Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

[opal raptor]

Genuinely, so rude

[buoyant tide]

sygna hilbert is another i wish i had but thats bc i literally only got my first guzma like. within the past week

my bug roster is crying

[opal raptor]

Aren’t the general pool Bug types really bad?

[buoyant tide]

i mean

[opal raptor]

Or is that outdated info?

[buoyant tide]

yes and no

bad in this game is always somewhat conditional

bc like

[true lagoon]

they got a lot better once guzma got his pb

but its still lacking in comparison to other types

[opal raptor]

What’s a pb?

[true lagoon]

power boost

side tiles

[opal raptor]

Ahh

[buoyant tide]

i was not expecting bugsy to have a sync nuke worthwhile enough for dc stuff to not be pitiful

[opal raptor]

What’s dc-?

[buoyant tide]

damage challenge

[opal raptor]

Ahhh

[buoyant tide]

the 'training with [rival]'

that cycles every few days

[true lagoon]

hes been used for cs too

its a strong nuke but needs full offensive baby sitting

[buoyant tide]

yeah, hes 100% a glass cannon but

pheromosa is the only bug genpool i would actively describe as bad

bc theres just no way she doesnt die to a stiff breeze

[opal raptor]

Which is a shame, cuz I love Lusamine

[true lagoon]

she has endure on tm

and

uh

that’s it

not to mention her moves are shitty cuz they gave her stupid attack stats

[buoyant tide]

but like

[true lagoon]

cuz this was still like year 1

[buoyant tide]

aaron is amazing

[true lagoon]

so they had to actually be balanced

[opal raptor]

Did she ever get a pb, or is there still hope she can somehow be saved in the future?

[true lagoon]

she hasnt gotten one yet

[buoyant tide]

lmao yeah talk about a throwback

[true lagoon]

but hers will presumably be further down the line

cuz they havent even gone through all year 1 units yet

[opal raptor]

Maybe she can be good in the future hopefully, cuz I want to see my girl succeed

[true lagoon]

like brendan and olivia dont have one

[buoyant tide]

also yeah every pokemon masters day (25th of the month) one unit gets a pb/grid expansion

[true lagoon]

well her bp is good

lilligant to be more specific

one of the few f2p weather setters

[buoyant tide]

she succeeded with her necrozma sygna suit my god

talk aboit a glow up

[opal raptor]

I’ve heard her Sygna Suit is also good, just outclassed nowadays since apparently Psychic is a very over stacked type in this game

[true lagoon]

she succeeded in beating our asses in her ebe

[buoyant tide]

also yeah the lilligant is great

[true lagoon]

like girl what the fuck

i had ti literally ko gladion before he used fleur cannon to win

which requires a lot of rng

with broken ass units

😭

[buoyant tide]

its so funny to watch this game repeat what happened in the mainline games wrt psychic as a type

[opal raptor]

I’m just glad I was able to actually do those events, that would’ve been 1,500 gemmies I would have had to miss

[buoyant tide]

DUDE IVE HAD TO GAMBLE ON FLEUR MISSES

rika buddy move to clear his acc buff and pray he misses are the only runs ive gotten anywhere close

[paper mural]

SSLusa found power again in dc 3v3 bc in there aoe > st.

[buoyant tide]

oh yeah, she has expanded reach after sync right?

[opal raptor]

Rika seems like a really good unit tbh. Fun at the very least

[buoyant tide]

so she was just outputting crazy damage

[true lagoon]

she doesnt

but she buffs the team

with every attack

which is extremely bad

[buoyant tide]

ah ok

oh wait ur talking about ebe i was following up on david

[true lagoon]

alola ebe is really pre sync or die honestly

oh

you mean the unit

[buoyant tide]

also aha my power just went out

[true lagoon]

yeah she has aoe after sync

[opal raptor]

idk how I beat Alola on the first try with Solgaleo Lillie tbh, that one is nuts 😭

[true lagoon]

necrozma ate it

[buoyant tide]

real

[true lagoon]

[buoyant tide]

heard me talkin shit

[paper mural]

Also other 2 genpool bug got powerboost and make them at least not atrocious anymore. Og Lusa sadly is still atrocious tho.

[buoyant tide]

i personally just use viola a lot bc even if shes weak as hell shes a great tech

trap and guaranteed aoe -spatk every attack is genuienly very helpful even if her damage itself is pitiful

ive also heard burgh is ok but i have never touched him tbh

so yeah bug could definitely be worse off

now ice

[paper mural]

Hala and Ghetsis exist.

[buoyant tide]

pryce remains my best ice unit

and somehow brycen remains my most used bc of haze

ice is out here begging for scraps of the actually good ice types (the seasonals and mfs)

[opal raptor]

My friend said that Ground and Poison used to be the most desperate types in the game due to barely any options and most options being limited time

[paper mural]

The issue of ice is that the hardest content (Nita) is intended for 2 mfs combined, but in general most other ice contents were handled by Ghestis and Hala just fine iirc.

[buoyant tide]

poison got a huge boost from geeta being released, was def struggling before that

lucy was also a new unit for me coming back to the game and shes been one of my prefered poi units

they also just learned to expand poison more so that non-poison units could inflict it, which meant we got better diveristy within the poi units bc it wasnt just every one has to be about inflicting the status

i went hard for ball guy and didnt get him when he cycled in recently, hes a pf poison but has no actual poisoning in his kit at all

[paper mural]

Poison is the odd one. Many f2p poison units are intended for poison stall. While they are godsend in CS, they are pretty BAD outside there.

[buoyant tide]

or well

he has effecf spore but thats only 1/3 chance of poison

klara is also really neat for a unit concept where she has poison in her moves but her kit is much more about other effects

[paper mural]

Nope I think it's a common misconception. Oleana and SS Roxie are doing fine on their own before Geeta.

[buoyant tide]

really? roxie and piers sure ill own up to forgetting they predated geeta but i didnt realize oleana was so valuable

[paper mural]

Oleana is a godly offensive debuffer and is a precise one unlike Geeta being random.

[buoyant tide]

oh right oleana is venom drench

god i wish we had more venom drench units

its such a fun way to solve a fight

[opal raptor]

Hope she reruns eventually. Really want a lot of Master Fairs cuz they look fun

[half silo]

i finally beat it with articuno dying to sandstorm LMAO

i think someone posted a video here earlier with ingo/emmet/steven build so uh thank you to that person you really saved my life

poor stoutland lived with like 3% hp

[zinc stirrup]

Are there any guides that recommend UB strategies by amount of RNG involved? I’m trying to find some low randomness strats because I don’t have the patience for the high RNG wins.

[fleet jackal]

the low RNG ones often require MFs at high investment (3/5 up)

try checking the recent clear to get a brief look at what units can clear and how much investment is needed

[lunar sedge]

[worthy meadow]

Is there any Google Sheets for the the region Extreme Battles or I'm just not seeing it?

[forest root]

Sync pair tracker is being weird for me. So I’ll probably just put down my units in here by type

[valid raft]

Not updated yet

[forest root]

I’m just stumped on what’d be my best bets for all the ultimate battles

[stable tundra]

checking the pins to see which clears you can replicate is the fastest way

[mighty relic]

I'm a returning player and I'm struggling, can I clear some top tier regional teams with these sync pairs?

[bitter lance]

Does anyone know how to beat evelyn i tried using SS gladion 3/5 penny 2/5 and NC blue 3/5 but my SS gladion always get critted at second sync

[stable tundra]

give him Vigilance

[bitter lance]

I'm not sure about doing that because it could effect his damage

I guess it worth a shoot should i nab every sync boost on his grid then ?

