#Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

Giovanni doesn't seem to be able to boost his stats without syncs
If Giovanni worked like Nita, then he's literally the worst
I CALLED THIS
Not random. 5 stats prob means atk, spatk, def, spdef & spe like in CS.
amongus also works, only for debuffing hmm.
Dragapult? Ew, you mean SS Leon?
that's a lot
i guess
They really want you to use SC Zinnia to nuke him down
How many stats does he debuff?
I think he's easier to counter than Nita
Asking for curiosity
ATK and SP.ATK and Eva iirc.
Oh wait he DOES AoE debuff and I have him at 3/5...
Discombobulate 9 + Ripple Effect + Double Drop
Nita is also incredibly bulky sides
Giovanni has these:
Move 4: You’re in Trouble Now! (Uses 1)
Move 5: The Ultimate Power! (Uses 1)
I assume they are TMs he uses before and after sync ? Do we know what they buff?
HAHAHA, what does discomb do again?drop acc?
ye
Yes, accuracy drop
So it's atk spatk and accuracy the stats he drops, or just accuracy?
Just accuracy
This battle screams SC Zinnia
accuracy drop can always be countered by that cookie that prevents accuracy drops
if the ub doesn't show any resistances or reseliance in mine it means enemy is immune
Or units that ignore it entirely
it has resilience
Downside up moment
No offense meant but designing an ultimate battle for a seasonal is kinda 
Well, it's also meant for a pokefair, but mostly for the seasonal
SS Korriba can do it too
DPS or sync nuker?
is there any cookie that lowers enemy attack ? similar to DC2 or MG2
he should be debuffable enough
ok not immune
I think i'll do NC Blue, Ball Guy and Ash o.o
NC Blue has Impervious, SST Red has Piercing Gaze, and they both debuff all the stats he can raise, so I think I'm safe?
NC Blue does have Impervious and Overwhelm + Satisfied Snicker, so he easily counters some of Gio's gimmicks
Does he have Endurance?
UB Giovanni
@snow spruce can you please send pics of stats, tms and passives. I can't open the link
Ew two endurance
is that the second most ub hp ever?
With every hit they do
Ss glad might be able to reflect then
Each hit contains a Discombobulate 9 + Double Drop
they aoe debuff right?
Any debuffs other than acc?
The sides have Swift
he is definitely not that bad with the right units (like NC Blue + Akari or something).
I'm mostly wondering which of the teams that have done 9 UBs, can do him also
That's it
mind games ss hau, ss glad and who else can handle attack and defence debuffs?
Though there's the 10% chance from Psychic 
I think ss glad easily handles special attack and hau can handle debuffing speed and sp def
oh right
You need to debuff both offensive stats
can oyu paralyze them?
I was wondering who can debuff attack
does the enemy have anything offensive if stats are not up?
I don't unfortunately
ss hau and ss glad handle everything except attack and defense
@valid raft does gio require lowered def
They have offensive stat buffs for every action they do, and they have multipliers along with it
No, just the offensive stats
And that's where I come in! I suggest you to pull for SS Nemona, it's not a bad idea to pull for masterfairs, she could probably clear
🥰
/j
oh just offensive stats?
Yes
so each attack they buff attack and sp def by how much?
They only buff the offensive stats and by 1 for each action
oh, hmmmmm let me check if I have anything good for attack debuffing
Any high bp moves btw?
Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Psychic, Psystrike, Earthquake, Mega Kick
ehh
wait dawntera
oh they have Earthquake .-.;
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Giovanni buffs 5 stats to his team after he syncs
By 2
I feel like sides arent a big issue - they only have 100k HP.
For giovanni you just need a field effect the entire fight and ideally debuff both his atk and spatk. Thats it
Well, if you let him sync, you also have to worry about the Def., Sp. Def. and accuracy buff he has
accuracy buff ss glad deals with
sp def I can ss hau mind games for
Mind Games with who?
defense dc2...?
Then you just need to worry about the defense and attack buffs
grusha won't be enough debuffing right?
You need an AoE debuffer
his main multipliers to worry about are IMO
Passive 14: Sharpened Body 9
Passive 15: Sharpened Mind 9
Passive 16: Brawn Sync 9
Passive 17: Brain Sync 9
Rising tide take 18 buffs to max out, he wont get there
The sides with hit hard like hell if you let them buff
Well, after syncing, there's a passive that makes Rising Tide faster
Unless you also have a check on those stats as well
But he also wont live to the second sync to make use of it (shouldnt)
UB Giovanni have these TMs, looks like Haze is pretty much needed
sides will die quickly enough
And yeah, forgetting to mention about the TMs
wut ..
oh god the flashbacks
Giovanni's TM has crit and evasion
I just remembered where these tms are from
Along with Discombobulate 9 + Double Drop
the co op event
Raise 12 stat ranks lol.
Right side has X Defense All+ for 3 and left side has X Sp. Def. All+
Thers no way THOSE TMs would be in an UB, right ?
when does he clicks these?
