Battle Rally

[timid hound]

That was a joke

Go gettem

[worthy tusk]

Yeah she does

It finally worked

[timid hound]

[wary kayak]

...Shit, I might still end up with 10k.

[timid hound]

I am never wrong

[leaden wraith]

hi never wrong

[timid hound]

[wary kayak]

L m a o
The fight designed for Neo Leaf to whoop its ass

[wary kayak]

[simple frost]

Noice

[normal python]

I'm still mad at my 9300 pts. with lucky area

[hasty marlin]

anyone here remember the 2nd anni CB?

just got it in my rally

trying to remember the gimmick

[leaden wraith]

Tough Skin

[hasty marlin]

whats tough skin again

[leaden wraith]

reduces non supereffective dmg

[hasty marlin]

gross

supp sprint on that stage just sounds disgusting

[leaden wraith]

at least your pairs have bulky

[hasty marlin]

vampdeer saved me from having to worry bout the first 3 stages at least too much

i forget who this was advertising again.

[leaden wraith]

Palentine's Elesa and Mallow

you should use physical dmg

which is fortunately covered by Geeta

[hasty marlin]

problem is its supp sprint

last stage with strike field

so had just used my 2.0xs of the stage

[leaden wraith]

ah mb, didn't notice the lack of bonus

[hasty marlin]

dps options

remaining stages

thinkin one of the sprint/(tech or strike)s

[leaden wraith]

how about NC Silver + Mayziken?

you can run Mayziken for 3 rounds

[hasty marlin]

got 3 unova boosts and~~ 3 ~~ 4 crit boosts now

now im at the stretch of 2.0xs... the problem is the unova boost doesnt help for two stages LMAO

[leaden wraith]

You are not using NC Rosa till the end?

[hasty marlin]

ive got triples for suppstrike and supptech

[leaden wraith]

Can go with stun strat if possible

Yeah you can, with both teams

[hasty marlin]

palmer

https://tenor.com/view/panda-facepalm-oh-no-worried-anxious-gif-17616305

[leaden wraith]

No offensive Field or Support EXR left?

[hasty marlin]

redchu

dassit

maytias too but

she doesnt count at 1/5

[leaden wraith]

Yeah you should give him a try at least

I think it's enough

[hasty marlin]

i gotta kill palmer with redchu+ssteven+1

as my best bet

[leaden wraith]

How is your Unovan Electric type

[hasty marlin]

shame i didnt have good opportunity to toy with CCheren this rally despite it being good theme for him

heres the onrole unovas remaining

https://tenor.com/view/detective-conan-conan-edogawa-sarcastic-laugh-unamused-gif-19043667

[leaden wraith]

SS Elesa then

She helps with sync accel

You should try with Deoxys Speed too

[hasty marlin]

deoxys speed or deoxys attack forme? which should i try for my first attempt, gakon?

[muted sparrow]

Deoxys speed is helpful than atk here

[hasty marlin]

and should i lead with max move to apply paralyze?

[muted sparrow]

Yup

How many upgrades are you having rn ?

[hasty marlin]

3 unova 4 crit

[muted sparrow]

SS Steven/SST Red/SS Elesa should be simple

What LS they are having ?

[leaden wraith]

CS2 on SST Red is fine

[hasty marlin]

iirc redchu has cs1, elesa hs1, and deoxys cs2

im broke on the

lol

[muted sparrow]

Dont worry

That good enough

[hasty marlin]

ah deoxys is cs1 'd too

just checked

[muted sparrow]

HS1 on Elesa is pretty good

You can do turn 1 Sync

Without spending Elesa’s Tm

[hasty marlin]

got to use elesa tm 3 times that run

9k, not bad for not using like half my exr pool

oh gross next week's gonna be E3 Kanto?

im behind by 1 ticket since i fully forgor one week recently, but least that means i see my map a little early

[hasty marlin]

least im guaranteed to get to mess with CCheren this week in this mode

[normal python]

Normal upgrade, kinda mad

[leaden wraith]

Rival upgrade for me

[normal python]

Huh, lucky

[leaden wraith]

oh no i'm getting field focused seed

with Field Tech on A10

the famous SST Red seed

[normal python]

So I got this

[mental raft]

Tech Supp at start
Many ways

[normal python]

So you got what I got last week

[mental raft]

I don't know the complete seed yet!

[wary kayak]

One of those steady cycling rolesets, which would be nicer if it didn't end in Sprintfield

[normal python]

I'd take anyone but Anabel

[nimble tide]

Same deal as last week

[dense latch]

What a horrible set

[timid hound]

It's joever, ladies and gents

[simple frost]

No no no -> YES YES YES YES

Champion Upgrade AND Def Down Power?

[timid hound]

Rags to riches story LOL

[simple frost]

i'm down

[timid hound]

I have BFF in Shop

💀

Let's see my pattern

I got SSTRed seed

No support sprint dump

Looks lile a high 8k week

THREE Sprintfield

Pivot or punted moment

[leaden wraith]

oh hey we got the same seed

[timid hound]

Twinning

Now who got the worse starting boost?

[simple frost]

oh right she has Healthy Advantage 4 or something

[leaden wraith]

is Rival worse than Fairy

[normal python]

I got normal boost

[timid hound]

Rival is not worse than Fairy

[carmine glade]

Rival is more diverse

It’s not even close

[timid hound]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-should-been-gif-23901254

[urban ledge]

Psychic isn’t the worst but ugh I hate this kind of type pattern

[simple frost]

hrm i dont like this.

[timid hound]

I don't like PokéCollectors either

💢

[crisp spindle]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/battle-rally how are you supposed to use the battle rally tool if the only scope you can buy is the $300 one that makes them all visible anyways?

[dense latch]

Anyone got quick maths?

max points two with one stage no points (repeat the field strike twice)

Or

Max points one stage and just min points for the rest

[simple frost]

rough hrm

[leaden wraith]

using the tool you will know the roles of each round, but some seeds require A2 or even A3's roles to be known

[simple frost]

oh interesting

[urban ledge]

The heck is that pattern lol

[astral path]

Wonderful life choices are about to be made

https://tenor.com/view/fma-roy-mustang-mustang-roy-sad-gif-12080741

Is this what I get for flexing all 4 Regis on the CS this week?