[stable tundra]

That's the only way to keep him alive

When you can not clear her before the second sync

[low coral]

https://youtu.be/QoTja9WZfwM?si=QigIsIJ5sc0AL7pY the Arc Lance propaganda campaign has begun

[weary totem]

does anybody know if the Hyper Beam in Evelyn's UB is dragon-shifted?

penny has teamwide dragon guard at 2/5 but im not sure if it covers the thing that blows her up (said Hyper Beam)

[low coral]

It's not, it just does Normal damage

[weary totem]

darn

[fading walrus]

Yeah if it did I'd have won with penny volo ssmina

Dragon guard + team dragon guard would've gutted the output

Instead HB melts at sync 5 or so

[shrewd marten]

ooh nice

[tulip stream]

I think this clear is striaght up impossible now

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_cdr7c64OWE

You cant queue up anything after wide guard anymore

i think at some point DENA made a update that changed which order passives activated?

[tulip stream]

nvm

apparently it works just fine when you kill the sides

[warm haven]

only when you kill the sides?

[tulip stream]

oh yeah you can quadqueue when its just machamp left

bc the poliwrath will queue x atk if its still alive

[tall escarp]

Evelyn was easier than expected

Good, we already have one out of control sister

[snow spruce]

Evelyn isnt hard but she basically FORCES to have a Spatk debuffer, on any comp
I dont think she is doable without SpAtk debuffs

[warm haven]

that looks like it's because of the gauge, not because of the instant queue

[boreal abyss]

You can still but you need to be frame perfect

Back when I used Mr Anni Stove to clear that UB at day 1 the main reason for me taking time to record it was the fact I was constantly missing that perfect timing to quad queue after wide guard

[nocturne arch]

Now I forgot how to beat unova top tier challenge

It’s recommending individual strats

Fairly wish on N
Sun on Hilbert
Rain on Hilda.

I have to keep SS Wally for wish but how about sun and rain?

What’s on use for weather? Double damage? Debuffs?

[valid raft]

No Field Effect: Def. x3 and Sp. Def. x3

[nocturne arch]

This is what I been using. I try using sun, but It didn’t do anything

[stable tundra]

Wally only has 2 uses of zone, replace him

Or replace Rosa with a WTZ support

[nocturne arch]

WTZ?

[stable tundra]

The point is always maintaining at least a WTZ active

[nocturne arch]

What’s that

[stable tundra]

Weather/zone/terrain

[valid raft]

A.K.A
A field that directly affects the enemy

Whether it be WTZ or damage field on the enemy

[nocturne arch]

Is SS Morty fine?

[stable tundra]

Yes ofc

[valid raft]

He should be fine other than boosting SS Hilda's damage

[snow spruce]

@low coral have you already done Nita with Arc Lance ? if yes - what team ?

[low coral]

Not yet

If I do, it's for sure with Irida

He's just not good against her

[shrewd marten]

That feels like cheating

[low coral]

Yeah

[shrewd marten]

I’d try something but unfortunately I chose Steven to give the candies and pity to

Hmm

[warm haven]

use eggmon lapras

[shrewd marten]

I can’t think of any speed debuffers that don’t just carry the stage (nc cheren)

That could pair alongside lance

[stable tundra]

[warm haven]

dojo gloria

[low coral]

Because the game doesn't have good Speed buffers to the level Nita needs

Almost everyone needs a core, not one unit

And almost of them are not supports

Dojo Gloria is just hopeless as a solo debuffer

[true lagoon]

would variety lyra work or is she still nowhere close to enough

[low coral]

She's good vs Nita, but no one has 3/5 Variety Lyra

[shrewd marten]

[true lagoon]

true…

[fading walrus]

Not even, it's just a strat for specific queues, it doesn't have to be sides kill

[tulip stream]

believe me ive tried. the Sides NEED to be dead for this particular queue

[fading walrus]

https://youtu.be/8bRAVhNGZxE?si=1DxUuZfY6-laPc8r

0:48

My Lana blocks and queues water gun before they queue the move after EQ

And both sides are alive

[tulip stream]

Already cleared it

[nocturne arch]

Alright how can I beat galar top tier?

There’s are the ice type I have

[valid raft]

Read the pins for the gimmicks

[pallid badger]

You have some really good ice pairs

[spice frost]

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

Is there anyone to replace teirno for this team? I don't have his move level up high enough

[exotic dome]

Maybe Lenora? Idk

[spice frost]

I don't have her unfortunately, I'm just going to throw my head against the wall until I beat it lol

[river prawn]

Any premium support that lowers defenses?

[spice frost]

I have NC leaf but I can't stay alive long enough

[river prawn]

You can slot in NC Leaf instead of Bertha, and then a defensive support instead of Tierno

[spice frost]

But what about the weather then?

[river prawn]

Is your NC Leaf 3/5?

[spice frost]

No 1/5

[river prawn]

What about your supports?

[spice frost]

I have tapu fini

[river prawn]

That is pretty good for weather

Then you need someone instead of Bertha that debuffs defenses

Like Colress

[spice frost]

I have colress at 4/5
So
Colress gordie and mina should work?

[river prawn]

You cover all the gimmicks

I think it should

[spice frost]

All right, thanks! 💗

[buoyant tide]

I FINALLY CLEARED ALOLA

per what i accidentally sent in #1128052735967764621
rika with +1 eva and -2 from enemy evasion after bmove just dodged both prismatic laser 2 AND fleur cannon consecutively. that is 100% the reason i was able to clear

now its just can i clear anabel ebe....

[snow spruce]

did 3 more, Argenta was almost just as easy as Darach. 4 total now.
Thats it for this team most likely, Giovanni wasnt possible and for Noland I think its needed to kill steal a turn from the left side, but havent been able to do that yet.

[olive hull]

I still need to clear Alola. How do I do it?

[stable tundra]

you need a rebuffer who can lower rebuff more than once if you can't pre sync

[olive hull]

Example teams?

[stable tundra]

better send your roster here

[stable tundra]

adding separators would be helpful for next times

alright, lemme see

[olive hull]

Oh that's true

[stable tundra]

you have a lot of 2/5 supports that turn into a monster at 3/5 like Elaine, NC Rosa, Iono, Rika, NC Blue...

can try NC Blue, NC Marnie and Cerena, save a Cerena's B Move for lowering Lusamine's Dark rebuff right after her sync

[olive hull]

Yeah that was looking like the best I had for that requirement

The defense though. What do I do to keep up with the onslaught of extremely powerful attacks?

[stable tundra]

Blue should handle that

enemies get their attacks boosted when your spdef is below 0, keep that in mind

[olive hull]

Needs someone who can raise it every turn to keep up

[stable tundra]

that's NC Blue's job

[olive hull]

He's at -6 spdef

[sage otter]

I'm tryna beat Battle a Serious Anabel part 2, but don't really understand why she's so tough. Is it the weather?

[stable tundra]

at 3/5 he has Impervious to deal with that

as well as spatk debuff

[stable tundra]

yes, you must change weather and debuff her atk

[olive hull]

Oh...

[stable tundra]

and only Fairy and Paldea pairs receive stat boosts

[olive hull]

This battle is the cruelest of all

[sage otter]

Yeah--I have no Paldea pairs, and my Fairy options are ... not great.

[stable tundra]

can you show me your available roster?

[sage otter]

I don't have that ready to go, no. I only play on mobile and haven't updated that one site thingie that everyone here recommends. :/

I can try to screenshot my Fairy group, of that would help.

if*

[stable tundra]

an ingame screenshot is enough

[stable tundra]

it kinda looks rough

[sage otter]

I got ROFL-stomped with this team.No weather change of anything

[stable tundra]

the stage also asks for physical dmg, so special dmg dealers will struggle

btw do you have NC Leaf?

