That means you're basically halfway done! nice!
Just be wary of the more niche types too. 
I have whole 2 ground types. 3star at that. Im sure ill be able to finish it in time 
Lance fight wil add 2 more
well, the idea with lackluster types is you carry them with a stronger one
as long as you win and register the type it doesn't matter
I forgot about this from yesterday 
how does SS gladion work? Im thinking of doing his battle as the 3rd battle to take advantage of the sp atk reduction
then since there are 3 ??? and you said the ??? can be SS blue or shauna, the last ??? would be who? I see a suggestion for either hop or hau so which is preferred?
click TM, click move, click bmove (you can wait to use the bmove until after EX support)
depends on the damage dealer's needs on that team
giovanni, allister, and ss gladion
ideally you want to debuff target's spatk to max before using his B Move
idk what does allister do tbh 
in the 3rd battle thats the battle effect
both teams get fully reduced sp atk
That’s what not it is
it just sets up Light Screen at the start
It’s light screen for both sides
wtf 
this is for Gladion's B Move damage multiplier
ok so for the 3rd battle I should really be using a physical team>
Any time it has a round of starts with physical/special damage reduction it’s just reflect/light screen
It doesn’t matter
Crits bypass screens
critical hits bypass those screens
and you always want to be critting anyway
so based on the comps I was suggested
allister and mc torchic are just there to fulfill the ghost and fire pair requirement?
usually for this it's fine to off type yeah?
Allister is a ghost, it's a ghost weak stage. MC Torchic provides buffs.
Offtyping is fine, just harder
so I decided to form the teams in the in game teambuilder thing
so the teams are looking like
Lance: Skyla, Cyrus, Sabrina
Karen: Viola, SS Gladion, SS Blue
Koga: Sycamore, ghetsis, hapu
Will: Allister, MC Torchic, Hop
Bruno: Roxanne giovanni Elio
are these all ok? Im more concerned with with actually clearing than to fill in all the 18 types
I lose out on electric, grass, normal, fighting, dark, and poison
If you haven't got any types already, you can't do all 18 anyway
I dont have any progress yet
Try those teams then!
aight and please don't be mad

smh Aurochs terrorising people 
kidding ofc, he's not mad (hopefully)
your teams look good, give em a shot & can always come back if you get stuck somewhere 
CHAT WE'RE GOING TO KALOS 3K NEXT

NOOOO MY THEMED CLEARS
i was just having fun......
kalos is next? fun's over, time to bring out the big guns
Allons-y
kalos CS means malva's rave music is BACK 
Kalos is back? yikes

4 weeks of Kalos eh
i'll be real i barely remember kalos's gimmicks aside from fairy-weak drasna and her dragon zone
okay yeah its only for 4 weeks hmm
I only remember sentry entry x2 rock malva bc that stage is such a joke lol
4 weeks is strange, they def cooking something, paldea might be next and they want it to be 5 weeks so they cut 1 week from kalos
Sonia/SS Brock/Grant can clear her 2.5k with a little bit of flinch shenanigans
And probably could still at 3k
2 Bug Weak Siebolds
sigh
Oh wait that's grass
2 electric siebold just means SST Red sheningans xD
looks good i guess o/
oh Siebold is Sentry Entry x2
nope
This bout to get interesting
well maybe except Malva for 3k points.
Was Kalos difficult
It's the most recent out of all CS
Hoenn and kalos are considered the hardest stadiums
Sinnoh too
Hmm I don't remember Kalos well
But I would personally put it as 2nd or 3rd hardest
Maybe i wasn't traumatized
How many points do you strive for?
I always do 3k duos, that won't change with Kalos either
I would shamelessly plug but Johto boring
Kalos and Hoenn are filled with entryx2 and wtz
hum. okay i think this should be good for next week o_o
Oh yeah the entryx2 talon flame
The only thing i remember
Which i still beat with the entryx2 thing
Yeah because rock weak malva is a joke
Base 17k hp makes X2 entries irrelevant
She gets oneshot by Olivia sync so easily it's genuinely sad
my best team for it is SST Red, Holiday Whitney and Holiday Jasmine o/
yeah it was sstr stage
healthy advantage (even though that gets bypassed by b move anyway) and towering force + tough cookie
Most Kalos fall apart so long as you beat their zone
should be Field if they follow Strike -> Tech -> Support -> Sprint -> Field pattern
ugh
Hey guys, all good?
Can I do 3k here with this team? Thank you
you can, just change Viola to a speed support
Yeah, Viola doesn’t contribute very much to the team, so definitely run a gauge Support and/or Defense debuffer instead
Oh, maybe Skyla?
Thank you
Sure
Oh, she doesnt have debuffer
Maybe N reshiram tô speed and debuff?
To*
Well I did say “gauge Support and/or Defense debuffer”
So just a gauge Support is fine
Congrats!
Ah kalos, poma version of Vietnam

