Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

[thin canyon]

try using nc red irida aura cynthia grid irida mind games 9 and cynthia with numbing blow for para maybe team staring contest if you need it

[coarse lotus]

Ash brute forces quite nicely

or at least if you have any strong newer pairs in general

[marble flume]

I was able to do it with SSA Cynthia + NC Bianca + C. Elesa on my end

[sullen silo]

I need help with nemona challenge

[real surge]

Yikes, why is the Johto challenge so Tanky; red and champion blue aren’t even making a dent

Am I supposed to use the rock and roll frogs??

[fading walrus]

Tbolt red melts it

[true lagoon]

They all have robust physique

You need status to crit

[sullen silo]

The nemona Anabel challenge

[olive venture]

Does this work

[true lagoon]

sure but no spdef drops may hurt

[stable tundra]

SSA Cynthia's paralysis is single target and a bit unreliable

I highly recommend checking the pins for summary of each stage's gimmicks first

[raven wharf]

I thought I was cooking with this one

[light pike]

Can someone explain how to tackle this EBE? I'm struggling to deal damage.

[true lagoon]

check pins first

[true lagoon]

deep fried image

[frail kraken]

so. whos good at lowering sp def and getting critical hits

[true lagoon]

just read pins

you dont need to follow stage recs exactly

[real surge]

🤔, I should re configure something then, thanks

[true lagoon]

sst shits on them

geeta also shits on them

theres really a lot of options

volkner has 50% para

and terrain

[north locust]

In my experience, Kris buffs her Sp Def too fast

[raven wharf]

Lance's bmove kinda mid at 1/5

[final yacht]

true, 55k without zone without smun off type with only -1 rebuff is mid

oh yeah without any multiplier too

[raven wharf]

Erm actually it's with 3 sync buffs and 2 rebuff

[final yacht]

still

just thought about it but sc selene also

[valid raft]

Only when under steel zone, but SSA Cynthia's is permanent

[final yacht]

She has a lot of steel zone tho

it's fine

[shrewd marten]

Can you say arc I just realized that looks like sygna suit aura

Fawck

[valid raft]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-24966265

[shrewd marten]

Our acronyms are now fucked

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[final yacht]

wdym

[shrewd marten]

Ssac

[final yacht]

yeah that's lucario cynthia

what's the problem

[shrewd marten]

There is no problem I used my brain

And realized I made a mistake

[final yacht]

lmao ok

[shrewd marten]

[shrewd marten]

Me dumb

Monke

[snow spruce]

SSA (or "Aura") and Arc

thats how I name them

Ghost = SSRC

Kommo-o = SSC

[final yacht]

ssc could be cyrus too

[valid raft]

LMFAO

[shrewd marten]

[final yacht]

I only use that kind of acronym when it can only refer to 1 unit

[shrewd marten]

Asc

[earnest panther]

Anyone able to beat the johto top tier team with ONLY johto units?

Been trying with the rocket admins but yeesh

[river prawn]

NC Silver is probably a cheat code

[earnest panther]

My current team just fyi

Can't even survive the surf onslaught (rain is not up)

[cosmic token]

VKris is a hoot.

[earnest panther]

If only i had vkris

[river prawn]

I'll try a HJasmine run quick

[earnest panther]

Literally the only eeveemon i don't have

[final yacht]

You guys have Johto units?

[valid raft]

Imagine having Johto units

[earnest panther]

Johto units.

[final yacht]

Imo rat is Johto enough

[earnest panther]

I want to at least make this battle a challenge, why not johto vs johto

[final yacht]

[earnest panther]

Nah, Kanto not allowed

Only johto

That's the rule

[final yacht]

I have... Yeeaaaah

[earnest panther]

LETS GO.

[novel fog]

Johto? you mean the worst region to ever come out to pokemon?

[final yacht]

so true

[novel fog]

Paldea is 2nd worst btw

[final yacht]

[novel fog]

What EBE is next?

[earnest panther]

Alola

Status change
Spdef drops
Spatk buffs

[novel fog]

Who is this one made for?

[earnest panther]

No one, there's no region lock

[valid raft]

SC Lyra/Brycen-Man/AS Cynthia

[earnest panther]

I'm just doing it for the challenge

[novel fog]

Yeah but the Johto one was clearly made for SS Piers and Roxie for example

Not about region lock

[valid raft]

It's more on who's made for the gimmicks

@stable storm Were you the one who said that Grusha was made for the NC Galar EB?

[low coral]

I was the one who suggested Grusha

[valid raft]

Ah you

Yeah, I realized it just now and you were right

Especially because of the typing too

[sullen silo]

I need help with nemona challenge

The one vs anebel

[lost wind]

This made me hate Anabel
3/5 SS Kris
1/5 AS Steven Role
3/5 NC Leaf Role

After many tries I finally beat her. Thanks Arc Steven. Only Nita left. I feel so pumped I just need to post here lmao

[novel fog]

NC Leaf the goat

[small basin]

i love freddy fazbear

[real surge]

Yeah it worked. First time through just was unlucky with discharge paralyze with Zapdos. Just used SST reds Dynamax and cleared

[buoyant tide]

q about the robust physique + x3 def stuff - this is status condition (e.g. para or poi) not status change (e.g. rebuff or trap) right?

[small basin]

si

[buoyant tide]

alr. my team is gonna be scuffed as hell either way but

game really keeps going 'damn you dont have any -spdef units :)' and im going WELL I COULD IF YOU MADE THEM

[mystic lion]

I am so close to beating Nita but that Hippowdan that sets Sandstorm when the mid dies is so tanky... Also can someone send Anabel a glitter b*mb. She's borderling impossible without NC Serena. 😆

[buoyant tide]

i have never wished i had the rats more than trying to do this damn johto fight

[quick dove]

yeah

i have joltoen and kris, maybe with disenchanting strike i could try to not die

[buoyant tide]

rn my best hope is somehow lodge volkner

ok yeah i have no clue why im doing such pathetic damage

[quick dove]

are you inflicting special conditions?

[buoyant tide]

yes

[quick dove]

they do have like, idk, 100k hp or maybe even more

and not only that, but we need flinch immunity

[buoyant tide]

ok. if i can get like, more than perfect rng i can do penny lodge volkner ssa cynthia

[plush gale]

Alola Type Rebuff

[marble flume]

There’s no theme skill requirements for these new EBEs

If that’s what you’re concerned about

[buoyant tide]

also for having both her potion mpr tiles gridded my ssa cynthia sure never rolls those refreshes huh

[buoyant tide]

if i were to cave and throw a support candy at penny (revenge boost x2 + group dragon guard), would flabbergast 4 be worth it? i feel like theyre likely to have confusion resistance so the energy is prob better spent elsewhere

[fathom crane]

Is there a way to beat top tier Ethan without electric pairs...? Because I don't have a single good elec pair lmao

[marble flume]

The major stage gimmicks are listed in the pins

As long as you’re following those you probably don’t require any Electric damage-dealers

[dark dust]

Ethan last hit with trap trigger lmao

[rich heron]

Karen will also work in today ebe

She lower spe atk

Lusamine removes rebuff after her sync

[earnest panther]

What's your roster like?

