Battle Rally

[timid hound]

Crit Power Up is broken

[simple frost]

Try your team first + current setup see how much you can do. Also, Crit Power over Water Damage boost. CritPower makes sure that Irida and Zapdos can do stronger chip damage than just only NC Serena.

[half bone]

Welp.

[simple frost]

SS Morty? ;o

[half bone]

I have him. But she also PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOO!

I have options.

[simple frost]

still, its Strike + Support, i'm sure you've got this with 3x Theme boost + 3 power boost

[dusk eagle]

Trying it first was a good idea

First 10k thanks to my first lucky area since April 14th

Thanks so much!!

[leaden wraith]

glad i could help

[dusk eagle]

Serena is incredible as always

Once I actually used water shuriken to take down Anabels endurance my 500k nuke actually did damage

[half bone]

Aaaaand done.

[timid hound]

Clean result

[austere cipher]

@simple frost bro I really got baited by c1 set think if I have one more cake unit I'm 11k this week.

Easiest a9 of my run. Nc red/ nc cheren / ss red.
I'll cake geeta / lysandre next month

[simple frost]

Anabel'd aand Argenta rofl.

[austere cipher]

they both love me
btw my third time getting lucky area since day one.

[normal python]

Fuck yeah, fire upgrade, but I got sprintfield A1

[mental raft]

I hope it turns to be second one!

As I am not doing Geeta A1, or should I?

[simple frost]

hrm sinnoh upgrade

Cool

[mental raft]

Rika all the way

[simple frost]

hrm. Aura Cynthia early, or justs Chase early? HRM

[normal python]

Use on A5

Or use one in A2, and use 2 on A5

[simple frost]

Redlax could also work for points. mmhmm.

anywwys, gonna do dailies first then CSMM, then Rally

i think i'll wait for mine of ddata before i play rally though.

[mental raft]

Is this confusion upgrade good?
I will try to use it for A7 to A10 with NC Rosa!

[leaden wraith]

if so it's decent

[urban ledge]

Oh goddammit

Trial Giver and 4 possible routes Tech Support

At least there’s Champion

[timid hound]

Time for the most wonderful time of the week

Luck is a skill

[urban ledge]

… hmm you know what I’m probably gonna wait until tomorrow when SS Ethan gets his Field EXR before going past the first few rounds

Oh I got this pattern

Hmm

Tricky

[slow dirge]

Looks rather technical, I'm sure you're up to the challengs though

[urban ledge]

The game loves to taunt that I have no SST Red lol

[timid hound]

NCRed seed

[simple frost]

Hrm yeah i'll need that datamine.

If i do. i might be able to hit 10.5k points

or 11k hrm

[simple frost]

Hrm.

10350 orr 10650 eh.

hum actully yeaah i think i'll do SS Hilda at the start, since Emma can buff speed

[bronze aspen]

What is tough skin passive?

[leaden wraith]

reduces dmg taken if no supereffective

[bronze aspen]

Ohh

[timid hound]

Who's NCBede BC meant for?

[simple frost]

Ghost Weak NC Bede?

[timid hound]

Yeah Ghost Weak

Oh is it a CSMM? That's nasty

[simple frost]

that's his Pasio Stadium fight.

yeah

[timid hound]

Hm Sentry Entry x2

[simple frost]

we dont have him yet as a fight, but yikes.

[timid hound]

Okay cool, nothing NCRed can't handle

Is it just me: If I see a Tech bonus on a10, I never ever use my NCSerena before A10

I have a support tech bonus right now and I straight up refuse to use NCSerena

[simple frost]

amen.

[timid hound]

Okay so it's not just me? Perfect

[simple frost]

though i'm using her early these days since i've got NC Leaf recently to EXR

[timid hound]

NCLeaf is another one but I feel I use NCSerena more in UBs compared to NCLeaf

I suspect this time around I might use NCLeaf tho (Kanto Upgrade)

This is probably just me but Grusha? Honestly not that bad

Ice Fang + Super Interference 2 is insaneeeee

It's gotten me out of so many tight spots

His B Move is awkward to use yes but a blanket protect if you know what's coming is so fking good

[leaden wraith]

who dares calling him bad

[timid hound]

Bruh

There were so many shitting on him on debut

[leaden wraith]

he is just underrated

[timid hound]

Tbh I was a non believer too

But damn lemme tell y'all the God combo that is ice fang + super interference 2

You see that enemy? It ain't moving

[fickle drum]

support track, unova upgrade, 3/4 unova ncs match double roles, crit power in area 1, feels like it’s going to be a truly a blessed run 😭

[timid hound]

WTF CRIT POWER UP

Happy for you

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

[fickle drum]

Thank you the past 4-5 weeks I got terrible type boosts(normal, poison, bug), this is the redemption BR, fingers crossed for a lucky stage because I forgot how that looked like

[timid hound]

I see 10,000 in your future ♪

Grusha number one DPS

[mental raft]

Cetitan evolving!

