Champion Stadium

[rapid osprey]

i mean i was mostly thinking use it to para and then archie dies

[left storm]

It's a points waste

[rapid osprey]

fair enough

[left storm]

Also you have arc steven

How would anyone die

[rapid osprey]

sure, but archies defenses are still made of paper

[left storm]

On a team with him

Lol

[rapid osprey]

idk

im mostly just

wishing i had a better rain unit

[left storm]

Still should tank with Hoenn spirit x2 + steel myth + maxed defs

[left storm]

Winona works perfectly well for csmm

Flinch + rain

[rapid osprey]

i mean

sure

but i have 3 special units, and if im using ex kris + exr arc steven

thats a phys build

so im taking -spec params

[left storm]

What does it have to do with winona

She's not there to do damage

[rapid osprey]

air slash seems like gauge waste then

[left storm]

[rapid osprey]

bc iron head flinches

[left storm]

30%

60% of you waste grid for it

[rapid osprey]

and either way kris doesnt need flinch, so why not take the int immunity then

[left storm]

I never said anything about it

It's just that flinch/sleep are easy peasy

[rapid osprey]

if the reason not to take archie for thunder para is not to waste gauge + free points

[left storm]

Especially since Steven ain't clicking iron head every turn

3 gauge for para

Is not the same

As 2 gauge for flinch

[rapid osprey]

except that flinch is volatile

[old orchid]

Winona has better gauge overall fyi

[left storm]

Para does nothing 95% of times
Flinch stuns 60% of times

[rapid osprey]

so you have to keep reupping it as opposed to set it once and be done

[left storm]

you're seeing this backwards

Para has no value

Flinch skips turn

And can be reapplied

Same for sleep

Also as gakon said

Winona has muuuch better gauge

Speed

[rapid osprey]

i mean

[left storm]

And self speed buffs

[rapid osprey]

yes

i have now factored that in

[left storm]

Flinch is actually useful

Para does nothing if you have no multipliers on it

[rapid osprey]

i always forget that 1/2 mp affects bmoves

was forced to learn that emojis take up like 20 extra characters so much less visually appealing but. heres this week

i might join @undone ether in making a spreadsheet for them instead - would you be ok with me taking a look at how you have yours set up?

[undone ether]

Uh hold on

[rapid osprey]

if not np

[undone ether]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/194eDlUHSKRA5vXefrsM4TwVtU_-5i7ENg75s6jvEW_c/edit?usp=drivesdk

Tab 1 for csmm

[rapid osprey]

ok so you have it as just all csmm together rather than a tab for each region

[undone ether]

You can do that

But i have it by week number

[rapid osprey]

ahh ok so in sequence

[undone ether]

I do make a lot of data cells tbh

[rapid osprey]

i might try to automate mine a bit more but

[clear breach]

What parameters should I choose for 3k Phoebe?

[gleaming jolt]

Depends on team you are using and which round?

[clear breach]

Hmmm

I was gonna do round 1 but looking at the rounds I could wait for round 2 since it would benefit NC Marnie which I’m gonna use

[gleaming jolt]

Phoebe is also a special attacker so it can harm you too!

Round 2 will power up her moves as well

[fading cradle]

do be aware phoebe also uses special attacks so it’ll also boost her

[clear breach]

Ohh I see

I’ll make some teams for each of them and then send them here for feedback

[undone ether]

Gl then.

[clear breach]

I’m not the best at making teams but I came up with this

Don’t know if with the parameters it’ll change

Wait didn’t take to account that Barry is weak to ice

[swift swan]

dragon and bug teams look great

marnie handles dark-weak just fine, lisia doesn't contribute much though

bp barry and morgan are... odd choices for riley

i'd go for a physical support to help him set up

[clear breach]

I was gonna use Morgan for her T move but I realized that Riley already gets 6+ attack himself

BP Barry was there for the shield

Crit shield

[swift swan]

i don't think glacia raises crit at all

the chances of getting randomly critted is very low

[clear breach]

Ah it’s cus the boss hints said she does that sure crit

[swift swan]

she does use a lot of special moves though, you might want AOE sp def buffer

hmm, i'm looking through fighting weak glacia's moveset and there's no sure crit or higher crit chance at all

unless i'm missing something, i'm sleep deprived

[clear breach]

Weird then

[mellow linden]

Build Up

It’ll only occur after she Syncs

Which ideally you KO her before then since you’re using Riley

[clear breach]

Ohhhh

[clear breach]

Like who? Like someone who can give him that physical moves up effect?

Oh and I replaced Morgan for Oak and Nindorino

[swift swan]

that could help. i was thinking since he takes 3 turns to max his offenses, i'd get someone to help with crit buffs

[clear breach]

Oak already helps out with crit buffs + sp.def and special damage reduction

I didn’t know who to put so I chose Mc and Torchic

[clear breach]

Now I just need to choose what parameters to get to 3k

[grizzled harness]

4.4K Finish. Thanks again to those that helped me out with Sidney. Everything else was pretty easy, Phoebe took a couple tries to get it right. Next time going to try to aim for 5K

[rapid osprey]

well done!!

ok this is jank until i can rig up my roster icon calling system but

[spice ridge]

https://youtu.be/H9pG6nLgqMI?si=HEJFXUWiKPvqJHSK

For anyone that needs help doing steel stadium with F2P pairs

[tired sleet]

@quartz iron there are a lot of different point strategies, but a couple of them can be found in the first pin in this channel/forum. But as a general bit of advice, I’d avoid HP params unless you’re going for a Poison Stall strategy

If you think you can clear before sync, you can safely take “Sync Buff Up” with no punishment at all

[grizzled harness]

Came really close to rage quitting against Bertha but came up with this for 12K. I couldn't do 15K with the +6 atk but once removed made things much easier

BTW I'm not sure if I'm supposed to share these here or not so sorry in advance if not. First time trying out the special stadium

[eternal lodge]

Getting ready for (hopefully) last week without flutter mane for ghost weak stages

[karmic zephyr]

I actually want fire weak stages

[undone ether]

oh that looks good

[fading cradle]

next week glacia is fire weak

[undone ether]

t's for phones, pretty cool

[karmic zephyr]

finally my Victini will shine

[undone ether]

honestly, i put like Bertha (Steel), so i can search for them the entire way.

[karmic zephyr]

But I still haven't finished this week's stadium

[undone ether]

i'm actually liking your setup for additional effects though 😮

can ya post those?

[rapid osprey]

ofc! im still porting over the data before i build the back end, but i'm basically going to have a data validation dropdown to select the stage condition from using the shorthands ive developed for each one

[undone ether]

oh yeah drop down~

+status
-stat
reflect
barrier
∞field
-faint
+special
+physical
+syncbuff
+gauge

that should do it

unless i'm missing something

[rapid osprey]

... ykno if i were smarter/better at keeping them straight i would just do reflect/barrier dfjkgdfjhk

youre so much smarter

theres a few more tho

+effects (added effects) is the big one off the top of my head

[stiff wing]

I need help with sidney and glacia. I can't seem to find a dps for sidney and I don't have a terrain changer

[rapid osprey]

theres also -sync for initial sync cd reduction

[undone ether]

oh right

[rapid osprey]

do you have your roster anywhere?

