Battle Rally

[twilit chasm]

Yea didnt realize she can cleanse rebuff smh.

Status really makes it different, didnt need to buy more stuff

Still really crazy how red, a non support unit, can perfectly tank at a10, while also nuke hard, and debuff, and heal,…

this game is surely p2w

[candid harness]

Quick question so I can have a properly filled out Sync Pair Tracker in case of further questions- how does one turn EX Role on/off? Didn't seem to be in the video guide I got sent earlier when I was told to use the site-

And EX role seems pretty relevant here so uhhh yeah

[twilit chasm]

Just tap on rolex icon to make it unlocked?

[candid harness]

Oh a button shows up for it when you EX 'em, gotcha

Sorry, brain was off

[twilit chasm]

Yea like this (dont shame me i use phone to screenshot to show the mouse)

[plush anchor]

I want to battle rally

Why aren't we tomorrow

[candid harness]

Can't seem to find a reliable way to set up the way the tracker sorts things so it matches the in game order for easy info recording...

Something about the sorting logic's different I guess?

[austere cipher]

I have one more spare kek

[severe bronze]

its mostly because argenta just doesnt hit hard if you turn off her weather and terrain

she got stalled with 3 support

[muted sparrow]

Cant wait tomorrow to get ticket and speed run battle Rally

[leaden wraith]

Rally shop reset

[muted sparrow]

🍰

[leaden wraith]

Still have to wait for EXR Emma and SS May to be available tho

[severe bronze]

3 days for emma

[twilit chasm]

why isnt datamine tomorrow

[plush anchor]

Damn that's next level

Just tell us what's coming in anniversary rn

[muted sparrow]

I want to know next Mix pair

[severe bronze]

samee

[muted sparrow]

[plush anchor]

In may

[twilit chasm]

another p2w unit for rally

[severe bronze]

water unit?

[muted sparrow]

Spheal ?

[severe bronze]

[plush anchor]

Ice type spheal for ice hse

Bmove Ice ball

Hits double each time it's used

Max x3

[muted sparrow]

I want Rollout + Ice Ball Spheal

Rock move for Ice Hs

Perfect

[plush anchor]

I want Mega Infernape

I want flint removed and reintroduced as a new pair

[timid hound]

SSFlint & SSVolkner

[muted sparrow]

P Flint & P Volkner

[timid hound]

I'd say Magmortar and Electicire but NYVolkner already got Electivire

[muted sparrow]

[severe bronze]

vlucas 2

[muted sparrow]

He can get shiny

[plush anchor]

Bruh

[plush anchor]

Bruh x2

Give them new mons

Shiny Zekrom
Shiny Reshiram

Give me Tech Unit Shiny Infernape

[twilit chasm]

do you think they will update a10 boss with latest ebe ones?

[plush anchor]

Hopefully not
Don't need someone more absurd than palmer

[candid harness]

Finally finished putting it all together, this'll probably be useful if I get into another bind lol

...Don't mind the strike candies

Or norman, for that matter

[simple frost]

That Norman lol

[bronze aspen]

Does BR pull from extreme stages as well

[leaden wraith]

There is no Extreme Battle in BR

[stark dawn]

Only CS, battle challenges and neo champion stages (but like, not the ones you fight in CS, the ones you fight in events, it's weird)

[brisk zealot]

Dang, the lucky area is actually real

[twilit chasm]

been 1 month since i got a lucky stage

[plush anchor]

Some extreme stages would softlock you technically

[fluid mountain]

Well... trying to beat him on hard I guess

[simple frost]

Riley used already?

[fluid mountain]

Yes, and also SSA Cynthia and Rei, so I'm toasted on very hard

[simple frost]

Hard it is

[fluid mountain]

Yep

[glass parcel]

Are A10 VH bosses mostly Palmer and Anabel???

[gentle maple]

That's just unlucky

[fluid mountain]

A10 VH can be any UB I think. I also met Argenta and Lucy once on VH

[gentle maple]

Theres also argenta, Lucy, thorton and darach

Everyone hopes to get Lucy

[fluid mountain]

Going for an unorthodox NC Rosa, NC Silver and SS Gladion team on Palmer Hard. This week's BR I got was rough

[simple frost]

you've got 8.8k ;o

that should be like 9k+ if you managed to beat Hard Palmer

[fluid mountain]

Got a lucky stage, but after that, mostly ice weak stages on VH

[verbal verge]

Dang I'm impressed by the optimizing

Meanwhile I spent 1200/8000 points on my last run just to get it done (and I'm ok with that, was still fun)

[simple frost]

you'll get to optimizing, 500-600 is enough for me. usually.

[gentle maple]

Eventually u will only need 200

Or 0

[stark dawn]

I've just finished recording an explanation video on rally i need to edit it tho now

[gentle maple]

Did u include things to avoid in rally

[stark dawn]

like what

[gentle maple]

Overspending

[stark dawn]

oh yeah of course

[gentle maple]

Some bad themes like trial givers

Well u can't avoid it if it's your starting bonus but can get a different better one

[normal python]

Any last minute clearers?

[fluid mountain]

Finally I beat Palmer on Hard. 9,300 points with my first noob experience on lucky areas

[worthy tusk]

Any suggestions for area 10?

By bonus is villain

[leaden wraith]

we can't really suggest anything aside from saving Support/Sprint pairs for bonus

[worthy tusk]

Hopefully it's someone doable when I get there. I assume I may need to cake Zygarde or something

[gentle maple]

Probably save NC blue for a10

Or i guess if u have ssa Cynthia and rei combination that's better

[worthy tusk]

I have all of these

I just have to stick a villain in....and my only option left is lodge gladian

Unless I cake necrozma

[gentle maple]

I mean u aren't at a10 now right?

Can just keep checking the store every area for better bonus

Also now that we have percentage HP display it's best to on it for UB fights

[gentle maple]

What I do when I know all my areas is I lay out all my rolex and stick them into whichever area they get the bonus and think of what I have left for a10 and think of possible good teams in general for the UB and what possible bonus is good there

[worthy tusk]

I'm at 6

Wait we have % hp?