[sage otter]

Yep. Lisia is about it for that.

[sage otter]

I do not.

[stable tundra]

1/5 needs a lot of help

not to mention accuracy issue

[sage otter]

I have Oleana for debuffs, if that would help?

[stable tundra]

your 1/5 SS Mina also doesn't enable others

[stable tundra]

she dies from the first sync

[sage otter]

I figured. :/

I have some candies, but don't want to blow those just to get a couple hundred gems or w/e

[stable tundra]

good thinking

unfortunately i don't see any chance to clear this EBE

[stable storm]

is your syca power boosted @sage otter

can you ex bp val

[sage otter]

OK. Well--I can skip it. I already do for most Extreme content. Perhaps for obvious reasons. 😉

[stable storm]

do you have 3/5 bertha

that you can ex

there's a f2p clear for this

[sage otter]

I probably do. Lemme check. No EX.

I have Beetha at 5/5, but no EX yet.

Is that super useful here?

[stable tundra]

there is a f2p clear involving the aforementioned 3

but that requires 2 EX investments and good skill gears

[stable storm]

I think it's doable without gears but requires very good rng

[sage otter]

Oh. lol Uh... my gear is not tuned. A lot of those rainbow feathers, but only yellow feathers beyond that.

[stable tundra]

you need a skill pin with high stats

rainbow feathers won't help with that because the stats are always locked to +70 hp +20 speed

[olive hull]

I'm basically relying on flinch and miss luck to win. NC Blue cannot keep up his spdef. I can't believe 3/5 is required for this battle

[sage otter]

I mean... I've seen like 3 or 4 pins since they started using them. I doubt I'm using them optimally. I just try for synergy in the qualifiers.

[stable tundra]

just aim for high stats

[sage otter]

OK. I appreciate the advice, folks. Thanks all!

[sage otter]

Oh--what was that f2p clear ypu mentioned? Is there a link for that?

[stable tundra]

here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TB4f1bDvVU

[sage otter]

Thank you!

[olive hull]

This just doesn't cut it. What else could I try?

[stable tundra]

do you have a candy for 3/5 Blue? it's a great investment overall

[olive hull]

I do, yeah

Now what's the grid I should use?

Gah, I still can't believe I had to do that. Literally unwinnable without a 3/5 Master Fair. Insane.

[stable tundra]

Impervious + 2 debuff tiles

[olive hull]

Which one is that?

[stable tundra]

check the top right quadrant out

[olive hull]

Do I need to drop attack?

Man, and if you don't pre-sync, which you can't, they're all unkillable walls

[stable tundra]

there is a reason i told you to save Cerena's rebuffs for the post sync

[olive hull]

Awful battle. Still gonna write a complaint. Keep this slop with the other Ultimate battles in a menu I never have to look at.

Thanks for the help

[fading walrus]

UBs aren't f2pable

These are

[stable storm]

ummm akshually 4 ubs are f2pable

🤓

[fading walrus]

Well yeah, but not all

And 1 of those 4 is really annoying to get

[stable storm]

which one

[fading walrus]

The Noland one, requiring so many sync crits and rolls, plus mpr wide guard

[distant estuary]

Cleared Evelyn thanks to air dealer's template team, Arc Steven's support capabilities is on other level imo

[hearty cedar]

Nc.rosa, nc.nate, c.iris

Evelyn wiped my team at 20%. So close

If only I had nc.blue and arc lance

[lunar sedge]

Time to start coping for MC Blue from daily?

[fading walrus]

Mg2 iris?

[tulip stream]

just barely managed to clear

running out of electric terrain is a very real concern

only one i have any hopes of clearing left is argenta

[cosmic token]

3/5 VKris is quite handy at times.

[tulip stream]

love using her in LG

unfortunately not very useful outside of that

[cosmic token]

She was a ringer in Hau EBE.

[hearty cedar]

Dc2

[harsh owl]

Need help with the EBE Anabel, these are the only units with bonus i got

[buoyant ice]

Soo... i kind of want to finish ultimate challenges now cause i need gems for lance.. with that said, what do y'all think it's the "easiest" team for nita? I got basic 3 star ice gears and do have stuff EXR NC Red/ EXR NC Blue/ Irida... even SS Silver 5/5 and aura cynthia lel

[stable tundra]

can you get BP Valerie and EX her? do you have NC Leaf, SS Morty or Bertha invested?

[stable tundra]

i recommend checking the pins for the NC red/NC Blue/Irida clear and following it

you may want to invest in skill gears to make things easier to get through

[buoyant ice]

i've tried following many teams before and failed to reach sandstorm % at the right time.. for hours, that's why i'm asking which y'all think it's the "easiest" team to follow basically... shortest and easiest to follow I remember was one with NC Bianca, but for some reason i couldn't reach the threshold like in the vid.. same with a NC Bede one...

so wondering if anyone here had a "nice experience" mimicking a specific video.

[stable tundra]

skill gear differences probably

the NC Red is already the easiest team to get through

[paper mural]

I don't think any other teams will work better than Irida + NC red. They are ontype so they will be the easiest.

[stable tundra]

sadly timing is a crucial factor of beating UBs, especially the hard one like Nita

[buoyant ice]

yeah i followed step by step even on x1 speed which made the loss even more painful

cause it took so long lol

[stable tundra]

there is no other way to get the timing right other than to keep practicing

[buoyant ice]

more rng (or gear) than timing since i followed the videos exactly by literally queing at x1 speed and turning off my screen to make sure my ques were exactly the same but sure... sad there is no "easier" team.

anyways, ty for your responses.

guess i just gotta keep spamming and hope for a "higher" damage rng or something

[paper mural]

Ig you can check this. They said this is a consistent win for them w/o much rng. #1009557516369281075 message

[buoyant ice]

appreciate it, i'll def give it a shot

[harsh owl]

Fairly "New" as in played for one stint and took a very long time so i dont think ill be able to really. Dont have any of the Neo Champs as i fell upon harder gem counts and i took my hiatus shortly after.

[harsh owl]

I do got SSMorty and Irida though. Getting SSNemona (one multi away) , dont know if that'll help at all but i like her.

[stable tundra]

that stage is designed for her, so definitely wait

make sure to get her before she leaves

[harsh owl]

Will do, got Bertha partially invested though if there's a strategy involving her

[harsh owl]

Rip only 2/5

[stable tundra]

you don't need Bertha when you have SS Nemona

her sand confilicts with Nemona's sun

you can try Penny tanking, SS Morty and SS Nemona

[nocturne arch]

i try using this team but the other 2 didnt have enough sp def after one sync attack

[harsh owl]

I know im just saying.

[stable tundra]

get rid of Leon and Dana asap

[nocturne arch]

ok i replace leon to ss N but now what unit i can replace on dana?

[stable tundra]

someone who buffs team spdef aggressively

be careful with SS N, as he is awkward to use if you are not familiar with his move rotation

[nocturne arch]

Yeah I noticed that I have to do freeze shock first to unlock the roar move

[stable tundra]

you can use a strong offtype dmg dealer instead

[nocturne arch]

Can reí works?

[stable tundra]

Galar's EBE is much tougher than i thought, and i forgot one of their gimmicks

can you send your whole roster here again?

[nocturne arch]

Ok

[buoyant ice]

holy sh, first try, this video is goated

should be first on the pins

ty!

i know the sheet is there to help.. but tried replicating at least 5 teams videos, that one is goat though 💯

[paper mural]

Your video is totally still.
Also I believe ppl want to see separate screenshots or sync pair tracker instead of a video.

