Champion Stadium

[lean lion]

This is your last battle before the champion (Wallace) right?

[blazing perch]

Yeap

This my support roster

[lean lion]

Try Sonia

Just noticed Argenta. Go with her instead.

[blazing perch]

Ok so I don’t think the pre sync works cause n takes 2 turns to attack

But still does like 8k when attacks

Is this good? Maybe for hail to get rid of sandstorm

[lean lion]

Yeah, try this. Level Candice to 120, use Hail as your first move.

I'm honestly not too sure on whether N can clear this. If it doesn't work, you can look into off typing or stalling.

[old orchid]

The team has enougu bulk to take one sync, and you can use Argenta's Max Guard to nullify dmg once

Do you have Hala as backup plan?

[lean lion]

2/5

[blazing perch]

Yeap 2/5

[lean lion]

Would Hala work for 2.5k?

[old orchid]

Should be. Haymaker is unlocked at 2/5

[blazing perch]

So I try with this team on pre sync preset then if I lose try hala?

Should I grid candice?

[lean lion]

No, all she needs is level 120

[blazing perch]

Ok

[lean lion]

And yes

[blazing perch]

Yeap didn’t work so about hala what’s the strat?

[old orchid]

Replace Argenta with a gauge and defensive support

[blazing perch]

I feel like n can’t do it he attacks so slow

[old orchid]

Yes because his attack takes 2 turns

You can win with him by using post sync with adjustment to the support

[blazing perch]

Should I try poison stall with morty janine Lucy?

Then on reset I try with better supports cause I used them already

[lean lion]

Try what Gakon suggested first.

Use the on-type post sync params. Replace tech x 3 dmg for Interference Immunity and Physical Dmg Reduction for Special Damage Reduction.

And instead of Argenta bring either Sonia, Hop, BP Morty or Skyla (someone who can buff team defense and has potions).

[blazing perch]

I tried it but died again I poison stall it now on to wallace

Should I replace dawn? Or someone?

[old orchid]

should not matter because of SS Lyra

[blazing perch]

Post or pre?

[old orchid]

you can figure it out by yourself

[blazing perch]

Ok thanks for the tips and help guys

[fading cradle]

i really should have been around during 4th anni huh

[lean lion]

Is Leaf gridded for Adr?

[old orchid]

you can replace Candice with Winona

[fading cradle]

she is

[lean lion]

You should reach 2nd sync before enemy in that case

[fading cradle]

idek anymore, i dont even wanna try anymore atp, idk if im using the wrong moves or what, i cant reach the second sync in time

[lean lion]

Do this. Rain + Winona passive will help with gauge. And as long as you're consistently queuing 3 moves, you will get to a 2nd sync.

[fading cradle]

is there any grid i should be following for winona?

[old orchid]

Air Slash MGR + Aggravation should be enough

[fading cradle]

dude i cant fucking time anything right, i didn’t even make it to the second sync

[lean lion]

Can you show Leaf's grid?

[swift swan]

adrenaline is crucial if you can't quadqueue

[lean lion]

Also, you can save one of Leaf's TMs for after her sync if guage is too slow

[lean lion]

Do you need the potion MPRs?

If not you can replace them and Ramped Up for Tackle MGR and Staggering

[old orchid]

how is your Hala's grid?

also, i think that you haven't posted your params here, they might be the problem too

[fading cradle]

i kind of do rely on the potions especially if everyone decides to earthquake spam

[lean lion]

Swap Hala's grid to this

[old orchid]

melissa's is 3/5 so she can take sync tiles

[lean lion]

I remembered 2/5 from roster ss my bad

[old orchid]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/16100/74000?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=17010201&g=AAECAwQFDA8RFBUYGygrLS4 i would use this. can save his TM for his sync

for SEUN

[keen jasper]

I'd use Hala as a DPS while Candice nukes

[fading cradle]

i sync with leaf first so i can only hope i make it to the 2nd sync

[old orchid]

syncing with Leaf first is the good choice

[lean lion]

What's your move order to start?

[fading cradle]

and idk what moves to queue either since i use everyone’s tms right off the bat (except the weather changer)

rain dance -> leaf tm -> hala tm

[old orchid]

for Hala it's Dire Hit once, then start attacking while Leaf uses her TM

[keen jasper]

Why Winona? Maybe the weather and flinch, but Candice might do more

[old orchid]

grid Berserk Bunch 1 to cover for atk buffs on Hala until he uses his TM before his sync

[keen jasper]

Especially because Hala has multipliers under hail

[old orchid]

that could work, but the strat requires investments on Candice

4* and full grid at leasy

least

if melissa can afford it, it's not a bad option

[fading cradle]

i dont even remember what grid i have on candice

and what grid can i run on leaf for berserk bunch?

[lean lion]

Wouldn't it be easier to pick 2 Sync nodes instead of Super Prep and work around SEUN? Leaf can pick MGR instead of Berserk Bunch. 3/5 Hala DPS + nuke should be enough even without the SEUN.

[old orchid]

i haven't thought about that

[lean lion]

They can manage guage with the correct move order

I don't think the damage is lacking. Just that queuing consistently is a problem.

Something like:

Rain - Leaf Tm - Hala TM

Air Slash - Tackle - Dire Hit+

Winona TM - Tackle - Ice Hammer

Having Leaf's and Winona's TMs for later will let Hala use gauge for 2nd sync cycle.

[fading cradle]

there’s also the sides and their damn earthquake spam

sigh, i wasnt lying when i said 15king this stupid stadium is gonna be impossible since this week tackles all of my weaker rosters

[swift swan]

ice hammer can't twoshot sides?

[fading cradle]

im focusing more on trying to ko drake

[swift swan]

Hala's nuke isn't enough to KO Drake post support EX?

see if his nuke + 1 ice hammer is enough to KO

so that hala can spend his turns ice hammering sides (if gauge allows, that is)

[fading cradle]

that’s the fun part, i dont even make it to the 2nd sync before drake sync kills everyone

[swift swan]

uhh

is it because you can't triplequeue consistently

with Leaf's adrenaline you should make it to 2nd sync just fine, given that your triplequeue is consistent

[fading cradle]

yeah sometimes i have problems triple queuing, especially when i’m trying to ice hammer spam on hala

[lean lion]

Are you running Winona or Candice?

[swift swan]

they both have similar speeds Winona can help with flinch, while Candice can help with DPS (her DPS is shit but at least it's there)

[fading cradle]

winona

oh yeah sometimes this stupid queue on the right happens 🗿 im done with this damn fight i hate this

[toxic cobalt]

That's an odd queue order. You should have air slash last

[fading cradle]

tried to follow something like this

[lean lion]

Just move Winona to 3rd

Same moves queued but Winona goes 3rd

[fading cradle]

well this was the closest i got stupid old man still managed to sync

[lean lion]

Something like this. I hesitated a little and ended up having to queue Dire Hit+, but if you Potion on Leaf and are quick to queue Winona's move, you could squeeze in another Ice Hammer there.

