#Champion Stadium
1 messages · Page 276 of 1
THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE
i ended up with aaron r3 so er
i have phoebe r4
I do recommend aaron r1 so he is forced to use up heal order early
^ i did aaron r3 and uh, using heal order when he was at 25% hp and getting back to like 85% hp was a little crazy ngl
i just somehow managed to survive sync and clemont nuked
r4 phoebe shouldnt be so bad right since shes spdef target
being able to on type the entire stadium is something i find impressive
i hardcore yoloed everything
You have to apply status condition
I should probably make an attempt at the electric stadium, is there a tldr for each stages's gimmick?
Does the ally healing down param only affect moves, not passives? So synchro healing amd recuperation still heal the full amount?
Iirc it affects all healing, including those
It no longer affects the healing amount from passives
Nice. I saw sync heal and recup heal a lot with that param a couple of times, so just wanna confirm
Oh they changed it? Interesting, when was this?
It’s been several months, one update they just said it was a bug and changed it
I’m guessing in some translation, it implied that only moves were affected
Nice
stats down? who are you using?
outside of that it's fine
Volkner 5/5 ex and N 1/5 ex with nc Rosa
don't take the stats down param
rosa's offensive buffing is unreliable and slow
unless you give N his impervious cookie, but that leaves your other two units very vulnerable
Just so you know, Rosa B move animation is long as crap, and that eats into ET duration
Just be wary of the timing because the last thing you need is ET to run out in the wrong moment
which one of these are left for Lance
no legendary adventure units?
have you done any legendary adventure?they are in the story section
In the story menu, complete all the chapters with the red exclamation
they give the best f2p players
U will get 8 Villain pairs. Like Giovanni Mewtwo, Cyrus Palkia etc
+legexchange
When completing a Legendary Adventure in the Main Story section, you will be awarded a sync pair, 4 vouchers and 20 power-ups
(usable on that pair only)
- Trade the vouchers for copies of that pair (in the shop > legendary adventure tab)
- DO NOT TRADE the power-ups, use all 20 on the unlocked pair (in upgrade > potential tab)

remember this @rare river
Very important
extremely important
Those pairs are good in the beginning but u need certain events to happen before u can get them to 6 stars. Don't stress that though. They work well at L140 too
lvl 120 is enough for where you are in game rn
+101
> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you've done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding & gameplay.
1. Build your team around a damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or off-type if they're strong enough). This can be a
/
striker or a
tech. Read the unit's kit carefully - moves & passives - to see what they can buff themselves. Ideally you want to be at +3 critical-hit rate and +6 attack or special attack depending on the unit. Damage dealers should be slot 3 in tactics
2. Choose a support
to put in slot 1 tactics so it takes the damage. Your support should cover the buffs and damage dealer needs they cannot max by themselves reliably - critical hit rate and SpAtk/Atk being the main ones. If your damage dealer is self-sufficient, you can look at defensive, healing or other utility supports instead.
3. The 3rd slot is flexible and depends on your other two pairs. You could take a tech focusing on utility such as debuffs or field effects to enhance your damage dealer, or another support that covers a team need like defenses, healing or boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a 2nd damage dealer! It's important to experiment & remember that a successful team needs to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealier efficiently so they can start attacking as soon as possible!
See the image below for a visual guide. And check out #1010307000346878062 or the bot commands pinned in #bot-zone for more information on Triple Queue & other game information!
read this as well
They also give u good pairs in different Pokemon types so after u complete those stories we can talk about Champion Stadium
I've done 1 stage of Tornadus. Haven't beat the second stage of Legendary for him
yeah so, do legendary adventures and use sycamore, cyrus and either may(if you pulled her) or Lillie
not that
that's legendary arena
Legendary adventures is the one with Villain faces
in story section there's a tab with a bunch of legendaries on it called legendary adventures
*legendary faces
villain face is villain arc
Lol it's been so long I forgot that
lmao
Oh. I haven't done any villain arc yet
It's ok you don't get anything cool from them
not villain arc,(do those as well ofc but) prioritise legendary adventures@rare river
when you open the story thing what do you see?
Okay. I'll need to get Cyrus and sycamore from there to best Lance
do each one (priority order is sycamore, cyrus,hop,ghetsis, silver ,gio,zinnia)
Complete these to get some pairs that will be 5/5 before any of ur other pairs
also get hop
Okay
@rare river also DO NOT forget this
Do it in Doom's order. Each pair has a use case which we can explain after u complete the whole section
I won't
good, a few new guys forgot recently