Idk
they have existed before and haven't been changed
We'll find out soon
Maybe right before 2nd sync .
@snow spruce were you there during the earliest poma days
Nita uses her personal TM at that time.
What do we know about the upcoming Giovonni UB?
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
I just know that we most likely need some form of stat reducer like haze
Giovanni is practically Anabel + Thorton v2.0
it's death if you let him use tm
It's death if you let him buff in general
Could ss glad + hau kill him before second sync?
you cant counter those TMs without Haze or SC Zinnia buff blocking
his tm kills you even if you don't let him buff unless you use buff block or haze
Sharpened Body and Brawn Sync will kill you
I can fill in last slot to lower attack and def
Then who lowers accuracy?
Oh wait
ss glad

SS Nemona it is then
back in my day that tm insta killed us if we didn't use Brycen or grimsley
a Brawn sync 9 sync is probably still survivable if you are at near full HP + not taking SE damage + maxed out defences
Brawn sync 9 passive is based on Atk buffs, but his sync itself is still Special - it will get reduced by SpAtk debuffing
Yeah, but it's also affected by Rising Tide
So if you freeze/sleep/flinch that will trigger the TM which you do not want to happen right?
And also not forgetting about the stat drop mitigations too
Well if he only uses his TMs after first sync then the first sync should not be THAT bad .. and then you kill him before second sync
How much hp did Anabel had?
920k+
I wonder about that actually. if it does then he is effectively immune to flinch/freeze anyway, as you dont want him to use TM
Psystrike also scales on defense, so you really need to debuff his defense too
Time for SC Zinnia/Fall Roxanne
And it's physical too(?)
psystrike is special, its just based on your defence instead of your spdef
his only physical move is EQ
And it will hurt a ton if you don't put his attack to 0
Especially since Gio gains increased stats after mega
hopefully his tm is after second sync only
do the sides have anyway to buff his Atk or Spatk? I see they can do def and spdef buffs, but what about atk/spatk ?
If not - that means those crazy TMs are the ONLY way he can buff his atk/spatk ?
forcing it early is good actually so he can't revert your debuffs later
?psystrike hits your def
oh yes andh e also has "S-Move: Team 5 Stats ↑ 2"
forgot .. but thats after sync
he buffs attack special attack every attack
looks like a job for 🔵
I will try to find some time to borrow a PC and update the doc
the sides do that, not him .. they have
Passive 14: Group Pep Talk 9
Passive 15: Group Morale Boost 9
But yeah, there is no way to prevent those I guess
Dont forget you also need a field effect (that affects the enemy) the ENTIRE fight for this too
ss hau handles that
Zone not enough then?
Cause zone affects enemies moves too
of course zone is enough
Akari is better - her dark damage field is effectively infinite, even t 1/5
Yeah I guess that's true, but no aoe sucks since no ex r either
I am getting first co op event flashbacks
NC Marnie does nothing in this UB
except SE damage
at least she has big enough damage to burst down gio
and protect to absorb a powerful attack
why is that Mewtwo so fat
its essentially made for Akari + SC Zinnia combo
or poison comp
I am gonna cope that he only uses his TMs right before 2-nd sync. That gives you time
Otherwise its too fucked up to try and deal with that without haze/SC Zinnia (maybe Oleana can do it..)
Still no idea on gios stats?
Tbf NC Marnie is a plain striker with some flinch. I really don't know what can make for her to counter.
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
On mobile I’m not crashing my phone but thanks
but nc marnie looks not that good if you dont debuff the stats with the other pairs
I wonder if Arven + Akari + SS Misty could do it...
big damage to burst down
Marnie aint bursting down no 800k HP. And she is more AoE than ST anyway
Arven didn’t look like he had enough recovery for the team as I recall to really tank much
Can calem do anything here
It’ll depend on how much aoe Gio does
can someone summarise ub gio in a nutshell?
yeah calem + cerena could clear gio just like they did with anable
Arven ain't gonna be able to tank this. Ss Misty will require a lot of haze mprs if you wanna tank with that team
eq but he clicks giga and hyper
Calem + Cerena will kinda struggle here I think, though maybe its doable
if , wtz or damage field isn't up, YOU ARE FUCKED. If enemy has attacking stats raised, YOU ARE FUCKED. Especially if enemy syncs. Drops your acc aoe by 2 every attack. If he has too many stats raised, YOU ARE FUCKED. If you let him get to second sync without having buff block, haze or snatch, YOU DIE.
he has 800k hp with double endure
and sides raise his attacking stats every attack
he raises his defenses and eva every attack
Nita single handedly stopping most units to have the title of clearing them all
he raises all main stats every attack
they beat anabel who has higher atk and the same debuff gimmick
He is literally Anabel but more brutal
nah
I think this is definitely harder harder than leon at least
How many times will he boost himself? Maybe its time for og grimsley to come out 
Gio would be easy if it wasnt for his +12 boosting tm like common
eh, Anabel was even fatter and also hits like a truck
anabel has double of gio atk stat and ask rain on top of the debuff gimmick
she has more hp
they wanted to give us the trauma again
Anabel has 900k Hp, but only 1 endure, and Cerena can actually nuke Anabel
and you technically dont need to debuff gio
I can not stand reseting for Haze MPR
Seems like I'm gonna have to spam leer 6 times
Could cerena do gio?
