I still don’t have SS Misty
😭
An alt account I had got her 3/5 tho
Life is so unfair
points at Leon get wrecked nerd
Yes and I have Misty
I hate this game sometimes. They need to raise the rewards for these hard ass battles
I thought Sygna Giovanni had Tech role, but he has support.
Which still could help, but I dunno.
100 gems for an ass kicking?!! That’s ridiculous
Candying him to 3/5 would make the difference, but I don't use them on non Master Fairs usually...
If they did people who couldn't clear would be way more annoyed than you are for getting 100 gems
The difference is, you still got something out of it in current case, while being locked out of it if rewards were better would be an actual noticeable loss
You shouldn’t candy him just to beat the EBE
I think it’s the exact opposite. They gotta raise the rewards for the lower stake stuff. Locking the gem missions on beating this stage is cruel
He can easily beat it 1/5
Candying is never recommended unless fave or if the unit seriously lack huge parts of their utility at 1/5
^
I'm 2/5 and I'm still a little short.
You sure SS Misty? Off type is now an option?
Yes
But that’s unrealistic to them. If a battle’s so easy that anyone who started the game 5 minutes ago can do it without even understanding the game, then there’s no point in raising the awards like that to their eyes
Imagine doing a defeat these level 10 sync pairs for 1000 gems. They don’t see the realistic level in that
Ugh...
Also form what I remember misty is there as buff control, the enemies have fluid fortifications which reduces damage taken the more buffs they have
where are the clear sheets
the one in the pins is outdated
Yes
Leon wants to be affected by a status condition or else you won’t do as much damage, you also need a special attacker since he has Sentry Entry x3
special rock...
how many special rock dd'ers are there anyways
not many
like is it just selene alt?
ig lodge steven as well
yeah it's just them
Classic Blue also has a Special Rock Damage Move
oh yeah, rock shift hyper beam (lame)
yea, Rock is a very physical oriented type
not his sync move tho right?
the only Special Rock moves (Excluding Z-/Max Moves) are Ancient Power, Power Gem and Meteor Beam
his sync is physical
yeah
yea, some pairs have a sync from a different damage category than their strongest DPS move
aerodactyl is also physical in the msg, so i figure it'd be the same here
Rock moves also have the funny thing of usually never been 100% accurate in msg
these are the only 100% accurate Rock moves
mighty cleave huh
oh we're never getting that one in poma lmao
One day
Iron Boulder pair in like 2026 or something
no cuz that would require dena to acknowledge violet's existence
I think they will acknowledge Violet's existence at some point
although I'm still not sure how Paradox' will be handled
considering they're sorta in the same category as Ultra Beasts
as in their own kind of special Pokemon
hmm, I think I'll put a non-Paldean character Paradox pairing in my pairs bingo card for 2025
we already have ss nemona so
regular sun / terrain mults
I basically use her as a beatstick
idk if they go anywhere more interesting than that
(oak) nidorino is a good support for leon battle
I'm still struggling with Challenge Ingo and Emmet, honestly...
What’s your team look like?
ingo and emmet feels like a round that was made w/ rebuff / elaine in mind
oh yeah
i had issues w/ them eventually getting immune to flinch and confusion
but just unga bunged my way through w/ more gioking investment
it being arc cynthia makes sense i guess
I rmb many speculating a Ground op pair in Dec to help them do this.
It's not as bad as it looks, it wasn't a particularly well done run
Anabel in Sun w 3/5 Leon
2 enemy sync buffs? zamn
I dont know which is more impressive:
Steel team that one is weak to fire but still do it under sun
Or fire team survive 2 sync under sun
Doing my head with arc suit sync pair and then I return to rats and it works first try..
I was expecting more rats
Maybe the rats are Geeta and Blue
funnily enough the only Red I tried was NC Red (that didn't end well)
What are the most common enemy spammed AoE moves in UBs and EBs? Which arc types have the most use for their positive +1 rebuff?
I feel like its Ground (EQ) > Fire (heatwave etc.) > Ice maybe? (Blizzard, Icy wind)
in this sense Cynthia and Leon get way more use out of theirs than Steven/Lance
The true rats are the friends we made along the way
Also it's time for me to go back to the Ingo and Emmet pit for Pasio battle subway
Great job, gladion /s
Tough skin 5
I'm aware
Since the message here, the only new units for me are 1/5 Adaman & Leafeon and 1/5 Gladion & Weavile, iiirc.
My best ground is Courtney who doesn't do crap anyway
So I might as well pick a unit who can do literally anything on a good day
...
it's funny
Courtney is fine ontype striker if paired with the right support in this
Courtney. Is not working.
I have. Already. Tried.
If I hadn't. Already tried. I would be using her.
anabel sun clear 2
What are your supports?
steel team did it without any positive rebuff
and has less high tiers
I wonder if fire could brute nemo tho
will you try to do nemo if your ASLE becomes 4/5-5/5?