They would be scared shirtless if Dr Doom came to them💀
Brb converting all my power ups now
I would suggest holding onto them till datamine
there's a datamine every month where we learn everything about the update
What about Bianca banner👀
usually we don't know the exact date but this time we do
Ah okay
already got enough of an early roster
+datamine
Datamine usually happens at the end of each month between the 25th and 29th (PDT)
Check #datamines for raw dumps and #1012256199128915968 for recap and schedules.
Here is a history of previous datamine dates : https://tinyurl.com/pmexdataminehistory
The July Datamine is believed to release <t:1719464400:f> due to Android Device Changes (said in the in game news)
If I hadn't pulled Galar trio when I started, CSMM would have been painful
in case next month gets something extremely busted
I got unlucky on Bianca. I think I did 3 pulls on that banner and didn't get
Anni is also in September so I suggest saving a month or 2 before
Okay. I'll just save and made due with what I have.
that's not unlucky. Hmmm, if you already did 3 pulls then if next month datamine isn't busted you can pull on her if you get enough for pity
I'll work on these legendaries today
Yeah Deca, Datamine happens mostly on 27th or the Monday after if 27th is on a weekend. U will see a lot of datamine gifs in the lounge so u won't miss it even if u tried
avoid pulling on a banner until you get to pity amount (36.6k)
Holy that much? I don't think I've even collected that many gems since starting lol.
I'd get to like 9k or 12k then do pulls on a banner or two lol
brain rot also increases 30 times during datamine time so do not go there for advice
you definitely have
starting gems are like 40k
you get 36.6k every 1 and a half months @rare river
Oh cool
you also haven't done many achievements so you will get even more from there
if you are lucky and can handle saving you could probably guarantee all anni units even if they give 3
Let's hope!
Right
Spending 36.6k gems on a banner gets u to 400 points
Is blue/blastoise better than argenta/skarmory for a tank support?
At 400 points, u get one free selection (u should always choose the featured pair)
But don't go spending all 36.6k gems on one banner if u already got the featured pair
I mean it's not hoping considering how many new player gems you have left
No, but he is the best unit to get from kanto free ticket
If u get the pairs well with 5 multis, forget the banner. U can always farm for candies to increase move levels. U will learn that slowly.
In any event, always get the coins first with the voucher. Remaining items u can get as u use stamina on the events in the following week
Do not use Candy on a pair u got for free though. For now, use candy exclusively on Master Fairs. Then as u learn the game u will know better
Complete Legendary Adventures then we can talk more
you will also get a ton of gems
Sounds good
Thanks for all the pro tips boys
Appreciated.
I was focused on all the wrong things.
I don't understand what I'm missing
Specific orbs for blue?
I can do Argenta's grid tho
@graceful oriole
The yellow orbs u can get from training area
The blue ones are character specific. They show u which character they can be used on
U will also have some character specific orbs for urself and Pikachu
@rare river
Weird. I don't know where I would have got specific orbs for Argenta then that I can use for her but none for Blue
Where can I get Blue orbs ?
u just don’t have enough sync orbs to continue activating blue’s tiles. only other way i know to get character specific orbs from what i’ve observed is resetting the sync grid but i could be wrong
I reset argentas grid thinking that I'd get orbs for Blue but I still can't spend into his.
But I can with Argenta
I had only used a little bit in Argenta
if you reset argenta’s grid, you’ll get character orbs that can only be used on her grid
the yellow (orange?) orbs are the ones that can be used for everyone
Oh once they're spent they "lock" to that character even if reset ?
But then how do I get more blue orbs lol
Just in general.
Like how am I supposed to advance Blues tiles ?
i haven’t seen any way to get specific ones other than exchanging (which don’t even offer ss blue orbs), only way you can get more of the yellow orbs is by the training area. there’s also a chance a trainer might gift some to you and they can also appear in the lodge expeditions iirc
yeah they’re pretty easy to get from the training area. that area doesn’t take up stamina either. very hard gives 900 orbs but i forgot how much the other difficulties give. it’s a good place to start gathering them
Yea been doing that daily ay least
Gosh I hate Siebold
Can’t do the right params again, I feel nothing works
I take stats down off and whats the alternative?
Round 2, maybe 3 is better?
If you're struggling this hard on-typing you may just want to consider off-type or Poison stall instead
Is this the special CSMM?
May you tell us where do you find the struggle?
Like do you lose to sync
Do you not do enough dmt
Dmg
Etc
I'm trying the special CS. So I'm trying to ration my good units. Is it good to start with Aaron? And who do I use? I can't do any real damage to center.
is your hau strike ex role@dim depot
No but I can make him
make him strike exr and do Aaron with him round 1. Avoid offensive params and use a support that can give hau +1 crit and+2 spa(and preferably some defence). Also pick increased countdown. Let aaron use heal order before syncing then start attacking him and nuking him with ss hau
that's how I beat aaron 3.5k so it should work for 3k
you can also use volkner with ss hau if you are worried about e terrain duration
SS Hau shouldn’t need his EX Role to beat Aaron
He’s also far from the only option. If you wanted to build a team around Ash, SS Piers, and probably even Lodge Volkner or regular Hau it would probably work
You can also easily run a dual damage-dealer team with SS Hau to make the sides easier to deal with
That's what I'm thinking, within budget constraints
Can just run both Haus and a Sp. Atk + crit Support (ideally not NC Blue since he’s very useful for dealing with the champion fight gimmicks)
Okay so the problem is I can take care of the sides, but again, center takes way too little damage overall
What team and what parameters?
If you struggle this much use ash for aaron, sst red for siebold, ncblue can carry anyone for cheren. Those 3 already cover 3 stages, you even have enough to mono. SsPiers and SsHau for another team, then Elesa/N/Marnie
Hmm perhaps
This is about how the attempts always go. That recovery is so brutal. His sync even on crit does so little damage.
You really don’t need to budget your power level as hard as you’re doing unless you’re trying to do some sort of challenge run
And if it’s a challenge run the amount of help we can provide drops a bit
Hmm, so throw in Ash anyway? I mean, this guy does not take damage
I more mean you can run both Haus instead of presumably running at best MC + Torchic and an eggmon
Or like, SS Piers + SS Hau or something
I was running the MC cake and either Kris/Jolteon or MC Pikachu
Better run both Hau + Kris and a good tank
Who is a good tank here?
Should be an 6EX support with offensive buffs
You have many OP units why saving them for just 1-2 fight later, just spread them out, ash can 1 shot aaron even with full hp parameters. Ash is self sufficient so you can use defensive support and not wasting time buffing your dps. I think phoebe and siebold hit much harder than aaron, he’s just a meat shield. You need a nuker and 2/5 sshau can’t really hit hard enough with his sync
I ran this team (Volkner → SSHau) and imo it's not very good
You need to play the long game
How's your params? Don't buff Siebold's offenses too much then
N is a hot garbage tbf 
He's an awful unit
Esp at 1/5
For reference I ran NCRosa 3/5, N 5/5+10E, and SSHau 1/5 and it was hell to clear
You only use b relic song once
Then she just spams her tm
Joining in to say N sucks
That is all
with 5/5 N i see it's skill issue
Well
I cleared it easily
What I'm saying is that anything less is hell to clear
All of his good multipliers are 3/5+
I have him at 1/5 non EX. Sonia and Volkner hard carried him against Siebad
Wtf not using ET
Gauge is an issue even with Sonia's help
Blame Volk for flinch
Wtf