I should prepare my team for the Fire CS. Same as CS reset on Monday.
Is there a reason why there isn’t a kalos weak for the last week of April if we know? Is there gonna be a new staduium or something else?
There is no confirmation on that, but a new stadium is a possibility
I wouldn't call 2 days a week tbh
those dates can be seen as the next month already in terms of CS, which would see a new rotation regardless of being a new region or not anyway
I haven't even checked the date 
Monday 29th so yeah, not a week lol
Oh shit SC Irida can actually nuke mid with the intended debuffs now since no impervious bs
What's the difficulty spike from 2500 to 3k?
And can I one shot mid with SCIrida 3/5 without smun and ghost zone
usually if the monday is still in the old month then it should count as an extra week for that CS, this is the 1st time they cut out a week like that
so I'm thinking they might add that week to May for Paldea CS so it could have 5 weeks instead of 4
hmm, first time? interesting, inb4 is some weird thing for Galar
Idk about one shot but she can very good damage without smun/ghost zone
But yeah 3/5 probably one shots the stage no problem
Ghetsis and Hala are both super slow right?
1/5 with supp EX. One Bitter Malice + Sync damage, 3k points
Gah damn that hits HARD
Yup
3/5 might actually one shot huh
It will
Yeah 1/5 Lvl 150 EXR
Ah okay. Mine isn't caked up 
Just take out the sides with b move sync mid
Her b move is like a 2nd and 3rd sync at your disposal
What about this? Since Hala hit harder the slower he is will it be harder to use the team?
What's Hala's move level?
3
He'll do fine even if you raise his spd
And neither is EX
Bring a crit support + gauge support
I used Skyla
But my other support was EXd (Grusha)
Ywah I was thinking of Skyla too before I read that lower speed = more dmg
Just checked, don't have grusha
What 3rd support can you bring with Hala + Skyla?
No i didn't mean you should check just that my support was EXd
Need crit support yeH?
Yeah
Also for psychic type does SSLusa, Bianca/Sbrina, tank works?
Although I idk whether you wanna spend both Red's TMs to buff crit
Just do TM+Dire Hit on Hala
Use one of Red's TMs after first sync
What points did you select other than the basic 2500 pre set?
Strike pair damage x3
No stat reduction (Will has Impervious)
Can't change WTZ
STR 2
Hey i meant tech pair damage x3
Don't pick strike x3
I thought u said strike x 3 coz you kill them before they hit you LOL
In fact you don't need Misty at all, that's just who I used cause +2 evasion. But you can use other pairs if you have them built already.
Okay
bp janine has evasion on tm and spatk buffs
What do I use on irida? I got 5 super duper effective in a row, no CS2 in 30 rerolls.
Cs1 prolly. When next legendary gauntlet event happens make sure to farm crunchy cookies 3, u can get literally an infinite amount of them ,just keep resetting
What team are you using, and what parameters are you running?
I have this, and trying this parameters
Um trying the First one
Im*
Dragonite with this stupid crit shield

It happens
So the 50-point Physical Damage Reduction and 50-point Special Damage Reduction parameters are free points with a proper team, since those just set Reflect and Light Screen (which are ignored by critical hits). No Status Conditions, Interference Immunity, and No Stat Reductions would also be free points for your current team specifically since you aren’t running any pairs who’re reliant on any of those 3 things
That adds up to 300 free points, so you could get rid of Max HP 8 (the biggest reason you’re struggling) and run those + Max HP 2 (or Attack & Sp. Atk. 3) to fill that 400 points
I forget to show this one
Ah
xD
Well Max HP 8 and Sync Countdown -1 are the biggest reasons you’re struggling
Oh
You should generally try to avoid -X Sync Countdown parameters unless you’re running a “KO on 1st Sync” type of team, and Max HP 8 is way too much
-1 Sync Countdown also means Lance uses Crit Shield 1 turn sooner
Support do u prefer ssmorty or Jasmine ampharos for this one?
Could replace Sync Countdown -1 with Interference Immunity since your team isn’t reliant on it, and replace Max HP 8 with a combination of Max HP 4 and some offensive parameters
Ok
Regarding this, I think you’ll generally be fine either way
Tyvm again
First 15k