[nocturne arch]

Still? Hold on

https://youtube.com/shorts/UZZFnk_tVsk?si=B1tokfscMWjEgmie

[nocturne arch]

I think I don’t want to screenshot the units. Because it’s using up of my storage.

Now can you see it?

[raven wharf]

Jeez how much how does he have

[formal matrix]

Trying an arc Lance clear on Evelyn. He kills center really quick but the sides are so annoying

[real robin]

Anyone have the link to the F2p anabel Extreme battle using Bertha comp? Cant seem to clear it. Have a bunch of master fair and the new anni trio but sadly no SS Nemona. Or any tips greatly appreciated

[solar stirrup]

@real robin (sorry for double ping, on mobile rn)

[real robin]

ty! No I really appriciate it. Have a good weekend and thanks again

[fading walrus]

Why, you need the Spdef drops for her not get multipliers

[hearty cedar]

Wait what?

She only has multipliers for sp.atk right?

[fading walrus]

I thought it was Atk, spatk and Spdef

[hearty cedar]

Its only for sp.atk iirc

Not having nc.blue is being a pain for this clear

I'm now confident that nc.blue, nc.nate and arc lance will clear this ub for sure but unfortunately I cant do that comp

Maybe I should candy my arc steven, then I'll be able to do it

[hearty cedar]

Yes

[pliant cove]

can 3 arc pairs do Evelynn's UB? what is her ub quirk?

[calm sand]

Fluid Fortification

Evelyn’s Latios gets a 90% damage multiplier (both DPS and sync) when having a special attack buff
Same for the side Hydreigon and Dragapult, but with sp.def and physical attack respectively

[pliant cove]

Ah i see, i guess Arc Lance can be replaced with either C!Iris or Anni N right?

[stable tundra]

what move level are your arc pairs?

depending on their move level Cynthia or Lance will be replaced

[pliant cove]

Arc Cyn is 3/5 and Arc Steven is 2/5 (can be 3/5 by next week reset)

[stable tundra]

i would wait for 3/5 Steven before tackling Evelyn

Lance is out then

give everyone beside Steven Vigilance

[pliant cove]

so its C!Iris, Arc Cyn, Arc Steven

[stable tundra]

yea

[pliant cove]

what particular grid should i aim for?

[stable tundra]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/9004/37600?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBgcLDRARFRYbHC8wMQ i would recommend this if you could afford +2 energy

can go for Aggravation route instead of Endure Again but that requires +4

[pliant cove]

Ah i see, i was thinking of aggravation as well. I can definitely afford +6

tysm!

[stable tundra]

good luck

[proven dagger]

finally did the unova ebe

somehow found it the hardest

used ss morty, nc red, nc blue

having none of the good fairy units probably didnt help

[true lagoon]

also doesnt help that you buffed hilda’s searing shot

[proven dagger]

it honestly didnt do that much damage

just had to hope the paralyse didnt stop blue from healing

[true lagoon]

surprising cuz it literally took my ss gladion to like 20%

[proven dagger]

or to waste all the sunny day mp

probably something better i couldve used but doesnt really matter

bane of only playing for a few months a year since launch lmao

[low coral]

https://youtu.be/DkmgHB4NXCc?si=8Lj_KFO_zuY7hZi3 part 2 of the campaign for Arc Lance, now with Rain Argenta

[shrewd marten]

Just pretend Steven isn’t there

Also

Why does jp steven actually say metagross

Or something that sounds like it

But en says partner

[low coral]

I could run something else

But I already plan on using Blue more than Steven alongside Lance

So it would be boring to put him there

While SS Morty would just make it too easy

Or Acerola

[shrewd marten]

Waow

Why blue more than Steven tho

Also that relentless sync nuke is bonkers holy damage

[low coral]

Because Blue works better in general, gives SMUN for Zerena and B Hyper Beam, gives Kanto Flag Bearer, doesn't mess all quads (resulting in faster SMUN accumulation)

Also boosts Speed to guarantee queues on every single rotation

Anabel is also meant to work with Techdos, which Steven couldn't buff

[shrewd marten]

Blue only has 2 smun tho

[low coral]

And Lance only has one B Hyper Beam

[shrewd marten]

So you’re saying that 2 is worth more than the bunch of pmun for giga impact

[low coral]

Considering the point of the runs, yes

Since mid is done when Hyper Beam happens

I can get to +8 or +10 SMUN much, much faster

Also I don't need to sync with Blue to get the AoE healing

So even more SMUN early

[shrewd marten]

Wait where did all that smun come from

[low coral]

Lance gets +2 PMUN and SMUN every sync

[shrewd marten]

Oh

I didn’t know that

That a 3/5 thing

[low coral]

Yeah, that's why it's valuable to not get the quads missed

[shrewd marten]

I see

[haughty venture]

Heyy I desperately need help clearing Nita's blessed land. Could I get some advice?

She's the only ultimate battle I haven't been able to clear

Would it be alr if I send ss of my units?

[fast pendant]

+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

[fast pendant]

if you can send with this, would make it easier

[haughty venture]

Alr!

Btw would it be necessary to fill out the free pairs too?

I mean the

Regular rotation pairs?

[shrewd marten]

All pairs could potentially help(move levels are important)

Though I guess for nita you’ll probably not use them

[uncut drum]

Yooo let's go

Lance definitely wants 4/5 for this I guess

[shrewd marten]

Relentless

Need that

But realistically just get a sun setter

It’s not that hard

[uncut drum]

Sure, but like at that point what's the point of the showcase

Argenta is rather easy compared to some of the other but in rain she's a lot tougher

I wait for the day someone brute forces Anabel (never gonna happen)

Even Nita got brute forced in a sand team

[vernal sluice]

Maybe that will happen when Arc Fire pair appear. Nita is brute forcable partly because Arc Ground Cynthia give team ground rebuff up, which lessen ground move and sync damage.

[uncut drum]

Maybe, but Anabel is brutal in sun and has a lot more health than Nita

Also much stronger attack stat

[haughty venture]

These are my pairs

[sour elk]

About 1.26x more offensive stats than Nita with 2.4x sun multiplier rather than 1.9x, so about 1.6x more damage for Sun Anabel vs Sand speed-less Nita

But Nita has Hyperbeam, that's double BP of Anabel's moves but thankfully she doesn't spam that

[uncut drum]

Eruption is gonna be devestating

Sun boosted eruptions are so bad

[sour elk]

I think NC Leaf plus Arc Fire would have a decent shot, but that Arc Fire would need team sunny DR passives or something, definitely a tall order

I wonder if it would be cheating to disable sun around Eruption's timing and then setting up later

[low coral]

Sand is also Nita's secondary gimmick, not primary

Sun is giving Anabel other stuff, like damage reduction and team healing

[uncut drum]

You have NC Red, Arc Steven and SS Kris. These 3 should probably do the job

[haughty venture]

Fr?

