Honestly yes you’ll get a bunch of new 5 stars pairs
And the pool just updated and won’t update for a while
Okay I’ll go pull a bunch and show you what I get lol
also that 5* select ticket
That’s just for the starter trio right
Which one should I go for
Should I just save it then for a later date
Since I’m focusing on Cyrus and ghetsis anyway
That select pool isn’t going to be updated and you’ll eventually have everyone built and gridded
Just making sure but you’re doing the daily orb stage yes?
The orange ones
Yes
I would like to say I’m not dumb
So anything that I see
I just do
to make sure I don’t lose resources
That’s a good mindset yeah
but I’m sure I’ve missed some stuff
Like I haven’t been focussing events
But I’ll focus this ghetsis event from now on
let me pull these tickets then and I’ll update you
I felt like I got more
But idk if any of these are good
I also still have the starter trio ticket and the team rocket ticket
No reason to hoard those
I guess I’ll pick blue then
Most of them are good
OH also before i forget
Do the coop stage that appeared today it will let you get 2/5 Acerola
Am I strong enough to do that
It’s coop you’ll be paired with others
Special pika challenge right?
Yes
got it
The coop variant
So about the syncs I got
Do any of them go in the Cyrus or ghetsis team
Or did I pull a better team
No but you can make other teams with them
Will they be better than the Cyrus or ghetsis team
Cause ngl I don’t have many level up resources left
That’s fine you’ll get more as you play
Don’t need to 120 everyone immediately
Okay
No because you lack the move level investment, but either way teams are very flexible and you usually make a team for the stage and not the other way around
Oh I think I’m understanding it
I thought
You just built a strong team
And kept going with that team
instead you just build your box then build specific teams for specific stages
Yep 
but for now since I lack the moves and the ex resources etc
I’m focusing on ghetsis and Cyrus to clear stuff
And build up the box more
That’s fine for noe
well I appreciate all the advice
Sorry for the wall of texts
I’ll use ghetsis for a bit and grind the event etc
All good that’s what this channel is for
And hold off on Cyrus
is there anything else I should be doing
I have like legendary arena
But I doubt I have any teams that can clear those
Legendary Arena isn’t very hard so long as you respect the stage gimmicks
With maybe a couple exceptions (namely Moltres)
I complete the co-op for the day
Assuming you pick SSB and get everyone here to 120:
SS Blue/Elesa/Volkner
Rosa/Cyrus/Misty
Hop/SS Erika/Hilda
Skyla/Ghetsis/Torchic
Sycamore/Giovanni/anyone
That’s for CS
I purchase the sync pair correct?
Yes
Ssb?
I’ll go for it since you suggest it
And what do you mean for CS
for the legendary arena?
The 5 stage thing you’re using the ghetsis team on
do think that’s enough to clear though
Those 5 teams are stuff your roster can make and use to clear those stages
I’m struggling with the ghetsis team rn lmao
Well with time you can hopefully get more sync grids
Yep
Get more sync pairs and more resources
Anyways if you got acerola just keep at the events and eventually you’ll have a good enough box for the harder modes you’re currently struggling in
Is acerola good?
She’s niche but good early game
I do appreciate everything
I’ll just keep grinding
And guess I’ll come back in a few days
after the ghetsis event is over
I just said to focus her dupe because she’s a story pair so the only way to get dupes of her is doing this event which is 1 day per month or candying which is not worth
Well if you don’t want anyone this month just save, we’re getting a datamine in the next couple of days which will have new pairs which could interest you
idk who I want those
I guess I just want sync pairs
That will be good to start with but also hold up late game
Well most new limited units are basically very very strong cause power creep
So that isn’t an issue
So just wait till next month
I can’t really help you decide what to pull or not but if you ever feel like you want a pair and need a 2nd opinion #poma-questions exists 
And buy the limited units
Yeh I guess
I don’t understand enough to decide on sync pairs though
And what to get
Tbh you can pretty safely go for favorites if you want. Proper teambuilding and gameplay will have far more of an impact on your success than any broken limited
Yeah, SS Cyrus + Darkrai is a strong Sync Pair anyways
So it works out even better for you
do we know when that will be in rotation
Cause that would be a favourite i defo want
Only DeNA knows when reruns happen
🔘 <t:1644472800:D>
💰 (Anni 2022) <t:1661925600:D>
💰 (Milestone) <t:1683093600:D> (50 Million Downloads)
He’s due a rerun tbh
He’s also one of the few pokefairs without a 5/5 so just keep saving
idk what this means
Like you can’t 5/5 him
It’s a sync grid thing
5/5 sync grid tiles are a recent addition so some pokefairs only go upto 3/5 sync grid tiles
Cyrus is an older poke fair so he’s on the list that needs 5/5 tiles and those tiles come with a rerun
So whenever they decide to give it to him he’ll get rerun
oh that’s cool
Alr I’ll save then
What are other ways I can get sync pairs then
Without spending gems
Story has free sync pairs, some events give free sync pairs and the legendary adventures give the featured sync pair (like Ghetsis)
Otherwise it’s just pulling and ticket scouts
Oh on the topic of that, did you do the 25 gem multi?