lmao Cyrus + Lucas be ballin'
Just want to be sure, giving the enemy Gradual Healing counts as them having a status change right?
it should be
yes it would disable acute senses
First time I reach the 15k
The ice and bug stage was difficult for me, but with a lot of debuff and rng😅 I got this
I choose on everyone full attack and no hp/def
ew ground weak diantha next week?
Courtney gaming
1/5 courtney let's go
Still works lmao
i think diantha is the hardest champion of any region
i swear to god all of her stages are varying levels of ass
Diantha just loves to have multiple stat buffs, and they gain her Damage Up or Sync Damage up sigh
i think most of the Kalos E4 members also have some form of if i have buffed stat, i make it painful for the opponents ;_;
take this to mainline game debate i dare you 
but yeah she is the hardest champion for sure
Will be a nice change of pace after Johto
Cynthia and Steven don't even come close

Me too, if you can't do themes I don't think I'll be able to
get creative, make themes with actually strong pairs 
well at least we're only 4 weeks of Kalos kuku
do we know the coin for kalos
true, that's called 4k offtype, which basically means using the same 5 teams every week 
id rather it not be field and be tech
Field Coin
so it does go in order then
sad but not surprising
on the other hand im fairly close to a second sprint candy
so if i ever get one thats not named archer i could 3/5 them
i'll get my Field Candy soon thanks to CS o/
i believe in you 
except Poison weak
||did you watch the run on Palmer? The 2nd one? Sorry unrelated but||
yes i did
very cool gameplay
yeah poison weak is just a fuck ton of hp
what
Geeta gaming lets go 😮
Flying weak too
oh thats with strength
i thought you meant 40k hp base
but yeah kalos cs has higher hp than normal like across the board with very few exceptions
Yeah yeah yeah with params but still
Johto is less than Wikstrom's base with params
man electric weak siebold used to be the worst cs stage for me
for a really long time
its so annoying
I'm gonna be running SST Red there ;o~
even with elesa it sucked
with Holiday Whitney o/
cuz you have to get paralysis to do any damage
oh his stage is designed for Sonia
and sonia was liable to get rng’d by surf
skill issue
i mean special move hits hard
yes
i swear i haven't seen him using that move ever
Slo-mo tho
Yeah SST is free win
barely matters when you’re a 2 gauge dps
but like she is in the recommended team fwiw
but it was designed around sst’s aoe paralysis
and def drop
cuz they all have healthy advantage and tough cookie
It feels so weird to go from 0-2 passives on Johto stages to a whole list of passives
koga:
Next week will be type medal week for me, but I'm excited for this region
you wont be after the first week
at least you don't have to experience Head Smash spam in MM weeks
oh yeah ground weak diantha is the worst
this should do it for Siebold o/
Why not go full sync nuke with shocking slowdown?
SST Red's partner for this battle is Holiday Whitney
Drops AoE Speed as long as Whitney is attacking in E-Terrain
(and buffs AoE Speed for the team too)
Ohhh
the dream

when i can get that, then i too can aim for 100k gems saved
hahaha
gonna think about how to offtype diantha i suppose
I don't know if other will agree, but 4k offtype is easier than running wacky teams with themes
i can see it. themes tend to be more restrictive
The OP pairs handle 4k offtype pretty easily
i'm still planning my teams for Week 191 Kalos CSMM kuku...
wow
i guess if you're not planning to pull anything coming, then yeah it makes sense lol
pomatools should have every round's moves and skills up too right?
ye
sweet
you’re very lucky btw cuz its not locked to post sync he can just use it whenever
Do you have Kalos medal?
that's where i spent all my gacha luck on
Yeah same for me
Omg @nocturne pawn are you the one who hates elec Siebold
We have 2 this month 🫠
I mean i under
Understand
Even with my cracked units there are still stages i have a hatred for
Like tighten/toughen up koga
Geeta:

her Blueberry team is no joke, mind you 
Yes but her first in game team is every bit a trainwreck
What kind of corpo boss gives a bad impression smh
she is completely incapable
“I am utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles”
And she doesn’t lead with Glimmora