[gentle maple]

Yeah

If u have SST red Rolex it can go through 7 to 9

[worthy tusk]

Yeah I do

[gentle maple]

But yeah keep fishing for better bonus if it's still villian only

[worthy tusk]

Uh right now there's water and main character

Main character is trash

[carmine glade]

Wtf

[gentle maple]

What no

[worthy tusk]

Since I don't deal with eggs

[carmine glade]

Mc is one the best ones

[gentle maple]

Mc is like the best

[carmine glade]

Bruh

[gentle maple]

[worthy tusk]

Wait it's not me?

[gentle maple]

It's not eggs only

[carmine glade]

You realize all regional protags are mc

[gentle maple]

It's main characters including the protags of each gen

[worthy tusk]

Oh

So red

[gentle maple]

[worthy tusk]

Would be a killer

[carmine glade]

[gentle maple]

Mc is the boost everyone wants to start with

[worthy tusk]

I thought it was the master mc....

Brain fart moment

[gentle maple]

Especially Elaine which can keep going for many areas

Also I think rei is mc?

[worthy tusk]

Okay I purchased the mc boost

[gentle maple]

So if u do face palmer on a10 SSA Cynthia and rei got the bonus without worrying the 3rd

[worthy tusk]

How many MC do I want?

[gentle maple]

Depends on how many u are comfortable with

Probably around 3 boost for most people?

[leaden wraith]

1 or 2 is already enough

only buy more if you struggle to clear a round

[worthy tusk]

What's my best approach for this?

It's strike tech 😕

[leaden wraith]

do you have any support with tech/strike EXR?

[gentle maple]

Ah it's the 6 Eva glalie

[worthy tusk]

Frog or zapdos

Yeah just frog and zapdos

[worthy tusk]

Is....that bad?

Maybe I'll do hard

[gentle maple]

It's obnoxious

[worthy tusk]

I don't really need points since I already emptied the shop this month

So anything I get is just a stash for next month

[leaden wraith]

that team can definitely clear with Wally carrying

[gentle maple]

It can clear but u need to have a little patience

[leaden wraith]

just replace Bruno with someone else to improve team survivability to buff accuracy

[worthy tusk]

Uh who raises accuracy for the team?

I'm finding no filtered results for whole team, accuracy up

[leaden wraith]

Thorton is tech, with Telekinesis

[worthy tusk]

Ah it makes them unable to evade

Should I sync with Wally?

[gentle maple]

Definitely

[worthy tusk]

Okay so maybe I will ex him

Yeah not working

I don't have the time for this today I just take a loss for hard

Well I did have to ex but she dead

[worthy tusk]

So back to this, area 7 is electric weak. Red won't be of any use for area 10 right? So he would be okay to pull out here through 9.

I think it's champion stadium Phoebe

[normal python]

It is

[worthy tusk]

So red rat that's caked would be a great choice then?

[glass patrol]

Of course

Field

[gentle maple]

Red should be able to pull through with right supports

[gentle maple]

No bonus on a10 bench him by then

[worthy tusk]

Sounds good I'll use him to plow through the next few areas.

I'll give it a whirl when I get back home later. Thanks

[kindred seal]

How many rally medals do you need to buy all the cake vouchers?

[normal python]

24k

[kindred seal]

Hmm, and my average run is in the 7k points range. That's 7k medals?

[glass patrol]

What

[kindred seal]

How does it convert? I don't remember. I end most Rallys with about 7k points

[stiff flume]

~ 5500 on average per run

[normal python]

If you complete it, you end up with the amount of points you obtained when you complete Area 10

[carmine glade]

24k

For vouchers

[stiff flume]

Ye, it's 1:1, unless you retire
That's why spending less is important

[carmine glade]

Even just getting 7k a run you’ll have some left over by the end of the month

[leaden wraith]

April has 5 weeks, so you only need to score 4800 at least to get all cake vounchers

[normal python]

I have 12k points right now, should I get the 1* Yello Feathers?

[leaden wraith]

And we have 3 weeks to stock up points for 10k vets

[carmine glade]

Ew gross

Why would you ever get feathers

[stiff flume]

No
Stack them to start the next month and get the cake coin vouchers faster

Sooner you get them sooner you get a cake to profit

Also 2* feather are mostly trash
Avoid them unless you're scoring 10k avrg

You can get similar result with standard bronze feathers if you're invested in skill gears

[normal python]

Is 9k good enough?

[stiff flume]

9k average allows you to grab all the 3 big prizes (vouchers, powerups, orbs)

[leaden wraith]

Personally i only get feathers from mysterious stone exchange

And always stock up Rally medals

[stiff flume]

On average
~ 5500 for vouchers
~ 7800 for vouchers+
9000 for Vouchers+ +

[kindred seal]

Okay so I guess I'll always have a little leftover. I'll hold on to my medals for now. Do a Rally to finish off the cake vouchers, then start on the other items early for next month.

[dusk eagle]

Stuck on a Diantha Gardevoir battle I don't recognize. Is definitely not a stadium one.

Says I need to poison but I do that and can't deal damage

[sudden hull]

what are the weaknesses

[dusk eagle]

Poison

[sudden hull]

is it just poison?

[dusk eagle]

Mhm

[sudden hull]

because that is a stadium fight she just has 28k hp

[dusk eagle]

But most attacks aren't even dealing 1k hp

[sudden hull]

i mean what area is this

[dusk eagle]

Area 7

[sudden hull]

cuz that sounds pretty typical for higher areas

like whats the stage in question

[dusk eagle]

Vs Diantha Gardevoir

[sudden hull]

ok but what mons

is there a gimmick

[sudden hull]

yeah thats just her stadium battle

[dusk eagle]

Like I'm pretty sure when I did her stadium battle I had fall Iris, Looker/Emma and some support

Maybe it's just lacking a support sync?

[sudden hull]

rally stats are increased as you go further

so right now its 70% more than what it usually is

[dusk eagle]

Wait so the ultimate battle is basically 100% harder than the regular one?

