Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

[fast pendant]

well hail by itself is not really valuable

[tawdry bone]

Is N weak to physical or special? Neo gladion wasn't doing as much as I thought he would

[buoyant tide]

wrt fighting, theyre rerunning my boy riley (as someone who was asking for him when the game launched i was SO sad i missed him by like a month and i am SO hype hes rerunning) so i'll have him as my fighting core soon alongside ssa cyn

idk how well he synergizes with nc rosa per se but

will def say rats o'clock is the highest prio, then nc rosa, then irida/others o7 ty for the insight, i really appreciate it!

[buoyant tide]

did you have some form of wtz up?

their gimmick is that you need to alter conditions in order to deal damage

[tawdry bone]

Oh

I see

[snow spruce]

my dream team of 3 Cynthias and 2 Garchomps doing 4 EBEs (5 tomorrow)

[buoyant tide]

do you think theyll ever give us a variety cynthia/spiritomb

i think the odds of her getting a roserade unit are slim at this point but given she has a spiritomb in the cs rotation im hopeful

[river prawn]

Poison comp cleared Giovanni

[snow spruce]

hopefully it would be seasonal or Special costume Cynthia with a new costume for Spiritomb

[buoyant tide]

i feel like they wont do a halloween spiritomb only bc we already have ssr

if they do tho. that would be the dream

[snow spruce]

nice

+1 team with 10 UBs

[buoyant tide]

they can make it less girly and more cynthia this time

[onyx cedar]

almost lost to getting Rafa'd

[earnest panther]

the SS Mina team is still able to beat every UB

[snow spruce]

2 SS Mina teams*

[patent rivet]

What would be the full team? Cynthia with who others?

I have the rats and the Arc trio, but find it difficult to beat him

[snow spruce]

both the rats and Arc trio should stomp Palmer EZ.
Assuming the damage dealers are 3/5 EXR .. if they aren't then I'm not sure

[patent rivet]

I have them at 3/5, but can't manage to beat him

I would need a video tutorial xD

[snow spruce]

thehe are some videos for Palmer here

[patent rivet]

Thanks!

[earnest panther]

What a god.

[crude kite]

nc kantrio tomorrow(?) is probably the only eb i can actually complete 💀

if a 1/5 nc silver can do the job

[valid raft]

Technically yes

[earnest panther]

you need def drops

no def drops lmao good luck

[fading walrus]

I almost did this with ho-oh over ssmina because back then she was 1/5 for me

I lost at 6% hp

[valid raft]

Silver handles the weather, someone else handles the defense drops

[crude kite]

arc suit lance?

[valid raft]

Yes

But depending on the team, he might not survive Red's sync

[crude kite]

yeahhh tbh im kind of stuck on who my support should be

[vernal bane]

Guys can’t clear with this team

Any suggestions please

[valid raft]

You have contradictory units without a proper support

[olive hull]

I cleared with the same team except Aaron instead of Irida lol

[earnest panther]

first problem is no support.

+101

[plucky swan]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you've done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding & gameplay.

1. Build your team around a damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or off-type if they're strong enough). This can be a / striker or a tech. Read the unit's kit carefully - moves & passives - to see what they can buff themselves. Ideally you want to be at +3 critical-hit rate and +6 attack or special attack depending on the unit. Damage dealers should be slot 3 in tactics

2. Choose a support to put in slot 1 tactics so it takes the damage. Your support should cover the buffs and damage dealer needs they cannot max by themselves reliably - critical hit rate and SpAtk/Atk being the main ones. If your damage dealer is self-sufficient, you can look at defensive, healing or other utility supports instead.

3. The 3rd slot is flexible and depends on your other two pairs. You could take a tech focusing on utility such as debuffs or field effects to enhance your damage dealer, or another support that covers a team need like defenses, healing or boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a 2nd damage dealer! It's important to experiment & remember that a successful team needs to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealier efficiently so they can start attacking as soon as possible!

See the image below for a visual guide. And check out #1010307000346878062 or the bot commands pinned in #bot-zone for more information on Triple Queue & other game information!

[valid raft]

And you don't have units that counter the gimmicks of the fight except NC Leaf

[vernal bane]

But I need a debuffer

[vernal bane]

Yes then what should I go with

Idk

[valid raft]

Read the pins for the gimmicks

[olive hull]

NC Leaf spams Leer. Aaron spams defend order. There, gimmicks handled. NC Red attacks

[solar stirrup]

you can't complete the ebes?

[crude kite]

i dont even think i can complete the first four, can’t on type and idk if my stronger off typers can clear

[covert marlin]

no way you cannot clear NC Galar, they require the least mechanics

Ghetsis is free and can debuff, Aaron also can buff both defense

[crude kite]

have them both here, not sure who my 3rd pair should be though

[covert marlin]

NC Nate definitely, but need good skill gear for him though. Wait, you have SS Morty, so just use him

or even Arc Steven instead of Aaron

you are covered for the defense/sp defense so all that left is debuffing with Ghetsis and NC Nate sweep the stage

[crude kite]

i’ll be honest ive never been much of a gear user

[crude kite]

oh never mind, that did it, thanks for the help

[covert marlin]

now Arc Steven, NC Nate and Colress should be able to clear Johto trio too

[solar stirrup]

The fight was kinda free with what you had 😭

I think the hardest so far is either Alola or Unova

Alola hits super hard while Unova just gives you the colress ebe treatment

@crude kite You could try Unova since you have both ss hilda and ss steven

Idk if you could handle the status problems though

my clear with 1/5 ss morty 1/5 ss hilda 3/5 nc leaf (none of them have exr) is pretty unrelatable

[fading walrus]

Hardest one overall is the day one stage

Unova is pretty manageable

No rebuff is easy

[covert marlin]

Arc units should handle Lusamine well

AS Steven, AS Lance and then throw in NC Nate

don't remember if you need to debuff Lusamine sp atk though

if sp atk debuff is needed, replace Lance with like, lodge Dawn, and sync Steven after Lusamine 1st sync

[crude kite]

does colress’s move level matter in this case?

[covert marlin]

no, he is only there to give paralysis, you can replace him with any other units that can paralyse/poison

[solar stirrup]

ss johto?

I found that one kinda fine

[covert marlin]

for first rotation, spam Iron head and B move with steven, then save TM to use after Lyra flinch

[solar stirrup]

And also aoe defense debuffs

[covert marlin]

defense debuff is covered by AS Steven already

[crude kite]

is lyra guaranteed to flinch with grassy glide?

i dont think i queued the right moves so i died lol

[solar stirrup]

yes

shes guaranteed to flinch with any move

[solar stirrup]

I forgot that

I have AS Steven myself

[crude kite]

that was too close for comfort 💀 phew

[fading walrus]

Oh yeah nvm I meant the Alola one

[solar stirrup]

I got pissed at the end since I already took kris out with sst's volt tackle and then ethan with the nuke

Then lyra just proceeded to flinch spam me

[crude kite]

lyra flinch spam was annoying as hell like let me triple queue in peace 💀

poor steven couldn’t catch a break

[olive venture]

Who should i add and remove

[buoyant tide]

imo alola is the worst but im also dealing with a very restricted roster

i wont be able to get ex on either arc before the ebes end so at most i can apply rebuff twice in a fight and i just lack the dps to kill them that fast

[crude kite]

i was told to use arc suit lance + steven and nc nate on alola but then i read that spatk needs to be debuffed and that’s one thing lance can’t debuff

[buoyant tide]

😔 😔 😔

[ionic sparrow]

Does anybody have tips for the galar extreme battle? Im finding that even though im able to debuff the enemy/keep high defence boosts, i just take way too much damage

[buoyant tide]

if i were smarter i could maybe figure out a rika + janine comp for venom drench

[buoyant tide]

are you setting wtz?

[ionic sparrow]

No, does setting wtz help alot for this fight?