+tracker

[frozen depot]

Link : https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/
Use this video guide to properly filter your pairs : https://imgur.com/a/2ONrAcl
Fill your pairs > Turn Visibility only for "Have" > Filter by Type then Role > Turn On "Separators" > Print with "Image" button

[rapid osprey]

it makes it easier for us to offer help if we know what you're working with

[stiff wing]

I have a ss but idek how to set that up

[rapid osprey]

also i presume your -stat is what i tag as debuff

screenshots work

[fading cradle]

what is this? looks fun to do

[rapid osprey]

im turning my stage clears thread into a spreadsheet bc of no nitro discord message character limits fgkjdfhj

[fading cradle]

ahh is this google sheets?

[stiff wing]

Geeta and Hilda have been used alr

[fading cradle]

idk how to work my way around sheets

[rapid osprey]

what are the full teams youve already used?

[rapid osprey]

yes, but once i finish it as a template i'll share the link for ppl to copy and fill it in for themselves most likely

[undone ether]

yep.

[rapid osprey]

so you can just clone that and input your data

[fading cradle]

awesome, looking forward to it, thanks!

[rapid osprey]

also this is cs but ive also been penciling in my dcss template

[stiff wing]

Geeta, Hilda/Serperior and Karen/houndiom
Cryus/palkia, acerola/pallosand and hop/zamazenta

[rapid osprey]

so i might update the cs template to match it a little better even tho i can retroactively find my /5s for cs

ok

you have darach, he's going to be your zone solution

you dont need to set a zone so much as overwrite sidney's zone

defog accomplishes that and helps with controlling his whole team's atk stat

[undone ether]

awww

[fading cradle]

you should try building a team around your damage dealer too

[rapid osprey]

for sidney, you want to offtype him

[undone ether]

hum.

[rapid osprey]

it wont be quite this segmented, just the 4 subsections instead of 3 as the change

[stiff wing]

Oh that makes sense

[stiff wing]

Who should I use to off type? Red?

[undone ether]

there we goo/

[rapid osprey]

beautiful rei <33

so proof, not red

[stiff wing]

It was a little awkward with them but yea I was trying lots of pairs

[rapid osprey]

sidney's team is packing snarl

and red does not want to waste any ls on dauntless

if you hadnt used geeta already, she would probably be the best pick

as runner up, we probably want anniversary lillie here

so darach, anniversary lillie, and now for our support

[stiff wing]

What type is darach

[fading cradle]

flying

he’s just there to debuff and remove zone

[stiff wing]

Yup yup

For support would i use elio and pri?

[fading cradle]

nope

elio and primarina are weak to grass first of all

[rapid osprey]

you dont have great options for dual defenders (i.e. units who would raise both your def and spdef), but either roxanne with her grid tile for +spdef on tm or marlon who i believe has the same

sorry, was combing through your roster

[fading cradle]

is this hard mode or master mode?

[rapid osprey]

i would definitely say hard

no exes in the roster

[stiff wing]

Yea hard

[rapid osprey]

unlocking master gives you enough for your first ex

[stiff wing]

Oh that's a old ss but I have Geeta and lear ex rn

[rapid osprey]

and there are units that wouldve been exed if it was possible

oh

nvm then lmao

but still good to know its on hard

what types does your medal have thus far?

[fading cradle]

yeah hard is no problem then

[rapid osprey]

this team doesnt have much wiggle room, but glacia probably we can get at least one additional type

[stiff wing]

I was thinking of using bea and farfetched for her

[rapid osprey]

that should be fine and she can set herself up with inertia, so someone like lenora would be excellent for +spdef and dropping defense for even bigger meteor assault

youve used karen, so i think we bring viola as our third slot here since bug is always annoying and she can caoe debuff spatk

so that gives you at minimum poison, dark, [presumably grass from rosa/serperior but lmk if that was meant to be fire from hilda/emboar], dragon, ghost, steel, flying, rock, fighting, normal, and bug

11/18 should be easy enough to complete next week not counting anything you already have or whatever you'll use for steven

[stiff wing]

Bea and viola for glacia?

[rapid osprey]

bea, lenora, and viola yes

[stiff wing]

For steven should I use lear and try to offtype?

[rapid osprey]

you can

he is water weak and you have dahlia tho

if you bring the 'permanent field effects' added condition, you can set rain with her max move at the very beginning for infinite rain

her passive means every razor leaf will reduce defense by 2, which takes away aggrons defense multipliers

her max move will set water rebuff

at 1/5 she doesnt have much from her grid, but you can support her with any +def units (and some healing)

skyla is probably your best pick, but you do not want her to be the primary target/first tactic since she's rock weak

[undone ether]

it looks good 😮

[gleaming jolt]

There is 2.5k params in the pins!

Check it out and add more params to make it 3k based on the teams!

Give it a try based on your understanding and if you find it difficult we will help you

[manic mica]

Until now , I haven't really cared about eggmons but Seaking is actually decent. i used my two most broken supports , Definetly surprised he was able to 3k

Discord really ruined the quality.

[fading cradle]

penny’s victory line 😭

[manic mica]

Just once or twice not more

[left storm]

You should really get striker gyarados

That Eggmon has zekrom tier damage

[manic mica]

I'll have to get a striker Magikarp then. Will keep in mind

[fading cradle]

is it this gyarados

[old orchid]

strike Gyarados is Bluecanine without getting balanced

[left storm]

Yeah tech and strike gyarados are sick

[manic mica]

Does that say "Hyper Beam"?

[left storm]

Striker has more damage, tech is better overall (flinch, still good damage, rain)

[left storm]

Yeah that's why he goes crazy

[manic mica]

Is it 4 gauge or reduced?

[left storm]

4 ofc

[manic mica]

Imagine if it was 2 like Arc Lance

So its a gauge heavy unit

[left storm]

All hyper beam units are gauge heavy

[fading cradle]

kinda wish my gyarados was male though, i dont like the female one’s white whiskers. was i just really unlucky with the gender ratio

[left storm]

Lance is just different because for an arc unit his impact and beams are pretty weak

[manic mica]

I mean tbh , his normal moves aren't too good but his B Move does a lot of damage

He's like the most straightforward unit to play

[fading cradle]

hyper beam fr

[left storm]

Yeah I mean that's what 1 use buddies are meant to be

[manic mica]

Him + Leon Alt have been helping me with CS On Type alot

[sick inlet]

Zekrom being slandered so bad
He has good nuke at 5/5 okayyy

[clear breach]

Round 1 Glacia

Should I try different params? I’m able to kill off the sides but I die once Glacia does her double blizzard

[lean lion]

You should avoid picking any hp and def params.

Also, you're missing some free points like interference immunity, sync buff, no stat reduction, both power of hit params, and can't change WTZ. This will be more manageable if you replaced strength params for any of the one's mentioned above.

Focus on mid and try to KO Walrein before it syncs. Glacia's Blizzard spam is annoying to deal with, you wanna KO as fast as possible.