[prisma gyro]

It's Norman gaming time ig

[rustic dagger]

yikes i got the same as last week

tuff luck i suppose

[prisma gyro]

Leafvee gaming

[timid hound]

I have more Sprintfield Fairy than Sprintfield Alola

Guess I'll roll with Fairy for now

Shop really isn't throwing me any bones

Screw you Tricia!

[simple frost]

1 BC and 4 CSMM fights hrm

Bede's fight i think?

hrm. do i use Mix Red here or SST Red? HRm

[timid hound]

Finally some good food

[carmine glade]

Selene

Red is too good to use

[leaden wraith]

hey dude we are getting the same luck

i just got a lucky stage too

on A7

[simple frost]

A08 o/

lol they really want me to look at A10 eh

[mental raft]

[leaden wraith]

role focused seeds my behatred

[simple frost]

Darach eh.

wwhose better ffor A10, Geeta, SST Red, Mix Red?

[mental raft]

Only double bonuse I can get is A7, and A10
Rei, Riley, Poppy, SC Irida & NC Cheren(Can cake him)

I am not happy with this

[carmine glade]

It doesn’t matter

Darach only wants a field effect

Which all 3 do

[simple frost]

welp time to use SST Red against Shauntaal then

oh wait nvm. hrm

[carmine glade]

Do you n or have any double bonus

[simple frost]

uh Geeta and Mix Red basicaally

[mental raft]

Wait A4 Leon too but, umm I think 8k then

[simple frost]

fforgot its strike/sprint so SST Red is off the table

[carmine glade]

You can sort by exr and it’ll show doubles first

[simple frost]

pfft

Nice shop

Ultra Jelly too

lets go o/

[plush anchor]

I am scared to look at my seed

Someone motivate me

[simple frost]

check shop? 😮

[plush anchor]

will go do dat now

Kalos upgrade

This can be really good

Or really bad

First stage sprint field

Oh boy

Bright start

[timid hound]

Need some team building advice

[rustic dagger]

yeah have fun with that

+101

[hexed patio]

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

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

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

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

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

[rustic dagger]

[timid hound]

Boosts: 1x Fairy 1x Rebuff Power Up

Who tanks?

[rustic dagger]

courtney

[timid hound]

Thinking about switching Courtney → Adaman

No rebuffs in this team

SSTRed should be able to debuff Spd with Shocking Slowdown

[leaden wraith]

hmm no real tank might hurt

[timid hound]

But I'm afraid Adaman might be too frail

I need Volo

Well I do have other Fairies but they're bad

[plush anchor]

Courtney your best tanking bet

Or red I guess

[leaden wraith]

have you given the team a try?

[timid hound]

No

[leaden wraith]

if it fails, see if another purchase of Fairy can solve the issue

[timid hound]

Okay

But should I swap Courtney to a rebuffer tho

Otherwise Rebuff PU is wasted

[rustic dagger]

well naturally yes

get a rebuffer

the boost is better than some SE attacks

[molten ice]

Starting boost was fire in team, bought it 3 times, VH was Palmer but I used NCBianca before so I was not even close to surviving
At least I got max boost lucky stage in area 9

[timid hound]

This feels so ratchet

Well here I go

Oh wow

This team is very possible

Just need to brush up my Synthesis timings and critfish

[leaden wraith]

Finished my rally run details here: #1053291896778264597 message

getting the lucky stage saved my score

[timid hound]

Never doubt me

VoloGOD

His random af field effects came in clutch

[mental raft]

Looks like I will need a field setter in all the areas!

[timid hound]

I don't get it

[fair ember]

Darach died when my team full health lolol

Just hv alola and champion upgrade

[craggy helm]

I GOT THE SAME AREAS BACK TO BACK????? HELLO??????

[timid hound]

Happy for you / Sorry that happened

[timid hound]

So did you clear or are you having trouble?

[craggy helm]

I don’t wanna deal with this again man 😭🥲

[timid hound]

You got this

[craggy helm]

We don’t even get any more field units until next week 😭 Larry doesn’t release until next Friday

[hexed crane]

Guess I’m doing anabel

[urban ledge]

Hmm

I won’t always hit for SE but still…

Ehh skip it

[timid hound]

Yeah that PU isn't very good for that reason

[gentle maple]

It's a bait

[timid hound]

Super Effectiveness is a low priority over fulfilling gimmicks or role bonuses

Sometimes you may not even be able to hit SE

[half sonnet]

So, do I take Normal or Rock upgrade?

[urban ledge]

Man

I think I’m gonna waste SS Morty early in Area 5 lol

Oh my god acute senses I hate you so much

[simple frost]

how much upgrades?

tbh.... Darach died to Mix Red, Geeta and NC Blue with 3x CHampion + 3x Opp Def Down Power

[bronze aspen]

Broke: darach is made for ss cynthia
Woke: darach is made for gordie

[simple frost]

i should've used SST Red in Tech/Field though ;_;

[leaden wraith]

Neither

[half sonnet]

Ah, so do I hope I get a better upgrade later?

[leaden wraith]

Yeah

[daring tide]

water upgrade and johto upgrade should i snag em?
(got water as my starter upgrade also)

[quiet tiger]

Same seed as last week but with a good boost

[leaden wraith]

How is your Johto roster

[urban ledge]

Dammit stuck on Argenta

[twilit chasm]

i see you beg for anabel

[urban ledge]

lol

[simple frost]

whaat's your shop looking like @urban ledge ?

[leaden wraith]

Do you have pairs like Ingo or sup Fuecoco?

Wait that team should win easily

[urban ledge]

Yeah trying to find the right rotation

[leaden wraith]

Save NC Leaf's till 50% HP threshold, and summon sun asap

Use Crit Shield when Argenta is about to use second and third sync

That's it

[urban ledge]

Oh now I remember this woman erases my rebuffs haha

Thanks doing it again later

[simple frost]

NC Leaf can do rebuff when she syncs. NC Serena also can rebuff, twice.