[fading cradle]

alright thanks, ig i’ll try this later in the morning, i dont wanna stay up doing this though i feel like it also depends on whether the sides queue in earthquake bc it feels like a guaranteed ko

[lean lion]

3k MM is kinda RNG reliant, no arguments there. Especially the tougher regions.

[fading cradle]

yeah true, idk why i have my expectations set up so high knowing 3/5 of the battles this week are weak to my weaker rosters. sighhhhh smh

[lean lion]

Its alright. Try again after a break. If it gets too much, no harm in lowering the pts a little. Your sanity is worth it.

[sick inlet]

What's the parameters here?

[swift swan]

this, probably

[sick inlet]

Hmmm

If there is struggle with quadqueing
Should use rain in the second turn cycle instead of first

[lean lion]

Leaf is gridded for Adr. They're having issues triple queing consistently and not making it to 2nd sync.

[worn tusk]

Is drake r4 hard

Ive been having trouble off type and on typing with ghetsis

[nocturne pawn]

he has wise entry x2

do you have hala

[worn tusk]

yeah

[nocturne pawn]

what move level

[worn tusk]

I think 4

[nocturne pawn]

can you ex him

[worn tusk]

I was gonna ex like 3 other people first

[rapid osprey]

ok. i need ex for arc cyn sooner rather than later. so.

trying to figure out where that poison unit fits tho... eugh

not drake bc i want to set hail

maybe on glacia?

maybe oak/nido tanks glacia?

[nocturne pawn]

glacia also wants a weather change

[wheat dragon]

huh...interesting

thought this would be an easy 15k week for once but im having a liiiiitle difficulty

pretty sure I have the power, even if my units are a bit old

[lean lion]

which fight are you struggling with?

[wheat dragon]

Current obstacles: Fairy weak Sidney and Ice weak Drake

[lean lion]

maybe you need to tweak you parameters

[wheat dragon]

probably

For Sidney they take out my fairy tanks before dianth cn clear

[lean lion]

What's the team and params?

[wheat dragon]

team: Gardiantha, Lodge Lillie, Sycamore

Clef Lillie also occasionlly replacess the non diantha units above

[old orchid]

i would replace Sycamore

he and Diantha fight for first sync

you don't need to build monotype teams

[lean lion]

yeah, you basically need to reset if Sidney throws Close Combat

[wheat dragon]

yeah CC HURTS

[wheat dragon]

but my theme skills 🥺

but yeah i figured as much

[old orchid]

theme skills don't matter at all

[wheat dragon]

it would have been nice to just slap ss dawn up there for the easy defense

but dark weak x.x

[old orchid]

do you have any Fairy Zone setter?

[wheat dragon]

no

[old orchid]

then bring a spdef debuffer

[wheat dragon]

i brought sc jasmine once

[old orchid]

she doesn't buff defense

[wheat dragon]

correct

the physical side wore her down

but she does get to 3x sp.d

wait, you said sp.d debuffer

okay uhh...lets see

how is lenora?

[old orchid]

do you have Lucian?

he has atk debuffs, as well as speed buffs for the whole team

which is appreciated by Diantha

[wheat dragon]

never used him but he's 2/5, will tht be enough?

[rapid osprey]

its not the end of the world but man i always forget how trash my ice roster is until i have to actually use said ice roster

lucian is so fun

[wheat dragon]

wait he's dark weak

ummm

[lean lion]

yeah you only need him to spam Growl

[rapid osprey]

flint is a terrible unit so that the other 3 members of the sinnoh e4 could have amazing kits

[graceful smelt]

I am following this comment's advice in regard to Drake's battle now since I cannot get this 3K to go through on Drake with my ice units.

[wheat dragon]

ahh thats the other thing

[lean lion]

If you want send your ice units and we can try to come up with something

[wheat dragon]

oh boy i cant wait to bring hail to counter sandstorm

wait why is glacia have a weakness warning

iron head inbound

[rapid osprey]

sides have steel

[keen jasper]

And you need physical units too

[rapid osprey]

candice blech

[wheat dragon]

yeah i noticed XD

my ice striker is summer steven

[keen jasper]

I recommend Candice as the nuker and Hala to DPS the sides

[wheat dragon]

which is a problem because if center flinches, the sides attack

[rapid osprey]

i love u sinnoh i hate you early pmex sinnoh units who got absolutely atrocious kits

[wheat dragon]

with steel

[keen jasper]

Hala can also weaken Drake

[rapid osprey]

woooooof

[swift swan]

get a damn good speed buffer, the gauge suffers

[fading cradle]

flint is an early game victim fr

[keen jasper]

Why not just use Candice's TMs?

[swift swan]

it still won't help if Hala needs to spam ice hammer every other turn

[lean lion]

one of her TMs uses 3 guage if queue at the wrong time

[keen jasper]

Yeah

[fast bough]

I’m struggling pretty hard with finding out how to do Master Mode of the stadium. Is there any way I can do it with this current roster? (if it wasn’t obvious, I’m very new)

[old orchid]

you should show us your pairs' move level next time

[fast bough]

Oh, oops-

[old orchid]

you can start looking at your roster and choose a dmg dealer for each round

stage info can be found in the pins here, you can use it to choose the most suited options

Hoenn CS is one of the hardest region, so i highly recommend studying the opponents carefully

[fast bough]

Ah crap

The main thing that confuses me is the options for how to nerf you for more points. Is there any, like, guidelines for what to pick for certain strategies?

[old orchid]

yes, the pins also have guide for that

starting with 850 pts is a good idea, since you can get all meaningful rewards with 5 850 pts battles

[fast bough]

Alright. How do I access the pins on mobile?

[gleaming jolt]

+pins

[frozen depot]

See below on how to check channel pins!

[fast bough]

Thank you

Did the move levels this time. Can any of these on type anything?

[old orchid]

Glacia: Silver/Blaine duo
Sidney: SS Nemona
Drake: may have to offtype
Phoebe: same to Drake
Wallace: SS Erika

[fast bough]

Can Arc Lance/Arc Cynthia off type either of those 2?

[old orchid]

yes, easily

each of them can carry a team on their own

[fast bough]

Alr. Just one last question; what pre-sets are recommended for each of those fights?

[old orchid]

it depends on your playstyle and the team itself

for example, if you team does not have much bulk, better aim for pre sync (clear the battle before opponent' first sync) set

[fast bough]

OHH, that’s what that means, okay

I guess it’ll mostly depend on how good my supports are (I hope pulling for Rika was a good call, cuz I like her, and I need supports)

[fast bough]

Did you mean 4,250? Cuz I did 850 on every battle and I got 4,250 points total, not 5,850

[old orchid]

Sorry, i should have said more clearly. I meant 5 battles with 850 pts

[fast bough]

That’s what I did, yeah

OH, wait

I read the message wrong 🤣

My bad

Thought there was supposed to be a comma between the 5 and the 850

[gleaming jolt]

If you didn't find it much challenging, next you can try with slightly more score like 1000 per stage!

