I have 8 in progress

north crown
#

That means you're basically halfway done! nice!
Just be wary of the more niche types too. ShaunaInvestigate

digital hawk
#

I have whole 2 ground types. 3star at that. Im sure ill be able to finish it in time skull

#

Lance fight wil add 2 more

paper summit
#

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

manic mica
#

I forgot about this from yesterday WEEZing

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?

swift swan
#

click TM, click move, click bmove (you can wait to use the bmove until after EX support)

swift swan
manic mica
old orchid
manic mica
#

idk what does allister do tbh WEEZing

manic mica
#

both teams get fully reduced sp atk

steel kelp
#

That’s what not it is

old orchid
#

it just sets up Light Screen at the start

steel kelp
#

It’s light screen for both sides

manic mica
#

wtf WEEZing

old orchid
manic mica
#

ok so for the 3rd battle I should really be using a physical team>

steel kelp
#

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

swift swan
#

and you always want to be critting anyway

manic mica
#

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?

toxic cobalt
#

Allister is a ghost, it's a ghost weak stage. MC Torchic provides buffs.

#

Offtyping is fine, just harder

manic mica
#

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

toxic cobalt
#

If you haven't got any types already, you can't do all 18 anyway

manic mica
toxic cobalt
#

Try those teams then!

manic mica
#

aight and please don't be mad RileyHaha HildaCry

silver dirge
#

smh Aurochs terrorising people PetrelWTF

#

kidding ofc, he's not mad (hopefully) SeleneLul your teams look good, give em a shot & can always come back if you get stuck somewhere WallyUWU

CHAT WE'RE GOING TO KALOS 3K NEXT lfgif lfgif lfgif

silver dirge
#

Wait actually?

paper summit
#

old news

#

time to throw hands with the french

swift swan
#

i was just having fun......

tardy belfry
#

kalos is next? fun's over, time to bring out the big guns

trail smelt
#

Allons-y

swift swan
#

kalos CS means malva's rave music is BACK WeezingLFG

undone ether
#

Kalos is back? yikes

swift swan
undone ether
#

4 weeks of Kalos eh

swift swan
#

i'll be real i barely remember kalos's gimmicks aside from fairy-weak drasna and her dragon zone

undone ether
#

okay yeah its only for 4 weeks hmm

main crow
#

I only remember sentry entry x2 rock malva bc that stage is such a joke lol

manic kiln
#

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

main crow
#

And probably could still at 3k

undone ether
#

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

grand trout
#

Omg kalos

#

Have we ever had kalos for 15k?

undone ether
#

nope

grand trout
#

This bout to get interesting

main crow
#

This is our first run

#

Gonna be fun

undone ether
#

well maybe except Malva for 3k points.

sick inlet
#

Was Kalos difficult

grand trout
#

It's the hardest one

#

Arguably

main crow
#

It's the most recent out of all CS

grand trout
#

Hoenn and kalos are considered the hardest stadiums

formal vigil
#

Sinnoh too

sick inlet
#

Hmm I don't remember Kalos well

main crow
#

But I would personally put it as 2nd or 3rd hardest

sick inlet
#

Maybe i wasn't traumatized

grand trout
#

How many points do you strive for?

sick inlet
#

I always do 3k duos, that won't change with Kalos either

#

I would shamelessly plug but Johto boring

left storm
undone ether
#

hum. okay i think this should be good for next week o_o

sick inlet
#

The only thing i remember

#

Which i still beat with the entryx2 thing

left storm
#

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

sick inlet
#

So

#

Kalos not big deal

left storm
#

Never was

#

Aside 1-2 stages

nocturne pawn
#

elec weak siebold was a mega pain in the ass

#

for me personally

undone ether
#

my best team for it is SST Red, Holiday Whitney and Holiday Jasmine o/

nocturne pawn
#

yeah it was sstr stage

#

healthy advantage (even though that gets bypassed by b move anyway) and towering force + tough cookie

toxic cobalt
#

Most Kalos fall apart so long as you beat their zone

nocturne pawn
#

also do we know what move coin this stadium is

#

or no

old orchid
#

should be Field if they follow Strike -> Tech -> Support -> Sprint -> Field pattern

steel kelp
#

Oh well

#

Guess I’m getting another field candy next month

nocturne pawn
#

ugh

wary fulcrum
#

Hey guys, all good?