[urban ledge]

Goddammit I got the rebuff timing wrong

[urban ledge]

There we go lol. Things got a little hairy when I mistargeted NC’s sync and had to fight without flare blitz lol

Thanks guys

Could have squeezed 150 more points if I could figure out how to get another Strike Tech through lol

[daring tide]

genuine question who is actually able to clear a10 without apple cup because oh my gawdddd this shit STINKS

[leaden wraith]

if you want to get help please provide the context

[daring tide]

ill probably just resort to apple cup again but may as well try a few more times
vs lucy ground weak
role bonuses are support/strike
item bonuses are johto and water

[leaden wraith]

can you show me your Support and Strike roster?

and how many Johto and Water upgrades do you have?

[daring tide]

2 of each and yeah hold on

[normal python]

A lot of people did

[daring tide]

the only character i have with both support and strike is penny btw

[leaden wraith]

she is a good pick

[normal python]

And you don't need Apple Cup if you've stacked enough upgrades or you can even go as far as spending 0 points

[daring tide]

actually wait i have emmet too

[leaden wraith]

i assume Kris is already used

[stark dawn]

crit shield stage on area 9

[mental raft]

Send the screenshot of available sync pairs with role bonus, it will help them to help you

[daring tide]

alright heres my strike roster, the image export is acting funny so gimme a minute to get the rest

[hexed crane]

Personal best. Thank you striker heavy seed

[brisk holly]

• dragon upgrade 🧍‍♀️

[leaden wraith]

is Kris already used?

[daring tide]

yup

[leaden wraith]

you can try Barry

with sync nuke build

with Bubble OaR he can keep Lucy's speed at low

[daring tide]

shes ground weak tho, not water

[leaden wraith]

yes but you have to include a Water or Johto

Pryce has guaranteed speed drop but he is very slow

[daring tide]

ohhh right
hmm
should i use syca to cure poison or someone else

[leaden wraith]

give everyone Antitoxin

[daring tide]

penny cures poison but only for herself
ah gotcha

[leaden wraith]

btw can you show me your shop? the team might have a chance to fail

[daring tide]

maybe i should have the water or johto unit be a support tho bc i doubt barry will make the cut as a striker
yeah hold on

[leaden wraith]

nothing too useful

[leaden wraith]

Emmet is only 1/5 so be careful

[daring tide]

i dont mind using someone else as a striker even if it costs me some points
also i thiiink i have a strike candy i can use

[leaden wraith]

nah 2/5 Emmet won't help much

[daring tide]

running out of cookies....no antitoxin...ooooough

[timid hound]

That is rough

I've been burning through Crispy Cookies lately exclusively for Antitoxin

[daring tide]

ok so i moved down to hard and actually managed to clear it easily w nc red/irida/ss blue
nc red got antitoxin but blue and irida worked just fine w lessen poison 8

5.6k medalz in my pocketttt

[proven matrix]

mfw i have a10 lucy, strike sprint with nc blue to help, but realize that i cannot lower speed with either ss gladion or rei (my 2.0x units)

unless my rei is 5/5

and im not investing allat to him

[brisk holly]

man what the hell is this

[daring tide]

Hell

[timid hound]

I'm glad it worked for you, but just to be clear, it's not the poison you should be afraid of

[daring tide]

that is ominous

[timid hound]

It's the fact Lucy and her side's moves get powered up when you're poisoned

The poison tick is just icing on the cake

[daring tide]

ohhh i see

[timid hound]

Hence why it's Antitoxin or bust

Well, you'll slowly build up a stash of cookies

[proven matrix]

speed too

[timid hound]

Yes correct

[brisk holly]

man this calls for apple cup yolo, i ain’t dealing with those three again

[timid hound]

Just downgrade to Hard

[daring tide]

show us ur strikers....

[proven matrix]

damn its either vh lucy or H anabel

rip

[timid hound]

VH Lucy

Bring a speed debuffer and LS antitoxin on everyone

[proven matrix]

who should i choose to keep between rei or ss gladion

both 3/5

and have the 2.0 bonus

[lost cliff]

keep rei

is your a10 strike sprint?

[proven matrix]

yes

[lost cliff]

yea save rei

[proven matrix]

ok

[timid hound]

Easy Rei

He checks Palmer

[lost cliff]

gladion needs specific partners to work too

rei (esp. in rally where (hopefully) you'll have a boost) will just go brrr

[proven matrix]

but i have lucy

although gladion is a good counter cause of innate status immunity

i just need to find a speed debuffer

[fair ember]

Alrdy finished witb 9.8k

[fair ember]

Just Champion upgrade and a debuff power boost

[timid hound]

[timid hound]

He can also beat up Lucy

[proven matrix]

real

[timid hound]

Rei is just a good pair in general tbh

Like, insanely good

Sometimes I forego role bonus and save Rei for A10 just in case

NCSerena is another pair I do that with

[proven matrix]

i found my answer to my prayers in lodge volo\

but i dont have him

too lazy to do lodge

[ebon valve]

Upgrade:
Rosa Time

[proven matrix]

up to area 7

[timid hound]

If only A7 was Support or Sprint

[proven matrix]

lol

[timid hound]

I had this seed before

Used NCRosa A8+

A1-6 was just random supports

[ebon valve]

Oh shoot. the doubles are at the end

[timid hound]

Yeah

[ebon valve]

Should probably finally upgrade chase.

[timid hound]

[ebon valve]

now to upgrade Rika or ssMorty

I have 55 vouchers, I could splurge and do all of them.

[proven matrix]

welp time to wait until tomorrow

[fair ember]

Ss morty

[timid hound]

Chase that Chase Rolex

Haha get it?

Laugh

[ebon valve]

My Answer: Both

[karmic wraith]

no way i got flying as my free boost 😭 game punishing me for not pulling cheren

[mental raft]

Current team is not working, I need a good attacker. Any suggestions?

