Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

[stone scarab]

Still a good idea to spam thousand waves in this scenario

[jaunty stump]

For articuno, does burn count as a negative status change to remove its 3x def and def buff?

Or does it have to be rebuff?

[true lagoon]

status condition vs status change

it doesnt have to be rebuff but status conditions are not status changes

[jaunty stump]

Ah ic...

So would confusion and flinch count as negative? 😂

[true lagoon]

yes

but sides has friend care

so that would proc resilience as soon as they use an item

[jaunty stump]

I see... so rebuff is the only way to go? 😂

[thin canyon]

I used trap for my clear

[stone scarab]

Rebuff is the best choice, followed by Restrain

[jaunty stump]

I see... ty

[covert marlin]

or Victor piercing blows go pro

have Morty and maybe any other dragon to boost/heal him and let the monke tank

[low pilot]

Would this work? Probably not, since heat wave spam

[true lagoon]

gauge is dead

[fading walrus]

I mean it can definitely work

[fading walrus]

I think +6 speed gladion+ Geeta should hold up well tbh

The issue is how bad Geeta meshes with ssac

[true lagoon]

295 isnt great

but yeah she also directly conflicts with ssac

[fading walrus]

With darach you should rather focus on attack over defence anyway

You can make do with shitter offensive supports over super defensive ones

[low pilot]

Tried NC Rosa but she dies halfway through

should I be Rock Sliding or Mortal Spinning?

My original thought was Rock Slide but I was told to do Mortal Spin

But eh so far team seems to die halfway through the run

[fading walrus]

I'm pretty sure rock slide is better

With SDE9

[crude marten]

rock slide is better

mortal spin only to poison and her buddy move to lower def

she has rs sde9 and toxic power 3

[short gate]

this doesn’t have the battle challenges repository (for the galar va rerun), does anyone know where it is?

Been struggling with the powerboost challenge one that came out today

Round 2 is no joke

[low pilot]

I just saw Rosa die to a 1k brave bird

[slate bison]

try harder

[shrewd marten]

But how

[jade marsh]

update on that as well cause it was brought up: I might change it back to just Extreme Battles because Battle Challenges are too wide (they have no region boost so there's so many combinations you can do). For Battle Challenges the best advice I can give is just post your roster and we can come up with a team

[low pilot]

Was unfortunately in Fighting form

Any recommended grid for NCRosa?

Been alternating between Team Force Field and Easy Pickings 9

[left crow]

Does argenta get immune to flinch?

[jade marsh]

the UB one? No but she clears it every move

wait no she's immune to flinch

[left crow]

Ugh ew

[jade marsh]

she clears trap/confuse

[left crow]

I have ss acerola, mixred, and zerena for argenta but over time i can't gauge well enough

I was wondering what unit can replace zerena for the constant status change

[jade marsh]

anyone with 2 uses of rebuff can work

as well as anyone else with restrain

[left crow]

Doesn't she clear rebuff?

[jade marsh]

she clears it at 50%

but you can just reapply it

[low coral]

https://youtu.be/5GgHkdWPp6M?si=KeYFArwNxkIfJk-H

[jade marsh]

so you apply 1 for 100% to 50%

then 1 for 50% to 0%

[left crow]

Well I am a nob

[shrewd marten]

Zerena is just there

Same picture as Selene

(This is a joke)

[onyx cedar]

[short gate]

Alright then

What f2p team worked for the 3x galar tags for missions?

[obsidian meadow]

The only f2p Galar pair is Hop

[short gate]

I don’t have Sonia even though I have every other galar unit really high (got powerups from Bea multiple times)

[short gate]

the best*

[obsidian meadow]

Not having Sonai is rough

[short gate]

blaming rng

I was trying eve, alister and hop

[obsidian meadow]

You need to give status to mid

[short gate]

They’re all 5/5

Grided

[jade marsh]

oh there's some in the archive

[short gate]

Hop doesn’t have expansion yet but it’s close

[obsidian meadow]

My old one is Hop Sonia Bea. Sonia very critical to that.

[jade marsh]

@short gate see bottom of the thing, there's some clears in there

[short gate]

Let me check

[jade marsh]

i need to archive the EBs that ended and i'll move it up to the top

i'll change it back to region boosted ones 😭

[short gate]

By thing you mean the archive?

[jade marsh]

sorry, i mean the main tab

it should be below the 3 EBs we had now

[short gate]

Ah

[jade marsh]

in the active tab

[short gate]

Found it thanks

[rotund oasis]

man. next time. i'm getting Godcerola :x

[short gate]

Unfortunately my gordie isn’t 4/5

And no sonia

On the 25th we will see if it changes, I’ll summon probably

[dim lance]

https://youtu.be/rn8C-Qyxpj4?si=TuJ6847puNXtd6h7

Mfw Darach is so bad

[jade marsh]

if the gordie is 3/5 they should be able to replicate the grid

[rotund oasis]

yooo Elaine gaming 😮

[dim lance]

You can bully his ass with 3 supports

[rotund oasis]

wait, is this the gaming where you stack SMUNs for Swift? lol

[crude marten]

so is argenta

[solar stirrup]

wtf

[low pilot]

Geeta got one shot by sync
Literally 80% to 0

From darach

I wasn't running vigilance so maybe I got critted due to Dire Hit +

Should I swap her cookie?

But then no debuffing and darach's gonna really hurt

[crude marten]

what teams are you running again

[low pilot]

[crude marten]

i would recommend taking out one support for a tech

have to see which tech you have invested though

[low pilot]

All modern techs; just mention a genpool and I'll look at it

This is uhhh from my heart filter lmao so ignore the train wreck mixing up of supports

[crude marten]

oh

i think you can go with sc steven

[low pilot]

If only I have NC Red, but that's neither here or there

[crude marten]

geeta sc steven support

[low pilot]

Hmm, not NC Rosa?