Probably
gamble harder
Gio have 800k but 2 Endure, and raise 24 stat with TM so maybe Cerena cant nuke
not enough time to leer 6 times if gio clicks tm before second sync
Ss mina + c.serena + ludicolo should be fine
And her Dark Form just worse than Water
isn't it 26?
+2 eva
this is way worse than Anabel.
Also cerena is better at Water than at Dark
I really dislike that they made it fat with 2 endures
More bs i guess
Water shuriken spam + dark nuke
Noland was very fair and balanced because he wasn't fat

even with double endure
Still lost a lot of dps
at least the sides here are only 100k hp
You just lose 4 more debuff, lower dmg than Water
My stupidity will probably make me use nate + c.serena combo om gio 
Cerena has to spend 1 turn just to use Brutal Swing so she can change her sync to Dark again
every time
Try to flinch them turn 1. He's not flinch immune
Not a big deal
I did that against thorton
Switching between dark and water i mean
And my secondary dmg dealer was nate
Switch to water for dps and nuke
yeah her Powerplay requires -18 debuffs to max out or something
Nuke with dark
-4 Debuff, lose dmg, need supp that helps her +4 atk
Who knows, maybe I'm oversimplifying things
Fall Roxanne, invert the stats and choose that stat block node in grid
also her debuffs are random - what if they dont debuff Atk/SpAtk
Calem is a poor tank, he cant afford to take Brawn/Brain 9 multipliers
Flinch turn 1 and then spam shuriken. Would have required amount of debuffs in like 4 turns and then switch to dark for nuke
We aint ever using calem as a tank in ubs lol
Calem would die in an instant
only in like lucy
You know even again Anabel, Serena cant fully debuff her right ?
Honestly if it was just the TM i think it would be a normal UB
Imagine using Calem …… unless you want to presync

honestly having a TM that just gives you apple cup effects would be interesting, i kinda wish they did it here for Gio and stopped there with the special effects
then they just fucking had to add the effects to buff stats each move AND drop accuracy
Calem tank is decent in palmer ub but thats about it
I used Calem as a main tank again Anabel
You had dahlia?
And let him died on purpose
Lol
I'm glad that I pulled nc.serena in a clutch after hitting pity on nc.calem. I'd have regretted going for him first
Yup, need her to deal with side mon
dew it
I would if I had ss mina lol
Nc.bianca's stunning may come in handy
hopefully it's pre second sync
not 1st
We'll be safe if gio uses his tm just before or post 2nd sync
How do we know when he uses them ?
800k hp is fat with 2 endures but he should be beatable with more comps if he uses his sync pre 2nd sync
They're move 4 and 5
move 4 and 5 usually means later like before 2nd sync from what I can tell
But that can still be right before FIRST sync .. or no?
If its before first sync then I just dont see how its doable without Haze/SC Zinnia
That generally means post-sync, it can change based on if you use stuns, possibly
Move 4 and 5 means 1st and 2nd moves of gio after sync 1
Gio is someone you preferably take before Sync
Who decided +12 smh. Probably the nita ub designer again
789k hp with 2 endures tho
Unlike most Mega enemies
800K HP with double endures before sync ? Unlikely offtype
Not having akari would bite us in the back it seems
Yeah, off-type it'll be near impossible
Dark dmg field will chip him very well
Possibly Ice can do it, although I'm a bit worried on Chase tanking
But then it's mostly Dark who can probably go for a pre-sync
3/5 marnie and 3/5 cyrus are probably not enough
??
Gonna need their flinches/stuns thats for sure
if he actually spends 1 or 2 turns using his TM after first sync - that gives you more time to kill him before he actually attacks
with Cynthia/Blue you are likely to survive the first sync
So maybe Ice can kill him in ~7-9 turns
Both offenses get to nearly 3k
Goes from 2496 to 2880
He doesnt get any def and sp.def boost if he has stat boosts right?
why.
3k is a lot, but its still a lot lower than Anabel had (almost 4.5k)
Mega
no , only in no wtz does he get big def boost
most mega enemies don't get that much
what comps look like they could do gio so far
poison?
So him having stat buffs is just gonna destroy us. It doesnt matter "IF" we can survive huh
electric and ice
I do believe in fall roxanne
Isnt this our 1st mega ub?
true
Guys, be glad he didnt get his signature passive head start 6
oh god
Most Megas don't even get stat boosts
that would be awful lol
Idt anyone in CS, when they Mega Evolve, actually get better stats
5yr anni special is sharing the trauma from giovanni that the beginners had with the newbies
...