I love N enough to be honest and say he sucks
Also 2 Surf kills N
1 surf kills mine
I went full glass cannon

NCRosa spammed her tm
SSHau spammed Fairy Wish
Basically N needs to hog all frames
Sync with N and then BS and pray you kill
Smh no def debuff
I read BS bullshit wtf
Me2
Oh, I can probably go for 14k points, so that should make things a bit easier
Because BS is BS
So true
N just has no innate multipliers sadly it's really bad
At least he does PB well and gets a free move every so often hurr
My guy needs side grid expansion
His additional grid nodes are quite good but for some reason he got nothing at 2/5 like SSKorrina as a recent example
Kinda odd
He needs a node that replaces outrage with zekrom kick
Fr, Lance got side nodes, N should get them too
Why tf is focus rush a 4/5 node? Bro i need you to crit the sync
He has follow through 9 for that
It's actually quite solid
He's fairly self suff
(At 5/5)

Anything less is sayonara
That being said I'm not trying to shame 1/5 N enjoyers
But the fact of the matter is that in this content that demands a higher level of play, what lower sync level Ns lack have to be made up with support choice, playstyle, and choosing the right parameters to tackle the fight
But he's good on at least one of these battles, right?
Yes
He laughs at the likes of clear advantage and acute sense
He can completely ignore any Healthy Advantage
Which if you're lacking a competent and consistent paralyzer, is pretty great
Had to go with Ash for Aaron. No other way to do enough damage on him.
N seems pretty good at Siebold. It's still tough because yeah, Surf really is a run-ender.
N is pretty much glued to Sonia, and Sonia happens to be the unit designed for Siebold

Wait really?
I guess Sonia does give everything N wants
And she can take a razor shell
Pre-sync or sink

But depending on your N, that may not be a viable strategy
All of his multipliers are locked behind grid
Adjust accordingly
eh it's still possible
Pair N with Hilbert to complete the Impervious Duo
he definitely needs terrain
i used N (2/5) and Sonia against another battle. Acerola.
Siebold gets SST Red + Holiday Whitney
imagine using his exclusive skill
Bring an omega buffer like SCSteven or ET
Otherwise 2/5 N and below are really quite lacking out of the gate
Just dual DPS