[crude marten]

rosa is fine

youre going to use rockslide mainly so zone isnt an issue

[low pilot]

Would Steven not explode halfway

From darach sync

[shrewd marten]

The first one no

Take stoic

[crude marten]

i think you can presecond sync

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/29500/97000?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFCQoNDxobHSAjKCstLw

steven adds rock rebuff, attack/def drops

[low pilot]

I honestly have no idea how to pre second sync this lmao

This is first sync for context

I'll take team stoic after this run (since I haven't changed from Bede)

But with this damage output

Pre second sync seems unlikely

[shrewd marten]

Are you sure geeta has super effective

Like

She should do damage

[low pilot]

I swear she has SE9 here

Should NC Rosa grid be like this?

This was my grid with Geeta in this run

[shrewd marten]

Friend mend bad

But if these are the grids than like I don’t know I thought geeta did fat damage

[low pilot]

I'll try out yalls grid

Vigi or Geeta's original cookie?

Or CS2?

[low pilot]

Heatwave burn tho

[shrewd marten]

Suppose but tbh just reset

Cs2

[low pilot]

Change to what then

[shrewd marten]

More option

Potion

Get the refreshes and the master heal

[shrewd marten]

Oh I forget I have +2

Well you might as well get friend mend

I paid good cash for that potion lol

[low pilot]

Well uh...

Maybe I'm not playing properly?

[rotund oasis]

was that a cleaar team?

[low pilot]

No, this was cobbled together from two clear teams

Eh, probably not good enough then

[rotund oasis]

i could try it hmm

is their move levels 3/5 for NC Rosa, 3/5 Geeta and 1/5 SC Steven i guess?

[low pilot]

Yeah

EXR NC Rosa and Geeta

[rotund oasis]

i'll try i guess

my geeta is 2/5 only 😦

[crude marten]

didnt expect this to be so far from clear

i dont have geeta exr but idt that matters

lemme try

oh wait i know why

you shouldnt use her bmove until needed to refresh pz

since sc steven already provides def down

[low pilot]

But that is what I've been doing

NCRosa first sync == PZ is finished

[stable tundra]

That definitely matters. Geeta only has 3 instances of normal duration zone

[low pilot]

Also she doesn't have poison zone extension

And NC Rosa animation is very long

Her sync is almost guaranteed to be not under zone unless I refresh PZ with bmove

[stable tundra]

imo you need another source of wtz, as well as smart move rotation on Rosa to avoid Brave Bird

[low pilot]

I've been doing the latter

The former, on the other hand

List of my limiteds and some strays

WTZ is either Morty or Akari

Or Irida?

[crude marten]

is your ssc rolex

ssac

[low pilot]

Yes

But that introduces a different issue: loss of dps

Also last time I tried that Geeta gets nuked by Darach sync crit

Though I suppose vigilance solves that issue

[stable tundra]

Vigilance is mandatory, yeah

I think Akari works best

[crude marten]

use ssac

[shrewd marten]

Oh wait u have akari?

[low pilot]

1/5

[jade marsh]

akari is really good for darach

[shrewd marten]

She literally is permanent gimmick counter

[low pilot]

But yeah

[shrewd marten]

Doesn’t matter

Still permanent

Cuz dark rocks count

You’ll eventually kill it

[low pilot]

NC Rosa + Geeta + Akari?

[shrewd marten]

I think that’ll be ok I still don’t honestly know geeta damage but I believe

[stable tundra]

Her Rock Slide is solid

Akari has good offtype dps as well

[low pilot]

Dead by next heatwave

[hearty cedar]

[shrewd marten]

Rock slide bad

Hmm idk

Listen when I get geeta

(Assuming nemona or arven or Cynthia isn’t in next datamine)

I’ll try this

[crude marten]

rosa is bad cause she just ate all the zone time

it took longer than expected cause rock slide ruins quad with flinch chance proc

[spice basin]

Once again asking for WTZ times to be based on actual turns

[obsidian meadow]

This would kill half my strats

[spice basin]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-top-gear-jeremy-clarkson-no-one-cares-gif-18925814

[low pilot]

Huh this is 1/5 Steven?

Give grid please

And cookies

[crude marten]

mine is 2/5 but didnt take any nodes

hs1 on doggo and cynthia

cynthia just take hs grid and all the potion mpr

[low pilot]

[crude marten]

save steven tm and seup until side dies

[low pilot]

Wait no HS1 on Geeta?

[crude marten]

since geeta will lose her pmyn stacking

no

[low pilot]

Aren't you losing one sync cycle then

[crude marten]

cynthia get double hs

from grid and lucky skill

[low pilot]

Oh wait

HS1 from grid

Fair enough

[crude marten]

yup

[low pilot]

Perfect quads? Does zone not end every 9 turns and ruin quad after like second sync

[crude marten]

just watch out for random flinch it might ruin quad and thats not good

i think missing a few quad later on is fine

its the first 2 sync that you need to do it right

[low pilot]

Is it worth using my HS1 guaranteed cookies for this lmao

[shrewd marten]

Well Cynthia is amazing for it

Steven um

I hear he’s good so

Meh

[crude marten]

well cynthia most of the time wants hs i think

[shrewd marten]

She can run any lucky skill really

So it’s great

Steven is well

He’s not doing anything else so

[brittle crystal]

Guys I'm trying to do the Battle challenge 2 of solving the case but its basically impossibile, any mostly f2p teams i can use to beat It? I tried this one that i saw on YouTube but that guy just one shots everyone bc he has them at 150 and 3/5

[lunar sedge]

do you have Nita/sidney/BP Morty?