[clear breach]

Ty ! I managed to beat her thanks to this

[undone ether]

tomorrow, hopefully we get infinite field effects

[north gulch]

what should i add to the off type pre sync params to get to 3k points

[old orchid]

depends on the team and the enemy

[mellow linden]

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” answer to 3k, you’re gonna have to experiment a bit yourself and see what works best for you

[mellow linden]

Depending on how new you are to Master Mode you may want to drop the points a bit rather than going for 3k immediately

[north gulch]

are strength params easier than max hp

[mellow linden]

Generally speaking they give the opponent less survivability and/or bulk compared to the parameters that increase stats directly

Because Strength ^ is a flat increase while the ones that directly increase the stat are % increases

[karmic zephyr]

I can't beat Drake with Cyrus, Kiawe and Acerola

I need to change someone or off type

[old orchid]

How about replacing Kiawe

Offtyping is perfectly fine

[karmic zephyr]

Well but if I use ARC Cynthia now, that means I will be vulnerable for Steven and Glacia

Replace Kiawe with who

also, I was thinking I could replace Acerola with SS Erika

[old orchid]

Water is a stacked type, you should not struggle much against Steven

Cyrus has way better Water dps than Dragon, just bring a rain setter like May

[karmic zephyr]

Cobalt stop reacting and help me 😢

[karmic zephyr]

But I thought I have to remove rain

oh wait

you mean against Steven

[old orchid]

Yes

[karmic zephyr]

So just use ARC Cynthia for Drake

[old orchid]

He is literally helping you, by agreeing with the advice

[clear breach]

Yup, even with the limited water types I have I was able to beat Steven with Nessa

[old orchid]

A based choice, tbh

[karmic zephyr]

okay so I beat Drake with ARC Cynthia

finally

let's move on to Glacia

Let's see

I was thinking NC Hop

Then Riley

and Wally as my striker?

[mellow linden]

NC Hop + Riley is more than enough damage just the 2 of them

You’d want a Support to help those 2 spend fewer turns on buffing themselves

And if needed help the gauge

[karmic zephyr]

what about Maylene?

[mellow linden]

You don’t need to make a monotype team

[karmic zephyr]

what about Skyla?

[mellow linden]

You’d ideally want +1 or more crit + gauge assistance

But you can also experiment and see what ends up working best for you

[karmic zephyr]

I don't think I have someone who buffs both gauge and crit for the rest of the team

When I put these filters I only get Pheromosa, Swampert and mismagius

which buff themselves

[old orchid]

None of them is a support

Just filter for supports you own and look at their moveset and passives

[mellow linden]

Gauge Support doesn’t mean Move Gauge Boost, generally speaking

That’s my bad for not clarifying, gauge Support generally means Speed buffs and/or Move Gauge Acceleration

[old orchid]

Riley also buffs team speed, and NC Hop is pretty gauge friendly

[mellow linden]

Ah, wasn’t sure if Hop ate a lot of gauge or not, good to know

[karmic zephyr]

Falkner?

[mellow linden]

Can probably just do the +1 or more crit and be fine then

[old orchid]

Try him then

It's not like I'm agreeing with you, i want you to do experiment to see if the options you bring up work or not

[karmic zephyr]

I don't do any damage

I need to check my parameters again

I realised I still have 3 very good supports that I haven't used yet

Chase, NC Bede and ARC Steven

2 of them are EX too

Maybe I could try NC Bede with Hop

[clear breach]

Have you tried Nidorino and Oak?

I mean he helped me

[old orchid]

A spdef buffer should work well enough

Glacia mainly spams special moves and Fighting weak stage is one of the weaker side

[karmic zephyr]

beat her

time for the final stage

and I can EX someone before I do that

hmmm

[old orchid]

Try to clear with your existing EX first

From what i know about your roster, you can craft a great team

[karmic zephyr]

hmmm I think I'm onto it

Chase, SS Lyssandre, Skyla

no wait, I need a rain setter right?

[old orchid]

That should do it

[fading cradle]

wait which fight is this?

[old orchid]

You don't, but they will be a great help

Stoven Stene

[fading cradle]

ah yes stoven stene

[karmic zephyr]

I could do May

I feel like Lyssandre and Chase will be enough anyway

[fading cradle]

she can boost ss lysandre’s moves with rain dance so she’s a good addition

[karmic zephyr]

I need to evolve her first

[old orchid]

[fading cradle]

[karmic zephyr]

I guess ARC Steven will go unused

But I can't use all my good pairs always

[old orchid]

Suffering from success

[karmic zephyr]

hahaha

I feel like my most powerful ones are SS Hilda, SC Irida and NC Marnie

[fading cradle]

fr lol

i cant use my killer fire team every week now bc there’s sometimes no fire weak stages and i won’t have a need to offtype

ss morty is too versatile

[karmic zephyr]

hmm it's not working

[old orchid]

Might be param issue

[karmic zephyr]

no it's not, I used the preset for 2.5 pre

but I think I know what it is

I don't activate Lyssandre's TM

the one that gets activated with a burned pokemon

[old orchid]

That's B Move

[karmic zephyr]

oh it's called B move

[old orchid]

Try to inflict burn on every target and use it after the EX support sync

[karmic zephyr]

okay yeah

[fading cradle]

you might have to turn off the no status conditions param if that’s the case

[karmic zephyr]

so it's rng?

[karmic zephyr]

oh you're so right! I totally forgot about that

[old orchid]

That's why you need to double check

[fading cradle]

yeahhhh, i accidentally left that param on and was wondering why i couldn’t burn the opponent, you definitely have to turn it off

[fading cradle]

what move level is your ss lysandre btw?

[karmic zephyr]

1

[fading cradle]

ah dang alright, guess i cant really help too much since my lysandre is 3/5

you’ll probably need support ex then

[karmic zephyr]

that's why I picked Chase

[calm marsh]

Even at 1/5, rain + supp’s Sync should still delete the stage

His B Move just that strong

[fading cradle]

yeah ss lysandre should absolutely cheese

[old orchid]

SS Lysandre is insane even at 1/5

[fading cradle]

i wish i knew that since i got him 3/5 from one scout

but yeah his b move just destroys

[karmic zephyr]

Aggron is getting paralyzed for attacking Pikachu before getting burned

[old orchid]

Then replace Chase or rely on dodges

[calm marsh]

You can also

Reset for non attack move

[old orchid]

That works too

But might take a lot of resets

[karmic zephyr]

I'm actually trying to do that, because I feel good about my team

and done

12k

it's not bad

each week I get more

ty for the help all

and now time to EX another pair!

[manic mica]

Teams for next week , looking for feedback , drake team is very weird but I hope I can make it work

[fading cradle]

fuck ice weak drake and poison weak wallace, i am NOT ontyping that shit 💀

[mellow linden]

Whenever I see Ice weak Drake I just immediately think “all shall return to crab”

[rapid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-rave-dancing-dancing-crab-gif-16543314

i refuse to ex hala unless i get to a point of ample champ spirits but

[fading cradle]

that crab didn’t help me last time

[noble plaza]

Anyone I should do or avoid on certain rounds?

[rapid osprey]

[fading cradle]

phoebe r2 is usually advised against

[mellow linden]

Tbf I have Ice Zone and EX Hala

But depending on point value and specific team/parameters that may not matter

[fading cradle]

my only ice zone setter is dc gladion

and my hala isn’t ex

[karmic zephyr]

I still haven't done the Pasio stadium

Which trainers are best to off type? Because I think I only have like 1-2 steel strikers

[spice ridge]

Try out the video above for f2p 15k

[clear breach]

Who’s a replacement for Bugsy and Scyther… cus I don’t got him

[old orchid]

any physical support would work fine

[crimson wolf]

How can I get more amount of damage? Debuffing the defense isn’t working. I can only get 800 damage and its not enough even changing the prem isn’t going to cut off

[fading cradle]

unfortunately base steven at 1/5 pretty much goes nowhere iirc

[crimson wolf]

This is what i have left

[undone ether]

she has sentry entrry x2.... you'll need a special attacker.