I was able to beat it with SSKris/Ariana/NC Silver

Aka offtype

[forest root]

Good teams to take on Ethan? I have Kanto birds

[rich heron]

Leaf is good choice

[earnest panther]

Status them, and use a powerful move

The main gimmick is no status = Tanky

Next reset is similar, No Status change = Tanky

[noble sapphire]

Thank you so much for the advice!

[pallid badger]

Oh dear. Arc Steven

[solar stirrup]

I think my team was a bit overkill

[true lagoon]

what

how

oh you mean enemy

[rich heron]

Yes

[dark dust]

Status change is stat drop?

Or need status infliction as well

[true lagoon]

no

neither

[dark dust]

Oh interference?

[true lagoon]

that is a status change

but not the only kind

[dark dust]

Oh okay

[fathom crane]

I have a few good pairs but not a lot. My best off type is rock bc of silver and nemona

I've tried a lot of diff teams and nothing seems to be working atm

[earnest panther]

Are you inflicting a status?

because if not, there's your problem

[paper mural]

EX OG Elesa beat Ethan's ebe just to let you know.

[buoyant tide]

bruh,,,

the closest ive gotten so far is drasna

[dark dust]

https://youtu.be/Oy_1VJkr0gM?si=HDivhno8EamhBTXS

The clear in question

[solar stirrup]

Can nc marnie (3/5 no exr) nc blue (1/5 no exr) nc leaf (3/5 no exr) able to brute force the lusamine ebe?

[stable tundra]

the team should beat her EBE easily

[stable tundra]

looks like Geeta is your best option for dmg dealer

do you have SS Morty or NC Leaf?

[sullen silo]

Leaf not morty

[stable tundra]

use Leaf instead of Acerola

is she 3/5?

[sullen silo]

No

[forest root]

I’ve got Arc Cynthia and Arc Steven

[stable tundra]

might be rough because you want to replace hail after Anabel's sync

[sullen silo]

Yeah

I will try some more attempts

[stable tundra]

you should give Leaf a try first

[buoyant tide]

why is celebi packing giga impact man

who needs this

if i go with clemont penny and numbing blow cynthia as my status application i can mostly sustain to get the two electric units down

and then giga impact arrives

[stable tundra]

do you have 3/5 Elesa?

[buoyant tide]

base elesa? yes, but not ex

i have lodge elesa, rotom elesa, and base elesa

[stable tundra]

consider EXing OG Elesa, she is the best accessible option

[buoyant tide]

i am sadly out of champ spirits

[clear bobcat]

Team comp for jhoto EBE

[stable tundra]

you can wait for next week CS

[sullen silo]

That's what I meant

[stable tundra]

replace SS N with a reliable status inflictor, and switch Calem with more bulky tank

[buoyant tide]

oh did i misread the timer?

[stable tundra]

Ariana is a solid choice, as she can debuff spdef and inflict poison

[buoyant tide]

i thought the whole event went to the 19th but each battle was a shorter time limit. if we have time that makes it way easier thank god

[sullen silo]

Thank you gakon your always so helpful we appreciate you

[stable tundra]

all stages should last till 19th

[olive venture]

All i have to do is ex elesa

[stable tundra]

you should replace Colress with a spdef debuffer

enemies have dmg multpliers when their spdef is raised

[olive venture]

Lucian?

[stable tundra]

he is a good optio

n

[olive venture]

whats the sync grid thats used for the stage

[stable tundra]

he doesn't need one

[olive venture]

I mean for elesa mb

[stable tundra]

run the nuke + dps grid

for Sonia, run HE1 on Spark to land paralysis easier

[pallid badger]

Is BP Sophocles also viable

[olive venture]

U mean spark utility sync gird

[stable tundra]

Elesa is better

[crude kite]

this johto stage is onto me lmfao, my best electric damage dealer is ss piers and he’s 1/5 🫠

[stable tundra]

you don't have to stick to on type

[crude kite]

i already tried arc suit lance and nc silver and they’re doing very little damage, not sure if it’s bc i have them both at 1/5 or if it’s something else

[stable tundra]

who were their teammates? Arc Suit Lance should work as long as you debuff their spdef and inflict a status

[crude kite]

ohhhhh you need a status condition? i missed that part for sure, i ran both of them with arc suit steven

[pallid badger]

How do I join Lance’s fan club?

[crude kite]

love lance a lot

[pallid badger]

I prefer E4 Lance to Champion Lance

[paper mural]

Tbh Sonia would prob have issue tanking when their most damage moves are special.

[forest root]

Did it

[true lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/wailord-darkest-lariat-gif-19082882

[valid raft]

Ah yes, the real last anni units

[marble portal]

Double Diancie clear for Darach

[olive hull]

Alright, how do you win the Blessed by a Deity challenge? Doesn't it also want you to do it without losing a single unit?

[valid raft]

You need an AoE debuffer that debuffs 2 or more stats

[olive hull]

Iris/Hydreigon I guess

But I guess I also need someone with Protect since Dragonite insta-deletes a target

[paper mural]

Not really. Max def buff + enough atk debuff can help you tank fine.

[olive hull]

+4 def and -6 attack still one-shots any unit

[paper mural]

If you mean the Giga impact right before the 2nd sync, the battle really should be over there and not extend further.

[olive hull]

The first one

So I'm basically out of my support after it syncs

[paper mural]

What tank were you using? Try Hop and max hp before he hits.

[olive hull]

So Hop can take the hit but it's not enough. Those back to back Earthquakes just chip too much

[stable tundra]

i would replace Lucas with a strong EX strike

[olive hull]

Gotta clear zone though or those Earthquakes will kill faster

[paper mural]

What move level is your Iris?

[olive hull]

2/5

Yeah, battle is basically lost when they all use Earthquake. There's no surviving all that

[paper mural]

Lucas 3/5?

[olive hull]

Yeah

[harsh owl]

So im doing the damage sparring for arc suit steven. The ground weak one. Should i just run triple Cynthia, or is there a better option here?

[stable tundra]

#1255888121648644197 is the correct channel to ask for help

[olive hull]

I'll try this later but it looks completely and totally unwinnable right now.

[stable tundra]

you should try an EX strike like i told you before

giving Iris Defense Crush 2 also helps to speed up

[olive hull]

Yeah, Serena. I take massive damage. I take 2 syncs to do what they do to me in one attack each

[stable tundra]

there is no tank there

[olive hull]

Similar outcome even with one

[fringe stratus]

Its funny how powercreep allows us to beat ebes supportless nowadays

[kind stag]

huh

wha

What's a good replacement for akari

[mighty plover]

Yeah the Nita stage is ass 👎🏾

I hate this stage so much

Every other UB is easy compared to this

[eternal yacht]

Done

[novel fog]

Who is this EBE made for?

I'm quite unsure on who to use against this

[mighty plover]

Rats and bird if you have them

[novel fog]

That is not who it was made for

[marble portal]

how on earth is this stage doable

[novel fog]

Mono-fire is pretty close to beating that I guess

Actually it is possible with mono fire

Yeah fairly easy

[gentle wharf]

Unlike yesterday in Johto, Foxanne Arc sandstorm team works fine in Alola

[novel fog]

Johto was a lot easier

I cleared it first try with three 1/5 units

[noble sapphire]

I assume this is meant for SC-Lyra & SC-Zinnia?