Yes actually
tbf i used him to nuke
Potter
LMAO
;o
Yer a trainer Harry
My Elesa and Volkner obliterated Acerola
But idk if it's because they're strong or if she's weak
how about both
1.5x spdef says hello
Oh, this could be what he needs to just get by.
Well
There's 2 approaches here: i) stack on as much front loaded damage as possible ii) play the long game and support sync
The thing about the 1st approach is that N doesn't have any innate multipliers, so you either need his grid or members that can omega buff his damage
Do give ET, Rebuffers, SEUN, or PMUN a try
Wtf non EX Volkner
I'm afraid your penalty is severe, Gakon
in our dream
Not Lodge Volkner, right? What is that one even for?
if you are referring to OG Volkner in my clear he is there to setup terrain
2 down, 3 more to go
what params are you running
try reducing the strength, maximize all the attack and power on hit
rosa tanks well enough
reduce siebold's bulk as much as possible
I tried even the recommended with Adaman with him being 1/5 ex and its not working
I hate Siebold’s bulk too much
Volkner’s grid
Team
What skill do I give him
He has SE1
N has CS2
What, volkner? CS2 is better
let's try nuking with Volkner then, and N will handle DPS
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/11500/40500?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=21010101&g=AAECAwQFExUYGSMlKSorLi8 something like this
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
use up Volkner's TM since Rosa's buffs are inconsistent
Sync with Volkner first?
rosa first, then volkner
I struggle with setting the right parameters for this one
Mainly the red ones
HP or standard dmg red
full attack, as little strength as possible
? standard dmg reduction of course. you're ontyping
dont' pick HP at all if you're struggling with siebold's bulk as it is
So no stats down/up yellow param too?
do not take those stats down or up
Is this bad?
that's good
Seems to work, just avoiding the rng part and its all fine
I take opposite of this always 
Full strength
As little as possible attack
There are more points in strength than attack
Yep
For hard stages, STR is much better
Max STR +1 ATK gives 1250 PTS, but base atk is less than tripled
With same points but max atk, you'd need to make stage's hp 2.5 times the one with max STR to have same atk/points ratio
Max atk 3k vs max STR 3k
You could trade away some hp for str on max atk but would make the stage melt even more
I didn't know poma updates the stats with the params 
Very helpful
The problem is that 52k is too big of an HP pool for some pairs so you might not be able to presync
4k less hp for more than 50% more damage
52k is on the max ATK one
Max STR is 43k

And even then, 50k is easily achievable
Max atk no hp is 39k
Which is super low
But they have 5800 ATK Vs 3400
So your support isn't surviving
What kind of max attack are you taking 
Here's what i got with max attack, both PoH, i think str 9
iirc the orders of taking params may result in different outcomes
Does it?
I think we had a pinned doc about it but it is no longer pinned here
Literally the same as my previous pic
Vs 3400 with +1 atk max STR
And only 4k hp more
What
I need confirmations
Urgently

what
iirc the differences are not notable, but they exist
Huh
Yeah idk what y'all are on about
You're telling me the order I select my params affects the performance?

I need answers or problems will happen
the order parameters are taken can slightly affect the boss's stats i believe
but it is slight
In what way does it affect it
#916852044692856834 message
Maybe I shouldn't have gone physical for Acerola. Now I'm on Phoebe and I don't have good physical elec types left
Or is she not physical-only?
Oh, fat HP. Got it.
Hmm, I thought SS Piers would be better for this. He basically does no damage
Oh, wrong param lol. I'm sure this will work now.

my worldview has been changed
well it's just very negligible difference
yeah, if it was actually significant it would be widespread knowledge and a big warning in the presets 
Wait so is max strength more optimal than max attack a good portion of the time? I always do max attack and outside of situations like Siebold on the electric stadium it seems to go fairly smoothly? How do yall usually do your parameters?
If you can handle max attack then go for it, it means you don't need to pick up as much bulk
I go max attack, a good amount of strength, max damage on everything, max cd about some hp usually.Along with the usual -guage, 80%, dr from one side, etc.
Should I avoid or do anyone on certain rounds for the Pasio league?
Who should I round 1?
Avoid Siebold and Aaron on R4, and be careful with everyone on R1
I have NC Blue and SST Red but I don't want to use them willy-nilly
I could probably use NC Red and Irida to off type
This is my electric roster, who would you recommend I R1?
how much does CSMM gives BP coins again?
55 BP if you managed to clear 15k
nice i'll be able to 3/5 Kabu by monday then 
Can someone help me with a team comp/multipliers for cheren
can you show us your eligible roster?
Ow nvm I thought he always leads with bleak wind storm. It nuked me hard 
who should I pair with him?
I like to use lodge elesa to help setup cakewalk
thank you!
Should I just offtype Aaron?
I'm on R4 against Acerola. Do I have enough good pairs to beat Cheren? Would I need to off type?
NCBlue, Hau, and some third should do well
Saving NCBlue was definitely a good choice, he counters Cheren’s dmg reduction gimmick
Yeah I was told!
Acerola is so free
Then again I guess when you're juxtaposed against 3 other juggernauts that's not saying much
why
give me rng please
of all my mina syncs only one is critting at max crit rate for the past 30 mins
and then i get flinched by sides and die
this team can easily 3k but why
im using sonia on electric weak and idk who else can support mina
what team are going to use on Electric weak?
sonia elesa colress
stand
i don't under stand
i just need to presync and ko right right after
and i get the presync
keep trying again then
tho you can use Skyla instead of Sonia on this team, Elesa is self sufficient
i had to change team completely
and tbh im happy how Katherine can nuke so well for f2p
I wanted to try some pairs that I don't often use to keep the game interesting for me... but when i keep losing to stuff I can't control its hard to maintain composure
And this is why you always save the best for last
And my game fucking exited when I left the app, but doesn't matter either way

which of lorelei and bruno is easier to 3k off-type?
okay never mind i see lorelei has sync cure so i guess i have to off-type her
Lorelei is annoying in general, with +2 evasion pre sync
so try to take her down asap
laughs in nc cheren