[grizzled gale]

You can use SSA Cynthia or NC Rosa EXR the whole time if you want

[mental raft]

Available sync pairs.
Though I have decided to use Rei, Riley, Poppy, NC Rosa, SS Leaf, Sidney, Ghetsis, SC Irida for later stages

My last A10 is Strike Tech, should I save NC Cheren and SC Irida up for 2x role bonus?

[bronze aspen]

How should you spend telescopes, really? It would be helpful to know which unit would be best used in a10

Conversely to know what units i can use liberally

For example my boost this week is tech field so i saved the frogs but ultimately it was darach and i ended up not using cerena
It's a shame because i have 2 stages where she should've given 2x bonus

[mental raft]

Ouch!
But my case is just opposite, only A10 is Strike Tech. So it's either take 2x bonus advantage at A10 or just compromise!

[astral path]

Oh wow. Another normal type upgrade? Oh you… you shouldn’t have

[hexed crane]

There’s steel there for cheap if you need variety

[onyx wadi]

Argenta in Area 10 is so busted

[onyx wadi]

Skip those

Grab the crit, best item in Rally

[timid hound]

That's not crit power up

[mental raft]

Those are just Steel moves power up, not like theme boosts!

[gentle maple]

10.3k this week, good enough

[timid hound]

[hasty marlin]

Any upgrades you already have will always appear in shop again.

[karmic wraith]

images that tell a story

51%

[gloomy wedge]

That was also mine this week 😭

Final team was so weird

[karmic wraith]

LOL

slow af final clear

the undying team

[gentle maple]

Rosa dps

[astral path]

I could’ve had a lot more points. I forgot to do my strike/field team at the start and only put in strike.

[karmic wraith]

had to buy a 50 pt damage boost for the last stage (sp def ^ power ^) but it worked out

[nimble tide]

ABSOLUTE BANGER

[dense latch]

I was more concerned with not being able to use many of my caked pairs… 😭 only got 8k
Ish

[nimble tide]

@muted sparrow i can never do this again

[muted sparrow]

Imagine ping someone at 3AM

[hasty marlin]

3 am? It’s 4pm here

Time zones are crazy

[plush anchor]

Pykuo in the future

I am in the present

You in the past

[onyx wadi]

Omg

Ty for sharing this

12k wow

But how, the maximum is 12,000

1,200 with 3 units matching both roles, multiply by 10 areas

Unless there’s a lucky area

[hexed crane]

Gotta be a triple boost lucky area

[quiet apex]

I’m enjoying caked PalCandice. 3 2x team.

Not bad considering this setup.

[karmic briar]

If it wasn’t for double sprintfield it would have been great tbh

Having different role combos allows to max double points

Not like this where I got 3x tech + field when we literally have just 3 field tech or double tech sprint with just 4 sprint + tech

[ebon valve]

I think Dahlia would be cool to run thru this. Max move off the bat and -6 their defenses :3

[urban ledge]

Max is 12,500

You start with 500 points

[glass patrol]

They got 12800

[urban ledge]

Oh huh thought that was 300 lol

I need my glasses

Anyway Lucky Area adds another 1,200 I think

[brisk holly]

damn, that’s a little crazy (help me)

[onyx wadi]

Wow

12k is not bad

Usually a run is 7-8k

Extra 4k is amazing

[simple frost]

i dont think you can clear A010 VH Anabel.

Argenta might be possible with NC Ssilverr, + NC Nate

oh and Selene

try it first, make sure to save NC Silver's Sync when you hit Argenta to 50%

[brisk holly]

alright, what are the tactics here? should any of them be gridded?

[simple frost]

let me check Selene's

Something like this.

if she is the tank, the TM refresh helps

[brisk holly]

those are all accessible with 2/5 selene right? wish i had her at 3/5 🥲

[simple frost]

yeah ramming speed would've been nice.

[glass patrol]

Yes that grid is specific ally 2/5

[simple frost]

Propulsion Leaf Blade too.

[brisk holly]

thanks 🫡🫡

[austere cipher]

got the same a10 last run kek.

[simple frost]

yeah i got darach this week

Strike/Field though

Geeta + Mix Red be like

[austere cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/ththe-beans-gif-21327437

yo is 12k the highest score?

[simple frost]

i think its possible to hit 13k

[timid hound]

12k is the highest I've seen to date in this chat

[simple frost]

but only if you get Lucky Stage.

[austere cipher]

I haven't debut geeta on a10

[simple frost]

And you mange to hit 1200 each battle.

[timid hound]

The highest theoretical limit is 13200

[austere cipher]

ic. can you get a lucky stage twice in one run?

[simple frost]

iirc only once

[timid hound]

From anecdotal evidence so far, no

[austere cipher]

end game be like 😄

oh ic ic

[timid hound]

If you get good seed (aka no sprintfield) + have majority of EXRs it's possible

We get closer every patch

[austere cipher]

me: only exp. lucky stage 2x since day one.

[simple frost]

yeah if you get non sprint field seed... its possible.

dependss on your roster though sigh

[timid hound]

Yeah you need have like almost every EXR

[simple frost]

A2-a is possible, but we dont have a lot of Strike/Sprint to fill up the void.

(oh and Strirke/Field)

you need 9 Field/Strike or Strike/Ffield for that one.

[timid hound]

Yikes

[simple frost]

Seed B2 also works, but you'll need 6 Sprint/Support, 3 Support/Field.

[timid hound]

Not enough!

But with CRed EX should be 6 Sprint/Support no?

1 more Support Field too (Rika+ VThorton+)

[fluid mountain]

Hey game, I'd love to use Palmer... if he has field role

[leaden wraith]

I have met 7 people with this seed this week

[timid hound]

Hey that's my seed too!

SSTRed seed

[mental raft]

Somebody please help me with this shity stage!

Bug upgrade!

[mental raft]

Here are available sync pairs

[leaden wraith]

how about Drasna

instead of Gladion

[timid hound]

+1 on Drasna

She takes up 0 gauge too

So long you disable Sand should be a straight forward fight

[leaden wraith]

and Gladion is hot garbage

[mental raft]

Okay!

