Perhaps a gentle reminder to the vets in this channel that just because you personally find 15k to be super easy, doesn't mean that every other player shares your opinion
This is a help channel, after all

if you want to try out some units, Lucian + Olympia is a good core

Hop can tank

doesnt matter
old orchid
raise him to higher level (120 - 125 is enough), and give him Vigilance lucky skill to avoid getting crit
hushed lintel
yeah i'll try that once i get vigor
old orchid
that team also lacks gauge, you should replace Phoebe with a speed buffer

Hop + Solgaleo + Marley is a good team
next time you should fill your sync pair tracker out to save time and for better understanding

its an offtype team so remember to turn off Standard Damage Reduction param

you can use the ingame filter

use Fall Caitlin then

Solgaleo needs crit
i think you can use Variety Thorton for easier clear ontype
hushed lintel
instead of solgaleo ?

yes

look for a support who can buff crit/spatk
alternatively try Bianca instead of Lucian for Psychic Terrain
Bianca also has very good dps

Hmm, silver will only set sun on sync though, no? And it wouldn't last til 2nd sync
Unless you just forego Solar Flare 5 on Erika
nova imp
Yeah
silver dirge
Which should be doable tbh
nova imp
Ss morty is great
silver dirge
I think nov's idea might work
Replace SS Morty with a good special support
First sync with Silver, 2nd sync with Erika while you set up paralysis
Still a bit iffy once your sun runs out but it might be worth a shot
Or if you can candy Gardenia & have cookies for Dauntless, she's great on-type too
swift swan
hmm yeah, gardenia/silver/ssmorty should be a comfortable dual strike team. presyncing should be pretty easy

There’s definitely better options for Grass than Solar Beam Silver

If Solar Beam Silver is your best on-type option then you may want to consider off-typing or Poison stalling instead, IMO

how tf did you do that bruno fight?my mew2 and toxtricity die after the 1st earthquake
rain turret
Im on blue,who do I use with oleana to toxic stall?
mellow linden
I’d personally recommend trying a more standard Janine + Poison inflictor (Koga, Lucy, and BP Erika are great options) + tank setup 1st so that you can save Oleana as an emergency off-type option since she has strong personal damage and can also enable a 2nd Poison damage-dealer
Worst case scenario with trying a more standard setup 1st is you fail with it and end up using Oleana for stall anyways
left storm
He's on blue
junior crown
if you're using oleana then I recomend to use someone with reflect + light screen (Melony/Anabel/Mesprit)
and go with round 1 parameters
if you go with Melony she raises SP def as well, so someone that raises def and heal is enough (like Skyla/Sonia), but if you go with Mesprit, someone that raises both is better, if not focus on SP def, since most of Blue's attack is special

Can build a team around:
-
Nessa and either Masked Royal or Sidney for Agatha.
-
Giovanni for Bruno.
-
MC + Solgaleo for Lance (go 5/5 20/20 them).
-
SS Erika or Mix Red for Lorelei.
-
Roark (grid him and get him to at least 4-stars) for Blue.
And be fine, just make sure to follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines and make sure you’re properly triple queueing

roark?
mellow linden
Yes
3-star with Rampardos, he’s a good Rock damage-dealer
Just grid him and up his potential to 4-stars (the potential increase might not be necessary for Hard Mode)
If your Roark isn’t 3/5 yet just off-type Blue with your NC Red
Also, make sure to get 9-12 different types (type of the Sync Move) across the 5 battles for type medal purposes

teambuilding 101?
mellow linden
+101
frozen depotBOT
> 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!

mellow linden
Some fantastic guidelines that’ll help you understand the whys and hows of teambuilding
Hard Mode is a great place to get a good grasp on CS teambuilding (and teambuilding in general) since the requirements are less strict than Master Mode
mellow linden
SS Blue might work better on another team due to his significant overlap with Hop, but that team will work fine
north crown
More like: avoid using SSBlue since you don't have many resources overall.
You do still have at least 1 fight after this too.
silver dirge
Yea that's essentially what Cobalt said
mellow linden
If they’re so short on resources that they can’t afford to even level 120 some pairs then yeah, I much more strongly recommend placing SS Blue on a different team, but if resources aren’t in dire straits it probably won’t be a huge deal either way on Hard Mode
north crown
how do i clear CS with these guys
Well, I originally said that after looking at their roster from this reply. I seriously doubt they have anyone better than SSBlue at this time, especially if they splurged their good pairs early in a CS run.
mellow linden
If it turns out they can’t level up Sync Pairs to 120 then things’ll change, but rn it’s Kanto Hard Mode, so it’s not very strict
north crown
ik Kanto CS Hard Mode is a joke, but I don't remember it being a literal freebie. At the very least, you'll still need some basic teambuilding to get through.
silver dirge
Of course, any moderately difficult stage should always be tackled with good teambuilding & queuing practices. But in terms of redundancy or overlapping buffs, there's some flexibility in hard mode
north crown
I'm just afraid they'd be in a position where the is a lack of buffs due to splurging too many supports.
the best non support team I could think of is Caitlin, Cyrus, Winona
silver dirge
Yea that's fair enough, hopefully they'll be okay. NC Red & MixRed can handle a stage each with any 2 fillers so if they just throw in random pairs for those 2 it should be good to go