[sudden hull]

it has twice the offensive and defensive stats yes

[dusk eagle]

Also wouldn't using the boost for the battle, in this case champion just cancel that out for the ultimate and more than cancel for the lesser ones?

[sudden hull]

no

[dusk eagle]

Guess this explains why I'm struggling so much with the rally ultimate battles

[sudden hull]

ubs you’d want like 3 boosts to clear comfortably assuming you counter their gimmick as well

[dusk eagle]

Oof

[bright igloo]

I’ve been struggling with this for a while, should I ditch getting double the points (double support + sprint)? Marnie is without a doubt my best dark unit, but I could send a sc of the rest if that would help

[leaden wraith]

Do you have any support/sprint who can debuff stats reliably?

[dusk eagle]

Thanks for your help!

Btw I meant to thank you in general, picked an awkward message to reply on

Yeah if you have like ss Brendan he'd be great with Marnie

[sudden hull]

yeah uh you’re welcome

[reef magnet]

Would a Severe Sunday be enough to beat VH Palmer with SSAC, Rei/Chop and a Johto pair? I couldn't get any other theme skill boosts in my shop for some reason

[gentle maple]

u probably want something that accels your sync or a massive damage boost

Against palmer its a damage race

[reef magnet]

I already used Archer so he's out, same with NCSilver

[elfin tendon]

Ticking time bomb basically

[gentle maple]

Honestly I doubt the severe sundae will give u the win unless u were super close to the win

[elfin tendon]

[reef magnet]

my shop just would not give me anything but damage boosts like paralysis boost or flying-type moves

until now where it gave me Ghost and none of the 3 Mortys are gonna be doing much

[gentle maple]

Maybe dango/gelato or ultra jelly in the shop might give u the win

[reef magnet]

don't have them

[gentle maple]

I mostly default to hard when I see palmer so can't help

[reef magnet]

have attack jelly, severe sundae, evasion down boost, ghost theme skill, and electric moves

[gentle maple]

Attack jelly might do it with SSA Cynthia and rei both at 3/5, no guarantees tho I never tried that before

[reef magnet]

Rei's only 2/5 unfortunately

[gentle maple]

Chop 3/5?

[reef magnet]

also 2/5

[gentle maple]

Looks like a default to hard imo

Unless your Johto theme boost is really high

[kindred seal]

Wow, do I already have to spend my Adaman on Round 2? This is impossible without him.

[gentle maple]

Seems like they got rain boosted?

Can't remember this round

No way a2 hits so hard

[kindred seal]

Need terrain or weather. Need to drop defenses. Meanwhile I am being whalloped by relentless AOE spatk

[worthy tusk]

Any suggestions for this?

This is my boosted grass options.

Unless rei and Cynthia can off type?

[dusk eagle]

You'd definitely have to offtype unless maybe you could get Dawn to sync nuke enough?

[worthy tusk]

So something like this?

[stark dawn]

where's your weather

[worthy tusk]

Oh shoot

Tapu bulu?

[stark dawn]

sure

[worthy tusk]

It's not working

It needs Adaman but he isn't boosted....

Rei can't do anything for damage

[glass patrol]

What

[worthy tusk]

He isn't doing enough

I have to sync with Lucario every time to keep field up

So he can't sync

[glass patrol]

How much dammy

[worthy tusk]

And he only does a few thousand

[glass patrol]

Sus

How many boosts

[worthy tusk]

4

[glass patrol]

Very sus

[worthy tusk]

Hard will be easier since I can use caked frogs.....

[glass patrol]

Did you make sure rebuff applied at correct intervals

What is ur boost requirement

[worthy tusk]

What rebuff?

I can't rebuff anything

[glass patrol]

Eh?

Blue is right there

[worthy tusk]

I had to remove him for bulu

Because of the weather requirement

[glass patrol]

Then you’re

No

Argentas main gimmick is that

Yiu need a status change

If you have no status change NO ONE is doing good damage

[stark dawn]

you really need to remove the rain in order to not die tho lol

[glass patrol]

I suppose but still

[worthy tusk]

So... basically I'm screwed

Meloetta is already used

[glass patrol]

Use blue and accerola then

[worthy tusk]

I can't use Adaman as he isn't boosted and he kills this stage

[glass patrol]

Why can’t u use bulu blue tie

Rei

@worthy tusk poke

[stark dawn]

ssac has the role + rolex boost

[glass patrol]

O

Hm

If they have ncred or another striker rebuffer

It be doable

But those are rare

[kindred seal]

Damn even with two type boosts, opponent sync still nearly one-shots

[glass patrol]

That sounds like ur not interacting with a gimmick to me

[kindred seal]

This is unwinnable holy crap

[glass patrol]

Grass and winter thing?

Oh does this need terrain?

@kindred seal

[kindred seal]

Wants grassy terrain because clear advantage

But the whole thing wants Adaman for win button so it's hard to play around

[glass patrol]

Yeah it’s gonna hurt like heck without terrain

Wdym

Adaman doesn’t even set up terrain

[kindred seal]

Wait, so who is this for?

[gentle maple]

Zerena also applies restrain so maybe try her if rolex

[glass patrol]

It’s for winter Whitney

Just because it’s grass weak doesn’t mean it wants adaman lol

But yeah just

Get a terrain user

I see techs

You have options

Have fun

[worthy tusk]

I have all master fairs except Steven Rayquaza.

So I do have nc red

[glass patrol]

Oh then there you go

Time your rebuffs

She will remove it at 50% hp and when she does you sync with red

Other than that just go ham

[gentle maple]

Red has no bonus there lol

[glass patrol]

Wot am I blind

[gentle maple]

But I guess that will clear

It's support and sprint

[glass patrol]

Chronic blind hello I am stupid

I’ll go cry in a hole

[twilit chasm]

adaman fits most simply becuz he can solve at least 2 gimmicks of hers: weather and rebuff

[glass patrol]

That’s not argenta we’re talking about

[worthy tusk]

Oof

[glass patrol]

Do you have a rebuff support

[twilit chasm]

which argenta did you talk about

[worthy tusk]

What would those be?