Well there’s also BP exchange, but yeah
Idk what that is so no
I’ve also done no co-op at all
Since I was waiting to get more sync pairs
Ok so on the 25th of each month (like today) there’s a few things you need to do:
- go to the sync pair pull screen and you’ll see the option to spend 25 gems for a multi, this is a steal because normally these cost 3k gems
- do the single player pika stage for 500 gems and a bunch of candy coins
- grind the coop pika stage for items and a move level of a story character
Okay
So the co-op I just did and the solo event is for first of month
Let me find the multi
I assume it’s this
So just go for it
Yes
Oh lol
I got winona and a 5 star
Yes do Winona / Cyrus and spam hydro pump under rain for damage
Skyla as third
Yes
Stick with ghetsis
Should the line be like that though
The line is just whatever you feel like, you can set tactics separately
Just add this bit and save them for whenever you’re struggling on a stage
Nothing on Winona
For now no
Alright
Well I think that’s everything
I’ll go sync grid
And start grinding
Honestly I appreciate everything
All good, just head over to #poma-questions if you get any other queries 
Seeing as there's psychic and rock, you can cross those 2 off and use them against Marshal and Alder
After you find your main strikers, you can have supports made of the other types of Poison, Ground, Bug and Ghost
You can use her against Alder later
You could, but it also depends on who your main striker is
SS Serena works on Shauntal
You can if you want!
SS Serena is very powerful so she'll be able to get by quite well
Just make sure to pair her with a support that boosts speed
Yep
Sycamore and Serena don't really go along well in a team since they compete to sync
Either or works actually
But yeah Acerola does have a 1 gauge spam move which helps
Ayy nice
Alright that's 1 type down, 6 to go
Oh NC Red works fine
I was about to ask if you had any ghost types
Well, what rock and ghost types do you have?
Victor and Allister together should be fine I think
and even then shauntal is still good
And you can slap on a spatk support there
victor
You should grind the Halloween event to get Helena to 5* 20/20 and full grid
Yeah Roxanne works
She is pretty solid for Ghost weak content
heres the thing shes a 3* and according everyone else anything below a 5* is stinky
I dont believe she was given free 5* power ups it should only be 5*
She's only given 4 star power ups
well the more unfortunate aspect of her imo is her damage is difficult to setup + Gio is a widely available ghost damage dealer whos easier to use
I thought Helena was more nukey than dps
Ye she def is
I mean enough materials to raise her to 5*
Mb
Thats not true, Helena is given out with free 5*
Thats why i specified that
which in a way shes not a bad secondary nuke if your gio is not ex but I prefer the more consistent gauge + spdef debuffs of someone like lucian so no shade torwards Helenna but I find her role a bit unfortunate in a way but thats more suited for like gen strat discussio
some people dont see 5* and see red
New player syndrome
well in some cases it makes sense
its why we as helpers try to stress as much as we can stars =/= how good a unit is
this is one of the games where you can increase a characters stars
not all games are like that
I'm pretty sure there's quite a few games where you can do that
yes but its not a constant
It's just the 5 stars in those games will always overshadow the lower value units
Hmm
What's the damage looking like
Might need to bust out the Sycamore in that case
Ah
Yeah Sycamore might be better in that case since he buffs spdef
Ahh right
Ok which spatk supports do you have
NC Blue might be better actually
I don't think you'll be using any spatk dps' in other rounds right?