[paper mural]

I wonder how many they can duo in the end.

[worthy meadow]

I finally finished the SS Johtrio with Clemont/Ball Guy/Lenora...needed good RNG with Paralysis and Accuracy down though.

[rotund oasis]

done hrm

[obsidian meadow]

This alola ebe is rough

[rotund oasis]

they actually cleaar rebuff

[noble sapphire]

Yep.

[worthy meadow]

I thought SS Ethan needed to be eliminated and that's all but SS Lyra is a pain with sure flinch Grassy Glide(?) and Giga Impact. Lenora of course provided good Sp. Def debuff to stop the boosts and help Clemont. Ball Guy to reset opponents stats and ups Crit and Defense and provides status conditions.

Clemont's Acc debuff and Parabolic Charge are very helpful although he's vulnerable to Flinch (prefer Vigilance on him). You could say Speed debuff helps in endgame so you'd get more moves in. You need maybe three MPR of Lenora's TM to have sufficent heals. I feel timing Ball Guy's TM to heal is also important to not waste it (Aeroblast with SMUN hits like a big truck; worse than his Sync Move IMO).

To add: Ball Guy has Interference Immunity (has Vigilance on grid) while Lenora has Unflappable in her grid to stop flinches.

[tall escarp]

Yo this Alola EBE does not play LMAO

I didn't know they cleared rebuff so I had to brute force near the end

[lunar sedge]

They clear rebuff?

[trail beacon]

do i need rebuff for alola ebe

[stable tundra]

absolutely yes

you have to re apply rebuff after Lusamine's sync

[trail beacon]

oh

[worthy meadow]

Is Restraint not usable there?

[trail beacon]

hmmmm im gonna think of something

[stable tundra]

restrain is good

[trail beacon]

oh restrain counts?

[stable tundra]

yeah

[trail beacon]

maybe i can use arven

[pallid badger]

What did you all use to clear Alola EBE?

[stable tundra]

but rebuffs are better because rebuffers are generally better

my personal clear: #1053291896778264597 message (1/5 EXR Akari 1/5 EXR Arc Steven 3/5 EXR Cerena)

[trail beacon]

tried my usual dark team and they died lol

maybe i could try offtyping it

[lean trench]

Oh i thought these ebes gonna be easy after Johto one 💀

[trail beacon]

holy shit it worked

Rats

[lean trench]

Metagross my favorite rat

[quick dove]

This worked too, just some flinch sniping

Lance when he gets benched for the 10th time for someone else

I might try leaf instead of lance for the johto one

[gentle wharf]

Out of curiosity, what is Lance’s kit? What does he bring as a Multi/Tech?

Is it just big DPS and stat drops?

[novel fog]

Yes

Could AS Steven replace NC Blue in a Nita clear with NC Red and Egg Lapras?

[paper mural]

Lance is better paired with others anyway. It's kinda like NC Blue + NC Red WAY prefer Irida than NC Leaf.

[stable tundra]

I doubt it, but worth a try methinks

[paper mural]

4/5 might be yes but you need perfect flinch ig.

[plush gale]

https://youtu.be/48y_tslqJm4?si=x8pp4duyHHs5i5Ix

I try to make it more Instense

[novel fog]

He's 1/5

[high zephyr]

i dont think it is possible, for egg lapras if you pay attemtion to the clear, you need zapdos to inflict flinch at the right moment so that your team is not wiped out. I quit trying because that seems too hard

[novel fog]

Tbh I should've used my paid gems on his paid banner regardless of the 70ish scout points I had on the none paid

[novel fog]

Yeah that's fair

You fight her with Cynthia when sandstorm is up?

[paper mural]

1/5 = 0 chance.

[high zephyr]

what is the most consistent clear for nita, is it nc blue irida nc blue? or is nc blue replaceable with chase or ssa cynthia?

[novel fog]

Replaceable for sure, yes

[high zephyr]

i saw cynthia and steven clear with sst red but im sure it will at least need 3/5 and 4/5 rip

i give up clearing nita with cynth and steven

[novel fog]

Yeah might just wait until SS Kris banner drops and try that KriSS/NC Red/Foxanne clear

[paper mural]

ASteven has flinch too, and it's st so actually better. But it's still rng heavy.

[novel fog]

Aggravation quite helps

Does troublemaker effect flinch rates?

[river prawn]

No

[paper mural]

No. Only status moves like thunderwave or sing.

[eternal yacht]

Basically it makes Status moves more accurate

[novel fog]

Ah

Irida rerun when

[thorny brook]

Does arc steven consitantly raise spdef?

[novel fog]

On every use of his bmove iirc

Reduces the enemies def and sp.def by 2 and raises your team's def and sp.def by 2

[thorny brook]

Do they remove debuff after sync?

[stable tundra]

Nita? Yes

[thorny brook]

So i have to re add debuff

Ok

I meant rebuff

Oops

I ought to make this clearer

Does the alola extreme battle event remove rebuff after sync

[eternal yacht]

Is this a good grid for Gio? (teammates are 1/5 SS Nemona, 1/5 RKS Steven EXR.)

[high zephyr]

damn 3/5 cynt, still contempleting whether i use my all time 3 yellow candy saving on them 🥲

[snow spruce]

well if there was EVER a unit worth using yellow candies on - its Arc Cynthia. She wants 3/5 more than Arc Steven
But best to just save until EoS

[fading walrus]

Attack trap> apply status change 9

Also you most likely will want dc9

[eternal yacht]

Nemona and Steven already do alot , should I still?

[eternal yacht]

Alright

[fading walrus]

I mean Gio kinda sets back to +6 with his TM iirc

[high zephyr]

im waiting for hypothetical arc Red lmao

[eternal yacht]

I could've read it wrong but it was +3

And Cynthia + Nemona constantly debuff defense , but let me try and see how it goes

Also I feel like my sandstorm runs out very quickly , any way to get around that?

[fading walrus]

Well yeah you're using buddies a ton

It's why I'm not the biggest 3/5 Cynthia fan, she kinda requires a sand setter or NC silver as ally to not run out

[eternal yacht]

I feel like 5/5 is the best

Bc of Dust Kicker

[plush gale]

Turns out My New Set up with Lillie's Solgaleo + SSA Cynthia and Champion Marnie can Handle the Aether Family

Although Lillie Needs that Field EX Role

[thorny brook]

Im struggling

[lean trench]

the fact that you need another rebuff really makes this a lot more complicated

especially when my only two rebuff units are Gordie (who I am NOT bringing) and AS Steven, with whom i tank and generally want to sync first

[plush gale]

Without Rebuff Problems

[thorny brook]

Can i beat the alola ebe

[agile wave]

[rich heron]

If u don't have spe def on ur team

You will die

[hearty cedar]

This was too easy

[rich heron]

These ebe's are nothing if u have units

[sacred haven]

EBE King NC Bede strikes again

Didn't think Anni '24 Lillie would do this much damage

[shadow gyro]

Managed to beat them with this team

[rich heron]

Og champions

[valid raft]

That was rough

[stable storm]

how's the ebe ya all

[fading walrus]

Relatively easy, like the previous one

[valid raft]

Alola gave me just a wee bit of trouble

[stable storm]

who do I torture this ebe with?ss glad or carnie

[mint swan]

I used ncblue, sscyrus and ncmarnie to clear it

[fading walrus]

I used my newly acquired 1/5 brycen man + NC calem + exed lodge cheren

[stable storm]

I kinda wanna test fairy comp on this

[limpid egret]

Finally beat the diety match without losing both supports

[stable storm]

Just got full fairy comp

(Ss wally is only 3/5 and so is mina but it's still mostly full)

[fading walrus]

Kinda slow rebuff cycle

[stable storm]

does Anabel clear require more than 3/5 of any member of fairy comp?

