Champion Stadium

[hollow swan]

Solgaleo funny

it's easy

Proceeds to use mr funny man who does the funny thing

[zealous karma]

this question would be better suited for #poma-questions
But it depends on what you want to do with him, if you know you are going to eventually 3/5 him or want the extra role for BR it is pretty harmless to cake him then but if you have other options that may want it more he may be a lower priority (For example a striker that is already 3/5)

[rich needle]

I mean does this really count, it’s like saying it’s too easy to do 4k cuz Sslyra can solo

[hollow swan]

[rich needle]

Not rly a fair metric

[hollow swan]

It's the flaw of champion stadium really

If they do not get resilience

It's free real estate

[rich needle]

Not really a flaw

[zealous karma]

They cleared the stage so they did in fact do 4k

[rich needle]

If you find it too easy you don’t have to flinch sleep lock

This is what let’s underdeveloped rosters do it

[zealous karma]

it really is not that deep lel

[hollow swan]

Still

That clip is meant to demonstrate that

4k is not too big of a hassle if you got the units and strats for it

For f2p it's too much i agree

[rich needle]

Blud saying if you have sslyra 4k is easy is a horrific metric for content that’s supposed to be done weekly

Like yes you caaaaan do this with Serena

And elio

But it’s significantly more tedious

[hollow swan]

Idk i just want more rewards

[rich needle]

I get that but cs being brought up 1k is not the way

[sharp willow]

I mean bringing it up 1k would 100% get new stuff to play around with alongside that

[hollow swan]

And we can always rely on good ol' sleep

[north crown]

sprint + field x3 damage

[hollow swan]

And more conditions

[hollow swan]

Oh yeah

I forgot how they

Literally do not give a damn

[north crown]

4.2k would be easier than ever

[hollow swan]

Like damnnnn

Field sprint pairs op

But then role cakes

Make them count as strike tech and sup

Nerfing them in a way

(i know it's not i am just kidding around)

[north crown]

rolex x3 damage

... A F2P PLAYER'S DREAM

[grand harbor]

Unable to do it with 3k parameters was easy on 2.5

What would you change?

[nocturne pawn]

drop def 3 and take power on hit 2

[north crown]

omni def +3

[nocturne pawn]

you’re making him too bulky

[grand harbor]

I can remove another stat

Or i remove power on hit 1 also?

[nocturne pawn]

just take off def 3

its adding too much bulk

[grand harbor]

Yes when i add power on hit 2 it increase 200 points so it is 3100

Which other parameter to remove?

[nocturne pawn]

oh probably max hp too

[north crown]

Bird up 🐦‍⬛
(Not good enough for #1010274591601598555 )

[misty yacht]

what should i do if I just unlocked master mode. Dont know how to proceed

[mellow linden]

If you're new to Master Mode I'd recommend starting with 850 points per stage (4250 total), or 1500 points per stage (7500 total) if you want more of a challenge. We have parameter recommendations in the pins

[misty yacht]

ok, thank you

[civic crater]

Where’s the appropriate place to brainstorm for limited runs?

[trail smelt]

What do you mean limited

[steel kelp]

Probably those theme runs people do like non limited only or using x character

[civic crater]

Much broader for this run. Gen pool 3 and 4*, story pairs (LA included), BP units, lodge units associated with aforementioned units

But yeah basically im@not using all my units for the run so it’s limited

[grand trout]

Who did y'all half sync this week

[trail smelt]

Which round was it again

Ah it was Shauntal

I also half synced Iris for good measure LMAO

[fading cradle]

grimsley

[undone ether]

Shauntal for me i think

[nocturne geyser]

More than enough, bet you could go 3k already

Idk about your morty though

[civic crater]

I half synced Shauntal. Posted a video in my clears of it if anyone is interested (sorry to self promote if that’s not allowed, I won’t do it again lol). My self imposed restrictions on this week made it a lot safer to do a slow-and-steady half sync than a real half sync clear lol.

[grand harbor]

15k done

Only grimsley was the hard one this run 😅

[rose ermine]

I did my first 3k on my alt acc

Geeta RIPPED marshal to shreds

[onyx ice]

Same

Half synced grimsley

[grand trout]

Yeees noland

[grand harbor]

Really love team 2 3 5
1 noland surprised me how good he is and synergize with barry

[rose ermine]

Trying 2.5k

Palmer is unable to kill mid,closest I got was a sliver

[old orchid]

Choose power on hit and remove some HP params

[left storm]

^

Also, I'd consider atk+3

[old orchid]

Same mind

[left storm]

Also remove defence +1

Leaving out Status immunity isn't really giving you much benefit either

Same for tech damage x3

If they kill skyla, it's pretty much over anyway

It's Palmer that can't die

[rose ermine]

Caitlin 2.5k,R4

[old orchid]

Dont pick Defense up

This team can easily afford half HP param

[grand trout]

Gakon i see you

You're now recommending that parameter

[old orchid]

I dont like it doesnt mean i wont recommend it to others

[rose ermine]

I am once again stuck

Blue ain't living more than 3 hits that too with hop constantly potioning him

[mellow linden]

Run a 2nd Electric damage-dealer alongside SST Red if you’re dead-set on off-typing

But you should have Riley for an easy on-type

[rose ermine]

How will he deal with sides tho

[steel kelp]

Punch them

[rose ermine]

I'll try anyways

Problem with sstred is i don't have a second electric dd

Other than pokekid ig

[steel kelp]

Highly doubt

[silver dirge]

Elesa?

[mellow linden]

BP Sophocles and Hau are free

[steel kelp]

LVolkner is semi free

[mellow linden]

But yeah, if need be you can just Max Move one side opponent to soften them up with Riley

If he’s been given a Strike Cake then his Sync will likely wipe them out

[rotund lagoon]

Solgaleo’s Focus Blast is an alternate option, too.

[long thicket]

Wow, I might be getting my first 15k...

Yup, did it, first time I attempt anything beyond 12.5k

*EX Aaron, SC Ingo, SC Barry
*EX Skyla, Oleana, Ariana
*Anni Lillie, Sygna Cynthia 2, Seasonal Allister
*EX Glacia, Irida, Hala
*Maylene, NC Hop, Rei

Is there a tool to share parameters?
I don't know about listing them otherwise, even though that's important.

[rotund lagoon]

Idk what you mean by sharing them
You can either take screenshots in-game or input them into PoMa Tools’ parameters list and screenshot those

[long thicket]

Yeah, glad it exists (not used to Poma Tools)

[hallow viper]

anybody got a way to beat grimsley on hard?

the aoe is killing me

any cheap method

[mellow linden]

What team(s) have you been trying thus far, and what round is it?

[hallow viper]

round 4

and ive tried screech with brutal swing crit

and buffs

nothing has worked

since liepard

aoe

hits everything

[mellow linden]

What Sync Pairs specifically?

Just saying the name of 2 moves doesn’t offer enough information

[hallow viper]

gimme a sec

lemme show u what I have

what I have

[mellow linden]

And what team(s) of 3 Sync Pairs have you been trying against Grimsley thus far?

[hallow viper]

like

sydney

klingklang and ghetsus

[mellow linden]

That team is significantly lacking in synergy, for a variety of reasons and especially 2:

• There’s no tank.
• No one is there to help Ghetsis with his significant setup needs.

