Indeed

Metal Burst is certainly a move of all time

[silver dirge]

oo i can try out fallister this week

[silver dirge]

oh for sure

except when the side continuously hits you instead of the mid

[rigid flint]

Oh that is tragic

Hm

Maybe I'll try out some Naomi gaming this time

[silver dirge]

I really don like Naomi ngl

[rigid flint]

Gauge might be a bit of a struggle with both Naomi and Courtney

Fair enuf tbh

[silver dirge]

Hmm do you have Ingo?

[rigid flint]

Sadly not

[silver dirge]

Who are you gonna run for sand

[rigid flint]

If I had Ingo I'd be able to maximise both sand and ground zone

[silver dirge]

yea

oh so you're just opting for GZ?

[rigid flint]

I was just gonna substitute with SS Brendan or just kick out Courtney for Bertha

[silver dirge]

in that case can just bring a support to help w gauge

yea if god forbid I ever run Naomi I just go for Bertha

and a special support

[rigid flint]

The Naomi hate is real

But tbh I get that

[silver dirge]

Maybe if she had her EX

[rigid flint]

She doesn't exactly have a lot going for her

[silver dirge]

yeaaa

[rigid flint]

She's just generic striker number 60000

Also if you wanna maximise her nuke you'd need to have a specific comp of sand and zone

[silver dirge]

Mhmm and i've got several more interesting ground options

[silver dirge]

Pre much just need Ingo if you want Courtney there

[rigid flint]

See I would use SS Gio but I've used him too much

[silver dirge]

ya that's fair, I'm planning to run Hapu this week

[rigid flint]

Laughs

[silver dirge]

Okay yeah can't blame you there

[rigid flint]

Yoo Hapu gaming??

[silver dirge]

Yessir

[rigid flint]

Maybe I'll join in and use the cheat code to support her

[silver dirge]

Brutal Clarity gaming

[rigid flint]

Aka SS Godcerola

[silver dirge]

I'm gonna have to use budget Godcerola

cos I don't have her

but it works cos Argenta buffs accuracy/defense and Hapu has Brutal Clarity/Tough Cookie

[rigid flint]

You'll get her...eventually

[silver dirge]

That I shall

[rigid flint]

Oh you use Brutal Clarity on Hapu?

I generally don't grid that

I just have all the sync stuff

[silver dirge]

I'm a DPS kinda guy like to see how high the DPS can go

Sync nukes are meh

So I'm gonna try Brtual Calrity + Dizzying power + Tough Cookie

If only we had a better accuracy debuffer

[rigid flint]

True true

[rigid flint]

Ah fair I'm the opposite

I like seeing funny sync nukes

[silver dirge]

dang

That's fair too tbh

[rigid flint]

It's the whole reason why I'd use someone like OG Hilda over Leon even before she got her grid buff

[silver dirge]

See I would too, but only for that Flare Blitz damage and self KO

[rigid flint]

😭

It hurts me physically when I see the 1k recoil

[silver dirge]

SC Steven is one of my fav pairs in the game because he enables those big DPS numbers

[silver dirge]

For real. but hey her grid makes it so much better now

And she has high HP too

[rigid flint]

SC Steven is such an insane enabler I honestly wonder what the devs were thinking

[silver dirge]

They knew what they were doing tho cos they didn't make him a support

He'd be broken if he had access to support EX

[rigid flint]

Watch them give him striker for his ex role

[silver dirge]

Definitely

[swift swan]

updated

[crystal galleon]

Couldn't complete in time... half sync presync ice took too long with rng
No one to blame but myself, anyways

[fluid vessel]

MGA

SSCyrus: 📈

[silver dirge]

hm no half sync or perma field

[crystal galleon]

We're free from half sync for once

[silver dirge]

I'm ngl half sync kinda grew on me it makes for some interesting clears

[noble plaza]

Anyone to avoid/save for certain rounds this week?

[silver dirge]

nope

[devout sluice]

Now to wait for datamine and then can prepare for next week.

[grand trout]

Chandelure gaming

@silver dirge i did it (except i used defense for stored power dps, sorry)

[trail smelt]

It completely slipped my mind that we have another Unova week haha

Ready for next week

This week I brushed off some old units like Helena and Steven who performed splendidly and even got to see WRoxanne absolutely murder everyone lol

[devout sluice]

Oh wait, I forgotten next week is the true end of Unova also.

[silver dirge]

Woo will representation!