[fading walrus]

if you don't clear mid fast enough you lose if you have single rebuff

[stable storm]

I finally wanna kill Anabel

[high harbor]

has anyone tried mix leaf on anabel?

[lunar sedge]

Based fairy team enjoyer 🤝

[neat needle]

Can someone help me with this?

[stable tundra]

You might need flinch rng to buy time

Lusamine's sync will cleanse every status change

[neat needle]

[neat needle]

Ohhhh

[stable tundra]

Save a Serena's B Move just in case

[neat needle]

That makes so much sense

[neat needle]

Does she cleanse the rebuffs?

[limpid egret]

Is this at all possible? Have been struggling and only found my best luck with this team. (Only hilda has EX role)

[paper mural]

Yes.

[valid raft]

You don't have a rebuff unit

[high harbor]

Im gonna try dojo gloria, mix leaf and maybe nc rosa(Idk for 3rd member) on anabel and hope for the best

[limpid egret]

Thought that may be the case

[low coral]

Went with a Dragon comp like yesterday, no problem for the new EBE

It's kinda weird to have them be regionless

[valid raft]

Because thei gimmicks are not for the faint of heart

[low coral]

Kinda, although it feels more like everyone is boosted

Let's see how the rest goes

[valid raft]

Because if it was region-boosted, then majority of players will struggls

[neat needle]

Is SS Lear a physical or special striker?

[high harbor]

special

[fading walrus]

Eh, limiting to 2 themes is much worse than whatever these 2 EBEs offered with full roster

[neat needle]

Would he still have good sync with SS Steven or would SS Lille (sogaleo) and Gloria be better

[stable storm]

couldn't decide who to murder this ebe with so did this

(the dead gal is rosa. I forgot to potion)

[earnest panther]

Funni Alola clear.

[fading walrus]

Based

Restrain my beloved

[stable storm]

this comp looks like it could pre sync tbh

[stable storm]

Ss glad reflecting the debuffs was hilarious

[earnest panther]

Sailorola is even funnier because she debuffs upon getting hit

both spatk and spdef

[high harbor]

I tried mix leaf, dojo gloria and nc rosa, its not enough on anabel

[earnest panther]

Because you have no status interference

You need to confuse, flinch, trap, restrain, or rebuff the opponent

It's easier to restrain tho because for some reason restrain is immune to resilience

[high harbor]

soo, zerena?

[neat needle]

Dear god that was awful

[earnest panther]

Sounds like you relied on trap

[neat needle]

I lived a blizzard with 1%

[neat needle]

No?

I cant get a good trap since she’s 1/5 for me

[low coral]

They have two units that can set rebuff twice there

[earnest panther]

Oh right

[stable storm]

restrain and rebuff are not categorised as status conditions or inflictions

[earnest panther]

I forget arc units just have rebuff lmao

[stable storm]

this ebe was so easy lmao

[low coral]

Idt infliction is a thing

But yeah, they aren't interferences either

[stable storm]

oh right interference not infliction

[neat needle]

Who would go better with SS Steven? SS Lear or SS Lillie with Solgaleo and Gloria

[stable storm]

they are considered status change but not condition or interference

[earnest panther]

At the end of the day, rebuff and restrain the meta for this battle

[stable storm]

Ss Lear by far

[neat needle]

Oh ok!!

[low coral]

Well, do you need Gloria specifically?

The best would be Lear + Lillie

[stable storm]

Steven and Lear combo looks busted in general

only missing a good steel zoner who paras

[earnest panther]

Ss lear sets steel zone tho no?

Thought he did

[low coral]

No

He sets Pasio Circle (Defensive)

[earnest panther]

So worthless got it

[low coral]

No, it's like NC Bianca's boosts but better

[earnest panther]

Wait they actually boosted pasio circle's initial stats?

[low coral]

No, but Lear has passives relating to it

[earnest panther]

Ahhh ok

[low coral]

He also has on grid another Team P-Move and S-Move Up 2

[high harbor]

cant beat anabel, after she syncs its awful

[slow sky]

uh, the lusamine EBE can cleanse rebuff?

[low coral]

Only after sync

[slow sky]

ok that's bs

[low coral]

No need to worry about it if you're fast

[slow sky]

didnt even write in the warning

[low coral]

Use Restrain if Rebuff is too limited

[slow sky]

I dont have Akari so I'm definitely taking the scenic route

nah I just have to change my sync cycles

i just feel that it's bullshit cos its not written in the warning or anything

[earnest panther]

I did it with selene if that means anything

[whole field]

What is today's fight gimmick?

[low coral]

They're pinned

Bring some debuffs and status change, basically

[earnest panther]

Status change instead of condtions

[whole field]

Ah ok

Rebuff counts right?

[slow sky]

yes

lusamine does cleanse after sync tho

rebuff included

[earnest panther]

Restrain and Rebuff are the best options as to avoid Resilience

[valid raft]

But don't let her sync, she cures all status change

[low coral]

Restrain often is reapplicable

So that's more for Rebuff

[valid raft]

Yeah, the fight is clearly attuned for Brycen-Man

[rich heron]

So wht abt tmr

Idt it will be too difficult with red team

[valid raft]

The fight is made for Grusha, I was mistaken this whole time

[high harbor]

kanto fight is gonna be ez with nc silver and ss diantha

galar fight calls for nc red

[paper mural]

If the passive is 1.2 like NCBianca, it's crazy that him alone can be a better circle than any physical or special ones
It's 1.1*1.4 = 1.54

[valid raft]

Gimmick-wise, it's made for Grusha

[earnest panther]

Ew

[high harbor]

in my roster-wise, its made for nc red

[earnest panther]

Why do i have to use avalanche boi

[high harbor]

for unova, I guess ss gladion + ss mina, also why two weathers?

[earnest panther]

Galar huh. Time for Piers gaming

[high harbor]

or just overthrow everything with arc cynthia lol

[earnest panther]

Unova needs weather, ez

[valid raft]

Because avalanche boi debuffs offensive stats with his B Move and protects his team from Marnie's Fiery Wrath, and Marnie has Double Drop + Ripple Effect

[earnest panther]

Oh god galar is going to be miserable

Especially with galar only units

[valid raft]

Bede has All Ramped Up and Berserker Bunch

Marnie has these passives:
Passive 3: Double Drop
Passive 4: Ripple Effect 9
Passive 5: Combo Freebie 9
Passive 6: Stout Heart 3
Passive 7: Steady Resolve 3
Passive 8: Brainteaser
Passive 9: Piercing Gaze
Passive 10: Insult to Injury
Passive 11: Defense Crush 9
Passive 12: Mind Games 9

[high harbor]

I thought all these EBEs didnt have region boosts

[stable storm]

looks so easy

[earnest panther]

I'm doing it as a challenge

Already did johto and alola only

[valid raft]

And Bede has these:
Passive 3: Berserk Bunch 1
Passive 4: All Ramped Up 1
Passive 5: Move: Team Attack ↑ & Sp. Atk ↑ 9
Passive 6: Combo Freebie 9
Passive 7: Steady Resolve 3
Passive 8: Stout Heart 3
Passive 9: Furious Brawn
Passive 10: Furious Brain
Passive 11: Piercing Gaze
Passive 12: Standfast 9

[earnest panther]

[valid raft]

Oh wait, Marnie is the syncer

I thought it was Hop

[valid raft]

It's Hop who has these

[earnest panther]

"Move: team atk and spatk ^9" oh.