[hallow viper]

idk if tank matters tho

I cant ko liepard before

sync

and that nukes my whole team

[mellow linden]

I’d recommend redoing the team entirely. If you choose to build a team around Sidney, keep in mind that he ideally wants to be run alongside a 2nd damage-dealer who has strong regular moves to make up for the fact that Sidney’s damage is low outside of his Sync Move and a Support who handles that 2nd damage-dealer’s team

[hallow viper]

what would u recommend with what I have?

[mellow linden]

Nessa + Drednaw is a good option since she’s physical and can use Jaw Lock to remain on-type for if you’re facing a Dark weak stage (it’s also stronger than Razor Shell unless the opponent is weak to Water)

[hallow viper]

like what core?

[mellow linden]

So in such a team you’d then need to find a Support who can handle Nessa’s buff needs (a minimum of +1 crit if Nessa’s having to use her Trainer Move twice, but ideally +2 or +4-6 Attack and +2 or more crit so Nessa only has to use her Trainer Move once at most)

Alternatively you could build a team around Ghetsis. If you choose to build around Ghetsis make sure his teammates can give him +4 to +6 Sp. Atk. and +3 crit

Also, make sure you focus on the center opponent first so as to make sure they Sync as few times as possible

[hallow viper]

How would I survive the liepard sync?

[mellow linden]

I’d be surprised if Grimsley even got to Sync with a good team setup and proper triple queue, tbh

[hallow viper]

I dont have a supp that gives all those buffs my most competent supps alr used

[mellow linden]

Don’t ignore your 3- and 4-stars

I can tell you right now one of them has everything you’re looking for if you wanna do Sidney + Nessa, and you can run a combo of 2 Supports so Ghetsis can have almost everything he needs (1 Trainer Move use on Ghetsis is fine in a pinch) if you decide to go that route

[hallow viper]

nessa supp and what for 3rd slot?

[mellow linden]

The recommendation I initially gave for running Nessa was to be the source of high regular move damage (via Jaw Lock) to complement Sidney’s high Sync Move damage

[hallow viper]

for the supp

were u talking about maylene?

[mellow linden]

Maylene has everything you’d want for Sidney + Nessa, yes

[hallow viper]

didn't work at all

turn 1 x att

no hard feelings grimsley

and wash away dred

what am i doing wrong?

[brave halo]

If I can help, how about sidney amd colress?

[mellow linden]

Sidney's regular moves are too low power

That's why Nessa is there

[hallow viper]

jaw lock does like 2%

with x att

[mellow linden]

Are you making sure to triple queue? Are you making sure to target the center opponent 1st? Are you making sure to use Maylene's Trainer Move so Nessa's critical rate gets maxed?

[hallow viper]

yes

[mellow linden]

So Nessa's Critical Rate is at +3?

[brave halo]

It was more a suggestion for the sync from sidney

[mellow linden]

Also, whose Sync Move are you using?

[hallow viper]

sidney

[brave halo]

Wait 2%? Hold on, is this regular hard mode or MM

[hallow viper]

regular hard

the only 1 i can do

im doing no dmg

at all

and he nukes me

[mellow linden]

Can you possibly screenshot or record your gameplay? Because even off-type you shouldn't be doing so little damage

[hallow viper]

i have like no gauge

so i cant press a lof of moves

[brave halo]

Yeah that feels off ngl

[hallow viper]

can yall tell me the order to press

?

[mellow linden]

Just avoid using any moves that cost gauge on Maylene until those are the only moves left

[hallow viper]

what I did

didnt work

[mellow linden]

If need be click Potion from Sidney on occasion to save the gauge

[brave halo]

Ngl I was about to test the team myself but I have everyone 140 and that wouldn't feel fair

[hallow viper]

should i press any dmg on sidney?

should I wash away with ness?

[brave halo]

Could you still try nessa with colress? His aoe screech and t wave can be helpful

[mellow linden]

1 Trainer Move from Nessa and after Sidney uses his Trainer Move he should just be clicking Brutal Swing unless he needs to save gauge

[brave halo]

Sorry I might be butting in, I'll stop if need be

[mellow linden]

Can you maybe screenshot when the opponent is about to Sync?

[mellow linden]

I'm trying to see if I can narrow down what's going wrong with the current team before trying to figure out a new one

[hallow viper]

dead again

what did u guys use when u had to beat champion on hard?

cause its my first girst time

[brave halo]

Fair enough, just wasn't sure if they wanted to keep that team indefinite or not

[hallow viper]

and im pretty sure everyone had the same champion

[mellow linden]

Nessa's Trainer Move was unused

Is there a particular reason for that?

Wait

Is this Round 3 or Round 4?

[hallow viper]

4

last 1

before champ

[brave halo]

That gets iirc physical reduction field right?

Oh special damage sorry

[mellow linden]

Light Screen at the start, but that wouldn't matter anyway since it's ignored by crits

How many Sync Moves did you use before the opponent Synced?

[brave halo]

So far would have to be just the one

Since Sidney sync

[mellow linden]

Ah, that is a Mega Absol, ok

[hallow viper]

like 2

[mellow linden]

You're getting 2 Sync Moves?

[hallow viper]

yes

[mellow linden]

And both are with Sidney?

[brave halo]

Wait by that logic you were able to quadqueue

[mellow linden]

It is possible if they survived the 1st Grimsley Sync

[brave halo]

Or that

[hallow viper]

yes

[brave halo]

[hallow viper]

they survived first

put maylene

fainted

[mellow linden]

Ok, so what I can gather from the screenshot:

• Nessa didn't use her Trainer Move, which means her critical rate wasn't maxed. This would affect her damage output.
• I can't tell if Grimsley is Restrained. I assume he is.
• You didn't click Brutal Swing on Sidney.

Brutal Swing matters here because it confuses the entire enemy side (as long as Sidney used his Trainer Move first), which may buy you some extra time by causing them to fail to atttack

[hallow viper]

should i use his trainer move before brutal?

uses 3 bars for max dmg

[mellow linden]

Yes

Because he needs to crit

[hallow viper]

kk

[mellow linden]

At this point though, if you have enough Sync orbs (240) to grid Critical Focus on Cyrus we can just try a Cyrus Hydro Pump team

[brave halo]

Most the time it's just use up tms first

[mellow linden]

Sorry, 2400

[brave halo]

Cause they mostly don't take gauge

[mellow linden]

Because orb conversion

[hallow viper]

lemme try again

[mellow linden]

A couple of questions/things to remember just to cover my bases:

• Are you certain that you're using all of Maylene's buffs?
• Are you certain you're using Jaw Lock with Nessa?
• Make sure to use Nessa's Trainer Move once at the start of battle so that her critical rate can be maxed.

And make sure you triple queue, turn down the speed at the start if you need to

+triplequeue

[frozen depot]

In Pokemon Masters, the battles revolve around using your Sync Move as fast as possible.
Using moves will reduce its cooldown, which is also the case for the opponent!
This is why you always want all your pairs on the field to have moves queue'd.
Have 3 ally moves in between each 1 enemy move, even at the start!
After 9 moves, you can wait to queue your Sync.

See this quick footage for how to Triple Queue :

[brave halo]

Wait can I ask one more thing to safe? Since I learned it myself, are you also sync delaying?

[hallow viper]

fainted again

[mellow linden]

If you're talking about handling queueing Sync during the last 3 moves, that's covered in the triple queue video

[mellow linden]

Ok, I'm pretty sure there's something screwy here, but at this point it's more trouble than it's worth to try and pinpoint it right now. How many Sync Orbs do you have?