Time for me to bring back the infernal leer confusion Leaf grid
Yes. I understand the fraustration if you dont have some of the most top tier suppoerts like arc Steven or Elaine.
Arc Leon is weak to Electric so it's concerning for Fire team to brute force through terrain
Unless they managed to pre sync
oh right
I think they do every ub except nita and nemo?
Unless they add a trip up ls I don't think fire can do speed up nita?
Or a support that's super tanky with speed debuff.
The best part is. I have arc Steven.
(it's still not working)
what support would have that and still allow anabel
@quick pewter submas final ebe?
Yes
I'm trying to do missions now
Problem is I have no idea how to beat it without doing Arc Steven / SSLear / SSEmmet
One min lemme grab my character list ig
Is SS Ingo good against Leon or is it only really SS Emmet of the two who’s good against him
I mean when they add a new support that fit this.
Like a future arc support again.
I deeply apologize for the number of images
I can't afford to EX anything
But I think I have two 5* BP vouchers banked if it becomes absolutely necessary
Nvm I only have one
what do you have left for missions
Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Main Character, Villain
I cannot get Bertha/Courtney/Leaf to work
All Leon needs is to have status condition applied and a special attacker
I remember lyndis doing every mission f2p
Don’t know about Rebuffs tho
you should look at lyndis' channel for that clear
To the internet
it even has the grids and other stuff
he also wants a negative status change
Aight sick. Gonna give it a go now as Ssingo, SsLear and AsSteven seems good on paper
Ah so I was right, Rebuff and something like that
it's in jp tho
That sounds fine enough
I did it with that except Emmet instead of Ingo but Ingo applies his own status too I think, so
That should work, I tested that team out not long ago
Wait
I used Emmet instead of Ingo
But should work
Whoops
I wish I had SSIngo 
trying it out rn and yeah this seems. pretty good
That max into sync was a lil scary though lol
I'm already stuck i don't have that jasmine
And I don't know what would be comparable
And I definitely can't max out her lodge level in a week
Leon doesnt need that. The free clear didnt use any rebuff or trap or confusion.
then what's the passive that pops up?
nvm i thougth it was ub leon
Steven, nc Leaf, bertha?
Keep sun most of the time and only change weather to sandstorm for Bertha's nuke.
Seriously 3/5 Steven is too strong I dont really know how to do with 1/5 Steven.
Yeah there's no chance
My Bertha isn't EXd I don't think she'd have a meaningful nuke
4/5 Arc Steven, Anni Lillie 2024 and 3/5 Alt Leon should be an easy Morgan UB team right 
I can't check the details properly rn so i want to ask if she buffs evasiveness at one point or not
I love how every single clear I see that actually works requires a unit I do not have
That's. Just lovely.
felt
HELL YEAH!!
god speed soldier o7
Oh boy I love trapping /s
I love having so many wonderful units. That can trap people. And totally fulfill the conditions.
Why does every Johto BP unit on the freaking planet do confusion
bcuz it was a really weird gen
Confusion also works. It's just not consistent as trap.
It might dessapear in 3 turns; or might last for almost entire battle.
iirc the opponents build up their resistance to interference whenever they cleanse it
Until they get immunity
Well I'm screwed for everything else but that's Kanto ig
It does not feel the same
Maybe I can try NCSilver for the heck of it
He doesn't even have villain what are you here for silver /s
I did it with NC Blue as my only interference setter (confusion) once.
Just saying confusion can work, not only trap.
Flinch cant work tho, dont use flinch unit.
I stg my game crashing for no reason is NOT HELPING
I'M LITERALLY ONE AWAY UGH
congrats
i did it w/ exr anni skyla
Oh nice
And thanks
the most annoying thing is the Dmg break points
Like if you could wipe it w/ 2 anni skyla syncs itd be ezpz
but you cant
thats why i brought along ss mina
She helps with an eq
And cheren flies away for the other attacks
I did ssa cynthia / anni skyla / lana
Any suggestions for Subway Duo battle?
Weirdly enough i think gloria alt wouldve been better than cynthia
I’ve seen a lot of Lana’s in teams for Noland
I used zerena arc cynthia and nc blue
Oh I don’t have NC Blue
arc steven?
Yep have all the Arcs
How much investing do they have
Steven 1/5 Cynthia 2/5 Serena 1/5
Hmm
I have one move candy tho
All i had to do was quadqueue
Like once or twice
Dont waste it
I forgot I have 2 strike candy
I knew It was possible 
after pulling my third mix leaf, I finally gave this a shot and got it
I am wondering if Nemo is doable
I still have masked royale ub remaining, but at least I finally got this out of the way
do you have Geeta
Beating this without ss mina or ss kris and when my most ‘recent’ water dps outside of mix leaf was archie was rough
Nope, my poison roster sucks lol
At best I have a 1/5 emma
leon is electric weak
With dragon out of the way, how many UBs do we have left in terms of types?