You gave me enough motivation to cake Grusha!

[leaden wraith]

getting Lucy on A10 again saved my run

[timid hound]

Grusha is great if you know how to use him and fish a bit

[mental raft]

Lucy is the coolest! Then Palmer to me!

[timid hound]

Freeze and flinch are excellent

Better when it's 2-in-1

[simple frost]

Hrmm

[mental raft]

I have 48 cake vouchers! I will use them for Redlax and Grusha today itself, I think no point of saving anymore!

This seed

No double bonus other than Strike/Sprint and Strike/Field

[leaden wraith]

hey we got the same seed

one of the reasons why my run is bad

[mental raft]

Again lol?

[leaden wraith]

[timid hound]

Lmao MRed set up terrain and Volo's B Metronome right after called Frenzy Plant

S Y N E R G Y

[simple frost]

Lucky mode

[timid hound]

Does anyone know what Ethereal Entrance does?

Bot isn't giving it to me

Fairy Zone on entry?

[mental raft]

Wait A9 Field/Support too! Mb

[leaden wraith]

yes

[timid hound]

Ok

Shite I can't overwrite it

There's only 2 strike pairs that can set zone and I have neither

Oh wait I have Geeta

[leaden wraith]

Lusamine Clefable fight ig

[timid hound]

Yeah

[leaden wraith]

[timid hound]

Dammit!

I have to use her!

Why?! Whyyyyyyyyyyyy...!

What kind of skill expression involves clicking the funny mortal spin button and obliterating everything?!

Apple Cup has more skill in it!

Idk who this stage was made for but Geeta ate

NOT YOU

Time to downgrade to H

[crisp token]

Same, NC Serena just answers a lot of bosses

Debuffs
Rebuff
Nuke
Support EX buff

[crisp token]

Whomst

[leaden wraith]

me

[timid hound]

NOOOOOOO

(It's Palmer)

[oblique breach]

I never ever use my NC Serena

Because I don't hace her

[crisp token]

I should've known

[crisp token]

Candy her to 1/5

[timid hound]

Boosts: 2x Kanto 1x Rebuff

How's my chances?

What do y'all think?

Probably gonna do Deoxys Speed

Ride or die

Shop is useless

Kanto and Rebuff only

[crisp token]

How many boosts you have atm

Also uncaked NC Leaf wth

[timid hound]

2x Kanto 1x Rebuff

[crisp token]

What have you been doing

[timid hound]

My best

[crisp token]

Cake her already

[timid hound]

Ok what is my sync order

Steven and then

I guess Serena and then NCLeaf

Okay let's try first

[crisp token]

Yeah since your Leaf is starving

They both have the same Power Play right?

[timid hound]

It's not enough

[timid hound]

Yes

How many Leers should I do

Before I start Flare blitzing

[leaden wraith]

when his defense goes to -1 ig?

[timid hound]

Okay

[leaden wraith]

how about right after the first sync

[timid hound]

Ok

Okay I need to give someone head start 1

Who's losing CS2? NCLeaf or NCSerena?

Unless I delay DT?

Um

[leaden wraith]

Serena because Leaf is the one nuking

[timid hound]

Ok

[leaden wraith]

pick Drought Alert for more sun

[timid hound]

Wait hold on what's my sync order

[leaden wraith]

Steven > Serena > Leaf > Leaf ig

[timid hound]

Ok

Lmao ok

I kill palmer before sync

Then sides fuck me up

Should I distribute some shurikens to them?

[leaden wraith]

do dmg ranges allow you to do so?

[timid hound]

Moments before disaster strikes

[leaden wraith]

so pre syncing is an issue, can you purchase another boost?

[timid hound]

We gaming

[simple frost]

2 kanto + 1 rebuff?

[leaden wraith]

[timid hound]

Just had to get the timings down

[timid hound]

2+2

Got another rebuff power up

[simple frost]

Noice

[timid hound]

My sanity is worth 50 medals

[simple frost]

1.2k clear or nah?

[timid hound]

Nah

Saving my cake stuff for ssethan

[simple frost]

So basically 1k clear noice

[timid hound]

So ncleaf is unrolex

Yeah

[crisp token]

I will keep this in mind

[timid hound]

You have to make every move count

[crisp token]

But damn that's like the entire budget there already

[timid hound]

Palmer UB is an exercise in how well you can queue

[crisp token]

And it's that tight too

Ughhhhh

[timid hound]

Adr1 SSSteveb

Head Start 1 NCSerena

[crisp token]

I hate Palmer

[timid hound]

You need to use b quick attack on 2nd cycle

You need to delay the 2nd b quick attack

[crisp token]

At this point I really do hate him more than Anabel

[timid hound]

Oh ya you also need to quad queue 3rd cycle

You don't need to qq 2nd cycle tho

Adrenaline 1 covers that

[simple frost]

sadlife

[crisp token]

Why is Palmer so expensive

300 pts for a tight clear is too much man

[simple frost]

Need to be able to kill him before max move.