Istg if that's the reason they made this ub
so the older players could share the back in the day co op trauma
I guess the real treasure is the trauma we shared with others along the way
at least this ub isn't co op
If og grimsley clears this ub somehow then everyone in the game should worship him 
No one
Some get new passives tho
Are ya all getting flashbacks from 5 years ago
Its kinda dumb if you flinch/freeze Gio and because of that he immediately does his +12 TM on turn 1-2 .. that shouldnt be allowed to happen
I hope
Can we talk about how it's the 3rd UB in a row with ground moves lol
They love EQ
It would be funny if they punished you by making him click tm right before sync if you interrupt him
well EQ is very popular move
they don't want the rats infesting the clear
whyyy, it hurts my ss hau

Before Rats, Rock Slide was the most popular one
Yes sir
I remember those days
getting mad at someone for clicking haze early
unironically
ball guy is gonna be godly here
clear smong can't miss
That wasnt even the worst part. The worst part was that we needed to win multiple times to grind for all the rewards
rats + zapdos should be able to do this as long as the TM isnt used until turn 7-8 or so. But that also goes for most of the offtype teams
It kinda feels like this is another Palmer 2.0 dps race lol - the race to kill before TM gets used + the fully buffed attack after that (except if you have Haze/SC Zinnia .. then you get more time)
so gio can't evade it or make us miss by lowering our acc
except this time enemy is fatter in exchange for killing slower
Why is Giovanni so fat.
Maybe, just maybe, we can with morty + leaf + ss misty
Well, the core is more Red + Blue here
He has given up on diets
You still have a flex slot
could Ash burst down the last endure?
Yes
so gio doesn't get to one shot tm
He could
Preferably if Gio already gets to endure range that early + Earthquake puts Ash in range for SMUN
poison could probably do it right
Oleana sweeps
Is this the end for the Ice team-Chase comp?
That's what I mentioned, EQ is the modt worrying part it to me
pretty sure ice has pre synced Anabel before
And the Sp. Def buffs are a tad annoying
I did do that, yes
The only non-pre synced UBs were Noland and Argenta
huh,argenta?
Even Thorton was despite the special damage nerf
Noland I get because lmao sync spam
early UBs didnt have double endure
Can't do an early sync with Red
fair
Since you need the second rebuff
ice should have enough wtz for gio
the issue is surviving the 120% eq right?
idt ice chase debuffs attack
@low coral do you have any screenshot/videos of Ice team+Chase clears for Thorton & Argenta ? I still havent found those
Thorton was at in-game replays at one point, but idt have screenshots
I can do it later myself
Idk if I'll pre-sync Thorton since the rotation is pretty tight
But I can win for sure
alright if/when you do - put em on YT.
I just need any kill, not pre-sync
It'll be post unless you stun him
why does he have 2 almost identical TMs with different names ? both do +12
The Ultimate Power! Is AoE
is it possible that Reds 100% freeze will make him use the TM very early (like turn 1-3) ?
Because that would make it unbeatable for Ice team lol
... unless you paralyze him first (Blue, Cynthia, Chase all can do it) to block the freeze? (status doesnt stack)
NC reds*
Possible, depends on how the AI behaves
Stunning is probably worth it still
Since that's how you'll more easily aim at a pre-sync
I honestly dont think near 800k HP with double endure is possible to pre-sync on Offype at all. But we'll see
I’ll just go with a normal clear considering dark is among my weakest types
Won’t force anything fancy to Gio’s UB
wdym by normal clear
Not going to find silly ways of doing it etc
Just gotta go with what can do it easier and move on to the next one
what comp
What do we think about new Nemona ?
better or worse than SS Gladion?
I think Gladion's better
Nemona having Extend Range is nice, but Gladion's damage is much more sustainable
I think Fairy will struggle
they certainly have enough wtz but no defensive debuffs
Not enough debuffs
I wonder when gio uses sure crit all
Crit or not you will die
That's +2 crit AoE
Gio UB comes out - secretly it had Headstart 3 
....
Mega turn 1 

.....
wonder if NC Cheren - Anni Skyla - SS Mina team can do Gio UB.
its kinda a ~solo dps team, since Skyla just debuffs. Might be hard to kill him quickly
what are the debuffs other than speed
Disarm 9 + Unfortuitous 9
Not nearly enough if you can't get a fast KO on Gio, probably
Gosh I really do not like how far down fierce entry is
If you're getting down there, it's probably more so for Sync Burst
Get Attack with your support
The problem is I'll be bringing NC Blue and SS Cyrus
Is there a support that could finish up the last +2 atk and help debuff offensive stats?
what do you want SS Cyrus for when Akari already has both dark field and dark zone?
you are probably better off with a Haze support (maybe even replacing NC Blue)
sc zinnia x attack all stonks
I feel like normal debuffing might be bait here.