[glass patrol]

We’re not

Let me check

I’m so used to saying Rosa

[kindred seal]

Well it wanted crushed defenses too. But I can do damage with weather up too. So why do I need the terrain?

[worthy tusk]

I have like 280 units so....I probably do

[glass patrol]

Let’s see

There’s penny

[twilit chasm]

you dont need terrain but it would help dmg

[glass patrol]

But she’d need to be 5/5

Which would be awful

There steven

Does he give 2 rebuffs tho

I don’t actually know what he does

[gentle maple]

I mean blue is a rebuff support

[glass patrol]

He is but

Oh wait

[twilit chasm]

ss ace cant?

[glass patrol]

[gentle maple]

The problem is the weather

[glass patrol]

U rite

[carmine glade]

Just bring both duh

[glass patrol]

I guess not but I just think psychic has overall stronger units , could be wrong depending on box

[worthy tusk]

So rei, acerola, blue?

[glass patrol]

I don’t think rei is the play

Well you can do that

But you lose the 2x

Which is sadge

But that will clear

[gentle maple]

Do u have Rolex zerena

[worthy tusk]

I have her yeah

[glass patrol]

Oh she works very well

[gentle maple]

Can probably try her, acerola and cynthia

[glass patrol]

I’m not sure if thousand waves dps is that high but if it’s not easy replace Cynthia with blue and your golden

[gentle maple]

Wait what's the boost agn lol

[glass patrol]

Support sprint

Oh wait you mean the type

[gentle maple]

Theme boost I mean

[worthy tusk]

Main character

[glass patrol]

Ye I realized fedge

Oh perfect

Serena is a mc

[gentle maple]

Yeah can try

[worthy tusk]

So

Serena, blue, tapu?

[gentle maple]

Serena cynthia tapu

If it fails change to blue

Restrain is a negative status change to act like rebuff here

[worthy tusk]

Sync with zygarde?

[glass patrol]

yis

[worthy tusk]

How do I get restrain?

[gentle maple]

Thousand waves

[kindred seal]

Well, Grassy Terrain cleared it. It just cost me my Eevee

[glass patrol]

pog

[gentle maple]

I think u actually sync with cynthia first tho

[worthy tusk]

Okay I'll give it a whirl

[glass patrol]

maybe idk ive heard shes useless pre sync

[worthy tusk]

Oh yeah that's true

[kindred seal]

Boom. And rewarded with a Lucky stage

[gentle maple]

Just to get that extra 3 turns from sprint

[sudden heron]

This + elite 4

[dusk eagle]

Question. So for my ultimate battle I have 3-2x boosts. But I'd probably only get to use one on the ultimate. Would it be wiser to do the lesser battle?

[gentle maple]

But well shouldn't affect much

[glass patrol]

im xorry what

[gentle maple]

This honestly depends on who u get for the UB

Also wdym by 3-2x boost

Theme boost?

[dusk eagle]

3 pairs have 2x boost so idk if doing the step down battle would be wiser

[gentle maple]

U only need 1 pair

For everyone to get the boost

[dusk eagle]

Strike support for Argenta. I have ss Lusamine, Serena Zygarde, and NC blue all ex roled. Each pair gives 2x points

Instead of the 1.5%

[glass patrol]

that can do it for sure

[dusk eagle]

I heavily doubt the trio handles the fight even if I drop one for ss acerola

[glass patrol]

well no actually i remember weather

you can just do 2 of them

and one bulu

[gentle maple]

U should probably ditch SS lusamine for a weather

[dusk eagle]

So bulu, zarena and NC blue Should cover?

[glass patrol]

ye

play zerena like normal

[dusk eagle]

I have 2 power ups for defense and 1 opponents rebuff

[gentle maple]

Is there a strike in your pool that can change weather

[dusk eagle]

Ik I can use acerola

[gentle maple]

Double dps is probably better here

[dusk eagle]

Not really. 1/5 rose needing his max move and bo candice

[glass patrol]

whats a bo candice

[dusk eagle]

Cuz if I'm dropping 2 of the 2x boosts for 1.5x the step down battle at all 3 pairs 2x boots could be better idk

Bp

[gentle maple]

It should cover

[dusk eagle]

Frosslass

[glass patrol]

oh right that thing

[dusk eagle]

Im just trying to figure what covers with the most points

[gentle maple]

The sst red + mix red special

[kindred seal]

Already on 3 type boosts for area4

[dusk eagle]

Major pointe

[worthy tusk]

And finally the annoying lady keeled over

[dusk eagle]

I'm glad! 😄

[worthy tusk]

Nothing like 4 sync counts by the time I only sync twice - two from Cynthia and 2 from zygarde

[dusk eagle]

And if it's ex role Cynthia -3 countdown it's faster too

[kindred seal]

Why is this battle so hard? I'm on area4 and have 3 boosts

[sudden hull]

he has sentry entry x2

this is for sc rosa

[kindred seal]

Ugh. They gotta disclose these things in a better way

Sorry I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of every battle in the game

[sudden hull]

well weakness is often a good telling sign for who ut was made for

grass weak with accuracy drops is what sc rosa would provide

[kindred seal]

I don't have SC Rosa so I don't know what she does

[normal python]

She has Sweet Scent, which AoE lowers evasion by 2 stages and the enemy has constant AoE accuracy drop

[kindred seal]

I didn't see constant accuracy drops

I saw one Growl before sync and sometimes a special shield, so I wasn't sure which attack type, if any, was preferred

We've strayed too far from the innocent beginnings that the pokemon center npc help doesn't keep up. All they say is some Pokemon have higher defense than special defense. But there is often no tell

[half bone]

Does Thorton clear out debuffs and such?

[sudden hull]

no

[half bone]

Ah. So once type rebuff is on him, he's never getting it off?

[sudden hull]

yeah

its not like argenta

[half bone]

alright. so basically, NC Leaf eats.

[sudden hull]

yeah she was designed for thorton

[half bone]

Half wondering if I can try sneaking in LuSSa for more points.

alongside NC Leaf and (possibly) NC Blue.