Sentry Entry x2 basically doubles the Physical Defense of anyone who has that passive.

[fading cradle]

and you don’t have to ontype btw

if you have strong off type damage dealers, use them

[crimson wolf]

i dont have another iron type

[fading cradle]

that’s why you offtype if you have the damage dealers to be able to do so

not all your damage dealers have to be steel type

[crimson wolf]

ok you sure about offtype? Because its not going to help that much

[fading cradle]

i off typed the entirety of the elite four, it’s pretty possible

[blazing perch]

Can I 3k?

[fading cradle]

i think ex kris or ss lysandre might be a better choice than 1/5 eusine

ss lysandre should cheese

[blazing perch]

I tried with all of them I die just before killing aaron

Maybe there’s something wrong here

[gleaming jolt]

Aaron?

[blazing perch]

The stevens Pokémon don’t remember name 😅

Agron something like that

[blazing perch]

Maybe I’m using wrong supports for kris

[fading cradle]

even at 1/5, i think ss lysandre can cheese

might have to try him + may + speed and defenses buffer

[blazing perch]

I need to take the status immune off

Cause he needs burn right?

[fading cradle]

yes

you could also bring a spatk buffer for him alternatively

also turn off can’t change wtz if you’re gonna bring may for rain

[blazing perch]

What about skyla and bede

[blazing perch]

What should I take instead cause they already feel strong

[fading cradle]

try them out first, see how they work

[fading cradle]

i had params like these when i fought steven, though idk how different a non ex 1/5 lyssandre is, but he’s still worth trying to use. his bmove can delete a stage pretty easily

with rain + support ex, he should be able to just wipe pretty well with his b move

[blazing perch]

He insta dies

He feels weak even with +6 def

[gleaming jolt]

Half Ally MP is not a good param to select here

[blazing perch]

But his dmg is good not good enough

[fading cradle]

i only had half ally mp on since i used the perma field effects param with steven

[blazing perch]

What should I take cause if I take any more strength or power on hit I’m gonna die faster

[fading cradle]

but yeah, it might be different for everyone

[blazing perch]

I tried to offtype with nc cheren almost did it but still didn’t win

[gleaming jolt]

Who are the team members?

[blazing perch]

Nc cheren skyla and Brendan

[blazing perch]

Maybe the params where a bit off

Were*

Oh I did it I had wrong params with nc cheren I sync for 68k and win

[versed sorrel]

What is the CS today?

[gleaming jolt]

[keen jasper]

Unintentionally perfect way to end Steven

[undone ether]

this is what's coming for this reset.

[swift swan]

updated

[undone ether]

woohoo half sync

[old orchid]

[fading cradle]

ewwwwww half sync 😷

[keen jasper]

Finally, some real fucking parameters

[fading cradle]

what the fuck is wrong with ghost weak phoebe this week

she did NOT hit that hard 2 weeks ago

[fading cradle]

lmfao get poison stalled wallace

[keen jasper]

Weak

[pine schooner]

Wow this week was easy, nice 15k clear again

[pine schooner]

Lmao I got surprised when she one shot my defenses buffed Steven with a singular sync move

[fading cradle]

she nearly one shot my leaf, i had to change params a bit 😭 and the aoe move spam was getting on my nerves

[trail smelt]

Half synced Wallace because I can lol

Too bad Cynthia decided to be funny and not crit vs Phoebe forcing me to reset when Phoebe’s sync DOES crit

[fading cradle]

it do be like that

[trail smelt]

Mmhmm

Ready for next week

[pine schooner]

How’s johto e4 compared to the rest in easy to hard clears?

[calm marsh]

Johto is on the easy side

I’ll say only Sinnoh and Hoenn are hard

[undone ether]

and kalos ;o

[manic mica]

everything that isn't hoenn or sinnoh

[lean lion]

A fitting farewell to Hoenn

I hate Glacia for ruining the full solo clear

[old orchid]

[toxic cobalt]

Lol Glacia

You'd think ARCSteven could do it

[sick inlet]

He can surely

The best in the world

[lean lion]

He probably could have if it weren't for these abominations:

I'd love to be proven wrong though

[manic mica]

This was easy except for Phoebe , Phoebe took me 2 hours , but the rest was done within a few tries. Goodbye Hoenn , no one will miss you

[manic mica]

Congrats!!

[lean lion]

Interesting choice for half sync btw. Is Nemona 3/5?

[manic mica]

Nope , she's 1/5

[lean lion]

And you presynced? I didn't know Nemona sync had that kinda oomph

[left storm]

Her buddy + sync and like

+7 PMUN

Hits hard

[lean lion]

Right, PMUN stacks coming in clutch

[left storm]

It's not hard to rush down stages with her

Because -2 cd on sun

And then TM

[manic mica]

I didn't even use Sun

I had the No changing WTZ zone param

[left storm]

I use it just to get the cd

[manic mica]

Post Synced*

[left storm]

Not like sun helps in any way

If she's 1/5

Aside circle

[manic mica]

True

[gleaming jolt]

Nice!

[lean lion]

Tysm!

[frosty pilot]

CSMM 15k budget edition

[clear breach]

Broo I can’t beat round 3 phoebe

[fading cradle]

you really should start taking both 50 point reductions tbh since they’re bypassed by crits

[manic mica]

Also , you have tech x3 damage , your Cynthia dies in one move

And skyla is a not ideal considering the enemy hits mostly specially

Since you're also helping Phoebe with ghost zone

And if you're having trouble taking hits , remove the Atk up 5 for more defensive Params since Cynthia should have no problem ploughing through her

[clear breach]

I definitely do damage now but I always die to her sync move

[manic mica]

Then get rid of Sync Buff and Power on hit parameters

Since you're doing post sync

[clear breach]

Still can’t beat it, this is my ghost roster it’s very limited on what I can do tho 😞

[gleaming jolt]

You have selected all offensive params!

Try these!

Remember these are not from the guides here!
It's just the setup I like to use!

Make necessary adjustments for Physical/Special Damage dealers,

Tech sync pairs

Wtz

It can allow you to survive the sync! But not too long after sync move!

[mellow linden]

The 50-point Physical Damage Reduction and 50-point Special Damage Reduction are a free 100 points total, as both are ignored by critical hits (which your damage-dealers should always be getting)

Since you have SSR Cynthia Victor + Spectrier is kinda redundant, you could try a different Ghost damage-dealer such as gridded Shauntal/gridded Helena/gridded Fantina

And adjust the Support accordingly

[clear breach]

Should I grid Helena with Sync Nuke or Shadow Ball Grid for it? I’m thinking Victor, Helena, and Melony could work

[mellow linden]

I more meant replacing Victor + Spectrier with the 2nd Ghost damage-dealer

But if you wanna do that team then Sync nuke grid for Helena

[clear breach]

Ohhh

Yeah I don’t think I can do this.. I keep dying to her ult

[frosty pilot]

as you can see here uninvested v sawyer which you have can give screens on TM

which may help you live a sync but you have to take off attack and special attack +5

and it looks like you didn’t take off tech 3x damage either

so SSRC would become super squishy

[clear breach]

Oh I did take it off

[frosty pilot]

can you show your current parameters

also if SSRC has no ex role she can’t get sides with sync

meaning you have to time your shadow forces well

or they clean you up with spread moves

idt you want to greed for the support EX sync buff since you still take too much damage

[clear breach]

Mhm

[frosty pilot]

did SSRC crit her sync

let me check her kit rq

[clear breach]

He’s

Yes*

[swift swan]

mmm, how about going for a presync parameter build instead of postsync

2/5 ssr cynthia doesn't have all her nuke tiles so giving phoebe too much bulk may go against your favor

[frosty pilot]

take off def and spdef +3

[manic mica]

Also take standard damage reduction 8

You're hitting them for On-Type it's free

[frosty pilot]

how much damage does a shadow force do with your parameters

[clear breach]

Just cleared the parameters but I remember one hitting 12k with super effective ^ effect

[frosty pilot]

should be enough to clean sides in one hit I think

with few HP params

[clear breach]

So should I sync the sides first ?