Ah right
I won't lie NC Red can probably do well on his own, just add a pretty decent tank on the side
Yeah that works
The ice legendariess
Gio goes insane tbh
Solgaleo time baby
Ground types are p limited so Hapu as a filler option is fine
As long as you have a decent support for Solgaleo
Do you have Hilbert by any chance?
Regular
If you have him at 3/5 or above you could use him
Ah
Ooh yeah SS Blue is great
You can use Bertha against Alder
She's a decent semi tank
For Grimsley use Solgaleo, SS Blue and uhhh Koga
Lusamine's kinda frail but since Red's doing all the damage it'll be fine
It's alright
What level is your SS Blue at?
you cna always poison stall
Oh Koga's not going to be the main one tanking so it'll be alright if he's underleveled
Should be more than fine
If you are poison stalling the support you cann use can be chanegd to a more defensive one as crit buffs and gauge arent super important Janine + BPEirika/Lucy should be fine
Have Bertha tank
And use Red as the main striker
His B Move freezes everything so he'll be fine
Ah right
What level is Hapu at?
Oh ok you can just use Hapu as fodder
NC Red should be fine on his own
Should be
Just make sure to use Red's B Move to do damage
You can use different pairs to fight
How much damage did you do with Solgaleo?
Hmm
Who did you sync with first?
Ah that's likely why
If you sync with Blue first, you can give endurance to everyone and he'll get added def + spdef
It'll help you survive longer
Yep!
Reading is a crazy skill
🤯
Vigilance is good on SSB
Hm
Odd
You can use streamable if it's too big
Ooh good job!!
you don't always have to take advantage of the round param
if NC Red is your best option then go for it
are lusamine and hapu just for filler types
if one dies your queue's going to get ruined
but eh 4/5 NC Red should nuke with ease but alright
just know that this isn't an example of a very good team when you do master mode
Master mode is only hard if you make it hard
just do 4.2k points first
Is Courtney and camerupt 1/5 paired with Bertha and hippowdon 3/5 plus one other support enough to beat Shauntal? The only other ground types I have were the free to play ones
it should be. Bertha has a good nuke if you grid her for it
did you miss out on Naomi?
They work well. Do note that both demand gauge support
Bertha could also use some stat support right?
I was thinking Rosa for gauge support. Or blue and blastoise
Not Rosa
Idk what you mean, skill gear isn’t needed if you’re tackling CS for the first time. What is needed is an understanding of the mechanics and gameplay. Go read #1010307000346878062 if you haven’t and use the Teambuilding 101 guide to help plan your teams.
i mean i need to beat one of the elite four in order to unlock that skill gear feature
i cant use the skill gear for first time
Oh you're wanting to unlock skill gear? Just so you know, skill gears are absolutely not necessary in any of the game's current content. They are also quite RNG reliant and it takes a while to curate a useful set for a team in particular.
That being said, if you're keen on experimenting with them that's fine. Everything Annie said above still applies, if you're going to be tackling CS (which you should, there's a lot of good rewards every week), then you need to understand teambuilding & basic gameplay first. Have a read of #1010307000346878062 like she said, and try and form some teams for each of the 5 stages. If you get stuck somewhere or want some help/feedback, post em here and we'll take it from there
yeah i did some battle few time but cannot do but this was like last week lol
was just asking what are the best lineup from my roster for each of those four elite i could try beat
Yea that's fine, we're just encouraging you to make some teams yourself first so you'll get some practice with teambuilding. Choose a damage dealer for each stage, and a support(s) and 3rd to help set up their offenses. Not to sound like a broken record, but please do read the teambuilding guide in #1010307000346878062 first, it'll get you up to speed
I'll get you started with a quick first team, against grimsley you can go for Steven (Damage Dealer), Hop (Support) & any 3rd (Filler). Filler meaning any type you're not going to be using in the 5 teams so you can get it filled on the medal
so filler like death fodder as a lead?
Filler, basically anyone, as long as it doesn’t hold the team back.
Your support should be the first target, filler is just there to get some sync countdown in
so they are 2nd target
Filler is second target, damage dealer third target.
took down Marshal with Calem, Giovanni and Prof Sycamore
i guess i get the hang on it lol
just happen to finish Shauntal with Bertha, Victor and Skyla
seems that i am stuck with Caitlin while using different type for medal or so
my main is Selene/Decidueye with Grass type for medal (but have Ghost)
What types do you have left?