Can I do 3k here with this team? Thank you

old orchid
#

you can, just change Viola to a speed support

mellow linden
#

Yeah, Viola doesn’t contribute very much to the team, so definitely run a gauge Support and/or Defense debuffer instead

wary fulcrum
mellow linden
wary fulcrum
#

Maybe N reshiram tô speed and debuff?

#

To*

mellow linden
#

Well I did say “gauge Support and/or Defense debuffer”

#

So just a gauge Support is fine

wary fulcrum
#

Ok, ill try

#

Thanks

#

@mellow linden we did it

mellow linden
#

Congrats!

wary fulcrum
#

Thank you

#

Now is time for Lance

versed meteor
#

Ah kalos, poma version of Vietnam

old orchid
devout sluice
#

I should prepare my team for the Fire CS. Same as CS reset on Monday.

turbid geyser
#

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?

old orchid
#

There is no confirmation on that, but a new stadium is a possibility

paper summit
#

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

old orchid
#

I haven't even checked the date CyrusSweat

paper summit
#

Monday 29th so yeah, not a week lol

main crow
#

Oh shit SC Irida can actually nuke mid with the intended debuffs now since no impervious bs

warped jungle
#

What's the difficulty spike from 2500 to 3k?

#

And can I one shot mid with SCIrida 3/5 without smun and ghost zone

manic kiln
#

so I'm thinking they might add that week to May for Paldea CS so it could have 5 weeks instead of 4

paper summit
#

hmm, first time? interesting, inb4 is some weird thing for Galar

lean lion
#

But yeah 3/5 probably one shots the stage no problem

warped jungle
#

Ghetsis and Hala are both super slow right?

lean lion
warped jungle
#

Gah damn that hits HARD

lean lion
#

Yup

warped jungle
#

3/5 might actually one shot huh

lean lion
#

It will

warped jungle
#

Was yours caked up?

#

Or just EX?

lean lion
#

Yeah 1/5 Lvl 150 EXR

warped jungle
#

Ah okay. Mine isn't caked up CyrusSweat

lean lion
#

Just take out the sides with b move sync mid

#

Her b move is like a 2nd and 3rd sync at your disposal

warped jungle
lean lion
#

What's Hala's move level?

warped jungle
#

3

lean lion
#

He'll do fine even if you raise his spd

warped jungle
#

And neither is EX

lean lion
#

Bring a crit support + gauge support

#

I used Skyla

#

But my other support was EXd (Grusha)

warped jungle
#

Ywah I was thinking of Skyla too before I read that lower speed = more dmg

#

Just checked, don't have grusha

lean lion
#

What 3rd support can you bring with Hala + Skyla?

lean lion
warped jungle
#

ah okay

#

My skyla is EX 👍

warped jungle
lean lion
#

Yes

#

So Hala can TM once and start dealing damage

warped jungle
#

ok

#

Red/snorlax works?

lean lion
#

Yeah

warped jungle
#

Also for psychic type does SSLusa, Bianca/Sbrina, tank works?

lean lion
#

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

warped jungle
lean lion
lean lion
#

Don't pick strike x3

warped jungle
#

I thought u said strike x 3 coz you kill them before they hit you LOL

lean lion
#

Nah just absent mindedness

#

Mb

lean lion
warped jungle
#

Okay

nocturne pawn
#

bp janine has evasion on tm and spatk buffs

warped jungle
#

What do I use on irida? I got 5 super duper effective in a row, no CS2 in 30 rerolls.

sonic blaze
wary fulcrum
#

I just cant beat Lance 3k, going crazy

#

Idk what am I doin wrong

mellow linden
#

What team are you using, and what parameters are you running?

wary fulcrum
#

I have this, and trying this parameters

#

Um trying the First one

#

Im*

#

Dragonite with this stupid crit shield

mellow linden
#

No, I mean the point parameters

#

As in what you’re using to hit 3k

wary fulcrum
#

Oh

#

Let me show u

#

Sorry

mellow linden
#

It happens

wary fulcrum
#

This

mellow linden
#

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

wary fulcrum
#

I forget to show this one

mellow linden
#

Ah

wary fulcrum
#

xD

mellow linden
#

Well Max HP 8 and Sync Countdown -1 are the biggest reasons you’re struggling

wary fulcrum
#

Oh

mellow linden
#

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

wary fulcrum
#

Support do u prefer ssmorty or Jasmine ampharos for this one?