Ok bede.

[stable storm]

looks easy

[valid raft]

Means +2 offensive stats every time Bede does something

[earnest panther]

Lemme guess, hop is team def and spdef ^ 9

[valid raft]

He doesn't

[stable storm]

better cuz he won't be throwing fiery wraths with these passives

[valid raft]

Also, Marnie has this:
Passive 18: 1st S-Move on Opp: Defense ↓ & Sp. Def ↓ 2

[stable storm]

what does marnie have

[stable storm]

so nothing

just kill before sync

[valid raft]

Move 1: Snarl (Unlimited)
Move 2: Brave Bird (Unlimited)
Move 3: Fiery Wrath (Unlimited)
Move 4: Brave Bird (Unlimited)
Move 5: X Sp. Atk All (Uses 1)
Move 6: Dire Hit All + (Uses 2)

[slow sky]

definitely bringing downside up/impervious tankers

[valid raft]

Snarl huh? They really want to weaken Red and Irida

[slow sky]

DPS, maybe SS Gladion wahaha

throw the debuff back at their stupid faces

im just gonna assume all 3 has some AOE moves that will cuck your attackers' offensive stats even if your tank has downside up/impervious

[stable storm]

ss glad victim

[slow sky]

(and do I have the perfect tankers for this shit rofl)

[valid raft]

Marnie has Fiery Wrath and Snarl. Hop has Swift. Bede has Hyper Voice

[slow sky]

yeah

[stable storm]

Ss glad victims

@valid raft what are Marnie passives

[slow sky]

SS Glad laughs in their faces

[valid raft]

Passive 1: Resilience
Passive 2: Lessen Poison 10
Passive 3: Endurance
Passive 4: Move Gauge Refresh 9
Passive 5: Standfast 9
Passive 6: Brawn Sync 5
Passive 7: Furious Brawn
Passive 8: Brain Sync 5
Passive 9: Furious Brain
Passive 10: Relentless
Passive 11: Insult to Injury
Passive 12: Smarty-Pants
Passive 13: Brainteaser
Passive 14: Stout Heart 3
Passive 15: Steady Resolve 3
Passive 16: Piercing Gaze
Passive 17: Catalytic Acceleration
Passive 18: 1st S-Move on Opp: Defense ↓ & Sp. Def ↓ 2

[slow sky]

im def bringing my most broken tanks as well

hehehehhe

[stable storm]

ss glad ripped alola ebe

I am bringing grusha + mina or ss wallt

*wally

[slow sky]

1 thing i like about this ebe, there is no region boost

so its basically a UB but taken a notch down, which will expire unlike UB

[stable storm]

what does smarty pants do again

it's basically Lucy

but even weaker

[slow sky]

yeah

lmao

[valid raft]

The lowered the Sp. Def., the higher the sync move damage

[crude drum]

Smarty-Pants

The more the target's Sp. Def is lowered, the more it powers up the user's sync move.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Lyra & Vaporeon
Red & Venusaur
Hop (Champion) & Zapdos
Iris (Fall 2022) & Naganadel
Elio & Espeon
May (Anniversary 2022) & Latias
Giovanni & Mewtwo
Burgh & Leavanny
Gardenia (Summer 2024) & Dhelmise
Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade) & Giratina
Fantina & Mismagius

‎

Helena (Hex Maniac) & Haunter

[stable storm]

ss glad victim

[valid raft]

Nah, it's actually SS N victim

[stable storm]

ss N doesn't have imperv right?

[slow sky]

I like how Gardenia is a "?" for the pic

[valid raft]

Actually

[valid raft]

Well, he has offensive debuffs with his B Move along with SEUN

[lean trench]

is there F2P clear for alola EBE yet?

[stable storm]

has been for a while

[pallid badger]

Is lowering of rebuff imperative?

[lean trench]

what is it

[stable storm]

sycamore, bertha and valery@lean trench

[lean trench]

again?

[pallid badger]

Valerie and sylveon?

[stable storm]

no lmao, mawile

sylveon is less than worthless

[pallid badger]

I wish they would give sylveon a grid expansion

[shell aurora]

Arc cynthia and steven really gonna clear everyone of these ebes lmao

[stable storm]

did bt leon and arc core do every ub?

[warm haven]

yes

[stable tundra]

They should clear Evelyn easily

No one expected BT Leon before that

[stable storm]

oh nice

so we got 3 new teams that do every ub?

[stable tundra]

What are the other 2?

[stable storm]

TRIPLE MEGA PSUEDOS
TRIPLE POWERHOUSE POKEMON
and arc duo + cheren

[novel fog]

AS Steven SS Steven SC Steven

[snow spruce]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1unwNqwt18yroGqlEpdcnvYBhpn7KdX-ZCD53vqiufzg/edit?gid=1190611733#gid=1190611733
Arc Cynthia - NC Cheren - Arc Steven
Arc Cynthia - NC Silver - Arc Steven
Arc Cynthia - SST Red - Arc Steven
Arc Cynthia - BT Leon - Arc Steven
^ 10/10 UBs
Arc Cynthia - F.Roxanne - Arc Steven

• 8/10 right now, but it should be 9/10 after doing Leon

[paper mural]

I think you confused Anabel's ebe and Alola ebe (with SSLusa).
There's literally no reason to use Mawile in Alola's ebe when she's not dealing ontype dmg.

[stable storm]

@snow spruce call nc silver and arc duo triple mega psuedos in the doc

[stable storm]

oh mixed up my bad

[stable tundra]

Arc Cynthia must be a social person, she got invited to every party

[fast pendant]

in theory cynthia and steven already got their "counters",
Noland, Nita and Leon are pretty bad matchups, so I really wanna see what they throw next

[snow spruce]

I wonder if you can use Anni Raihan instead of BT leon in the all UBs Clear.

[slow sky]

definitely bringing Arc Steven lmfao

[stable tundra]

Doubt it, he has no max damage guard unlike BT Leon

Also no status for Leon UB

[fast pendant]

well 2 of theirs clears have no status

[stable tundra]

Oh just noticed Silver and Cheren clears, mb

But Noland is the roadblock right

[fast pendant]

nita and noland

noland sounds doable, you have a lot of sync acceleration and 2 guards

[warm haven]

I mean, silver doesn't even have damage guard

[stable tundra]

Tbf i didnt remember about Silver earlier

[wicked jacinth]

Any tips for anabel extreme battle?

[stable tundra]

Can you show us your Fairy and Paldea roster please?

[low coral]

But Anni Raihan does have Max Guard

Or do you mean having two units with it due to applying to someone else and himself?