Eww Brycen
i havent use this team yet lol
Well Maylene is a good choice, just find a tank
well there are others to choose from as i did made a whole roster
the reason i pick Maylene for X Attack
to boost Decidueye physical attack of his ghost move
Her rock smash can help too
I’m taking awhile jumping between screenshots but you have a bunch of water tanks left
swap Maylene for Elio you say?
Swap Brycen 
two support huh?
still need some leveling as ran out of level up stuff so doing some Villian story while should raise some Louge Expendition
kk
Because of this I'm tempted to use brycen next week
...or i would, were it not for the fact it had trouble clearing battle challenge part 1 in unova va
Such a weird kit, special moves but physical sync
And no nuke nodes
His sync is physical I didn’t know he was one of those
@toxic cobalt did it first try. nearly died but Medicham held on like 10% HP and take down Jynx
could have recorded this. it was pretty close call
now to face Alder
Bring your best tank to Alder. He has Hyper Beam which is brutal
Gordie/Coalossal would be a tank
Ghetsis/Kyurem with bit of ice and dragon on his minions
Which supports have you used?
No, all opponents are weak to Rock
only
Everyone is weak to a type only
Swimsuit Misty is a good choice. Olivia is the striker
i know but i thought i pick different type for Pieces thingy
as posted here: #1009554906568462476 message
You dont need to fill all 15 types in the first week
ah right. thought i give it a challenege lol
so i have Kukui/Lycan, Olivia/Lycan and Misty(Swim)/Psyduck
Personally i would add Aaron to the team to speed up Olivia's buffing, and fill in the Bug type too
Your team works ofc
and i did it
both Lycan did some serious damage
thought Kukui's Lycan was abit rubbish at first cos low damage with rock throw till i use accelrate near the end
Nice. Remember to fill the last 7 types next week to unlock Master Mode
when the new one start?
It resets on every Monday
cool
i just need to beat Alder and im finally done. never thought i would make it this far. any idea on who to bring? my current team is Olivia/lycanroc, Roxanne/Probopass, and Drake/Salamence
Are you doing hard or master mode?
Hard. im no where near ready for master. wont be for ages probably lol
maybe try same team i used
Kukui/Lycan, Olivia/Lycan and Misty(Swim)/Psyduck but you dont have Kukui
maybe Grant?
Bugsy can be a good replacement
Have you used Sonia? She is better than Roxanne there
Kukui is there for leer amyways
Sonia, olivia, and bugsy scyther seems like a good team
yeah i used sonia for caitlyn
i know, small brain
welp, im dumb. thought i had bugsy scyther, guess not
Drake is good in place of Aaron, if you havent filled Dragon type yet
Ah so no Bugscyther
Congrats
so when the champion stadium resets, whatever remaining types i need to complete the medal, will that carry over?
Yup
sweet
So how many did you complete this week
i just need 8 more types
No
Oh
I managed to get 8k on the challenge,so that's nice
Well that goes my plan to use Pryce
I'll use
Uh
I don't want to go ham and sic ncred or summer steven
And i used nessa 2 weeks ago
Just candice froslass i guess
Ghetsis has very good nuke
Hala's sync is very good ontype too
Offtype it falls off a bit, but still respectable
BpCandice I also find pretty fun
3k CS is coming 
That's kinda early
yeah very
I almost missed the 3k rule change LMAO
Yeee
slap it on the bottom like an afterthought lol
uhhhhhhhhh...
15k cs is gonna be something else on the harder regions for the average joe...
So does that mean I can do 22.5k pts. now 
Hoenn CS 15k 
are we...gonna get even more options or is it just try to fit even more points with the same stuff

15k? Ok then I’ll try my best on that when Kalos comes around I guess.