[brave halo]

I was typing to them by the time you shared that sorry

[hallow viper]

10000 sync orbs

[mellow linden]

Perfect. We're changing gears to a Cyrus Hydro Pump team

[brave halo]

Cyrus, Ghetsis and some support?

I say him cause noble roar

[mellow linden]

Grab this Cyrus grid. Run him alongside Winona and a Support who can buff defenses. For Cyrus' actions:

Use Cyrus' Trainer Move twice before he does anything else so he fully sets himself up. Then use Spacial Rend once and restart the fight if it doesn't score a critical hit. After that just click Hydro Pump.

Make sure Winona sets Rain.

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/19400/48400?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AhEUFxofISM

If he misses Hydro Pump too much you can add on tiles to get this grid:

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/19400/48400?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AgQRFBcaHyEjJSYoKw

[brave halo]

Ngl I sometimes forget winona

My fault

Cyrus, winona, and drake maybe for the team?

[mellow linden]

Ideally they wanna get type medal progress

[hallow viper]

do I have winnona?

[mellow linden]

Yes

[cinder summit]

Winona & Pelipper

Acquisition:

General Pool

Alternates:

None

[mellow linden]

That's Winona

[brave halo]

Oh right uhh

Can we see your whole support roster really quick?

[hallow viper]

i got it

[mellow linden]

The reason this setup is strong is because Hydro Pump is a very powerful move, and Rain from Winona gives it a +50% damage boost. Cyrus also gives Hydro Pump even more damage via the Ramming Speed passive in his grid and his innate Critical Strike 9 passive. Cyrus doesn't need a Support to handle his buffs because his Trainer Move does his Sp. Atk. and Speed buffs, and Critical Focus from his grid handles his critical rate buffs. That's also why that initial Spacial Rend needs to crit: Critical Focus won't activate if it doesn't

[hallow viper]

should i rain dance first turn or trainer?

[mellow linden]

Winona can also provide flinches via Air Slash to stall the opponents' actions a little

[brave halo]

Rain dance after the tms and such

[mellow linden]

You can wait until Winona's 3rd action to Rain Dance since Cyrus won't be clicking Hydro Pump until his 4th action

[brave halo]

Doing it that early would waste the rain time itself

[hallow viper]

whats last slot?

[mellow linden]

A Support who buffs defenses

Like I mentioned before

[brave halo]

Can we at least see all the supports with this filter?

[zealous karma]

if you have support and that clicked it will show everyone that can buff defense at base but not from things like passives or grid passives

so someone like SSKris will not show up with her team stoic 4 for example

[mellow linden]

If they have trouble finding someone then we can try and zero in on options

[brave halo]

If we doing the medal thing

Roxanne maybe?

[mellow linden]

But I'm at least trying to get them to learn a little bit since I've already almost handed them an entire team

[hallow viper]

i just want to grt this over with

i understand team building

[brave halo]

Oooh they all at level 1

[hallow viper]

but I didnt think anout rain

[hallow viper]

i can get to 120 quick

[brave halo]

OK that's good

[hallow viper]

winona is 120 now

[brave halo]

OK maybe not roxanne cause I genuinely mistook her tm for raising spdef amd not spatk

Cause I know grimsley does both special amd physical

[mellow linden]

Grimsley's most threatening move and Sync are physical

So Defense is preferred

[brave halo]

Fair enough but have to be safe

[zealous karma]

I just want to clear this up you are usinf Cyrus Winona on this stage correct and this is just normal mode?

[mellow linden]

Yes

[brave halo]

I think one of the two sides for aoe special which can be a scare

[mellow linden]

On a somewhat different note, I do hope this experience has shown you why you need to spread out your powerful Sync Pairs in CS

[hallow viper]

i get that now

is roxanne not good?

[brave halo]

She's a very early pair

[hallow viper]

or maybe surperior for x sp att?

and gauge boost

[mellow linden]

Can try Rosa and see if she works, just don't click X Sp. Atk. All immediately

[zealous karma]

she is good but she can be a bit lacking on the defensive side as this isnt master mode this shouldnt matter too much but I would make sure to grid cyrus for critical focus and fish for a crit on spacial rend

[mellow linden]

Save it for after a couple enemy Snarls to top up Cyrus' Sp. Atk. if you use Rosa

[brave halo]

Actually roxanne can work cause looking at grimsley's stuff he has Snarl which can drop Cyrus's spatk

[mellow linden]

Already went over Cyrus' job in great detail, no worries

[zealous karma]

alr

[brave halo]

If you want, if roxanne is used, use up her x defense, only use her tm if you see Grimsley using snarl

But you can also try with wide guard cause aoe side, just a thought

[mellow linden]

I'm gonna be absent for a few minutes, think you can handle troubleshooting if I'm not back in time Richu?

[brave halo]

Wait oh no wonder I was thinking about the spdef buffing, huh

[hallow viper]

lost even with roxanne

idk anymore

[mellow linden]

Did you make sure to use Spacial Rend once, and restart the fight if it didn’t score a critical hit?

[hallow viper]

yes

crit did like 4

percent

[brave halo]

What? How? That sounds so off

[mellow linden]

Spacial Rend’s crit damage is unimportant

Hydro Pump is the big damage button

The damage from the Spacial Rend crit is what’s unimportant

That’s what I mean

Apologize for ambiguous wording

[hallow viper]

crit hydro does 10

[mellow linden]

Are you making sure to use Cyrus’ Trainer Move twice, and is he using it under Rain?

[brave halo]

Even in rain?

[hallow viper]

yes

idk why this e4 is so bulky

the other 1s i did with no difficulty

should I maybe consider lvl 140?

i have the resources

[zealous karma]

the difference from 125 to 140 isnt that big

[mellow linden]

Your Cyrus is 20/20, right?

You used his custom powerups to increase his potential?

[hallow viper]

yes

[mellow linden]

Can you maybe screenshot when the opponent is about to Sync again?

[hallow viper]

k

2nd time?

[mellow linden]

At the opponents’ 1st Sync

Because they really shouldn’t even be able to get more than 1 Sync in

And again, make sure you get that single Spacial Rend use to crit

[hallow viper]

kod at liepard 14

[brave halo]

Does he got 3 crit?

[mellow linden]

Hold on

[brave halo]

Oh wait no he should

[mellow linden]

When did Roxanne go down?

[brave halo]

Actually yeah good point

[hallow viper]

like 2 turns before

[brave halo]

When that gappen?

[hallow viper]

I x def

all the way

then star

before death

[mellow linden]

Wait, you Synced once before Roxanne got KOed?

[hallow viper]

ye

actually no

i didnt

kept hydro

with palki

should i sync?

[mellow linden]

For more beginner infos, check our #1010307000346878062.

[mellow linden]

Follow that guide

[brave halo]

Then who synced?