[snow spruce]

anni raihan has Max Guard max move

[paper mural]

Max dmg guard is a passive that apply damage guard after using ANY max move, so 2 dmg guard from 1 max guard.

[snow spruce]

1 max guard should be enough for noland if your damage/sync accel is good enough

[low coral]

I think they mean the passive MAX Damage Guard

But Raihan accelerates sync more, he's probably going to end up ahead

[snow spruce]

but thats only to himself, right ? Its not that important. he cant use that on Steven or Cynthia

[paper mural]

Btw if the team's dmg is busted enough, 1 damage guard is fine for beating Noland.
It's literally how Chase + NC Red + Irida beat it (only 1 guard in the entire team).

[snow spruce]

he also has sand alert 5 .. and sun

but no speed debuffs and his damage is a lot lower than BT leon

[river prawn]

I got a Steven/Anni Lillie/Summer Tate clear against Giovanni

[warm haven]

yeah

still that's not that relevant for the clear

[warm haven]

he has constant atk/sp.atk debuffs, sync accel and stuns so prob nita wont be much of a problem either

[low coral]

I actually used Raihan himself to beat Noland with Lance too

[vale pivot]

@eternal yacht show your pairs here

[quick dove]

Pretty much, and the dragon rebuff. Steven already tanks, drains defenses over time and raises everyone's attack

[gentle wharf]

Ah yeah still good, but the most switchable of the 3 in a party comp

[quick dove]

I put leaf to get around robust physique, so i had to bench lance

Managed to ko celebi right before they used swift, so it was smooth sailing from there

I do have the cynthia specific cookie on her if thats any difference

[vale pivot]

Arc Cynthia has 3/5?

[snow spruce]

its actually worse than WW3

[dark dust]

Thanks to the people who mentioned Lusamine clears rebuff on sync

[quick dove]

Dang, i thought it was better becuase of the higher number

[dark dust]

Just did not let her sync

[snow spruce]

sand blaster 4 - 40% damage in sand, but only for sync
WW3 - 30% to both moves and sync, any weather

[quick dove]

Oh, i see, its only for the sync

[vale pivot]

Ok
you can try to use sand tomb on everyone, use B Move until you get 10 Sync buff boost and try to nuke her, or use a dark Tech and nuke her and then attack the ones on the side, both strategies have to be done after the first Sync of a sup

NC Serena needs the target to be full of debuffs, but Lusamine removes them all after her Sync

[fair sorrel]

Did it before lusamine 2nd sync came.

[shrewd marten]

Why does it want me to rebuff

They don’t have no status change defense up do

I’m pretty sure

[left crow]

They hit hard!

Thank calem for the evasion and bede for the confusion

[shrewd marten]

They’re just kinda bulky it feels like

And they hit hard obviously

[fair sorrel]

Wonder what Marnie weakness gonna be next reset.

[shrewd marten]

Mirage am I right

[fair sorrel]

But I know I’m not looking forward to grass tho.

[shrewd marten]

Is there no reason for dark rebuff

[fair sorrel]

Nah, any rebuff works.

[shrewd marten]

No like

Why rebuff

I don’t see a passive

That does anything

[stable storm]

iirc defense up if no rebuff

[fair sorrel]

Ooooh that

[shrewd marten]

Where

I don’t see it

[snow spruce]

all UB and EB nowadays use the triple def/spdef gimmick passives
Piercing Blows doesnt bypass it

its not a damage mitigation passive, its just increase base stats passive

different logic

[true lagoon]

how are you supposed to beat the alola bc i cant nuke lusamine before she syncs and that gives everyone tripled defenses

[shrewd marten]

Well I know that part

I just didn’t see the triple spdef def gimmick

Passive I mean

I guess I missed it

[true lagoon]

yeah cuz they got like 5 entry passives

mfw quick tempo

[snow spruce]

I'm not sure it shows up in-game (?)
it shows up in the datamine 😉

[fair sorrel]

Ya the datamine pastebin should be somewhere about it.

[final yacht]

Lusamine had time to sync but by then her and Gladion were almost dead

And I just bruteforced the rest of Lillie's HP

[shrewd marten]

Oh I. Saw it

I purposely let her sync

And I saw the x3

There we go

Ok I understand this eb now

You want impervious rebuff and spatk down

Also btw it’s status change right

Not rebuff only?

[fair sorrel]

The main focus is rebuff but status effects also very nice to have.

But it doesn’t have to be just dark rebuff.

We have a fire, Dark, Fairy, Water, electric, ground, and steel rebuff is all I remember.

[left crow]

Oh so nc rosa would work?

[fair sorrel]

Worth a try. I haven’t seen anyone use her.

[true lagoon]

idk what im doing wrong then cuz i literally used ss hau whos just a direct upgrade

[shrewd marten]

We have everything

You forgot arc lance dragon rebuff btw kek

Also I don’t use ncrosa as much anymore cuz arc Steven whomegalol

[olive venture]

Im trying the johto ebe and idk who to picl

I wanted to off type but it needs the status effect and a sp def debuffer

And unflappable

[fading walrus]

1/5 brycen man solo DPS the stage like nothing

For more accessible options, Karen works fine, and any good enough enhancer+DPS + Gordie can work lol

Sides eventually die anyway, if you have a better rebuffer or restrainer that's just better tho ofc

[weary totem]

well shit uh

saving grace is that i get 3/5 Marnie in like. a day. do you guys think that saves this?

[forest root]

Donezo

[valid raft]

Did you even reapply the rebuff after LuSSa synced?

[weary totem]

oh- does it remove rebuff?

that explains everything

damage noticeably dropped

Zinnia dies after her first sync but im gonna try finding a way that she Doesnt

[valid raft]

LuSSa removes all status change after she syncs

[weary totem]

so i can reapply

[low coral]

Zinnia applies it only once

The better approach would be to try to not let LuSSa sync

[weary totem]

,fuck, forgot thats how she works

[valid raft]

Penny can reapply it through sync, but only if she's 5/5

[low coral]

And focus on mid over sides

[weary totem]

i'll try focusing on mid then, i only got penny recently so im nowhere near 5/5 on her

zinnia sync might do it

[valid raft]

Zinnia can kill LuSSa

But only if she's 3/5

[weary totem]

shit

oh nevermind

hell yeah

[valid raft]

Also, Zinnia can prevent the Sp. Atk. buffs from the enemy team if timed right

[weary totem]

oh yes ive been doing that already

[true lagoon]

wheeeeeee….

also she crit with prismatic laser :v

[paper mural]

NC Blue + SST Red can dual this stage. What's your grid look like?

[true lagoon]

i got it

[pale mica]

I got none of these units

How do I?

[valid raft]

[pale mica]

I got Lucian if that helps

[high zephyr]

Damn someone actually managed to beat nita with lyra and fall roxane, i feel stupid now

I wonder if replacing fall roxanne with gehtsis would work

[fast pendant]

Roxanne has a very relevant role in buffing your defenses there

Besides debuffing speed and blocking buffs after sync

[high zephyr]

Yeah def debuff too, rip that sounds so try hard

[marble portal]

Do we have the types/gimmicks for the 3 locked EBEs?

Wanting to plan in advance.