[crisp token]

Even Anabel can be done on 100-200 pts

[crisp token]

I am aware

[timid hound]

I did it with 200 tho

1 Kanto + 2 rebuff pu

My freebie was kanto

[crisp token]

Oh right you get 1 free that's actually useful

Sorry I'm still having trauma from Villain week

[timid hound]

Very uncomfortable clear tho lmao

[crisp token]

Where I had to buy just to survive

[timid hound]

I imagine if you bought 2 more it would've been free-er

If I had known it was Palmer

I would have

Fuck Palmer LMao

[crisp token]

What's the diff between full bonus VH and H again

1200 vs 800 right

X4

400 points budget

[timid hound]

Yes

I generally try to stay below 400 too

[crisp token]

sigh

[timid hound]

Although these days I spend 150 on average

[fickle drum]

No lucky, but a blessed run nonetheless

[crisp token]

Yeah that's like my max

[timid hound]

Stonks!

Rei good civilization

[crisp token]

Prayge for me

Let this week not be Palmer

[timid hound]

I will pray for you bestie

May you get Easy Lucy instead

I have the randomest pairs with Antitoxin thanks to Lucy

[fickle drum]

Ye vh thorton went surprisingly easy even if I screwed up some move order, didn’t even have to restart because rei is the goat

[timid hound]

Rei is ahead of his time, literally!

Oops spoilers

[crisp token]

My Rally squads basically all have CS2/Vigilance, Head Start 1, and Antitoxin lmao

[timid hound]

Don't forget flameproof!

[crisp token]

DW NC Blue comes with that built-in

[timid hound]

If only we had the luxury to queue into Anabel with support or strike bonus every time

Bertha has tanked Anabel UB the most for me

She's nuts

[crisp token]

Bertha cake when

[mental raft]

Last week was NC Red, this week NC Leaf!

Help!
My team not doing enough damage, and even the opponent side sync pairs just one hit killing us all!

Available sync pairs

Shop

Rika is reserved for A9 Field/Support!

I am trying to flinch them, but sometimes it misses and then death!

[leaden wraith]

I think you should try Ghetsis if you run out of candies/lodge stones for 2 LRosa dupes

[mental raft]

I will try with her first!

NC Cheren helpful for A10 UBs?

*Is

[leaden wraith]

Does the round have tech role? If yes he shows his usefulness in some UBs

[mental raft]

Yeah!

It's techsupp thanks!

[leaden wraith]

[slow dirge]

I tend to do this with NC Leaf

[timid hound]

Rightttttt

[crisp token]

The solution is to cake all your Tech/Supports so you can cash in on bonus roles AND save her for floor 10

(this includes NC Calem you coward)

[simple frost]

Hmm

i got fire upgrade. i've got enough bodies for it too. I've got a lot of Field Fire-types too

Hrm.

might as well

[leaden wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

this could work for me if i got NC Leaf

[crisp token]

It's mathematically proven to be the best choice!*

*Probably

[simple frost]

Yikes. Haaah. Then its Elaine's BC

Support and Sprint hrm. dang i used NC Rosa already

Finally done. Ugh

https://tenor.com/view/cappys-nft-cappys-cappys-one-of-us-one-of-us-cappys-sei-gif-10943681618443699439

[polar fable]

Oh yeah, poison boost and no geeta

[crisp token]

STONKS

INCREDIBLY BASED

[quaint star]

At least now he can solo easier

[polar fable]

…I dont do LG past 10 atleast

[simple frost]

lmao.... i got Darach.

okay. yeah. SS Morty + Variety Thorton 1 + NC Leaf.

1050 should do it with 2 Main Character + 2 Sinnoh and 3 Sp.ATK Power.

[quaint star]

If the bonus is Strike-Sprint, doable with Riley and NC Silver. The tank was Emma back then

Of course, I got 3 stacks of boost

[simple frost]

lmao

just in case, for Darach, i can buy an MPizza

hilarious

[proven matrix]

villain upgrade

or ghost

mmm

im gonna keep villain for now

[simple frost]

there we go 10250 clear 😮

as soon as i killed Darach, my fields ran out lol

[proven matrix]

i got the same seed as last week

this game man

[simple frost]

how much points did you get for that week? 😮

[proven matrix]

like

9200

idk

[simple frost]

with what freebie?