[mellow linden]

You should be Syncing because it gives a big damage boost

The Sync buff, gained from using a Sync Move, is a permanent +50% damage boost

Sync with Cyrus since he’s gonna have the highest damage Sync out of the team

[hallow viper]

lemme try

[mellow linden]

If worst comes to worst use Skyla as the Support since she has loads of bulk

I was hoping you could wait to use her, but if push comes to shove then she’s a good tank

[brave halo]

Ngl I was about to try to suggest skyla with bea and colress, yeah I keep saying about colress I'm sorry

[mellow linden]

Bea we wanna save for the Champion for sure because they desperately need the advantage that on-typing gives them

[brave halo]

Ok that's true

[grand steppe]

Example

[mellow linden]

Though the investment isn’t something they have, the principles of Hydro Pump are the same

[brave halo]

They said they had the mats for it

Or maybe it was just the orbs

[mellow linden]

I don’t think they can EX their Roxanne

[brave halo]

Ngl I haven't done that either

[grand steppe]

yeah probably sync with cyrus or winona

[brave halo]

Probably cyrus cause aoe sync in this case

[grand steppe]

doubt they have ex

[mellow linden]

Their Cyrus isn’t EX

[brave halo]

Is it not?

[mellow linden]

But Cyrus’ Sync is easily the strongest of the team

[brave halo]

I thought that was the right pose?

[grand steppe]

it's been a while since it reran

[mellow linden]

This is a new player

Sages’ video is not a new player

[brave halo]

Oh now I can see the clothes easier

I was focusing on the pose more than that

My brains on a roll tonight

[hallow viper]

i should sync roxanne?

not palk?

[mellow linden]

Sync with Cyrus

[brave halo]

Not roxanne in this case

[mellow linden]

Your Roxanne isn’t EX, Sages’ Roxanne is

[brave halo]

Supports usually can't do good sync damage

[mellow linden]

That’s why they Synced with Roxanne. Since yours isn’t EX Cyrus’ Sync is better

[grand steppe]

well i didn't want to damage the sides, to demonstrate how you deal with them

[mellow linden]

Fair enough

Tbh though I’d have Synced with Winona if you wanted to showcase that

Since that would create the lowest discrepancy

Anyway, not important rn. Since no one in the current scenario is EX Cyrus has the best Sync

[brave halo]

I almost want to say sync one of the sides and let cyrus just blast Grimsley in the face after with hydro

[hallow viper]

so close

[brave halo]

Maybe the one of the left cause that is a special aoe

[hallow viper]

only persian left

gtg yall ty for the help today

if u can leave some tips here

[mellow linden]

Honestly not a bad idea

[hallow viper]

i will read

[brave halo]

Like roxanne does have the grid for spdef but since Grimsley has Snarl, would ruin a lot of cyrus tm

[mellow linden]

Try that on one or 2 attempts, pick a side and target them with your Sync to see if it changes anything

[brave halo]

Don't worry for the umbreon, cause they don't have special aoe, only aoe single

[mellow linden]

If Cyrus is doing enough to the center with Hydro Pump it might be the thing that pushes you across the finish line

[brave halo]

Oh there's Snarl on that umbreon, huh

[toxic cobalt]

Really classic team, should be able to do it

[grand steppe]

yeah that stage lowers spa and speed, probably not the best for cyrus

[brave halo]

But roxanne does have wide guard which might help

[mellow linden]

Rn it’s kinda the best I could figure out given the circumstances

[toxic cobalt]

If you get the flinches it should work

[mellow linden]

I didn’t have a whole lot to work with from their available roster

Regardless, it seems Cyrus is probably gonna work out with another few attempts

[grand steppe]

well cyrus shoud still manage

[brave halo]

I k ow they said they were going to sleep but wanted to check, this means 50% right?

[mellow linden]

Air Slash base is 30%, so it goes up to 60% with Aggravation 1

[brave halo]

I was gonna say rain dance after cyrus is done setting tm and crits, then spam aggravation air slash for flinching

[mellow linden]

Air Slash is a good move to be using when not setting Rain regardless, Aggravation just makes it even more appealing

[brave halo]

Yeah and we don't really have to worry for tm all too much cause roxanne sets the buffs that bypass Grimsley sync

[grand steppe]

The base chance is multiplied by the value of aggravation skill + 1.
So, Aggravation 1 doubles the base chance.

Aggravation 2 would triple, and so on.

this same logic applies to: Hostile Enviorment, On a Roll, Swag Bag, and Unexpected Benefits x2

reminder to add this to glossary

[brave halo]

Yeah I'd say get aggravation on air slash at least

Maybe try to flinch Grimsley first and maybe set up wide guard by the time the sync happens from pelipper

Sync the left side>hydro pump into grimsley>wide guard

[toxic cobalt]

Don't use wide guard until your second sync is done

[north crown]

Or if mid is down

[hallow viper]

guys just beat grimsley and iris

ty for the help

[trail smelt]

Congrats

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[noble plaza]

Any order recommended for this?

Should I just poison stall Marshal?

[north crown]

If you have enough resources, you could try ontyping

[noble plaza]

True true

I have NC Blue and NC Red but I'd rather use NC Red for Shauntal

I have some good pairs, who would be good for offtyping?

Oh wait I have SST Red

Who should I pair with him? A poisoner? Is it worth using NC Blue here?

[mellow linden]

Marshal’s only real gimmick is that he effectively has Sentry Entry x1.5

Other than that, I guess Overwhelm 2 maybe could influence your choice of tank

[noble plaza]

Sentry Entry is the boosted defense one?

[north crown]

yeah

bro you have so many ice type options

[noble plaza]

Yeah I guess that's true!

I have Rei and Bea, but should I use special attacks versus Iris?

[civic crater]

Physical does totally fine against Iris

I used Skyla/Bruno/Riley and had no problems whatsoever at 3k

[civic crater]

I used support Janine, Roxie, Koga and it was very smooth. Looker would probably make it a lot smoother over Roxie

[undone ether]

this should do it for next week mmhmm

[fading cradle]

when do parameters for a new week typically get revealed?

[paper summit]

when CS resets every week, that information can't be datamined unless it's a special CS

[undone ether]

special cs has that info? 😮

[mellow linden]

Round parameters for this month’s Special CS have been in the pins for multiple weeks now

[undone ether]

hrm Round 2 against Sidney might be best.
And either Round 3 or Round 4 for Drasna i suppose.

[mellow linden]

All the round parameters are minimal impact ones

I wouldn’t worry about them outside of (maybe) planning around no quadqueue on Round 1 and making sure to avoid big special damage-focused e4 on Round 2

[undone ether]

Round 2 is Special Attack Up, so avoid Drasna there o-o

[nocturne pawn]

i love this game

i had 3 force field procs in a row

and its 20/30% for each one

[grand trout]

Wtf 3 rock stages

[mellow linden]

I mean, there’s only like 3 Champion types, iirc

[sharp willow]

yeah, Unova only has Rock, Dragon and Fighting weak stages for the champion slot

[main crow]

Time to revisit stacking 10 SMUN on Piers

[versed meteor]

Tf the special stadium is in june then

[mellow linden]

We may not get one

It’s not necessarily every month

[fading cradle]

here are my tentative teams for tomorrow (pls ignore the falkner team), any suggestions?

[onyx ice]

One shotting the stage turn 2 is always nice

[junior solstice]

It's going to get 1 hit first turn

[swift swan]

looks fine, though the grimsley team might have gauge issues at first

[zealous karma]

Marshal also looks like it will have gauge issues

[old orchid]

I recommend using a fast defense debuffer like Nanu or Kukui

If Sonia is not 3/5 N won't get crit buffs

[fading cradle]

alright, should i replace sonia then? i was intending to use her for gauge help and volkner for electric terrain

[old orchid]

Can you show us your support options?