Are we getting new params
too bad it will be nothing but skill issue
granted it'll be funny that everyone will get to experience Kalos, Hoenn and Sinnoh with bigger numbers
Easier regions shouldn’t be a problem
Time for helpers to remake the guide again 
ok looks like Ball Guy solos are safe
Need some rewards changes too, now add cake coin coward 
The best they can do is adding golden skill feathers
screaming
3k parameters, poison stall remains easy af
Yeah, using basic boring poison stall parameters already gets you above 2,500
A few more strength shouldn't make much difference
Testing 3k solos
Just realised the Sycamore solo I promised Aurochs next week is going to be 3k params 
next week is still Unova, no?
i thought the new params will start with Kanto
or will it apply literally next week
yeah, it's not until Kanto, just like how 2k and 2.5k started
So are we getting kanto
yes Kanto is next
Interesting
Can DeNA put poison weak on the last week again for the check notes possibly 4th consecutive time this month 
Ah Kanto, the most difficult CS out there
finally 3k pts Kanto is on par with 1k pts Kalos

now you have become one
where & why did you find this
Cringe lol
Oh wait they added more parameters? I missed that
Maybe a little hp wouldn't hurt...? 
Hmm
maybe I'll finally have trouble in CS 
Tricky
I don’t think I can add anymore strengths lol
I think I haven't hit all the max strength nodes yet
I have all my strength params checked
Wait no lol
I forgot
But I'll probably turn on hp nodes and see what bites
Next month is Kanto
highly doubt it
trouble in kanto? is this opposite day
If you don’t do themes that’s on you!
wow. x10 each week? D:?!
Solid HMM

… what?
A lot of people choose to do themes for CS each week, mixes things up and gives us a challenge instead of just doing your regular one button KOs
Themes make it tricky
I’m the monotype guy lol
I feel your monotype teams are pretty optimised though
Dammit where are my bugs
In Unova
if there's a bug stage
i might off-type
depends .-.
its Kanto though, so... if you've got built up teams
you can probably clear those easy.
Oh it’s Kanto huh
we've got 1 more week of Unova then kanto is incoming iirc
3k doesnt change much the diffculty of CSMM, at least for 6 month or older players

Tho i still want some new params tho
Me too
same. more hp for me would be really nice xd
They are, because gear + theme skills add dummy flat stats
Offtyping 3k is pretty annoying, guess I'll keep 2v3ing ontype instead
i think this should do it... hmm
not quite sure what teams i'd be running with NC Red and Irida though hum.
Lorelei too hmm
NC red irida wipes the floor with anything
Can I get help against Alder
for alder, i recommend using that can drop his SP.ATK
*anyone that can drop his SP.ATK
cuz he'll hit hard with hyper beam
try Olivia, Sycamore and SS Hilda
also remember to grind for Helena's upgrade materials in Halloween events before it ends
she's a solid debuffer, if you can get her move level to 3/5 :o~
she isnt even that good at debuffing (only 40% with OaR gridded, not even considered solid)
and get her to 5/5 and 0/20 too
Debuffing is probably her weakest aspect, her damage and reliable Paralysis (90% is gridded, 60% at base) are far more notable
She's pretty much pre-PB Fantina tier
alright, thanks!
I got her today lol
At least you've got Ghetsis to EX :o~
Looks like we're getting Kalos VA, so Sycamore will be pretty gucci soon
ayyy
I'm gonna skip like
whatever is gonna come in november
so I'll get a ton of gems for that
Who should be the first target
Olivia has endurance and high defense
but Sycamore has
that passive
please be careful when you give advice to someone because you are constantly giving weird and even bad advice recently. you also show no sign of improvement when people correcting you
i mean the original Olivia, not BP Olivia
oH
because the BP one overlaps with Sycamore
the one with carbink?
yeah
i meant you shouldnt use the BP one
but with SS Hilda carrying, it shouldnt be a problem
Man, I have slept through this week's CS
you've got 2 more resets :o~
3 rather @_@
hum, this should do it for kanto month hmm
woo I wonn
gj~
thanks guys
we've got 1 more week of Unova next week
hopefully you can complete the type medal a bit more
right
damn, 15k csmm. Wonder if there's gonna be new parameters lol, if not it might get a little tricky.
There aren't new params 
if you can do 2.5k easily, 3k can be good.
Tbh it probably won’t even be that hard
just... if its Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos though.... yikes.
For Triple Elesa, I mean
You got that team? 
Yeah, SS + Classic + Lodge
Love it
It’s beaten all 2.5k CS stages so far, and now my C. Elesa is 5/5

wew 5/5
As expected of an Elesa Simp 
But of course
you using Pal Elesa? :o?