I didnt update how this went but it all went well
managed to clear my 1st champion stadium hard mode
Nice. Now try for MM. 4.2k should be double if you can already clean HM.
If you need help, you can always ask here.
Parameters look okay, are you triple queuing consistently?
Your counter is at 5 when they're syncing, something is off
Except that I dont have the 6 other types cleared 😔
Next week is kalos no?
I hope the progress I made was not for naught and it carries over when johto appears again
??
What should it be at??
Yeah, look at the sync buffs. It's at 3. I already synced twice before opponent get to sync.
Volcarona is 1/5 so maybe that's why I lost?
Ah 
Is Burgh gridded for crit buffs?
Wait let me show u Burgh's grid
ohhh nvm I forgot to grid Burgh 
I thought I did LOL
Are you sure you ran those same paramters in the actual battle? I'm surprised you took a sync from them with all that offense and still have full health on Alder & Burgh
Unless that's their first sync?
I didnt take the sync. The sync one shots everyone
That'll do it
Right okay
The sync hit right after the screenshot was taken
Yeah makes sense 
"Moments before disaster"
A gridded burgh will get you there
Alder is 1/5 yeah?
ye
And Burgh?
3/5
You should likely just focus on alder over burgh tbfh
Burgh
wdym by focus on adler?
Teambuild wise
So remove Burgh?
Dropping Burgh to focus on Alder would do the trick too
Your progress will carry over rest assured. Next time you'll only need to get the 6 missing types to unlock MM.
But you're close, a gridded Burgh sync will get you there if you want to go for this team
That too
okay cool. Who do I use?
If I get to save sync orbs I'm more than happy to change the team
Like what kind of unit to use instead
I don't have a bug zone
This one good?
Yeah this works
okay
Okay so I just got another realization... I don't have lucky skills on either Burgh or Adler LOL
No wonder I been losing
I don't have any of the CS2 cookies. Is it possible without lucky skills?
Yes
okay cool
Surf kills everyone.
Am I not supposed to hit the middle with the sync?
and the sync doesn't crit sometimes so that's annoying
Oh of course he's not EX'd, my bad. Does the sync comfortably KO the mid?
You could chip sides with some Bug Buzz/Hyper Beams before your sync
Yeah when it crits it's around 9k dmg
*10.5k
Mofo survived the sync at 1hp and the hyper beam got wasted on it 🥲
OMFG
I died
I don't even know what happened. I somehow survived the surf but panicked and hit struggle bug instead of hyper beam.
Any idea how or why I survived that surf? I might be able to win if I can do that again. Adler and Burgh both survived at around 10% hp
Turn on the HP Percentage, so you can calculate your damage better
What's that?
It just shows the HP in percentages, pretty self explanatory. Its in Poryphone Menu > HUD , same place as where you turn on Action Order Display
Oh. Is it something new they added?
Just added this update.
What about this?
I haven't survived any surf after this
The matches can be RNG, just keep trying.
Jokes on you it was 0
Imagine if it actually was 
I would've stopped doing CS
P.S. you actually made me double check whether it was actually 3k or not
This team fine?
it works
For dragon team I'm gonna use Zerena and Dialga, do I need a spd+crit unit there too?
Yeah crit would be nice to have around so Zerena can just start attacking after TM
We have HP percentages now?!!!
Aaron has crit on his TM. +2 I think.
Also A-Marowak has +3 crit on TM with 1 MPR.
Feebe has dire hit all +
Lastly Hop has +3 crit after 1 MPR. That's all from the previous ss
Leaf has Crit by grid, Melony has it on base, etc. Read their kits to see who can raise Crit
Yeah but it's +1 not +2.
I'm using the half mp debuff
Doesn’t Zerena only need 1…?
yeah she has dh+
She can do TM, Dire Hit, Thousand Waves
but thats really slow tbh
I think it’ll be fine, as long as it isn’t two Dire Hits
I setup my Zerena with that rotation all the time 
Literally turn 2
Guzma is good now, no way
bigger nuke 😮
Hey everyone I need help again after sometime
What was the thing used to show sync pairs list
High base attack stat, easy to set nuke, it got a pretty good grid expansion
And a self sufficient way to ramp up pin missile too
No quarter + physical boost 2 goes kinda hard
Yeah he's fun
I did some runs for fun last week
Ramping is really really nice with him
He can actually perform Vs max hp with some str
And Vs high STR no hp he can denial right side with impression which is fun
Heyyy sooo this team isn't really working... All three are gridded.
what's your parameters?
Sonia ruins quad queue when she gets hit, and the team doesn't need double support. Tanking with Leaf and gridding her Adrenaline to ensure quad queue are advised
If you want to keep the same team
Will another team be better? I barely did any damage