[old orchid]

Kiawe or SS Morty work nicely, but both need a TM MPR to max crit

[fading cradle]

if u don’t mind me asking, what exactly does mpr mean, im still getting used to pmex abbreviations

[old orchid]

Move Point Refresh. When you pick that tile on sync grid, it allows you to have a chance to get a MP back after using the move

[fading cradle]

ooooooh alright

does it matter whether i use kiawe or ss morty or do both sort of work the same way?

[old orchid]

SS Morty has better heal and gauge generation

[fading cradle]

got it 🫡🫡🫡 is there a recommended grid for him then?

[swift swan]

you have a 1/5 ss morty, there really isn't much to take

[old orchid]

Just pick TM MPR

[swift swan]

my issue with ss morty is he doesn't buff attack quite as fast

[old orchid]

Yeah N has to buff himself

Well idt you like getting 4 TM MPR from Kiawe to max atk

[swift swan]

fair

[swift swan]

updated

[old orchid]

good params all around

[fading cradle]

i did take some of y’all’s suggestions, ss morty made it a lot easier for caitlin (mpr is actually crazy), shauntal and grimsley got dogged on, and i had to off type marshal a bit since the first team did have gauge issues

[grand trout]

Roark gaming

[trail smelt]

Aww yiss SCelene crushed as expected

Ready for next week

[main crow]

Funny bear moment

[versed mural]

Stuck on Grimsley Round 4 effect , been playing for 2 days so very limited amount of units . Would like recommendations

If I need to unlock any units accessible through legendary adventure will do

[old orchid]

yes you should do it first

[versed mural]

Hmm so after doing it what should by team be or what units should I be using?

[old orchid]

can you show me your medal progress?

[versed mural]

I thought these were important so I decided to focus on them , turns out it was lol , couldn't get 9/9 tho only 8/9

[old orchid]

Zamazenta, Beedrill and SS Grimsley should work

don't use Grimsley's TM

if you can, grid Zamazenta with Trainer Move MPR

[versed mural]

Thanks , I have 14k sync orbs should b fine

And also sorry to ask in advance but would it be possible to beat Alder without using super effective moves?

Or should I use Gordie? Is he good?

Since Brock or Roark don't look like reliable DPS

[old orchid]

Gordie doesn't have good dps either, but his sync is okay at 1/5 and his max move is great

Alder has very low HP so you shouldn't worry much

[versed mural]

Hmm so I should try to put Sycamore since I heard hes good and put 2 decent fillers for the type medals would be best for Alder?

[old orchid]

great thinking

[versed mural]

Alr thx will try

[grand harbor]

Lol was lucky week

On type on my strongest teams

[versed mural]

Feels a bit unnecessary but here's my first ever Champion Stadium Win! Ty Gakon

[versed mural]

Woah congrats!

[versed mural]

Honestly I thought this was gonna be another game I played for. Week and left , but it seems very fun with all the gimmicks and strategy and with all the sites and documentation on the enemy makes the whole thing so much easier.

[old orchid]

Glad you enjoy the game. When your roster is starting to glow up, you can start taking part in weekly Battle Rally seriously

[versed mural]

Hmm yeah , I'm thinking about pulling selene since her steel zone seems kinda op to pair with hop , plus I've heard the ticket mawile character is also a good steel type DD so those 3 might look good together? Plus I have accumulated 22k gems so I don't mind spending some , and if I get unlucky I can do the legendary adventures to finish the banner and reach pity if it gets to that , Sorry might be a bit off topic

[old orchid]

Yeah, better move the talk to #poma-questions you can check the pins there for banner priority chart if you are still uncertain. June is a big month in terms of gacha banner so saving is also a good choice

[versed mural]

Hmm ok I'll think about it a bit more thanks!!

[grand harbor]

Congrats

Gakon is a great help he got me through this phase too
A true hero

[old orchid]

thanks both

[loud stratus]

Oh yeah, it's all coming together

I circled the wrong thing smh

Literally TIL that ss glad's passive synergizes with this param so i'm gonna test it

[left storm]

Yeah it's pretty funny

[loud stratus]

Huh it reflected back to mid inly. Sides don't get debuffed

[left storm]

https://youtu.be/5E5R7tAV3rY?si=JQfcnesuAlnspbhg

Yeah

You can see it here a lot

[noble plaza]

Should I go with BP Val for Marshall?

[old orchid]

an offensive support + Volo + BP Valerie/Lodge Lillie should work easily

[noble plaza]

An offensive support like Sonia?

[old orchid]

yes, for Valerie's case

Lodge Lillie wants a spatk and crit support like Sabrina

[noble plaza]

yeah that makes sense

[north crown]

Another option would be to sacrifice Volo’s damage to buff LodgeLillie

[old orchid]

the 1st slot is open, so why not just bring a spatk support for her

[north crown]

Most options are too frail to accommodate for 3k

Especially with a subpar unit (can’t burst clear)

(Can’t run SE hyper offense, yada yada)

[rotund maple]

My first 3k today still can't believe how good the riley they gave us is

[keen jasper]

Like a slightly watered down Rei

[civic crater]

Yeah Riley is super good for a free unit. I’m finding that a reasonable number of totally free units can clear 3k if you’re a li’l tenacious (and they have their grids) though which is nice

[left storm]

Yeah they just need good supporting

Sycamore ex, Valerie 4* and 5* elessa clears every fairy weak 3k csmm

[old orchid]

They even brute forced Fairy weak Cynthia? Impressive

[left storm]

Mhhh I think I used mina/exless Hilbert/ex BP clemont for that

Because duh, wise x2

[grand trout]

Congrats philip dear

Soon you can 3k them all in no time

[rotund maple]

Thanks

[civic crater]

Not that you asked really, but I’ve been finding that some of the lodge units do a fine job clearing 3k at the very least for Unova (namely Lodge Rosa on water weak and Lodge Skyla on flying weak), so those might be good units to go for in Lodge

I think I actually used Skyla for flying weak Diantha, not a Unova stage but she worked fine for that

[left storm]

LSkyla is better than most freebies

And better than a lot of gen pools

[north crown]

@plush hollow You think 3k is possible with your suggested theme? (solo Cresselia pairs)

These are my options

[plush hollow]

i'm not a cs player but prob

a lot of op pairs

[north crown]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/823566290563366942/1233180107682611291/UnovaCS.png?ex=66448bb9&is=66433a39&hm=5ca91acf612093753b1f89fd325ffc1eb324d8b4472cdaeb63e88d76628a31bf&

Iron Tail DPS

[plush hollow]

ss lyra can make the opponent never move

wait those are teams

or just showing the pairs?

[north crown]

Pairs

Ignore the last set

[plush hollow]

idk

even with no synergy most of the combinations of op pairs should clear

and if you're trying to have synergy

people that play cs more should be better at helping with that than me

[left storm]

Guess the unit

Close, it's goofy aah Gloria

[eternal lodge]

Ready for next week

[lunar meadow]

what is tapu koko doing?
wouldn't basically any kanto mon to boost the master passive be better?

[civic crater]

How are you going to deny that contagious smile? That’s better than any 10% boost.

[paper summit]

I mean, it's likely just for SMUN stacks, but on type doing either is a moot point

[lunar meadow]

ya, i did like a 4450 pre-sync with my ice type team last time lol

its hard to not just obliterate everything now with ice

[north crown]

EggLapras would literally be better

[onyx ice]

Egg glaceon even better

[dark osprey]

True. Egg glaceon would surely add to that team without assuming NC Red's move level being 3/5.