Triple Elesa is SS + Classic + Lodge, I run Palentine’s Elesa on Flying weak stages alongside A. Skyla
nice
I’m tempted to do 3k clear on next week of unova just for the heck of it and to get used to the new norm a week early

Unova can’t be that hard…can it?
Can't hurt to try can it?
Do we already know what modifieres they are going to add?
Gonna be having to redo all my presets.
None apparently
Yea, none 
Hm my go to is at 2550 with max strength
If I add phys or special it’s 2650.
How am I gonna squeeze 350.
Ig most my teams don’t need status or interference… but some do is the problem… so I wanna keep one open at least…
…how bad is adding 60% hp prob gonna be. Meh. Can’t hurt to give it a try next week ig
Well my ghost team can do 3k at least. That’s promising.
I know my water and dark teams won’t struggle… gotta think what types I might have problems with 3k on…
Electric, Bug, might struggle on ground might not, grass maybe, fighting maybe… I think steel might be problematic too
heres the units in the types i think i could struggle on with 3k params
grass i feel safest of those 5 types, but im still not certain on
forgot that i exd shauna since i edited this
Well I was thinking 2500 Unova was actually easy...
Eh...
If I'm not wrong, Kanto was the debut of both difficulty increases?
I could see myself attempting 3000 for Kanto, Johto and Unova.
Yeah all difficulty increases has been kanto
There were more than two?
Dunno how many there’s been
Just know it’s always been kanto
I know about 7.5 to 10 then to 12.5 and now 15 is coming
Dunno if there was much before 7.5 or not.
I think it was 10k when I've started playing.
Or at least when I've started seeking help here about this mode.
It was 7.5 when I began
1.5-2-2.5-3k
7.5k was way harder because average unit was way worse back then, and parameters were scarcer
they might add a new region in the next cycle
if january is not sinnoh there's a high chance
Is Kanto or Johto considered the easier CS
Kanto
Koga is a jerk
personally i find them about equal
Hau/Elesa have worked in the past for me against Aaron for 3K
Bug if you have like SSMorty/ssbrendan SSEirika/SCIngo you’ll likely be fine for bug burgh is pretty good on type post expansion
Fighting bea is extremely capable
Steel KGrims is amazing but PB Solgaleo is also incredibke
Solgaleo can definitely do it in one sync
full box (excluding 2>3 copy on Ethan Typhlosion from johto ticket)
also have a 3rd strike candy atm but that doesnt matter for current convo too much
also i dont actually have NCerena yet, but will be getting this month so
atm i use alder for bug but dunno if 1/5 alder is gonna be good enough for 3k bug. also dunno if 1/5 N is good for electric or if ill have to return to elesa for that...
steel im mainly worried about...who was it, bertha i think? the one that mainly uses moves that most steels are weak to with aoe
you could off-type
you only need 4.2k points total for important rewards
its up to you to decide
this is your first MM right? practice by doing 850 pts each
the pins have recommended params sets
@silver dirge what params will you be activating
Oui
Themed clears are going to be interesting though
This is a personal preference, but I go max HP + max Offenses + Ally HP At Start Down
Just hp+2 so they're not too bulky
then depending on the team, I'm usually close to 3k here by now anyway
Half hp?
Yeah
.... that's kinda scary lol
I wouldn't necessarily suggest this, because well half HP and hard hitters, but it's what I like 
But let's see how it'll go
If you're able to pick up nodes like "Standard Dmg Reduction" or "Can't change weather, terrain, zone" then you can often drop some offense or the half HP node
Then they don't hit hard at all
I have std damage reduction up so that's moot
Not sure about wtz though because some units rely on those
Prolly status and interference too, i guess???
Yea it really just depends on your team
cry about it
Can't squint on that one, because agree
How hard is 3k gonna be?
For a decently experienced player, not very. At most it's just a couple of strength increases
Especially considering the next CS is Kanto 
Although for a relatively new player it may be a lil steep
luckily the rewards are so bad
yea I was gonna say, can just forego altogether
if it had bp points which it seems it doesn't I may have
how much more tickets spirits does it give again?
You have quite the established roster though
14.5k->15.k doesn't sound like a huge jump. But whatever you're comfortable with works 
What was the team?
That should def be doable, are you running too much bulk?