nova imp
I don’t get the difference between sleep and sleep enabler
north crown
hold on I'm getting video reference
north crown
I don’t get the difference between sleep and sleep enabler
exactly
there
I want you to focus on 2 things specifically:
- When Skyla uses Gust, proccing MGR9
- How late Serena uses Hypnosis
nova imp
What is MGR9
north crown
Move Gauge Refresh 9
TL;DR Skyla's Gust MGR9 manipulates the timing of the opponent's move so that there is a consistent way to apply Hypnosis (therefore why FueBoomer queues it in the middle of an attack)
The best way to achieve this Hypnosis timing is by observing the damage numbers that appear when Gust (AKA a enabling move) is used. People usually use those numbers to time their sleep move to enable stall.
This is harder to do on a 3v3 battle, which is making me wonder why you're resorting to it, especially in CS
nova imp
you know
I have been trying lance for a while
A lot of different teams
So I don’t know what to do
Instead of Serena, is there something better?
north crown
yeah. you could proabbly use 2 supports/utility mons to further help slowgaleo
north crown
one for offensive buffs (AKA Hop), and one for speed (e.g: Skyla)
grand trout

hushed lintel
do i need all of my teams to be 140 for 2000 pt ?
north crown
well obviously you would want to; however, with good enough teambuilding, you should be able to clear as long as your units are above 120
those extra levels are really just the cherry on top
hold on what does Proton do? I'm going in #bot-zone to find out.
hushed lintel
mmh ok i'll figure out 5 teams prior trying them
the problem is to find 5 support units 🤣