I'll try them out

[uncut drum]

Nita heals in sand too

But yeah she doesn't have dr passives in sand

[low coral]

Not team

[uncut drum]

Wait actually no. You need a speed debuffer

[low coral]

Anabel's Sunbathe 9 is AoE

[haughty venture]

Oh

:c

[low coral]

And even at that, Anabel also has the advantage of being Team Sunbathe 9, not Healing Sun / Soothing Sand, so her trainer moves also activate it

[sour elk]

I guess Sun Anabel is still the most threatening foe, not defeatable through brute force alone

[low coral]

Well, not guess

She's probably worse than Speed boosted Nita even

[uncut drum]

I think SST Red might work but he's ground weak to be careful

[low coral]

You can't even flinch Anabel under sun while Ninetales isn't KOed

[sour elk]

Nita restricts team building by demanding a strong speed debuffer specifically, but Anabel also restricts a lot with that fluid fortification

[haughty venture]

He gets two tapped by earthquakes

[low coral]

Her stats are much higher than Nita's too

[uncut drum]

Part of the reason why I hate Anabel's UB so much. Even counters are not gonna have an easy time with her

[sour elk]

Her sides have way lower health, but I guess team healing adjusts for that

[sour elk]

Even despite the 3x defenses? That would make Nita and her sides way bulkier than Anabel, while having about the same offensive power via higher multipliers

Ah wait I forgot about sun innately boosting those fire moves, yeah Sun Anabel's output is insane

[uncut drum]

Red has good healing, and you should try to set up but using flinches with Steven or even with Red himself. Alt Leon might work but you need to buy time for him to debuff with flinches

[true lagoon]

so nita is more restrictive but anabel is much harder to brute force?

[uncut drum]

Pretty much yeah

[fast pendant]

I don't think Anabel is harder to brute force, 'cause nobody is brute forcing Nita as well

Brute forcing Nita would be not dealing with sand nor speed

Specially speed

[uncut drum]

Well if you go by that route then brute forcing Anabel is impossible since you can't ignore both sun and fluid fortification

[vernal sluice]

Well if the Arc Fire pair somehow also has piercing blow

Which is actually not impossible if Red & Charizard.

He would need piercing blow on sync too though.

[forest aurora]

Finally! Beat my first Ultimate battle. Lucy down, many others to go.

Turns out the biggest difficulty I had was rolling for antitoxin Cookies for Irida. So many gone down the drain…

[eternal yacht]

I know this is a stupid question Lmao. But can this roster have a chance against Anabel in the events page?

[valid raft]

BP Valerie requires EX and investments

[valid raft]

I'm guessing no Paldea units

[eternal yacht]

No I don't have them yet....

[valid raft]

You have Bertha?

[fading walrus]

All arc pairs call out their Mons in sync animation

In JP

[valid raft]

I mean even Lance calls out Dragonite in EN

[eternal yacht]

No but I'm desperately trying to get some ground type

I just have Hapu and Clay as of now

[valid raft]

Anabel requires a weather replacer

And an attack debuffer

[hearty cedar]

You recording all arc lance runs?

[fading walrus]

I don't know as I don't play eng

[eternal yacht]

Can May and Swampert help?

I think they have rain dance

[valid raft]

Not sure TBH

[eternal yacht]

Hmm

[stable tundra]

Looks outright impossible to me

Bertha is needed for atk debuff too

[eternal yacht]

What about SS Nemona?

I haven't scouted her out yet, but I'm pretty sure that I might get her before her run ends

[stable tundra]

Do not try to get her if you don't have a pity for her

Wasting multis of gems just to get 600 gems does not benefit you at the end

[eternal yacht]

Yeah that's a good point

[paper mural]

If you want her anyway regardless of this ebe it's another story.

[stable storm]

what move levels because I am pretty sure that ice zapdos beats every ub

[eternal yacht]

Hmm

I think I'll actually save diamonds

[fading walrus]

When in doubt

Save

Also stage 1 might be clearable with some brain racking

So it might be 300 gems only

[eternal yacht]

Yeah

Also is SS Nemona one time?

[stable storm]

wdym one time

[eternal yacht]

I mean after this run, would she be available somehow in future?

[paper mural]

I rmb they still lack Thorton clear, but ppl think it's possible.

[eternal yacht]

Like Ash Ketchum and TR

[fading walrus]

No, all banners eventually rerun

Ash and TR are an anime thing

[true lagoon]

except for ash

[fading walrus]

That's why they don't rerun

[paper mural]

Irida buffs Thorton's attack while NC Blue is weak to ice is really tough tho.

[eternal yacht]

I see

Thank you

I'm someone who is new to this game, so I'm still learning some things

[fading walrus]

Dw

It's normal

Some banners do take a year or more to rerun

[eternal yacht]

I see

[fading walrus]

But it's normal when there's so many units

[eternal yacht]

Hmm

[fading walrus]

There's always gonna be units you might wanna get

But you need to set a priority list

So that you won't miss a unit you ABSOLUTELY want when needed

[eternal yacht]

Yeah. For now I'm actually in need of ground type unit lol

[fading walrus]

By saving up gems

[eternal yacht]

Hapu and Clay aren't of much help in ground type events....

I'm trying to level them up for now lol

[eternal yacht]

Yep

[fading walrus]

Well yeah ground has some of the worst f2p rosters

But you can always offtype most ground weak content

[eternal yacht]

I heard Courtney is good

[eternal yacht]

Yes

[fading walrus]

She's amazing but needs 3/5 and possibly ex to shine so for new players it can take a while

[eternal yacht]

I tried getting Arc suit Cynthia, but she's difficult to get

My scout points have reached to 190, so I have given up on her for now

[eternal yacht]

I see

[fading walrus]

Yeah you should scout only when you know you can guarantee the character

Because those 190 points are now gone forever

[eternal yacht]

Yep, I mean when Marnie and Moltres were having a run, I got them in the first multi

[fading walrus]

Which is a waste

[eternal yacht]

Yes

[fading walrus]

Yeah, you can't always bank on getting lucky

[eternal yacht]

Yes

[fading walrus]

Getting lucky when you have no gems is great but getting lucky when you have a stack of gems as backup is even better as you can save up even more

It just takes a bit to get there

[eternal yacht]

Exactly!

[snow spruce]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fHh2Fpebw
Arc Duo duo on Evelyn was possible after all
thats 7 UB duos for them now

[open bay]

Why can't you just stay paralysed I hit you with 8 thunders 💀

[valid raft]

I have a vid bruh

[open bay]

I may be stupid

💀

[paper mural]

Ash's dps is weak confirmed

[fading walrus]

It's definitely not amazing when not shooting 1000 BP buddy

[high harbor]

Im almost beating evelyn with arc cynthia, oleana and nc rosa, but when I reach cynthia's 3rd sync, I run out of sandstorm pp to use

[craggy wind]

Matter of time before UB solo

[uncut drum]

Cynthia is fire weak, you probably shouldn't use her against Leon

[craggy wind]

[snow spruce]

hmm has anyone tried to solo Lucy with Arc Cynthia ? probably still a bit too much

[fading walrus]

Yeah not happening

ST sludge wave + shadow ball is harsh right away

Also, getting to sync with a wtz based unit in 1v3 is extremely harder than 2v3

[valid raft]

Dude, I literally completed Leon's UB with that team

[snow spruce]

Aura Cynthia is not ideal on Leon, but 3-rd anni trio should still do him easily if Red and Ash are both 3/5 (or at least Red at 3/5 EXR)

[uncut drum]

And? Doesn't change the fact she's not the best tank for Leon

Yeah 3rd anni team can obviously clear but it's so much easier if you replace SSA Cynthia with a tank who doesn't take super effective damage from his moves

[sweet bear]

any tips for Unova top tier team

[valid raft]

[sweet bear]

sorry

[craggy wind]

Not with current arc suits but future ones maybe

[warm haven]

i had to cheat with broken skill gears

[rich heron]

I want a team for Giovanni

I have 3/5 akari

[snow spruce]

from the thumbnail I thought that was Nita for a second (because she has the same rocky/desert terrain)

[warm haven]

i unironically would try nita if i had 4/5 steven

[snow spruce]

with that exact team ?

[rich heron]

I need one more coin for 3/5 sstr then I will end leon UB

[warm haven]

yes

they can stall the sandstorm and they would be very bulky

[fading walrus]

No NC blue?