[brittle crystal]

let me check

I only have sidney

[lunar sedge]

do you have any BP voucher? the gold one for 4* pairs

[brittle crystal]

nope in 200 points i will but not now :c

[marble flume]

If you can show your roster (ideally from the Move Level menu or via the tracker, which I’ll grab a link to and tutorial for shortly) it would greatly help in helping you put teams together for the missions

+tracker

[plucky swan]

[covert marlin]

do you have Bertha? she is ground, can inflict trap and lower attack, she is basically the f2p cheat code for that

[brittle crystal]

that's it only them

[brittle crystal]

nope

[covert marlin]

use NC Silver, courtney and Sidney

NC Silver as tank and just use Sidney potion to heal if needed

wait, courtney as tank

she has def buff

here, gridless and easy clear for both mission

i can't test with a weak courtney so try it first

[true lagoon]

gridless

[covert marlin]

i mean low level and non EX courtney as tank but NC Silver should mog them the same

[true lagoon]

120-> 140 shouldnt change much

non ex shouldnt either

[fading walrus]

Well for bulk 120->140 does a lot

60 hp 20ish defences

[lethal condor]

What could I use for this

[true lagoon]

bertha sidney whatever johto tank

[lethal condor]

What lvl to I put them at

[lethal condor]

Which bertha

[marble flume]

There’s only 1 Bertha

[lethal condor]

A

Sadly don’t have her currently

[marble flume]

If you have Courtney then she’d work well enough

[lethal condor]

I to what lvl to I take them and how far to I sync grind?

[shrewd marten]

Show

[lethal condor]

What to you mean?

[shrewd marten]

Units

[lethal condor]

Am doing this but whit courteny

[lethal condor]

But need to know lvl and stuuf

[earnest panther]

I'm cooking.

The problem is no 2nd rebuff

i think i got it but it's awkeard

nah nvm lmao

[shrewd marten]

Doesn’t she trap at 5:5

Ascerola

[earnest panther]

no?

she lowers attack

[shrewd marten]

Definitely impossible then

[earnest panther]

Nah, it's not. I've beaten it before, But i want to do it without masterfairs

[shrewd marten]

With that team

With accerola Brendan third ofc it’s possible

[earnest panther]

I mean, the rebuff is the biggest problem.

[lethal condor]

Dose anyone know a estimate on what I need for this to work

[earnest panther]

Usually level 120 is enough.

[shrewd marten]

You gonna do this with vigilance?

[earnest panther]

yea.

i know it can be done with NC Blue easily, but the problem is DPS is not that great with Dahlia. only like 10K a hit at max debuffs

her sync is nice, but it's water.

[lethal condor]

To I sync grind them?

[fading walrus]

I mean that's easily achievable by stalling

I almost won with 2/5 ssmorty, 1/5 oleana and 1/5 ssace

Even tho it's doable by free2play pairs anyway

Lol

[earnest panther]

I wanted to do them specifically with Dahlia tho

[earnest panther]

Of course, you would need to go into #1009587872342478908 pins for each grid specifically

There are kits set up for all of the units

[lethal condor]

Why dose is say unknown

[earnest panther]

It's the sync grid channel.

[silver spruce]

What about variety Thornton as a third? He applies restrain on hit and argenta doesn’t immediately clear it.

[lethal condor]

Sync move always one shoots absol

[silver spruce]

You have the ability to 6* Sidney?

[earnest panther]

i would honestly swap sidney with Masked royale, that battle wants you to lower or even stop stheir stat buffs.

you don't have to do both missions at once.

that's the reason why you keep losing, their stats are increased dramatically because of those stat boosts.

genuinely confused by the team comp to begin with or who even suggested that team

I even synced with Courtney since i have Ex Masked Royale @lethal condor

[silver spruce]

Yeah that’s definitely a weird team. I got it with Sidney but it’s really slow on gauge

[true lagoon]

they didnt have bertha so they tried using courtney

doesnt mid have acute senses

[silver spruce]

That’s why Sidney then. Confusion procing

[true lagoon]

how did you disable acute senses

or did you brute force it

[silver spruce]

Does he not have it I wonder?

[true lagoon]

i could be forgetting but i thought he did

[earnest panther]

he doesn't have acute senses. he has stat boosts.

[true lagoon]

was it part one i was thinking of then

[earnest panther]

you are

[true lagoon]

but sc lyra has rebuff too

so thats kinda weird

whatever ig

[earnest panther]

it's for SC Zinnia

read boss details, it wants you to stop them from buffing and lower metagross's attack

hence Masked Royale

[true lagoon]

oh wait

sidney bertha johto tank was for getting both theme missions

but yeah masked royale is better if you dont have bertha

[fossil fjord]

I wish we could see the gear used on the successful teams
There's a cheaper Irida/NC Red/NC Rosa team than the one in the docs and it somehow does more damage AND presyncs

[earnest panther]

it's most likely Skill Gears with the passives related to sync

[covert marlin]

doesn't dahlia have teether dance?

probably you will have to keep Dahlia spam Teether dance for the rest of the 50% hp left

[earnest panther]

Problem, anytime Argenta does a successdul attack, she immediately heals from confusion, but it doesn't proc resilience.

[covert marlin]

then make a cycle where Dahlia always uses her teether dance before Brendan and acerola

[shrewd marten]

Queue dahlia first all the time basically

[earnest panther]

doesn't work still.

the biggest thing is that there's not enough damage output with muddy water spdef drops and leaf storm, tried SS erika, still couldn't even get to 50% HP.

swapping out SS Acerola with SS Morty

Dang.

Yea, i can't get Dahlia to work at all in this without another source of rebuff + weather

[brittle crystal]

Thx bro i'll try, sorry if i reply only now but yesterday i had a wedding

[covert marlin]

try Sycamore spamming horn leech instead of brendan?

[brittle crystal]

I still cant complete it 😰

[brittle crystal]

I tried but It doesnt work, as soon as he uses the sync move everyone gets one shotted

[covert marlin]

who did you sync with? supposed to just sync and kill with Silver, don't even bother trying to use skills on Courtney

or Sidney

basically
Silver TM > Courney TM > Sidney brutal swing
Stone edge > Courtney TM > Sidney brutal swing
Johto circle > Courtney TM > Sidney heal courtney
Sync with Silver > Sidney brutal swing > Courtney TM
Quadqueue for Johto circle
and then normal rotation with Silver B move

[brittle crystal]

Yes with silver

I die basically One sync short of killing him

[covert marlin]

maybe you did not quadqueue then

[brittle crystal]

Idk what that is lmao

[covert marlin]

+quadqueue

[plucky swan]

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...)