Steel, bug, ghost, normal
Am i missing something
normal is not happening lmao
Nice
what about a passive that makes the enemy take halve damage from non normal moves and cannot be bypassed
finally
@fast pendant do you think leon can duo anabel with ss kris/ss mina?
Not enough debuffs

Shooting myself in the foot a little here, I realize the value of having Bertha and she helps, but that also robs Elaine from further healing.
what are some tips for leons battle, im checking the gimmicks, but im doing 1% dmg to the sides :/
i really want those 600 gems
what's your team
Status Effect (Poison/Paralysis/Burn are recommended) and special damage dealers are needed
well i just used a random team to just gimmick check, and even then i did that little
i didnt do proper team building, but i dont think that would make up for me doing basically 0 dmg despite gimmick checking
i did do that iirc
we would need know your options to help you
I think it would be handy to show the team you used and this channel can see what you did wrong
alr i will have to show later tho however i can share my units
sure thing
Yeah that ain't happening
Your limiteds are all physical
And the freebies who could theoretically clear are 1/5 or exless or both
Ssred 1/5 ain't doing shit
These are all your units?
Move levels accurate?
but they are probably just gen pool
Ah
Definitely not accurate
I take it ex also isn’t?
I'd recommend, generally, EXing the supports whose sync moves you'd benefit more than typical from using anyway.
Leaf & Eevee, for example, boost ally stats with their sync move even without EX.
Don't forget the free power-ups for the pairs in Legendary Adventures!
Been trying to clear some I’ve been too lazy to take down. Vigilance Geeta makes a big difference
I'm having difficulty STILL with Challenge Ingo & Emmet, and now also Challenge Those Blessed By a Deity.
(I've recently sent a fair few messages in here for the former, but haven't had any success despite such.)
Any advice for these?
i'd actually aim to kill Emmet first, the burns from the start hurts a lot.
the paralyze, not so much, but it only starts happening during post sync 1
Any team suggestions?
Emmet is electross
Killing mid is always priority anyway
And you're really not meant to be either parad or burned
What teams have you tried?
SS Blue, SS Lyra, SS Giovanni was one of them...
I recall trying Jasmine&Magnemite, Bertha and Courtney...
I've honestly lost track of some of them at this point.
(For Pasio Subway 7)
As for CTBbaD, I've tried using Caitlin&Sableye, SS Leaf and C. Marnie, I recall, then using Melony instead of C. Marnie to try to just stall (that didn't work well)...
yeah if you dont have alt selene you kinda suffer
a lot
i do and it was still rough cuz she only 1/5
Which are you referring to? CI&E? CTBbaD?
the battle against leon
its very clearly meant for alt selene
robust physique gets checked by her poison
sentry entry x3 so duh
Makes sense. I just thought I should check.
I was abbreviating them by the first letter/word, by the way. I just thought I should make that clear, just in case.
yes i know
ingo and emmet is harder to counter
since you want escape master + flameproof/status immunity
if you have someone that blocks both at once like nc leaf then it gets easier
NC leaf's is under sun, which boosts Chandelure, though...
I have given Status Immunity & Escape Artist to SS Blue.
heat wave shouldnt hit that hard
for the Pasio Subway 7, i ran Elaine with Lithe (she has Escape Artist and maybe Antiflinch), then SS Giovanni + Arc Cynthia.
but it was also just an example
both SS Gio and Arc Cynthia had CS2
I don't have, nor intend to get, any Arc Suits at this stage, by the way.
is it a 3/5 SS Gio?
SS Gio should be good enough with great partners
I'm getting so close...
kinda forced to offtype this because my best rock is like. Blue Aerodactyl 1/5 lol
Gladion's Fire Weakness fucks me up so much if he lived just a little longer I think I'd win
do you think its worth to trade Crit Strike 2 for Fire Guard or Vigilance here? does it help him live
so im not surprised your ass is getting beat
oh yeah i tried using Sonia for this reason but like
fire guard doesnt work for syncs
she dies way sooner
so it doesnt do much
ah shit
also gladion maxes his speed and cant get debuffed but he still dies first
so i dont know if thats the issue? ig penny and oleana die faster but by that point idk if stall is enough bc poison does fucking Nothing lol
i have other offtype teams that Arent weak to Fire (NC Marnie comes to mind) but Gladion has my highest damage output by far so idk if i even can do this one
this is what I'm rolling with btw
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
the grids might be unoptimized, I made Penny's and Oleana's a while ago
Gladion's I touched up specifically for this lineup
i could be missing obvious stuff on the other two
What would you recommend, then? I've tried yet had difficulty, myself...
can you show me your whole roster?
With the right supports 3/5 Gio should be able to beat it
I mean I’ve beaten it with a 1/5 Gio
I plan to beat all UBs today.
next time you should try sync pair tracker site which is better and faster to showcase
anyway lemme look into it
I've tried it. It's a bit awkward for me to use...
hmmm this is quite tough, i'm not even sure if you are able to clear the stage
if only you had SS Morty
If they are not able to clear it. Then I'm sure not gonna be able to with my lack of units lol.
that really depends on each one's roster
What makes SS Morty be considered so good, anyway? I've seen such sentiment before but don't understand exactly why...
you have NC Leaf who has team status condition and interference immunity under sun, but you also want 3/5 NC Leaf for confusion to shut down their damage reduction passive
Which channel/thread/etc. on here is for general upgrade usage advice? I'm getting a bit confused...