You either just unga bunga, tank, pray and kill before he uses TM .. or if you cant - then you HAVE to Haze because regular debuffing cannot deal with these TMs
oh btw Summer Hildas Topsy Turvy is GODLIKE here
problem with that, she's psychic weak
So I don’t have sc zinna or nc blue…but I have 3/5 akari
Im not sure if akari can dish out enough damage wirh like incin
Or survive
Ik giovanni buffs a lot but I’m not sure who to use to counter it
Ib4 my og Karen
Brycen haze is gonna destroy giovanni
Yeah but how do you get pass all the debuffs from giovanni? Like akari is going to get her attack lowered over and over again right?
while there is debuffs so far i've only seen people talk about the accuracy debuff
Giovanni doesnt debuff anything i think (?)
his sides only debuffs accuracy
you have to debuff giovanni
he doesnt debuff you
I fell like the main issue is going to be finding a support who instantly doesn’t explode to gio
I just got louge gio so I can use haze with a support but…
He might just blow up
I can use either incin or og Karen as another damage dealer/debuffer and akari can do damage
Gios damage is manageable until he uses his TM, even if you can only debuff either atk or spatk (1 of 2).. preferably spatk
if you can debuff both then even better
if you cant debuff either then its bad
after he uses TM - then its hell
So…og Karen with akari but then the issue might become the “everyone wants sync” problem
Does gio use shadow ball? Because nc bede is the only “broken” support I have at 3/5
No, he doesn’t have it
Gio UB will probably get trivialized by one of the anni pairs kek
Ib4 aresus is og gladion but broken
He has Ice Beam (1 use), EQ and Psystrike
So yeah maybe I can try akari + og Karen or akari + incin
Actually
I can use champion iris if I wanted to but she’s only 1/5
Or bt leon too for dragon darts dps after the sides die
Hmm
Those teams are probably too weak tbh
even og Karen
Oh dang
Akari is real good here though
Yeah see the issue is I don’t have a good 3rd for akari, I don’t got sc zinna (though I want her)
I’m assuming no Sidney?
No i have Sidney, ex’d too but then I’d have no debuffs
Since I’m without nc blue as well
Nc Marnie time I guess? I’ll need to have a debuffer too
Marnie along won't be enough
Debuffer and someone for field effect
I assume the field effect here only counts damage field? Or is it any type of it
As long as the field directly affects Giovanni
Anabel's EBE has everyone's favorite gimmick
She's gonna keep debuffing accuracy
Also Wise Entry x3, summons Hail, and has 173.9k HP (more than Piers)
I hate it here.
And boosted pairs are paldea and fairy?
Yes, both
Oh boy gio is gonna be he'll isn't he
Yes
It doesn't need to be Impervious, just something that lets you always hit
Sure hit moves, Piercing Gaze, etc.
Conveniently SC Zinnias tm also has stat reduction shield
Yeah
This is probably gonna be hell for me
Problem: hes not gonna be boosted
Psychic Terrain summoner vs Mega Mewtwo Y 
Well, you’re forbidden from syncing with him at least
But he should be a strong Marnie partner
Yes 
what are the 2 ebes' (not the ub) niche?
do we know what the boosts the EBE have
Paldea and Fairy
Wut we talking?
anabel EBE, for SS Nemona
WE x3, hail and 174k HP. Now this is fun
And accuracy debuffs
As if the rats would care about it
They kinda do care about Hail
Yeah, time to bring in SS Morty then
What does hail boost for Anabel?
I guess BP Valerie doesn't exist for you
Forget she exists
It’s like special steel
And special rock
Oh god that’s right
time to slap acuity on NY Lisia
Best being lodge Steven and aerodsctyl
Tate erasure
?
70% DPS and sync
Don’t know how in the world I’m going to do this other than like
Put acuity on og mina
*valrie
Can’t type
Mina has impervious anyways
Oh
How many times does Anabel debuff accuracy?
She's literally the #1 F2P unit for Hau's EB
Great where else has she been good
Gauntlet
Other Alola boosted levels 
My issue with nemona even tho I like her (I got screwed out of ss gladion) is that I’m better for special, I need better fairy dps but I’d prefer special because I have penny and bede
Who are both better with special
Alola has better f2p for most stages
So idk if I wanna pull
Sycamore and BP Valerie would ball especially with Sycamore having Impervious
Just need a weather setter now
Is it fairy and paldea?
And the only boosted one is SS Mina
My ss acerola on their way to buff sycamore’s horn leech
yes
There's literally 0 Paldea units besides SS Nemona that replaces the weather
Probs sets it on sync again
Reminds me of Looker's EBE when SS Steven first came
He was awful without downside up
Jasmine carried hard back then
it's the second revamp of this specific acc debuff gimmick on a EBE lol
Time to pull out Geeta
Funny how it's another accuracy-debuffing-focused gimmick for another anni run up MF pair
Literally 3 of them
You 4 for 4 on the 5.5 anni
Does anyone have the pastebin for the EB?
I'm gonna write the rotation as soon as possible
Oh yeah what are Giovanni's TMs lmao
His own and something called "The Ultimate Power!"