[buoyant tide]

oh wait this is galar not unova

mb

[ionic sparrow]

Yea i was about to say wasnt that for unova haha, all good

[buoyant tide]

sorry, im dumb lol

iirc they all have piercing gaze, so discombobulate isnt super helpful and serena's bmove takes too long to set up

so i think a more efficient stat reduction unit is going to help more

[ionic sparrow]

Alr

I was m just using here cause of the def debuffs + sync acceleration and support ex, so i bet i could possibly find someone better

[buoyant tide]

yeah, shes not bad per se but

theres just prob a better option

[ionic sparrow]

I was thinking maybe leanora could work-? Though i dont have her ex’d

Since she also helps with immedeate healing cause aaron only had one heal order

[buoyant tide]

true, and n is phys yeah?

[ionic sparrow]

Mhm

And n already does enough damage

[buoyant tide]

lenora, maube even colress

para to slow them down and give miss chance

[ionic sparrow]

Dont got colress haha

[buoyant tide]

ahh

[ionic sparrow]

If im lucky i can even just para with freeze shock lmao

[buoyant tide]

i feel your pain as someone who also has an incomplete genpool roster

[ionic sparrow]

Also do you think it would be better to have unbending/stalwart or n over crit strike?

Im thinking stalwart cause all of moltres’s spread moves are special, but also crit strike just makes moltres die slot faster

[buoyant tide]

at 1/5 you dont have a lot of his grid to assist there, so i think bringing lenora (she has spdef all iirc) shoud help you keep his spdef high

if you're worried about it, i would say put unbending on aaron but remove stalwart so that he can keep topping you up

[ionic sparrow]

Aaron has both unbending/stalwart from grid, is there a reason to not have both?

Oh btw my leanora is 2/5, so i can get both stalwart/unbending

[buoyant tide]

so, once aaron's stats are maxed you just get an animation skip + proc gradual healing out of using defend order

however, if you don't have stalwart on n and he's taking too much damage, removing it from aaron means you'll be able to continue using it to raise n's stats

lenora can keep both

bc her stat raise is a tm so it doesnt rely on the stat share 9 that aaron's does

you can take your pick of stalwart or unbending to deskill from aaron, but stalwart is probably a safer pick since the aoe you're worried about hitting n is special anyway so thats the one you want to be able to react to drops for

[rich heron]

I am fed up with this mf nita

Trying it since 1 hour

Sometimes this red doesn't give mp refresh
Sometimes opponent crit
Sometime this spd annoys me

I thought it will take just few tries but it's taking very long time of mine

I am done with this

[olive hull]

This Unova one is tough. They really want you to use egg Sylveon lol?

[true lagoon]

any field effect works

well

ideally not sun

cuz ss hilda will roast you

[buoyant tide]

yeah you just need some form of wtz

i did it with arc cynthia for sand (and ground zone) + sync with ssa cyn for fighting zone

if you have a rain team you can prob do p well

i do wonder if theres any potential play with sun using like, ss nemona

if you can shut down victini quickly enough

[slate light]

i managed it (albeit kind of close) with ss nemona, ss wally and penny

[marble flume]

I ran SS Morty, NC Leaf, and SS Nemona

[true lagoon]

i ran ss gladion ss hau nc blue for it

but its still rough

[marble flume]

Sun don’t matter if you KO Hilda before the V-Create, I suppose

[true lagoon]

ss hilda and hilbert using 4 gauges pre sync is terrifying

[true lagoon]

searing shot is the first move she uses

and that shit hurts outside of sun

[olive hull]

I feel like I need 4 units

[true lagoon]

i mean you dont

[marble flume]

You honestly don’t, NC Leaf was basically just there to prevent statuses on my clear

If you go with like Flameproof Lucky Skill you probably don’t need anyone who does that

[true lagoon]

nah lithe is more important

increased paralysis fails is absurdly annoying

[marble flume]

Oh, they paralyze at some point?

Good to know, I guess

[true lagoon]

yes

n does it after sync hilbert has numbing blow

[olive venture]

Could this work

[true lagoon]

but ss hilda is also pretty dangerous since she uses a spread move

i dont think they have the burn passive though

[snow spruce]

it would be a stomp with 3/5 Cynthia, but 1/5 might still work
also you dont need Lillies accuracy buffs because Cynthia has Piercing Gaze

[marble flume]

Scorching Touch 9

[olive hull]

Don't have Arc Cynthia

[marble flume]

I saw that on the Searing Shot when I did my clear, at least

[marble flume]

I mean, you don’t need her?

[olive hull]

Sounds like she's the win button for all of these

[fading walrus]

She's just overly stacked

Trap, zone, weather, good setup, great nuke, sync cd, easy stat dropping

[marble flume]

I’ve done like all of them so far without using mine

You really don’t need her

[crude kite]

so unova ebe needs weather changing, status immunity, and whatnot? yikes

[buoyant tide]

i have her and i can't beat alola still so not a guaranteed win button

[buoyant tide]

your risks are burn and para; if you can pack someone with rain there are a bunch of 'immune to status in rain'

so its not That absurd a combo

[sullen silo]

Can I have help with ebe anabel

[buoyant tide]

i opted for mpr on marley's tm, use x speed cycle 1 and tm cycle 2 since n opens with icy wind so no risk of status - you can get the status from techno blast then cleanse + block for optimal duration

[crude kite]

my only rain setters i know of are winona and may

[buoyant tide]

may could work

have you posted your roster anywhere?

[echo drum]

Ugh, I swear the Top Tier challenges are damn near impossible

[buoyant tide]

if not, i can theorycraft if you can fill this out https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

[crude kite]

not yet, i’ll go take a look at my tracker

[olive venture]

Who do i replace lilly with

[buoyant tide]

someone who can help with your sustain

[echo drum]

Say, what's a good idea for Unova's stage?

[fading walrus]

There's multiple healers in f2p so the latter isn't hard

[echo drum]

I was using SS Nemona for the first run, but I didn't get very far

[fading walrus]

SS nemona is easily one of the best units for it

[echo drum]

Problem is, mine is at 1/5

[fading walrus]

Just avoid having sun up when Hilda attacks,

[buoyant tide]

lillie is giving you +atk (which arc cyn doesnt need), +crit (which arc cyn doesnt need), and +acc (which arc cyn doesnt need) so i assume you have her for heals

[fading walrus]

Mine too, the 3/5 isn't needed

[echo drum]

I was kinda thinking of bringing SS Red along for the nuke, he does have EX Role unlocked

[fading walrus]

Lillie doesn't give crit

[buoyant tide]

yes she does. sure crit

not +crit in terms of raised stat but her tm is sure crit

[fading walrus]

Sure crit ain't "crit"

But anyway

[crude kite]

i have it filtered by role, hopefully it's not TOO hard to look at

[echo drum]

Would SS Blue, SS Nemona and SS Red work?

[buoyant tide]

o7 on it boss

[echo drum]

Or is that too gauge hungry?

[crude kite]

holy fuck that image is smaller than i thought, uh lemme know if u need it to be watered down a bit

[fading walrus]

Better to run a status healer instead of ref

Red

[buoyant tide]

nah its fine dw

[echo drum]

Hmm, SS Nemona, SS Blue, Sycamore?

[buoyant tide]

ex lysandre might be an option at first glance

[fading walrus]

Sycamore heals are pretty rng

[echo drum]

I think his TM heals

Doesn't it?

[olive venture]

A healer?

[fading walrus]

Once

Do you have 3/5 Lenora?

[crude kite]

wait fuck, i forgot to update ss hilda, she's 3/5 not 2/5 whoops

[echo drum]

Nope, haven't played for a while

[fading walrus]

She's gen pool

[echo drum]

I don't have most of the new spotlights

Again, I just came back from a long break from the game

And I didn't get her from my recent pulls

[fading walrus]

3/5 Brock could be fine too then ig

[echo drum]

Didn't think about that

[fading walrus]

He is quite frail but potions are nice enough

[echo drum]

I do have Psyduck Misty

[fading walrus]

And he has TM MPR and group therapy

[echo drum]

If we are considering freebies too

[fading walrus]

Melony has safeguard too

[echo drum]

Oh, true

I do have her at 3/5

[fading walrus]

SS Nemona works amazingly because she ignores the main drawback of accuracy drops

[olive venture]

1/5

[echo drum]

Just gotta be careful with the sun

[buoyant tide]

ok whats the burn chance on 30% + hostile environment 3. would that be 60%?