[left storm]

Roark pilled 2v3

[left storm]

Unova really is a joke man

[nova stag]

Got my first 12.5k today! Could’ve done it awhile ago but actually sat down this morning and worked out the best modifiers

[silver dirge]

[keen jasper]

Do higher points

[main lake]

do solos

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/adaman-pokemon-no-gif-24874707

[left storm]

I usually do 3k 2v3, went for "oldies/freebies" 2.5k this week

[versed meteor]

Does dena have an allergy to perm field for unova?

[left storm]

I don't care about 3.5-4k because it doesn't let me use my faves

[silver dirge]

so based

[left storm]

2v3 3k is right now the perfect balance of difficulty and pair freedom so I'm not changing it unless I get a vibe like this week

[silver dirge]

I prefer the 3.5k+ points challenge for myself, more satisfying to me since it doesn't screw with CDR

[swift swan]

at least no half sync this time

[left storm]

Yeah I get it, I just don't like over relying on the same exact combos every time with minor changes

[silver dirge]

ya i can understand that too

I just bring out some wack story pair and try and make it work instead

[left storm]

Yeah I mean you've seen what I did this week

[silver dirge]

Mhm, pretti cool

Will is one of my fav free pairs, next to Wikstorm

[left storm]

Wikstrom I really don't like, his bulk in sword form is non existent, especially when there's Snarl involved

Presyncing with those duos was very fun

[silver dirge]

ah yea that's true, I usually mitigate that by running max HP and less strength so they don't do too much damage

[left storm]

I really can't stress how fun Victor is

[silver dirge]

I haven't used Victor ever pretty much

[left storm]

Max guard on ally + max damage guard is a slept on strat

[keen jasper]

Because brute force better

[left storm]

Yeah, but brute forcing is boring after 40-60 weeks

[keen jasper]

Well, that's for you I guess

[left storm]

Yea

It's all personal

As long as you beat csmm with over 7.5k points you're not losing anything of big value

[silver dirge]

I really hope for a harder CSMM upgrade sometime soon, I'd love more stages like the Sinnoh/Hoenn ones with gimmicks and all

[keen jasper]

Paldea CS when

[silver dirge]

Or update Johto/Kanto/Unova so they aren't a cakewalk

[left storm]

I want something Galar themed

With stages with max moves

[keen jasper]

What about Alola?

[silver dirge]

[left storm]

[silver dirge]

Oh I forgot about Alola LMAO

[left storm]

Alo-who

[keen jasper]

I actually first started doing CSMM during Sinnoh CS last year

I got 7.9k pts. on my first CSMM

[silver dirge]

jumping straight in

[left storm]

How many weeks has it been since csmm started?

200?

No no

140-150?

[silver dirge]

I have no idea tbh

[rotund lagoon]

I feel like it was a little bit after Alola CS’s debut?

[wide adder]

The stage conditions this week seem useless/ignorable

[mellow linden]

Yeah, the only thing to really keep in mind is that the damage reduction field parameters mess with quadqueue

Which isn’t a big deal for a ton of teams

[wide adder]

I can just bring adrenaline stuff there if needed

Cause adrenaline “fixes” quad related problems

Bit curious if it still stops quad if you use long animations like spring burgh metronome

[left storm]

Or if you run 1-2 sync cd

[versed meteor]

I think we need new round parameters

[stiff compass]

Is this the team I should use for marshal this week? Tried it 5 times and always super close to beating it…. Or what kind of supp can I use for it?

[rotund lagoon]

So note you do not need to do monotype teams.

Also Liza and SS Dawn are redundant iirc

Also, I recommend your Giovanni over Caitlin.

Unless Gio is being used for Ghost?

[stiff compass]

No, he’s free. I tried Giovanni and found I’m dealing less damage. Maybe because of team too. Also should I be pivoting toward psystrike or psychic if using mewtwo

[tired sleet]

Generally Psychic, it deals more with the grid and can also drop SpDef

[rotund lagoon]

Psychic is better in this situation.

[stiff compass]

If enabling stat reduction, what should the bonus points be?

Or is it okay to have it turned off

[rotund lagoon]

Which points are you doing? And did you check the recommended params in pins?

[rotund lagoon]

I……….why did I think the Sp Atk increase was on base…?

[stiff compass]

Checking it out now and seeing what the change. Haven’t checked it out yet. Srry.

[rotund lagoon]

You can turn off ping please. And yeah, go check that sheet.

[stiff compass]

So with them, I would have maxed spedef SAttack have 4 on defense

Also max crit too

[rotund lagoon]

I personally think Sabrina is a better choice for Sp Atk increases. And Gio just needs to set up Crit on his TM

[stiff compass]

Okay. I’ll give that a try. Thanks

[rotund lagoon]

So yeah, SS Dawn, Sabrina and Gio. See if that works.