Wut, Siebold round 2 with N, Sonia and Luxray and I hit like a floppy noodle trying to chop down a sky scraper made out of titanium
Must be parameter issue
I used one from one of the winning teams I believe
But will try again later
Thankfully Aron went down with off type
Now it’s just Acerola and the rest
Should I just off type agatha?
Yeah I am
You Sidney is 3/5, he can easily destroy Agatha
Teams I cooked up at first glance, how decent are they
What form are you gonna use SSSteven as?
Maybe speed so I can spam neo psycho cut more?
If your SSLana is 3/5 you can go Normal forme for Psy Terrain and blast them asap
If you plan to support EX then Speed forme might be the call
It depends on your strategy
For your Team 1: Might be beneficial to swap Aaron to a defense debuffer/Grassy Terrain setter to really boost Adaman. He looks useless unless you plan to use him to top off Adaman's ATK (or just grid Fanfare 2 on Skyla) or use him for flinching (or just griid Staggering 2 on Skyla)
※ I don't remember CS bosses off the top of my head so maybe you are using him to counter something specific?
I can bring colress to lower defense. Just kinda had aaron on my team to get more of his master passive or whatever it’s called
My Lana is 1/5 currently so I’ll just go speed form to support ex sync fast
Well Aaron + Adaman alone might have gauge issues but Colress should take up none if you just use Screech
Oh wait is your Colress 3/5?
Infliction Freebie is a grid not an innate passive kek
Nope
Yeah that’s the plan
If you plan to support sync with Aaron first tho, you should consider bringing a sun unit (unless you have 3/5 Adaman Drought Alert 5)
Else he'll flop like a fish out of water until he can sync again
My aaron isn’t ex’ed yet so I don’t plan on doing that
He will probably be my next one
Okay
All the other teams look fine, maybe not the champion one bc idk why both Lillie and Sonia are there unless you plan to Lillie exclusively for her sure crit next
Lillie is just kinda there, had no clue who else to put so I just threw her on
Her TM is useful to make sure Sidney's sync crits
Otherwise, could consider bringing a defense debuffer or a dark zone setter if you have one altho they are difficult to come by
Idk if there's an eggmon with Dark Zone 
is there any pair that has something similar to screech but it lowers special defense
im planning to use sidney as my main attacker for dark weak agatha
My other defense debuffs are definitely something
Man I’ve completely ignored eggmons, I need to actually start hatching them
Sidney is a physical attacker though. Similar to screech for special defense would be on limited pairs only. Ones that have metal sound or some moves with passives doing -2 special defense
Actually Sidney plus Nessa for dark dps would be a great combo without the need for debuffer/zone if needed. Need a decent support to help them though
What support would work?
Atk/crit buffer
How do I offtype Cheren CS with anni Lillie

You don't have any offtype nuker with a status change?
Lillie's Moongeist Beam ignores Cheren's DR already
Ah
Though I already killed Acerola and Phoebe
I can hit through Siebad's healthy advantage but the sync itself doesn't ignore it
I hate it
Got any Ghost Zoner for Aaron?
SSR Cynthia
I can do a pretty good amount of damage but never enough to kill him before he heals back to full
Well you can bring a defensive tank to make both her and Anni Lillie brute forcing him
You have to play a long game sadly

If you have NC Rosa, Penny or NC Blue for example, they can carry the duo on Cheren
I only have Penny
I'm always wary about saving anni Lillie for the champion because the game doens't let me see what passives they have until I beat the e4
Oh I see it
Actually
For Chere's no negative status change thingy
Is it just rebuffs?
My original plan was to bring SST Red for Cheren and just brute force it but I'm never sure if paralysis removes that passive
Rebuff is the best option, then there are confusion, trap, restrain...
Paralysis doesn't, but SST Red clears Cheren easily
I see I see
Hmm
Maybe I'll just bring SST Red with anni Lillie
And kill Siebold
And use NC Red for Cheren
Yep SST Red was an instant clear