Because 1/5 can beat Leon

[rich heron]

Yes I do

[rich heron]

Is there any video

[snow spruce]

Akari + your best haze/stat steal unit

[rich heron]

Have to ex ss Misty

[fading walrus]

I took it down but I can probably rerecord it

I used 1/5 celesa

[rich heron]

I have chase

[fading walrus]

As extra setter

Chase can't set eterrain

[rich heron]

I have 1/5 ss hau

[fading walrus]

Guess that's fine

It saves a terrain early ig

[rich heron]

Yes

Sstr is 2/5

[fading walrus]

I'll try to record it

Again

[rich heron]

Ok thx

[fading walrus]

Back then I had not EXR blue

So this should be much easier

[rich heron]

Oh

Same

Ig

[fading walrus]

Actually

The problem with SS hau

Is no guaranteed para

But I guess it's just a matter of lucking out a bit with hostile environment 2 blue

[rich heron]

Hai doesn't have anyhinh which can para ig

[fading walrus]

Yeah it definitely slows down the cycles

Guess you can just save the max move and then pray for HE2 proc on sides

[rich heron]

I saw a run of nc blue, sstr and chase

Where u can see clears of people

[fading walrus]

Well doubt that red was 1/5

[rich heron]

That video lost somewhere

It's not there mow

[rich heron]

Ye it was 3/5

Since then, I decided to 3/5 me sstr

[fading walrus]

https://youtu.be/fQytgz5VfdM?si=Ozaru3u2UIGUklku

Anyway

Here's my first run

Happy I recently fought Leon with a poison team so I remembered the gimmick and hp threshold

[river prawn]

Not having Leon statused all the time is not a death sentence

[rich heron]

I wonder if 1/5 ss hau can do something instead of c elesa

Coz elesa still has stats low

[uncut drum]

Fire team can beat Evelyn

[fading walrus]

That Omni drop barely matters tbfh

[uncut drum]

I tried Giovanni too but I think they can't debuff fast enough

[fading walrus]

Yeah the drawback of fire is the slow starting pace

And Vs a +12 stat TM that team chokes

And loses a lot of momentum

Unlike poison that can run Oleana

And or Geeta/SS Roxie

[uncut drum]

Yeah. I think with extra energy N can grab a tile that can allow him to debuff sp. attack twice but yeah they can't deal with Giovanni's buffs. At least Evelyn was possible

[uncut drum]

You could've used light screen earlier to soften damage from him but if it works it works

[fading walrus]

No real reason to risk it running out and fucking up my cycles

It's not like Leon was near killing blue at any given point

I really don't like screens or MGA running out as I'm about to sync

[fast pendant]

Fire team beating Giovanni should be no problem at all

[river prawn]

Would need some really tight rotations

And without endures...

[fast pendant]

well just don't use Morty

[river prawn]

Oh in that case yes

[snow spruce]

dont use anni N

[fast pendant]

that as well

[river prawn]

Put a flincher in there

Like Arc Steven, NC Blue

[fast pendant]

Arc Steven/ NC Blue, Mix Blue and NC Leaf should be plenty fine

[stable tundra]

Or 4/5 SS Hilda, but was real close

[fast pendant]

Mix Blue would be a better pick due to sun

[uncut drum]

Nah but the point of a fire team is only with fire units

Without it it's just a team with some fire type on it

I used this specific team on the past before too

[snow spruce]

Giovanni really wants either hazer or flincher/stunner
without either one its kinda bad

[uncut drum]

Yeah. I saw teams without it but they can't debuff fast enough. N does have piercing gaze to counter accurcy drops but it doesn't matter once Giovanni syncs and wipes them all from full health

[fast pendant]

Most "type" teams don't use 3 of the same type for best performance

[river prawn]

And when you say fire team, you don't really think Anni N

For a reason

[snow spruce]

first Gio sync isnt the main issue, you can just delay his 80% and first big buff until after first sync.
and then you flinch the EQ to delay it
at that point you need to kill him before 2-nd sync

[uncut drum]

I used Anni N because he's a fave. Besides, he was pretty important to debuff Evelyn. Blue or SS Hilda wouldn't have worked

Same is true for Giovanni. There's no fire unit in the game right now that can replace Anni N if you only want to use fire types. Maybe with EX R it could be different but idk

[snow spruce]

NC leaf can debuff Evelyn alone just fine, no ?

[low coral]

She'll probably struggle with SpA

[cobalt cliff]

Hi! To defeat Giovanni, it says he needs to be affected by field effect. Is that the same as sandstorm? Or needs to be something like Stealth rock?

[low coral]

Most units can't debuff Evelyn's SpA alone

[river prawn]

A flincher would help

[rich heron]

Anything works ig

Just need field effect

[river prawn]

Buy some time at the start to get -1

[cobalt cliff]

So a sandstorm Is a field effect? What about for example electric zone or Poisson zone?

[river prawn]

Also field effects

[cobalt cliff]

Ohh tyvm

[snow spruce]

weather
terrain
zone
damage field (like stealth rock yes)
stat buff block effect (like SC Zinnia does)

those field effects affect the enemy, they work

[rich heron]

Avery

[uncut drum]

She does

She also needs to use her B-move to kill Evelyn before 3rd sync, and while you can just spam leers with Leaf, you it's a lot worse

[nocturne arch]

I was trying out the johto top tier, I use ash SS leaf and bellelba. It’s somewhat doable because I took down the middle. But I have to to do the side next and I can only take down champion kris (if possible)

However, ash has good damage but not so much.

Again, here’s my full roster

https://youtube.com/shorts/UZZFnk_tVsk?si=p-eu9ayzq2e0KaG_

[warm haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I54OvuO-dc

lmao duo support evelyn

[fading walrus]

Well like Argenta, if you have enough recovery and debuffs you can really delay the loss

[warm haven]

but evelynn has an actual atk stat

[uncut drum]

They're just that bulky

[fading walrus]

Yeah I mean, people did this kind of strat to Giovanni before Steven was a thing

[formal matrix]

Now people have proved all supports team are available in UB and supports are just better in LA, time to see all support team challenging HSE

[fading walrus]

Well triple support teams been common since... Leon?

Aside ofc argenta

Duh

[warm haven]

that's cheating arc steven does more damage than his striker counterpart

ah well but actually arcs are "multi" role

[nocturne arch]

i also try out the aloan top tier, it’s required to do dark rebuff but i use 3 rebuff; flying fighting and psychic. For dark, i use Karen for good damage but….. nothing seems to work. 7k is small.

[fading walrus]

You're meant to rebuff just any type

Not specifically dark

And you also gotta remember they cleanse it post sync

[nocturne arch]

oh if you’re wondering about the other two i use champ rosa and cheren

[nocturne arch]

Yeah the type rebuff

I don’t think I can’t do alohn top teir because, without the dark rebuff I can’t beat it with or without type.

[cobalt cliff]

Any recommendation to defeat Giovanni UEB? I just managed to get till 25%

[gloomy edge]

Yes she can

[paper mural]

Any rebuff will work, not just dark rebuff.
Did you use up all your rebuff pre opponents' sync so you have no way to reapply a rebuff again post sync?

[nocturne arch]

Yes I did.

[uncut drum]

https://youtu.be/pFj7HzCLQNE

[solar stirrup]

Man could've saved me so much time if I used this team

[paper mural]

Try save 1 rebuff until the opponent sync, like never use NC Cheren's bmove until the opponent sync.

[low coral]

welp, my phone is dead, so two recordings of the Arc Lance propaganda campaign are gone and I can't record until I get a new one

[snow spruce]

F

what UBs and what teams were they?