#poma-questions maybe?
Should this work? I start struggling when Selene runs out of circle
Ah, i was gonna recommend gridding circle extension but seems she only gets that at 4/5
Yeah sadly that is Selene problem
It’s all fun and games until the second Leon sync wiped my team lol
She really wants 5/5 or pair with other circle pairs
yeah i was gonna say you need another circle unit
or else her dps will just tank
cuz of the meteor beam gimmick
So if I don’t have another circle I can’t beat it?
well no
but alt selene will have a much harder time
maybe not
cuz shes 3/5
but you have to be careful with circle uses
so you can get her nuke off

So like only use the circle when I’m syncing with her?
well
no
id say use it in the second turn of a sync rotation
so you can get a meteor beam and still have it for her sync
she does not have mpr
very annoying
I concur
Unfortunately not
for the extra circle uptime
hmm do you have any other circle pair
Unfortunately not
any circle will work for her b move
yikes
uh
i guess you just have to win in 2 cycles ig
sprint ex could help too i suppose
Should I just try to brute force with another team?
Who else do you have?
id say she would have an easier time
than other options
considering she has the perfect anti gimmicks
The first thing I’d try is arc Cynthia but again I dont know if I can get off enough damage
Definitely not, Leon has Sentry Entry x3
Iono over Elaine for more special damage buffs?
uhhhhhh
sure
?
that could work
Steven obviously keeps me alive lol, I’ll see if that helps
Arc Cynthia does it just fine (at 3/5 or higher I assume), especially with Arc Steven. And ofc any status cond. pair
its been posted here already
1/5 probably doesnt win, unless the second dps has status and decent special dmg to help
but generally your best 3/5 EXed Special damage pair should win without much trouble, as long as you bring status cond.
The stage is really nothing special
the problem is that selene is a cripple without a circle up
and her extension is 4/5
which is cringe
and they have literally no other circle units
so its hard to manage her by herself
Got it with iono!
dont use Selene 
Surely there is something else
tbh even a ~3/5 EX SS Red should win probably
Two syncs with circle up plus a few MBs worked perfectly
yeah i mean
my gameplan was double support
dont overlap circles
and then dps with selene all the way
The extra special damage definitely helped plus iono debuffs spatk so bonus

would 2/5 ex ss red be sufficient enough as a nuke for arc leon battle? my current special dd roster are at too low of a move level to be very effective
To add insult to injury, I'm currently at 19 yellow coins.
Elaine getting Sprint role would've helped, but nope.
where can I view things like sentry entry being used in specific battles in game? the only thing I could find was that poison was recommended for leon
I think if the stage recommends using special attacks, Sentry Entry x passives is likely used for the opponent
ahh I see
thank you
I wasn't sure how you guys figured out what effects there were and that makes a lot more sense
Well we do get stages info from the datamine also 
You do need a status condition setter on 3rd slot though
Paralysis, Burn or Poison are recommended the most
would using a physical status condition setter be fine if I'm mainly using nc cheren for damage?
However you can always post your roster to see if there's better options
Geeta could probably work here
I was able to get pretty close so I think it's doable
If I don't get lucky with a Sygna Giovanni upgrade through mix by the 5th, I'm probably candying him once.
Wouldn't mean I'd complete all missions, though. I see the value of having Bertha, but I've been closer with Elaine + Classic Red than her alongside either support.
struggling hard with the 2nd pasio subway challenge, i dont know if my electric roster cuts it but i also know its SUPER tricky to offtype so 
Now I regret not getting arc Cynthia.
To an extent.
Ughhhhhhhhh
WHY CAN I DO IT WITH BP LUSAMINE BUT NOT BP MORTY
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
I didn't even grid her she was 4* and wasn't doing damage for crap either
And morty is flinching :V
And flinch often disappears and once that flinching disappears their defenses are tripled
Maybe I should use freaking will instead
oh
if its flinch then yeah that doesnt do much
i thought you meant lodge morty which has confuse ray
Yeah the main trouble is you need interference on them in order to deal good damage

nvm i lied
Morty has confuse ray
who the fuck has confuse ray then
But yeah I thought you were using confuse Ray
oh
nvm im stupid
wrong one
then it should be free you're just focusing on the wrong thing
I'm using Morty with mismagius who does have confuse ray
But now I'm using will instead because this is dumb and I'm desperate
Oh is it leaving soon?
Not for a week I'm just tired of staring at it
12/5
I believe
I'm going back to Morty and spamming confuse ray and potions forever
Ughhhhhhh
God. I'm so. Tired. Of this.