[timid hound]

Without investment Gladion is pretty awful yeah

[mental raft]

Thankyou 🙏
It worked! Very smoothly.

[timid hound]

[mental raft]

Should I buy Fighting upgrade?

[leaden wraith]

what roles does your A10 have?

[mental raft]

Strike tech

[leaden wraith]

having 2 Sprint is nice

is Rei or Riley caked?

[mental raft]

Both are caked

[leaden wraith]

so grab it then, he is a great counter to potential Palmer

[mental raft]

But A7

[leaden wraith]

[mental raft]

Poppy, Riley, Rei I was thinking of!
That's why also I am wondering to take it!

[timid hound]

I saw that as Poopy and had to stifle my laughter lmao

[mental raft]

I did checked that I have three tech fighting eggmons too! Looks like I should atleast give it a try.

[urban ledge]

Was gonna EXR BiaNCa, but thought about it and I’d rather EXR Red and uh… someone that gives Field later this month

SS Ethan that was it

[mental raft]

One more thing, is SC Irida and NC Cheren suitable to fight A10 UBs by any chance?

[leaden wraith]

Cheren yes, Irida no kinda

Cheren having rebuff is a good check to some UB, not to mention his gigantic dmg

[mental raft]

Got it
Thanks

[quaint star]

Man, as always, Anabel is such an annoying area 10 boss

[mental raft]

Me: it's just area 3, what can go wrong!

Game: take it and suffer

Help

This is Field tech, should I bring Rika here for support?
Or anything else

[quaint star]

Surely you have a better tank? Even OG Brock would do better than Brawly

I see that you refuse to buy any upgrade. That explains the hurdle

[mental raft]

I have 1bug and 1fighting atm

Already 2x.
But Peers attacks are concerning even with -6Attack

[leaden wraith]

you can use flinch or sleep to cheese

or bring a strong offtype nuker

Mina is not doing good there

[mental raft]

Ok!
Will Whitney work?

[leaden wraith]

OG Whitney? nope

for flinch duty she works alright but she suffers the same issue as Mina

no one to buff offensive stats

[mental raft]

Hmm.
Then I have no choice but to use Sidney here!

[leaden wraith]

[nimble tide]

dewott

[fluid mountain]

F U FALL 23 ROARK BC! Finally won with that team with just the Four-Hit Combo Dango item. Took me like 2 and a half hours, and it's just the A4 VH

[timid hound]

Area doesn't matter, Roark BC is just one of the worst of all time

[bronze aspen]

It's Halloween 2023 right

[simple frost]

that thing will be coming back sigh

[timid hound]

Who's that supposed to be for again? FRoxanne?

[stiff flume]

Yup, but even with her thst stage is ass

[timid hound]

makes BC for specific unit
still hard even with specific

[leaden wraith]

The stage geared towards Foebe with her Unaware like passive and Vigilance

[simple frost]

Hopefully i'll get around to giving SS Korinna her EXR for it 😦

[timid hound]

Lmao Foebe

[twilit chasm]

This combo at a1 makes it so unpredictable and hard to plan to use my x2 bonus

[simple frost]

i need to hit 9 Sup/Tech EXRs :x

Currently at 6

[twilit chasm]

damn luckily i did use my at a1, not losing any point

[timid hound]

Never punished

[twilit chasm]

a10 makes it really convenient to my nc silver esp when i get johto boost

[timid hound]

The stars aligned for you and you alone

[mental raft]

It took quite long!

[timid hound]

Focus Sash moment

[proven matrix]

so i got lodge volo for lucy

and i forgot about sure crit

uh

everyone bar nc blue dies

[leaden wraith]

[proven matrix]

lmao

[simple frost]

VH Lucy?

what's your upgrades lookin like?

(i'm assuming Strike + something)

[proven matrix]

contexto

[leaden wraith]

how about your upgrades

[proven matrix]

kanto/ice

[leaden wraith]

NC Blue Volo and SS Gladion/Rei should win

[simple frost]

how much kanto?

[leaden wraith]

maybe getting another Kanto is a good idea

[simple frost]

and yeah, how much HP did Lucy' team was before they nuked with Sure Crit

[proven matrix]

like 40%

[simple frost]

sides dead?

[proven matrix]

nop

[leaden wraith]

if the shop offers guard chocolat or half cake you should get it

[proven matrix]

neither

[simple frost]

whatcha got in shop though? like Damage Upgrades if any

[leaden wraith]

no ultra jelly either?

[proven matrix]

nop

just attack and sp def

[leaden wraith]

[proven matrix]

just fighting dmg moves up

rest are just meh

endure

phys dmg reduc

[leaden wraith]

try with a Kanto upgrade first

[proven matrix]

impervious

two kanto upgrades

holy shit

-me, probably

[leaden wraith]

if it doesn't work you should swap Rei in and try

buy the fighting upgrade if you are close to winning before Lucy sweeping you

[proven matrix]

ill try gladion first, see how far i get

if it doesnt work i'll get uh

the fighting thin

g

[leaden wraith]

good luck buddy

[proven matrix]

pain

agony even

its hard to maintain volo alive since he gets blasted by sure crit sync

no antitoxin on grid

[leaden wraith]

how much HP% left when he gets wiped out? and is Gladion still alive?

[proven matrix]

like

60%

yes

i might win

but lucy has +speed

nvm

died

at 13%

sides still alive but i was close

[leaden wraith]

try with Rei then

[proven matrix]

damn

i did

[leaden wraith]

before commiting to FIghting move bonus

ah

[proven matrix]

did significantly worse

cause he also needs vigilance

[leaden wraith]

hold on i will do some calc

how about you trying 1.5x unit instead of Gladion

preferably Ice type

[proven matrix]

i have red

nc

[leaden wraith]

good

[proven matrix]

pain

no 2.0

but it is what it is

[leaden wraith]

sometimes you have to accept the loss

that's why LG is the best mode

[proven matrix]

real

[mental raft]

First time doing a triple 2x and it's a lucky stage lol

[leaden wraith]

i can see you are a Sprint fan

congrats

[proven matrix]

died again

volo is just sad

[muted sparrow]

L Volo ?