[proven matrix]

uh

lemme find out

[simple frost]

tbh, i only bought the Sinnoh Upg because it waas the SS Morty BC, Geeta died .-.;

[proven matrix]

electric upgrade

[simple frost]

(without it, i didnt have enough bulk to hit hard)

[proven matrix]

now i have villain upgrade and im mad

[simple frost]

Sinnoh has more o the sprints and fields tbh.

hrm. next time Riley 😦

[urban ledge]

I see I got the devil’s hand this week

And Cerena is out of TM uses too oof

I gambled and saved NC Leaf’s TM but not Cerena’s sadly

[simple frost]

No weather though.

[urban ledge]

That’s the previous round team l

Woo managed to purchase all vouchers, Powerups, and Orbs, and still have 5k tickets left

[simple frost]

noice.

[brisk holly]

this one is all over the place + sinnoh upgrade

[leaden wraith]

that's the best seed

it allows you to use all EXR combos

[quiet tiger]

Oh this might suck

[brisk holly]

5 of my pairs have their exr, just not sure when the right time to use them is since i feel like area 10 is gonna play some dumb games with me ☠️ area 10 is an ss steven moment ig

[heavy fjord]

i wish i got that seed ever

mine is ok at least

Champion Upgrade. Not gonna complain too much about either.

[crisp token]

Is VS Holiday Whitney immune to Poison or something? There's no way multiple 50% chance of Poison keeps failing, no?

[leaden wraith]

definitely luck issue

[slow dirge]

Get diced

Time to see what my runin is

With the caveat that if it's mass sprint I am not even trying

[crisp token]

No way it's just a pure luck issue with 50%, I've been doing this for the last 15 minutes, not a single poison

[leaden wraith]

have you checked his grid?

[crisp token]

Unless it's divided by 3

Yes

[leaden wraith]

it's not divided btw

[leaden wraith]

there is no poison immunity passive nor status shield

[slow dirge]

Get diced lmao

[crisp token]

That's what I thought, I remember it's usually very easy to poison with him

How do you evade literally 20 50%s

Bruh

[slow dirge]

idk try doing that many zap cannons

[heavy fjord]

Its a 50/50, equal chance to get it as to not

[slow dirge]

Ok this is... a start...

A2 (idk which), Unova free power, and I do not recall this stage but it's fairy weak so I am automatically Concerned.

Oh it's... wanting offensive stat drops and fairy zone

which pair even was that?

[crisp token]

Oh of course after I complain then he finally poisons

[slow dirge]

ofc

it's sod's law

[crisp token]

Took you long enough

[slow dirge]

it doesn't happen till you complain

I wish the stage guide indicated what event some of these were from

I have no fracking clue as to who this stage was for

fairy weak, sets dragon zone, tells you to debuff both offenses...

was this ss wally or something?

[heavy fjord]

ss wally

b move debuffs, fairy zone at will

[slow dirge]

yeah I was mostly baffled by the zone

I forgot fairy zone was a thing outside of like, some of the tapus

[crisp token]

Man I love Nemona

[slow dirge]

Hmm.

[crisp token]

Sync countdown with shield and gradual healing?

2 time mini nuke?

[slow dirge]

Do I stay on Unova or bounce to Water bonus?

[crisp token]

Flinch?

She got it all baby

Gotten through so many boostless floors with her cheese

[slow dirge]

yeah Nemona can go hard

and it helps that she's Sprint too

awkward bonus and sync accel

[crisp token]

She's definitely the MVP of Sprint/Fields

[slow dirge]

plus being sprint, she's able to refund her b move use at minor cost if you need her for multiple battles

[crisp token]

Enables so many janky teams that do not really deserve to win lmao

[crisp token]

Well she's dead now so that's that

Onwards!

[karmic briar]

Everything was fine till A10 Palmer tech+support happened

Grass boost bc ofc why something useful

[crisp token]

Oh

It's you

[simple frost]

Id.... Definitely grab a Power to 2 hrm

[polar fable]

Who is this horrible BC designed for

[heavy fjord]

I think it was Elaine

[simple frost]

Oh yeah

I got that with sup/sprint

[polar fable]

Why do the dumb vaporeons keep using haze

Screw it im doing hard

[simple frost]

Area 6 and 2 theme boost, it was nasty ugh

[simple frost]

Yeah. U need to flinch them and also have impervious

[polar fable]

Ig ill just do hard thorton

[tame forge]

Electric boost and area 10 is tech field

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-its-all-coming-together-gif-15058130

[crisp token]

Wth

Go to hell Palmer

Why do your sides also hit like semis

Who designed this

I want to talk

With a truck of my own

Please lay down in front of it

[crisp token]

In conclusion: Palmer and his hellspawn should be tossed into the nearest sun as soon as possible

[karmic briar]

Btw grass boost is a scam, there’s like 2 units with Rolex

[tame forge]

Mix red

[quiet apex]

Rally hates my guts.