I can't kill Emmet before second sync I'm going to scream
Someone please tell me what the heck I'm supposed to do with this before I cry
Do I need 3/5 nc calem to beat geovani
If you’re trying to replicate a team that uses 3/5 NC Calem then yes
But there’s several teams in the pinned document that don’t even use NC Calem at all
Ok so I’m back and I’m still trying to beat trainers on track part 5. So someone suggested SS Misty battle facility foe. And the other two were sycamore and ghetsis. Yes I test it out and they didn’t come close after the 2nd sync attack.
So are you sure sycamore ghesis and SS Misty? Because it didn’t work it out.
make sure you copy the same grid/lucky skill builds as the example clears
Vigilance is crucial for Sycamore to avoid getting sniped by crit
I finally beat Gio
ok im ready for this last one. Ingo and emmet. What the strat this time?
you must inflict an interference on them (trap is the best application)
for your pairs you have to find ways to prevent them from getting paralyzed, burned and trapped
So… I can’t use Arc Cynthia for it?
Arc Cynthia is the best dmg dealer here
arc Cynthia has trap
she has Sand Tomb to trap
she shreds the stage, especially at higher move levels
Finally beat the subway boss
I've been ignoring the Challenge the Strong battles for a while now, and I'm trying to monotype them now XD
Struggling with Palmer, especially because he can ignore Eri′s team vigilance 😅
whose your best fighting type @icy lotus
Does anyone have any tips that should make it possible? (From what I've seen in "Successful Teams", they're mostly 3/5 and 5/5)
:}
Uhh... Everyone but Chuck
you can check the pins in this channel for documented teams, including a lot of mono Fighting ones
you have every fighting type?
Investment in AS Cynthia from 2/5 to 3/5 really didn’t disappoint me
I have nearly every gacha sync pair
btw why mono type specifically
wtf.
Just... because?
fair but you might make it harder for yourself for certain fights. Anyways, what move level is your rei
Yea lol assuming my judgment on who is gacha or not just at a glance at the dex, I'm missing like 8
1
I mean really, I've got plenty of candies, if it'll be worth it lol
nah, don't candy for 1 specific fight unless the unit really needs it in general and you like the unit
nc Bianca and nc hop?
1 and 1 
I am pretty sure they could still beat palmer
rei chop and biaNCa
if they are all exed and Bianca and rei are caked
Just tank with Bianca
there is a monotype team involving them but that requires 3/5 Rei
the rest is not monotype
All are EX'd and Bianca is caked up (Not Rei, but as I said with the candies, I have a few cakes too)
1/5 rei ss lear and nc rosa cleared for me so I assume the team I suggested can do similar stuff
rei is worth the cake imo
i hate nemona so much
what did she do
exists
seriously tho, what did she do
not 100%
also we have more pt and gt setters than 4 iirc
she's still atrocious tho
there's not that many with more than 2
ahhh fair
I still think it's more than 4
Nemona is relative easy ontype but kill a lot of offtype clear.
On type you just need the genpool unit (Bianca)
she kills all non pt/gt comps yes ||unless it's steel comp where they break through nemo without terrain||
Be the worst UB 
at least she's funny
I took my revenge
I'm not dead, it's just nemona annoying me.
Did you invest in Avery?
i have him at 3/5, if there's no fields next month i'll candy him to 4/5
But unless awakening candies become more accesible i dont have plans to 10/5 him
Btw does Arc Leon has 1 team 14/14 UB clear potential?
i might try to see what can i do with 1/5
Milo + Avery is a good candidate
Also Milo + VBede
not sure if the damage is enough
If you're talking about tosakinto
He's already said Leon can't full clear in all likelihood
He has to split comps
Prob blocked by Nita ig
MR and Nita
- Nemona
Granted i do think Morty Malva Leon
Can clear Nita
Or some alternate drop pick
Morty + leon + speed debuffer is easy
Idk why Malva came to mind lel
With VHop it should be a no brainer
Probably can blow a whole threshold with Leon's buddy to save one of the hail sets for last 50%
But even then, doubtful they can clear that last "bar" fast enough
Blue-Avery-Leon have no speed debuffs, Nita is impossible
Does she buff speed on entry
Because if you get godly rotations and rng you can maybe play around the stat increase block field with avery after a flinch with blue
nah, not possible to keep speed buffs in check like that, not even theoretically
even Blue-Avery-AS Cynthia would still be real difficult on Nita
Blue instead of Steven makes Nita quite a bit harder
Yeah because AoE flinches are ofc worse
Have Irida+NC Red ever cleared MR UB? (with any 3-rd)
link me if there is a link 
Twas on yt from a random small jp
NC blue + Avery seems a really strong UB combo
if there was an exact special version of AS Cynthia - that would probably be stronger than Arc Duo + Mix Red
if Psychic Arc has good speed debuffs - that could be an all UBs team. Even without needing to have P.Terrain, since Avery already has it
Also technically there is 10/5 Hau potential. He has speed debuffs, brings his own terrain. But he is probably too slow in setup and ramp up to do all UBs
psychic arc will be lear with stat x7 leech on hit 
Chat are there any of the side mode strong battles that are decently easy to clear? I could use the gems bc why not
I did Leon, Lucy, and Darach
Congrats you beat the easy ones
(and leon who's not supposed to be easy lol)
There's Thorton that's decently easy
Argenta too
If I had Victini I think Thorton would be a free clear but I don't really have the AoE damage I need
You can run a special+ Phys unit + a op support to clear thorton as long as
- someone rebuffs
- someone drops defence either AoE or in big single target chunks
This is what I went for on its debut
For example
None of the 3 was caked either back then and my execution was very sloppy but it worked finr
Rebuffs units were also extremely less common a year ago
That team will absolutely destroy
Bet
Which one is the best for Ingo and Emmet?