[fast bough]

Glacia was decently annoying since she spams AoE moves a lot, and my teams aren’t exactly equipped to deal with so many Blizzards to the face, but the rest of them weren’t too bad since I had broken units for all the rest of them

Plus Lucky Skills have been kicking my ass, cuz I don’t get how Villa works and they keep not being what I need for the units (I’ve been reading the Sync Grid/Lucky Skills/Tier List Google Doc cuz my friend sent me it as a good way of understanding those mechanics)

[gleaming jolt]

Battle Villa is easy!
Give it a read https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1009417207391985754

[half pumice]

Can anyone help with Glacia?
I've only started playing a few weeks ago as a F2P and I'm getting my teeth kicked in by all her blizzards + her huge HP pool and self heals

I can do about 3k damage per attack (with recoil) using Hilda, F2P Oak and Blaine but she just keeps outlasting me since my heals run out by the time her sidekicks die
If I had Red I probably could've done this but I chose Blue instead

Brother, Glacia was half HP and she just does one blizzard after 2nd Sync and one taps me

[old orchid]

Is Hilda gridded at all?

[half pumice]

Yeah she was
Dw tho I finally beat Glacia by using Flame Wheel more often and taking less recoil damage so my heals were saved for the 3v1

[old orchid]

With Standfast 9 gridded the recoil damage should be neglectable

[manic mica]

Would 15K CSMM be possible?

Arcyn is EXR

[lean lion]

Seems like you're lacking good on-type options for the Dark, Ice and Grass stages

[manic mica]

I was able to do 3k Wallace with SS Erika.

For Dark I poisoned stalled

And Ice I just swept with Arc Cyn

[lean lion]

Oh

That's really good

Go with SS Nemona vs Sidney

And Silver vs Glacia

[manic mica]

Glacia is where I had trouble

[lean lion]

Try building a team around Silver + Blaine

Where did you use Arc Steven?

[manic mica]

Poison Stall

[lean lion]

You can definitely put him to better use

[manic mica]

I wasn't surviving at 3k for long enough and Lucy/Janine died followed by the support. Arc Stevens Triage Tank and Potion+ Sync Move Healing helped me outlive

[lean lion]

It may even be possible to off type Glacia with Steven + Anni Lillie. Maybe.

[manic mica]

Maybe I haven't fully gotten the concept of poison stalling.

[manic mica]

+Hop maybe?

[lean lion]

Colress or *someone to change weather would be better

[manic mica]

Hmm alright

And for the poison stall , which should I be going for as support?

[lean lion]

Can you candy BP Morty to 3/5?

[manic mica]

Nope

[old orchid]

A good defensive tank with recovery, like 3/5 Skyla for example

[manic mica]

Only 2/5 and no candy

Plus I've seen her mostly go for shadow ball.

I forgot , is her sync special or phy?

[old orchid]

Phoebe? Physical

[lean lion]

Stage has both Phys and special moves

[manic mica]

Yea ok got it

C Bede?

But he can't heal

[old orchid]

Here is the requirement when you want to look for a stall tank

[manic mica]

I could try 2/5 skyla

Or wait

Hop?

[old orchid]

Hop is more like an offensive support, you can try him but it might take a lot of attempts because his recovery is not strong as Skyla's

[manic mica]

What if I go for a special tank with great recovery and use round 4 param

[lean lion]

R4 param will wear off around your first sync, but you can give it a go

[manic mica]

Hmm

I'll mess around with everything for a bit

[pine schooner]

Ooo did this with lil steven and hop it was nice

But I’m stuck with not being able to 3k Wallace since I don’t have an invested SS Erika (not ex’d either)

[lean lion]

You can try Erika + Mallow with a physical buffer/guage support

[pine schooner]

I’ll go try aaron out, thanks!

[pine schooner]

Did it guyss 14k!!

I might try 15k next week once I have enough EX units

[fading cradle]

what move lvl is ur ss erika

i might copy that team for wallace LMFAO

[lean lion]

1/5

[lean lion]

Nicely done!

[fading cradle]

1/5?

hmmm

[pine schooner]

1/5!

[pine schooner]

couldn't team her up with mallow and nidorino pre sync so I just did the caveman brain strat

lance melts the side mons pretty quick, and nukes milotic nicely with b move after first sync

[manic mica]

Aaron was pretty easy , now for round 2 , I was wanting to go with Glacia for Infinite Steel Zone but she also has infinite Hail. Would that be a problem

Or should I replace Colress with a Weather Changer.

[lean lion]

Infinite Steel Zone would help out a lot

Go with a weather changer yeah

[manic mica]

Alr ty

Sorry for the ping btw

[lean lion]

It's fine, I don't mind

[left storm]

I fugged up and forgot to grab raging rain 5 to shoot The Strongest Razor Leaf™

Could've hit for 120k instead

[blazing perch]

Guys are there any presets for 3k?

[lean lion]

check pins

[old orchid]

Check the last pins, in particular

[lean lion]

This one #1009554906568462476 message

[blazing perch]

Ok thanks

[gleaming jolt]

Overkill?

[turbid geyser]

….ok what in the world man this stage is offtype AND has sentry entry 2

[keen jasper]

Surprised you managed to off-type Drake without weather setters

[gleaming jolt]

Rei's sure flinch with B move helped!
Also NC Rosa's confusion in that Round params hit on opponents more frequently!

That was the easiest run in all 5 thanks to 3rd round params!
It is the only one which is pre sync!

Others are post sync

[grand trout]

Does rock drake require weather manipulation like dragon and ice?

[gleaming jolt]

Drake sets sandstorm on entry and sync

[grand trout]

Im asking about rock drake

Which is next week

[gleaming jolt]

Oh mb

[lean lion]

Nope

[manic mica]

Why is my Steven boosting only 2 stages of crit instead of 3?

Nvm

I'm dumb

[keen jasper]

No, but he has Slomo 9

[manic mica]

Took longer than needed but 3k Glacia off type Glacia done

[manic mica]

Can't seem to do poison stall unfortunately

I think it's more of a param problem tbh

[blazing perch]

Guys is there any chance I do 3k with this roster?

On glacia

I only need drake and glacia btw the other ones I can do 3k

Those are my supports

Actually my whole roster

[rain turret]

why there are very few pairs actually Exd?

[gleaming jolt]

Cuz they are a new player!

[old orchid]

That should clear Glacia easily, just use max move on entry

[lean lion]

Try adding strike x3 dmg, strength 1, grad healing and half ally hp at start on top of the 2.5k preset

[manic mica]

Ty but I'm running into another issue , if I run vigilance on skyla , Phoebe gets lots of sp def drops and kills me , but if I run stalwart , Phoebe just Crits inevitably and kills me aswell.

sorry for the continuous ping

[swift swan]

what round is this?

R3 will double the chance of their sp def drops

well 40% still isn't much tbf

[lean lion]

I believe it is R3

[lean lion]

Consider moving this fight to R4 (if R3). Go with Vigilance. Also, Skyla may not be the best option here.

[manic mica]

I'm thinking about using Oak as a support and use Sycamore for R5

[lean lion]

What team are you running rn?

And is this R3 or 4?