[fading walrus]

Yeah, if you sun asap after TM it should end before searing shot

[fading walrus]

120%

[buoyant tide]

... it wouldnt be over 100%

[fading walrus]

Hostile environment adds for each number a base odds

So technically

It's 30+ (30*3)

% wise

[buoyant tide]

hm

[fading walrus]

It's not rare for it to be HE3 on 30%s because HE2 would leave you with a rng of 90%

[buoyant tide]

i'm looking at volcanion who has he3 im guessing bc of the combo of 30% on steam eruption and 10% on heat wave

[sullen silo]

I need a Valerie team that can clear ebe anabel

[fading walrus]

Volc never clicks heat wave

[buoyant tide]

well yes

but maybe thats why they gave he3

[fading walrus]

BP Valerie? There's a pretty big variety

[fading walrus]

It's because 30%

[sullen silo]

Yeah

[fading walrus]

As I said before

[buoyant tide]

even if it means steam eruption is base 30% and becomes effectively guaranteed burn

[fading walrus]

HE2 would leave you with a 90/10 odds

[sullen silo]

Well I've tried many times

[fading walrus]

Which ruins it

[fading walrus]

Bertha 3/5?

[buoyant tide]

i mean sure but they also couldve just made the signature move give guaranteed burn

its not like any other mon gets that move

[sullen silo]

Yes

[fading walrus]

Steam eruption has 30% in mainline

They follow mainline

[fading walrus]

Do you not have any better fairy than BP Valerie?

[low coral]

That signature move already is a combination of Scald and Hydro Pump but better

[buoyant tide]

i know

[low coral]

We sure didn't need a guaranteed burn lmao

[buoyant tide]

but

yeah

its effectively a guaranteed burn as is is all. anyway

[low coral]

And either way, having a guaranteed burn on the move for PM would lower its BP

Due to the move power formula

[fading walrus]

Again, they don't stray from % effects

[low coral]

So it's better that way

[sullen silo]

I have these

[buoyant tide]

@crude kite volcanion doesnt have rain status protection but grid has flameproof so you can ls lithe and be fine

[olive venture]

Weather warrior 3 or cs2 on 1/5 arc Cynthia

[buoyant tide]

bring may as your water setter and dealers choice of support - your lillie isnt ex but volc probably wants +acc since they have bedazzle, his tm is only +1acc at a time, and pgaze isnt unlocked at 3/5

theres maybe a case for one of the precision pals units instead?

melony w/ safeguard and precision pals and you dont need to skill flameproof in the first place

[snow spruce]

ww3

[buoyant tide]

do you have the resources to ex her? i think its fine if not but

[sullen silo]

I gridid her now what

[buoyant tide]

i have none of the pieces to test this myself but my thinking is [note: my default tactic setup is right left center so melony is first target here]:
melony tm
lyss tm
may ep @ victini [hoping for -1spdef; post melony tm for precision pals to overcome bedazzle]
-icy wind
may rain dance [probably reset if no mpr]
lyss steam eruption @ victini
melony safeguard
-techno blast
lyss buddy move
something with may idk
melony gmax resonance
-enemy move 3
sync w/ either melony for +2 if ex or with volcanion [you have him ex, if hes not yet caked would recommend doing so]

basically want to nuke victini as soon as possible, then your only status concern is para so you can ls lithe

theres maybe some optimization in the fact thaat you get seun from heat hydro pump so you could try rolling the hw + he3 triple burn and seeing if just sync w/ seun and burn is enough to take out victini but

alternate idea is instead of lyss bring nc cheren snce bleakwind storm is repeatable and he has pgaze in his passive

save fly for dodging freeze shock post sync

there might also be something with 3/5 elio + 1/5 silver

this is such a fun roster to play with

[crude kite]

wait which tile is that?

[buoyant tide]

however, i don't actually think we need it. i thiiiink we can bring melony for safeguard to block status, ls lithe if we want to be extra safe, and then just keep rain up and we're off to the races since lyss offers solid dps

tho the more i sit on it the more i want to try and cook up a 3/5 elio and 1/5 silver bc then you have entry sand w/ extension and 2x rock zone which should be plenty of time

[crude kite]

so something like this??? (ignore colress, he’s a leftover from the johtrio battle)

[buoyant tide]

yee, colress's slot can be safeguard melony, mpr-gridded marley, or uhhh

[unborn patrol]

Easiest one by far

[buoyant tide]

also extremely dumb naming inconsistency: 'hail immunity' 'rainy immunity' and '[team] solar immunity' all provide protection from status conditions during the asssociated weather

'[team] sandstorm immunity' is immunity to sand damage

im not a fan of the atk up arrow whatever naming schema but i have my hands on denas shoulders begging them please. please just make them internally consistent this isnt hard

[calm sand]

That reminds me of how Critical Propulsion is completely different from other ‘Propulsion’ passives

[crude kite]

shit the unovans hit kind of hard

paralysis too like dude 💀 do i have to put lithe on all these guys or something

[true lagoon]

the one that increases burn damage

[true lagoon]

how

[marble flume]

Oh, you meant Scorcher? Yeah, afaik that wasn't there

[calm sand]

Propulsion passives usually gives -1 CD when the move is successful

Critical Propulsion charges a move gauge when the move is a critical hit

[true lagoon]

oh its critical clock instead

because reasons

[calm sand]

Critical Propulsion is also quite similar to Critical Charge aside from one small difference

[crude kite]

unova fail erm

[novel fog]

I don't think 1/5 NC Silver can make it

[crude kite]

which one probably can then? here’s my full strike roster (ss hilda is 3/5 btw, i forgot to update her)

[buoyant tide]

if 1/5 silver cant, you can try the lyss comp

[sullen silo]

Anabel ebe is still impossible

[crude kite]

who should his teammates be? im most likely putting may in somewhere for rain but idk who his support should be

[buoyant tide]

if you can afford to ex melony, melony

[buoyant tide]

see this for a rough idea

[crude kite]

oh, thank you! i’ll definitely try it, think i have just enough resources to ex melony

[buoyant tide]

shes a worthwhile ex for dc stuff too so

def not the worst investment as far as it goes

[crude kite]

hopefully she’ll do me good

[wicked jacinth]

can anyone translate the skill gear and the skills for each pair in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TB4f1bDvVU

[buoyant tide]

ough wait thats such a cute ex style. pity she doesnt have a shiny lap to match it but 🥺

[crude kite]

i dont think i can afford hs1 ☠️ i only have 2 deluxe cookies

[buoyant tide]

OH ignore the hs1 sorry

thats a holdover

sorry sorry

that was from another thing i was working on, forgot to remove it - vigi is probably fine

[crude kite]

well that just took 40+ cookies from me

[crude kite]

np, lol how do i queue their moves again?

[buoyant tide]

NOOOO im so sorry i wish i had noticed it sooner

hs1 is what you want on her for dc shenanigans 😔 i dont know how i can potentially make that up for you but

[crude kite]

not your fault, shitty luck on cookie gambling was to blame 😔

[buoyant tide]

(also not exactly sure what you mean by how to queue moves unless you were asking for the order i suggested? basically i just think you want to wait to set up rain until your second move cycle (between n's icy wind and hilbert's techno blast) to maximize the time you have the defense reduction to when you're using your damaging moves rather than setting up)

[crude kite]

ohhh, probably should have worded it better sorry i was wondering when to use which move bc i tend to always use tms as the first three moves when entering battle

[buoyant tide]

ah! yeah your instinct is correct there except that mays tm doesnt really do anything for us here, so you throw an earth power over at victini to maybe get a -spdef for bigger damage with volcanion

[olive hull]

What are people clearing the Unova battle with? It's hard

[buoyant tide]

stack whats your current roster

[crude kite]

ah okay got it! and when do i use melony’s max move and which one should i use?