I mean with leaf there you can probably ditch Leon for a Phys unit instead
But yeah she's the unit the fight is made for alongside SS hilda
Is she tho
I did it with geeta and ss diantha and arc Steven
Or is she just getting carried by penny & wally
Muahahahaha
I did Oleana arc Steve Geeta 
isn't woke Diantha going toe to toe with SS Gladion dps-wise?
To be fair my diantha was 2/5 and it was first try
Ayo super awaken that strong?
penny can't carry anyone 
Vs Giovanni? She carries a ton of units there
Especially if SAd
Yeah she fuckin can
She reduces the damage you take full setup rebuff and remove crit
Penny counters Giovanni hard
What more do you need
Yeah Vs Gio she's one of the biggest cheat units
I did gio with penny arven and ss nemona
Like, easily imo the best non dark unit Vs gio
back then Fairy team couldnt do Giovanni with SS Mina (IIRC), but with Penny it was easy
Zero damage

But with enough patience even zero damage ss nemona can do it
Kekw
Well diantha is doing the exact same clears as SS Gladion
Can she replicate the Palmer one
Or the Leon one
Here's palmer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rrxLQAzt8s
Is best fairy comp, it would be weird to use her with not Wally and not penny/mina no
Like who else you using
idk about Leon
Is like saying I use grass unit without mix red and accerola
yes but you can't just slot any fairy between them and make it work
10/5 Diantha is very strong, although in these clears she is also on full steroids - triple rebuff, zone, many -SpDef etc.
But Gladion also did all of those, so maybe they're about equal now.
I think Gladion + SS Wally will be superior after Wally gets his 9-10/5
Ok but consider this
She's doing it with 10/5 penny Vs 3/5 iirc
The only one you can’t is nemona and that’s cuz she has negative uptime
Well I guess horse but like no other fairy is really worth comparing to is it
Fairy is still extremely restricted unit wise
But I'm pretty sure most non shit fairies can still do a lot with 10/5 penny carrying them tbfh
Esp alongside wally 5/5 (if not 10/5)
SS Wally 10/5 will be the best fairy 
So comparing her to gladion seems unfair because he made those clears work with less investment on penny and wally
But yeah he will stablish Gladion as the best abuser for the team thanks to wally having a gorillion dmg nuke, that is complemented by gladion's bmove
Non
im really not sure if those investments matter
Oh yeah they do
Penny's SA is really really big
isnt it just adr3
The fuck
Flat increase in Dps and A TON of less pressure on her sustain + automatic -1 starting cycle

and i mean it IS strong but it mostly matter for palmer
Lol
Adrenaline 3
Reduces the sync move countdown by 3 the first time the user’s sync move is used each battle.
Opp Rebuff ↓: Team Attack Move DR 2
Reduces attack move damage taken by allies when the Type Rebuff of an opponent that attacked them is lowered.
Especially with the flat stat & bulk increase on herself
In fact it’s a huge deal for a support that previously only had a problem that it wasn’t the tangiest tank
It's insane
Now she is a tanky tank with all that offensive shit
skinny has 10/5 Penny too? 
Shore
1040/390/420 isn't just good
Especially with 2 rebuffs and fuckton of SMUN
And cd
It just means that diantha needs to do damage less as fast
Dang it.
It's true that its not a fair competition because of the difference in investments but it's diantha that we're talking about 
For 10 copies? Sure but not by her own merit imo
Like, ATM that amount of damage with 2 enablers like the ones she has is
"normal"
Which one is the best for Ingo and Emmet?
Well no one should 10/5 non fav pairs unless your a whale
Ofc
Why is it
I'm just saying she ain't pulling that much weight without 10/5 penny and/or invested wally
Pixels
what
+50 spa is pretty huge too
One of the missions is Main Character
And moonblast going from 170
To 235
Is huge
So yeah with all that going for her she definitely can work now
I wouldn't say she's anywhere close to top 10 
It's definitely good af
But not the BEEG BUSTED tier
You didnt show what ground unit you have.