[sudden hull]

hm

if nc leaf isnt 3/5 it might be hard

[half bone]

3/5

Ah, no, not 3/5, derp

I have 4 Tech candies.

[sudden hull]

id say go with a role boosted physical dps then

nc leaf should still be able to carry the first half with sync

[half bone]

It's Striker/Support for the last area.

I have options.

Maybe Silver, I suppose?

Nc Silver, I mean.

[glass patrol]

if you look closelsy as the battle starts theyll splurge their passives at the start

so if you notice a distinct lack of damage you should restart hte battle at x1 sped and note all the passives they have

these days the passives are very self explanatory tho

[half bone]

I think he does clear rebuff on second sync. Barely managed to get through in time before then and saw him clear it off himself.

[sudden hull]

he doesnt

[half bone]

I saw him clearing a whole bunch, I'm pretty sure.

[sudden hull]

yeah stats

not rebuff

[half bone]

I didn't see stat rebuff on him at the end.

maybe I might have missed something?

[sudden hull]

it probably got cut off

cuz it will scroll to a second set of debuffs and status changes

but he doesnt clear rebuff

we would’ve known if he does like argenta

[ebon valve]

PSA: Monthly & Rally exchanges refresh at this reset at <t:1711951217:R>. Be sure to do your exchanges.

[plush anchor]

Yaaaaas

I can do rally agai

Wait for me in like 9 hours, I will be crying about a horrible set

[karmic briar]

I’ll be there

[half bone]

and next time. boost is Rival Bonus.

[wary kayak]

Freebie was Fairy upgrade. First shop sucked but it was just Johto League, so I cleared round 1 without trouble. Now there's Unova Upgrade in the shop... Maybe I should get it? This is my role pattern

Tech Support at round 10 means the frogs can crush Anabel. But Unova...

Think I'll do it. SS Hilbert can fit on an anti-Anabel or anti-Thorton team, thanks to his type shift and rebuffs

[sudden hull]

ss hilbert on anabel sounds awful

[dense latch]

Let’s be positive. We are hitting 10k whatever comes! 😂

[wary kayak]

Hm? He helps debuff, he has a water attack, and he'd have the two frogs with him

[leaden wraith]

The thing is that team having almost to zero survivability

It's not a problem with 5 or 6 theme boosts tho but if you only intend to buy 1 or 2 then you are doomed

Or buy Guard Chocolat or Half Cake

[wary kayak]

Well, it probably won't be Anabel and I'll have to come up with some probably-deranged other plan for whomever I do end up facing

[sudden hull]

fire weak

[wary kayak]

Shit, he is? That does pose a huge problem

Thank you

[leaden wraith]

Btw we can't tell you how good a theme boost is without knowing your roster of that theme

[sudden hull]

i mean its the only weakness he can have

but yeah its not gonna be fun

[wary kayak]

I realize this is late (already stacked three Unova upgrades) but my Unova roster is this plus all genpool/story pairs

Shop has Supereffective Dmg Up. Hm...

[stark dawn]

don't that's not a good item

[wary kayak]

Indeed...

Rally has us offtyping a lot

[simple frost]

Not all the time but it depends on case to case like if u have a lot of techs for all the ubs, i think u could get away with 1 of it

[wary kayak]

I'm worried because two of my shop slots are already occupied by the freebie Fairy upgrade and Unova upgrade. Buying this would also mean further reducing the odds of damage multipliers for Any Stat Up or Any Stat Down or Crit

[simple frost]

Skip the seun i suppose

[leaden wraith]

You should only focus on a theme skill to avoid team restrictions

[wary kayak]

Thank gods, a good one finally spawned at round 9

[wary kayak]

It was Lucy. That wasn't so bad. Thanks for the input. See you all next week (or even tomorrow)

[severe bronze]

i see a support/tech

[wary kayak]

Ye

I could've tried a funny trifecta with Neo Leaf, but I absolutely needed a Unova pair for my theme upgrade. Fortunately, N&Kyurem can counter Lucy's speed boosts

And stack debuffs for Serena to exploit while he's at it

Traded in my medals and now to sit tight until next month (i.e. tomorrow)

[severe bronze]

nice

[hybrid abyss]

fuck I forgot about BR

[timid hound]

I'll do it for you — give me your entry ticket

[hybrid abyss]

I wish..

anyways, since I'm short on time, I think I'mm just gonna buy the any debuff power boost

[hybrid abyss]

LUCKY AREA 8 WITH SUPPORT/SPRINT

8775 POINTS B4 ARE 9 HOLY SHIT

[simple frost]

47 minutes left lets go 😄

[hybrid abyss]

OH HELL YEAH LUCY

oh shit I don't have any way of removing poison

unless I give everyone AntiToxin or some bs

[simple frost]

What's the Role Bonuses?

[hybrid abyss]

this is so unfortunate; Alexa, play Despacito.

supp/sprint

[simple frost]

ussed SS Gladion already?

[hybrid abyss]

nope, btu he doesn't have role cake, and I already got Chase, Zerena, and NCRosa lined up

gotta give Antitoxin to everyone

[simple frost]

dang zerena has status immunity too xD

[hybrid abyss]

ur joking

omg

[simple frost]

She does have it

Lol

3/5 option

all you need is someone that can debuff Speed and you're good enough xD

[hybrid abyss]

time to fish with NCRosa

[simple frost]

what's your upgrades? Main Character?

You can definitely run Clemont if you need Speed aoe debuffing

ah wait no Support/Sprint

I'm thinking of Lodge Jasmine can do speed down

[fair ember]

Wow!

[hybrid abyss]

speaking of... holy shit I have 9675 points

bad news is that I don't have my theme boost cuz it's gym leader

[simple frost]

how much o an upgrade?

2 or something?

[hybrid abyss]

do I forego Chase for a Gym Leadaer?

[simple frost]

I'd just grab Clemont then :x

[hybrid abyss]

1 ... and extra in shop if need be

[simple frost]

or Lodge Jasmine

[hybrid abyss]

my supports get to shot, so it'd be nice to have some sortof bulk

[simple frost]

but with 1? its rough.

anything else in shop though?