mellow linden
#

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

mellow linden
wary fulcrum
#

First 15k

north crown
#

lmao Cyrus + Lucas be ballin'

white gale
#

Just want to be sure, giving the enemy Gradual Healing counts as them having a status change right?

north crown
#

it should be

nocturne pawn
livid jacinth
#

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

dense birch
#

ew ground weak diantha next week?

rotund lagoon
#

Courtney gaming

dense birch
#

1/5 courtney let's go

rotund lagoon
#

Still works lmao

undone ether
#

SS Giovanni for me

#

He's 4/5 might as well.

nocturne pawn
#

i think diantha is the hardest champion of any region

#

i swear to god all of her stages are varying levels of ass

undone ether
#

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 ;_;

old orchid
#

but yeah she is the hardest champion for sure

lean lion
#

Will be a nice change of pace after Johto

old orchid
#

Cynthia and Steven don't even come close

old orchid
#

tho

paper summit
lean lion
#

Me too, if you can't do themes I don't think I'll be able to

paper summit
#

get creative, make themes with actually strong pairs CynthiaSmug

undone ether
#

well at least we're only 4 weeks of Kalos kuku

nocturne pawn
#

do we know the coin for kalos

old orchid
nocturne pawn
#

id rather it not be field and be tech

undone ether
nocturne pawn
#

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

undone ether
#

i'll get my Field Candy soon thanks to CS o/

old orchid
nocturne pawn
#

also like

#

all of her stages have some sort of stat gimmick

#

i think

old orchid
#

except Poison weak

lean lion
old orchid
#

yes i did CalemRelieved very cool gameplay

lean lion
#

Yo these stages are actually tanky again

#

Wilkstrom with 40k+ hp with no hp params

nocturne pawn
nocturne pawn
undone ether
#

Geeta gaming lets go 😮

old orchid
lean lion
nocturne pawn
#

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

lean lion
#

Yeah yeah yeah with params but still

old orchid
lean lion
#

Johto is less than Wikstrom's base with params

nocturne pawn
#

man electric weak siebold used to be the worst cs stage for me

#

for a really long time

#

its so annoying

undone ether
old orchid
#

no 3/5 Elesa?

nocturne pawn
undone ether
#

with Holiday Whitney o/

nocturne pawn
#

cuz you have to get paralysis to do any damage

old orchid
#

oh his stage is designed for Sonia

nocturne pawn
#

and sonia was liable to get rng’d by surf

old orchid
#

skill issue

nocturne pawn
old orchid
#

wait

#

he has Surf????

nocturne pawn
#

yes

old orchid
#

i swear i haven't seen him using that move ever

nocturne pawn
#

also its an sst stage

#

more than sonia really

old orchid
#

Slo-mo tho

lean lion
#

Yeah SST is free win

nocturne pawn
#

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

old orchid
#

best buddies

nocturne pawn
#

sonia also just happens to have those capabilities

#

albeit single target

lean lion
#

It feels so weird to go from 0-2 passives on Johto stages to a whole list of passives

nocturne pawn
#

koga:

lean lion
#

Next week will be type medal week for me, but I'm excited for this region

nocturne pawn
#

you wont be after the first week

old orchid
#

at least you don't have to experience Head Smash spam in MM weeks

nocturne pawn
#

oh yeah ground weak diantha is the worst

undone ether
#

this should do it for Siebold o/

lean lion
#

Why not go full sync nuke with shocking slowdown?

undone ether
#

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)

lean lion
#

Ohhh

old orchid
dense birch
#

when i can get that, then i too can aim for 100k gems saved

#

hahaha

#

gonna think about how to offtype diantha i suppose

lean lion
#

I don't know if other will agree, but 4k offtype is easier than running wacky teams with themes

dense birch
#

i can see it. themes tend to be more restrictive

lean lion
#

The OP pairs handle 4k offtype pretty easily

undone ether
#

i'm still planning my teams for Week 191 Kalos CSMM kuku...

dense birch
#

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?

well i have sst

#

so suck begone

but before that it was awful

grand trout

I mean i under

#

Understand

Even with my cracked units there are still stages i have a hatred for

Like tighten/toughen up koga

her Blueberry team is no joke, mind you TabithaHehe

Ready for next week

manic mica
#

managed to clear my 1st champion stadium hard mode

full mesa
#

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.

warped jungle
#

lvl 120 works for 3k points I hope?