oh my god masked royal exists
nova imp
the top 3 ones I left for blue since I have no good rock types
north crown
straight facts
I wonder if kukui will be able to achieve something similar. he's a gauge efficient def debuffer which is a relatively close substitute for MR
north crown
You should try that fr
nova imp
Hop is surprisingly a good dps since he has free move pick
north crown
oh you're planning to use him as a dps huh
not bad, but I doubt u will have the gauge
north crown
you might want to consider replacing ssblue with rosa at that rate
nova imp
Hm? Rosa?
north crown
u still get EX buff, while being able to spam her TM for gauge if you get lucky
north crown
also her TM works similarily to Skyla's pots cuz iirc, 1/5 Rosa gets 2 MPR2s
grand trout
Rosa naurr
north crown
She’s sp atk
moreso focsued on her tm that fills gauge
nova imp
Alright
north crown
also quadqueue wouldn't be an issue
lemme double check rq
ok yeah her 1/5 grid is busted for her tm
north crown
nah, just her 2 MPR2s
(Time To Energize! Move Point Refresh 2)
Since there's 2, it works just like Skyla's full grid potions in the fact that they have the potential to infinitely regenerate. In Rosa's case, this means infinite gauge.
@nova imp I forgot to sent a minimal grid. Here it is: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=009700005900&s0=5&l0=140&r0=6&p0=0&a0=18040702&t0=4444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDRAaHB8iJCYoKg&v1=000403049400&s1=4&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFCgwPEBEUFhcaHR4hKw&v2=002103014500&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=24010201&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhAaGx0mKSst
actually forget that grid
there we go
gl
grand trout
Hm?
nova imp
Nothing is working
grand trout
What stage, and why?
nova imp
can u pls read a lil up
I think I’ll just poison stall
And I’ll figure out another team
mellow linden
You can just run multiple Poison stall teams
north crown
lemme make a list of all the possible team u can try
grand trout
can u pls read a lil up
That doesn't answer the why. What doesn't work exactly? Not enough damage? Wiped out too soon?
Knowing why allows us to fix whatever is wrong
north crown
@nova imp Who's the other E4 member that hasn't been fought?
north crown
I wanna save ss morty for blue
I think I found a strat that might work..? It's super sus. Do you want:
- Safe Route for R3 Lance
- Risky Route for R3 Lance
- Other E4 member for R3
nova imp
That doesn't answer the why. What doesn't work exactly? Not enough damage? Wiped...
I can’t kill before sync
nova imp
<@490928444889366539> Who's the other E4 member that hasn't been fought?
I’ve fought Bruno and Agatha
north crown
answer 1, 2, or 3 pls
north crown
ok Lorelei is literally a freebie dw
nova imp
Alright
north crown
ok nvm I don't have to worry about saving BPMorty, so let's do it
north crown
get his ass to 3/5 and grid him for synchro healing, TM MPR, and Pot stuff
north crown
Also I might be getting my variety unit
don't need it
nova imp
get his ass to 3/5 and grid him for synchro healing, TM MPR, and Pot stuff
To use where?
nova imp
Alright, if that doesn’t work we try poison stall
north crown
ok that's slightly dissapointing
the only bad poison applier u got is Lucy, so let's use her
BPMorty, Lucy, Janine
north crown
what is it?
nova imp
I used last week to clear lorelei
north crown
I used last week to clear lorelei
do u realize that the teams are different each week?
nova imp
north crown
oh taht team
nova imp
do u realize that the teams are different each week?
duh
north crown
it's not gonna work against Lance cuz he's mostly physical
nova imp
True
north crown
and grass is stupidly easy for f2p so we'll stall Lance
north crown
u can either fish for pot mpr with Skyla, or go get BPMorty for an relatively easier time
nova imp
and grass is stupidly easy for f2p so we'll stall Lance
I don’t have ss Erika or Brendan
Just saying
north crown
doesn't matter
Rosa, Silver, Blaine is a f2p staple team that was always able to clear at least 2.5k points on every grass weak stage
north crown
oh shoot we might be in trouble cuz of r4 param
nova imp
Instead of Blaine
north crown
oh yeah ssmorty
nova imp
oh shoot we might be in trouble cuz of r4 param
Effects last longer
north crown
waitaminute I thought u crossed him out
nova imp
Should I do r3 for Lorelei then?
nova imp
waitaminute I thought u crossed him out
Yeah but I can use blue then
Instead of him
Works right?
Eh I’ll figure it out
So I do r3 lance or Lorelei?
north crown
oh red is saving for Blue? ic
north crown
I think it's a bit redundant to put a supp ex for them since you want Zerena to sync anyways
north crown
doesn't proton do basically the same thing?
nova imp
Proton is sp atk and sp def
north crown
and crit
nova imp
Yeah
north crown
and his passive, Proton's Plan, fills gauge like crazy
nova imp
Anyways what team would work against Lorelei then?
nova imp
and his passive, Proton's Plan, fills gauge like crazy
Sucks for quad queuing though
north crown
rosa, silver, blaine
nova imp
Or ss morty?
north crown
the problem is:
yeah or ssmorty
the problem is that the team would like to presync by quadqueuing, but r4 params stops them from doing so cuz shields' duration suck.
we might have to poison stall Lance on r4 instead
nova imp
Ok só lorelei it is
north crown
rosa silver sun go
I'll try to find a resource showcasing this strat in case u get stuck
OH WAITAMINUTE HOLD ON
since SSMorty is EXed, u can probably replace Rosa with a max SpAtk buffer for more damage
north crown
SSElesa can max SpAtk at 1/5, but you only get one MPR2 node for X SpAtk All
north crown
I think silver buffs himself
is ur silver powerboosted?
nova imp
This is as far as I’ve gotten
Here
north crown
ok ofc u died it's Lyra, also I'm retty sure u let the enemy sync
nova imp
Yeah I was doing post sync
north crown
presync is the way to go with silver
north crown
hey.. what if we combined strats and replaced Rosa with Elio? we might be able to snag a few extra Solar Beams with Elio's boosted sing procs in r3
same +4 SpAtk buffs too, better cuz it's in 1 turn
and we don't have to worry about supp EX since SSMorty
he also acts as a gauge booster cuz passives
nova imp
Do I need to grid Elio? He’s 1/5
north crown
Not really. He doesn't have anything to boost sing's acc. Only Troublemaker 1 Lucky Skill.
north crown
If u got no LS, dw as iirc you are still working with 90% acc cuz of r3 param
Elio: TM, Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing
nova imp
So I have to sleep chain?
north crown
not really, just sleep enough for Silver to fire off more Solar Beams
north crown
What is that
General CS move order
Mid, Right, Mid, Left, repeat. (1)
if opponent syncs:
Mid, repeat.
if opponent dies:
Queue goes to whichever side was next in (1), the alternates. repeat.
nova imp
Really? I didn’t know that existed