[stiff compass]

First sync on Giovanni?

[rotund lagoon]

If he has Mega, yes.

[stiff compass]

Yeah. And second for dawn or all on Giovanni

[rotund lagoon]

Gio.

If worse comes to worse, I guess SS Dawn second sync, but I recommend Gio more for sides (if he doesn’t do so on first sync)

[stiff compass]

Ok. Ty

[slim prawn]

Who to go for in round 2 already done grimsly

[rotund lagoon]

You need to decide the order based on your teams and the gimmicks of each CS.

I do not know your teams, do you have team plans?

[grizzled ridge]

What kind of support can I use for mew for marshal

[old orchid]

What does Oak lack?

You want dmg dealers to be at max atk/spatk and crit

[grizzled ridge]

Oops meant mewtwo , idk if mew can even do it

I am thinking Sabrina and clefairy

[tired sleet]

You’re right that Giovanni wants SpAtk buffs
Have you noticed Giovanni’s grid has boosts for enemy SpDef drops? You could potentially incorporate that.

[grizzled ridge]

I am missing the power to kill sides idk if I should try postsync

[wet gate]

Are these teams good

oh i also have nc blue

if he is needed

[silver dirge]

Remove Sycamore from Alder's team. Him and Diantha fight for sync

[wet gate]

who do i replace him with?

nc blue?

[silver dirge]

What's NC Leaf there for too?

[wet gate]

debuff

[silver dirge]

Pair SS Diantha with another rock DD and a physical support depending on what that DD is

Marshal's team doesn't need SS Blue there, you can put in another psychic DD like Will or Bianca

Replace Elio with a better physical support on the Shauntal team (Shauna, Aaron, Hop, Hilbert, Sonia)

[wet gate]

i beat the first one

[silver dirge]

Nice

Which one. Grimsley?

[wet gate]

yes

[silver dirge]

Put NC blue with Gio

[wet gate]

i dont think i have any rock dds

gordie?

oh i got olivia

[silver dirge]

Nah he wants sync nuke too heavily. Olivia yes

[wet gate]

i got sonya

[silver dirge]

Do you have Lucian?

[wet gate]

yes

[silver dirge]

That's a great 3rd there

Nc blue lucian gio

[wet gate]

what about tapu lele

[silver dirge]

That's your Marshal team, no? I'd just put Bianca with her

[wet gate]

wait so who is this for

caitlin?

[silver dirge]

Caitlin

[wet gate]

but lucian is psychic

[silver dirge]

That's fine, only your DD's type matters

[wet gate]

who do i sync with then

since gio sync is psychic

[silver dirge]

Can just go for Shadow Ball DPS and EX buff

Oh is NC Blue EX'd?

[wet gate]

yes

[silver dirge]

Ya that should work

[wet gate]

so just spam blue sync?

[silver dirge]

You should be done with it in less than 2 syncs

[wet gate]

ok

is 3/5 bianca or 5/5 will better

i already have terrain from ss lana

[silver dirge]

Either or is fine, I think Will has the higher SpAtk stat but don't quote me on that

[wet gate]

ok ill just go with wil then

who do i use as support for alder

sonya?

[silver dirge]

Yeap that should work

[wet gate]

ok

[silver dirge]

Also this is not a necessity, but you may wanna check out Fantina for ghost weak stages. She's quite decent, and a great pair to make use of NC Blue's buffs

[wet gate]

and replace elio with hilbert

[wet gate]

i dont think ive ever used her

[silver dirge]

She also has a ghost type sync so that's not an issue either

[wet gate]

my main ghost dps is morty

ex as well

[silver dirge]

Np, don't have to just a suggestion

Shadow Ball Fantina > Shadow Ball Morty though

[wet gate]

ok

[silver dirge]

Morty will still do fine

[wet gate]

i beat shauntal

[silver dirge]

[wet gate]

ok i won

wow that was easy

[silver dirge]

gg

[wet gate]

[stiff compass]

What do the pre sync and post sync on the point screenshot mean? Like enemy more sync moves?

[tired sleet]

Pre sync means defeating the enemy before they sync

[stiff compass]

Are there teams that can actually do that?

Thanks

[trail smelt]

A lot

[mellow linden]

Yeah, there are too many teams capable of pre-Syncing to make an exhaustive list. The primary thing for pre-Syncing is general game wisdom of proper triple queue and focusing the center opponent 1st

And post-Sync just means you don’t care whether or not the opponent Syncs

[tame gust]

Pre sync usually requires players to know game mechanics to a degree. And yeah, to focus down mid and, in some cases, try to deny the enemy from having turns to ready their sync. I think general consensus is that a player that knows how to work their party and such, should be able to fit in two syncs before the enemy can get one in. If things all go correctly.