[manic mica]

R3

Oak , Lucy , Janine

Haven't tried it tho

His Potent Toxin, Mini potion MPR and protect help his survivability and damage alot

And his poison sting also heals him if the opponent is poisoned

[swift swan]

poison stall? sure then

[manic mica]

After a lot of tries , finally got it.

Rest hopefully should b a breeze

[lean lion]

Nice!

[manic mica]

1.5 hours to get the perfect RNG. I am burnt out but I can't believe I was able to do this. Second attempt 15k CSMM , (my love for oak and Nidorino has increased substantially)

Thanks everyone Trout , Gakon , Nov for all the help aswell.

[nocturne pawn]

the fact you beat lucy before 15k hoenn is kinda funny

[fading cradle]

i need to know the params for that poison stall team

[manic mica]

Arc Cyn diff

[nocturne pawn]

big if true

[fading cradle]

maybe i should move drake to r4, hes still giving me a headache 🫠

[manic mica]

2.5k param with Strength 1 , Strike dmg x3 , half ally HP , and grad healing

Why did Hard Sinnoh feel harder than this tho

[fading cradle]

nice thanks, i’ll probably resort to this if i get a headache with one of them 👹

does the support have to be oak though

[manic mica]

I used him since he was my best sp def tank

With recovery

[manic mica]

And it also shows how hilariously easy Lucy is

[fading cradle]

ohhh i might have to consider then. last time i poison stalled, i used bp morty as my support

[manic mica]

I was recommended that , but he wasn't 3/5 for me

[fading cradle]

i have him 3/5 non ex, so i’ll probably use him

[manic mica]

He has infinite passive recovery in his grid which also helped

[fading cradle]

i might copy some of your drake team too ngl, but i dont have arc suit cynthia 🤡 not sure who to bring in to change weather

[manic mica]

Don't copy my team if you had arc cyn

I used melony and Morgan to just stall turns

With Max Resonance and Protect

[nocturne pawn]

do you have 3/5 hala

[fading cradle]

ah i see

[fading cradle]

yeah, but i can’t consistently triple queue with him so im just considering off typing or poison stalling as a last resort

[nocturne pawn]

can you ex him

cuz haymaker + super prep should be able to wipe sides and chunk him hard

[fading cradle]

don’t have enough spirits

[nocturne pawn]

that used to be my go to for ice

[nocturne pawn]

rip

wise entry x2 stage so ghetsis isnt too good here

[fading cradle]

yeah sadly i’ll probably have him ex’ed by the time ice weak drake returns but i have a few other candidates i wanted to ex so 🫠🫠🫠

[lean lion]

15k on your 2nd CS you say!? That's incredible

Congrats and very well done!

Also nice thinking by bringing Oak

[manic mica]

Thank you ! I'd like to think the cs was easy rather than I did good

[manic mica]

After reading over his kit , I was like , this is the best poison stall tank ever

[lean lion]

Idk what to tell you. This isn't an easy CS by any measure.

[manic mica]

Is there a cs ranking?

[lean lion]

Sinnoh and Hoenn are considered the 2 most difficult CS regions

[manic mica]

Oh nice

[lean lion]

Did you grid Oak for the clear?

His grid has some nice stuff for Stalling

[manic mica]

Potent Toxin , Mini potion MPR , TM MPR , Hit Poisoned Opponent and Heal , Special Damage Reduction Field Duration Increase

Those were the ones I got I believe

[lean lion]

Perfect

[manic mica]

I got 6 MPR's on TM

[fading cradle]

do you think you can send ur grid?

[manic mica]

Sure , one second

I realized I didn't get persisting barrier 3

[fading cradle]

thank you!

[blazing perch]

Can u show me the params for drake cause I use ‘’better team’’ and still lose for 3k

Or maybe u have 3/5 arc cynth and nuke?

[manic mica]

It's 3/5 cyn

[manic mica]

I'm 99% sure this is what I ran

[blazing perch]

My Cynthia is 2/5 can’t clear it fast enough

[blazing perch]

Ok let me try them

[blazing perch]

Do u start with max move from melony?

[manic mica]

Yes

Actually no

I reset until he does X Speed All I believe

And then I use Max Move the next turn

[lean lion]

Note that you'll have an easier time vs Drake if you bring a Defense buffer. All of Drake's moves are physical. Arc Cynthia can brute force the stage regardless, but survival would be way easier with a physical tank.

[blazing perch]

I tried with arc cynth hop and melony still losing

[lean lion]

Is damage or surviving the issue?

[manic mica]

My strat was just buffing it's offenses to the max with no defense and then using Damage Guard Next to live and let Arc Cyn sweep

[blazing perch]

Kind of both

[manic mica]

Also my Cyn is EXR'd

[blazing perch]

Mine too

But still 2/5

[lean lion]

1/5 Cynthia is enough for the stage

[blazing perch]

Then I’m doing something wrong

[lean lion]

try with the params Astro sent, but replace Atk 3 with Power on Hit 1

and reset the run if they spam Earthquake too many times in a row

[old orchid]

Power on hit 1 and 2 are usually free params in pre sync and quick post sync context

[blazing perch]

Ok I will try it

Does anyone have a replay to show me the start I die after couple turns by flygon

Strat*

[lean lion]

Which round is this?

[blazing perch]

When flygon is like 30-40% hp

Alone

He already sync once

[lean lion]

No, I mean what round are you fighting Drake on?

[blazing perch]

3rd

[lean lion]

Okay that could be the problem

are you getting flinched a lot?

[blazing perch]

Only like 1 time

I feel like Cynthia doesn’t do enough dmg to clear fast

[lean lion]

I'll try it out give me a few mins

[blazing perch]

Sure thanks

You can suggest me other supports too if melony is the problem etc

[lean lion]

Can you send a screenshot of your available supports and techs?

[old orchid]

You have enough pairs to comfortably ontype Drake

SS N + Candice + a support, Candice wants to be gridded with Inertia at least

[blazing perch]

I have hala too

I didn’t send the strikers

[pearl canyon]

12550 on my first master mode, im pretty happy given the scuffed-ness of my teams

[lean lion]

What move level is Hala?

[blazing perch]

Gj brother but I think you have broken pairs u can go 15k imo

[blazing perch]

2/5

[pearl canyon]

only one there that isnt 1/5 is ss steven is the thing

oh and hilda

[old orchid]

2/5 Hala, should be good enough if you don't wanna grid Candice

As you can nuke with him instead

[blazing perch]

What’s the strat?

[old orchid]

Grid Haymaker, sync with support first then quad queue to ensure you sync twice before enemies' first sync

[blazing perch]

I need 3k param cause I’m sure I will get wrong params after 2.5k

[old orchid]

You need to lock the team first

Which support would you use

[blazing perch]

Is this good?