[proven matrix]

yes

needs vigilance and antitoxin to live

and its not happening

[leaden wraith]

Red doesn't work well?

[proven matrix]

dies because of speed

was close tho

10%

sides were at 30%

[leaden wraith]

i might suggesting Pryce at this point

or go to H

[mental raft]

Not necessarily but yeah I am a Rei fan

[proven matrix]

H is anabel

[leaden wraith]

wait we haven't seen your full strike/sprint roster yet

[proven matrix]

the problem isnt speed debuffers, its how long they live

hold on

[ebon valve]

What’s the boost to stats?

[leaden wraith]

3 Kanto and 1 Ice iirc

[proven matrix]

i have 1 kanto and 1 ice

[ebon valve]

Any damage modifiers?

[proven matrix]

nop

just the upgrades

[ebon valve]

Okay so really only 100% boost

[proven matrix]

Si

[leaden wraith]

How about going brute forcing route without speed debuff

Like NC Red with SS Gio or SS Gla

[proven matrix]

they probably die, BUT

SS Gio could be the play

[muted sparrow]

Just pre-Sync Lucy

[proven matrix]

true

How did I not think of that

iirc ss gio has antitoxin on grid

[ebon valve]

He does

[proven matrix]

killed lucy but didnt get sides

close

[ebon valve]

And there isn’t a 50 pt damage buff that’s applicable?

[proven matrix]

fighting

[ebon valve]

Only would buff Rei

[proven matrix]

yep

[leaden wraith]

you mentioned that there is spdef buff multiplier too right

[proven matrix]

yes

sp def jelly

[leaden wraith]

ah

[proven matrix]

i will probably need the jelly

so close

[ebon valve]

Is her sync special?

[proven matrix]

i think its physical

poison fang

[ebon valve]

Yeah like the actual unit

[proven matrix]

DONE

got so lucky with a para on lucy

9400

[mental raft]

Any good pair among them who can support Geeta/ Tank here?
(Fighting Upgrade 2x)

This is the stage!

[leaden wraith]

if you can, upgrade OG Erika to 3/5, she got nice bulk and max defense easily

or you can try Janine as dodge tank

or Mina

[mental raft]

Thankyou Gakon!

[timid hound]

flannery

+def & burn reduces atk

oak works too as eva tank + he has first aid 4

brock

[leaden wraith]

she can't burn here because of Geeta but yeah other options are solid too

[timid hound]

flannery bad

believe in brock

(might want to grid hm and up his stars tho)

[leaden wraith]

same for Oak if you want to use him

[mental raft]

Hmmm okay, many options I will try first with Brock then !

Thankyou too Paris!

[timid hound]

np

[brisk holly]

yeah silver died right after this was taken

[leaden wraith]

go to H then

[brisk holly]

this is hard

[leaden wraith]

Apple Cup VH then

[brisk holly]

my vh is anabel so not sure how to work her out 😰

[simple frost]

you had 2.6k points right?

[leaden wraith]

Silver counters her weather gimmick

just sync with him after Anabel use her first sync

[quaint star]

So I thought SS Red should be good for rally versus Thorton but boy was I wrong

[leaden wraith]

if yours is 4/5 he can make use of Flare Blitz

[quaint star]

Tried. Slammed himself to dead

[leaden wraith]

he still needs a physical dmg dealer to carry the later 60% HP phase

[quaint star]

Even a miniscule recoil damage proves to be fatal when you start dealing 20k damage

[simple frost]

Is your NC Silver EXR'd?

[brisk holly]

yep

[leaden wraith]

it doesn't matter tho

Apple Cup is broken

[brisk holly]

so should i bring in this same team to anabel vh?

[quaint star]

For 500 points

[leaden wraith]

no, swap Selene out

[simple frost]

i'd probably change Selene for a Water Striker.

[timid hound]

[quaint star]

VH Anabel is such a PITA I won't bother to fight her unless you have the right roles and tools (Support + Tech with NC Serena)

Otherwise, not worth the trouble

[leaden wraith]

they can't beat H Argenta

[simple frost]

Hard Argenta with 2 Dragon Boost. ;_;

[leaden wraith]

hence Apple Cup recommendation

[quaint star]

Well, I see that team doesn't have a single rebuff, so

[leaden wraith]

Selene has restrain

[brisk holly]

ss lysandre hes 3/5 too

[simple frost]

EXR'd?

[brisk holly]

nope <\3

[leaden wraith]

does not matter

[simple frost]

eh should be fine.

just take home 400 points + 2450 points.

[brisk holly]

alright so bring in the ncs + ss lysandre to vh anabel with broken apple cup?

[simple frost]

basically o/

see the power of Apple Cup~

[brisk holly]

yeah that mf is broken af 😭

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-korean-gamer-happy-angry-korean-gamer-happy-gif-26055806

[brisk holly]

alright so what are the tactics here

[leaden wraith]

tank with Nate

[brisk holly]

got it, does nate have to be gridded?

[leaden wraith]

no need to, but it's nice to have

[ebon valve]

Looks like whoever tanks is gonna die in the 1st hit

[leaden wraith]

it's Apple Cup anyway

[ebon valve]

Oh. Okay

Wish you could buy see-noculars and use them on area 10 🫠

[simple frost]

i just checked your seed. Sprint/Field A010 .-. (and A05 as well)
Lucky Stage is nice though

[normal python]

No matter, Sprint/Field is inevitable anyways

[timid hound]

I have yet to experience apple cup

I want to feel the skill course through my veins

[simple frost]

i still haven't done apple cup .-.

[mental raft]

A10 VH was Argenta!
Ended up doing H Dararch.

Thank God Geeta was alive in A9, her poison zone on entry and and first sync helped a lot!

Tanked with SC Irida!