[wide adder]

Are either of these physical stages?

I assume not from trainers but

At laundromat just trying to pass time lol

[eternal matrix]

They don’t use physical moves

[wide adder]

Ok thanks

[rigid flint]

Nah none of them are physical

[left storm]

Grimsley iirc

Ah of those 2?

Both special

[grand trout]

im tempted to repeat this csmm just to use my new exed shauntal

[silver dirge]

go for it what's holding you back

[digital sleet]

Can me get help for the one that's weak to psychic

Marshal

I already beat Caitlin and Shauntal

I wanted to use ross

Rosa

[old orchid]

a special buffer + Lucian are good teammates for Giovanni

[digital sleet]

But I don't know if I'll need her for later

alright

[old orchid]

you should plan your teams ahead

Rosa isnt too valuable to save as wildcard tho

[digital sleet]

oh

[mellow linden]

There’s lots of Supports who buff Sp. Atk. by 2 stages at a time

[digital sleet]

alright

Ehm

How about Lilly

Lillie*

[mellow linden]

Assuming you mean Lillie + Clefairy she’s a fine option for a Sp. Atk. buffer in this instance, yeah

[digital sleet]

alrighty then

thanke

thanks

[mellow linden]

Just make sure to use at least 9-12 unique types across your 5 teams if this is your 1st time doing CS

[digital sleet]

okay

I only did 4

With this it'll become 6

Ah no it'll become 5

[mellow linden]

Should be able to hit the 9-12 threshold just fine with your final 2 teams, worst case scenario

[digital sleet]

a

I losy

lost

[mellow linden]

What specifically went wrong?

[digital sleet]

I think lillie died to quickly

[mellow linden]

Are you using Growl with Lucian?

[digital sleet]

and then conkellder used it's sync move onto Lucian

Yep

and it leered next turn and died

[mellow linden]

How many Sync Moves are you using before the opponent Syncs?

[digital sleet]

1

[mellow linden]

What’s your Sync countdown at by the time the opponent Syncs, then?

[digital sleet]

I forgot but maybe 7

[mellow linden]

That’s too high, either Lillie is getting KOed so early that your triple queue is ruined for the majority of the fight (in which case it’s likely that either she’s underleveled or you got unlucky and the opponent spammed their strongest moves) or you’re not properly triple queueing

[digital sleet]

well they did spam their moves

Close combat

lillie is level 125

[mellow linden]

Probably just need to take another shot at it and hope they don’t spam Close Combat. You’re making sure to triple queue, right?

[digital sleet]

okat

yep

spam the moves

[mellow linden]

After your team’s 3rd set of 3 actions, wait for Sync to be available before you queue anything, and queue Sync -> move -> move as the next set of actions

That way you get your next Sync Move faster

[digital sleet]

oh yay I wonn

okay

I just spammed like

Nowhere to hide and Full Power x2 with growl

Then Psychic, Growl and Disarmin Voice over and over again

should this work for grimsley

[old orchid]

i would use Solgaleo as the dmg dealer

[digital sleet]

oh

I don't have solgaleo

let me get him

[mellow linden]

Can roll with something like Solgaleo + crit buffer + Normal type Support, potentially

[digital sleet]

hmm

will Sonia work

[mellow linden]

She doesn’t buff crit, but if Electric is a type you need on the medal and you’re not gonna use Sonia elsewhere then her + a crit buffer will work fine for Solgaleo’s teammates

[digital sleet]

okay

Isn't Sonia part normal type?

[old orchid]

only the sync type counts

so she is Electric type

Yamper is pure Electric type in mainline games tho

[digital sleet]

ah

okay

These are my only normal supports

oh I lost

[mellow linden]

Use a crit buffer and bring a Normal type to the final fight if you can, you need Solgaleo to have crit buffs

[wide adder]

1/5 solgaleo, don’t forget to upgrade your Legendary free pairs

Since we get free 20/20 5/5

[sleek wedge]

No one is sync grid

The only sync grid

I have

Is cryus

[raw halo]

Ok

[sleek wedge]

I went for the crit up

and only that

So it’s just a straight line

I’m also new

Been playing for like 4 days

[raw halo]

That’s fine

How many yellow orbs do you have?