[tame forge]

This is a really good combo to have for anabel though

The best even

The boosts though

[fluid mountain]

HELL YEAH! Champion Upgrade! The one that keeps getting better and better!

[bronze aspen]

I keep getting darach

Idk if i should be grateful as he's one of the easiest ones, or annoyed because i lowkey want to fight argenta or palmer

[crisp token]

You

WANT

to fight

Palmer

???

[bronze aspen]

Yes i have rei

[crisp token]

Can I give you every single Palmer match up I get

From now on just take all of them

[bronze aspen]

Will you take my darachs lol

[crisp token]

Sure

I never want to see that arrogant prick ever again

[bronze aspen]

Same with darach

Even moreso this run as i have a johto upgrade and a sprint tech boost

You want me to use ss lyra but he has status null..

[quiet apex]

If only SS Kris had Tech Cake

[tame forge]

She hasn't gotten role yet right

[ebon valve]

only SS Ethan so far

[quiet apex]

I know.

[ebon valve]

It better not be tech though.

[quiet apex]

But it would make VH a breeze if she was given a cake.

[tame forge]

Would rather her get something better

Anabel isn't always tech support anyway

Field pls

[ebon valve]

Well it's always random.

Area 10's distribution I mean.

[tame forge]

[ebon valve]

I've got steel bonus, with either strike focus, or 4:4.
A4-a or A4-b

[tame forge]

Steel bonus noo

[forest tendon]

When i get a Lucky area I should maximize using the double role units to maximize number of tickets gained, since that area gives 600 at base vs 300 for VH? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything before using rei ss gladion and NC Silver in one fight

[stark dawn]

Yeah max the role

It's worth

[forest tendon]

I'll see another sprint strike fight later on but that will only be worth 300 pts at base (I got a rally where the first 5 fights are the same roles as the last 5)

[quiet apex]

Still ended up on Hard as SS Kris was getting obliterated.
Probably should have just taken the 2 1.5x with NC Blue and SS Kris and one x2 with CSerena but oh well.
North of 8k as usuial.

[tame forge]

Ggs

I ended up doing hard area 10 instead of vh

[daring tide]

bug upgrade head in hands

[quiet tiger]

Had to reset for Red's MPR and for Nessa to get para or confused so Bede could keep spamming debuffs

[quiet tiger]

1 more Blizzard I might've lost

[crisp token]

Just go wild whenever you see a Lucky Stage, that's the stuff we're all chasing

[timid hound]

When you get lucky stage, use any role bonus you can

At that point fk A10

[crisp token]

Cash in that big bonus because that's the highest you'll ever get for the run

[timid hound]

Just downgrade to H

Lucky Stage takes priority

[crisp token]

Floor 10 is a SCAM

An extortion racket to steal your hard earned points by that loathsome dung eater Palmer

[heavy fjord]

Lucky Stages are double points. Its worth it.

[urban ledge]

Mm hmm

[forest tendon]

got it. it was beautiful getting 2400 from one fight (3 units with x2 bonus for the 600 pt area)

at least, I think that's how much I got from it. I didn't take a screen shot

[timid hound]

Yes 2400 is the max from 6 bonus lucky stage a.k.a. the maximum

It's an excellent feeling to get it, isn't it?

https://tenor.com/view/money-james-team-rocket-evil-pokemon-gif-3685422

[mental raft]

Who's the best WTZ setter?
It's Darach A10!!

I am just 15%HP away from beating him! But zone faints

[simple frost]

for that battle? Bertha tbh.

Initial Sandstorm + 2 Sandstorm + 2 Stealth Rock.

[mental raft]

Her sandstorm vanishes very fast!

[leaden wraith]

How many upgrades do you have rn?

NC Rosa is a WTZ killer when her B Move eats a lot of duration

[mental raft]

3

[simple frost]

ou, Confusion Power

[leaden wraith]

Your best bet is Acerola with a godly amount of Sandstorm MPR

How close are you to winning with the team?

[simple frost]

15% HP, are the sides dead?

[leaden wraith]

Nvm i thought you said 45

So getting another Psychic will seize the win then

[mental raft]

Yeah! That can work!
That's the problem with Bertha, no MPR at 1/5!

[mental raft]

Yep, very early they are dead just with stealth Rock lol!

[leaden wraith]

With another Psychic you can keep Bertha

Prioritize using Stealth Rock before resorting to Sandstorm

Until Darach reaches 40%

[mental raft]

Who?

Who can survive Darach?

[leaden wraith]

You can tank with Bertha

Later on you can spam her status move to avoid wasting WTZ time

like tanking with her on Psychic form and spam Sing

[mental raft]

I think I can try this with NC Rosa too!