They really need to add a parameter that decreases on type damage instead
updated
Serotonin achieved
Jfc I did it
I hated every minute of this cs
Please don't rerun this for the forseeable future
Yeah no this Electric CS is awful
electric cs was fun
Aaron is pretty bad if you’re unprepared
Birb
haha, same team for me as well
was such a short run lol
i do post sync, max HP and levels though xd
i shouldve done hp paras lol.
A week too late, but whp should I allocate
Aaron: use a strong special dmg dealer
Siebold: Sonia is a great pick against him
Cheren: bring a bulky tank and a status change to counter his DR
Phoebe has fat HP and Acerola is the easiest of the bunch, but she has innate 1.5x spdef so be aware
Hau has better nuke while Piers has better dps
plus terrain to carry another Electric
Hau wants crit and some lovin
Any crit giver
Colress gives crit
If you para then use his steel move that I can't remember
Mirror shot
1 crit per shot tho
Hilbert, N and Volkner is a good team
N really wants help to boost his dmg
is your N 2/5 or 3/5? he is better with Sonia on Siebold
i actually managed to presync'd with that team. its glorious xD
i would sync with Leaf second because the center will be dead by then
Thinking of using this vs Cheren cuz
that all I got
Yep, all I got
Shessh. I just don't have enough decent pokemon for stadium
I beat Lance finally. Did the champs differently this time. But now I can't beat Lorelei bc I have shit for grass pokemon
Grass has quite a few good picks that are accessible. If it's Hard Mode or low point Master Mode then even solo damage-dealer Gardenia should be able to just shred with a decent team
I do have her. But stuck at 4s lvl 100. She gets cooked.
You also aren't required to on-type, a strong off-type damage-dealer will work just as well
I have no more resources to level with
I'm super new. Haven't got a lot to work with yet
That's part of why you have a whole week to do it
If you can't put together a team that works with the pairs you have leveled you can just come back a different day after you've done so
Should I be worried about sync grid for all the pairs I try to use?
Outside of a few specific tiles (such as Hop's "Hop to It!: MP Refresh" tile) grid can be completely ignored for Hard Mode
And in general you shouldn't worry about grid for pairs 2/5 or lower
Why does some pairs have dps stronger than their nukee
If they're 3/5 try to utilize them
but I'd be cautious of how you use them too, in the beginning there isn't a lot of sync orbs to work with
is lodge sycamore strong enough to 3k lorelei? i don’t have any other good grass strikers.
Yes with good enough support. You don't have Brendan or SS Erika?
SS Lyra

If you've got lodge gladion, he's great for poisoning as well
Many reasons like
Better passives for moves
Mega tax
4-5 bar move of pure pain
Etc etc
nope
but i have a 5/5 ss misty... can't seem to pull anyone else
for maximum output he wants someone to help him buffing his necessary stats: +6 spatk +6 speed +6 spdef +3 crit (he can ramp his spdef by taking Acumen) at minimum
if you can fit a Grassy Terrain setter, that's set
don't have one so i guess i'll bring sycamore and hope for the best
Sabrina is a good one as she covers his buffs pretty well
you can bring a spdef debuff to enhance his dmg
Does anyone have a list that defeated the pasio special stadium? I’m having some issues
At 2500 points
what team are you trying to clear?
Basically all of them… I’ve been trying to off type (I have most pairs in the game) but I’ve been having issues
let's start with sending your Electric roster here first
please show their move level
Sonia, N, Volkner go to Siebold
Ash goes to Aaron
Elesa goes to Acerola
SST Red goes to Phoebe
NC Blue + Hau go to Cheren
fill the missing slots with pairs that can contribute
Should all pairs be electric? Or it doesn’t matter
any tips for 3k points options for Pasio Special?
I don't usually have problems with 3k weekly MMs but my ZekroN fails so hard somehow
doesnt matter
what team are you using with him?
been trying lots of combinations, Soniamper, Volkray, Surgechu, Hilbrott,
my usual 3k MM options doesnt seem to help N here
need more option combo Dx
i assume you are having trouble against Siebold?
Sonia and Volkner should work well enough
check the pins for 2500 post sync set, then add some parameters to make it 3k
Zekrom needs a lot of babysitting
even nuking Dusclops twice doesnt kill it
thank you very much, managed to finish 15k with some adjustments to my 3k options
Congrats!
Is there any f2p videos for electric special CS?
i can't believe that was a standard damage reduction round
i completely forgot i put this
i didn't knew Eusine was this strong holy
although it was Agatha and with permanent field, still impressed
You synced 4 times, by that time trap alone should've done most of the work too tbh
Could just use ssa Cynthia with any one that applies status like anyone with toxic or thunder wave
with Aura Cynthia on the team i'd recommend gridding her for Numbing Blow and putting a second damage dealer on there to deal with Phoebe'e high bulk
Boy do I love time blindness! I can’t figure out how to beat the electric CS….
Oh I did it
Phoebe was a bit Siebold like
Acerola is physical only?
Acerola is physical preferred since she has a 50% higher special defense stat than average
wise entry x1.5, effectively
Hmm i have her on round 4
I swear I’ll update my sync list soon
But here are all my units and I need help with the electric CS
Save Nc Blue for Cheren and maybe Ash
For Siebold don’t take him on r4
That is deadly
it'd be better for us if you could fill this out and share your roster through it in the future