3/5 NC Blue + Arc Cynthia can prob do it with any third that help keep team alive.
maybe not
that doesnt make her less op since all pfs will get awakening
Yea sure
It's really funny to me
She kept getting updates and insane teammate after insane teammate
So her being good is funny
I don't have Arc Suit Cynthia... XD
My ground units
Check if you have status immunity guaranteed cookies
Got em
If so bertha can tank and destroy along SS Giovanni and leaf for 6/7 themes
Base Leaf?
The best 10/5 passive. But also her 5/5 was kinda bad, so she really needed it.
and the 10/5 Penny- 5/5 Wally team is like hyper damage steroids, it boosts all Fairy output to the max, but its less flexible than using SS Mina for example
there's your leon clear with diantha
without 10/5 penny :^)
It was a really smooth clear
is there any that gladion did that she hasn't still?
Anabel doesn't seem like any issues
Ok still trying this, I'm close
I've tried:
NC Blue
NC Leaf
Leon
NC Blue
NC Leaf / Ash
SS Red
AS Steven
NC Leaf
AS Cynthia
WHAT AM I MISSING
I don't have a nuke like you showed in the video it feels like. What's recommended here
I don't think Noland is as well
there's one thing I would like to see for Diantha clears which would be pretty funny
using Mutually Assured to burn leon back

I do not understand how you’re struggling with ncleaf
Just hit leer a few times and spam flare blitz
If you cant beat him before their second sync, give everyone Vigilance (including your striker).
Sometimes you just need a few more turns.
wow that looked even easier than the SS Gladion run, that one took 3 more sync cycles
Yeah her sync is strong enough to be used to clear the sides
Is it time for me to go back to subway suffering...
It may, in fact, be time
...after I do dailies
Well yeah that's mina alright
Arc Cyn + NC leaf + arc Steve should be free
Why do I even bother 
ok so i have arc Cynthia but what units i should use to avoid paralyze or trap? Or either burn?
SSLear, base Leaf has friend mend on grid somewhere, slap escape artist on everyone and pray
Nc leaf has solar immune
She does???? I could've used that???
I don’t have ss lear. Just regular
People underrate her so hard smh
But yes she has team solar immunity
one of those passives you don’t think about until it’s veeeery useful
I didn't realize she had solar immunity lol I just knew about the leer confusion funnies b/c I used that for this one
I didn't mean to use all three of those things at once lol
Me: what if I used NCLeaf instead of SSLear
Also me: has no Johto that would be able to make this strategy functional
Like I guess I have silver but there's no way my DPS would be high enough I think
It’s her passive xd
But I mean sslear is a superior unit for the most part so
Meh
Just clear it a few times
I'm getting desperate to the point of trying memes just to feel something
To feel something kekw
Also you think I read?
Its highly recommended.
Well. I clearly don't do it enough 
+reading 2
I beat evelyn
What am i doing with my life
Ooo nice
This makes 3 total ubs ive beaten in like the past 3 days
I got tired of waiting for irida for nita so i just started beating everyone above nita 😂
and yeah everyone below was already beat
Yep i only need to beat nita, mr, and nemona
I havent tried Masked Royal or Nemona yet are they hard
I mean ofc they are but like how bad are they if you dont have the top on-type pairs
I think Nemona is a terrain check but that's all I really know about either tbh
Ah cool thanks
She’s really fucking annoying but for the most part all you need is 2 instances of rebuff and terrain
I'M FREEEEEEE
Apparently my circle maintenance sucked. As usual.
And also vigilance on Lear let me live the second sync which is literally the only reason this worked tbh
Awesome
I DID IT!!!!!
No Sinnoh, but screw it!
41/42, but I'm just glad to have been victorious at all.
ok i have nc leaf but how about a unit to stop paralyze or trap?
ok i just checked nc leaf. I just need to stop the paralyze
as long as you're under sun, your team cannot be paralyzed or be inflicted with trap
10/5 SS Cynthia testing went well

I might try rain Argenta too later, but SSC suffers a bit on that fight due to Rainy Immunity
alt leon
and the gimmick is that she debuffs you
a lot
and if defense is raised she gets tripled defenses
also what happened to the EBE sheet
granted it was outdated but then when I tried to access it (mostly just to see videos of the 4th anni ebe) i got some "this file is in the owner's trash" message
That sync is insane
I managed to beat ingo and emmet. I do have to say you will feel shit out of luck if i dont have arc Cynthia for massive DPS. But theres always alternative.
ok i got more. Whats the best unit for villain?
Depends on what you have, SS Gio probably since he covers Johto, Ground & Villain
anyone know how to do part 3 of the pasio subway missions?
So uh, how is this new Leon battle winnable? Another one of those where you can't do damage unless you have a specific unit?
You need special attackers + status
Preferably trap and poison
Rock weak though. So... Blue/Aerodactyl?