[covert marlin]

either quadqueue or you put a role cake on Silver (good investment btw)

[brittle crystal]

how do i get a role cake?

[rotund oasis]

you get Cake Coin Vouchers from Battle Rally.
And collect them Daily Tickets + Cake Coins daily in Daily Region Rotation.

You can exchange a Cake Coin of your choice using 5 Daily Tickets each.

[brittle crystal]

ok i won damn finally

[brittle crystal]

thank you man, you are a pro

[brittle crystal]

how many do i need?

[rotund oasis]

You need 20 of a Cake Coin for a Cake.

[brittle crystal]

guess i gotta do the battle rally now

[rotund oasis]

good luck. you can find info on #1009564564821639379 pins

[raven nacelle]

I don't have any fire/dragon units. Is it possible by using non boosted pairs?? Need it for the them mission

[stable tundra]

The stage has Wise Entry x2 iirc, but i think Marnie can still brute force through it

[jade marsh]

^^

[stable tundra]

Do you have SS Morty?

[raven nacelle]

Yeah

[stable tundra]

So Marnie, SS Morty and Drake then

[raven nacelle]

Wait I'll shwo dragons

Oh drake free one works??

[stable tundra]

If you have Zerena, she has restrain to counter Acute Sense

[raven nacelle]

These my dragons

[raven nacelle]

Yeah I have zerena

[rotund oasis]

Zerena and SS Morty on NC Marnie's team, but she tanks xd

[raven nacelle]

What has the world come too

These the boosted units I got if it helps.

[rotund oasis]

the missions want + 1 fire and 1 draagon
The other one requires 3 galar units.

[raven nacelle]

Okay so NC Marnie tank, ssmorty heal Marnie, zerena???

[stable tundra]

Yup

[rotund oasis]

gl xD

[raven nacelle]

What does zerena do other than restrict?

[stable tundra]

NC Hop also works if you want to ignore Wise Entry x2

[raven nacelle]

No one is EX, who syncs??

[stable tundra]

Restrain is alone already worth it

[raven nacelle]

Hop instead of Marnie?

[stable tundra]

Yes

[raven nacelle]

What does wise entry do anyways?

[stable tundra]

WEx2 doubles base spdef

That's a way to nerf special dmg dealers

[raven nacelle]

Oh damn

I guess NC hop gonna be better coz he phy?

But hop don't get evasion and stuff like Marnie

[rotund oasis]

Try it first. o.o

[stable tundra]

He kills the stage faster than Marnie, tho

No need to worry about evasion, that doesn't work most of time anyway

[raven nacelle]

Well, might be possible

If opponent flinches or mises

[rotund oasis]

try NC Hop o/

[raven nacelle]

She endured this hit and died two turns later. Would've won if gauge filled faster

[raven nacelle]

Same team?

[rotund oasis]

minus NC Marnie. You're gonna have to use SS Morty to buff your team's speed and gauge.

[raven nacelle]

Should I throw in dialga instead of zygarde for free gauge?

[rotund oasis]

Zerena's in that team to use Restrain o.o

[raven nacelle]

It won't do anything but free gauge is free gauge yeah?

[raven nacelle]

But NC Hop don't need restrain??

Does he??

[rotund oasis]

NC Hop still needs restrain to deal maximum damage.

The middle one has Acute Senses

[raven nacelle]

I thought that passive only increase spec dmg

Ohh wise entry increase sp def

[rotund oasis]

yes

[raven nacelle]

What does acute sense do?

[rotund oasis]

Damage Reduction when they dont have a Status Change, like Restrain, Confusion, and whatnot.

[raven nacelle]

Okay

So basically the same team

[rotund oasis]

Its meant for Challenger Gloria who rebuffs, which is a status change.

[raven nacelle]

I'll go try hop zerena morty

[rotund oasis]

I'd give you a vid but i'd have to use my 3/5 NC Hop in there xD

and my Zerena is 3R

[raven nacelle]

What's 3R?

[rotund oasis]

EX Role'd

[raven nacelle]

Ooh. Just don't sync with Serena LOL

And don't grid Hop

[rotund oasis]

I guess. but try it with your teams first 🙂

[raven nacelle]

Okay

[covert marlin]

actually, I recommend leveling Nessa and use her
she has restrain and you have her at 4/5

so don't need Zerena and use drake for more defense

[raven nacelle]

Nessa instead of Marnie/hop?

[covert marlin]

yes, she has restrain and you have her at 4/5, she can nuke

[raven nacelle]

She worth the sync grid for just this one stage?

[rotund oasis]

but you need Dragon + Fire no?

[stable tundra]

SS Morty and Drake are Fire and Dragon

[raven nacelle]

Yeah. I think he's saying Drake, Nessa, morty

[stable tundra]

Nessa doesnt need grid, but it helps

[covert marlin]

why even care about sync orb lol
higher sync level means you can use her for any water stage

[stable tundra]

Also try not to get 2 pairs fainted. The mission requires 1 unit fainted at least

[raven nacelle]

Ohhh right I forgot about that... And how do I do that?

The sync one shots everything

[stable tundra]

With Drake you have more defense buffs to outlast the sync

Drake also disables Healthy Advantage on sides, which requires inflicting status condition

[raven nacelle]

Sync one shots the side units.

[raven nacelle]

So Drake instead of zerena?

[true lagoon]

well you dont have attack debuffs

[raven nacelle]

So what do I use?

[stable tundra]

Drake and Nessa

Grid Terrify on Drake

[raven nacelle]

Okay

I hope Nessa don't need to be gridded?