Sync Pairs Tracker for Pokémon Masters EX
Did you miss the part where I said I’d update the sync tracker soon? It takes a while to fully update
I’m aware screenshots aren’t the best but it’s what I got atm
but from what i can see:
SST Red will be more than good enough to take on a stage for you, preferably Siebold
NC Blue with something like Hau should be great for Cheren
You could use Ash + Iono for Phoebe quite easily
Acerola is the most simple of the 5 stages, Nemona should do fine
Is there an order i should go or just whatever(besides siebold R4)
I would actually consider avoiding Siebold on round 4 since SST Red doesn’t need the boost and Siebold can hit fairly hard with physical moves
outside of avoiding r4 siebold, not a big deal
Nettaart said avoid siebold on R4 is what I meant lol, my wording was wrong
i'd recommend Acerola round 4 if anything, if you choose to use Nemona
she has no physical moves to speak of
Ah, my bad then
Hop is doing basically nothing on that team, you’d be better off tanking with Ingo and running an offensive enhancer and/or a secondary Rock damage-dealer
Diantha/olivia?
SS Diantha would work far better
Also turn off “Can’t Change WTZ”
Bc for Diantha I have one param to go
Because that parameter nerfs NC Silver into the ground
So Ingo + Diantha + Silver?
Should work beautifully for off-typing, just get rid of the parameter I mentioned
Is it okay?
you could probably afford to replace half health with strength up and take something like tech damage x3, you'd need to reset for a lack of AOEs but she only has one she can use, and it'll improve Ingo's survivability a bit
Done, thanks for helping!
Yippee I did it! I hate my time blindness lmao
Illness has been thrashing me for a while so haven't had a chance to do special CS, any good leads besides Redchu anA Ash?
I can also offtype with stuff like NC Silver, Rei, ect.
These look good?
Impressive spread o.o
Are the teams good?
What teams go to which round?
Yeah.
Sonia is the best counter to Siebold, and replace SS Elesa with Volkner for terrain
Also, Hau isn't cutting it, any other ideas?
Should I try something like Iridia/NC Red?
Why not
The Elesa team is questionable
Just make changes like i suggested and it should be good
Yes
But that team doesnt have much sustainability, so don't try to pick many offensive params
On R1 you should stack buffs so you can begin attacking after Aaron uses Heal Order
I just powered through on that one with the accelerated sync move thing.
With Iridia and NC Red.
Which next?
Just avoid Siebold on R4
Slam him with Redchu?
If you want to, absolutely
Preferably replace Iono with a physical oriented support
If the support can help buffing speed it would be great
Since Volkner is moving to N team you should use another terrain setter, like egg Jolteon
Uhh how come Reds Dynamax attack isn’t setting terrain on siebold
How vital is Terrain over paralysis?
Did you enable the anti WTZ parameter?
Depends if the enemy has something that need status (I.e., Healthy Advantage)
Nope, the zone is still able to be active hmm
I think Phoebe has ir?
Did you grid it?
I assume this is SSTRed
Phoebe and Siebold
Doesn't have to be paralysis but if you're running an electric team then chances are they'll get paralyzed
Also A A Ron.
Aaron doesn't have Healthy Advantage
I'm pretty sure he did...
Ah hmm
He does not 
Perhaps you're mistaking it for a different passive
Could it be you're using a physical damage dealer into him?
his Gmax attack does not setup terrain, it paralyzes every opponent
unless you grid him with Max Conductivity
I think I did that at one point but switched rules to make it work.
Alright, powered through. Thanks for the help and advice.
Seriously, skin infections suck.