[sleek wedge]

so I have the resources from the early game like the gems and the tickets but not a lot of sync grind material

[raw halo]

That’s ok

[raw halo]

Oh perfect

Do this and this

That should help you out and be enough to clear

I’d also recommend doing a stage that uses physical attacks like Marshal as that way you can make use of the defence buffs

[sleek wedge]

What do you mean by that

Like only focus marshal

[raw halo]

Skyla’s TM (Take Flight) buffs defence which lets you take less damage against physical attacks. Marshal uses physical attacks so fight him

[sleek wedge]

Oh yeh I understand that

But don’t I have to complete them all

So regardless or whether I battle him

I’ll still have to beat the other eventually

[raw halo]

You can only use 1 team per stage

[sleek wedge]

wait

So I have to build 4 teams?

[raw halo]

5 including the champion stage that unlocks after beating the e4

But yes

[sleek wedge]

what’s the point of me doing this then lmao

I don’t have any good sync pairs lmao

I’m just doing this to grind all the resources

my only two teams

Ar e these two

The rest of my pairs are the free pairs

[raw halo]

1. Some free pairs are good, you should invest in them
2. Even if you can’t complete all stages it’s good to do them as they reset weekly and you get stuff that will let you eventually EX units

If you want we can make 5 teams that could clear if you post your roster here

[sleek wedge]

Sure give me a sec

[undone ether]

Tbh... We do champion stadium for rewards o-o/
For newish players, options to EX a unit.

[sleek wedge]

Yeh I guess all resources are good

What I would like then

Can you guys help me build a ghetsis team for the event

So I can get him decently strong

[raw halo]

Your current team should work out if you invest in them

[undone ether]

Try to ex ghetsis and his powerboost

[sleek wedge]

is it safe to invest in them though

[undone ether]

As well as you legendary pairs.

[sleek wedge]

Yeh I like Cyrus

[raw halo]

Yes, all legendary pairs are good units, ghetsis is one of them

[sleek wedge]

helped me clear a bunch

[undone ether]

Mewtwo, xerneas are at 1/5 ooof

[sleek wedge]

still stuck on some 135 quests

[sleek wedge]

I can get them to 5

sorry for the @

I hate that I have to keep turning it off

[raw halo]

You should as you get their grid that way

Sycamore especially will help you out a ton

[sleek wedge]

With the legendary events

I can get all the legendaries to 5/5

So the unova team I have right now

Should I sync grid them

To grind ghetsis recourses

[raw halo]

Do this

Just for now

[sleek wedge]

That looks like a lot

Do I have enough to do that

[raw halo]

You do

[sleek wedge]

And it’s okay to use all of them for that ghetsis team

over cryus?

[raw halo]

What do you mean all of them

That’s not all your yellow orbs

It’s like half

[sleek wedge]

I thought 13000 was a little amount

[raw halo]

You need 7500 to fully grid 1 sync pair

So that should more than cover those

[sleek wedge]

Can I ask why would I grid sync skyla

Seems useless?

[raw halo]

Skyla’s a great support for newer players, she has potion and buffs speed

[sleek wedge]

Yeh she is in like all my teams

But those buffs seem to do nothing though

[raw halo]

Well if you’re using her in every team why would it be useless to make her stronger

[sleek wedge]

Is it just to get her stronger

[raw halo]

The tile i went for gives you a chance to get potion uses back

[sleek wedge]

Cause my thought process was they are just support pokemon

Like once I’ve used the Tom’s

Tm*

They are useless

Just move spammers

[sleek wedge]

Oh that’s good

Nvm

[raw halo]

Her potion tm heals you, so for stages that do lots of damage you have a chance to still be alive yeah

[sleek wedge]

Okay

[raw halo]

That should also help with the CS stage if it procs

[sleek wedge]

I appreciate it

I’ll give marshal a try

With this team

And grind the event with it

[raw halo]

Good luck

[sleek wedge]

Is this team also good

For other stages

For example

One sec

Stages like these

I just can’t clear with the palkia team

Or would you suggest I also max palkia sync grid

[raw halo]

You might struggle with Leon as he’s a relatively newer one but the team break one should be clearable?

[raw halo]

Well what do you have his grid at currently?

[sleek wedge]

Just this

Went for the crit up

I got some advice from some people yesterday and they said the ghetsis team is a good unova team

But they said Cyrus is v strong

[raw halo]

Cyrus with a sync grid is better than Ghetsis with a sync grid. But you don’t have Winona yet so you can’t fully utilize him just yet

But even then he is strong yes

[sleek wedge]

I have 50k gems

Should I go for winona

[raw halo]

I wouldn’t pull just for a 4*

Usually you aim for a 5* pair you want, dw about it you’ll get all the 3* and 4* eventually

[sleek wedge]

I have these tickets

Should I just