#

I'm out of level cap unlock mats

warped jungle
#

I get one shot after this.

#

and phy/sp dmg reduction. the 50 point one

silver dirge
#

Parameters look okay, are you triple queuing consistently?

#

Your counter is at 5 when they're syncing, something is off

manic mica
#

Next week is kalos no?

#

I hope the progress I made was not for naught and it carries over when johto appears again

warped jungle
#

What should it be at??

warped jungle
#

Volcarona is 1/5 so maybe that's why I lost?

silver dirge
#

Ah RoxieInteresting

warped jungle
#

And Morty is 1/5 too

#

but he is EX

silver dirge
#

Is Burgh gridded for crit buffs?

warped jungle
#

Wait let me show u Burgh's grid

#

ohhh nvm I forgot to grid Burgh PrycePain

#

I thought I did LOL

silver dirge
#

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?

warped jungle
silver dirge
#

Right okay

warped jungle
#

The sync hit right after the screenshot was taken

silver dirge
#

Yeah makes sense GaryThumbsup

warped jungle
#

"Moments before disaster"

silver dirge
#

A gridded burgh will get you there

warped jungle
#

Okay

#

Who syncs second, Burgh or Volcarona?

#

Burgh?

silver dirge
#

Alder is 1/5 yeah?

warped jungle
#

ye

silver dirge
#

And Burgh?

warped jungle
#

3/5

left storm
silver dirge
#

Burgh

warped jungle
left storm
#

Teambuild wise

warped jungle
#

So remove Burgh?

silver dirge
#

Dropping Burgh to focus on Alder would do the trick too

lean lion
silver dirge
#

But you're close, a gridded Burgh sync will get you there if you want to go for this team

left storm
#

That too

warped jungle
warped jungle
warped jungle
#

I don't have a bug zone

#

This one good?

lean lion
warped jungle
#

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?

toxic cobalt
#

Yes

warped jungle
#

okay cool

warped jungle
#

Surf kills everyone.

silver dirge
#

Did you sync with Burgh?

#

Sides aren't damaged

warped jungle
#

Am I not supposed to hit the middle with the sync?

#

and the sync doesn't crit sometimes so that's annoying

silver dirge
#

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

warped jungle
#

*10.5k

#

Mofo survived the sync at 1hp and the hyper beam got wasted on it 🥲

#

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

rotund lagoon
rotund lagoon
#

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

warped jungle
#

Oh. Is it something new they added?

rotund lagoon
#

Just added this update.

warped jungle
#

I haven't survived any surf after this

rotund lagoon
#

The matches can be RNG, just keep trying.

warped jungle
#

Okay

#

Wtf is this rng!?

#

This run was waaaay too easy to be 3k

steel kelp
#

Jokes on you it was 0

warped jungle
#

Imagine if it actually was WEEZing

#

I would've stopped doing CS

#

P.S. you actually made me double check whether it was actually 3k or not

#

This team fine?

nocturne pawn
#

it works

warped jungle
#

For dragon team I'm gonna use Zerena and Dialga, do I need a spd+crit unit there too?

main crow
#

Yeah crit would be nice to have around so Zerena can just start attacking after TM

warped jungle
#

I don't think I got a tank with dire hit+

#

I have Red/Snorlax but only at 1/5

full mesa
#

We have HP percentages now?!!!

full mesa
#

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

rotund lagoon
warped jungle
nocturne pawn
#

ehh

#

i would avoid that honestly

rotund lagoon
#

Doesn’t Zerena only need 1…?

nocturne pawn
rotund lagoon
#

She can do TM, Dire Hit, Thousand Waves

nocturne pawn
#

but thats really slow tbh

rotund lagoon
#

I think it’ll be fine, as long as it isn’t two Dire Hits

Hey everyone I need help again after sometime
What was the thing used to show sync pairs list

onyx ice
main crow
#

And a self sufficient way to ramp up pin missile too

#

No quarter + physical boost 2 goes kinda hard

left storm
#

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

warped jungle
#

Heyyy sooo this team isn't really working... All three are gridded.

undone ether
#

what's your parameters?

warped jungle
#

Hala is 3/5

#

Gimme a sec

old orchid
#

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

warped jungle
#

Will another team be better? I barely did any damage

#

The sync did like 9k I think

#

Hala don't have CS2

old orchid
#

Does Hala have Haymaker gridded?