If SS Hau is 3/5 he's also got mind games to add to that team along with speed buffs and the SMUNs

[north crown]

Yo I did the solo Cresselia units 15k CSMM run 😎
Link: #1030190996773929033

[lunar meadow]

I clicked the link.
I don't understand.

Do you mean you just used units in the CS that can solo the Cresselia LA fight?

[north crown]

yep

[lunar meadow]

Oh ok.
Weird theme, but I would assume those were some of the strongest units anyway lol

[north crown]

actually not really..? it's somewhat restricting because they are somewhat all rounders.

[swift swan]

Oh same! #1011173305702690876 message

Gonna do moltres next

(not sure if i even have enough)

[eternal lodge]

boosts articuno dmg and nuke just by existing

[mellow linden]

No egg Glaceon?

Ice Zone would be a much stronger boost than SS Hau (and tbh there's better teammates than SS Hau for NC Red anyway)

[onyx ice]

Nc Rosa should be better teammate than SS hau (especially if you aren't using ice zone and/or hail)

[eternal lodge]

No

[north crown]

Can’t you just grab some random SEUP pair

Oh wait that’s Dana

[north crown]

I’m pretty sure boosting Kanto Spirit with someone like Oak. Random debuffs are better than nothing.

[eternal lodge]

I believe smun would be better

[gleaming jolt]

Is 3k possible with off typing with these teams?

[nocturne geyser]

Might be tough

[swift swan]

uhhh geeta and rika will fight for zone, no?

not sure what's winona doing in the Shauntal team

[old orchid]

the first 3 teams can work, MC Pikachu doing nothing in Caitlin team, Rei and Sycamore are fighting for first sync and Sycamore doesn't have much synergy with Rei

[nocturne geyser]

Have you tried 2k and 2.5k yet and maybe adjust your params that suits you best.

[swift swan]

the Solgaleo team (i assume it's for grimsley) should work fine

[nocturne geyser]

And yeah the rika and geeta zone overriding… maybe adjust that one

[silver dirge]

Not sure how far you're going to get with offtype Sidney - his nuke is great but you've got no DPS

[left storm]

Yeah you'd need to sync mid twice

Then sync sides once each

Sounds long and arduous

[swift swan]

i would assume rosa will be hard carrying with the sleeplock

[left storm]

Even with sleeplock it ain't easy

[swift swan]

mhm

[left storm]

She wants to sync

And unlike other sleepers she can't sync>sleep

[old orchid]

Winona is there to flinch to buy turns i guess

[left storm]

Sounds like a lot of RNG for nothing

Why not run a water type + Winona

[old orchid]

yeah, Cyrus works perfectly well as a dpser

[left storm]

Even 1/5 Kris might actually work better than Sidney there

[gleaming jolt]

• cancellation of sun

[swift swan]

but since shauntal is water weak i don't see why you picked sidney instead of any water damage dealer

[gleaming jolt]

Not doing sufficient damage, that's why I'm shifting to offtype

[silver dirge]

Can you share your water types?

[swift swan]

which ones have you tried

[gleaming jolt]

Wait a sec

[left storm]

Trust me, Sidney offtype isn't an answer

Also palkia is a solid option

If Kris somehow doesn't work

[toxic cobalt]

Trying other on-type teams is usually much easier than trying to figure out something off-type

[nocturne geyser]

Just waiting for NC dark and ghost(especially ghost) dps

[gleaming jolt]

I did tried Barry and Crasher

[left storm]

Kris is 1/5?

[gleaming jolt]

2/5

[left storm]

She should work then if gridded

[gleaming jolt]

Ok I will try

[left storm]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1800/16000?s=2&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFCAoREhMWGB8hMDEzNA

[gleaming jolt]

Do I have to Ex her?

[left storm]

This should be minimum

To help with the clear

Ex helps but if your parameters aren't too fucked up she can work exless

[gleaming jolt]

K

[gleaming jolt]

Then who will work best with Rei?

[old orchid]

a tank and a defense debuffer

[old orchid]

you can use Nessa (0 grid investment) or Cyrus

[gleaming jolt]

BP Clemont?

[old orchid]

he works, for the 2nd slot you can bring another dmg dealer or flincher

[lyric gyro]

Guys. Think I can solo?

[north crown]

not solo with this pair -_-

[lyric gyro]

Hmm...

Well... who can

I'mma try anyways cause I'm persistent.

[old orchid]

no one, tbh

[lyric gyro]

Okay, this looks harder than I thought. Screw solos.

[left storm]

Soloing requires damage

And decent bulk

Eggmons and 5* BP don't have much of either

[lyric gyro]

Still gotta try.

[silver dirge]

Well there is a line to draw between difficult & impossible, but knock yourself out if you wish to do so

[lyric gyro]

Wish me luck.

[lean lion]

Were you able to solo

?

[lyric gyro]

Naw. Screw it. It's too hard.

And I ain't trying to get all my Eggmons up to 3☆.

That would be a waste.

[silver dirge]

[swift swan]

hides all my 4* eggmons, with some being 5*

[left storm]

Insane that the pairs with no bulk and damage can't solo uh

[undone ether]

hrm. i think i can change up NY Dawn for Dialga xD

yep that should do it.

(just gonna have to not Dragon Zone until i'm ready to nuke)

[gleaming jolt]

Thankyou so much guys . Earlier it was looking impossible to reach 15k points, but I did it thanks to you all.

The battle against Shauntal was hell the toughest!
But after 20 tries or so (maybe more, I am trying this battle from 1 day, doing nothing else in the game) I defeated her!

For contrast:

[old orchid]

For future references i recommend replacing Morty with a rain setter, allows Kris to clear faster

Rain setters like Winona and Tech Gyarados have moves to flinch

[gleaming jolt]

I tried that also, the reason I used BP Morty and NC Rosa because of the 4x Sync buff + Sleep and flinch

[lean lion]

Or May if you have her. Does solid damage to sides. Especially helpful for non EX Kris

[old orchid]

You can adjust your params to afford the setter

They can help you removing the need of constant turn denials

[gleaming jolt]

I did!
I tried many different params with several different sync pairs as well. The closest to defeating her were these three I used. So I just spent some more battles for flinch and sleep to work in coordination. I knew that once get rid of Shauntal the side pairs will be piece of cake! And it happened

Her sync move is so devastating

[lean lion]

Ideally you KO mid before sync so that shouldn't be a problem

Is Rosa EXRd?

[gleaming jolt]

Yeah she is!
What's KO?

[lean lion]

Knock out

[gleaming jolt]

Yeah Ig my params were not good during I was using Winona, but now I remember what I params I chose in my last battle against Shauntal.
I will try it with with Winona also.
Phew I am so glad this is over!

[old orchid]

[urban cave]

There's a water weak stage this week?

Nice time to do some Gyarados gaming

[undone ether]

Shauntal's stage o/

[swift swan]

updated

[old orchid]

Half sync my behatred

[trail smelt]

Only thing of note this week is that I half synced Iris for maximum dishonor LMAO

In any case anyone else got the vibe they’re about to introduce Paldean CS from the event?