nova imp
So how does that help me
north crown
Anyways dw about sleeping every single move. As long as you stall enough for Silver to wipe the stage, it'll do.
north crown
So how does that help me
gives extra moves/time for Silver to fire off more SBs
nova imp
No no
Like how can I make use of move order?
wait
Does Elio put everyone to sleep?
Like Serena?
north crown
also first sync SSMorty, rest Silver. Make sure you use Sun on turn 2 to be able to guarantee sun until 2nd sync
north crown
Does Elio put everyone to sleep?
yes
nova imp
Ok thank god
north crown
after Elio's TM spam sing on whoever's next on move order
north crown
normally I wouldn't recommend Elio for sleep cuz 45 acc, but r3 boosts this to 90
nova imp
acc?
north crown
He doesn’t put everyone
good; arguably that's even better here
nova imp
Ah
nova imp
normally I wouldn't recommend Elio for sleep cuz 45 acc, but r3 boosts this to 9...
What?
Round 3
north crown
the only purpose of Elio spamming sing is to give Silver more time to fire off Sbs. I thought I told you this
nova imp
Lowers stats if ally dies
north crown
yeah r3 = round 3
nova imp
Lowers stats if ally dies
That’s round 3
north crown
oh nvm I'm a dumb
wait did Nov just edited their message?
oh my god I'm on the verge of suing them
anyways now that the gameplan has changed, u can try this team now; same strat.
if u want max spatk in trade for sleep, u can pick up SSElesa instead of Elio now that quadqueue is possible
tho idk if you know how to quadqueue
north crown
lemme find that bot command
north crown
oh nvm - yeah it's annoying
ig use the Elio team variant as a safety net against lack of quadqueue, and you should be able to presync comfortably at 2.5k
idk about 3k points tho
nova imp
I’m doing 2.6
north crown
should be good then, unless. you fuck up your options
do you want a suggested move order?
nova imp
Sure
north crown
Sure
Turn 1: TM, TM, TM
Turn 2: Sun, SB, Sing
- whatever, SB
Turn 3: TM, SB, Sing
- SSMorty SYNC, SB
Turn 4+: whatever, SB, Sing
- whatever, SB
Setup 2nd Sun whenever you need to in the "whatever spots", then Silver 2nd SYNC ASAP, followed by ONLY SB and Sing spam.
SB = Solar Beam
TL;DR: buff, then cycle SB and Sing
nova imp
Weren’t we going for ss elesa?
north crown
if u want to
north crown
you can probably just figure that out urself since it's more straightforward
literally cuts Elio's team's move order list in half
nova imp
Got lucky with rng
Worked, thanks
Now it’s poison stallin’ time
Hey
You said I should use bp morty instead of misty right
For Lorelei?
nocturne pawn
bp morty is more consistent cuz he has 2 mp for tm vs 1
but psyduck also has gradual healing on tm
nova imp
Evasion
nocturne pawn
evasion is not reliable
i guess the logic is that lorelei is exclusively special
but still id just run morty
nova imp
Got it
nova imp
Alright thanks
God damn it
I spent all my cookies and didn’t get vigilance
And now I’m suffering
How do I get more cookies right now?
Or vigilance
north crown
BV (which passed), or LG
plush tangle
there are some cookies in the current eevee event too
nova imp
BV (which passed), or LG
BV?
Also no lg right now unfortunately
I should’ve grinded that more
silver dirge
Battle Villa
nova imp
there are some cookies in the current eevee event too
Only 3 and they’re expensive
nova imp
Well how do I clear without vigilante?
silver dirge
Yea you gotta farm em on LG if you want to stock up
north crown
Well how do I clear without vigilante?
clear what? r4 poison stall?
silver dirge
If you have BP Clemont he's got built in vigilance iirc. But natural crits should hopefully be pretty rare anyway
nova imp
clear what? r4 poison stall?
Yeah
silver dirge
That's weird did you switch to poison stall params?
silver dirge
Ah Lance uses Dire Hit All, you indeed should not poison stall that stage without a vigilance tank
silver dirge
Might work since they only use physical moves but the right side has Earthquake which could crit your other two pairs
Give it a shot and see
fluid vessel
Li... Literally how
nova imp
That would be perfect
nova imp
Li... Literally how
??
toxic cobalt
It looks like a perfect run
nova imp
huh
toxic cobalt
Bad potion MPr?
nova imp
I put max I think
Skyla weak to rock
That’s why she’s so feeble here
And I got no other choice
toxic cobalt
Skyla usually tanks it anyway
nova imp
I put max I think
Just checked, it is
Should I ex her or something? Lmao
I mean I was thinking of ex-ing proton, then the variety unit id get, then ss red
north crown
you could try using both BPMorty and Skyla
supp EX doesn't really change poison stall strats
also you get more chances on having infinite pots
downaide is: no debuffs
or if you really want to test your luck, try Misty, Lucy, BPMorty and rely on evasion luck
@nova imp I typed more poison stall options above
nova imp
Alright
north crown
there is another strat that might work, howveer I'm not so sure about it
you can opt to flinch, but flinch also negates poison damage so
nova imp
I wish I had a good steel type
Wouldn’t need to go through this pain
Even Steven would do damn
Such a small amount of steel types…
north crown
I wish I had a good steel type
solgaleo is a good steel DPS unit; you just need better units to support it and/or dual dps
toxic cobalt
Not sure Steven is better than Solgaleo. Really don't know why your Solgaleo Hop team didn't work.
old orchid
Steven's sync is better than non power boosted Solgaleo's
Other than that Solgaleo has better dps
old orchid
rotund lagoon
Me who never used my Steven: 
tired sleet
Only at higher move levels though
His Haymaker is at 1/5
Wait nvm solgaleo is still stronger 
(Since Sol is 5/5, has Sync tiles, and has a full power sync)
tired sleet
Even without sync tiles sol does more
fiery canopy
aight lets teambuild for this week
- lorelei-adaman/ss erika/ss acerola
- agatha-nc marnie/penny/anyone
- bruno-ss lana/aaron/anyone
- lance-solagaleo/hop/sonia
- blue-ingo/emmet/anyone
fiery canopy
ik i dont neeeeed em but i may as well tack em on
no point in Not doing it
nocturne pawn
just run a second defense debuffer
hop and sonia have complete buff overlap
it is redundant to run both on the same team
nocturne pawn
also does nothing
solgaleo has full offensive set up with his tm
so you want to focus on augmenting his damage with debuffs and/or field effects
fiery canopy
any recs
nocturne pawn
i already said a second defense debuffer
fiery canopy
i mean like specific units
eternal matrix
fiery canopy
hmm
colress lowers def
omg u sent that just as i was typing lol
north crown
isn't he your average def debuffer in this team comp? I'd eather they go for someone like Nanu, as they can provide semi-consistent flinches after debuffing
fiery canopy
not to worry i already finished the cs for this week lol
trail smelt
Colress was great haha
Most painless Steven victory I had, and that’s counting all the previous non 3k CS