[lean lion]

Candice instead of Melony to replace Sandstorm

[old orchid]

And a gauge support instead of Hop

[blazing perch]

Let me check

Dunno what’s the filter so I used both acceleration and charge

[lean lion]

Someone who can recharge guage and/or buff team speed

[blazing perch]

Oh what about this then

[lean lion]

Give it a go

[lean lion]

Also take note of this before going in

Ping was a mistake Gakon oops

[blazing perch]

Still need to figure the params for 3k

[lean lion]

You can figure it out. Try using these pointers #1009554906568462476 message to add 500 points to the 2.5k on-type presync (more damage) preset

Send the params you pick here if you want, someone will go over them

[blazing perch]

Don’t think I can do it with the team I picked but anyway

Couldn’t even do 2,5k points pre sync

[lean lion]

Are you planning on poison stalling another stage?

[blazing perch]

Maybe glacia cause mix blue ss Hilda is not working

[lean lion]

SS Hilda can handle Glacia

[blazing perch]

Not mine 😂

[lean lion]

It's a tough fight in general with all the AoE spam, but you can get through

[blazing perch]

She is 1/5 not exed

I clear pretty fast the sides but still die

I manage to do 2,5k

But not 3

[lean lion]

SS Hilda Mix Blue + a Special support can 3k

And given that you have these options available for Glacia. I highly recommend poison stalling Drake and getting it over with.

[blazing perch]

Are you sure if all are 1/5 not ex can 3k?

I almost lose to 2,5k

[lean lion]

You have a really good support on your roster that'll basically guarantee the win

[blazing perch]

Arc stev?

[manic mica]

I was thinking chase

Kanto Analysis will help blue a lot

[lean lion]

Sync accel. And Kanto circle will make Glacia's moves easier to tank

[manic mica]

off topic , I really wish I could spend 5k paid on support banner and pick chase , I love his kit

[blazing perch]

I picked him ss Hilda and sc Irida from those banners

[blazing perch]

I will give it a go

I need post sync or pre sync?

I think I did it pre sync with 2,5k

[lean lion]

This is R3 right? Do Glacia here and move Drake to R4

Presync

[blazing perch]

Ok I will try and tell you what are the problems after 😂

Blue and hilda die from blizzard

[wheat dragon]

bah, still a little stuck on round 3

tried shifting from sidney r3 to drake

Very close but not cigar

Maybe Lana with Wide Gaurd would help?

[lean lion]

Params can be tweaked a little but tbh you are going to have to reset for good move RNG. If they spam Blizzard - Icy Wind, just reset. You want them to use either TMs or single target moves.

This Glacia stage in particular has buffed offenses, so she's meant to hit hard unfortunately

[lean lion]

Use these + standard reduction and strength 6

Also just to make sure, you are using Blue's max move at the start right?

[blazing perch]

I’m using his move at start I will try these thanks

[lean lion]

Use Chase's TMs to make sure you sync twice with Hilda before Glacia

[lean lion]

Hey a mistake on my part. Replace Special Reduction 8 for Max Hp 2. I'm so sorry. Blue's been doing a lot less damage than he should be

[blazing perch]

Haven’t tried it yet so no worries I will put the correct param

[blazing perch]

With those params hilda is getting 1 shot

If they blizzard 1 time

[manic mica]

Like Trout said , try to keep resetting for better RNG to where they use only TM , X items or Single Target moves until they reach sync , by which it should be easy

If not dead

[blazing perch]

I will try couple resets but I think the team is weak even if I get once attacked they die

[lean lion]

Given the setup it may even be possible to replace atk 3 and hp 2 for hp 4 to make Glacia's attacks more tolerable

Hilda and Blue should be able to do enough damage

[blazing perch]

Blue is doing good dmg Hilda is not doing so great

[lean lion]

use V-Create

[blazing perch]

That’s what I’m using but even when I double sync when glacia sync I lose only chase stays alive

[lean lion]

Mid isnt dying even with 2 Hilda syncs?

[royal flicker]

Any suggestion? I like to try off type. What should I add to get 3k?

[blazing perch]

Nope I told u she is 1/5 not ex not cake

[lean lion]

Even then, it should be enough

did you replace the atk param for hp like I said?

[blazing perch]

If I ex her and cake her will it make any difference cause I wanted to ex her cause I don’t have any decent fire for ex except her

[blazing perch]

Yeap

[lean lion]

the other option is to go back to atk, make them less tanky and pray for good move RNG

Hilda is not a bad unit to EX and cake. I wouldnt recommend doing it for one stage. But you can if you want.

[blazing perch]

I have like 4 of her cake

[lean lion]

although im pretty sure we can figure this out without investing more in Hilda

[blazing perch]

Support cake

[lean lion]

How many EXd supports do you have?

[blazing perch]

Not many

Let me check

Only 3

Skyla ss brendan and arc steven

[lean lion]

Phoebe has Sentry Entry x 2. So this stage would be nearly impossible to offtype unfortunately.

• with a physical damage dealer

[royal flicker]

I see

even with 2.5k?

[lean lion]

You should get 5-6 supports EXd before going for damage dealers

[lean lion]

I would guess so. Cynthia's damage will be completely neutered thanks to the stage's gimmicks.

[royal flicker]

do you think poison stall will work?

[lean lion]

yeah

[blazing perch]

Could u suggest some?

[royal flicker]

These are my only dark so, i dont have a choice

[lean lion]

This is more suited for https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1217072721268314185. You can send your support roster there and I'll take a look.

[lean lion]

You're better off Poison Stalling, yeah

[rigid flint]

@wild scaffold show your parameters here

[wild scaffold]

Sharing parameters

Like sending4-5 screenshot?

[sharp willow]

yeah

[sharp willow]

i see one issue already, defense parameters are often a bad idea

[wild scaffold]

I have defense 3 UP

[sharp willow]

with your current team, you could remove both of those and take "no weather, terrain or zone"

[wild scaffold]

Good idea

I like using a fixed parameter so I dont need to invest time thinking

But I will do that thx

[sharp willow]

you can also take the 50 point special damage reduction for a free 50 points, as that is bypassed entirely by crits

[nocturne pawn]

i tend to avoid defense like the plague since it gets multiplied by strength

[wild scaffold]

Oh!!

[nocturne pawn]

yea

since defense affects base stats and strength adds levels which adds to base stats

[sharp willow]

defense just weighs into the damage formula to a much greater extent than attack does, so taking a lot of it can kill your damage output pretty heavily

[nocturne pawn]

it gets annoying real fast

isnt it raw divided by defense

for damage calcs

then multiplied by like .85-1.1

for damage rolls

[wild scaffold]

Down to 30% not bad

Restarting

Wow I didn’t knew def parameters was that of a big deal

No wonder I had struggled a little in pass CS

[karmic zephyr]

What's the maximum number of points you guys think I can get with this roster? Cause I don't know which score to aim for

I got 6k on Monday

But I feel like I could've done more

wait I just realised the glitch at the end

[old orchid]

no one knows until you try, let's start with brainstorming teams first

[karmic zephyr]

yeah but the thing is, I don't want to aim for 3k and do nothing

[karmic zephyr]

yeah, or I can show you which teams I already used to get the 6k

[old orchid]

that works, helpers can give you feedback on improvements

[karmic zephyr]

yeah I'd like that

and you see my roster

the last few pairs that don't show up are lillie anniversary 5/5

cynthia exr 1/5

and viktor spectrier 3/5

and I'll show you what I used to clear it

I got exactly 6k and 2.5k alone were from Phoebe

so we already know that team is broken

[old orchid]

Glacia can be improved with an actual tank instead of Acerola

[karmic zephyr]

like who? Why did I do Acerola on that team? I think I had a reason

[old orchid]

same with Sidney

[old orchid]

Glacia spams special moves, who can you think about?