warped jungle
#

Uh gimme a sec

old orchid
#

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

warped jungle
#

Yeah it's the sync that kills everyone. Unless they got sludge wave or something

old orchid
#

If you don't want to rely on 1/1 Potion MPR chance, can take off half MP and pick max HP

swift swan
#

Hala should presync just fine with the right parameters, his nuke is great

warped jungle
#

I'm using this grid

#

I just realized I got all the sync tiles and still did so little dmg LOL

old orchid
#

Might be a non crit

warped jungle
#

NO way I got the unlucky 20% PrycePain

warped jungle
old orchid
#

That happens more than you think GladionSip

warped jungle
#

Maaan that annoying.

old orchid
warped jungle
#

Should I be using ice hammer or nah?

#

omg sigilyph got an aoe move

undone ether
#

restart and try again o/

warped jungle
#

how much of rng exists?

#

I thought moves were preset

undone ether
#

it happens xd

warped jungle
#

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??

toxic cobalt
#

Because she has a passive which can trigger when she is hit

warped jungle
#

Ah okay.

warped jungle
#

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.

nocturne pawn
#

those also prevent quad queue

warped jungle
#

okay

old orchid

And tank with Leaf instead, like i told you earlier

warped jungle
#

okay

old orchid
#

Actually, just grid Adrenaline on Leaf grid and sync with her first

warped jungle
#

but she's not EX

old orchid
#

Oh

#

So tank with her then

warped jungle
#

okay

warped jungle
#

That passive is from the stage gimmick or whatever it's called

#

The Round 3 "passive"

nocturne pawn
#

oh

#

then you just cant quad unless you have adrenaline

calm marsh
#

You can try kill left side mon

nocturne pawn
#

so in this case id just sync with hala first

warped jungle
#

okay

#

the phy/sp shield doesn't let you quad queue?

#

WHy?

nocturne pawn
#

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

warped jungle
#

Ah I see

#

Sonia don't have adrenaline?

nocturne pawn
#

not on her grid

warped jungle
#

Okay

#

So just sync with Hala and hope mid die?

nocturne pawn
#

thats generally what i do with him

warped jungle
#

okay

#

Increase in speed doesn't decrease Hala's damage right?

nocturne pawn
#

you lose slow windup 1 but thats only 10%

warped jungle
#

My god I'm about to cry

old orchid
#

keep healing him

#

gridding TM Barricade Buddies on Leaf's TM will help, too

warped jungle
#

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 BarryPogChamp

#

Hala is way better than I expected 👀

lean lion
warped jungle
#

Two more to go

lean lion
#

Which E4 remaining?

warped jungle
#

What's E4?

lean lion
#

Elite 4

warped jungle
#

Ahh

#

Psychic weakness

#

Bruno was it?

lean lion
#

Yeah

warped jungle
#

I tried using Lucian, SSLusa, zamazenta earlier

#

ISTG if Lucian had aoe sync he would've onbe shot the whole thing

lean lion
#

Why Zamazenta? Ex sync?

toxic cobalt
#

Why zamazenta

#

Trout is on this

lean lion
warped jungle
#

Ohhh I thought it's another pair SophoKEK

lean lion
#

Lmao

warped jungle
# toxic cobalt Why zamazenta

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.

lean lion
#

Sabrina can do both those things

warped jungle
#

Then I tried using sabrina too but I can't seem to use her.

warped jungle
#

I tried Sabrina, Bianca, sslusa

warped jungle
#

Didn't really work out

toxic cobalt
#

Why do you need to buff crit

warped jungle
#

To save turns buffing Lusa

toxic cobalt
#

What for? What is she doing with those turns?

warped jungle
#

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??

toxic cobalt
#

Depends what you are doing

old orchid
toxic cobalt
#

Getting hits before first sync won’t do much

old orchid
#

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

lean lion
#

I though this team would have guage problems, no?

warped jungle
#

So do I set up terrain furst turn?

lean lion
#

Don't take my word for it, I'm just asking Gakon

warped jungle
#

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.

old orchid
warped jungle
#

They work without lucky skills? No vigilance?

old orchid
#

when Bianca gets sniped by nat crit, just reset

warped jungle
#

What's the minimum grid requirements for Sab/Bianca?