[formal gull]

ugh shop not giving me any good boost

[mental raft]

Best score (with a lucky area)

[normal python]

I finally beaten my old record

[prisma gyro]

Lucky area 2 weeks in a row

[normal python]

Strike/Field tho

[prisma gyro]

If only i had rei

[normal python]

Rei or someone else?

[prisma gyro]

Oh wait he's not field lol nvm

I've only got geeta for strike field

Ss Ethan's exr arrives too late

[mental raft]

He's

[prisma gyro]

What's this stage? They're steel weak. Aurorus almost one shots nc blue

With +200% boost too

[ebon valve]

It’s a wise entry x2 stage with sandstorm passives

[prisma gyro]

I just cleared it

Do they get a boost in sandstorm?

[ebon valve]

Yes to offense if I recall correctly

My A10

[zealous plover]

Fml

how do i deal with this?

[prisma gyro]

Saved the frogs for a10 but it's palmer

[prisma gyro]

How many sprint fields do you have?

[zealous plover]

8

[prisma gyro]

Either way there's gonna be another sprintfield in your seed

[zealous plover]

im aware 😔

do i do 3 sprint/field pairs? Do I try to manage it?

[prisma gyro]

I'd go 3 sprint field pairs unless the stage's gimmick makes it challenging

8 units should be able to split for 2 sprintfield stages, with 2 leftover for the remaining stages

[ebon valve]

[prisma gyro]

If you have a ssac or nc rosa then they'd be perfect for 1 of the seeds

[prisma gyro]

You're almost there

Two 10k weeks in a row
Lucky area my beloved

[ebon valve]

I’m gonna wait till I get home cause I wanna record this

[sudden heron]

Best team around

Guzma sync 40k lol

[prisma gyro]

Is morty going out there all pokemon-less to throw hands himself?

[zealous plover]

wait is it smart to use sprint/field pairs on round 1?

[prisma gyro]

It's better to get as many points as you can early on because laters stages are more difficult with potential gimmicks that can be hard to counter while also being on-role

[zealous plover]

ohhh

[prisma gyro]

Counterpoint: there's the possibility that later stages can be lucky, which would give more points if you had saved caked units for them. The chance is low tho.

[zealous plover]

oh none of my sprint/field pairs match my theme boosts

[prisma gyro]

Time to keep an eye on the shop for a better theme boost then

You bought rival boost already, do you have good rival units?

[zealous plover]

yeah i got a bunch

[prisma gyro]

Spanning multiple roles?

[zealous plover]

yes except field/sprint

[prisma gyro]

Area 1 should be doable without a boost, but check the shop after each clear for an alternate boost

[sudden heron]

Some support teams throw hands in this game

Well that's enough BR till weekend fuck you glacia

[zealous plover]

lmao

[ebon valve]

Morty & the Void

[tawny dagger]

I don’t have SS Kris or Irida and I’ve already used NC Silver. Is it pretty safe to assume I should just try Hard Argenta over Very Hard Anabel? Field/Support boost but my remaining two field units are Variety Giovanni and Mix Blue, and my only Field/Support is SS Morty.

[stiff flume]

2 on VH are better than 3 in H
Do you have any caked supports? Like ncSerena?

[tawny dagger]

I’ve already used my two caked supports

I had a support seed this time

I just don’t see how I’m possibly beating Anabel even if I do only use 2 on role units lol

[stiff flume]

Depend on what are your core units for Anabel, have you fought her before?
Btw Anabel is really limiting, it's fine going on hard

[ebon valve]

https://youtu.be/kguiOn_A16M
Everyone with Vigilance.
Grids: Pomatools
Battle starts at 1:00

[tawny dagger]

I haven’t fought her since I don’t have SS Kris or NC Serena and they seem heavily preferred unless you have some crazy 5/5 units lol

[stiff flume]

The theme buffs can make that way cheaper but sure you need good stuff at least
If you ran out of good units then go on hard

[tawny dagger]

My units aren’t that bad the ones I have left just really are not great for her specifically

I’m just gonna go hard to save myself a lot of headache lol

[stiff flume]

[stark dawn]

Time for frogs

[simple frost]

I'd buy Champion Upgrade + Sp.ATK Power, with NC Serena? Should be doable.

actually NC Serena + SST Red would break that battle. Just need a sprint to allow them to sync i guess.

[stiff flume]

NcCalem not caked and already used 📉
But I want to slot multipliers

How strong is the apple cup?

[simple frost]

Extremely Strong

its basically a big red button, and just boosts your team so much, you can probably clear with 3 eggmons or something .-. (just try with double role bonus units though)

[stiff flume]

Because weirdly enough I don't have a team for this, having sprint or supp would save that but heh

Also the only strike/tech of the run, every outcome I checked lead to 700 pt

[prisma gyro]

Oh i already cleared it, but thanks. Used the same team the last time i had palmer with support field: ss morty, sstr, and nc blue. I did have to spend another 150 on champion upgrade and spatk up boost to get enough firepower.

[simple frost]

wohoo~

[urban ledge]

LMAO that’s the exact same Strike Tech team I have

[stiff flume]

Yeah I read the whole instruction, start with max buff, enemy max debuff, eeveey move cound as 2 sync cd, sync cd is reduced to 6, 50% dmg reduction and more

[prisma gyro]

Buying all 20 cake vouchers on the first week of the month is very satisfying

[stiff flume]

But I guess the only way to use apple cup in a profitable way is this
Trhee x2 or it's a loss

Was funny to see, btw while sync move is just a fart, his max move still destroy your team
Idk how that's calibrated

[prisma gyro]

Palmer's max move still kills even with applecup?

Damn bro's hitting through +500% def

[stiff flume]

Btw max move BP is higher plus Normal Zone

Ye, for reference

[ebon valve]

Well palmer gets 4 sync buffs after syncing.

[timid hound]

Yeah nothing short of divine intervention is saving you from a +4 sync boosted NZ Max Strike

Hence why most clears of Palmer happen before his max move

[muted sparrow]

[timid hound]

They really said you have no choice

[simple frost]

SP.ATK down ;o

and Rival?

depends on who you're gonna bring for that battle tbh.