[raven nacelle]

What level for Drake? 120 works?

I'll increase Nessa to 125

[raven nacelle]

I can't find terrify on Drake...

It's supposed to be yellow tole right?

[rotund oasis]

okay got a vid for you.

oh wait. SS Morty is 1/5

Nevermind ._.

[raven nacelle]

🥲

Does Drake has terrify on grid? I can't find it.

[stone scarab]

I think its just a base passive

[rotund oasis]

https://youtu.be/P8BYHx3ey3s well here's my clear, 1/5 NC Marnie, but 3/5 Zerena ... and 3/5 SS Morty.

i didn't see your SS Morty sadly ;_;

[raven nacelle]

What does 3/5 morty do?

[rotund oasis]

let me check my grid.

[raven nacelle]

ok

how does ho-oh not get one shot?

[rotund oasis]

he sync'd so gives him Sync Damage Guard

[raven nacelle]

ooh so that's what you get from 3/5

[rotund oasis]

nah that's his base skills

[raven nacelle]

oh. okay.

So what were u running on the morty and how big of a difference did it make?

if it was just move refresh tiles then I guess it's doable for me

If not, then I'll have to try Nessa

[rotund oasis]

I was using this

you can drop the flameproof and unflappable for better stuff, but mostly sunny day mp refresh.

Sunny Disposition and Flame Charge Dashing Team 9

[raven nacelle]

okay

[rotund oasis]

i would've grabbed this so Zerena can take a hit or 2 i suppose.

[raven nacelle]

No wonder morty is so high on the list

[rotund oasis]

but well i wouldn't use candies unless you're very sure.

[raven nacelle]

I only got 2 candies

[rotund oasis]

consider your options before candying i suppose.

ask in #1217072266878124122

[raven nacelle]

yup

[rotund oasis]

xD

[raven nacelle]

Only limited support pairs I got are Morty and Red/snorlax

[rotund oasis]

honestly though, NC Marnie doesnt have to be EX, if you see the vid, Zerena dispatches the sides

[raven nacelle]

SSB is 2/5

yeah you just kept spamming zerena

[rotund oasis]

I'd do Zerena Sync -> SS Morty -> and finally NC Marnie.

[raven nacelle]

So zerena gets the first sync?

[rotund oasis]

depends on your quadqueueing i suppose.

[raven nacelle]

I can get two syncs before opponent syncs

[rotund oasis]

then possible.

[raven nacelle]

Oh you meant move order

[lethal condor]

She is synced

[rotund oasis]

the reason for that order of sync is because my Zerena is 3R xD

for you, i'd just EX SS Morty, sync with him, then sync with NC Marnie.

[raven nacelle]

How many rainbow balls do I need for EX? I don't even remember the last time I ex'd something

[rotund oasis]

Champion Spirits? 50

[covert marlin]

do this
EX Nessa and grid her (ignore cake walk and go for relentless/vigilance/restrained grid). please don't be stingy becuz she will be useful in May)
sync with Morty to have a damage shield and Nessa as tank
spam Jaw and Razor Shell, make sure Nessa crit on both of her sync and kill the middle before second enemy sync. preferably lower the HP of sides before killing middle so you don't die to AOE

Drake needs to phish for paralyze on sides for para luck and buff everything defense and sp.def

[raven nacelle]

Oh that's it?

[rotund oasis]

you'll also need 20

[raven nacelle]

I got 100 of these and 200 rainbow balls

[rotund oasis]

or converted into

[earnest panther]

Yes. I did not use Ex masked royale's sync move for this.

And i still won

All because masked royale debuffed steven's stats

[raven nacelle]

Should I just do this??

[earnest panther]

If you synced with masked royale you will easily beat this

[rotund oasis]

well gl oraaaa xD

The nessa one you can do, just EX SS Morty for the damage boost

[raven nacelle]

EX Morty?

[raven nacelle]

I got a question about this, should I only buy 5??

And use 15 of the normal ones?

[rotund oasis]

I dont remember the ratios

[raven nacelle]

oh there's a set ratio for this?

[rotund oasis]

it ddepends on some people.

[lethal condor]

I need jotho and hoenn

[raven nacelle]

10 from here 10 normal ones sounds good?

I'll still have 500 left for later

[rotund oasis]

i typically do 5 Custom Power Ups : 15 Normal Power Up

[raven nacelle]

EX morty done 👍

[raven nacelle]

Ooh okay. Too late. I already did 50=50 LOL

[rotund oasis]

nah its fine.

[raven nacelle]

What grid did u use on zerena?

[rotund oasis]

let me check

[raven nacelle]

okay

[earnest panther]

You can do it one at a time, you don't need to do both themed missions at once.

[lethal condor]

I don’t have a lot of jotho or hoenn stuuf

[rotund oasis]

Iirc this is my zerena grid. I wouldve used her ontype grid xD

[earnest panther]

You can still beat it with the roster. Show me your johto units, as well as the damage dealer you'll use.

[rotund oasis]

but being able to spam Core Enforcer multiple times is nice.

btw. my NC Marnie had Vigilance on her Lucky Skill

but you can turn it into CS2 for more damage.

[raven nacelle]

ohh

[rotund oasis]

enemy doesnt seem to have crit

[rotund oasis]

i use her a lot in battle rally, so i need the crit immunity ;-;

[raven nacelle]

I dont think I got any blue cookies left for vigilance

Yup, no blue cookies left

[rotund oasis]

it should be fine

just keep healing NC Marnie i guess

[raven nacelle]

okay

[earnest panther]

Easy, all you need is an attack debuffer

I'm already seeing SS Ethan, and SS Kris, ss Kris can be your tank, or you can have SS Ethan be your damage dealer

[lethal condor]

What attack debuffer

A I can use lucian

[earnest panther]

Perfect, let me show you

[lethal condor]

Ok

[earnest panther]

Show me your attack debuffers, Lucian won't be able to debuff fast enough

All of them, not just 5 stars

[raven nacelle]

Sooo close!!!