[hybrid abyss]

I do also have the severe sundae in thie shop, which is intriguing

wanted guard chocolat though

[simple frost]

I think you can run Lodge Jasmine to get 750 pts

if you have her

[hybrid abyss]

ughh... so close to the perfect run

[simple frost]

She has antitoxin and can drop speed

assuming your opponent iss Paralyzed

[hybrid abyss]

give me a grid quick

holdup... am I keeping 2/5 Chase or 3/5 NCRosa?

[simple frost]

NC Rosa for buffing :x

[hybrid abyss]

yeh thought so

[simple frost]

If you had MPizza though

Chase would be hilarious.

just keep nuking with Zerena wwww

[fair ember]

You hv 20 mins left

Might as well just close it off

[simple frost]

yeah

[fair ember]

Dont waste ur 9000

[simple frost]

Jasmine can tank a bit so that's fine.

[hybrid abyss]

u really think I'ma tank with her?!?!?

omg I'm beating her so easily

[simple frost]

Lol

[hybrid abyss]

10.5k LES GOOOOO

[simple frost]

bought an upgrade or nah?

[hybrid abyss]

Nah, I'd win.

[simple frost]

kewl

[hybrid abyss]

holy shit... didn't know of any UB gimmicks that well, so seeing Lucy being demolished was really something

Yo tysm @simple frost! I'd probably still be scrambling my head if not for you!

[simple frost]

Lucy is actually easier compared to the other UBs

as long as you can counter her Speed Buffs AND her poison

she's dead in the water.

320k~ HP is also pretty easy compared to the others

[hybrid abyss]

trying to optimize balance the BR points and stages is always gonna be somewhat taxing to me

[simple frost]

this is why i grab at leaast 3 upgrades of theme boosts + 1-2 daamage upgrades.
Maybe MPizza if its available

[hybrid abyss]

In my recent run, I got away with 1 Gym Leader, 3 Any Stat Debuff Power+
= 250 points investment

[timid hound]

Nicee

[hybrid abyss]

holdup, lemme send the screenshot since this is a pretty big milestone

... maybe I shall put it in my dead ass thread.

[simple frost]

aight time to clear these dailies

[normal python]

Now let's see what I get this week

[simple frost]

not the worst

[normal python]

Oh fuck yeah, electric upgrade

[simple frost]

not the worst, up against Flying Weak Victor Hmm.

I think i'll wait for SS May's Ex Role

[rustic dagger]

yikes

[rustic dagger]

do u have a link for that template

[simple frost]

what template?

Oh

you mean my spreadsheet? lol

[simple frost]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gt06-tHgdfULs49_zyPhOOIJBY57sAJK3Uk4rdkTx1A/edit?usp=sharing here ya go

just make a copy of my "Original" one

[rustic dagger]

ty

[pearl lion]

FINALLY A GOOD BOOST

fuck yeah

uh ok? could be worse

saving ssa cynthia I guess

also means almost no 2x bonuses from roll cakes

[leaden wraith]

It's joever... until Rival is offered in the shop

[gentle maple]

The planning looks good

Now how do I pull this off is the question

[muted sparrow]

Oh it isn’t as bad as i thought

[gentle maple]

I got fairy start lol

[muted sparrow]

I have V Noland and V Thoron

[rustic dagger]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009564564821639379/1224241639380226118/image.png?ex=661cc6e0&is=660a51e0&hm=1c848df43e8fd841364252a7f8a8a8ea15079766e161b76d16abcb5ea947682a& not the worst from that pattern

[severe bronze]

i got e1

the one with 8 field stage

[ionic sigil]

Fighting boost this week. Kinda bad I think

[sweet mango]

Started with rival upgrade and bought one and got main character upgrade in the shop. Is rival or main character better?

[simple frost]

I think Main Character is better

[hybrid abyss]

main, unless you're planning to run SSGlad and NCSilv on A10

tho dik what you'd do with that A10 role combo with main so

nvm... NCRosa and Chase are right there

[urban ledge]

… not the worst but we could do better. Let’s check out the shop

That is the opposite of better damn you

[simple frost]

what's the role bonus track looking like?

[normal python]

Why am I using Cerena on ghost-weak Will?

[timid hound]

Good thing I picked up Volo lmao

Johto Upgrade

[simple frost]

ugh i havae to wait for Friday for SS May Upgrade.

[timid hound]

Real

[simple frost]

i COULD go into it, but my opponent is up against Flying weak Victor 😦

[normal python]

Wow, I actually planned properly for once

[timid hound]

Rei, I want your opinion

Yes or No?

[normal python]

Area 7 and 8 has strike role bonus and Area 9 and 10 has support role bonus, perfect for NC Blue

[simple frost]

is that Champions i see?

[timid hound]

Yeah

[simple frost]

Post Champions ❤️

[timid hound]

On sale as well

My Johto box isn't terrible but not amazing either

[simple frost]

• Role Bonus?

[timid hound]

What do you mean?

My pattern?

[simple frost]

yeah pattern

[timid hound]

Field Day baby

Literally

[simple frost]

how many champions u got with Field?

Geeta gaming? Geeta gaming if so

[normal python]

SST Red gaming

[timid hound]

I have all MF

[simple frost]

that also works for A10

Then yeah

[timid hound]

So yeah Geeta gaming

[simple frost]

Champion gaming xD

[timid hound]

Shift to Champ?

Okay

I'm really worried about A10 lmao

[simple frost]

just save SST Red for that

and maybe NC Serena and NC Calem

[timid hound]

Who's tanking?

NCCalem is neither Field nor Tech

[urban ledge]

Two possibilities

[simple frost]

Save NC Serena/NC Calem for A10 tb

you could use them on A07

[timid hound]

Oh I have SSSteven

[simple frost]

uh for A10

[timid hound]

Easyge

[simple frost]

Oh For A1

[timid hound]

Oh don't worry about A1-9

[simple frost]

ii think you can tank with Steven if you have him pfft

[urban ledge]

Hoping I get the A10 Tech support one lol

[carmine glade]

End me now

[timid hound]

I'm only worried about A10

Thanks for the advice

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/jumpscare-rei-arceus-legends-pokemon-gif-24685175

[simple frost]

Definitely SST Red for A10 then.