The sync did like 9k I think
Hala don't have CS2
Does Hala have Haymaker gridded?
Uh gimme a sec
Personally i would pick Interference Immunity and Atk up 5, and take off defense up 1 and max hp up 2
The team has no issue taking non sync attacks
Yeah it's the sync that kills everyone. Unless they got sludge wave or something
If you don't want to rely on 1/1 Potion MPR chance, can take off half MP and pick max HP
Hala should presync just fine with the right parameters, his nuke is great
I'm using this grid
I just realized I got all the sync tiles and still did so little dmg LOL
Might be a non crit
NO way I got the unlucky 20% 
Look I had +3 crit
That happens more than you think 
Maaan that annoying.
Sync has innate -1
restart and try again o/
it happens xd
Also is there low roll/high roll?
Like sometimes random aoe hits take me down pre sync
And sometimes I survive off 5% hp
Why does Sonia mess up sync queue??
Because she has a passive which can trigger when she is hit
Ah okay.
Is it me or is my team unable to quad queue? I've done like 7-8 resets now and opponent somehow manages to get in the move queue before sonia even uses her sync.
dont grid leaf’s entry shield passives
those also prevent quad queue
okay
And tank with Leaf instead, like i told you earlier
okay
Actually, just grid Adrenaline on Leaf grid and sync with her first
but she's not EX
okay
I don't have it
That passive is from the stage gimmick or whatever it's called
The Round 3 "passive"
You can try kill left side mon
so in this case id just sync with hala first
if its set at the beginning of the battle it will expire as you queue your sync
allowing the enemy to queue their own move
not on her grid
thats generally what i do with him
you lose slow windup 1 but thats only 10%
First sync using Eevee with adrenaline helped me get to two syncs
Then two aoe in a row killed
Surf and air cutter
Some flying aoe
OMG 1% 1V1 
Hala is way better than I expected 👀
Well done!
Which E4 remaining?
What's E4?
Elite 4
Yeah
I tried using Lucian, SSLusa, zamazenta earlier
ISTG if Lucian had aoe sync he would've onbe shot the whole thing
Why Zamazenta? Ex sync?
Yes but hang around just in case
Ohhh I thought it's another pair 
Lmao
I used Sonia too earlier but now since I've already used her can use her no more. Zamazenta basically for crit buffs and heals.
Since it was a spatk team I thought Sonia was a waste to use there.
Sabrina can do both those things
Then I tried using sabrina too but I can't seem to use her.
Yeah yeah I tried her too
I tried Sabrina, Bianca, sslusa
Tried this when the perma field was in effect.
Didn't really work out
Why do you need to buff crit
To save turns buffing Lusa
What for? What is she doing with those turns?
Idk. I thought it's supposed to be done like this.
I don't need a crit buffer??
To get a few more hits I guess??
Depends what you are doing
this team should work well enough
Getting hits before first sync won’t do much
tank with Bianca because she has better bulk than Sabrina
set up Reflect
and use Bianca's TM after Psychic Terrain to raise defense quickly
I though this team would have guage problems, no?
So do I set up terrain furst turn?
Oof
Don't take my word for it, I'm just asking Gakon
I think I'll have a to wait a bit. Gotta do a quick BV run. I don't have lucky skills on either Sabrina or Bianca.
Sabrina has Pep Rally on Reflect, and they can grid Bianca with Precognition for faster gauge generation
i don't think it's necessary
They work without lucky skills? No vigilance?
when Bianca gets sniped by nat crit, just reset
Take note of these, and psychic terrain mpr on Bianca
Okay. Do I set up terrain first turn?
Yeah setup terrain then use Bianca's TMs to double the buffs she gets
Is this Perma field round?
Nah this round 4
stat lowering effects have a greater effect are doubled I think.
That hit did 3500
did you check tech x3
either way if he queues close combat early you reset
You can take No Stat Reduction
don't pick defense up 1
Isn't round 4 all about stat reducctions?
nvm I dont think anyone even lowers stats on my team
And why you choose cant change Zone, weather or Terrain too
You can pick Sup x3
you can add some HP to make up for point loss
Yeah this could work too
I'm missing 50 points after removing tech x3 and wtz and adding support x3
Pick Max Sync Countdown -1
max hp 2 is the only one that looks doable
bruh you cant be serious
SSLusa should kill Bruno with no problem
just asking, have you added no stat reduction?
yeah
i didn't see you mentioning it, so asked just in case
yeah max hp 2 is the best option
yes, ofc
Then after adding hp 2 I go over 50 points so I can remove atk1??
or interference/stat condition gonna be better ti remove?
Remove atk better here
ok
You only have confusion form sabrina
That's not good enough? I can use On a roll or sometihng if she got that