[manic kiln]

should be, but they have to finish the current cycle first (kanto and alola left), they probably align paldea CS with the anni
and still missing 2 elite 4, they can be released in the next 2 months, or at least appear in events

[versed meteor]

Where perm field parameters

[fading cradle]

is there a half sync parameter…

[undone ether]

R4

[grand trout]

Galar crying

[steel kelp]

Best round

[keen jasper]

People complain about half sync, but it's literally free 500 points

[fading cradle]

half sync is literal war flashbacks for me

[lean lion]

Half-sync and perma WTZ are my 2 favorite round params

[old orchid]

Arch what have you done to Trout

[silver dirge]

Passed on my legacy to carry on when I'm gone

[lean lion]

I won't let you down

[silver dirge]

I know

[keen jasper]

Half sync is lowkey one of my favorite round params

[silver dirge]

I played around a 'lil with sprint EXR wally today and damn

Insane unit

[keen jasper]

Wait, what are the parameters that can be used besides -1 and -2 sync that can be cheesed with half sync?

I guess this:

• Half MP
• Half HP
• Strike/Tech/Support Takes x3 Damage
• -3 Stats to Your Team
• +3 Stats to Enemy Team

[lean lion]

-3 stats is so good with SS Glad + Impervious support

[keen jasper]

Nah, do -3 stats without Impervious units

[lean lion]

[keen jasper]

I did it with NC Blue, but I cheesed with Initial Guard

[lean lion]

Hoping for NC Kantrio rerun sometime this year 🤞

[keen jasper]

It's too early

Wait for late December or January

[undone ether]

I kinda want Perma WTZ. Cuz i can do sheningans with like....

SC Selene, SS Lyra, 1/5 volo to smaller extent.
Or just Mix Red sheningans.

[fading cradle]

who’s better for the half sync parameter, i only have caitlin and shauntal left 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

[steel kelp]

Whatever team can kill

[mellow linden]

Yeah, half-Sync rounds are much more dependent on your team(s) than the opponent

[fading cradle]

i did shauntal, it was a little tough since i had minor gauge issues but everything worked out 🫡

[nocturne pawn]

what was the point of ghetsis

[fading cradle]

i needed some super effective hits ☠️ honestly shauntal was more of a yolo for me 🤷‍♀️

[zealous karma]

In the future if you need an ice team I’d prolly recommend Ghetsus Lucian and a spatk/crit buffing support ex unit, or if you want to off type with Lyssandre then I’d definitely bring someone like May for rain

[fading cradle]

i’ll definitely consider this!

now how do i 3k a stage in master mode

[old orchid]

the pins have a guide on tackling 3k CSMM

do note that 3k is very team dependent

[lyric gyro]

Hey guys! I'm going to try beating Unova's Champion Stadium! Think I can beat it?

With just Eggmons?

[dark osprey]

No

At least not 3K

[old orchid]

It may be possible with sleep chaining and insane skill/timing

[wicked junco]

3K I don't think so, full eggmons teams don't have the speed for gauge, nor the MGR required for consistent sleepchaining

[lyric gyro]

Yea. I only got two Sleepers so I currently have to rely on my 40% flinchers. That... or brute force.

[swift swan]

even with sleep chaining, the opponents will cycle through enough TMs, they will get to sync eventually, and most eggmons will struggle tanking the sync if you're on master mode

[lyric gyro]

I'm trying Hard mode. I know that I can't beat master mode with Eggmons.

[manic mica]

Did my first CSMM 15k solo. It was pretty hard

[sick inlet]

Close to my clears

I mean

Identical except for LuSS

[manic mica]

I used LuSS since I didn't really have anyone else who can quickly reach sync on type

CNate makes such quick work of Iris it's funny. Grimsley was annoying since one Liquidation and Red dies

Caitlin was an mpr check

Shauntal was very easy with CRed

[trail smelt]

Shoot I completely forgot the fairy stadium is coming

Oh I do have enough units to monotype fairy

I don’t wanna this time though LMAO

[lyric gyro]

You don't have to. Just units that have Fairy-type moves.

[steel kelp]

Or do the better thing and offtype cause fairy units suck

[north crown]

poison stall:

[dark osprey]

Guess they're only hesitant on a monotype run not that they lack fairy damage dealers. With strong supports Diantha, BP Valerie, Katherine, Mina, Lodge Lillie, Palentines Serena and SS Gladion would clear decently well.

Probably got an extra zone setter as well in the egg lab

[undone ether]

Imma just offtype .-.

Hum yeah i think i can offtype if my fairy teams cant do much hrm

[north crown]

I'ma try ontyping the entire thing

[undone ether]

gl o/

honestly, i can do Palentines Dawn as well, but not quite ssure if she can do it 1/5

Diantha also, stuck in 1/5

[north crown]

abuse sleep lmao

~~have OP supports carry ~~

[undone ether]

have OP supports kuku

[north crown]

I wonder how well 1/5 PalentineDawn nuke would fare with SEUP and whatnot

[undone ether]

oh huh, i thought she had like -ATK down or -SP.DEF or something for her Sync Damage, its essentially NC Serena's Sync Multiplier 😮

might EX her then 🙂

[north crown]

yeah - she's just beta ChampSerena.

[rich needle]

Ur horse isn’t good enough?

[undone ether]

she's 2/5 so she's lacking the extra omph

[gleaming jolt]

This is roughly what I can do!
I thinks I had to offtype Grimsley and Caitlin!
And maybe the other three team can work!

These are not final match-ups though, it is just a rough estimate!

[rich needle]

Even with rebuff that’s crazy

[rich needle]

If you have Bianca

Infinitely better than mew

[gleaming jolt]

I don't have!

[rich needle]

O

[north crown]

just get some random spdef debuffer then

actually... a spatk buffer might be better for faster buffing

[gleaming jolt]

Okay! Let me check if I have someone like that.

I have a question!
What actually NC Rosa's Psychic and Fighting type rebuffs do?

[gleaming jolt]

Because then I had to replace NC Rosa with Rosa probably?

[north crown]

nah, just replace Mew

[gleaming jolt]

K

[rich needle]

Rebuffs in general are damage enhancers

If you lower a rebuff it’s like lowering type resistance

Conversely if you increase rebuff you increase type resistance

[north crown]

Mewtwo attacking turn 2 be like:

[rich needle]

But that’s incredibly rare

[gleaming jolt]

Okay

Thanks

[silver dirge]

Her psychic rebuff increases psychic type damage taken by the target by 30%

fighting type rebuff would similarly increase fighting type damage

[undone ether]

aight pasio csmm time

[manic kiln]

mono clear done, should've used a def buffer for bruno, close combat spam was annoying, but easy CS overall

[devout viper]

What is the skill that is blocking damage on Nate? I’m going for an all ditto type run so I’m using dragon on him and everything is doing minimal damage

[manic kiln]

you need rebuff

[devout viper]

I did rebuff him too ;-; Lance has dragon rebuff and I used it on him but nothing

Anything else? What is this top skill? I tried to see what it was in the PoMa tools app and it dosent show

[manic kiln]

offtype? check your param then

[manic kiln]

he takes reduced dmg if no rebuff/status change

the 1st passive

[devout viper]

I did the offtype is off

Bruh he was paralyzed and rebuffed

What more does the game want lmao

[manic kiln]

i think pomatool is missing some passives, check the graphic in the pin

[devout viper]

Yeah I have no clue

[old orchid]

sounds like param issues

[devout viper]

I found it

[old orchid]

[devout viper]

I was so confused since the whole time I’ve been using special units lmao

[manic kiln]

[trail smelt]

Off types but still mono’d

Technically

lol

[devout viper]

Wh… ok ok wait so it gets rid of the passive on the sides… but he still is taking no damage

[manic kiln]

you need to rebuff/apply status change on all 3

[devout viper]

I did

All three were paralyzed

Or do I need to apply a status and rebuff?