[frosty pilot]

kill mid with sync then shadow force into the sides

mid should die in 2 syncs but you have to quadqueue

and don’t click shadow force before that as it denies quad

[left storm]

I hadn't used hleon in a while, forgot that giving him SEUP in hail makes his glacial lance almost oneshot the stage

Based EX Dana NGL

[frosty pilot]

based

[left storm]

Also in csmm 1/5 sawyer do be pretty tanky

Just wish aggravation wasn't 3/5...

[clear breach]

My closest run so far 😭

[gleaming jolt]

1 thing I want to point!

This is R3 so sync buffs are more effective! You should sync first with an Ex Support to get more boost!

Or it doesn't matter?

[clear breach]

Nope, even if I had sync buffs i still die to her ult

[gleaming jolt]

Hmm

[left storm]

Is your renegade 1/5?

[clear breach]

2/5

[left storm]

You shouldn't struggle too much with Sawyer anyway, must be a parameter issue

[keen jasper]

Anyone else want 3.5k in the next major CS update?

3k is still too easy even if I retired from doing 4k pts.

[crimson wolf]

I don’t know what off type I use but I have to use water. And it’s not working

Trying to lower its sp def

[gleaming jolt]

When offtyping use two damage dealers instead of one!
It will benefit you more than SpDef debuffs

[old orchid]

You should also check your parameters

[clear breach]

It lowk might be a skill issue for me 😖

[left storm]

I'd love 4k if we get new params

3.5k is kinda awkward unless you use only limiteds atm

[keen jasper]

Yes, let the new players suffer

[left storm]

Are you running all STR?

[fading cradle]

no

[clear breach]

STR?

[keen jasper]

Strength

[clear breach]

Oh the yes

[crimson wolf]

Ok how did you beat it with offtype units?

This is the prem I use

[supple reef]

well if you’re offtyping you can’t take standard damage reduction 8, that’ll be a start

[crimson wolf]

So take turn off standard?

[old orchid]

Turn it off immediately

Also don't need to take def up on top of strength param

No status condition is free

And as someone pointed out earlier, using another Water dmg dealer works better than Lucian, not to mention being able to get a free 100 pts param

[crimson wolf]

But that means, I’ll not make them flinched or getting trap

[lean lion]

Those are status changes (affected by Interference Immunity), No Status Conditions disables stuff like poison, paralysis, burn.

[old orchid]

You can't trap or flinch them when you take the no intereference param only

[crimson wolf]

Can you show me your param so I can copy it down?

[old orchid]

Your params are fine, just do the changes we suggested

[crimson wolf]

But I don’t know what to turn off

Can you just show me

[supple reef]

Disable Standard Damage Reduction 8 (you have it enabled, this is an 80% reduction on offtype damage)
Turn on No Status Conditions and 250 points of other parameters to compensate. Depending on your team No WTZ can be a free 150 points

Otherwise run your parameters as is

HP down can also be free points if you have a defensive support or are presyncing

if this is the SS Mina Eusine team then you probably go the HP down route

[crimson wolf]

No weather? So no rain?

[supple reef]

I didn’t have the full context so keep the rain, you could compensate with extra damage received parameters or HP down and presync, Mina is a solid defensive tank so she can help your team if they start the battle at half HP

[clear breach]

Think I’m just gonna do this without master mode for now and try with a different round on master mode

[swift swan]

still running postsync parameters? try using the 2.5k presync params on pins and add a bit of strength

[woeful wolf]

Champion stadium is ROUGH this week. 😢

[clear breach]

Nope I changed it to pre sync I believe

[swift swan]

hmmm I notice you couldn't sync twice before Phoebe syncs

can you quadqueue?

+quadqueue this allows you to sync twice before phoebe syncs once

[frozen depot]

Watch this footage (17s clip) : https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx3Nr07pJo2Noud7AwWW4yWQQIDbYsQTJQ
In this clip, when Flannery is about to Sync the opponent Aaron has nothing queue'd in the list. This leaves us with a very short window after the sync to queue a fourth move. Note in the clip how Flannery queues her TM before the opponent's High Horsepower. Look out for the orange "spiral aura" around your syncing Pokemon after the sync, the correct timing to queue is when that spiral is fading away, but you can also resort to button mashing!

The benefits of quad-queue is that it allows us to get two sync moves before the opponent's first one which is a game-changer if you're not using sync acceleration. A Sync Move does not count toward the Sync Countdown which is why without Quad-Queue or Sync Accel your second cycle usually leaves you at 1 countdown left when the opponent is using their Sync.

Note that Quad-Queue cannot be done under certain conditions that will make the opponent queue as your sync is executing :

• If a field effect (such as weather, zone, move gauge acceleration etc) expires on the turn you're syncing. Usually happens if a field effect was cast on entry or first turn.
• If an allied passive triggers an effect right after an enemy action completes (such as First Aid, Team Shout, Freevenge etc...)

[clear breach]

Hmm I’ll try thst

That

Would it make a difference if I did Phoebe round 2?

[pine schooner]

Hey a fellow oak janine and Lucy user

[fading cradle]

here were my clears, poison stalling just deletes the poison weak stages lmfao

[bitter veldt]

This week has the shittiest 1st round rule: quicker sync for both enemies and us.

[fading cradle]

half sync is just poo

[bitter veldt]

As a pre syncer myself

I wanna kill them all asap

But when they get sync fast too

I die first

[fading cradle]

might as well post sync half sync param atp

i hate half sync grrrr

[bitter veldt]

It's ok in the worst scenario my poison stall team can clutch I hope

But first round is lit the hardest ironically this week

It doesn't matter who it is. This stupid sync rule

I'ma try Steven if he can clutch this sync rule. He's supposed to be THAT good right? Haha

[fading cradle]

alright got my “teams” planned for next week, ive never completed a johto stadium before so my teams look SO stupid rn 😭 i’m trying to make this harder for myself by not being able to repeat a type

and i wasnt trying to synergize the teams lol

[sharp willow]

johto's stages aren't too hard, so these teams should reasonably work fine. Koga's stages do prove annoying sometimes though

[fading cradle]

yeah i heard fire weak koga was one of the more annoying stages. i cant brute force him with my killer fire team at all this month, sad

[bitter veldt]

Ok Steven is THAT good 😂 lol

Thank God. The worst rule out of the way.

[fading cradle]

steven eats

i hate half sync still

[bitter veldt]

Even my Cynthia can't handle half sync rule

Yup the worst rule ever

[sharp willow]

Flying Weak also is on the harder end because it (effectively) has Sentry Entry x2 on the mid and Wise Entry x2 on the sides

[fading cradle]

what

2x and not 2??????