Oh it's gonna be a looong day
What's the least lethal move on bruno?
What is your SS Lusa move level ?
You wanna avoid EQ and Close Combat
You can try kill him in 1 Sync + Move
I was thinkning of using M2 but setting him up gonna take forever
that doesn't matter in that team
okay so reset if EQ
Does your Lusa Ex ?
i don't think LuSSa is the better 3/5 than Zerena
Might be better for them to bring a physical tank instead. Or does Lusa absolutely need zone?
Oh wait it's done

gg ez
Nice
Sometimes the rng works so well xD
For Dragon I was thinking of Dialga, Zerena, Swanna.
WOrks?
Ofc
You can but keep in mind you'll also be powering up their Dragon type moves
Ah fuck. Should I not use dragon zone then?
Maybe use it right before I sync or somehting?
No do it, see how it goes
Just a heads up that they'll also hit kinda hard because of it
ok
how much harder is "kinda hard"?
50% harder?
There is phy dmg reduction at start of battle
I think
Everything except Lance's sync is special
Go try it out though. Zerena can clear regardless.
okay
So I removed the support x3(100) and added tech x3 and atk1
omg the sync was one shot
one shot wipeout
Zerena
She hits so hard!
Congratulations!
I don't get any rewards beyond 15k right?
15k is max rewards
cool. finally the suffering is over (saying this after one shot clear feels so pretentious)
This would work for hard, right?
Is your ghetsis and/or sycamore powerboosted? Ghetsis might want faster crit help
I'd go for Cyrus over Zinnia for Dragon
Roxanne provides almost everything sycamore gives already
For that group admittedly I was kinda at a loss, got it
Also Leaf is on two teams, which one will you be using her in?
If Leaf is 3/5 you can drop Falkner for Lucian to debuff special defense
I don't think I have him
This pair
But it's okay if you don't have him, not gonna be a problem
Yea I don't have that one
It's fine. Teams look good.
Looks good. There are some type overlaps though. You can switch Leaf out for Sycamore so he can fill in fairy. He syncs first, fulfills all of Cyrus's offensive needs
Kukui's for defense drops? Can replace with nanu for dark
and nanu can flinch
Mhm, though nanu has the advantage of -2 def and most of the time it's the mid that matters
I didn't see those messages, so I did the champion stadium
It's fine tho since last week someone helped me get 15/18 types and the remaining types were ghost, dragon, and psychic
Do you guys think I'm good for monday
good luck with farty
Kris does nothing for Silver or Nate outside of MP, Rain will disable Sand and nothing else she provides is useful
Replace with acyn?
sure
i dont really do this kind of stuff often cuz i don’t usually care for CS much but i wanted to give this a try
here’s a showcase of a 1/5, minimum investment volo with the permanent field effects parameter, 4k points, offtyping bug-weak karen with 3/5 ex ss gladion and 1/5 ex penny https://youtu.be/DPZCjbqiXX0?si=V1hcRK-V1V6jH705
i normally don’t do CS videos but i really wanted to see how volo did with the permanent field effects and wow is it funny. 4k points, shown in the video, this is a 1/5 fresh out of the box volo with 3/5 ex ss gladion and 1/5 ex penny. grid and ls: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=029300070000&s0=1&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=4444&g0=AAE...
needless to say, as the first pair who can set 8 different field effects on his own, he really likes the permanent field effect parameter
ignore the reset at the start bc of penny flinching 💀
I can count pixels
Not really 
Chile that was 2 weeks ago 😭
To add onto it, it’s still considered on type if you were per say using Gio shadow ball, so Gladion is in fact an always in type pair unless you never click tm
They don't suck, grab Cyrus' copies from Legendary Adventures first and get him 5/5
Ok did that, the other ones dont really do much tho
Unless im missing something
The turtle one heals ik is kinda helpful but not really since he gets one shoted
Ryuki you mean? He shouldn't be tanking.
Choose Cyrus, and build a team around him - have you had a read of the teambuilding guide in #1010307000346878062?
Your team does not need to be, and should not be, monotype. Cyrus is your central damage dealer, choose a tank
that also helps his buffs. 3rd pair is flexible
Alright thanks for the info ill try to do that!
you can use Ryuki as the third to add more damage, or bring a spdef debuffer like Lucian to improve Cyrus' output
Lucian and lucario?
i was referring to this guy, but Cynthia & Lucario work perfectly well as the tank
is Lucario (SSA Cynthia) 3/5?
Riley doesn't help Cyrus tho
Can i maybe dm you my sync pairs and you suggest me who to use
Use Cyrus Roxanne and Elio
No, just send them here
We don't do helping in DM, sorry
Aurochs already suggested this team. You can replace Elio with a crit buffing support to skip Critical Focus tile on Cyrus' grid
@old orchid 😄
congrats
Cyrus carried
https://twitter.com/murasame_poke/status/1773941481205887352 haha what the heck
there was a clear with dps iono and eggmons all at lvl
how do people plan these clears out
wait its prolly an alt
but that would require spending money on an alt just for the bit
Very carefully
So beautiful
Strong value
PR155 is an alt? 
someone found Aurochs JP alter ego account it seems
hmm, ok, maybe not, they are EX'd 
Did not see thaat
Well offtype definitely justifies the triple limited
But I prefer triple lvl 1 ontype with 2 eggmons
It's more satisfying
Guzma dealing 60k on sync, tears in my eyes, i have waited for this for a long time
Forgot just how fun it used to be to use bp zinnia
She's really fun yea
Suffering time
wait i forgot it's a monday
Good think nov handles those things 
don't tell me u forgot to do CS for an entire week 
(
)
nah I do it first thing on monday dw
Someone caused a confusion
ah, forgot nov was is the one who handled the parameter pin
Alsom noticed the color of mods and helpers changed
you saw nothing