[karmic zephyr]

someone who buffs my special def

let me see who i have. give me a min

Starmie Misty

or Melony Lapras

[old orchid]

good options, i also recommend Event Oak personally

anyway, move to Sidney team, replacing one of the sup with BP Valerie would help a lot

especially if you are able to double candy her

[karmic zephyr]

with Mawile?

[old orchid]

yes

the Sylveon one is not worth using

[karmic zephyr]

okay so I can do Wally, Valerie, Torterra

and in glacia team, replace Acerola

I also recall you saying I should have used SS Erika for another team

[old orchid]

SS Erika is great on Wallace, because she is literally ontype

and there is a perma field effect param this week so her sun permanently stays

[karmic zephyr]

okay so if I use her on Wallace, who do I replace in the Glacia team?

I mean who do I replace her for

[old orchid]

a sun setter, ofc

[karmic zephyr]

hmm do I have another?

let me search

if I use Gordie Coalossal and gigantamax him?

and then I have Blaine Rapidash

[old orchid]

Blaine has on demand sun, that's enough

[karmic zephyr]

okay so resetting

and let's see

if I go for 10k, how many do I need per round?

2.5?

no

2

I know the presets on the pins yeah, I use those

[old orchid]

that depends on the team, try to experiment with params to achieve maximum possible points

[karmic zephyr]

you mean 3k on each? damn

okay

that's ambitious

okay so for sidney I'm going for on type pre sync

I'm scared

I feel like I clicked way too many parameters

[lean lion]

Just give it a try. You'll be fine!

[old orchid]

i didn't tell you to aim for 3k points

[karmic zephyr]

nope, I die instantly

I can't

[old orchid]

what are the params? and is Valerie still 1/5?

[karmic zephyr]

yes still 1/5

the params were the 2.5k preset + some random ones to reach 3k

but it's obvious I can't

I could try the 2k preset

[old orchid]

3k requires good understanding of your pairs and enemies, as well some gameplay mechanics

just try your best for now, don't go for the hardest challenge while being underprepared

[wheat dragon]

bouncing from here and damage challenge

same issue for the last few days, Round 3

Drake and sidney remain

slightly inaccurate sync list

for sidney: been using Diantha as a striker, but not being able to deal enough damage before succumbing

tried using Devestation, tried using Lucian, tried using Lenora, no dice

[swift swan]

3/5 Diantha can't beat Sidney?

what are the parameters you're using?

[wheat dragon]

i tried on type pre sync and post sync templates, with additions into strength/power on hit to hit 3k marks

[swift swan]

hmm, on type presync sounds right

how's her nuke with max devastation

[wheat dragon]

can kill sides but not sol

[grand steppe]

what was the team?

[wheat dragon]

ive tried several

diantha lillie (clef) lillie (comfey), diantha Viola (masq) SC Jasmine, Diantha lillie (clef) Sycamore (xerneas)....

someone reccomended lucian once so i tried that out, didnt snag it either

[grand steppe]

and who was syncing first? was it a suppEX or Diantha?

[wheat dragon]

diantha

i used to do the supports first, but i felt i wasnt getting the damage i needed

especially since diantha has the mega tax

[swift swan]

i would try picking up all the attack and removing some strength

[fading cradle]

drake kept pissing me off r1 so i fought sidney instead 🤡

which 100 point damage reduction should i choose for this team?

[manic mica]

I'd say none and pick something like max HP 2

[lean lion]

Yeah don't need to pick either

[manic mica]

This team already has massive damage output

[fading cradle]

fr? bc glacia obliterated this team bc of her damn aoe moves, idk if it’s a param issue

[lean lion]

Just reset if she spams AOE too much

[manic mica]

Reset for RNG ,

[lean lion]

And try not giving them any Atk params

3/5 Hilda will obliterate the stage no problem. Just need good move RNG.

[manic mica]

Order should be something like:
X Speed All
Psychic
Draining Kiss
Icy Wind
Draining Kiss
Hail
Sync Move

[fading cradle]

here’s my params

[grand steppe]

You could opt to use Ash, or forgo setting up Devastation and just go for sync accel. ssElesa and your anni Raihan can propel her forward enough times with mpr rng.

[manic mica]

Looks fine , if you still have trouble I'd say replacing Atk 3 with Max HP 2

[lean lion]

Power on hit 1 instead of Atk3

[wheat dragon]

doesnt sidney obliterate rotom due to dark weaknesss

[lean lion]

The Power on hit params are pretty much free points. Giving Glacia atk is way worse (she has buffed offenses to begin with)

[grand steppe]

Don't tank with ssElesa.

I'm using a 2/5 diantha, I got pretty close by utilizing flinch.

also the only dark move i think is brutal swing

[fading cradle]

oh it really was the rng luck haha, they somehow survived 2 icy winds. thanks for the help 🫡

[lean lion]

Nice!

[manic mica]

Congrats

[fading cradle]

could this team 3k ☠️ idk if they’re be gauge issues or anything

hell i forgot if phoebe utilizes special or physical attacks

[wheat dragon]

so my tink is....raihan?

[lean lion]

Phoebe has both special and phys moves, but mostly special. Team looks good. Sync with Karen first for the mega.

Make sure to grid Karen for Dark Pulse aggravation. It'll help a lot to deal with sides once mid goes down.

[fading cradle]

when should i use melony’s max move and which max move should i use?

[lean lion]

I'd say use it to tank moves you're having a tough time living. You don't have to use it, but if you need to, you can. Note that you'll have to quad queue off Max Move to not mess with sync countdown.

Max guard

[swift swan]

Lucian will mitigate any gauge issues you might have

make sure Karen is gridded for nuke and she's at max gauges when she syncs. debuff sp atk as much as possible for her sync

[swift swan]

tbf melony also has sing so

[fading cradle]

just her nuke grid, right? she has a few other grid examples

[wheat dragon]

3 diantha syncs

[grand steppe]

https://youtu.be/vLNWKzwVIMI&t=7

[lean lion]

Something like this (changed it a little sorry)

[wheat dragon]

damn it really is that easy huh

[lean lion]

Tbf Aurochs makes it look easy

[fading cradle]

their f2p runs always look easy

[fading cradle]

and thanks for this!

[lean lion]

Melissa I think running 2 poison stall teams is also an option for you if needed

[fading cradle]

i WAS thinking of running a poison stall team with janine, bp morty, and lucy for drake since im sick of him, but how would i make two poison stall teams then

[lean lion]

Try this first. Just letting you know it is an option.