[rich heron]

[marble portal]

sweet thx

welp tomorrow's looks rough for me cuz Ice is something to be desired

I'm guessing Rock I can get away with SS Diantha.

tho I assume I need to debuff spD as well

[paper mural]

All of them don't really need ontype dmg dealer if you have strong ass off type arc/mf strikers.

[marble portal]

dont have an arc

mf striker....yeah. Maxie is my most invested in.

been debating upping Gladion tho

[clear bobcat]

Why I dont have team entry 1 tiles in my kit? Did I miss something

[wicked jacinth]

U can expand his grid from the xerneas event

[clear bobcat]

Did it available now

[wicked jacinth]

No

Maybe in a few months

[clear bobcat]

Okay

Any team suggestions EBE FOR CURRENTLY GOING ONCE AS F2P 🙂

[valid raft]

Which one?

[clear bobcat]

All of them fairy pt2, alola, johto

[valid raft]

Anabel requires you to have a weather changer that is not hail, an AoE attack debuffer and a physical damage dealer. The regional top-tier challenge guide is in the pins

[clear bobcat]

Ok i can't find pin? Where its

[valid raft]

+pins

[plucky swan]

See below on how to check channel pins!

[clear bobcat]

Thanks

[wicked jacinth]

Tips for anabel?

[polar stream]

sorry for ping but what move levels and exes if any?

[fluid rose]

I'm struggling with the Challenge: Those Blessed by a Deity, i have +20 roll cake vouchers from today, what team should i do?

[olive hull]

I actually just cleared that one today

[fluid rose]

My best attempt yet was with Hop, Arc Cynthia and Lets go eevee

[olive hull]

For some reason I didn't screenshot my win...

I believe I won with Hop, NC Leaf, and NC Serena. Role EX on Serena.

The idea being NC Leaf destroys stats very effectively. Also heals and can deal with Metagross. Hop to help resist and heal. And Serena for the damage.

[olive hull]

I don't get the hard Alola battle. I take massive damage. They take nearly no damage. What's the strat here?

[marble flume]

Stage gimmicks are in the pins

[olive hull]

Oh. But no one puts Dark rebuff on everyone? And it sounds like you must not let opponent sync?

[marble flume]

You aren’t required to on-type

[olive hull]

So what are people actually winning with, so I can play around that

[marble flume]

Should be able to scroll up a bit and see a few clear screenshots

[buoyant tide]

alr. elesa is ex, lets see how this works

[quick pewter]

I used my steel team for the Alola one today 😎

[gentle wharf]

3 4 1

[unreal breach]

I was able to do it with your units, but it required Leaf and eevee at 3/5 for flinch

Used Dardach, Cynthia, and Eevee 3/5

Eevee and Cynthia EX, Cynthia role caked

[kind wasp]

Suggestions for the aether trio battle?

[fluid rose]

i managed to just barely get it done a few minutes ago, but thanks a lot, will definitely ex and role cake cynthia, i don't know why i didn't just default to that

[unreal breach]

Grats, you have a really underdeveloped roster, so that's impressive 🙂

[fluid rose]

yeah, started pretty recently all in all, i started just when the elaine banner was on a few months ago

[kind wasp]

Nvm I copied the akari and frogs clear

[supple reef]

somehow i cant beat lusa’s ebe 💀💀💀 help?

[marble flume]

You aren’t required to on-type

[supple reef]

i did try off type actually

with 4/5 pawmot

lunala survived tho

cant believe im struggling with an ebe tbh

[marble flume]

Nemona’s not a great pick for off-typing an EBE, IMO

[supple reef]

why so?

should i try to bruteforce with geeta maybe

maybe her + oleana and klara but i fear theyd not survive the prismatic laser + fleur cannon back to back combo

[true lagoon]

oleana and geeta should clear

just have to be sure to either pre sync or get side hp low enough to brute force 3x def

[thin canyon]

Try team of arc Steven geeta and oleana save oleana max move for after lusamine sync

[olive hull]

Battle is so damn hard. Their spattack just balloons while your spdef melts.

[supple reef]

so close

i’ll try to save the max move then

[supple reef]

ty! it worked

[thin canyon]

[olive hull]

I am still nowhere close to winning this. Who is this for? What do I do?

[thin canyon]

What units do you have?

[olive hull]

A lot. Who do I need?

[true lagoon]

check channel pins

[olive hull]

That explains the gimmicks. Not sure how to win with that information though

[buoyant tide]

i lied i did dc first. but im here now

hm. i have ex elesa, then its a question of penny vs lucian for anti-spdef - i presume penny is still better even tho she's pure special right?

[mental jasper]

@spring hazel what team are you using at the moment for the Johto EBE?

[spring hazel]

penny, summer gardenia and sc irida

all with unflappable

[mental jasper]

and how are you inflicting an aoe status condition?

[spring hazel]

o

wait I thought status condition was like, defense down

and stuff

😭😭😭😭😭

[mental jasper]

you're not dealing any damage because the opponents have tripled defensive stats

given how long the alola battle just was for me and my very invested account, do not play these battles on extra hard mode

[spring hazel]

am stupid so sorry 💔

well uhhh

[true lagoon]

alola bc was hella annoying

[spring hazel]

I have geeta for poison

[mental jasper]

nah you're good

[true lagoon]

tfym she removes rebuff after sync

[true lagoon]

oh thats good

i used her for my clear of it

[mental jasper]

oh I think lusamine died before she could sync for me lol

[spring hazel]

geeta and klara for poison team

but then there’s only penny for sp def down

idk if thats good since she only Lowers one

[mental jasper]

you can't beat penny for an aoe spdef dropper

[true lagoon]

i couldnt presync her even with nc blue sstr until i flinched fleur cannon into a side denial

[mental jasper]

we don't have any -2 units with ripple effect 9 yet I don't think

[true lagoon]

no the issue is that shes debuffing you and they have multipliers for it

and they all have 4 gauge moves

[buoyant tide]

technically, gridded syna hilbert

[true lagoon]

ss hilbert erasure

summer gardenia erasure

[spring hazel]

ripple?

and yeah summer gardenia my beloved

[true lagoon]

passive

[spring hazel]

ah right

[mental jasper]

oh I forgor because I still haven't used mine
summer gardenia I have no excuse for

[true lagoon]

applies stat drops to all enemies

[spring hazel]

summer gardenia made my ghost team peak

anyways ok thank u I’ll try poison team then

[buoyant tide]

urghhhhh i hate potion mpr farming

[spring hazel]

nvm even with poison team I don’t even get close to beating it

sadge

[stable storm]

4 resets till latios

[buoyant tide]

so if my options here are 1/5 penny and 3/5 lucian and i have a support candy, is it worth candying penny/working on investing in her so eventually i can get the satisfied snicker/unfortuitous tiles?

if i dont use it on her i might use it to 3/5 my rika and go full +10, im not sure i have another solution

and before anyone asks. i cant just follow the other ex elesa clear, because i dont have ex oak/nido or ex bp clemont

[olive venture]

Does this work

[valid raft]

Let's see...

Ah yes.
No rebuff to the sides, no Sp. Atk. debuffer and no Sp. Def. buffer

[olive venture]

Who debuffs both sp atk and sp def

[valid raft]

Have you checked the pins for the guides?