what move level is your N
I got pretty close with the frog
a special Electric would work better in N's place
thus free up SS Acerola's slot
and you can pick physical DR 8
Yep
That worked
Damn Hau crushed it with N lol
Now I just need a pair for the last fight lol
I have Zapdos cakes still
So I just need to see who else can do well lol
Blue can carry the weakest Electric types
Yep
Somehow
Iono
Does like 50% of Cherens health
Clutch clear 20 mins before reset lol
Nice work
Iono's stacking SMUN is crazy
Absolutely
Based on how often NC Rosa is featured
I feel like I made an error going for Haxorous
But then again, Haxorous has come in handy for dragon weak stadium
How do you use normal N? I find him very underwhelming.
Absent a compelling reason
I don’t lol
Cause SST Pika with Hau and Zapdos
Slaughter all electric weak
I mean N used to be good
Piercing Gaze is still busted
But he’s soo slow
And power creep ruined him
Only got 12k points before the champion before reset. Did the pasio csmm at 1 am and I started the acerola fight at 1:58 am
What rewards did I miss not battling cheren?
300 gems
I also missed doing missions
I don't think the stadium had missions?
I mean the reset missions
Just salt which i posted in #salt-channel
I reseted too much on phoebe
Basic elesa volkner hilbert couldn’t do it
I had to use nc bede instead of hilbert and elesa and nc bede died but volkner still won
Hilbert is too frail
True
Exing him helps a lot
you should use Shauna, Sycamore and a defense debuffer
Kiawe can work as both debuffer and crit buffer so you don't have to wait for the second sync to max crit on Sycamore
Against Blue?
Not Lorelei
what move level are your Sidney?
4/5
then it should be good to go
Good luck
Leon Charizard won't do much damage!
Ended up offtyping vs Blue!
You cooked
@wide meteor What pairs have you already used and what else do you have? Using a 1/5 Brendan isnt of much use.
Does lance have something that prevents paralysis?
He only has OaR 5 so you likely have the status condition param or are missing
No status condition was off i could even para the golem
Who are you using to inflict Paralysis?
Steel weak, aand can inflict paralysis?
Poppy or Variety Thorton for Steel-type.
colress is a good one
Trying to figure out a good flying team how’s sc shanaha, nc cheren, and Leon?
Ok who should the 3rd be?
it will depend on the battle, but in general i'll just have a speed buffer
Could bring lucian for spdef drops
That’s part of why Leon was there (buffs speed with max move)
Lucian’s always a good option hm
you can always change the support slot to allow the use of Leon
like a speed and offensive buffer, such as Sabrina
because Leon takes rng to buff himself
Ah you’re right, and shauna can buff through the debuff gimmick but that’s rng too so might as well go for someone else
Anyone I should do or avoid on certain rounds?
Pretty much that, yeah
Only real consideration for round parameters this week is considering how the parameters interact with the teams you chose
That way you can pick whatever round benefits the team you have the most
For example, if one of your teams has Akari you may want to consider running that team on the perma field effects round
Done time for next week’s team- oh
Updated
200 weeks of CSMM. o/
damn this week is 200??
Happy 200th week of CSMM
yep
Happy nuking everything haha
Um... Yikes
That puts into perspective how much I have played this game
3 or 4 of your birthdays have passed until this moment
full 15k feels great
i completed my medal too, but it may be centuries before i can 15k csmm 🥴
offtyped lorelei bc my mom decided to call me while i was fighting her instead of all the times i tried to call her before that and it made me lose focus and lose the battle, and i got so pissed off i changed my entire team ☠️
Ewwww
Fix your flying team so you can join the Monotype gang!
I would if I could
Swanna is a solid defensive support, and swellow is a solid offensive support
And Unfezant is a really good damage dealer, thankfully.
highly doubt that will go to 3k but thanks still
bruno sync was doing 1k to everyone before I got dawn in
Did it pre-sync against first fight (higher flinch chance) and second fight (higher physical damage)
Oh happy week 200 time to go all out a bit more
Especially after what Lorelei put me through for the CS event lol
it's kanto, can sync with your strike and still easily 3k
but yeah I used that mono flying team for the f2p clear too
That would easily do 3k lol
if you have the support at ex which I don’t
They did it without sup ex as well
Lodge Skyla is really good. Doubt she requires supp EX for 3k.

Sim fill out your roster in there ^ it will make it easier to see what we are working with
as for a reasonable point threshold I believe the good rewards cap out at 4000 and anything past that is a flex really
yeah important rewards stop at 4200 pts
That sounds really easy to do
and 850 pts per stage is not really different from hard mode, it's even easier because you don't have to worry about type medal
Did you 3/5 both cheren and bianca sim?
Lugia is my favorite pokemon lol
the extra energy ethan specifically doesn't beenfit from but yeah this will be free for you lel
I actually have like all of his cards displayed, several pieces of merch
Just a personality thing
I see, I like ethan and lugia a lor so I get that lel, I totally get maxxing favsd
@nimble willow this can help you getting warm up to CSMM
G up!
this too!
I have a strong suspicious you can handle 3k points (considering your roster) but we can aim for maybe 10K
and if that is too easy and or difficult then 7.5k
Could always start with the basic 1.5k params and if it doesn't work take them off
I got 2500
did you use cheren and ehtan together?
Yeah
That is a bit overkill unless neither are gridded
Or start with the 2.5k params 
They’re gridded
Ah well, what you gonna do run Cheren on a non-flying stage
Lolol
Ethan can handle Bruno on his own with a unit like Lucian (girafarig) and a support like sabrina
for electric you could probably use cheren skyla and I suppose lenora works to debuff spdef
going to point to this in case you did not see it
Electric and bug are the tricky ones, Cyrus and Giovanni will blast through Lance and Agatha
Ye
I can throw my stuff up there later, got work in the am
I got to 4.2 in 2 stages
Gonna try to get to 9k for the extra ex mats
alr
of couse in case you were not aware there are parameter suggestions in the pins if you wish to push your point total