[earnest panther]

This is your best bet. But unfortunately, you need BP morty from the battle point shop. He's free but if you used your ticket vouchers, you're out of luck.

[lethal condor]

I have them

[earnest panther]

@lethal condor

Not drifblim, i mean Mismagius

[lethal condor]

Yeh I know

[rotund oasis]

Ohh almost there 😮

[raven nacelle]

Yeah, I was one sync off. Need faster cycle

gauge issues near the end

[earnest panther]

For grids, you need ghetsis 3/5 to get double drop on Noble roar, spam that, and make sure BP Morty has potion refresh and aggravation on astonish.

Aside from that, just focus syncing on mid with courtney. @lethal condor

[lethal condor]

What about Courtney she isn’t 3/5

[earnest panther]

Still sync with her.

Main damage is coming from your defense buffs and ground zone

Use that to your advantage and you'll win.

*courtney's innate sync multiplier comes from def buffs which morty does, defense crush comes naturally from her passives, and ground zone only use just before syncing

[lethal condor]

I’ll try it out

[true lagoon]

can silver ny wallace and nc blue do thorton

[spice basin]

defensive debuffs where

[true lagoon]

ugh

[warm haven]

5/5 Grusha

You could use DC2 with Wallace but it requires a lot rng

• deff debuff on blues grid

[short gate]

Could anyone help me build a team that's capable of winning part 2 of hear the cheers? Heres my roster (move levels accurate on limited units only)

I was originally trying SS Morty, SST Red and SS Serena

and then tried SS Serena, SS Hilda and Hop

both weren't enough

[lethal condor]

It did not work sadly

[earnest panther]

Either your units are not gridded correctly or not fully levelled.

[lethal condor]

This worked

[earnest panther]

Oh nice!

[lethal condor]

Now for ground and dark

Ty for your helpe this did dark and ground very easily

[true lagoon]

grusha for thorton sounds absolutely awful

[warm haven]

Nah it's not. You just gotta use his tm way before Thorton syncs

[short gate]

Could anyone help me please?

[short gate]

Forgot to mention that I have a super bp voucher

And am willing to use it

[obsidian meadow]

Can you filter just Galar

[rotund oasis]

Zerena 3R huh 😮

[short gate]

if you’re gonna ask about Sonia, I get 5* powerup for bea every time I go through galar ticket

yet no sonia

[short gate]

what can I say, she’s a fav

[rotund oasis]

she's nice to sync with cuz you can kill the sides with her.

[short gate]

ig, you do need to deal with healthy advantage though

[rotund oasis]

before dying to sync.

Hmm i used Zerena NC Marnie and SS Morty

[short gate]

idk who was the genius that came up with acute senses in mid and healthy advantage on sides

[rotund oasis]

Zerena takes out the sides by herself tbh.

[short gate]

I have ss morty 1/5 ex

[rotund oasis]

i think Nessa can work well enough. too bad sshe's 1/5

[short gate]

I blame rng

[rotund oasis]

I think you can uh sync twice before the opponent can sync.

with zerena the first sync + ss morty for the 2nd sync.

[short gate]

with adrenaline on hop yeah

[rotund oasis]

then you just gotta use a physical damage dealer

[short gate]

Ss morty could work as well

[rotund oasis]

to punch the mid

[short gate]

I have ss Hilda

But I tried that team before

[rotund oasis]

has to be galar

[short gate]

uh

[rotund oasis]

the damage dealer has to be galar 😮

[short gate]

well idk

Hop is a good damage dealer and support

[rotund oasis]

i used NC Marnie, but she had a good enough dps tbh.

problem is, opponent mid has Wise Entryx2

so ideally, you want someone like Nessa

[short gate]

Hm

I’ve tried quite a few teams

But my galar roster is lacking

well I can’t figure it out

I’ve been trying stuff but it ain’t working

Anyone got any ideas?

[rotund oasis]

you basically use a galar to tank.

the sides dont really do aoe damage outside of sync.

[short gate]

I tried hop, zerena and vilda

Didn’t work

[stable tundra]

Because there is no damage

Try Nessa, SS Morty and Drake

[low pilot]

yeah ngl your damage dealer needs to be galar too otherwise no damage\

[cosmic token]

Do you have NC Leaf?

[covert marlin]

this team works for the Galar VA's challenge

[shrewd marten]

It’s not exactly easy to replicate though

[covert marlin]

need to EX Nessa and Morty, but both are good so no resources wasted

[shrewd marten]

People don’t have morty is the problem

[covert marlin]

I used unflappable on Nessa even but you can just use cs2 if you can test your luck

there is the f2p clear with Gordie as well so pick your poison

[cosmic token]

3/5 Zerena and 1/5 CLeaf build.

[rotund oasis]

interesting 😮

they dont havae NC leaf though 😭

[cosmic token]

Ahhh I see.

3/5 CMarnie

[rotund oasis]

yeah i used that team as well. Grid doesnt matter with NC Marnie tbh

[cosmic token]

Yeah. Just make her the tank pretty much.

[left crow]

YES I CLEARED ANABEL

FUCK YOU OMG

[fossil fjord]

Beat Palmer with the ice team 🥳
1/5 NC Rosa and no extra grid energy on Irida or Red

[dim lance]

Broke: uses grass Dahlia to clear Argenta

Woke:

https://youtu.be/I_zNi6g433M?si=tlsFIkSduap0l5TG

[normal tide]

Need help with the Galar VA battle challenge

My available units

[forest root]

I did it with Hop, CMarnie, and CHop

Oh wait you’re talking about getting the gems my bad

Cyrus can be a pretty good nuker

[short gate]

Unfortunately not, my roster is right up ahead

Just woke up and saw the recommendations

[short gate]

Is SS morty 1/5?

[obsidian meadow]

You have NC Marnie, might be a matter of running her with an appropriate fire and dragon. Marley and Drake?