I think ill do bertha
I did 3k on Grimsley with K Grimsley, Glacia and Crasher Wake 
Why'd you replace Ingo with Bertha?
Ingo is a much better Support than SC Lyra for Cynthia.
Atk/Crit, Sand, Free Move Next, Potion and 1 bar spam.
Which is honestly why people slot in Courtney for third.
Yeap
Disqualified 
How
I 2v3d with sandless and zoneless Cynthia
i just tried it too with max HP and 3k points, no SC Lyra or zone just sand
It's quite easy
I think you might be messing up params
Like, Nita got hit twice
Shauntal is extremely frail anyway
Noice. Just had to trade pal marnie for Zamazenta
That team looks like it can easily do 3k
my budget mono teams still work
but post sync is much harder now
The heck was the 3rd one that you wanted to replace Palentine’s Marnie?
I sincerely doubt there’s an eggmon that’s better than Steel Zone in this instance

not running steel zone when you have it available is certainly a choice
I probably wouldn’t have batted an eye if the 3rd teammate weren’t either an eggmon or MC + Torchic, tbh
it seemingly was the first target too 
not totally surprised by someone who often gives weird takes
It’s nice that they switch back over to Kanto whenever the point cap increases, I gotta say
iirc it was kanto the last time the params were upgraded too I think
Yeah
according to Lost, Kanto is always the first of a new rotation cycle
Interesting
context:
I can't wait for Hoenn, Sinnoh or Kalos with the 3k params tho 
wait this is not true


i should have gone sleep 2 hours ago
Spreading misinformation smh my head
same 
my favorite

yeah no the first region could be anything, but whenever they rerun kanto they might increase the points
about cycle we do have a pattern until they decide to add a new region and a new cycle will form, starting with a different region than last time
that's why I said if the next one is not sinnoh we know for sure a new one will be added

For 2.5k points i was doing solga, registeel (3) and pal marnie
When i got up to 2.9k, it was difficult.
Changed to Zamazenta
And won xD
@ornate ridge Master Mode or just completing the Type Medal for Unova?
Um not sure I’m just starting to complete the stadium and I need help choosing a team but I guess you can say that I’m medal hunting aswell. Would appreciate the help
what are your current clear teams + what types are in your medal?
For Grimsely I used team 4, for Marshal I used nc Red, nc Leaf, and sycamore, and for Shantal I used ghost Victor, ss Blue, and ss dragon Serena
If you build a team around Giovanni + Mewtwo for the Caitlin fight and Olivia + Lycanroc for the Alder fight you should be fine. Make sure to follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines and grid Inertia on Olivia
Alr thx guys
Used these two teams to finish it off. I actually had a bit of fun using these teams
Is there info somewhere for the extra rewards for additional points?
Here ya go
When you increase the opponent's level, how much do the defenses rise exactly?
if you put in strength 1 (so 10 extra levels), the defenses are raised by +3
you can use pomatools to calculate their before and after stats depending on what parameters you put in
So 10 levels equals 3 def/sdef?
mm, more like, the parameter Strength 1 equals raising the opponents' levels by 10
Yeah, I just didn't know how much each level increases their stats
the defensive stats are raised from 78 (base) to 81. i used defensive stats as an example because that's what you asked. for their attack and special attack stats it's different
Thanks, I only need offensive calcs rn
can use pomatools for that
just insert your parameters and watch how much the stats change
Thank you, it was very helpful
Do we have the new parameters for 3k stadium?
Nop
Do I have any fairy damage dealers who can actually stand up to 3k
Or should I use gladion and offtype
In theory BP Valerie + Mina can probably manage it with a good Attack + crit Support, but you’ll probably have to experiment and see what works for you
Og mina
Doesn't even need ex
Also mawile
So dual striking with both+support ex?
After reading about the stadium and the gauntlet (as a super casual is a lot of info to take but fun tho) do i have any units on here that can help me get some points before the weekly reset or the end of this CS with minimum setup or do i need to invest in more ex unlocks and certificates for them before?
You can do just fine with the units you have
Good to know, ty
So for tomorrows challenge, im not sure who would be better to use for the electric type one, Im stuck between clemont/Heliodisk 1/5, and Elsa/Zebstrika 2/5
Between those two, Elesa would be better
Ok so here’s my team for this weeks challenge, hoping to fill in the rest of the medals I need. Anything I should change? I had a hard time deciding with my dragon team since I don’t have any good ones.