updated
Finally a somewhat interesting week
We starting off strong with Half Sync on 3k Kalos aye
ofc you'd like half sync on 3k kalos smh
I am the other gen 6 region's champion after all
Let's see if I can cheese Wikstrom on 4k pts. with half sync CD
First week of Kalos and we immediately got half sync 
First Kalos week went swimmingly, even if Diantha managed to barely survive HRoxanne’s sync and Siebold refused to be paralyzed.
Ah geez steel weak Diantha next week
And Selene releases on Sunday the final day
as long as she doesnt have Sentry Entry x 2, i think i'm okay xD
I know I just wanted to use her
Which type is better to pass the 2nd round?
The team you did R1 
Honestly
What move levels are Lusamine, NY Dawn & SC Irida? A strong sync with any of them + the right parameters should do the trick
But what is that psychic team
True. Why are Hop & Sycamore there
sycamore is for mga + spd + spatk buff probs
^
Give Lusamine a psychic terrain pair, an spDef debuffer or if those aren't available simply some alolan friends to boost MP. Kiawe comes to mind
shrug, I'm just saying what dude is probs thinking
mewtwo and sycamore still works for R2, though I had to bring in latias
for psychic I just went with luSSa, ss lana and nc rosa(I didnt put neither physical or special reduction 8, I just went with no stat reduction), it went well
though Im having issues on R2, malva and wikstrom are annoying
for malva I tried egg umbreon, sidney and piers, but sidney's sync couldnt kill chandelure
for wikstrom I tried victor, anni lillie and morty(mismagius), no luck either
did you turn off interference immunity? sidney needs confusion for his multipliers
this should work fine. what's the parameters?
@nocturne pawn you're right, Siebold elec should fuck itself right off
yes
hmm what are your parameters
R3 now
defeated siebold with hol-jasmine, sst red and nemona
do you need stat reduction? i don't remember that team debuffing anything important
no
turn that off. otherwise the team should work fine
though tbf piers isn't a good tank against malva since she's fully special
Wooo, my first ghost-weak week with H-zoroark. She really does do good murder.
I can't wait for the next rock weak week, so I can try ttar
yeah I replaced him with Ash's pasio gf(I forgot her name, the 4-star flareon girl)
Do you really have to refer to her like that
Who should I do for R2?
Whoever kills fast
Is it just me or the ghost stadium is hard?
Most Kalos stages have a gimmick
What’s the ghost gimmick?
You can check their gimmicks in PoMaTools -> Champion Stadium
Only reason it was hard for me is because SS Korrina wouldn’t Crit on sync LMAO
Oh do y'all want me to bring back the pinned gimmicks/counters? Forgot we're on Kalos
i wouldn't mind,but does that require you to rearrange pin order or is it fine to put the gimmicks on the very top of the pin?
I'll have to rearrange pin order
should probably keep the parameters+rounds up top
Lots of bonuses for having buffs.
Debuff that fool.
How about making a write up on that and tell Richu (
) to include in the weekly parameters write up? 
the write-up usually uses emojis that i can't access since i don't have nitro
You can include the link to Steven's write up