Oh no! I forgot Rosa causes sleep!

Thanks!!

It will save a lot of animation time too!!!

Can another confusion upgrade work if the above fails?

I think the damage then become 500%, rn it is 400%

[leaden wraith]

You should give it a try first before committing to another confusion upgrade

[mental raft]

This is working! He reached 1%!

Just had to time more perfectly now!!

[leaden wraith]

[timid hound]

1% sounds like damage roll

Surely you'll get it next attempt

[astral path]

https://tenor.com/view/sobbing-sob-cry-tears-sad-gif-24749164

[timid hound]

Start running

[astral path]

This was last weeks run and now I got the exact opposite

[timid hound]

Start digging

[astral path]

Pfft

I’m getting no points this run am I…

[timid hound]

Do your best

[sharp haven]

Went a bit trigger happy in the shop after i got a lucky stage (with all three units with exr bonus) lol

[timid hound]

Wtf MaikaGOD

[urban ledge]

Man those mostly Field and Sprint ones look like a nightmare lol

[oblique breach]

I know right

Cuz I don't have that many

[mental raft]

I was not expecting this much!
It's not my best, but the score is kind of maintained even with such a bad seed!

[leaden wraith]

[glass patrol]

That is extremely normal

Only old weirdos have good mpr at 1/5

[heavy fjord]

Bruh.

Both tough skin fights immediately after each other

[stark dawn]

At least it's area 3

[heavy fjord]

This is true

Its more funny than annoying if im perfectly honest, but still

[crisp token]

Can areas repeat in the same run?

I haven't noticed

[stark dawn]

I believe the only area that can repeat is psychic weak bruno

because it's literally the same stage in the kanto and johto cs

[crisp token]

Makes sense

[heavy fjord]

Yeah once a stage appears its out of the pool the rest of the run afaik

[leaden wraith]

I think there was a screenshot of showing 2 same stages back to back back then? It was Electric weak Lance iirc

[crisp token]

Since we're on repeats, can the same stage appear multiple times on the same floor (besides floor 10 ofc)

Would be incredibly rare

[heavy fjord]

The 3 difficulties have different stage pools they pull from

So I dont think so

[crisp token]

Wait really

Huh

[heavy fjord]

yeah

[crisp token]

Interesting

[heavy fjord]

vh only pulls from battle challenge/CS stages, hard and normal don't have those in the pool as far as i know

[heavy fjord]

this was a good run

[copper nexus]

Not super sure why I’m struggling since I have both my bonuses here

[stark dawn]

Stage gimmicks maybe

[copper nexus]

I changed my team but really wanted to save Lana for final atea

[glass patrol]

Where did ur pixels go

[heavy fjord]

discord does that when copying images from other channels

[timid hound]

Time to really pray for that evasion

[heavy fjord]

thats thorton, there is no praying

[copper nexus]

Does he have piercing gaze it feels like it

[heavy fjord]

he does

every ub has it

[leaden wraith]

every UB does

[copper nexus]

That is so cringe

[timid hound]

Oh true

PG is cringe!

Looks like you can get mid down but then side might just murder you after

[copper nexus]

it does not help that I am getting perma flinched by the avaglugg

it has aggravtion right

[leaden wraith]

Greta is sprint field

[prisma gyro]

This is a very sprintfield hungry seed. I might have to off-role A10

[leaden wraith]

pull Greta for double bonus on A10

[quaint star]

So Greta is gonna be the first Springfield

[hasty marlin]

...on one hand, i want greta for bonuses.
on the other hand, shes pokefair and im broke

[leaden wraith]

hi broke

[hasty marlin]

i might be dumb and yolo a 3k gem multi for the offchance i get blessed. i havent decided yet.

[urban ledge]

WHAT

Our very first at last!

[karmic briar]

The meme is broken

while she’s not

[prisma gyro]

Hopefully the first of many to come

[austere cipher]

@simple frost my girl ss Lyra getting Field

[simple frost]

that means, SS Kris is getting that Field Cake for August.

yeh i'm down for that

[hasty marlin]

im kinda disappointed by the kits from what i skimmed through

[hasty marlin]

inb4 cake instead

[simple frost]

the rivals are free-ish

we're gonna have a lot of sprint/field units so that'ss good.

newbies will at least hit 750 points if they get Sprint/Field.

[hasty marlin]

if theyre really all five basically pseudo-free event units rather than trial units then im fine with them being subpar, i just dont feel impressed with greta and such

least it means ill have more fodder to throw at sprintfields rather than having to "waste" my good units

[austere cipher]

"absolutely"

[crisp token]

On the one hand, finally a Sprintfield!
On the other, Greta

[austere cipher]

can't wait

[simple frost]

yeah i'm not feeling Greta's kit.