[buoyant tide]

you want gmax resonance to shore up volcanion (and may to some level's) defenses. i would say her 3 moves pre-sync should be tm [icy wind] safeguard [techno blast] tm [enemy third move] then if you plan to sync with her first, sync with her and then gmax resonance OR if you plan to sync with volcanion first, queue gmax resonance then sync with volcanion

[buoyant tide]

you have such a cracked roster holy shit

rats should be fine, set electric terrain and go brr?

you kinda have your choice of wtz

if you want to go for a less brute force solution, volo for fairy zone + ex bp valerie with someone to give status protection like melony (safeguard) or marley (tm w/ mpr)

[olive hull]

Setting WTZ is one thing, it's managing the other gimmicks

Sounds a lot like the team I used to clear the battle you needed SS Nemona for. Also had that annoying accuracy gimmick

[buoyant tide]

similar to dc, you can bypass the need for piercing gaze with going for big sync damage

[olive hull]

I could run the SC Steven, but then I have no tank

[crude kite]

alright, thank you! i just did a small test run and noticed my gauge is very slow so it kind of ruins my second triple queue cycle

[buoyant tide]

hm, even with volcanions tm giving him free move next? damn. i was hoping that would give us enough room

we can maybe try for lyss tm -> melony tm -> rain dance as turn 1 instead of ep

[crude kite]

yeahhhh, i just use steam eruption right off the bat after his tm gives him free move up next

[olive hull]

Lemme try with Melony as support

[buoyant tide]

so then you can use may's tm during turn cycle 2 for gauge refresh

she should have racing rain as a passive so that will help after that point hopefully

and i think i blocked it in for the suggested volc grid

[thin canyon]

Try ss moty nc leaf sst red

If accuracy problem could just grid sst red with piercing gaze could run acuity lucky skill on nc leaf and ss morty

[crude kite]

yeah i lowkey have no clue what i’m doing lol

[buoyant tide]

i did my best to explain im sorry

[crude kite]

not ur fault this battle does need a lot of counters anyways

hilda hits like a damn truck

[buoyant tide]

yeah thats why i was aiming to nuke her from orbit immediately

i think you can handle the other two with that team if you take her out, but yeah taking her out is def easier said than done

[crude kite]

oh you were right about that haha, still got koed by n’s sync, i used the max move at the wrong time

[buoyant tide]

ah gotcha - yeah, initial support sync for 2x is a very useful buff. what do you have as ls on volc?

[fading walrus]

I mean, there's pretty good accessible units to beat it

[crude kite]

lucky skill? he has cs2

[crude kite]

im probably gonna still try again with this team

[buoyant tide]

if you. have the (NOT THE DELUXE ONES) cookies to try rolling vigi for him that could be helpful? not sure its that hes getting crit per se but

[olive hull]

I thought sun was to be avoided on this team?

[sonic sandal]

is there a way for me to send all my sync pairs so you can see what i can use for this? I tried using all fairy types and cant even bring it down to 80% hp lol

[buoyant tide]

trying to think of what else we could do to bulk him up

[buoyant tide]

+tracker

[plucky swan]

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

[buoyant tide]

also, you need some form of wtz (weather, terrain, or zone)

that's probably why you aren't able to deal damage

[thin canyon]

Why?

[buoyant tide]

because victini

who already hits like a truck let alone if you enable the sun passives

you Can clear with sun, its just a pain

[olive hull]

This team ain't it. I'm not making it to two syncs, much less surviving a sync

[buoyant tide]

fair enough, not sure where your zone is but

[olive hull]

It was supposed to be on my second sync because I can't do damage outside of sync because my accuracy is gone

[buoyant tide]

idk what the levels of irida and red are here

heres another hail clear

sun clear

f2p with investment clear

rats clear

you have a lot of options basically

i thought we had a valerie clear, that's my b

[olive hull]

Not for this. Cannot get to second sync. Everyone dead by opponent sync. Not like it would have helped anyway since nobody does any meaningful damage and receive massive damage all the time

[buoyant tide]

my apologies

feel free to try one of those other comps

[olive hull]

Irida and Red, I guess

[buoyant tide]

you have an insane number of terrain setters tho, it shouldnt be a problem given your roster

[olive hull]

Who was this even made for. These battles are just insane

[thin canyon]

No one

[olive hull]

Just lol good luck figure it out?

[buoyant tide]

the people with a blue check on their ultimate battles tab

or the whales

or both

[olive hull]

These are meant to be won, not like Ultimate Battles

[buoyant tide]

are they? its just gating the 'free' gems

remember when we got gems for completing events

[arctic mist]

I'm a bit stumped again... Any advice? I've tried each remaining available stage here a bit, but I'm not coming close...

(No additional units to roster shown in replied message, iirc...)

[orchid bridge]

You do have SS Gladion, he is already the cheat code for SSN stage so bring him

I remember the SS Lusamine one wants you to rebuff them, oh and bring anyone who can reliably buff your sp def too

[half silo]

so uh. any chance i can beat ebe anabel with a combi from here lmao

[orchid bridge]

I think there were F2P team.... but I am not sure. But I don't think those are the units that beat it

[arctic mist]

I'm going to need further guidance...

[olive hull]

It had to be done...

[crude kite]

this is what happened when i synced with melony first 🫠

[valid raft]

Did you even use her max move? Also how are you dealing with the accuracy debuffs?

[olive hull]

You could almost do the clear I just did. I'm at the same move levels. Just that you need a different support. I was taking tolerable damage at the beginning unlike with normal supports.

[valid raft]

You'd rather replace May for a proper support that buffs your defenses and also gives field

[crude kite]

i was planning to use it somewhere before n could sync but now i’m starting to think i should use it earlier

[crude kite]

hmm like who?

[olive hull]

Darn, the same team won't work for the Alola battle unfortunately

[sonic sandal]

how to build vs event anabel, my fairy type kinda sucks

[arctic mist]

I'm still not making much progress...

[valid raft]

SS Morty seems tempting

Lemme see Alt. Elio's kit first

[olive hull]

Did you try my suggestion? Try a Master Fair support which may work, but the important thing is to just let Red do all the damage in that comp. Set up Protect before opponent sync too, for a better chance at survival.

[olive hull]

No BP Valerie? If you still can, fully invest in her. It is possible if I was able to do it.

[sonic sandal]

bp is the mawile once?

only have 2 tickets, should i invest?

[stable tundra]

You should spend 4* strike candies on her

Not BP tickets

[sonic sandal]

oh, i do have the strike candies

[stable tundra]

You can try Spring Burgh, NC Leaf and BP Valerie

But Valerie needs EX I'm afraid

[sonic sandal]

got it, will give it a try, fully invested

[sonic sandal]

leaf just endless leer and valerie stack attack, burgh use other abilities and heal, and then first sync move on burge or leaf and next one on valerie?

or all sync moves for valerie?

[stable tundra]

Can you get her to 3/5? You need more than one sun

For move order it's Leer -> B Move once -> Leer. Save her sync for after Anabel's first sync (requires 3/5)

[sonic sandal]

have a yellow candy which can be used on her i think

[cosmic token]

3/5 Evelyn
3/5 Caked Zerena
3/5 Caked NC Leaf with only the base hexagon grid.

[stable tundra]

I wouldn't recommended doing that. Saving yellow candies for arc suits is recommended

Hmm, how about trying Pal Dawn (tank), SS Morty and BP Valerie?

[sonic sandal]

yeah. thats why im not sure about whether to use it or not

[sonic sandal]

nope, tank died in like 3 turns

[stable tundra]

Oops, even with Morty's healing

You have to debuff Anabel's and co. attack stat

[sonic sandal]

the only one i can think of is maybe spring dawn who can lower enemy attack?