#

Like the importat tiles

lean lion
warped jungle
#

Okay. Do I set up terrain first turn?

lean lion
#

Yeah setup terrain then use Bianca's TMs to double the buffs she gets

warped jungle
#

Then use tm for Max def output.

toxic cobalt
#

Is this Perma field round?

warped jungle
#

Nah this round 4

#

stat lowering effects have a greater effect are doubled I think.

#

That hit did 3500

nocturne pawn
#

either way if he queues close combat early you reset

warped jungle
#

okay

#

Ooh I did have tech x3

#

Need 50 more points. What do I chose?

calm marsh
#

You can take No Stat Reduction

old orchid
#

don't pick defense up 1

warped jungle
#

nvm I dont think anyone even lowers stats on my team

calm marsh
#

And why you choose cant change Zone, weather or Terrain too

warped jungle
#

Ohhhh righhttt terrain not gonna work.

#

So I should chose atk 5?

calm marsh
#

You can pick Sup x3

old orchid
#

you can add some HP to make up for point loss

calm marsh
#

You tank with Bianca anyway

warped jungle
#

I'm missing 50 points after removing tech x3 and wtz and adding support x3

calm marsh
#

Pick Max Sync Countdown -1

warped jungle
#

max hp 2 is the only one that looks doable

warped jungle
calm marsh
#

SSLusa should kill Bruno with no problem

old orchid
#

just asking, have you added no stat reduction?

warped jungle
#

yeah

old orchid
#

i didn't see you mentioning it, so asked just in case

#

yeah max hp 2 is the best option

warped jungle
#

ok

#

Do I keep support x3?

#

Coz she ain't tanking anyways as Pyko said

old orchid
#

yes, ofc

warped jungle
#

Then after adding hp 2 I go over 50 points so I can remove atk1??

#

or interference/stat condition gonna be better ti remove?

calm marsh
#

Remove atk better here

warped jungle
#

ok

calm marsh
#

You only have confusion form sabrina

warped jungle
#

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?

calm marsh
#

What is your SS Lusa move level ?

old orchid
#

reset when Bruno uses EQ

#

1/5 non EX

lean lion
#

You wanna avoid EQ and Close Combat

calm marsh
#

You can try kill him in 1 Sync + Move

warped jungle
#

I was thinkning of using M2 but setting him up gonna take forever

old orchid
#

that doesn't matter in that team

warped jungle
#

okay so reset if EQ

calm marsh
#

Does your Lusa Ex ?

warped jungle
#

No

#

Man I should've 3/5 EX Lusa isntead of Zerena AcerolaPensive

old orchid
#

i don't think LuSSa is the better 3/5 than Zerena

lean lion
#

Might be better for them to bring a physical tank instead. Or does Lusa absolutely need zone?

warped jungle
#

Oh wait it's done

old orchid
warped jungle
#

gg ez

lean lion
#

Nice

warped jungle
#

Sometimes the rng works so well xD

#

For Dragon I was thinking of Dialga, Zerena, Swanna.
WOrks?

calm marsh
#

Ofc

warped jungle
#

cool

#

And perma field effect?

lean lion
#

You can but keep in mind you'll also be powering up their Dragon type moves

warped jungle
#

Ah fuck. Should I not use dragon zone then?

#

Maybe use it right before I sync or somehting?

lean lion
#

No do it, see how it goes

#

Just a heads up that they'll also hit kinda hard because of it

warped jungle
#

ok

#

how much harder is "kinda hard"?

#

50% harder?

#

There is phy dmg reduction at start of battle

#

I think

lean lion
#

Everything except Lance's sync is special

#

Go try it out though. Zerena can clear regardless.

warped jungle
#

okay

#

So I removed the support x3(100) and added tech x3 and atk1

#

omg the sync was one shot

#

one shot wipeout

lean lion
#

ZerenaSerenaSip

warped jungle
#

Yay! I cleared 15k!