[sharp willow]

yeah they have doubled stats rather than just having the passives

but they also have relatively low HP so it's not the biggest deal

[fading cradle]

how annoying, guess i’ll just have to nc cheren brute force them then

[sharp willow]

Ice Weak has an evasion gimmick but only buffs evasion post-sync so that should be fine, and Ground Weak is just a stage

but fire and flying weak koga are the hardest stages of Johto CS iirc

[fading cradle]

somehow i gotta delete ice weak koga with ghetsis before he can sync then

gtk about ground weak koga though since ground weak stages were never my strongest point

[sharp willow]

Hostile Environment 1 poison jab, no other gimmick

[fading cradle]

and what’s the deal with poison weak will

he has hostile environment and sludge bomb

[sharp willow]

terrain gimmick and he can poison you, but he also has lower than average HP

and the terrain is Green Thumb so you can just never encounter it

most johto CS stages are just not really issues, it's only Fire and Flying Weak Koga that have annoying gimmicks from memory

[left storm]

It's fine if you have a half decent roster

Or have a stage that fits either

• silver
• event victor
• Riley
• cyrus

For new accounts

As all of them can delete stages before they act 3 times

[long thicket]

Mix Blue really makes the Fire Glacia stage so much easier...

[clear breach]

I WAS SO CLOSEEE

[left storm]

You don't onetap sides with shadow force?

[clear breach]

I can but I wanted to see if I could kill phoebe first

I use Shadow force after I sync right?

[left storm]

The idea is using shadow force after to kill her yea

[clear breach]

unfortunately i can still only sync once

[left storm]

Well ideally you sync on mid
Shadow force, kill mid
Shadow force, kill side
Shadow force, win

[karmic zephyr]

Ideas for main strikers and I'll try to build around them:
Sidney: NC Marnie
Phoebe: SC Irida
Glacia: SS Hilda
Drake: ARC Cynthia
Wallace: ??? Oak Nidorino? Plumeria?

how do these sound?

Potentially I could save either Cynthia or Marine for Wallace but I don't think my fairy or ice strikers are that strong

For Sidney I can use SS Wally and BP Valerie but I just don't really think Valerie can do damage

And my only ice striker for Drake is Hala

[proud axle]

Wallace looks v toxic stallable, especially with the status amp round parameter locked to that fight

If your tank has flame charge, you can thaw at will

...Actually it seems most or all fire supports can self thaw (and if it's Morty, Sun blocks freeze teamwide as well)

[clear breach]

Couldn’t do it and just caked Cynthia

I beat it after I caked her though

[left storm]

Could've probably won without doing that

But as long as you're satisfied

[light crane]

Hey all. Kinda new. Getting destroyed on champion stadium. Here's my roster please help.

Thanks in advance

[bitter veldt]

Eat it you.

[clear breach]

Finally I beat it

12.3k points

[bitter veldt]

15k but one of the worst week that was more frustrating than rally. I had much easier time with Pasio Special.

[proud axle]

We're back to the Johto League next week, so that's an easy month

[bitter veldt]

THANK GOD.

I lit started playing this game at the worst timing with Champion Stadium (Alola, Sinnoh, Hoenn) but at the best timing with sync pair pulls (anniversary).

[karmic zephyr]

have you beat hard mode yet?

[fading cradle]

have fun with flying and fire weak koga though

and let’s not forget ghost weak will’s stats literally can’t be lowered

[bitter veldt]

Another fire?

AND flying?

I lit do have units for those but they SUCK butts at 1/5

[fading cradle]

flying and fire weak koga are pretty notorious for annoying gimmicks too

[bitter veldt]

Red charizard and Anni Skyla

[fading cradle]

if you didn’t complete the medal for johto yet, you don’t have to worry about 3king fire weak koga. he’s the first week of the stadium and he’ll never be fire weak again for the rest of the stadium

[bitter veldt]

OH YEAH

i forgot

i dont have to worry for first 2 weeks

i only have to worry the last 3 weeks for ALL

[fading cradle]

though i still think his defenses rising every time you HIT him is annoying 🗿

[bitter veldt]

i'm new here. I forgot

But Sinnoh and Hoenn 18 types completed!

Alola i finished like 10types... and just finished it at that. That was the dark days when I didn't even TRY after frustration w gen pool syncs...

[fading cradle]

i only 15ked alola and sinnoh once 🤡 hoenn was the first time i 15ked all my csmm runs

i personally have a grudge against steel weak bertha, dark weak lucian, and fairy weak hala now

[bitter veldt]

so i started getting continuous 15k after getting all the arc syncs lol which is hoenn. I got ecstatic when I got a 3K w arc cynthia in sinnoh once.

it was the most euphoric feeling from i dont even touch CS noob to WOW I can do this feeling.

but this week made me almost think arc syncs weren't enough. but i got by...

[fading cradle]

your first 15k is one of the best feelings of poma imo

i was over the moon when i had my first 15k clear

[bitter veldt]

god i can't imagine building up from pulling master fairs/pokefairs and building roster to get to that.

i just got lucky i started playing this just a month before anniversary happened.

but yeah my 15k exp this month was .... one of the best feelings

[lean lion]

Are you trying to tackle hard mode or MM?

[sick inlet]

They have the best in the world

[stiff wing]

Need help with glacia she's not taking much damage

[lean lion]

Is this for hard mode or MM?

[stiff wing]

Hard mode

[lean lion]

Okay so you wanna pick 5 damage dealers and build your teams around them. Are you familiar with the type medal?

[stiff wing]

Are those the one to unlock MM

[lean lion]

Yes

[stiff wing]

Am 12/18 rn

[lean lion]

Oh nice

Can you send which ones are already registered?

[sharp willow]

Would you be able to fill this in to let us see what you have available to use?

+tracker

[frozen depot]

Use this video guide to properly filter your pairs : https://imgur.com/a/2ONrAcl
Fill your pairs > Turn Visibility only for "Have" > Filter by Type then Role > Turn On "Separators" > Print with "Image" button

[stiff wing]

All of them😄 i haven't beat a single one yet

[sharp willow]

I meant like, in terms of characters you own right now

[stiff wing]

Oh oops

I can send the pics again but gimme a sec

[lean lion]

Ita okay you don't have to send them again

[sharp willow]

Oh oop, didnt see those

[lean lion]

Here's what you can do:

SS Red + Blaine + Support vs Glacia

Hala + Skyla + Mina vs Drake

Elesa + SS Lear + any 3rd vs Sidney

Anni Lillie + Oak + any 3rd - Phoebe

Nita + Geeta + any 3rd vs Wallace

This covers all remaining types too

[sharp willow]

I would recommend farming and using Giovanni against Phoebe and using a character like Blaine against Phoebe instead of Lucian, it should make life a bit easier

[lean lion]

If you can farm up Giovanni (you should), what Mex recommended will work even better

Just use Giovanni for Phoebe and replace Lucian for Blaine with SS Red

@stiff wing

[stiff wing]

Gotcha I've been trying Blaine and ss red but she's not taking much damage

[lean lion]

Are you fully buffing Red's offenses?

You might wanna bring someone to help with his buffs, so a sp atk and/or crit buffing support would work well

[stiff wing]

I used elesa for spa

[lean lion]

She works, SS Lear doesn't need any help at all so you can just put any fodder pair with him and he's good

[stiff wing]

She'd heal back all the damage too

[sharp willow]

Are you making sure you replace Hail with Blaines Sunny Day

[stiff wing]

Si

[lean lion]

You need to replace Hail on the first turn. Glacia has a passive that heals her when she attacks under hail.