He doesn't have the playable TM
Yeah it's not his own
Courtesy of the coop battles
Or just draw on SS Nemona banner! EZ! /j
ok
The Ultimate Power is the most threatening one
At least extreme battle isn't as obnoxious as some ultimate
Ball Guy Clear Smog gaming
You're In Trouble Now is also annoying due to Sp. Def, but I think it's worse because it throws away your progress on debuffing his offenses too
Like Nita removing all debuffs and using X Speed All right after sync
I'm currently running on the copium that they'll have reduced effects since Anabel's Initial Injured Ferocity is different than Lance's grid tile one
That's not how it works
Initial Injured Ferocity actually has a number depending on the language
Including japanese
Anabel's 1, Lance's 6
They're different passives
Fairy is also boosted for the new EBE? And you need a physical attacker ? and you need to replace Hail?
I'll be fine then with NY Lisia + SS Mina
Trainer Moves are unique, they don't have levels
how many EBEs are there this month ? one or two?
Two, one for SS Nemona and one for NC Galar
Where's the pastebin at?
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Yes
Also, let's see how this F2P team works for Nemona's EB
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=013601071600&s0=5&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggaHB8hIyQlJyotLjAz&v1=015700030300&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkKCwwODxEUFxgbKCs&v2=015400045001&s2=5&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=24010601&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhAVFhkjJScqLQ
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
cool i can pretty much use the same team from my old vid
Also, I think SS Gladion can still pre-sync Nemona
I could try it
This was the easiest one yet
I like my chances better than trying to figure something out with 1/5 NY Lisia or BP Valerie tbh
NY Lisia EXed should trash this EBE even at 1/5, no ? SE damage, full stat boost etc.
Accuracy issues.
theres a cookie that stops accuracy debuffs
Sure, still dealing with 90%
Who's your weather replacer?
Probably just SS Morty
what are the things to look out for for ub gio?
im sorry +12 what?
It's a TM from the old co-op days apparently
thats the million dollar question .. but probably between 1-st and 2-nd sync
huh?
what specifically did it do back then
2 or 4? I kinda remember every galar bird had his own EBE
Yup so it’s 4, I still remember the chunky fighting weak obstagoon
And the dark weak gengar (?)
how bad is Anabel ebe
Accuracy debuffs, Wise Entry x3, summons Hail (70% DPS and Sync multiplier), and has 173.9k HP (more than Piers)
Boosts Paldea and Fairy
What a fun stage
Steel weak right?
I'm pretty sure its fairy weak
It is Fairy, yeah, it even boosts Fairy-types
The battle is for Nemona, not against her
The enemy is Anabel & Weavile
hrm wise entry x3, so no penny allowed, but NY Lisia might be good.
Hail on the otherhand is ehh
how are the sides though?
30k or 40k?
could ss glad burst it down with mina and penny
We will see, but given the huge HP pool i doubt it
it could be possible
ss gladion @ wise entry x3
Said the 5 honse havers
We need to stop Mewtwo from increasing any stat 
electric terrain counts as field effect right?
Yes
For the Fairy EBE, ig I'd use Sycamore + 2 teammates that counter the gimmick & help him stay alive as long as possible.
Hornleech till the end.
Will it be possible to pre-sync Giovanni?
We'll only know when the stage comes out
But it was possible to pre-sync Anabel, so there's a possibility
NY lisia+ss mina for rain and fairy zone seems plausible
SS Mina is definitely the best support for this fight
I have ss mina luckily
If the field condition of gio is literally Darach
Then I might attempt smth funny actually
Yea the +12 isn't fun
Once on all allies once self
imagine if he uses that tm when you flinch him
thats what I fear
"Oh, you are flinching me?How about you die instead."
he makes you flinch irl instead
SC Zinnia sees this as an absolute win
You flinch then you steal
You mean Cerena since she can AoE flinch and SC Zinnia can steal after forcing them to use their TMs
SC Zinnia can flinch as long as they have no buff
So she flinches to trigger the buffs and then steal them
I mean, it's still kind of the same in the sense that it's a little bit longer to execute only
theres no point in using Cerena if you already have 3/5 SC zinnia
Zinnia + Akari = easy win
especially since Akaris sync is AoE - to kill the sides
For Gio or for Anabel?
Anabel, right?
Think they meant for the nemona battle challenge
Since fairy + able to change weather
Very rough conditions for the ebe ngl
Second time we had a tortourus ebe for a strike sprint fairy ss unit released before unit
if i had the candies SS Korrina would be perfect, steal all stats +6 and then prevent them from getting anymore lmao
In a hypothetical scenario where I 5/5 SS Korrina, would this be the best grid when someone else will be nuking?