Agree, nitro aside I'm also usually at the character limit when I make them so it won't fit in your message
No worries I can readjust the stuff
@old orchid what is haze/ snatch… what pair has it?
You should give your tech pairs' kit a read
Grimsley, Brycen, Gladion-Lodge
Lear, ssKorrina, ssMisty
Sages i want to encourage them reading sob
~~SS Korrina is Spectral Thief
~~

well there's no way to filter for those effects, so it may have taken them a while
That’s my helper mod
Bp Morty, Caitlin and Bianca aren't doing much damage to Drasna
Runerigus and Grapploct have reset+
Remember ||year 1? When all enemy syncs had Haze built in?||
Yeah
She has bigger hp. But no mitigation. Lessen Flinch 5 if you want to exploit that.
Impervious was the holy grail of passives
Yeah when the game was bad
Imagine if they kept that as a mechanic
Better presync all content or die 
Sprint meta 
Ultimate Battle gimmick potential


That sounds awful
Cant wait for new UB have that gimmick
Ultimate battles are supposed to be a challenge.
And you just bring TM MPR tiles, so it's really not that bad.

Like... We have units who max stats just by existing. We have ways to deal with it now that we used to not.
release a unit with team impervious you cowards
You say that like people aren’t already complaining the shit out of current ubs
Anni 5 trust
A haze ub would be a huge step up in difficulty
Look at all the impervious, downside up, and good buffers we have
Doesn’t vkriss technically have that
Ok here’s the problem with that
As many units that have impervious it’s either in an awkward spot on grid or not worth sacrificing other stuff
Tm mpr resetting is cringe
Snatch and Haze are coded to reduce stats, so downside up just makes it raise stats.
It should not be required
Or just too little grid energy to grab it
Wtf kind of fight DO you people want?
If you don't want mechanics designed for you to be able to counter by using good team building, grids, and skills.
I don’t want a fight I need rng to win
It's boring to just "turn 1 max stats, spam one damage move".
Having to balance buffing properly for a single UB fight is a good challenge.
It’s not that hard
Then bring a unit with impervious
And if the idea is bring 3 really strong imperv
That isn’t a whole lot
It really isn’t
I technically could do it
I have Steven
I don't think you understand what UBs are supposed to be
Does anyone know why?
It’s boringly restrictive and isn’t cool to think about ways to clear
Grapploct has it because Topsy Turvey is it's gimmick in this game (instead of malamar, for some reason)
Yeah thats why i used morty
It's interesting and challenging. It's fun to come up with teams to counter a hard mechanic, as long as there are a variety of solutions and not just one unit that dictates victory ||like Moltres against Thorton/Articuno||
It’s not just one unit
It’s a very small pool
She’s a cheat code but so many people have done it without her
Oh I replied to the wrong message—
Whereas what units ACTUALLY have impervious
I meant to respond to mine
There isn’t a lot
Why does runerigus have the stat reversal mechanic...?
No idea, but it's a nice bonus to have! Makes her Cake Role for tech especially nice for AOE fights.
You can do thorton with anything
Hilda, right?
You cannot do a content that says imperv or reset
I replied to the wrong message
Ah, ok haha
Also if that thing happens to need you know actual stats to survive(or else it’s piss easy) it becomes obnoxious
How much did your sync do?
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Too much bulk I imagine
I didn't get to sync yet, I assumed it would fail to presync and reset
Like Caitlin sync is better, but not super high? I forget
I also have Giovanni of course
You don't have crit buffing
Caitlin can buff her own crit
Drasna also +2
Musharna, Reuniclus, and Mortmagius do not provide crit buffs to Musharna or Reuniclus.
So that team will suffer
Oh wait dasna enemy oop
But yeah caitlin has critical eye now
3/5 she’s good to go
You'll need MPR for t move crit eye to max Caitlin's crit but Bianca doesn't have any crit buffs
No?
Ah, her grid expansion gives her crit.
But ya, then Musharna is just... Setting psychic terrain and looking pretty?
She has stored power too
We love terrain in this house
Is your Bianca tanking? and morty is just flinching right
I'd probably run Alakazam/Musharna and a third, personally
Morty is tanking