NC Serena for Rebuffs, and SS Steven to tank with yeah.

[carmine glade]

Don’t have him

[simple frost]

Alola and Sinnoh?

What about Riley?

also post your shop too, maybe you've got something there for ssheningans.

[carmine glade]

Used him already

[simple frost]

what's that H item? and I item?

below the Dragon Upgrade

and the ATK+4 one

[carmine glade]

Guard chicolat

And jelly

[simple frost]

which jelly?

[simple frost]

Its possible then.

Post your Sinnoh and Alola Strikes, and w/e sprints you've got

your goal is to bring enough damage before he syncss or uses his max move.

[carmine glade]

Idk maybe I could do nc silver ssa and Cynthia but that sounds bad

Cause like all 3 want sync

[normal python]

Fuck me, I got Anabel again

[simple frost]

I think you could do it with all three.

as for syncing go, i think you do SS Lusamine with her TM + Propulsion 1, sync with Aura Cynthia and then sync with SS Tyranitar

if SS Lusamine isn't EX roled

then go Aura Cynthia and SS Tyranitar twice.

[normal python]

Goddamn this man, how many times did I get Anabel as my VH for A10?

[simple frost]

if you couldn't do it with that team, see how much damage you did, aand then buy the Ultra Jelly

[carmine glade]

She is exr

[simple frost]

you're essentially at 400% stat boost.

[urban ledge]

Alright I got this pattern

Gonna do the test later

[timid hound]

Man I really hate how Rose is slow asf

Doesn't help I'm against Glacia spamming Icy Wind

Okay nice we did it

Just had to have the other 2 pairs use literally no gauge

[simple frost]

if you think the gauge is kinda bad, you can do Cynthia, she has Propulsion % on her TM. which is wild. lol

[timid hound]

That's true actually

Actually no I can't

BP Karen has to tank

Or at least a Johto

That's strike

Wait why didn't I use Cynthia yeah wtf

Game bad filter

[carmine glade]

Well that was a run

[timid hound]

HUH

YOU CAN DISPLAY %?

New QOL

[simple frost]

Yes

[timid hound]

Real

[simple frost]

any other base techs?

or rather Sprints?

[timid hound]

Okay time to run DPS Phoebe

[timid hound]

Congrats

[sweet mango]

Zerena is my only strike/support

Should have caked ss lusamine

[simple frost]

tbh i think you could drop down to against Anabel for 600 pts @carmine glade
NC Silver, Cynthia and NC Blue 😭

[craggy helm]

[timid hound]

Omg twinning

[timid hound]

Let's have a field day

[simple frost]

what's your Role Bonus + Free Upgrades + Shop looking like? D;

[craggy helm]

🤝

[craggy helm]

I got the psychic type upgrade which I can work with thankfully, shop isn't too eventful

[normal python]

Well, got 8800 pts. this week with only 100 spent

[carmine glade]

Not bad ig

[normal python]

Hoping for next week to give a good boost

Like fire, ice, Kanto, MC, rival, etc.

[simple frost]

did ya beat Palmer? :o? or Anabel H?

[carmine glade]

Anabel

[simple frost]

well a clear's a clear o/

[oblique breach]

I got Battle Facility Foe

[carmine glade]

I only got Palmer to like half

[normal python]

I'm honestly surprised that NC Leaf worked as a solo dmaage dealer for Anabel

And I didn't even use Vigilance

[simple frost]

with howw much upgrade?

[normal python]

Only 2 electric upgrade

[simple frost]

surprised you didnt get burned o.o;

[normal python]

NC Leaf got burnt by Heat Wave, but I still had NC Blue's B Move

[timid hound]

Real

[plush anchor]

Time to find out what my set holds for me

[pearl lion]

did relatively ok I guess?

[simple frost]

oh damn. Hmm

[pearl lion]

w/ these rounds

[normal python]

That's the same amount of points I have except I spent only 100 instead of 300

[plush anchor]

I would consider this good

[gentle maple]

My best one yet

[plush anchor]

Lucky/no lucky?

[pearl lion]

yeah I was afraid of getting thorton again

[gentle maple]

Lucky area

[carmine glade]

Wtf

[plush anchor]

No tech/support stages and that's my most caked role

[carmine glade]

[gentle maple]

Could've been 150 more if I waited for ss may

[gentle maple]

There's the planning couldn't squeeze mix red into lucky area cause can't use 4 sync pairs

[normal python]

Damn, I'm jealous

[gentle maple]

16 Rolex used

17 if ss may is available

Clutched out area 9 with NC red op freeze turn denies too

With no theme boost since it was fairy and fighting

[carmine glade]

I’m waiting for SS hilda and celesa exr

Another tech sprint besides archer would be nice

[normal python]

I need more sprint and field roles

[dense latch]

Lol so much dmg coming

[normal python]

With or without lucky area?

[sweet mango]

With

[hasty marlin]

finally at week 10, boys

[sweet mango]

But i only had 1 strike and support

[hasty marlin]

and my seeds one of these...

of course its the one with like the MOST variance

[gentle maple]

Without lucky I would be 9,750 medals

Really close to 10k

[hasty marlin]

hooh, this is gonna be a wild variance--...oh great

trackers april fools is back

i forgot this was a thing

im tempted to just instantly accept johto here buut im not sure

not feeling great with e4 on ub answers

[gentle maple]

I should remember this seed since it's the highest possible score and riskiest score for me

[hasty marlin]

oh god wtf are these lmaoooo i havent seen a good bulk of these april fools ones

[simple frost]

Hell yeah, got Champion Upgrade.

[bronze aspen]

I got this for a10, how does one tackle thorton?

[plush anchor]

By killing him with fire

[bronze aspen]

Yes, anything else?

What's his stage gimmick?