[manic kiln]

paralyze is status condition not status change

[trail smelt]

You can also apply gradual healing on them haha

[devout viper]

… oh my god it wants me to confuse or flinch not. Ugh this game I stg

[old orchid]

it's not the same as Acute Senses

[trail smelt]

Oh thought it was acute sense

[old orchid]

the passive can be shut down by rebuff

[trail smelt]

Yeah it’s different now that I look at it

[devout viper]

Wait really?… tbh that isn’t too bad of an idea. I can bring Leon then and actually get work done by rebuffing everything.

[trail smelt]

Nah I was wrong

It doesn’t

[devout viper]

Crap. Alright I guess I need Lance again.

[trail smelt]

Although now that I’m looking at my Nate team, I forgot if anyone applies rebuff there

[devout viper]

He’s the only one who can rebuff for me. Glad I didn’t burn him earlier

[manic kiln]

negative status change

• rebuff
• restrained
• no evasion
• interference: trap, flinch, confuse

gradual healing is a status change but not "negative"

[devout viper]

Huh… I could try this with Zerena then. Wish I hadn’t used her earlier now ;-;

IG I’ll finish with Fairy for now and redo it after.

We’ll I beat it but I am not looking forward to redoing this stage

So many close calls with flinch/sleep procs

[full mesa]

This special CS really pushed my team building skills to the max. Also I found out that Mina/Valery/LLillie need ex and even then they might not be able to do 3k CS with medium supports...

[manic kiln]

they should be fine doing the 2 easier stages: bruno and hala, the other 3 need good supports

[sick inlet]

We have special CS?

Oh

Ohhh

That's today

Lemme go do mine

[manic kiln]

[old orchid]

Hala hits hard tho

[manic kiln]

Hala and Bruno: Close Combat
at least they don't have a bunch of passives

[old orchid]

Hala gets 1.2x boost on attack too

the old man doesn't have mercy

[left storm]

Nah they really don't

If you have decent enough suoports

My Mina/Valerie are exless and did every fairy stage with f2p supports at 3k

[full mesa]

Then I have issues with parameters

[left storm]

Lodge Lillie can likely work exless too because of seup

And debuffs

BP val is just a free W

The issue is more units like Kali

[manic kiln]

yeah non ex lodge lillie can 3k any fairy stage from any region, I usually use her on my f2p team

[left storm]

She can nuke but her DPS is real struggle material

[left storm]

Aside fairy weak Cynthia, I cleared every fairy stage with syca+Valerie+SS elesa/hop

Valerie is 4*

[sick inlet]

I only have 14 fairy types
Not counting Eggmons

That's all I used to beat the special CSMM

[dusty crater]

That was a cute cs.

15k Monotype

[sick inlet]

All them better units

Mom mom i want cute cs clear

Mom: we got cute cs clear at home

Cute cs clear at home:

[sand karma]

I hate drasna so much
She made me offtype a stage for the first time in 2 years

[old orchid]

For Hala clear did you reset for many OG Lillie's TM MPR or just save 1 for each LLillie's sync?

[sick inlet]

Hala's issue for me was my parameters + my gauge management, you can do it without MPR, but you would still like to have that extra heal if possible. Both Lillies got syncro healings making this bit easier to do

You want to neutralize hala's damage asap, so debuffing and also not wasting all TMs on the two supports

[light oak]

Average special cs

[old orchid]

Thanks for the tips 🫡

[versed meteor]

Is this 3k?

[silver dirge]

It is

[light oak]

3k*5=15k

[versed meteor]

Thats crazy how did the marnie even clear i ran a team of f2p support with her but it was still close fiery wrath was doing only 4k

[silver dirge]

I've done the Marnie one before it's a tough one

params matter a lot and her gauge is terrible

[grand trout]

Whew beaten pasio cs using only fairies

It was tough (fuck CC on 3/5 of them) but worth it

[fading cradle]

nate is kicking my ass rn 😭

dk what to do, i already used my best supports 💔💔

[old orchid]

you need to bring a status change unit to shut down his gimmick

and bring a evasion debuffer / accuracy buffer

do you have Penny?

[fading cradle]

sadly no

my fairy rosters just straight up suck

[old orchid]

you have to offtype then

can you show me your available roster?

[fading cradle]

yeah, ive been off typing this entire stadium, you wanna see like my entire available roster?

[old orchid]

yup

[fading cradle]

the stupid tracker never likes showing me my image so i had to do it the tedious way, forgive me 😵‍💫

+1

[old orchid]

what is your aim? 3k or just beat Nate's ass?

[fading cradle]

beat nate’s ass ☠️ i don’t really care about mm atm

[old orchid]

you can try Gordie May SS Lysandre, use Tar Shot on middle to shut down the dmg reduction

you don't have many options sadly

that team can clear pre sync

[fading cradle]

got it, how should i sequence their moves? im a little stuck on how i would execute this

[old orchid]

Lysandre's TM, then 2 Steam Eruption

after syncing with him, use the B Move

be sure to setup rain early to maintain gauge

May's TM also helps with gauge filling

[fading cradle]

pain

[left storm]

Kinda sad I had to use NC Bede because there's no non-psychic support with psychic moves that can tank 3k STR (my only choices were Wallace/Lyra/celesa)

[grand trout]

With Nate's buffed stats is ss wally meant to counter him? Or penny

To suck his stats

[left storm]

Penny is made for Nate

[grand trout]

Why do you need psychic specifically

[left storm]

Using pairs with ontype moves but offtype sync

[grand trout]

I don't understand what that means

[left storm]

HJasmine kinda fits because it's technically a dragon type without dragon type moves

[grand trout]

WAIT

It's unova

Nvm

I was like these units have no fairy what

[left storm]

Every team aside the psychic and dragon ones have a super effective move without a super effective sync

[fading cradle]

i almost had him

my later attempts haven’t been successful either

[left storm]

Parameter issue maybe

[fading cradle]

ive been using the use special moves one, literally almost had him

[left storm]

No I mean point parameters

Maybe too much hp

Or defences

[fading cradle]

im not doing master mode

[left storm]

Ah

[fading cradle]

im sick of this, i just want it to be over 🫠🫠🫠

[main crow]

That was fun

[empty portal]

Can you beat this Pasio Stadium with non Fairy types?

[paper summit]

yes, special cs never demands you to use the featured type

[main crow]

Yeah if you're lacking the ontype DPS you can always stall or offtype

[fading cradle]

still stuck on nate, ive been trying the setup gakon recommended and it just doesn’t work out 🫠🫠🫠 wondering if it’s an execution issue

[old orchid]

Are Lysandre and May's Water theme skill at max level? Does Lysandre have CS2 and are properly gridded?

You can try another option like Viola

[fading cradle]

i can try that. what’s cs2 btw ☠️

[lean lion]

Critical Strike 2

A lucky skill you can get by using Crunchy cookies

[fading cradle]

ohhhh, so i have to test my luck with the cookies huh

[lean lion]

It's a 1/8 chance, yeah

[fading cradle]

well that’s just fun

oh i got it, nice

[wary fulcrum]

Hey guys, all good?

This team can clear this stage?