If he’s special i forgot

Yeah I figured
So what's an actual viable strategy that doesn't involve maxed out Master Fairs? They gotta stop sneaking in these insanely hard Ultimate Battles masked as event battles
Brute forcing with a special pair is probably the best option I used SCIrida Chase and Rosa
You sure about SS Giovani? Because it didnt come close beating it
what level is SS Gio?
he's def clunky as hell with low levels
I barely scraped by with a 5/5 SS Gio and that's only cuz he has First Aid 6
how are people doing subway mission 7 (Part 1 with Battle Partner) without ingo
actually silly question
Would the Neo Kalos duo work
He does
only 1
Sacred Fire is 50%, with HE1, it's 100%
HE1 is x2 chance

The formula goes like this:
Base Chance * (x + 1)
x being things like Hostile Environment or Aggravation
the next problem is dealing with CS9
Update: Serena clutch
Aaaaand in all that chaos I forgot to finish the dailies
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
1% 😮
ok now what the hell is part 3
have unflappable or team interference immunity giver like ss Lear or eri
mfw i spent 15k to fail eri
i think i might've spent more
18 at least but still
can rei work
you'll need electric terrain and anti flinch units.
electric terrain for part 3?
yeah for part 3, these are my clear teams.
Is it worth 5/5ing Rei
yes, what move level btw
~equal overall I guess, but for the synergy with AS Lance specifically I think she is better than OG Lance and at minimum comparable to NC Nate
AoE and zone are THE 2 things AS Lance wants and she has them. Even 1 unextended zone is enough to majorly boost ASLance B-move at the right time
I wasnt sure that fast Noland clear would work, but it did beautifully
It also helps that she is Special, so also gets fully boosted by Chase circle, unlike the physical Nate (or OG Lances physical sync)
no
just got him to 3/5 for the 2 fx cancels
who
think it unlocks at 2/5 but eh
#1009557516369281075 message
oh ssc
wait how was their sleep triggered again
go viral or aoe attack induced
The left side has passive that put sleep if it hit opponent(s), so if it's an aoe move it's aoe sleep.
The right side has flinch version of it, but in this stage it's recommended to put unflappable on everyone.
as it turns out i had to tweak my cynthia's grid a little
but still
thanks for the info
also TIL E Terrain cancels sleep
EX Mewtwo can beat it. It's just apply status than spam your strongest special striker really.
You have Arc Cynthia, you just use her main strike and let SS Gio stay to fulfill the mission.
I had tried Elaine, Geeta, SS Serena, to no avail. Can't even get center to 50%.
i don't see any means of neglecting speed debuffs in that comp
Yeah, I found that out. I switched Elaine to Lodge Dawn and it still wasn't enough, so I gave up on it for now
Lodge Dawn is frail so replacing Elaine with her is not a good idea
Zerena also doesn't have enough firepower to clear quickly
just bring your strongest supports (NC Blue, NC Rosa) and your best special dmg dealer
Yeah she becomes very blitz-tied
But has the firepower itself to play blitz
I thought Zerena was among my strongest special damage dealers
she is nowhere strong as most tech nukers
okay, let me see what I have
Maybe Sycamore with speed buff and impervious could be a better tank.
Tried with SS Hau and NC Serena. That aint it either
if you are using Sycamore with them, who is the status inflictor
Geeta was still the third
is your Hau 3/5?
3/5 EXR. Was supposed to be my main damage dealer but I still couldn't get past 60%
i think you should show us your whole roster here
any filters in particular?
just show everyone
Noland and Palmer clears are blitzy. Evelyn was a slog with 320K hp sides, but still works
She does become very Nate like
I'd argue she's still worse than Nate for that role outside of MPR zooms
because her duration is lower, no compensatory steroid in the form of circle
and after zone is gone she falls off quite hard, I think
but I do think her window of power is strong enough to warrant use over Lance, who is more of a slow and steady unit whose side clear is still kinda ehh
I believe Cynthia is better for blitz while nate for long fights
Nate is not meant for long fights anyway so
Cynthia is just 'faster' up to a point
Nate has a slightly longer duration and bolsters different parts of Lance
I'm more curious on Lucas/SS Cynthia variants where zone lasts long
complementary ramp exists
at the expense of less checks
How da hail did Serena clutch me twice today-
I dont really see her worse than Nate. She doesnt have circle, but she has 280BP AoE attack every turn, instead of 300+ BP every 3 turns. Thats more than enough to compensate IMO
if anything she becomes > Nate the longer the fight goes (after both zones have run out and maybe Nates circles too) especially since her gauge is always 0. Its just steady AoE damage every turn
I think they're comparable and both are easily > 10/5 Lance if using with AS Lance
as for Lucas I have him at 5/5 EXR, but he was nowhere near as strong as 4/5 AS Lance. Not even close (like Lucas + SS Cynthia have no hope of doing Palmer pre-max move for example).
10/5 Lucas is better, but I'm sure ASL would still be better
Lucas is needed for stages that require 100% WZT uptime (Darach, Leon, Gio), but is a clear downgrade from ASL overall.
He would need both 10/5 some kind of strong Sinnoh Special circle support to compete IMO
the damage there seems like it wouldn't be that high tbh
she doesn't give pmun stacks tho