[austere cipher]

wait wtf

[simple frost]

wat

[austere cipher]

first sprint field lmfao

[simple frost]

yeah

[austere cipher]

lemme check real quick

[simple frost]

No Quarter absent. 😦

[austere cipher]

dang

probably saving for op anni unit. sprint / field that hits like a truck

[simple frost]

hrm. well greta does last until august. so maybe?

[crisp token]

If it wasn't the month right before Anni these mayyy be tempting, but

It's Anni

In like 30 days

Ok not 30 exactly

But you get what I mean

[simple frost]

hrm yeah. guess i can save a bit

depends on the gemcount though

[austere cipher]

no worries. can randomly pull her on anni pf tickets.

[timid hound]

Pulling Greta cuz fave
Pulling Greta cuz Sprint Field

[austere cipher]

hoenn fav 🔥

sounds good

[leaden wraith]

Even if we ignore her Field EXR, she has fucking Spore

[simple frost]

updated my current ex roles + exroleables kuku

[crisp token]

The age of pull for faves is over
The age of pull for Rally is now

[austere cipher]

true cd reduce is a bonus + spd debuff/buff

pull for rally and lodge unit meta

[leaden wraith]

Kinda sad that they overbalanced her kit a bit

[timid hound]

She feels a touch like watered down VFalkner

Anyone else feel the same way?

[crisp token]

Sorry I don't recognise the existence of Variety pairs

But it's a sad day if you're worse than a hypothetical Variety pair

[simple frost]

Greta is Poke Fair though?

[austere cipher]

ye

can grab on pf deals later.

[timid hound]

This update feels like the sprint and field update that should've happened before Rally released

[quaint star]

We are also getting 3 free Field and 2 free Sprint for Rally

Too bad we can't cake either, but it's what it is

[crisp token]

Guilt free fodder to burn

[austere cipher]

free units yes

[mental raft]

I am aiming to pull SS Steven and Greta next month!

Sprint + Filed!

[fossil sandal]

Sprint and Field on the most mid kit ever released

[timid hound]

bUt sPoRe

[fossil sandal]

The base passives look like they could be slapped on a free event pair

[leaden wraith]

they overbalanced her

[timid hound]

Turbo Turf 2 on a passive slot feels like a middle finger moment

[simple frost]

dont think she's got grass extension right?

[fossil sandal]

At 5/5

grass extension 3

[leaden wraith]

imagine having to unlock EXR to activate the passive

[austere cipher]

grid XD

[fossil sandal]

but then again Dahlia has grass extension 5 at 3/5

[austere cipher]

imagine 5/5 for ge

[fossil sandal]

and gress rebuff

Dahlia so much better than Greta even in her type, it feels so wrong

[simple frost]

that just sucks for Greta fans 😦

[timid hound]

The best thing out of this patch is the crapton of sprint field pairs we're getting

So Rally enjoyers are winning

[simple frost]

Rival Theme Boost gonna be really nice.

[timid hound]

It feels a bit weird to get that many tho lol

I really thought they were variety

[austere cipher]

overall patch

[simple frost]

indeed

[crisp token]

I will not say no to free

Gimme

[timid hound]

I never say no to free!

Unless it's Trial Giver

Then no!

[mental raft]

All trial givers are alolans?

[leaden wraith]

trial givers are alola theme but smaller

[timid hound]

Which basically means it's alola but inferior

[mental raft]

You must be not liking Alolan F2Ps. I don't like it when Alola region rotation comes!

They are just too slow

[pearl lion]

gotta wonder if this is good

[leaden wraith]

i would consider getting it if you have planned your special dmg dealers on some rounds

if it's not saled off i don't recommend getting it

[pearl lion]

wow that looks miserable

[timid hound]

Good luck

[pearl lion]

itd be less awful if exr ss cyrus and lyra were out

at least 4 and 5 are free bc of sleep shenanigans

[pearl lion]

could be worse

[timid hound]

Excellent work — very respectable result

[urban ledge]

Skipping Greta

But as far as sprint and field goes, getting 2 fields and a sprint along with however many units from the damage event so massive help to my rallies haha

[prisma gyro]

I hope anni pairs are sprint/field at base

[prisma gyro]

Mfw i saved nc silver for a10 and it's darach:

[timid hound]

Foresight 100

[somber prawn]

normal boost....

fk this gonna retire and flop on the 300 gems

wish this BR was skippable

[stray ravine]

I mean, you gain nothing by retiring, could just fish for a better upgrade and/or go with easier battles and still get something out of it

[karmic wraith]

just wasted 150 points cuz i didnt realize that buying "crit immunity" at the shop didnt put up a crit shield and instead gave you a passive which palmer's piercing blows still ignores

dont hmu

[simple frost]