[fading cradle]

could u also look at my params? (i noticed i had no stat reduction on while recording so i turned it off)

[lean lion]

You'll need both flinch and sing so can't pick Interference Immunity and no status. Replace them with atk3.

For the last 50pts I think you'll have to go with strike or tech x3 dmg. Phoebe has no AOE moves till mid goes down, at which point you can stun lock the sides so it should be a problem.

[fading cradle]

dude i can’t reach the second sync in time

i cant quadqueue to save my life

[gleaming jolt]

Do you have someone to offtype?

Like two DDs and a support?

[fading cradle]

i do have a lot of strong off typers left but i wanna try to use this team a few more times before i resort to off typing

[lean lion]

You can use flinch to make it to 2nd sync

[fading cradle]

does this mean i have to focus on the sides too

[lean lion]

You just need to flinch/sleep them once after first sync to make it. Just make sure to queue the move last.

[gleaming jolt]

Lot of HP is remaining and Karen can't AoE sync!
But trying is fine!

[fading cradle]

so queue the flinch/sleep move last?

[lean lion]

Not necessarily, but you can for eg. put left to sleep after your first sync which will allow you to make it to 2nd sync

[lean lion]

Yes

[swift swan]

yes, you make the most of your denials this way

[fading cradle]

okay now all of a sudden my sings are failing

this is starting to get annoying now, ive restarted this fight like 3 times already

[gleaming jolt]

That's rng!
It happens a lot to me

[lean lion]

Resetting is part of 3k mm unfortunately

[fading cradle]

curse the rng ffs, that’s the reason why glacia obliterated my otherwise overkill fire team the first time

[lean lion]

You don't need to, but you can give Melony Troublemaker if you wanna guarantee that sing lands

[fading cradle]

DUDE. I CANT QUADQUEUE

how am i so bad at quadqueing

[lean lion]

Are you trying to time it or button mashing?

[fading cradle]

button mashing ☠️

[fading cradle]

where can i get troublemaker?

[lean lion]

3* crunchy cookie

If you're button mashing it's better to do it at 1x or 2x speed iirc (maybe someone can correct me)

It's better to time it at max battle speed

[fading cradle]

at the fastest speed? i usually failed at triple queuing at the fastest speed

also what grid should i put on melony? i just realized

[lean lion]

Yes cause it's better to time it at fastest speed

If you're mashing do it on slower speed

[fading cradle]

i’ll probably do it at the slower speed then

well, slowest speed

[lean lion]

Go with this

@fading cradle A few changes, my bad

[fading cradle]

well fun fact even at the slowest speed, i still failed to triple queue, hella pathetic

quadqueue*

[lean lion]

What round is this?

[fading cradle]

3

i swear the god

the ONE time i was able to quadqueue, i accidentally used dark pulse on one of the sides

now im starting to wonder if syncing with melony first for sync buff would be any different

[old orchid]

wow Phoebe has thick HP

you can try using Darach or a zone setter to override her Ghost Zone, and aim for post sync

[fading cradle]

who should i replace with darach then, lucian? im not sure if darach debuffs anything but attack and that wasn’t quite what i was going for

[old orchid]

Phoebe's sync is physical so it helps, and she occasionally uses physical attacks

Defog also allows you to get free 150 pts from crit shield

[fading cradle]

she has a physical sync? huh, i was focusing more on the special side since most of her regular attacks are special

[lean lion]

Would Melony's max move help survive sync at all Gakon?

[fading cradle]

atp i might just off type, this is too annoying

unsurprisingly the two elite four members giving me a headache are weak to my weaker rosters, why am i not surprised

[lean lion]

Which fights do you have remaining and what's your plan for them?

We could look into making 2 stall teams

[fading cradle]

i do want to poison stall drake bc fuck him but dont i have to replace weather for him

and i have tons of powerful damage dealers left in case i need to off type

[lean lion]

Wouldn't matter if you stall

[old orchid]

yes if you lean towards post sync params, her GMax move may only help tanking sync + an aoe move at best with pre sync params methinks

it's been a long while since my last time using her in CSMM

[fading cradle]

i only have phoebe and drake left btw

[lean lion]

Same but I think I've tanked sync + move with Melony

For Phoebe you can use Astro's team

For Drake you can try poison setter + atk debuffer + potion tank

[fading cradle]

what was astro’s team again?

[lean lion]

Oak Lucy Janine

Phoebe R3

[fading cradle]

should you always sync with oak?

[manic mica]

It doesn't matter

Although for Safety , I had endure on sync on Janine and synced with her once just in case but it never got to that point

Although you need MPR on TM at the start. For +6 sp def.

[fading cradle]

ah alright, i was never able to get his tm refreshed so erm

do you have vigilance on oak?

[manic mica]

Yes

[fading cradle]

…

i hate this so damn much

i turned off the half ally hp param since it’s proving me bullshit, what can i turn on instead

[manic mica]

Are you using my grid?

[fading cradle]

i switched to bp morty

[manic mica]

Cuz the passive healing should b way more than enough

Yeah cuz Oak gives Passive healing

Idk much about Morty tbh

[lean lion]

Might need him for Drake. But if Leaf is available it's okay.

[fading cradle]

leaf? i’ll try her then

but which param should i turn on in the place of half ally hp

[lean lion]

No, I mean using Morty for Phoebe is fine if you have Leaf for Drake

With Morty half hp shouldn't be a problem. He's gridded?

[fading cradle]

oh yeah leaf if available, i’ll use her for drake then

[fading cradle]

with this

[lean lion]

You need potion MPR

[fading cradle]

thanks

ig i’ll leave half ally hp on, idk when the right time to use potions is though

[lean lion]

Use Morty's TMs then use Potion on him if First Aid 4 doesn't proc by then

[fading cradle]

i cannot be making this shit up oh my god i actually might throw a desk off a skyscraper at this point

[undone ether]

Offtype gaming?

[fading cradle]

if poison stall clearly isn’t working

[lean lion]

Did you get potion MPRs?

[fading cradle]

i copied this exact grid

[lean lion]

No I mean in the run

[fading cradle]

like once

[lean lion]

Did you get any mprs?

You'll need to fish for potion MPR

Retry a few times, any strat you go with will involve RNG so resetting is inevitable

[fading cradle]

sigh, atp i’m starting to think even off typing will save my sanity more by like 1%

[lean lion]

Yup

[manic mica]

Fyi , it took me almost 6 hrs for all 5 battles..

[swift swan]

Typical Hoenn experience

[fading cradle]

fuck hoenn, gives me another reason to shit on hoenn when arguing about my rival about whether unova or hoenn is better

[left storm]

No Karen 3/5?

[left storm]

Also NGL 78% looks too far off from a win anyway even with better potion mpr

Are you using stall parameters?