[stable tundra]

That's who i recommended you earlier

[crude drum]

Dawn (Palentine's 2021) & Alcremie

Acquisition:

Seasonal

Alternates:

Dawn & Torterra
Dawn & Wormadam
Sygna Suit Dawn & Cresselia
Dawn (New Year's 2023) & Oricorio

[sonic sandal]

ohhh, i thought you meant the one we get from lvl100 friend points

[true lagoon]

lodge dawn lowers special attack

[stable tundra]

And she doesn't have her stats boosted here

Only Fairy and Paldea pairs receive stat boosts

SS Morty is recommended despite having no boosts because he sets sun and buffs defensive stas

[true lagoon]

hes tanked off region before right

[stable tundra]

Yeah, but not for this one

And most of his off region tanking requires specific strats to keep himself alive

[sonic sandal]

so morty lived through weavile's sync move and used sunny days, but at that point my mawile's sync only did like 30% of enemy hp and i'll die in less than 2 turns

[stable tundra]

Is she EX'ed and gridded with sync nuke build?

[valid raft]

Yeah, she needs EX

[sonic sandal]

yeah, EX'ed and followed the sync grid build for nuke

[wicked jacinth]

can anyone translate the skill gear and the skills for each pair in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TB4f1bDvVU

[paper mural]

<Lucky skill> Sycamore: Ice Guard / Bertha: Normal Guard / BP Valerie: CS2

[pallid badger]

Wow this person is really good

[pallid badger]

@sonic sandal try this

[quick nexus]

Bracelet (Fairy):
Fairy Sync 3%

Bandanna (Fairy, Elite Four):
WTZ Sync 3%
WTZ DR 4%
Shower Power 4%

Pin (Ground, Fairy, Unova):
Fairy Zone DR 4%

Water DR 5%

[sonic sandal]

i dont have the same gears, ill give it a try

[crude kite]

lance

[paper mural]

Triple Lance with only 1 death in arcsuit challenge.

[crude kite]

so real

[crude kite]

which lance is the one that fainted?

[paper mural]

Lodge Lance

[stable tundra]

Wow that Dragonite is the mvp of the clear

[crude kite]

lance is the mvp fr

that’s my man

[versed frost]

i got some struggle with the Alola Extreme Battle. Any recommendations?

does the arc suit units work

[valid raft]

Look at the pins for the gimmicks

[pallid badger]

You must remember that Lusamine clears lowered rebuff after sync move so you must apply it again

[versed frost]

okay

[versed frost]

never mind i just killed lusamine with steven's B move

[valid raft]

Before she synced?

[pallid badger]

How’s that possible?

[versed frost]

yes

[true lagoon]

well if it works it works

[valid raft]

Or after she synced?

[versed frost]

before

steven and anni lilled got EXR, and i just cheesed using cynthia with her b move earthquake

[pallid badger]

Can I see how you did it?

[valid raft]

I'm surprised you survived while the enemy has Sp. Atk. buff

[paper mural]

'24AnniLillie debuff spatk

4/5 Arc Steven too

[valid raft]

Oh yeah, Lillieleo debuffs Sp. Atk.

And has Impervious too

[pallid badger]

What would be a good team for the upcoming EBE? I only have f2p rock types

[versed frost]

Wait

i have to compress the video

[pallid badger]

Don’t worry about it. I was just kidding 😂

[versed frost]

damn i just recorded my 3 minute video and i had to do it. luckily i survived again

just use solgaleo's sync move

[pallid badger]

So currently my best rock type is EX Olivia. I use Grant and Aurorus sometimes too

[stable tundra]

Don't use Grant

You can use strong offtype dmg dealer too

[versed frost]

dont ever use grant

i used off types a lot except for johto

and yes i used the pika gang

[pallid badger]

I guess Grant is usable for LG

[valid raft]

Let's see what's the msot F2P for the NC Kantrio EB later

[pallid badger]

These are my rock types

Roark hits hard too but I don’t use him often

[valid raft]

Better to use your limiteds instead

You need a non-sun and non-hail weather setter and an AoE defense debuffer

[pallid badger]

Bertha and Leon alt

[crude kite]

i guess i’m ready for tomorrow???

[real surge]

What’s the gimmick that SSNs battle is focused on? Kind of trying to figure out what’s a good match up

[dark dust]

Pin has all the gimmicks

[true lagoon]

ss gladion says lol lmao

except for ss hilda’s searing shot

[paper mural]

SS Gladion himself can't counter the wtz part. SS Mina is more the main focus.

[stable tundra]

She has Searing Shot? my Gladion took her down before that

[crude kite]

yeah that searing shot lowkey hits hard if you can’t ko her in time

im still struggling lol

[stable tundra]

Just get SS Wally from daily scout

Hope that helps

[paper mural]

The free daily scout? Wow!

[dark dust]

SS Wally, SS Mina, and SS Gladion for three consecutive daily scout. Too easy

[crude kite]

very funny gakon

[pallid badger]

They are 3 over powered units that I don’t have

[true lagoon]

how did you kill her 3 turns into the fight wtf

[stable tundra]

Lots of sync accel

[valid raft]

She's left on the 1st sync rotation, so it'd be the 4th turn that she does something

[real surge]

Guess I’ll give that one a shot. Was trying some off type op shenanigans but maybe I’ll give the fairy trio I have a try (SS Wally, SS Gladion/SS Nemona, some support unit)

[rotund oasis]

Arc Cynthia for me....... As for her teammates no idea. Yet.

From what i see, they dont seem to have resilience hrm

Oh they do have resilience hrm

Kek it nc red sets up hail and then bc leaf sets sun. Sheesh

[radiant edge]

guess we all did exaggerated

Because im using mc tech kabutop lmao

[compact crest]

kanto team impossible to beat?

[thorny brook]

I know this shit is free

But after sync

I just dont do enpugh dmg

[valid raft]

Red is hella bulky

333k HP

[thorny brook]

I cant kill red bruhh

[agile wave]

whats the gimmick for today's ebe

[thorny brook]

With no 3/5 its impossible i think

[thorny brook]

[compact crest]

I'm dead

with red

[agile wave]

[simple anchor]

[tall escarp]

Pretty straight forward EBE today

[valid raft]

This made me wish all of them had Team Offensive Defensive 9 + Shielded 1

[crude kite]

man 1/5 silver can wreck csmm but stands no chance against something like this

[valid raft]

I got pretty close to a duo with SS Diantha being solo DPS

[twin warren]

pre sync

[eternal yacht]

All EBEs' done

[rotund oasis]

sc lyra dedge.

[paper mural]

1/5 UElio + 1/5 ArcLance + 2/5NC Silver but use 1/5 grid only.

[crude kite]

i swapped out elio for steven and lance ended up hard carrying 😭

[paper mural]

The key is to delay NC Silver's sync to rewrite the hail they summon post sync.

[crude kite]

yeah i just realized that like nearly after the battle was over, i definitely should have done that

[paper mural]

Btw NC Silver and ArcLance in one team feels thematically satisfying

[crude kite]

true!

[trail beacon]

lol cant use rats and arc steven this time

[valid raft]

Got 'em lol

[magic moat]

Idk how I won this

[valid raft]

NC Leaf carried you

[crude kite]

bertha W

[lunar sedge]

[radiant edge]

https://youtu.be/NvFDK4J-YWY

and that's that lol

this ebe is over

[noble sapphire]

This was challenging.

[crude kite]

that battle told me i really need to 3/5 nc silver

[magic moat]

Barely
The Moltres on my side almost died

[crude kite]

i didnt time nc silver’s sync right + blue burned him so i slowly had to watch him burn to death

[pallid badger]

Yes

Kantrio is so hard

[jaunty coral]

Noooo

[rich heron]

What's hard in this

I mean I am asking

I didn't do it yet

[crude kite]

red summons hail when he syncs

better bring a weather changer. i would probably advise against bringing a sunny weather summoner though bc leaf and blue have heat wave

[lunar sedge]

Debuff defense or their 3 gauge aoe move would kill you before you can even reach halfway

[novel fog]

Easiest EBE

[rich heron]

Oh

[pallid badger]

Good rock types are scarce

[pallid badger]

With the right team, yes

[valid raft]

Ah yes, the easiest EB when you have 2 of the units made for it

[pallid badger]

Precisely

[jolly moat]

any suggestion for people don't have ss diantha or ss silver and NC Steven and arc suit Steven and lance

[valid raft]

You mean NC Silver, and is this for the NC Kantrio EB?