[stiff wing]

Oh okay I'll try again ina bit after I get gio

[lean lion]

Also make sure to replace Hail both times, at the start, and then one move before Glacia sync

Oh and replace Oak on the Phoebe team with someone who can buff sp atk for Giovanni

[stiff wing]

They're too squishy and they're dying even with the sun up

[old orchid]

i couldn't follow the convo, so i don't know who are you using

if she hits too hard, you should bring a spdef buffer

[lean lion]

It's Elesa Blaine SS Red vs Glacia

I'm thinking replace Elesa with Lenora

[old orchid]

yeah might need to replace Elesa

[lean lion]

Just make sure to fit Elesa into one of the other teams (preferably with Geeta or SS Lear) since you need to register Electric

[stiff wing]

Yea i understand I'll add lenora and see if that helps

[lean lion]

Another option for Glacia is getting Silver from legendary adventures

Silver would probably work better honestly

[stiff wing]

I beat her and am fighting drake rn

[lean lion]

Nice

[stiff wing]

After I kill the flygon I'm too slow to keep getting my move bar back and that's killing me

[old orchid]

who are you using

[stiff wing]

Hala, Skyla and mina

[old orchid]

that means gauge should not be a problem

is Skyla 3/5?

and 4*

[stiff wing]

5/5 and 4*

Nvm she's 1/5

[old orchid]

do you grid her with TM MPR and Potion tile

oh oops

candy her asap

[stiff wing]

She's 3/5 now and how should I grid her

[old orchid]

grid her like this at very least: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1600/58100?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=18040702&g=AAECAwQFExQVGCYo

[stiff wing]

Got it

[lean lion]

Another small tip, after mid goes down, you can stop queueing moves with other pairs. Just let Hala clean up with Ice Hammer.

[stiff wing]

Yuppers I figured

[graceful smelt]

I got tired of Glacia and Drake both, but at least I finalized the 15K

[sick kraken]

Wow Lear is so cool btw

[chilly tiger]

Hey all, as a 1 week old player.... what should be my aim for the champ stadium? What could I realistically achieve? I assume it mainly based on what I have available to use

[old orchid]

you should try to register ~10 types or more into the type medal

[left storm]

Your Silver and your Blue & Pidgeot?

[near coral]

Had a struggle on a couple of the matches but was able to get the clear for this week. Next week being a new region is going to be awkward in terms of maximising the number of badges I can get in one go

[sick inlet]

15 in a week is your max possible outcome

Good news though

Johto is much Easier than Hoenn

[vast dome]

Eh, top 5 Steel attackers are more like a Top 3. I'll off type the rest

[sick inlet]

You can clear CSMM with just those 14 units

[light crane]

Hard mode

[light crane]

Hard mode

[lean lion]

And how's your progress for Type Medal?

[light crane]

I honestly don't know what those words mean 😅

[lean lion]

Champion Stadiums has 2 difficulty modes: Hard Mode and Master Mode. To unlock Master Mode you need to complete Hard Mode while using Pokemon of all 18 types (can be done in 2 weeks as a minimum - 18 types).

[left storm]

Celesteela can DPS 3k not even joking

[lean lion]

Have you cleared any of the stages yet?

[gleaming jolt]

This
#1009554906568462476 message

I think you can check it by clicking Hall of Fame

[swift swan]

(just know that hall of fame is only accessible if you've cleared Hoenn CS at least once)

[lean lion]

Another option is going to the team selection menu through CS, Type Medal is shown on bottom right

[light crane]

No because I am terrible at team building and don't want to play it manually I want to auto 🤣

Realized coming from summoners war this game is very much not autoable

[fading cradle]

you absolutely don’t want to auto this

the ai in this game is incredibly stupid anyways and doesn’t take the helpful gimmicks into account

[lean lion]

Teambuilding is an integral part of this game. You're pretty much gonna have to learn the basics of it if you want to see any measure of success even in the easiest of endgame modes - Champion Stadium is one of them.

And, no, this is not going to be possible to clear on auto.

Doesn't even triple queue let alone actually countering enemy gimmicks and such

[fading cradle]

it really only considers enemy weakness and things like that

the ai dont give a shit about team synergy

[blazing perch]

Can I 3k?

[swift swan]

should be doable with nemona

she's physical though yeah? so you want a good physical support instead of chase

[blazing perch]

Like who?

I tried but the middle Pokémon feels too tanky I tried taking off hp etc still feels nemona can’t clear fast enough

[bitter veldt]

Bruh. Johto's a joke compared to what we've been getting these months with Sinnoh and Hoenn. Their Sentry and Wise Entries are almost non-existent.

Well always happy to see I'll get easier time next month.

[fading cradle]

just beware of koga lol

[fading cradle]

what are your params looking like?

[idle warren]

for the purposes of csmm, are silver and ho-oh servicable even without grid expansion? im using him with 3/5 lyra and 2/5 gordie

[sick inlet]

Yeah

He can still put in some work

[idle warren]

..maybe im doing something wrong then

sacred fire straight up deals like

300 dmg

overheat does like 6k

[left storm]

Physical damage 8

Is active

[idle warren]

HE'S PHYS??

[left storm]

And his sync is physical too

[idle warren]

😭 thank you

[left storm]

His only special move is overheat

Sync and sacred fire are Phys

[idle warren]

this still feels impossible

[median kindle]

Which E4 should be battles first

[mellow linden]

Check the pins for recommended fights to avoid on specific rounds, otherwise the order isn’t very important outside of half-Sync rounds being something you want to plan very carefully

[sick inlet]

Nothing Steven Can't Solo

[fading cradle]

steven is too goated

[thorny wind]

Gladion didn't care that I accidentally set the Special Reduction 8 parameter

Screenshot too early but that was oneshot lol

[lean lion]

You never disappoint, @sick inlet

Grad healing wasn't a problem?

[sick inlet]

not an issue if she doesn't get to attack much anyways
I cleaned sides first so I can just perma stun mid

[lean lion]

So at the start just focus down sides then toy with Glacia?

Also did you pick more pot mpr/master healer tiles?

[sick inlet]

Pretty much, while I would bet you can do it the normal way, this way is easier vs opponents that take longer to die

Actually just 1 mpr node

I believe

Let me check

1 node only

I only used 1 mpr anyways

[lean lion]

Amazing

Best in the world!

[swift swan]

anyone who can give PMUN would be nice. what are your params? maybe that's the issue

[manic mica]

4k?

[lean lion]

4k on-type is definitely doable

On-type + R5 param = solo Oak cheese

[sick inlet]

While more than 3k is possible on this same stage, 4k would probably need more cheese/luck, this one didn't need any resets from me

[sick inlet]

Ouf
Oak Cheese
I need to use Oak
I am yet to use that Oak

[lean lion]

You should!! His grid is soo good for stalling. Didn't even have mpr gridded for this run. Gonna try vs Glacia later

[manic mica]

Oak is finally getting the recognition

[gleaming jolt]

Same

[dreamy flare]

Any recommendations for round order in the special stadium?