#

Thanks everyone!

warped jungle
lean lion
#

Congratulations!

warped jungle
#

I don't get any rewards beyond 15k right?

lean lion
#

15k is max rewards

warped jungle
#

cool. finally the suffering is over (saying this after one shot clear feels so pretentious)

shell orchid
#

This would work for hard, right?

swift swan
#

Is your ghetsis and/or sycamore powerboosted? Ghetsis might want faster crit help

lean lion
swift swan
#

Roxanne provides almost everything sycamore gives already

shell orchid
#

For that group admittedly I was kinda at a loss, got it

swift swan
#

Zinnia demands weather if you're adamant on using her

#

Rest looks okay

lean lion

Oh I didn't notice that

lean lion
shell orchid
#

I don't think I have him

But it's okay if you don't have him, not gonna be a problem

#

Yea I don't have that one

lean lion
#

It's fine. Teams look good.

swift swan
#

Kukui's for defense drops? Can replace with nanu for dark

#

and nanu can flinch

nocturne pawn
#

well 3/5 kukui also has flinch

#

and aoe def drop vs st

swift swan
#

Mhm, though nanu has the advantage of -2 def and most of the time it's the mid that matters

shell orchid
#

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

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 💀

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

These are the only dragon types i have

They don't suck, grab Cyrus' copies from Legendary Adventures first and get him 5/5

Unless im missing something

The turtle one heals ik is kinda helpful but not really since he gets one shoted

Your team does not need to be, and should not be, monotype. Cyrus is your central damage dealer, choose a tank Support that also helps his buffs. 3rd pair is flexible

you can use Ryuki as the third to add more damage, or bring a spdef debuffer like Lucian to improve Cyrus' output

is Lucario (SSA Cynthia) 3/5?

Or Riley

Should I go sync rushing with a Running pair

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

Which type is better to pass the 2nd round?

silver dirge
#

The team you did R1 BSit

steel kelp
#

Honestly

silver dirge
#

What move levels are Lusamine, NY Dawn & SC Irida? A strong sync with any of them + the right parameters should do the trick

steel kelp
#

But what is that psychic team

silver dirge
#

True. Why are Hop & Sycamore there

tardy belfry
#

sycamore is for mga + spd + spatk buff probs

steel kelp
#

Lusamine does that herself

#

Plus that means they’re fighting over sync

silver dirge
#

^

#

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

tardy belfry
#

shrug, I'm just saying what dude is probs thinking

tardy belfry
#

mewtwo and sycamore still works for R2, though I had to bring in latias

rain turret
#

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

swift swan

@nocturne pawn you're right, Siebold elec should fuck itself right off

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

swift swan

turn that off. otherwise the team should work fine

though tbf piers isn't a good tank against malva since she's fully special

What’s the ghost gimmick?

undone ether
#

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

silver dirge
#

Oh do y'all want me to bring back the pinned gimmicks/counters? Forgot we're on Kalos

swift swan
#

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 grief should probably keep the parameters+rounds up top

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.

calm marsh
lunar meadow
#

Like... We have units who max stats just by existing. We have ways to deal with it now that we used to not.

steel kelp
#

release a unit with team impervious you cowards

You say that like people aren’t already complaining the shit out of current ubs

A haze ub would be a huge step up in difficulty

#

Ok here’s the problem with that

calm marsh
#

How downside up interact with haze/snatch ?

rich needle
#

It just go up

#

I’ve tried it

steel kelp
#

As many units that have impervious it’s either in an awkward spot on grid or not worth sacrificing other stuff

rich needle
#

Tm mpr resetting is cringe

lunar meadow
rich needle
#

It should not be required

steel kelp
#

Or just too little grid energy to grab it

lunar meadow
#

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.

rich needle
#

I don’t want a fight I need rng to win

lunar meadow
#

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.

rich needle
#

It’s not that hard

lunar meadow
#

Then bring a unit with impervious

rich needle
#

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

No

I meant to respond to mine

#

There isn’t a lot

# noble plaza Does anyone know why?

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.

rich needle
#

You can do thorton with anything

noble plaza
#

Hilda, right?

rich needle
#

You cannot do a content that says imperv or reset

Also if that thing happens to need you know actual stats to survive(or else it’s piss easy) it becomes obnoxious

Caitlin can buff her own crit

rich needle

Drasna also +2

lunar meadow
#

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

noble plaza
#

She is

#

Well 4/5 now

lean lion
#

You'll need MPR for t move crit eye to max Caitlin's crit but Bianca doesn't have any crit buffs

rich needle
#

No?

lunar meadow
#

Ah, her grid expansion gives her crit.

But ya, then Musharna is just... Setting psychic terrain and looking pretty?

rich needle
#

Yes

#

It’s very effective

noble plaza
#

She has stored power too

rich needle
#

We love terrain in this house