[jolly moat]

yes

[jaunty coral]

Ez

[jolly moat]

struggling to even form a team

[rich heron]

Sides died in one bmove with +3 pmun

[pale dawn]

Well, of course the Kanto challenge is hard walling my team lmfao

[novel fog]

[rich heron]

Every ebe is easiest if u have required units

[pale dawn]

I was getting through with a combination of the last two anni Reds, Ash, NC Leaf, and SS Morty, occasionally trying Irida to buff NC Red… see the issue yet lmfao

“I’m gonna buff my team with sun and paralyze them with Red… wait a moment-“

It doesn’t feel good to be on the other side of Team Solar Immunity

also my most recent rock pair is classic Blue

[paper mural]

No NC Blue?

[jolly moat]

no

[pale dawn]

Unfortunately not

Shiny Ho Oh has been substituting as the big yellow bird watching over the rats

[jolly moat]

any suggestion from the sync pairs

[gentle wharf]

And that’s 4/5 fights this team can beat

Maybe I should redo Johto and see if it can clear

[river prawn]

Ofc it can

Can probably even duo with those two

[gentle wharf]

Nah Johto’s problem is Robust Physique, which neither of those two can deal with

[river prawn]

Leon UB has robust physique and they did it

And UBs are 500% times the strength of these

[left crow]

High influx of pink diamonds storming 3 big ass birds, more at 8

[snow spruce]

Robust Physique gets just ignored all the time .. power through

[craggy wind]

Kantrio really the most op

[trail beacon]

I think
I'm struggling

Note to self use ash bmove when def is lowered

[outer skiff]

I don't know if this is news
But Im a bit shocked

The ASSteven, ASCynthia, AnniLillie2 core is quite strong

Breezed through the unova battle

[high harbor]

what was the birds mechanic? I beat with nc rosa, nc silver and ss diantha, but articuno was so tanky

[outer skiff]

ASSteven is like the carrier for all these ebes for me lmao
I've used him every stage

Red? ASSteven, SSDiantha, Ingo ez pz

[outer skiff]

Weather and defense lowering

[trail beacon]

Okay I managed to beat it

Rats and SSKris

I love how they casually live a 124k from ash

[earnest panther]

Pfft. Kanto vs Kanto.

[fading walrus]

I love rock weak stages

[covert marlin]

last clear with Alola duo

[jolly moat]

never mind solve with fini rats

[compact crest]

can geeta 3/5,nc silver 1/5 and rosa 3/5 clear kanto team?

I'm keep losing

[orchid bridge]

I feel like you mainly just need someone who can reliably debuff the enemies def

[earnest panther]

Who is doing defense drops?

That's your answer

[thin canyon]

Geeta drops defence

[compact crest]

with trainer cookie

and b move

[stable tundra]

Her B Move lowers -3 each, so time the B Move well

[plush gale]

https://youtu.be/d5j1kP0GtMM?si=gCT-Fak0AhZ0Kc1B

[thorny brook]

Im not doing enough dmg

Wpuld 3/5 nc blue be better?

[compact crest]

thanks gakon chan

that concluded the completion of all Top tier ebe teams

[coarse lotus]

thats rough

[compact crest]

change weather

like sandstorm

or rain

[coarse lotus]

I dont have sand or rain specific dps

prob better to brute force sun with my foster

roster

[compact crest]

good luck

[hexed patio]

is arc cynthia able to clear the new ebe?

[cosmic token]

Yeesh

[snow spruce]

she can clear all 5 EBEs easily (at 3/5 EXR)

[rich heron]

I think this game doesn't want me to complete Nita UB

[rotund oasis]

just remember, nc red is ice-type so ;o

[paper mural]

You prob just time NC Silver's sync at the wrong time.
NC Silver's first sync should be reserved right after NC Red's sync to change the weather.

[rich heron]

Idk what's his problem, he supposed to kill both sides with sync acc to video but he isn't

[pallid badger]

Just be careful because ASC is weak to ice

[hearty cedar]

And GG

I didnt crit 2 of my syncs on red

Support ending the stage is always a sight to watch

[snow spruce]

Kanto? Ice damage?
nope

[hearty cedar]

You make me want to clear johto ebe with my above team too

That team cleared all other 4, but for the johto one i replaced bianca with ash for para

[sacred haven]

This EBE is so difficult

[hearty cedar]

Its easy if you know how to play around even if you cannot ignore their gimmicks

[fading walrus]

Geeta is a freebie in this one

@hearty cedar

[hearty cedar]

Poison masterfair? More like poison + rock masterfair

[fading walrus]

Goofy aaah 7 pmun SEUP rock unit

[hearty cedar]

Make it +10 and destroy red again

[karmic onyx]

even with status change i cant seem to deal good enough dmg to articuno battle rally 10

ermm altho i am off typing with dragonite and metagross

[stable tundra]

#1009564564821639379 is right channel

[karmic onyx]

oh i thought its an ultimate battle

wait ill move it

[hearty cedar]

You dont need status change, you need defense drops. But you cant get those def drops unless you either change the weather or stall it out

Wait nvm, i thought this was about today's ebe, my bad

[karmic onyx]

its my fault, wrong channel

[sacred haven]

And done! There EBE King NC Bede goes again being amazing!

5/5 EBEs smashed, all with NC Bede!

[stable storm]

I just tossed ss diantha,arc cyn and rosa and watched stuff die

[chilly dawn]

I threw out a whackass team of ss kris, paulo and ss diantha. Worked well enough.

[stable storm]

ready to beat up latios again tomorrow ya all?

[rich heron]

Idk

I haven't looked up to any team yet

Is she strong like Anabel?

[true lagoon]

she has fluid fortification but not much else in terms of gimmicks

[rich heron]

Oh

[stable storm]

she's darach level I'd say

[rich heron]

So less annoying

[true lagoon]

that seems like a stretch

[rich heron]

Than anabel

[true lagoon]

i dont think she’ll be that easy

[rich heron]

I have ss gladion

Who else with him

[stable storm]

I consider darach more difficult than other people

[true lagoon]

interesting

[stable storm]

special defense and attack debuffer

[true lagoon]

penny is very good

especially if shes 3/5

[rich heron]

I don't have her rip

[stable storm]

darach healing is pretty annoying. This ub doesn't have much annoying stuff

[rich heron]

Idt ss gladion can do that much debuff?

[stable storm]

just 4k attack

[rich heron]

Wally

I mean

[stable storm]

ss wally should be good yes

[true lagoon]

gladion and wally is enough to cover debuffs

[stable storm]

he also drops sp def iirc

[rich heron]

Oh

[rich heron]

So ss mina?

[stable storm]

yes standard fairy comp

[rich heron]

Let's see if I can clear it or it will be added into my incomplete UB list

[stable storm]

I am fairly certain fairy comp destroys Evelyn

only 1 endure and 680k hp as well

[rich heron]

Oh

Also gladion has two bmoves

Two uses

[sour elk]

Fairy comp with Gladion and Wally will destroy Evelyn, but in general I think she will be between Argenta and Thorton, probably closer to Thorton

[rich heron]

Thorton was easy with Hilda , nc leaf

Standard fire team I would like to say

And remember we couldn't use leaf in Anabel coz opponent was fire

[valid raft]

Yet people still used her

[leaden dagger]

So this is just impossible without nc silver isn't it?

[warm haven]

evelyn will have a ftp team mark my words

[valid raft]

You aren't debuffing their defense stats

[leaden dagger]

I have been

The debuffing is super slow

from the looks of it, it looks as if it is impossible for me while i dont have ncsilver or sskris

[fast pendant]

It's not impossible what so ever

[leaden dagger]

well idk who to use for this cause everyone i have is doing miniscule damage even whenthe defenses are dropped

[lunar sedge]

1 EBE recording down, 4 more to go

[leaden dagger]

OK yeah straight up impossible, is there anyone else who turns this into Swiss cheese that I am missing?