[dusty blade]

fuck it we ball n see wat works

[dreamy flare]

At 6k points rn

9k

[dreamy flare]

Done lol

[sick inlet]

[idle warren]

Can someone help me figure out how to do this glacia r1 fight? I feel like my silver can beat her without expansion but idk

[old orchid]

What team were you trying to do

[idle warren]

This

I tried swapping the elio slot with lenora and morgan, but no dice

[old orchid]

I would get rid of Lyra

You need to replace hail asap

[mellow linden]

1. You’d probably want to run Blaine + Rapidash as an additional Sun setter so you can have some on-demand casts.
2. Is there any particular reason you’re set on doing Glacia specifically for round 1? Depending on your roster you may find it easier to do the half-Sync round on someone else.

[idle warren]

There’s no particular reason other than I feel like it may be harder to beat her with the later rounds

Ill try it with blaine tho, ty

No luck still lol

Even though I have sun on demand

Should I just get rid of lyra

[mellow linden]

I think Gakon suggested doing so already

[idle warren]

Yeah but I thought that was because I didnt have any sun setter

[sick inlet]

Lyra and Silver both set sun after syncing

But you want the sun to avoid hail buffs

[idle warren]

Ik, im just wondering if I should still slot in lyra

Honestly think im gonna have to off type

[sick inlet]

What's your fire options?

[mellow linden]

You can also face Glacia on a later round since it means you’ll have more time to beat her before she Syncs

And rounds 2 and 4 have effects that’ll boost Silver’s damage

Sorry, rounds 2 and 3

[sick inlet]

Oui 4 gives speed

[idle warren]

My only other real fire strike is 1/5 ss red

[idle warren]

Hmm yeah good point

[sick inlet]

Hmmmm i think red can out dps Silver when not expanded

[paper summit]

Red always wins on dps, expanded Silver or not, the difference is in the sync move

Silver is gonna win there, with Red being 1/5 and all

[peak stirrup]

How much my +6 Atk +6 Sp Atk 3/5 EX SSR Cynthia does on sync vs Phoebe r2

[mellow linden]

Do you have Physical Damage Reduction 8 on by mistake?

[peak stirrup]

Nope, that was the first thing I checked.

[mellow linden]

Could have failed to crit then

[violet timber]

yeah that’s a non crit

I’ve got those way too many times to know

[peak stirrup]

Picture shows crit strike 2. Bug?

[mellow linden]

No, it just means you failed to crit the center while critting one or both sides

Critical Strike pops up if any opponent is crit by an AoE

[clear breach]

Should I switch out Lenora for someone who can max out Lillie’s attack and crit? The closet I’ve gotten to killing Red is when I left him at 15% before he synced, most of times I have to reset because Lillie herself won’t crit on her attacks

[lean lion]

Are you syncing with Skyla first?

[clear breach]

No

I don’t think I would be able to kill Red in time

[grave wyvern]

If you're syncing with Lillie you're going to want her crit at +3

(since sync moves have an inherent -1 to the crit rate)

[lean lion]

You can grid Sharp Entry on Lillie

And if you can quad queue syncing with Skyla first would also max out Lillie's atk

But swapping Lenora is also okay

Someone like Oak or 3/5 Tierno would work best for faster speed debuffs, or you could bring someone with -1 sync cd to skip a full turn paired with Lillie tm

[idle warren]

i feel like there's no way im beating this csmm, i dont have good units for any of their weaknesses

even with cynthia im struggling to off-type phoebe

[lean lion]

Can you share your params?

[old orchid]

Phoebe asks you to remove her positive buffs, which can be handled easily by Event Victor

You also get 100 free pts by picking the +3 stats for the enemies, because you erase them immediately

[idle warren]

I just have the standard off type params

[idle warren]

Do you think victor could handle an on type battle as the main dps

[manic kiln]

Yes but dealing with sides might be hard if they spam aoe, I usually pair him with fantina for f2p clear. Nuke the mid, then 2 shadow balls to clear sides

[idle warren]

I dont have fantina but ill give victor another shot

[sick inlet]

Never let the past haunt you

Phoebe uses dead creatures to haunt you
You're better than that

[old orchid]

You can use Giovanni as a Ghost dps

[manic mica]

Off topic but I really hope that A Shedinja with wonder guard unit releases

[sick inlet]

That's kinda pointless? Since it would have 1 hp?

Or i guess they really gonna change it up

[calm marsh]

Best tank until enemy Sync

[trail smelt]

dies to weather

[sick inlet]

I mean they can make it like DC mons

Untouchable even with synd

Sync

Like it does 0 dmg

Unless ontype

[calm marsh]

Only get dmg by 1 type is broken tho

[sick inlet]

Kinda unfair in this game

[calm marsh]

In main game it has uhhh how many weakness ?

[sick inlet]

Like 4

Or 5

[calm marsh]

5

[sick inlet]

5 yeah

Make it dark ghost
1 weakness

[calm marsh]

Bug Supp

Supp/Sprint with a ton of Sync CD

And will die by only Sync Move

[sick inlet]

Maybe they'll make a unit
Where you can damage it like normal

[calm marsh]

Immune to everything

[sick inlet]

But it only dies to SE

Ontype

So lets say it has 20k hp

You deal 20k to it

Then 1hp you need to ontype it

Or it never dies

[manic mica]

Sync Endure 9

[left storm]

Fire
Rock
Flying
Ghost
Dark

But msg had sand + Hail (rip) and status spam without accounting k-off being on 50% of the population since gen 6

3 of those 5 types are also insanely common in competitive

Offensively

[sick inlet]

Fire rock dark?

I imagine

I also apologize for the offtopic
Please feel free to ask about Champion Stadium here

[fading cradle]

yes about champion stadium, next week is johto

[old orchid]

I only accept help request from who struggling to beat Koga || (in all seriousness this is a joke i always try my best helping everyone) ||

[fading cradle]

jokes on everyone, fire weak koga is the week i dont even have johto csmm unlocked

bc i dont have the medal filled out at all!

[mellow linden]

Fortunately Johto CS is way easier than Hoenn CS

The only real restrictive gimmick is like, Flying weak Koga with “Wise Entry x2 before it was cool”

Which is a bit of a joke these days since Lodge Skyla is 100% free

[fading cradle]

if i was able to 15k every week of hoenn, surely i can 15k every week of johto yeah?

[manic mica]

Melissa has NC Cheren , they'll be fine

[mellow linden]

Almost certainly

[blazing perch]

Guys I’m gonna try to do the event stadium this is my current steel roster can I get at least 2 teams for the event and then maybe offtype the others?

[vague solar]

5/5 arc Steven is crazy

[blazing perch]

Yeah I used all my luck there didn’t get any other pulls I wanted except pity

[vague solar]

You can easily do 3, maybe 4 on-type

Lame, hes worth it tho

[blazing perch]

Is 3k possible?

I’m sure stevens team can 3k

But dunno about the others

[vague solar]

Steven solo can 3k

[blazing perch]

Can u suggest me some teams to try?

[vague solar]

Yea just thinking rq

I don’t know a ton about some of these units but

MC/Solgaleo + Lillie/Solgaleo + Colress can probably do well

[fading cradle]

there’s no support in that team

[vague solar]

Maybe swap MC for someone with gauge and/or debuffs actually

[blazing perch]

I was thinking doing 3 teams with 3 steel attackers and offtype supports

[vague solar]

Lowkey forgot colress wasn’t a support 😭

[blazing perch]

Like lilie one team mc solg other team etc

[vague solar]

That’s smart

I’m kinda new to this so take this with a grain of salt but

What about colress + lillie + event oak?

[blazing perch]

It’s fine ur still helping