What's even her team?
for me its SS Korrina (1/5 lol) Akari (3/5) and Elaine (3/5)
also, i will never go past 3/5 for korrina, i doubt its necessary either
why not pick the other fortuitous tile if shes not gonna nuke
her stats will be maxed after stealing giovanni's tmove stats
assuming that his tmove raises all stats to max
i dont see a reason to run a fortuitous 9 if her stats will be getting maxed by the gimmick of the UB
it still might be worth to grid rising tide for that 2nd nuke for the support sync buff + extra damage
is it literally every stat
i think i would probably still grid rising tide
instead of furious brawn
cuz u also got better prepared which is the same amount
i'll prob have to grid pinpoint entry on elaine because the sides seem to lower accuracy, which means ceasless edge might miss after dark DF runs out
Thoughts on Akari grids for Giovanni UB?
heres the rough draft
Elaine will cover my attack so fierce entry 2 isnt needed
this might be better idk
Lodge Gladion and BP Olivia but she's going to lack sand
Wallace: I’m setting Ghost Zone.
Diantha: Yeah for about 3 seconds.
Nice
Really easy win. Just setup and spam. Diantha’s sync took a chunk even against his Special Shield
Gameplay : Since Wallace's Team needs to hit with Status Condition I'll bring Plumeria into the Field and for Rock Damage and Utility I'm choosing Sygna Suit Diantha and BP Island Kahuna Olivia!
Note(s) : You won't get any Medals this time around! for theme Rewards no changes on Candy Coins.
Sync Pair(s) :
💎 Sygna Suit Diantha & Diancie
💎 Ol...
I decided to Plumeria on the mix
Healthy Advantage huh
Battle challenge usually ez asf if you have the latest masterfairs
They are really easy if you realise you don’t need to meet both criteria together
Just do it once with rock and once again with alola 
Or just get funny doggo
Funny doggo?
DC nemona
any recommendation how to tackle 2 Alola and 2 Rocks for me ?
Should I pull Stakataka as I dont have any useful rock unit
I dont recommend pulling for a unit just to clear a battle challeenge.
hmmm what to do
Can you show me your entire roster?
This battle challenge is quite restricted. You want to remove Ghost Zone and inflicts a status condition, not to mention the sides have double defense stat than usual
SS Cyrus is the best bet, you can just spam Dark Void and let enemies slowly die
Can you candy Brock to 3/5? If yes, do it and try Roxanne SS Cyrus Brock, with Brock gridded for sync nuke and Roxanne gridded for TM MPR at least
normal brock ? or ss brock ?
Cyrus also wants Troublemaker 1 lucky skill from
for consistent sleep chaining
I meant base Brock
my cyrus fortunately already have troublemaker
That's great to hear
alright let me check
unfortunately ive run out of candy
as i just invested 2 of them to skyla
Well Brock uses 3* tech candies
Not support candies
Btw for Cyrus you want to click his TM once for perfect accuracy
So judging by what Gakon said; For me, the best team to do all of the BC missions is L. Gladion/SS Diantha/Kukui right?
That sounds good
Looks like SS Brock it is, but he consumes more gauge than base Brock
How many sync orbs do you have?
For Brock try the sync nuke grid with Sharp Entry 1, 50% crit on normal moves help speeding up
Roxanne just wants TM MPR, you reset until the MPR procs one
sorry this means SS brock yea ?
Yup
Good luck
You can try, tho i would remove bottom quadrant tiles to reach Sharp Entry
MGR on Rock Slide also helps generate gauge
when does gio ub drop
august 7th
7 days till another ub that I can't probably beat
just wondering who my support will be for it
i'd like to use nc calem just for having a full dark team for it but i think deep down it's going to be
again 
calem doesn't have enough wtz
indeed not but i do have 3/5 exr akari so
You shouldn't let them sync at all
Don't bother using Dark Wish anyway, enemies don't move
Use CYrus TM once
whose your debuffer
Also you should be wary of accuracy drops
oh you have sc zinnia?
ye
then you are good
1/5 though 
So what’s Giovanni about?
https://pastebin.com/S9zqYL4e
in case you don't know what the tms do, they are+12 to most stats. He has 2 , one single and one aoe
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Eesh dark weak
He’s really looking forward to have those boost turned upside down
Or locked

or stolen, beautiful penny
Support with WTZ seems best since you need to have WTZ 100% uptime
So from my roster that’s… just SS Morty haha
Everyone has a hater
Mina / Cynthia / Morty are the best UB supports for WTZ (and Mina/Morty for weather specifically)
SS acerola too, but she is pretty bad against special damage
Hazer
Oh wait yeah SSAynthia has infinite zone
needs to hog all the syncs though
she gives you ~5-6 turns of WZT at the start before you need to use another WZT from your dps
Later if you somehow run out and still need more uptime - you can keep syncing with her to keep it going (thats how it was on her leon UB clear)
How many No Stat Increase units do we have?
Zinnia and 4/5 SS Korrina
yowza
Doesn't Foxanne also have?
avery too
There are 5:
SC Zinnia
Fall Roxanne
Brycenman
Avery
SS Korrina
Never knew for Brycen lol
does zinnias No Stat Increase thing also count as a 'Field effect' that affects the enemy ? will it disable giovannis passive that triples his defences?