[valid raft]

SS Diantha

[river prawn]

Or literally any piercing blows pair

[buoyant tide]

👀 what are your move levels n all?

[leaden dagger]

Yeah still not working, damage is non existent

[buoyant tide]

9 more days means i can just barely get ex arc cyn for a second application of rebuff and aoe sync before the event ends, so if its possible to get thru alola with triple cyn thats my ticket

[solar stirrup]

Not being able to complete it with ss Mina is diabolical

[valid raft]

How the hell

[solar stirrup]

Skill issue

HOW DID HE USE ALL ROCK WISH WITH 2 SYNC BUFFS

[valid raft]

I was able to clear that stage with only SS Kris and SS Diantha, a fucking duo

[fast pendant]

having 2 sync buffs with mega diance means no supp ex

[solar stirrup]

Don't you supp ex first

[fast pendant]

you should

[buoyant tide]

i think thats runners point (unless diantha is supp ex herself)

[snow spruce]

all 3 are 5/5
but you only need 3/5 EXR Arc Cynthia and preferably sprint role SSA Cynthia.
The old Chomp is just there for looks, though it actually does good damage now if paired with new Chomp
I clocked a 29K+ EQ without any PMUNs (ArCynthias B-EQ was ~76K .. around x2.6 damage difference)

[solar stirrup]

Relatable clears

[buoyant tide]

i have 3/5 og and ssa, 2/5 arc but currently at 15/20 yellow coins and hoping to get her to 3/5 soon too

arc cyn is def my core for kantrio; alola is my biggest wall otherwise so o7 youre my hero

[valid raft]

This makes wanna die with cringe

[buoyant tide]

oh and ssa does have her exr

[snow spruce]

good, her sprint role is excellent for shorter/presync clears. Plus of course Sinnoh master passive

[buoyant tide]

yee

tysm for the roadmap!!

[fast pendant]

Hella easy if you play it right

[snow spruce]

I like it how Arc Cynthia made some of the previous Cynthias better just by having good ground & sinnoh synergies with them

let's goo poison did it

[snow spruce]

old news

was linked yesterday and I updated the doc

8 teams at 10/10 UBs now

[sour elk]

Wow 8 teams

Are those ice team variants (chase, SSA Cynthia, NC blue), arc duo variants (NC Silver, SST red, BT Leon), and SS Mina with SS Roxie + Oleana and NC Cheren + Anni Skyla ?

[signal nest]

Can I have help with this? No clue what pairs to use since there isn't a pair that does sun, rain and fairy at once. And then I assume I have to burn cookies to get myself immune to burn?

I have over 300 pairs so it's hard to send a list.

Please ping me

[rich heron]

Do u have status immune stuff on this team?

[signal nest]

Well all I can do is put a lucky skill on

For burn prevention

[signal nest]

Or is there better pairs?

I'm stuck on lusamine too 😕....I can't figure out frogs or champion marnie

[rich heron]

I won't know until you show ur pairs

[signal nest]

Uh

I'm not sure it's possible

Because the site crashes 😕

[rich heron]

Uh

[sonic sandal]

Do you have pikachu red, Ashe, and nc blue?

Can power through this stage with them

[fossil schooner]

could you filter by your initial 5* pairs then send ss

[signal nest]

There we go

There's so many to pick from

[fossil schooner]

you can definitely use sstr red

ash 1/5 so idk how he’d perform

both ash and blue 🥶

[sonic sandal]

When I did mine, I was using 3/5 sstr red, 1/5 Ashe, and 3/5 nc blue

[sonic sandal]

Think you can run the same team and give it a try

[signal nest]

Here's just 5*

[arctic mist]

I haven't got 3/5 for NC Leaf, nor EX Roles unlocked for any units thus far...

[signal nest]

Do I need to candy blue?

And what grids? That can clear lusamine and n stages?

[sonic sandal]

Don’t think you need much on nc blue because you are gonna use maybe one status move and spam discharge with him

[rich heron]

I did it
I did it
I did it
I did it
I finally did it

[sonic sandal]

Sstr red will need the right grid, one aoe paralyze with dynamax, stat lowering, and electric field activated with dynamax

[rich heron]

Finally I did it

[sonic sandal]

Nice congrats

[rich heron]

It really made me too much angry

While playing

I am trying since yesterday

[rich heron]

Ye thx

[signal nest]

Do you mind sharing the grid you used?

[sonic sandal]

This is what I used.

Go status on red and Ashe first turn, blue can either discharge or status move as well, and then next turn Ashe thunder red dynamax blue discharge

[signal nest]

I'm going to also guess sync with blue first?

[sonic sandal]

First sync move on blue and pretty much a repeat of red attacking before Ashe since the stat reduction applies

[sonic sandal]

Yep

Ashe can wait until second sync if needed to use the all gauge move

[buoyant tide]

does kantrio have any flinch?

[sonic sandal]

Don’t think so? But the articuno has triple ice attack and it hurts

[buoyant tide]

solid

that lets me take off team staring contest

[sonic sandal]

Need a weather changer

[buoyant tide]

ye im using arc cyn

hmm bertha means no -spdef, i wonder if lucian can survive

[rugged bolt]

Need help with the Kantrio

Managed to get Red to 26%

[fading walrus]

You can probably find a better alternative to 1/5 Cynthia who's ice weak for the stage

[valid raft]

You need paralyze and burn immunity

[signal nest]

What move is that? B thunderbolt?

[snow spruce]

replace leon with another good dps. You dont need his debuffs for Kantrio, Blue and Cynthia are enough

[signal nest]

So doing rats and neo blue I need flameproof or what? No purple cookies

[sonic sandal]

Yep make sure use it at max gauge

[valid raft]

You're kinda cucking yourself by using Cynthia since she's not 3/5

Your team will eventually die to sandstorm chip damage

[sonic sandal]

Do you have arc Steven? And maybe bring Bertha

[signal nest]

Thank you I will give this a try when I get back later

[snow spruce]

Kantos strongest losing to Tierno and f2p team...

[rugged bolt]

Ol Reliable Red

Just spammed his buddy instead of Cynthia's

[novel fog]

You're supposed to use blizzard for SMUNs and then bMove as long as there are more than 1 enemy on the field

[buoyant tide]

ok if i cant get arc cynthia to 3/5 but i can get her to exr, is there a chance of that being enough for alola? theoretically the plan would be arc cyn, 2/5 exr rika (-acc and +evasion for fleur cannon in particular, +ground zone, xspdef all w/ refresh, and -2 random stat per hit), and 1/5 penny (xspdef all + third rebuff application)

[low coral]

Not really that specifically

While you can optimize, basically any rotation on Red works

And the most optimized is unlikely to just be Blizzard > Ice Beam > Blizzard > Ice Beam

[novel fog]

You should be fine but you want to sync with cynthia only after Lusamine syncs, assuming you can't pre-sync

[novel fog]

Well if you're denying turns its a whole different story

But you don't really need to, the fight is fairly easy with a good team

[low coral]

Even if you're not

That is a fine rotation, but like I mentioned, any one is good enough

Even spamming Ice Beam and Blizzard only

Instead of alternating

[buoyant tide]

yeah so far my best on alola has been surviving second lusa sync but then not having any more ways to apply a status change she wont cleanse (im so mad about friend care as a concept)

i could force myself to grind out a br for the 5* powerups and convert them with the 1->4 spirits monthly conversion bc as much as i need the powerups ex on penny would prob be the best first sync? since sand sets ground zone and then i want to get rika's buddy move out before fleur cannon so that also sets ground zone, saving her sync is prob necessary

idk. alola ebe sucks send tweet (im just salty i dont have any of them)

[novel fog]

What does your roster look like

[buoyant tide]

i posted my roster a bit ago, lemme find the pic

here

tldr day 1 player, quit after having to buy gems to get og cynthia, came back to get ssr and ssa, then was told rika was getting added and have been back since then

so my only rebuff units are a 1/5 gordie, 1/5 penny, 1/5 larry from the 100 free pull tickets, and now arc cyn + arc steven

[paper mural]

Can't you just delay either ArcSteven or ArcCynthia's first sync until Lusa use sync?