Getting used to the 3k now i just feel we need more presets cuz am tired of switching parameters around

I have 3 presets and one do whatever set

i have physical, special, mix and offtype, but a few more would be nice

i never do presets. i hit reset every time i enter a new battle and enter my params manually, just in case 
silver dirge
i never do presets. i hit reset every time i enter a new battle and enter my par...
Legit same

I make custom parameters on slot 1 for every stage
Because team comps require different stuff anyway
hazy tusk
i never do presets. i hit reset every time i enter a new battle and enter my par...
Bro why
swift swan
Bro why
just in case
also teams are getting more and more personalized especially with 3k so barely any of my teams will have the exact same preset. plus i like to test different damage dealers so i need to keep readjusting my params
hazy tusk
_just in case_
I'm pretty sure the game doesn't have secret gremlins that change your params while you sleep 
tired sleet
I have preset slots but i always reset them
silver dirge
I make a preset for something but as soon as the slightest param needs changing I hit the reset button and start from scratch
old orchid
you guys making presets?
sick inlet
I have preset slots but i always reset them <:WEEZing:732044368554229892>
I used to have presets till i accidentally messed up one then I decided screw them all c:
Idk what is what anymore haha

mellow linden
Can build a team around:
-
NC Marnie for Agatha.
-
A. May for Bruno.
-
MC + Solgaleo or K. Grimsley for Lance.
-
Brendan or SS Erika for Lorelei.
-
SS Diantha for Blue.
And be fine. Make sure to follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines and make sure to properly triple queue. Also try to use 9-12 unique types (Sync Move type) across your 5 teams for type medal.
zealous karma
the team that is shown you are using does not have the best of synergy as diantha and may both like to be on their own seperate teams,
Diantha is great at aiding all rock damage dealers (and also a good unit to be paired with any physical DPS)
while Animay has a much more special and psychic ally supporting kit
rich needle
Ehem
zealous karma
for example animay is an amazing partner for Gio I assume this is not master mode so you may want to focus on medals