[low coral]

I had recorded Palmer with Chase and Zerena, which is easy enough to do again

and Lucas + Blue on Leon, which is more annoying due to RNG

and was planning on recording Blue + Egg Gyarados on Anabel today

[warm haven]

damn that's sad

[modern portal]

What the hell happened?

[low coral]

the phone was old anyway (ROG Phone 2) and the glass was slightly broken (didn't get to the screen, but still, on the upper left part), just started to click everywhere randomly

but I already ordered a new one, since it was about time to change anyway

[fading walrus]

Wdy order?

[modern portal]

Wild..

[sour elk]

Rip phone

[uncut drum]

Yikes

Hope it'll come soon

[spring hazel]

is there any videos or some sort of guides with F2P comps that I can clear the regional extremes?

[fading walrus]

Yeah there is, but most of them are really harsh to replicate

[low coral]

bought a new phone

[low coral]

supposed to come tomorrow, the problem is that I leave to work before the reception is open and get home after it closes lol

So I might need to get someone else to get it for me

[snow spruce]

I finally got (sparked) 3/5 Arc Lance, tried doing Nita UB with full Arc trio, thinking maybe if you flinch enough then its possible for just Cynthia alone to keep speed buffs in check. Nope, not a chance.
Its still absolutely magical to me that Arc Duo + NC Silver (who has no speed debuffs) managed to do sand Nita with just Cynthias speed debuffs + enough flinches.
I consider that the single most impressive Masters clear done so far

[low coral]

Ok, I managed to get the recordings back, at least

[low coral]

https://youtu.be/SXFDCGnl_Z8?si=j0qYwDkc9I8xH2c1

[uncut drum]

This was done with 1/5 Rika

Arc Cynthia is truly broken

[uncut drum]

https://youtu.be/igP-12CFiJY

[sour elk]

Crazy that Lance probably didn't even need to sync on Regigigas, that 443K B Hyper Beam was like 81% in a single shot

[uncut drum]

Honestly he probably doesn't need 4/5 for this one

[sour elk]

Yeah the sync could've done 0 damage or land in one of the sides, and hyperbeam would've still wiped Regi

Regi was at 74% before sync, some 407K hp left

[true lagoon]

would this work for anabel ub

[stable tundra]

Worth a try ig

[marble portal]

Lucy UB with NC Hop/SS Gio/NC Rosa

[dark dust]

Does Darach need weather specifically to be countered, or terrain/zone is enough

[calm sand]

Just any WTZ is good enough

[dark dust]

Ok thanks

This was Battle Rally related should have asked there now that I think about it but this is also good

[valid raft]

Any field that affects the enemy

Even something like damage field works

[dark dust]

Well I got Tech + Field. He's cooked

[fading walrus]

I was curious about the model

[pallid badger]

What can I use for an f2p team for today’s type challenge?

[valid raft]

Any

[tawdry bone]

What's the easiest 3 out of these

[lone bramble]

Lucy, Palmer, Darach imo

[stone scarab]

i wouldn't say Palmer over Argenta

[uncut drum]

Lucy, Argenta and Noland (though for Noland you must know what you're doing but the counters are super accessible)

[uncut drum]

Palmer is quite difficult unless you got some amazing damage dealers

[lone bramble]

Yeah, I realize that now. My opinion of Palmer is based off destroying him with Rei + C Rosa so may not be the most reliable.

About Noland though, I have all the accessible counters, just don't have the required investment/move levels on them. One of the UBs I haven't beaten yet.

Noland and Nita

[low coral]

I wouldn't call Noland either

The deal is more so that there are options that are on the general pool

But the battle itself can he pretty restrictive

Turn Roxanne and Lana into limited units and people would probably find the battle much harder

Despite the game's roster and the battle itself being the same

[lone bramble]

Which would you say is the most difficult UB?

[low coral]

Nita

Followed by Leon

[lone bramble]

Didn't find Leon too difficult but that's probably because I had an answer to his gimmick. Nita on the other hand feels like she has 2-3 counters, all limited.

The only -2 spd pair I have is Palrena and that's not working out

[formal matrix]

Saw the earlier discussion in this channel. I wonder how is NC Bianca’s performance in ultimate battle? I have her but never really used her that much in UBs? (I understand her utility in LG and anywhere else but I wasn’t impressed by her performance in UB)

[sour elk]

She's seen success in every UB (maybe except Gio?) so she's viable enough, but I think she's more of a compliment to main carry units like NC Cheren/NC Red than a main carry unit herself (outside of Palmer)

[cobalt cliff]

I still can't beat Giovanni:(

[sour elk]

Have you filled the sync tracker thingy with your roster? Maybe we could help with some suggestions

[paper mural]

Imo the easiest should be without the units designed around it it's still not an issue, so Darach, Lucy, Argenta.

[shrewd marten]

You can’t say Leon is easy because you have sstr, that unit is specifically designed for it

Without exactly electric terrain team the team building is restricted by a lot

[true lagoon]

sstr and chase together completely fuck up leon

[lone bramble]

I did say I found him easy because I had the counter. But even then it was no breeze.

[snow spruce]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x02zu-c_bXo
Arc Duo + NC Silver pre-sync Anabel clear

[snow spruce]

it would be so insane if NC Silver was ground type, kek

[fading walrus]

Lucy Argenta noland

Easily

[shrewd marten]

AYO WHAT THE FUCK YIU CAN DO THAT????

Is that Steven’s passive

That lets you quad queue his flinch

[fading walrus]

Yeah they're built different

[shrewd marten]

No not the presync part the quad queue part

I’ve not been able to pull that off with him and I have his 4/5

Wot am I missing

[onyx cedar]

just made a Nate version of this: https://youtu.be/fD18BGvwsYA

[snow spruce]

Palmer is definitely Lances best UB

[snow spruce]

you mean queue his action right after he flinches, before the enemy re-queues ? Not sure tbh
I thought that wasnt possible with regular flinch moves, only if you have it on a staggering passive like NC Blue/Kukui/SST Red
but maybe it is
Or its just super quick timing

[shrewd marten]

Genuinely amazing

I have never been able to pull that off

[shrewd marten]

Yessir

I don’t see mg refresh either

[snow spruce]

those are some nice gear stats

[low coral]

Nice

[teal elk]

Hello, i need help with clearing anabel

im wondering if 1/5 ss gladion would be better than 5/5 bp valerie and also for 3/5 ss morty over 5/5 bertha

[shrewd marten]

Yeah that gear is better than I’ll ever have lmfao

[paper mural]

1/5 SS Gladion lack the needed dmg imo.
SS Morty can be better if you have the tank that can drop atk as well, like Penny or Gushia.

[teal elk]

yeah thats what im finding too

What Is that?

[snow spruce]

have you Lance havers done Noland with Lance + SS Serena/Nate ?

[low coral]

Yes

https://youtu.be/QoTja9WZfwM?si=F_Cm-CakboVMOXwj

[fading walrus]

Champion gear my beloved

[snow spruce]

hmm, I thought with Lance ST damage it would be a super quick clear and killing Noland before the first EQ with the huge B-move taking him from 50% to 0%
But this works

[low coral]

Lance's single target damage is not that high

I think people don't realize that

Other units have far more steroids

Giga Impact/Hyper Beam are often used without Zone, with a mid Atk/SpA, and a low amount of multipliers

Noland also self buffs defenses at key points

In case you wanted to save move ups

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

This tool thingy allows you to mark the sync pairs and investment level that you have, so that we can more easily suggest teams/strats based on what you have

[haughty venture]

Could I have some advice as to who to use to defeat Nita's blessed land please. These are my pairs (that aren't general pool)

I've been having the harding time with defeating her

[sour elk]

There are some submitted clears using NC Blue/NC Leaf + SS Morty + NC Cheren among the combinations that you have, but those use 3/5 Cheren

Do you have eggmon Lapras ?