[buoyant tide]

i used all my spirits on getting ex elesa for dc + johto, so i can get back to 50 from finishing my hoenn medal this week for csmm + next week clear and csmm to ex one of those two yes (both are caked already)

but before i put all my eggs in that basket i wanted to run it by everyone in here to make sure i wasnt going to wind up sol

[paper mural]

Oh they're not ex yet...

[buoyant tide]

yeah

tragically lmao

soon,,,,,,

[paper mural]

Maybe you can pair them with 1/5 Larry and save 1 Larry's bmove until post sync.

[sonic sandal]

Anabel 2 is so hard… why does it only hit 600 for other people and hit my Bertha for 900? Can’t even use sandstorm after enemy sync move. Sadge

Does 5* and ex has that much of a difference?

[buoyant tide]

yes

5* powerup adds to your stats

not just unlocking ex for a bonus effect

if you look on pomatools you can preview the adjustment

e.g.

so by the 20/20 to unlock ex you have 242 def/spdef and 781 hp compared to baseline 202 and 681

[paper mural]

Also Skill gears matter. The best HP skill gear gives +100 HP, +20 Def & +20 Spdef at most, while the 3* type gear only give +70 HP when ontype.

[valid raft]

And skill gear gives +100 offensive stats at best

[buoyant tide]

hm, i can try this - as-is i can take out gladion p quick, so then post lusa sync use first larry atk on lillie for rebuff + buddy on lusa for chip eq dmg, focus her down, then that leaves 1 for post-lusa sync 2.... ill try it!

[sonic sandal]

rip. My skill gears suck

[buoyant tide]

fwiw every free/event feather has a dr condition in slot 3

this is the arc cynthia feather

[sonic sandal]

Guess I probably just wasted some resources and can’t clear her

[buoyant tide]

obvi ground zone isnt what you need here but im sure theres a sand dr one

or you can aim for smth like the klara one w/ universal -2% to sync dmg

[sour elk]

Oh wow apparently ice team with NC Blue doesn't beat Thorton, also a bit surprised Arc Duo have 4 different flex options to clear all UBs

I was missing NC Cheren + Arc Duo clearing all

[buoyant tide]

the main variable iirc is a damage guard next unit for the ohkos

for the arc duo

[fast pendant]

I'm pretty sure if you consider 9/10 you can get 10 or more options for arc duo

[buoyant tide]

so cheren does fly as his dodge

[sour elk]

The variant with NC Silver just brute forces through Noland"s ohkos that was hilarious

[low coral]

It can beat it

I just never bothered recording it due to work lol

There's a lot of stuff I plan on posting later

Lance runs, SS N runs, etc

[sour elk]

So it's 9 teams so far

[buoyant tide]

ropal out here tanking the data smh smh (this is meant lightheartedly not to be mean)

[sour elk]

3 ice variants, 4 arc duo variants, and 2 teams of SS Mina + type core

[buoyant tide]

i didnt realize ss mina was so cracked tbh

[low coral]

It's mainly because of Rain Dance

Since these EBEs punish sun very hard

And Nita punishes sand pretty hard as well, although manageable if you're called Cynthia

[buoyant tide]

they managed to make water fairy op typing for a legendary in this game too

[low coral]

But you wouldn't run SS Mina on a lot of these clears normally

[sour elk]

I wonder if SS Mina + SS Roxie + Oleana is the strongest full PF team, all other full UB clear teams seem to have at least 1 MF/AF

[signal nest]

This one I can just use blue feather move to remove status conditions right or do I still want a lucky skill?

[paper mural]

Ig Irida buff the opponents' ice moves make NC Blue WAY harder to tank.

[signal nest]

Please ping me

[azure night]

https://youtu.be/KG2rDYJ5u-k?si=WLhzaK0unspit9kg

[paper mural]

Btw is there a good ArcLance core that can clear at least 8 UBs to be put on the list?

[sonic sandal]

It doesn’t remove it, but shouldn’t be a big problem for burnt since you have sustain healing and active healing while they hit for like maybe 200

[low coral]

I believe you can beat everything except Nita + Anabel with Tbolt Red + NC Blue

[snow spruce]

I wonder if there are any more options for 10/10 for Arc Duo .. or has everything been exhausted now (SST Red, NC Cheren, BT Leon, NC silver)
what about NC leaf ?

[arctic mist]

Three stages, now...

[fast pendant]

SS May would get 9/10, I don't think they get to do Noland,
Leaf cannot get Noland as well

[snow spruce]

after that the next step is to see what supports (NC blue, SSA Cynthia, SS Mina etc.) can maybe replace Steven there and still do all UBs

Leaf couldnt do Noland with Steven, but she should be able to with Cynthia/Blue/Mina, they bring their own damage guards

[fast pendant]

not blue, no

[low coral]

Leaf has most of her damage coming from her Sync

[snow spruce]

Leaf seems useful in general but she doenst have speed debuffs and her sun setting is kinda awkward, I do wonder how good she actually is on Nita..

[low coral]

She can beat Nita

[snow spruce]

there is also the Oleana option - big debuffs including speed, dmg guard

[low coral]

Just wouldn't be with Cynthia, probably

[buoyant tide]

i mean if you can get trap up cynthia can debuff speed

[low coral]

Steven / Leaf / May can probably defeat Nita

[buoyant tide]

unless you mean ssa

[low coral]

Unless they can't survive the initial sand barrage, but Grass can

So they probably can as well

[snow spruce]

Arc Steven - Arc Cynthia - SS Leaf can probably do Nita ? But not Noland..

[low coral]

Dunno if you got the damage for it

Cynthia would probably do a lot less without sand, and even less if you don't sync with her for the Move Ups

You also basically lose a Speed dropper on one hand, but on the other, they buff Speed less when sides are moving

[signal nest]

Thank you! I was able to clear both stages

[marble portal]

has anyone used SS Gladion for the Anabel EBE?

[lunar sedge]

Lots

Many can assure you gladion does not care about wise entry x2 with the right comp

[small basin]

its wise entry x3

[solar stirrup]

The point is you still beat Anabel easily with SS Gladion

[small basin]

can confirm yea

[rich heron]

Wise entry 3 still got defeated by nc red

[solar stirrup]

It's NC Red

[rich heron]

[small basin]

[warm haven]

I just need a good damage roll

[snow spruce]

Thats, uh, an interesting team

[low coral]

Jesus, this guy's damage is so bad lol

@hearty cedar but you'll like this

Had to go almost to Anabel's third sync

[river prawn]

Steven dps build

[warm haven]

yess

[arctic mist]

Can I please get some further assistance with these three stages?

[solar stirrup]

Ngl NC Leaf NC Silver and Arc Steven should not have taken me 3 tries to clear the nc kanto trio

But in my defense, I didn't know nc red's sync turns on hail so man just tanked my nc silvers hits for the next year and i was forced to change weather after nc red syncs with nc silver

[lunar sedge]

Oh lmfao

The fucking DC strategy one-shot the EBE

[warm haven]

at least i could pull this out

[daring nova]

Kanto team?
I prefer Bonjour team.
Nice Moltres LA gimmicks lol

[novel fog]

Try to oneshot Evelyn tomorrow

Gonna be such a free UB for SS Gladion havers

[solar stirrup]

how did you survive nc red's moves with nc blue

[daring nova]

Pretty easy tbh, skill gear helped, Moltres was more dangerous, after Red’s sync I used Blue’s max move to change weather

[solar stirrup]

kinda unrelatable for me since I just decided to do a funny thing and used nc silver

[solar stirrup]

I thought you just used 3/5 nc blue and ice guard