Yes
ok, so what counts for Field effect that affects the enemy is:
-weather
-terrains
-zones
-damage fields
-No Stat Increase
are those all of them?
Circles DONT count afaik
They don't, yeah
ftr its 2 alola 2 rocks its not actually stringent at all
no crit field that Mina has - also doesnt count, right ?
it doesnt
Circle does count as field effect, but they're a field that only affects the ally side
iirc no stat increase is actually a shield just like crit shield and physical shield but it affects the enemy instead so it works
thinking this for akari's grid
Circles only affect your side
anyone did the battle challenge missions with free units? the free rock pool kinda... sucks
You know you can do the missions separately right?
But yeah, the free rock units suck major ass
Also Wallace has Wise Entry x2
I know, far from me to try doing it with both alola and rock, it's already tough due to having to get around healthy benefits as well
And you need to status them and replace ghost zone
Lodge Gladion can counter Healthy Advantage, now just need to find someone who can replace that ghost zone
oh, i have sygna suit lana
i just used BP Olivia, Olivia, and any nuker
She does terrain, not zone
whose your best damage dealer?
who can also status
probably the legendary adventures ghetsis
Plumeria?
i have regular plumeria ya
does she have poison zone in her grid or something
she's 1/5 
Well, she's obviously out of the equation
eh, thats okay, i'll go have lunch, gonna think about it later
even if i have to use courtney
Well, I guess Hau is the only option to counter Healthy Advantage
Can you show us your whole roster? You can rely on support to inflict a status
If you have good tank in the team, zones are NOT really that dangerous in this stage so don't really need to replace it.
Alternative Defog is another f2p choice to clear zones instead of replacing them.
If you have DC Nemona the BC is quite chill
yeah, im back, gimme a minute
I was ignoring the ghost zone at first, i think the status is more important; but if i don't do something about it, I might need some healing
I wish, but I stink at damage challenge, no colress. i just got my barry and roserade to 3/5, but i'm open to take the melony pill
My clear was BP Olivia, OG Olivia and OG Sophocles, and both BP Olivia and OG Olivia don't have EX.
which of these alola characters could be able to beat the ultra beast sprint coin challenge?
Did you try with Cheren as the dps, lana + acerola?
Not sure if you have Lillie?
lillie can heal herself
yeah the ones not included in the screenshot are lilie/ Kahili/ Mina
Oh actually, I realize you have Plumeria.
She can flinch at a lower rate, but she also poisons the target. Posioning them will allow Cheren to deal more damage.
You can use Sophocles. Paralysis + flinch + full grid access.
yea it's 2/5
You don't have any BP tickets?
BP Olivia would be the best imo.
no i dont have any tickets left sadly
i dont think im able to beat them before their turn to sync Gakon
It lasts 18 days so you might get 1 ticket before it ends.
as sleep doesnt prevent them from doing sync move
I just checked and SS Cyrus can 100% make sure they never sync.
Need to chain Dark Void every turns and never click SS Cyrus's other moves though, which requires fast gauge so you should grid Roxanne's TM MPR to max team speed.
thx guys i beat it with sophocles flinching and paralyzing
i see
noted
i tried spamming dark void but i dont know what i did wrong, the enemy still manage to sync
i did get to do 2 sync move before tho
and i always do triple queue, do 3 move in a row, 3 times, and sync, then repeat
but the enemy still manage to sync
Did you stop to queue moves when the sync move glow and click it first?
You should keep queueing moves even when the sync move is ready so SS Cyrus won't miss the timing.
How can I stop Argenta from curing Restrained?
She keeps curing it right when I need to make use of it.
UB, if it isn’t clear enough.
She would constantly remove it right before a crucial sync or right before the move that would trigger rain again.
yes
alright let me try again tomorrow
You cannot
So how can I tell when she will?
She doesn't have any kind of resistance to it, she cures it in the same time as amy other opponent
Idr if restrain has a blinking icon when it's about to run out or if it was based on the number of moves used, but Argenta works the same as everyone else in that aspect
Gotcha.
It’s just so frustrating to have the run ruined with that.
It’s already painful enough since my gauge is on life support.
ah
Is it me or Giovanni's DP looks scary af
I wonder how many pairs can manage the constant buffs and the huge bursta
U think it’s possible to beat Darach UB with Stakata 1/5, SS diantha 1/5, SS Brock 5/5?
Please input their correct move level and sort them by roles
Where is the gauge here?
Yes
I don’t see what Brock provides there
And he lacks offensive buffs
+1 crit +4 atk and holds the team back. Definitely a dead weight
Wait really? I thought this was to promote SeleneAlt
that's intentional for sure
without WEx2 Selene will one shot him with the first B Move
From Absol's datamine. It's Sentry Entry not Wise Entry.
It's prob just misremembering of the passive name.
Checked the UB sheet. Any reason why Leaf is used with DC Nemona and Gordie?
Ah ok