[fast pendant]

SS Morty, NC Red and SS N should be fine, I think

Or ghetsis instead of N

[short peak]

Hello! Any tips for Take on Anabel! Part 2? These are my sync pairs, first pic is fairy types

[teal elk]

so for anabel im using ss valerie sycamore and bertha but they keep dying, idk what i can do to clear it, the sync grids and everything is the same as in the repo

[jade marsh]

Did Lucy , need to upload

[marble flume]

Marley

[uncut drum]

F2P Lucy

[paper mural]

Wow Lucy finally has f2p clear

She's always meme by being the easist one but never really get f2p clear

[uncut drum]

F2P Ground is a really bad aoe type in this game

If they had a good gen pool or event aoe nuker they would've gotten it ages ago

[jade marsh]

[fast pendant]

not looking that serious now

[jade marsh]

true

[formal crescent]

how do I make sure Bertha survives sync?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TB4f1bDvVU

The accuracy debuffs on Bertha hurt

Maybe my skill gears need to be better but I don't know what to look for in that

Wait actually what Lucky Skills are on Bertha and Sycamore for that clear? I can't read Japanese

[shrewd marten]

Super pushover

[formal crescent]

nice job!!!

[paper mural]

Sycamore: Ice Guard / Bertha: Normal Guard.
For skill gear you should aim for high def/spdef on both Fairy and Bertha (like Fairy + ground or Fairy + Sinnoh)

[spark idol]

Can someone help me make a team for beating extreme Anabel? I feel like I have solid fairy supports but I don't really have anyone who can hurt her. It's especially bad once my accuracy goes down

[onyx cedar]

Nate version of the run, used Chase... no need to more guards lol https://youtu.be/1-XuOqwdhqs

[formal crescent]

Why Normal Guard for Bertha? Not Ice Guard when she's gonna be taking the sync?

[stable storm]

guard doesn't affect syncs

[formal crescent]

ahhh

But why normal guard and not something to boost accuracy?

[warm haven]

Oh nice

[snow spruce]

thats the stuff! pre-EQ clear

[onyx cedar]

[paper mural]

To reduce the dmg of Swift pre-sync.
Tbh if you roll better defensive gears maybe "accuracy cannot be debuff" LS would be better.

[formal crescent]

I can't get good defensive gears that support both Valerie and Bertha :(

Maybe this isn't so bad?

ACK SHE STILL DIED FROM SYNC EVEN ON 81% HEALTH

[stable storm]

she should be 100%

and enemy at -5 minimum

[formal crescent]

...that's gonna be extremely difficult with -3 accuracy.

[stable tundra]

Pray for tomb to land unfortunately

Also you want to get better bracelet and pin

[stable storm]

Pray to rnjesus

[formal crescent]

I only have like 1 everpin left :(

[stable tundra]

Pray to rngus

[formal crescent]

nvm i have two but idk if I wanna spend my last 2 on this fight. I got 71 5* power ups though

[stable tundra]

Don't spend ever pins tho

[formal crescent]

I already spent two on locking in a theme boost for Bertha, but then I'd have to spend more feathers on a boost for Valerie AND good defense and special defense buffs

[paper mural]

You can't everpin more than one theme tho.

[formal crescent]

yeah I know

Is this any better?

the game restarted when I opened discord are you actually joking

oh it saves it phew

also here are all my pairs if any of them are better.

Am I focusing on the stats or the additional effects?

[stable storm]

stats

then effects

[stable tundra]

It's significantly worse

[formal crescent]

yeah i figured

[formal crescent]

My defense, special defense, and HP stat boosts seem similar to the one in the video. What needs to be better?

[stable tundra]

Ideally 90 - 100 HP and high defense stat on pin and 70 - 80 atk on bracelet, any defense stat buff is appreciated

[formal crescent]

oooof I got a Gym Leader + Sinnoh skill gear with 100 HP but the defense is only 10

...I have 50 yellow feathers left...maybe this battle isn't worth it.

[stable tundra]

That pins is quite good

[formal crescent]

oh :o

I HAD SUCH A GOOD RUN AND THEN I MESSED UP QUAD QUEUE IM ACTUALLY SO UPSET

Or maybe it was the lack of extra attack

[stable tundra]

[formal crescent]

xerneas died to crits twice in a row.

...thrice

[nocturne arch]

Ok I was trying to beat johto top tier, I took down Ethan but now I have to took down kris and Lyra. I use ash along with or their debuffs like holiday viola and lono or Lucian. The only bad said is that it has to paralyze (or maybe other conduction effects like burn or poison.) so I can get double damage.

I can keep viola because of the stun storm. But I need something to took down the Sp defense

Even so, Lyra will attack sweft attack to get a flitching on me and I can’t make a move.

[rotund oasis]

That should do it o.o

[snow spruce]

can Arc Duo + SS Lear do all UBs ?
I assume no, cause Nita ? (Noland is also tough, but maybe doable the same way it was done with NC Silver)

[raven wharf]

That sucked

[rich heron]

Finally I can 3/5 my sstr and beat that mf leon from UB

[warm haven]

why not nita

arc duo seems to beat nita with almost anything

[snow spruce]

because Nita still needs very strong/two unit speed debuffs in sand.
SST Red/BT leon/NC Cheren - all have speed debuffs, thats why they worked. And with NC Silver it worked because of the AoE flinch and that was a miracle IMO

[valid raft]

Can't Cynthia debuff speed?

Unless you're relying on flinch

[snow spruce]

Cynthia can, but only -1 per turn and thats not enough for sand Nita. You do rely on flinch, but Stevens flinch alone isnt enough to keep it in check if Cynthia is your only speed debuffer - thats why Silvers AoE flinch was needed to deny more speed buffing

Cynthia alone is only enough if there is no sand

[hearty cedar]

Lear with 1/5 arc steven and 1/5 marnie. I played badly with half a mind

[hearty cedar]

Strike ex role on anni N when

[pallid badger]

That’s really good. Congrats

[hearty cedar]

I'm looking forward to more clears with this duo

[hearty cedar]

Thanks mate

[stable storm]

has anyone beat anabel without removing sun

[hearty cedar]

Nope

I really wish my steven was 4/5

[hearty cedar]

I can already see ss lear clearing almost every ub(maybe different teammate needed for nita)

[low coral]

He 100% does every UB

[hearty cedar]

Yep

[river prawn]

Yeah I'm optimistic

[hearty cedar]

Steven + lear is an insane core for these ubs

You all run sync burst on lear?

[river prawn]

Yes

[hearty cedar]

He needs 4/5 for that tho

[river prawn]

No

Sync burst is more valuable than a sync bp node

[hearty cedar]

Probably yeah

Poor lucy tho

Cant get off her 1 gimmick even if we dont run antitoxin

[low coral]

4/5?

Why wouldn't you run it at 3?

There's already excessive energy there

[hearty cedar]

I made some modifications but this is what I ran initially

But without sync burst

I took sp.atk nodes bcuz I have him at 3/5

[low coral]

Just drop MG side 2

And a sync node

[river prawn]

This was fun

[low coral]

Or just the sync node, idk, I prefer Circle HP

[river prawn]

same the extra healing helps

[hearty cedar]

Switching to this

[hearty cedar]

Awesome

[river prawn]

I was worried there was not enough field uptime