[plush anchor]

Use your themes boosts, a cracked fire unit
You will handle him

[bronze aspen]

My strongest tech fire is n

[plush anchor]

Works

I guess

[normal python]

He gains x3 defensive stats if he's not afflicted with a status change. He starts off with Sentry Entry x3 and switches to Wise Entry x3 when he reaches 60% HP

Sides have Sentry Entry x3

[bronze aspen]

Status change like rebuffs?

[normal python]

Yes

[bronze aspen]

Hmmm

[simple frost]

Hmm should i wait for SS May's EX Role or can i beat Area 2 with Geeta, Chase 2R and one of my Field Units?

[bronze aspen]

So he calls for a mixed attacker?

[normal python]

Yes

[plush anchor]

Or a cracked unit

[bronze aspen]

Shame I can't bring any kanto unit...

[plush anchor]

No Moltres?

[bronze aspen]

Nope

[nimble tide]

Okay imagine

[normal python]

Also, your bonus roles are literally perfect for the unit made for Thorton

[nimble tide]

Round 10 anabel

But all the units that give a bonus

[simple frost]

ah screw it. I'll wait for the EX Role 😭

[nimble tide]

Are weak to fire

[bronze aspen]

I don't have her 🫠

[nimble tide]

Ssa Cynthia, Riley and SS Gladion

Thank god for apple cup otherwise i'm fucked

[normal python]

What a waste TBH

[nimble tide]

The bonus was strike sprint

I'd rather do that

[normal python]

Who was your VH stage?

[nimble tide]

Anabel

[dense latch]

Sigh 11 2.0 only 9.3k. So basically I need to use 16x 2.0 pairs every time to get 10k

[nimble tide]

I don't care if it's waste

I ended up with 9.3k

[normal python]

Yeah, nah, hard stage without Apple Cup is still better

[nimble tide]

And well

[carmine glade]

Where the debuffs

[normal python]

Apple Cup

[nimble tide]

Apple cup counters anabel hard

The debuffs

[carmine glade]

Ah right

[nimble tide]

The differences are not even that big

[gentle maple]

More like 17

[nimble tide]

When it comes to optimizing score so

I'm fine with it

Lol

[normal python]

200 * 3.5= 700
300 * 3.5 - 500= 550

[gentle maple]

And for consistent 17 Rolex to come into play for rally I would say u need 25-35 rolex

[hasty marlin]

Tech bias seed. C1-c

[dense latch]

I reckon 20 as long as you have a good mix

[nimble tide]

150 points

For a guaranteed win

And this is coming from really bad bonuses from the start like trial giver

So yeah, lol

I don't think i'll cry over 150

[dense latch]

Plus. Apple cup is an enjoyment

[nimble tide]

Make it 1200 pts

4.0 bonus

Only 100 dif

So

[hasty marlin]

Huh.

Nuke only

[dense latch]

Sux

[nimble tide]

I'm only losing like what? One feather?

For a guaranteed win with units that are not nearly that strong and can lose on Hard

[hasty marlin]

Was hoping it’d be sync buff not nuke only

[karmic briar]

IT HAPPENED

I already used 2 out of 3 of my tech + strike units but I’m giving Cynthia her cake to celebrate

[hasty marlin]

If you have strike techs left then bye Neo champs lmao

[simple frost]

Strike Tech lets gooooooo

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/egghead-wheeze-gif-21913561

Fwiw I got sprintfield lucky last week

[karmic briar]

Keeping ncblue

[dense latch]

Bicio how many rolex you got now

[hasty marlin]

I just realized.

I have to beat a10 with a static team don’t I…

[karmic briar]

20

[nimble tide]

Luccsacc

[hasty marlin]

Not quite static but I need to do ncred and anni Lillie

Anni Lillie gonna screw me over

Bye gauge

[austere cipher]

lucky

[severe bronze]

just make her do nothing like i did

[hasty marlin]

On a10????

[severe bronze]

she tank and potion

yes

[hasty marlin]

How many buffs did you have

[severe bronze]

i did get darach though

[hasty marlin]

And what partners

[severe bronze]

this was two weeks ago i believe

nc red lillie and uh

chop?

yeah i think its chop

[hasty marlin]

Don’t have chop

I guess prob Steven defense form gaming?

[severe bronze]

which ub

[hasty marlin]

Dunno I’m on a2

Only used wikstrom

And egg

[severe bronze]

well prioritize double bonus first then see what you can work with from there

[hasty marlin]

I have to wait a little bit cause I think mayziken gets sprint exr this week

And map has tech sprint

It’s the tech bias one starting from tech support

Progress on shop meanwhile from leftover medals

[gentle maple]

That good mix will require u to invest in some support+tech

[hasty marlin]

Got a full cake ready in tickets rn

[astral path]

WHO IS THIS STAGE MADE FOR?? I’ve been stuck here for an hour and breaking my brain because I just can’t figure it out

[hasty marlin]

Considering that tech support also shows up think might let may wait in favor of Steven this week

[severe bronze]

kanto nc?

[hasty marlin]

Kanto Neo bc

[severe bronze]

you want negative status change

[hasty marlin]

Have fun with fucking on typing all three

[astral path]

That’s the only thing I could think of and I’m not NOT burning them on the third fuckin area

[hasty marlin]

[severe bronze]

you can cheat with pblow unit

anni n i

[astral path]

I’ve gotten really close with anni N

[hasty marlin]

Pblow, Gilbert, mew,

Mew gaming

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

[astral path]

I tried mew… that was my first reaction… then he just did nothing

[carmine glade]

I mean

Hilbert has rebuff

And for 5 types so he could do it

[astral path]

Yeah I’ll try Hilbert with rebuff and just spam metal sound

And N can just focus on dps

[carmine glade]

Nah what

I meant hilbert dps

[hasty marlin]

Hilbert ontypes all theee

Three

Use him for dps

His techno blast hurts

And answers gimmick

[carmine glade]

Hilbert blast covers bug water fire electric and ice

[severe bronze]

hilbert blast 😭

[astral path]

I just tried him and he takes too long to set up. By the time I clicked my first TBlast he was almost one shot

[severe bronze]

i think you can just use anni n and sun setter