[olive venture]

Yeahh

[valid raft]

You're required to debuff the enemy's Sp. Atk. and buff your own Sp. Def.

[stable storm]

sp def buffing is optional isn't it?

they just debuff your sp def a ton

pretty sure calem has imperv

[stable storm]

just needs an aoe rebuffer

who debuffs special attack

[olive venture]

Oleana

[valid raft]

Sure, but you're kinda required to pre-sync LuSSa

[stable storm]

should be good

Just kill before sync

[olive venture]

Who kills before sync

[stable storm]

lussa died to me very quickly

I also used carnie

[valid raft]

Very strong nuker should do it

Just be wary of the sides

[olive venture]

I used sycamore oleana and carnie

Decent?

[stable storm]

no, why did you remove calem

you want the dark zone since you will be pre syncing lussa

[olive venture]

I sync with calem then right

or marnie

[stable storm]

is marnie caked

[olive venture]

Nope

[true lagoon]

you're not required to debuff it

if anything the actual requirement is buffing special defense because they all have 4 bar moves that hurt like crazy and brainteaser/smarty pants

[stable storm]

sync with calem first yeh then Marnie

[valid raft]

They have Sp. Atk. buff multipliers too

[true lagoon]

do they

[valid raft]

And almost all their moves are special damage

[crude drum]

:warning: | No Sync Pairs found with specified name

[stable storm]

everything is ss glad+ rebuffer fodder

[true lagoon]

maybe it was cuz i used nc blue but i never saw multipliers for spatk lol

[stable storm]

ss glad fodder

[valid raft]

Even I struggled with NC Blue, but maybe because I was forcing myself to on-type

[olive venture]

I almost did it

[stable storm]

keep on trying, you will eventually get better rolls

[olive venture]

Ik what to do

[valid raft]

You should've dealt damage with Oleana

[olive venture]

Yeah i messed up

[valid raft]

Don't just spam Venom Drench

[stable storm]

wait, how many of these ebes does ss glad counter assuming rebuff/status is handled?

[valid raft]

Not the Kantrio EB, that's for sure

Kantrio EB needs sandstorms or rain and need to lower their defense to avoid the 80% mitigation

[valid raft]

Let's see how much SS Hilda hits tomorrow

[solar stirrup]

What's the next ebe?

Could Ghetsis (5/5 ex pb) NC Blue (1/5 no exr) and NC Leaf (3/5 no exr) probably be able to clear it?

[rotund oasis]

hmm okay this coming fight is against the galar neo champs huh hmm

ice weak hrm

nc red 3R, and nc blue + ball guy lol.

[buoyant tide]

all the ebes are painful if you have a thinner roster but. man.

i can bring penny and play very very carefully to apply fairy rebuff after lusamine's first sync but

even with gladion gone that second round feels like it goes way way faster than the first

i might try with larry since he can apply 3x albeit not aoe (ig im focusing down anyway so not applying it to both post-sync isnt so bad

just. friend care 9. really.

[novel fog]

this one is 🆓

[rotund oasis]

There we go o.o

2 syncs with nc red (+1 sync from zapdos)

[novel fog]

If I had NC Bede I would've tried to beat this EBE with the Galar NC Trio

Budget NC Bede

[hearty cedar]

Rosa calm down lol

[twin warren]

pre sync

[dark dust]

Heh

[hearty cedar]

I used the birds to destroy the birds

[stable storm]

easiest ebe so far

[stable storm]

*nc bede on steroids

[novel fog]

Real

[lunar sedge]

Ol reliable

[magic moat]

Thank you Irida and NC Red

[plush gale]

Well Neo Champ Rosa save my Day https://youtu.be/HkKleCKqU6s?si=WWaHy2N8taTfawzD

[paper mural]

Duo again.

[covert marlin]

this one a pain but fun to use

still hate that it's a chore to manage circle

Dena screwing a good support with awful animation smh

[left crow]

Just deny them the opportunity to sync lul

[cosmic token]

Red being broken and PalCandice being funny

[dense sapphire]

I don't know if this is a more affordable clear for the Blessed By a Deity battle since there are no MMs, but SS Diantha is def one of my best pairs (C!Iris is 1/5, both Diantha and Morty are 3/5 EX but no EX role)

[pallid badger]

Why is their sync so painful? I cannot survive it

Plus to ensure that they reach sync, they have endurance

[covert marlin]

you need to make sure your team has no sp def or def drop, and their team has no atk and sp atk gain

mist and haze from SS Misty helps

or units like SS Gladion who reflect stat drop

[pallid badger]

I ended up brute forcing it with AS Lance, NC Red and Bellelba

Fortunately AS Lance has endurance so I got lucky

[magic moat]

What I have learned from finally beating MP Aether Family battle:

When in doubt: NC Kantrio out

[rich heron]

Easy bro

[cosmic token]

Just be glad Hau isn’t in the list.

[magic moat]

Why?

[cosmic token]

His SS Gladion built EBE is a real pain in the butt.

[magic moat]

Not a problem for me personally
I have SS Gladion

Kinda got lucky when we had that

[pallid badger]

Is he good?

[magic moat]

Idc for meta that much tbh

[cosmic token]

Ah

[thorny brook]

Are they all 3/5?

[worthy meadow]

Tips for SS Triola, Prismatic Prism is insane even in max Sp. Def and min Sp. Atk.

Is Master Fair minimum or can you clear it with Poke Fairs/other limited only?

[thorny brook]

I die first sync

Would nc blue be better instead of arc steven?

[paper mural]

3/5 NC Blue > 1/5 ArcSteven

[thorny brook]

Both are 1/5

Looks i cant beat this then

[snow spruce]

arguably 3/5 Blue > 3/5 steven since steven only gets atk/spatk debuffs at 4/5

[novel fog]

Why is NC Red not EX'd?

It's probably one of the things that are holding you back

[magic moat]

Yes

[novel fog]

And I believe that you could just go for more damage instead of using SS N for offensive debuffs

[gentle wharf]

Foxanne Arc team works again

[deep drift]

The trio multi arcs are having trouble 😵‍💫

Also I feel my Lance is always weak 😞

[snow spruce]

Arcs never have trouble, but as long as Cynthia is 3-5/5 EXR and Steven is 4/5 EXR

[solar stirrup]

1/5 nc blue 3/5 nc leaf 5/5 ghetsis powerboost no exr

[deep drift]

I have them all at 1/5

Could that be the reason why

[solar stirrup]

That shouldn't happen. The issue is definitely that you don't have enough defense

You should definitely Ex nc red as it's very beneficial to dps down the sides when possible

[paper mural]

ArcLance is never supposed to pair with ArcCynthia.
They're better form 2 different teams.

[pallid badger]

Can clear with Brycen man

[solar stirrup]

Have fun with the gauge

[thorny brook]

I cant clear the aethee family

[worthy meadow]

I don't have Brycen Man...anyway is there a unit that's either omni Sp. Def boost/Team Stalwart?

[thorny brook]

Do you guys see any possible teams that can?

[solar stirrup]

Also had a bit of luck since nc blue got a triple flinch first turn then when hop was about to reduce my defense, but at the same time, Ghetsis didn't crit on his first sync and I misplayed a bit

[solar stirrup]

Try sst red nc blue arc steven

Sounds overkill but it works