[timid hound]

[muted sparrow]

Nah, i just do hard

No way 1/5 NC Silver can carry that

I got this awful set

[simple frost]

NC Blue enjoyer? 😮

[muted sparrow]

Why this is for NC Blue enjoyer ?

There aren’t even 1 Sup/Striker

[timid hound]

Where NCBlue

Support Strike in shambles

[glass patrol]

Hey you just gotta believe in Bianca

[simple frost]

he cleared it o/

[timid hound]

Trust in Sages

[ebon valve]

video

i just noticed in all those turns I never got +6 atk

[gloomy wedge]

That looks absolutely horrendous

[half sonnet]

Should I take the Galar upgrade?

[leaden wraith]

It's a decent boost for you

[hexed crane]

Pal Marnie, Anni Raihan, Dojo Gloria, Sonia, Hop and NC Marnie are really good uses. I'd say definitely take it over normal

[oak jolt]

Anabel was pretty annoying with 300% damage boost but no defenses boosts even with SS Kris and NC Serena

My starting boost was dragon but I couldn't fit a dragon unit because SS Kris was mandatory and both NC leaf and NC serena where double boost

[leaden wraith]

I would try to fit a Dragon there

It still gives more points than double bonuses on H

[oak jolt]

I still managed to clear VH without dragons but was annoying

I had to make sure to negate that arcanine's overheat

[leaden wraith]

Congrats then

[oak jolt]

Eventually I could have bought a defense or special defense jelly, for 100 instead of losing 150, but I was unsure of what moves where giving me more troubles

[twilit chasm]

Fuck this stage. Victor A3 with 2 stacks of theme boost still got shafted ☠️

[timid hound]

Which battle was this?

[simple frost]

Victor battle? ith his Rillaboom? 😮

[twilit chasm]

Yes

[twilit chasm]

Looks like i have to sacrifice one of them

[timid hound]

Bye Hilbert

[crisp token]

Just kill them quickly

What stage is that anyway

[leaden wraith]

sounds like 4th anni BC

with Tough Skin

[timid hound]

SSHilbert to the rescue

[crisp token]

Oh

Tough Skin

That disgusting thing

[quiet tiger]

Huh...

[fluid mountain]

My roughest Rally so far. Got Roark BC at A4 VH and Anabel UB at A10 VH, which I needed to use one time only items on those two. This was also the second rally that I spent the most on items. All areas done on VH

Items used:

• Normal Upgrade (starting)
• 3 Attack Up Power Up (125, one of them at discount)
• 1 Four-Hit Combo Dango (100, for A4 VH Roark BC)
• 1 Drastic Parfait (100, for A10 VH Anabel UB)
• 1 Sp. Def Jelly (100, for A10 VH Anabel UB)

[simple frost]

Speed Power ;O

[fresh holly]

Darach VH sprint support team alola only bonus

0 items purchased

[simple frost]

what team though?

[fresh holly]

What recommendation I have most units

the sprint / support is so questionable, even with silver I couldn't push it

[leaden wraith]

Please provide your roster, i can't give advice based on little information

And show me what your shop looks like too

[fresh holly]

I can't send screen shots from phone currently, I generally avoid any purchases outside of the base item

The support/speed typing just seems poor for this one

I am attemping Rosa, SS Acerola, Silver

I'm more or less wondering if there is some standard counter unit i nthe support/sprint pool I am forgetting

[leaden wraith]

Silver is OG Silver right?

[fresh holly]

Champion

[leaden wraith]

I can see some anti synergy here, but it's okay

Rosa is not helping unless you are referring to NC Rosa

[fresh holly]

using champion rosa for the support/sprint correct

[leaden wraith]

One time use items can be lifesaver in cases like this

How many Alola do you have?

[fresh holly]

Trying to avoid that at all cost, just the base one

[leaden wraith]

It's not a healthy mindset, tbh

[fresh holly]

We do it every week :p

that's the fun part

[crisp token]

If it's the last stage it makes no difference buying a one-off or a permanent

[leaden wraith]

You loses more if you move down to H instead of using a good item on VH

[fresh holly]

I know all the ratios lol

I'm just looking for outside the box ideas for sprint/support darach

[leaden wraith]

If you are not cooperating my only advice is moving down to H

[fresh holly]

that I might not be thinking

[crisp token]

Need to know what other pairs you have

[fresh holly]

Nearly every pair

lucario cynthia used unfortunately 😦

normally I would send pics, but storms destroyed this area yesterday and I have no power / low signal

[leaden wraith]

Please provide necessary info for people trying to help you, like move level, EX and invested status of all support/sprint you have

[crisp token]

You got Paulo or any other Support/Sprint

Or is NC Rosa the only lock in

[fresh holly]

Paulo Lycan one of the only pairs I don't have, I have no support/sprint remaining unless I role unlock

so yeah rosa the only 2.0

[leaden wraith]

How about Alola upgrades? How many do you have rn?

[fresh holly]

Just the base 1

I could role unlock SS Gladion

[crisp token]

NC Silver not enough DPS? How close are you?

[fresh holly]

30% mid sides dead

[crisp token]

Nah SS Acerola's weather is more needed to combat Darach's gimmick

You die to the sync?

[fresh holly]

yep at that point he just rips

the dPS really drops

[simple frost]

hum. i think you could puchase another Alola Theme Boost then.

[crisp token]

Any atk debuffs on Darach?

[simple frost]

if Mid is only 30% HP left

(and sides are dead)

[fresh holly]

only if I get lucky drop from rosa

yeah no doubt if I purchase something I get the win

[crisp token]

If you have another Alolan weather setter that can help out with debuffing his attack, and you don't get hit by sync crit, you might have enough time to kill

[fresh holly]

you know I don't like to do that though @simple frost we have been here before :p

[crisp token]

Just to survive one more sync

Either that or upgrade your current squad

[fresh holly]

I have mina on 1/5 only though

[crisp token]

What are your move levels

[fresh holly]

3/5 across board

moltres is usable for this battle, but that did slightly worse that silver