I know I need to level up
For Dragon, use Cyrus Palkia
You can support with Proton Golbat
And Skyla can stay
And also good luck!!!
It's fun to see people doing CS for the first time 
How does this look?
Looks fine
Man, I just did the previous CS at the very last second
Last hour
Updated
Urgh yay I guess
All of the weaknesses this week are easy 4k pts.
did anyone create presets for 3k csmm
Not just yet
this is the third run, the app just dies sigh
np np, it's usually a free 200 pts 
No perm field week again 
Man half of the team from this week doesn't need a change for next week 
perma field? what's that? .-.
But seriously, where's it it so i can run NC Red with Ice Zone rofl
Can't you run NC Red with Ice Zone .. anyway? He should clear it long before you need more than 2 Ice Wishes
Why did he have 0 spatk?
Maybe, not TM run?
i somehow forgot his TM a bit
Doesn't Blue buff SpAtk tho
Unless you didn't use his TM 😭
he managed to use it after sync and Red was doing 49k with his BMove
40% HP of Shauntal
nope

Interesting gameplay as always
I'd probably try to save Red's TM for his nuke
Just stop taking hp parameters and doing post sync when you have such OP roster or you’ll have much more trouble with 3k.
The hp and str increases are both too much and their sync do some serious dmg when you take both str and hp
i do HP and DEF, and like minimal STR params
You know that by picking hp it increase str too, just test with pomatools
i whiffed here though. .-.;
You take Defense parameters?
yeah
Those are by far the absolute worst params to take unless you're doing a stall
All you're doing is adding insane bulk to them and cutting down your damage
at least dont spread these bad takes to new players...
I'd rather take more HP than defense
Legit
bigger HP pools mean nothing if your roster is stacked
I don’t get it unless you like some chanllenges but it’s not
oh there u go. Glaceon ❤️
Yea I'm just confused, you're struggling to get to 3k and you've got Defense on em
That makes a lot of sense
even less if people stick to on type, which most do
Btw red and iridia at 1/5 can presync 3k without quadqueue and without 2nd sync
There’s no need to take hp and def
Not if you take Defense 8 
Tank is regice
what are you picking to get 3k without taking HP?
I know half ally HP is a thing people do but I've never liked it too much tbh
It’s unova anyway, kanto next week won’t be a problem
strength is usually the easier fix
but i'm not a fan of giving my opponents too much strength, i sometimes play around with half ally HP or max sync countdown
But taking more hp and def for sinnoh hoenn and kalos
esp for 3k
oh yeah, those parameters are gonna be a massive pain in those regions
oh
yea you're going to be punished heavily if you start adding bulk to the harder 3 region's stages
i think they MIGHT do Sinnoh for December if Volo comes true. .-.;
*CS Sinnoh rather
it's not an if, it's a when
Well if they keep the rotation then yeah sinnoh is in december
can't wait for all the complaining
ooof.
but yeah
i think i'm only doing 2900 points
so much less 5star power ups compared to this.
that's like what, 19-ish EX units?
I'd suggest trying a run where you drop any and all defense, pick up Half Ally HP (NC Blue can handle it) or if you're not comfortable some HP, and giving that a shot. With a roster like that 3k should be a breeze
i tried very hard with like presync params
i just get wiped out
too many tries and whatnot
(of course that's before NC Red/Blue and whatnot)
like
i'd be sweating for hours just to get a clear
and then there's 2-3 more battles to clear 😭
hence why post syncs have been very comfortable
i only presync when its someone like Glacia or something
or Drake
where the window of success is pretty solid compared to fighting them at their bigger HP/level/def
huh
I’ll be bringing along SS Roxie for Poison tho
just Caitlin? o.o?
oh did you use your Blue team for Marshal?
i only retried like 3-4 times on Marshal cuz my app was crashing/glitching xd
Yeah
When does the 15000 cs start? Next week?
when Kanto CS starts, so next week yeah
Been a while since I used SS Silver
Is Piers a place holder 
aiming for ss piers i guess?
Or it's just offtype Night Slash DPS with base Piers 

They have evasion?
yeah
It's Kanto you could miss thrice and still presync
indeed