[shrewd marten]

Trap ze mid

[marble flume]

You mean Fire and Dragon, I assume

Given Drake was listed

[obsidian meadow]

oh yes sorry

[solemn bison]

@tall escarp teach me how to be better. I have 1 rei 3 rosa 3 hop and can't win

Against Palmer UB (not the BR version)

[shrewd marten]

You quad queue all the time spam Rosa song and set zone when ur boutta sync or b tri arrow

That’s it

[spiral summit]

Did you save Rei’tm for his B Move ?

[solemn bison]

Maybe that's the problem

[shrewd marten]

I never did that and I still won with ncleaf

[solemn bison]

Can you fit 2 syncs in before B Move. And do I sync with Hop both times

[spiral summit]

You can let Rei do nothing before Sync

[normal tide]

Yeah it's for the fire and dragon mission

[spiral summit]

So that you can stack PMUN for his B Move

[tall escarp]

[shrewd marten]

Ye ik now

[solemn bison]

But is Hop the sync both times

[shrewd marten]

But I did not do that

[tall escarp]

Good luck my dude

[spiral summit]

Rosa-Hop-Rei

[tall escarp]

Oh I did Rosa Hop Hop

Whatever works

[shrewd marten]

Hip is wild

Hop

You’d go rei for sprint would you not

[spiral summit]

Wait, i mean Rosa-Hop-Hop

[solemn bison]

Okay apparently I don't quad queue correctly if you get 3 syncs in by the time he does max move

[tall escarp]

Yes you need to quad queue

Turn steal with Rei B Move too

[solemn bison]

I thought flinch didn't work against Palmer or the sides

[shrewd marten]

Well I guess u can get hop hop cuz turn denial

But when I did with leaf

I sprinted hard

[spiral summit]

Nah, Rei can kill side with his B Move

But you’ll need random Atk Buff from Rosa and PMUN

[tall escarp]

10 PMUN CS2 B Move after support sync kills sides

[shrewd marten]

My Brain melt

Some reason no think or it

Spent hours as a result

Very sad

[tall escarp]

I didn't need atk buff from mei

Uh, rosa

Could be dmg roll idk

[shrewd marten]

No way u need

I have ncleaf

Barely clesr

Chop had 2x damage

[tall escarp]

Real

[solemn bison]

Do I need to NOT use anything on Rosa that takes time

[shrewd marten]

No

Just time chop

[spiral summit]

Yeah, Rei doesn’t need +2 atk from Rosa

[shrewd marten]

Chop has rights in this fight

[spiral summit]

I should use Hop’Tm instead of the kick

[shrewd marten]

Ncleaf does not

[spiral summit]

So i can use his B Move

[tall escarp]

Real

[shrewd marten]

A real champion time that one

[shrewd marten]

Bro is this rei 1/5

Could I have done this the entire time

:rowletspook:

[spiral summit]

No grid

No gear

[shrewd marten]

You’ve gotta be KIDDING ME

[spiral summit]

Only CS2

[shrewd marten]

I SUFFERED FOR NOTHING

[tall escarp]

Used 1/5 Rei and did the same

He's goated

In fact Pykuo further gimped themselves and only got 9 PMUN

Rei is so real

[spiral summit]

He can reach +10 if i use Rosa’tm

[tall escarp]

Yes

I did it to 10 PMUN

[spiral summit]

But i want to save that for later

[shrewd marten]

Bruhhhhhju

I’m furious

[tall escarp]

Furious Brain? Nice

[shrewd marten]

So easy to turn deny l

Why did I not do this

Yes furious Brain

Me at all times

[tall escarp]

Unreal

[spiral summit]

Yes, this is not Dojo Gloria

I saw so many people use Rei’s and used his move right away

[shrewd marten]

Yes that’s me

How do you do

[spiral summit]

I rather save PUMN and SEUN for his B Move

[shrewd marten]

The big thing is the seun

Cuz Rosa dilutes pmun

But the seun is onetime deal

[spiral summit]

Yes, waste it is bad

[tall escarp]

Real

[spiral summit]

[tall escarp]

Anyways straight forward fight

[shrewd marten]

I’m beating my past self up wow what’s new

That’s crazy

[tall escarp]

Good luck my friend

If you're able to clear it, remember that Paris helped you

[shrewd marten]

Spread my social media accounts

[tall escarp]

And if you're unable to clear it, my name is Pykuo

[shrewd marten]

That’s WILD

[spiral summit]

Love this, let your Support die so that you can queue 2 move

[shrewd marten]

I actually kept Rosa alive

For the pmun

Also pykuo fraud no zone for sync

[spiral summit]

Yes, i only want to do this

[shrewd marten]

Rei has rights

[spiral summit]

The other one i apply this is NC Nate and Rei

Queue 2 B Move

Funny that this is just barely kill Palmer

[shrewd marten]

Why did you switch the language

[spiral summit]

[shrewd marten]

That’s CRAZY

You don’t like Nate va or it was just the above Pokémon

[spiral summit]

Nah, i just change voice like every 2-3 months

[shrewd marten]

Minutes clearly

[crude marten]

you could delete him in 3 moves

with this team

actually 4 with rosa sync

[covert marlin]

use NC Hop (grid for unflappable, healing in zone, sharp entry and inertia), Blaine and Drake, you tank with Hop

i think Hop can kill with two syncs just fine so remember to lower side's HP

[left crow]

I jusr realized my Anabel team isn't in the video recommendations so i can make an entry

Problem is idk if i can recreate it

[covert marlin]

what units you used?

[covert marlin]

look like a variation of Cerena team, just replace NC Blue with Mina

[left crow]

Yeah still an entry is an entry

[shrewd marten]

I mean

[left crow]

I also cleared darach but I can't recreate it as well

[shrewd marten]

That shouldn’t be hard at all

[left crow]

Maybe if im not recording, yeah

But recording makes me anxious lmao

Lmao

Seems i used the same team for darach

[thin canyon]

would a team of nc rosa geeta and ss roxie be able to work against thorton UB assuming everyone is 3/5 role ex?