[fading cradle]

i do have her but im having a problem with quadqueing and not doing too much damage

[fading cradle]

yeah along with some extra params to equal 3k

[left storm]

If she's exless I can definitely imagine the problems

[fading cradle]

she is and i have so many other pairs i want to ex

[blazing perch]

Can’t beat drake I’m so mad

[left storm]

Drake is indeed one of the toughest

Imo

[blazing perch]

I tried everything

I guess I will settle down to 14k I can’t 3k him

Maybe I can offtype with arc Steven and ani lilie but I have to reset

[left storm]

I mean why

What's the problem with those two

[blazing perch]

I already used them that’s what I mean

I tried with arc Cynthia to offtype but can’t

I tried with nc cheren too

[left storm]

Cheren shouldn't struggle too much as long as you remove sand

[blazing perch]

Can u suggest any offtype team?

[left storm]

Again, anyone who removes sand

• any suitable cheren enhancer

[blazing perch]

I will try a couple more teams

[left storm]

Sskris and dahlia are great premium options even at 1/5 to gapfill cheren and remove sand

Another option could be just having an exed BP candice

[fading cradle]

does drake have wise entry 2 or something

[left storm]

Sand superiority

Iirc

So 20/30% higher stats in sand

Iirc

Oh nvm

Just wise entry x2

Then yeah prob better off with a Phys unit

[fading cradle]

yeah pomatools said so

i was about to considering brute forcing drake with on off typer but tons of my off typers are special

only physical off typers i have available rn are nc silver and nc nate

[left storm]

I mean units like NC red, irida or exed BP candice can probably make it with Dana

[fading cradle]

yeah i got none of that lmfao

[left storm]

Also with good enough enhancers, any Phys ice can do it too, like Hala, summer Steven or holeon

I even won with Wulfric once

[fading cradle]

i tried hala but his 4 gauge move is just killing me

slow gauge doesn’t help either

[signal panther]

@manic mica ^

[manic mica]

not bad we can work with that give me one sec

are u trying for the 18 types or no?

@signal panther

[signal panther]

Does it do anything?

[manic mica]

well it unlocks master mode

but its way harder

[signal panther]

If I get gems id gladly take it. Only if it's possible

[fading cradle]

using all 18 types for the type medal unlocks master mode. you should be able to fill it out within 2 weeks

[manic mica]

yeah

[signal panther]

Do you think id be able to do that?

[fading cradle]

you don’t get gems from cs. but it’s a great place for resources nevertheless

[manic mica]

i mean its possible but it will take time

[signal panther]

Then sure. Ill have something to work for

[manic mica]

mhm u get a lot of champion spirit

okay so lets see here

have u beaten a champion stadium b4

[signal panther]

I did beat one of the elite 4

But that's it. The other pokemon just get wrecked

[manic mica]

^^

[signal panther]

How do I check that 💀

[manic mica]

is there a button that says hall of fame

[signal panther]

I guess no never beat a champ before

[fading cradle]

oh so you never fully beat one stadium?

[signal panther]

No im not in Hall of fame

It's locked

[manic mica]

Oh alright

so yeah this may take awhile

[signal panther]

I think I also locked out steven too I that one fight I beat

I hope that didn't mess it up

[fading cradle]

you can’t use a sync pair again in the stadium once you use them

[signal panther]

Yeah I noticed that too late

These three are locked

[manic mica]

oh no

im ngl those were ur best bets

but

we can still make it work dw

[fading cradle]

champion stadium needs you to build 5 teams

[signal panther]

Can I reset that manually or do I have to wait for the next reset

[fading cradle]

next week

[signal panther]

I see

[fading cradle]

i dont think you can reset in hard mode

[manic mica]

no

ok

im gonna do some work and see what we can do for u alright @signal panther

[signal panther]

That's extremely nice thank you!

[manic mica]

yup

@signal panther would it be possible if u can send ss of each type

in order

[signal panther]

Yes any more Filter? Or just type?

[manic mica]

Just type would work

[signal panther]

One second

[manic mica]

Yup

[signal panther]

Do you mean by type like strike tech support etc?

[manic mica]

no, by their element

like grass

water

fire

fairy

[signal panther]

Oh yeah yeah my bad one second

[manic mica]

your fine dw

[signal panther]

Like this?

[manic mica]

yup thats good

[fading cradle]

do you have a filter to only show 5 stars? it’ll be useful if you turn that off too

[manic mica]

yeah

[signal panther]

I think yes

Yeah i did

Lemme redo

[manic mica]

vs Phoebe - Karen Elio Lucian

vs Glacia - AS Cynthia Leaf Acerola

vs Sidney - Emma Maylene Roxanne

vs Drake - Riley AS Steven Candice

vs Wallace - AS Lance Erika (Leafeon) SS Mina

You can fight them in any order. Just don't do Drake R3 and try to do Glacia R2.

I would say that however Steven is already used.

[fading cradle]

wait they already beat one battle if three sync pairs are unusable

who did you beat already?

[manic mica]

Most likely Drake or Glacia.

[signal panther]

Phoebe

[manic mica]

Oh.

[signal panther]

Don't ask me why lmao

[manic mica]

Actually, you dodged a bullet. She is pretty hard it took me awhile.

[fading cradle]

yeah so definitely try glacia r2. you want to bring in a weather setter to replace hail

[manic mica]

Mhm.

[signal panther]

Should I build those teams now for them?

Like put them together?

[fading cradle]

you could try base hilda + blaine + some support for glacia

[manic mica]

Preset them. For when you have enough time and patience you can try them. However like I said it may take time.

Filter to this, remove other filters though.

Whatever pops up let us know.

[signal panther]

This is for sunny

[fading cradle]

blaine or anni raihan could be good, i’d save ss erika for wallace since he also needs you to change weather

[manic mica]

Alright, try Raihan. Start with your team, for the tactics, make your support first, Raihan second and your damage dealer last.

[signal panther]

One second

[manic mica]

Don’t use the Dynamax too early though, that is how you get the sunny effect.

[signal panther]

Who else should I put next to blaine and raihan?

[manic mica]

No, use Raihan first, you need support.

[fading cradle]

yeah replace blaine with raihan

and some support to help buff your damage dealer

[manic mica]

Raihan has his TM, raises SpA by four rank stats.

[signal panther]

It says raihan is tech. Is that correct then? Will I still get dynamax without ex?

[manic mica]

You need defense.

[manic mica]

Mhm.

[fading cradle]

better be careful though bc if you don’t replace glacia’s hail, she’ll be a complete monster with her aoe moves

[signal panther]

Just to understand correctly: I want sunny but I don't want to use Dyna too early even though it gives sunny? That's confuses me a bit

[manic mica]

Mhm.

[manic mica]

Wait until she uses her Hail move.

[signal panther]

So do I use sandstorm or what do I do

[manic mica]

You need to replace it with sunny.

[signal panther]

Ah I see. Will she only do hail once in the battle?

[fading cradle]

i thought glacia summoned hail the moment she enters battle?

she’ll also summon hail when she syncs

[manic mica]

If I’m correct, she uses it when sync.

[manic mica]

Let me check.

[fading cradle]

glacia has a passive that summons hail when she enters battle

[signal panther]

So every time I use flare it will turn to sunny?

[fading cradle]

that’s already dangerous enough and probably screams for weather to be changed asap

[signal panther]

I mean raihan has sandstorm without dynamax