[fast pendant]

for sure

[stone scarab]

that should do fine yeah

[left crow]

What does thorton require? Weather?

[fast pendant]

special dmg 1st "half", physical 2nd

debuff defense

[stone scarab]

status change, has friend care and resiliance to cure the traditional ones

[left crow]

Why won't ss hilda work

[stone scarab]

she is squishy

[fast pendant]

she does work to an extent

[vivid elbow]

I am trying to use ss mina, nc Serena, and nc blue to beat Annabel but I cannot do it. Any suggestions?

[left crow]

How about anNI

[stone scarab]

and she dies to the sync if you dont debuff defense

[fast pendant]

just not a solo carry

[fast pendant]

remove blue and add some other water unit that helps to add dmg

[stone scarab]

May would work well in Blues spot

or even in Minas

[vivid elbow]

These are the water types I have

So either swap out blue or Mina then?

[fast pendant]

are you keeping mina's 2nd rain for after they sync?

[vivid elbow]

Yes I am

[fast pendant]

Lysandre or May instead of blue

[left crow]

Yeah there's a clear using ss mina, may and nc serena

[fast pendant]

would help if your units are exed, it improves their survivability and supp ex would help from mina

[left crow]

Can you kill Anabel?

[vivid elbow]

Unfortunately I cannot ex Mina yet because I don’t have enough power ups yet

No I cannot

[left crow]

Ah I see, was gonna say reserve Mina's tm for later

[fast pendant]

do you get close?

[vivid elbow]

Which tm?

Yes I do

About an 1/8

[fast pendant]

sounds like May would work then

you'll have rain up more

[vivid elbow]

May instead of blue?

[fast pendant]

yes

[stone scarab]

I would say replace Mina for May in that case, Serena, May, Blue is a proven team to work as well

[vivid elbow]

Thank you for all the advice!

[tribal swallow]

Can anyone help with Solve the Case Pt 2 Challenge 2 dark+ground mission? These are my dark and ground units, as well as my usual high tier DPS

I do have the resources to level a few characters to 140 but I don’t want to do so blindly, so I’d like some advice first

[lunar sedge]

Bertha/MR/SS Acerola should be good enough

[tribal swallow]

What’s MR

[lunar sedge]

Masked Royal and Incineroar

[tribal swallow]

who would be DPS?

[lunar sedge]

MR

Sidney can also work

Since he has faster set up

Tested him with 2/5 grid and did just fine

[tribal swallow]

I beat it! thank you!

[tropic mango]

any ideas for solve the case pt 2 hoenn/johto?

[short gate]

Tried this (nessa wasn’t working very well), to no avail

1 sync and everyone dies

[shrewd marten]

How bout lower its attack

[short gate]

?

I use razor shell yeah

[tropic mango]

nvm on this! i got it with roxanne ssmorty and sst red

[short gate]

I mean this team worked for me but I wanted with fire and dragon

So I could get the 100 gems

[shrewd marten]

Then try to presync with ncrosa just murder it really hard

[short gate]

so what would the team even be

Nc rosa ss Hilda and ss serena

[shrewd marten]

Shore

[short gate]

Sst red no

[shrewd marten]

Blitz the fck out of it

[short gate]

Since no dragon and fire

[short gate]

I don’t know about this…

I can try

Can confirm it did not work

not enough gauge

[shrewd marten]

Where the resilience

Did u sleep the enemy

Also if you use Rosa tm you get speed and also she has recharging strike I believ

[short gate]

What

Let me send you my grid

For nc rosa

[shrewd marten]

Ditch curative confusion and easy pickings

[short gate]

For this?

[shrewd marten]

I’d gauge is that big a problem yeah

[short gate]

Confusion is necessary when Zerena has restrain?

[shrewd marten]

What

[short gate]

Resilience is for confusion immunity yeah?

actually idrk so

[shrewd marten]

Any

Including sleep

Sleep gives turns

[short gate]

Ik ik

But I can’t sleep twice can I?

[shrewd marten]

Don’t have to

[short gate]

Only once can I put to sleep no?

[shrewd marten]

You just want to get to sshilda sync basically

After sync with Rosa and zerena

[short gate]

3 syncs??

I wonder if I can pull that

[shrewd marten]

I think 3 more vcreates would be enough

[short gate]

Alright

[short gate]

Did that, what now?

Is there something else I gotta put in place of them?

[shrewd marten]

You go up for the recharging top left if you really need the bar, get accuracy(get troublemaker lucky skill) and then if you can squeeze ode to glory stuff smun/pmun try to get that

[short gate]

troublemaker really necessary if I can just use sing?

[shrewd marten]

Technically no

But you might miss

[short gate]

Anyway I can get +1 energy here?

For the ode to glory mpr

[shrewd marten]

I think that’s good enough

Also the thing on the left is accuracy

For sing

[short gate]

Alright so I’ve done attempts

Doesn’t work that well

Want me to screenshare?

[fast pendant]

Any reason you're not using galar units?

[stone scarab]

Fire and Dragon mission presumably, idk why Rosa over a galar character though

[shrewd marten]

Those things ain’t dying fast enough so I figured why not just blitz clear it

Doesn’t seem to be working tho

I may be overestimating hilda damage

[stone scarab]

Considering the fact that the fight is intended for characters who are 5x stronger than normal, using an off region damage dealer is difficult at best for it

Its like offregioning an EBE effectively

[shrewd marten]

Well ye I know das what im doin

But considering they usin nessa they prolly don’t have any galar hard carry units

[fading walrus]

https://vxtwitter.com/penmsex/status/1771921174785876083?t=squMitIv6blFCu8ZjObtlQ&s=19

[short gate]

That’s right

It’s one of my weak points in my roster