Dont retire. Just slowly get ur points in full

[karmic wraith]

literally just do easy mode 10 rounds in a row and you will get 300 gems

quitting cuz of a "bad bonus" (i'd kill for normal bonus lmao) is not a good idea

[urban ledge]

Yeah retiring is never the best option

Keep checking the shop after every round

[cobalt furnace]

Expecting a good free boost every week is extremely unrealistic anyway

There are 18 types and 8 trainer groups, ofc some of them won’t be as great as others

[crisp token]

Would you rather:
Spend 100 points on a new boost to earn 6-9k points total + 300 gems

Or

Spend 0 points but only earn 100 points total

[astral path]

There is no way I got this dumb stage 3 AGAIN on like one of the WORST sets

[simple frost]

A1? Rough

[astral path]

I actually almost made it and with max potions left

[astral path]

A3

I’m trying to get this team to A5 so I can get double sprint support points since these are my only 3.

If I can get past this one then I’m basically home free.

[leaden wraith]

what upgrades do you have rn?

NC Rosa can help with debuff at 3/5

[astral path]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-frog-kermit-kermit-meme-kermit-water-kermit-waterfall-gif-24226895

[astral path]

She was

[leaden wraith]

ah so you don't need help rn?

[astral path]

Unfortunately it was almost all accuracy which means nothing since of course Nessa has no problem with because of piercing gaze

[astral path]

Nah just here to vent lol

[leaden wraith]

[astral path]

Got through it. I realized I was doing that for nothing since I can’t do my A4 double points units and my sprint support A5 team. I’ll just keep going like this so I can save more units since A10 uses tech and maybe SSSteven or Cerena can help there.

Ok so I am now at fight 6 and realizing I may just be able to go through this whole BR with just this team. I kinda wanna try but also I really need the points rn. Maybe one week if I get this set again or another oops all Sprint I’ll go for this proper.

[leaden wraith]

[astral path]

I was foolish to think I could lmao. That was awful. I’ll hopefully have a booster to like psychic when I try this again in the future lol. It’ll probably be doable then.

[fair ember]

Trap for Anabel?

[leaden wraith]

sun from her sync will override perma rain, so you still need to bring a weather changer

unless you can pre sync her

[pearl lion]

anyone else really hate getting roark in BR?

[leaden wraith]

me

[pearl lion]

head smash kept killing my tanks so i dropped in a ss cyrus

or ss lyra if i need him later

i love him

lose some points but oh well

[broken bear]

field exr will be sooooooo nice

[urban ledge]

Roark’s annoying yes lol

And he LOVES to pop up in support less areas for some reason

[pearl lion]

or techless

bc hail ss cyrus and lyra the BR gods

tech is always a free round

and soon field will be too

[simple frost]

Its...neat but if u roll up against Argenta, yeet.

[slow dirge]

Ngl I wish I had any units that were these kinda BR gods

I just have some kronky DPS options and the hope I can win a damage race

[astral path]

Is this very hard doable with Sprint tech? I don’t have SSA Cynthia, SS Dawn, or NC Rosa since I used them for essentially quad rewards. If needed I can send unit list but it’ll be a lot lol

[urban ledge]

I don’t even know whoo’s a Tech Sprint

Uhh… Rei?

[hexed crane]

nah

Its SS May SS Wally Classic Elesa Archer and Larry

[karmic briar]

I don’t think you can use a double boost there, maybe classic Elesa for debuffs if you have her caked.. but you need May and a support with ex role tech bc Anabel hits hard

[hexed crane]

The tech boost may make Dojo Gloria and Serena a decent choice

[urban ledge]

None of those sound like they should be deployed anywhere near Anabel haha

[hexed crane]

I'd honestly probably take the point loss just to sub in SS Kris

or go do rei on palmer with sc steven

[astral path]

Oh I was not saying for double. Just clearing the damn thing lol

[karmic briar]

There’s tech

Ncserena may and a support with ex role should do it

[hexed crane]

You have Rei and Dojo Gloria @astral path

?

[astral path]

I have Glojo not Rei

[hexed crane]

Rei is the main carry on palmer

Could always apple cup just to clear it and take the loss of points

[pearl lion]

you have ss cyrus. that shits free

[astral path]

I don’t have any supports left with EXR that could help ;-;

[hexed crane]

Anabel gains resilience

[astral path]

I tried it gains resistance after first one

[pearl lion]

wait no

[astral path]

If that was the case I would’ve been free

[pearl lion]

i forgot this is anabel

[astral path]

Yeah I was so excited to cheese her I saved him just for her and then nope

[hexed crane]

none of the EBs can be sleep chained

they all get resilience

[pearl lion]

Uh can always drop down to hard

[hexed crane]

Lack of rei will hurt

I might just do normal anabel if you don't have a good matchup against the other two

[astral path]

I’ll try but I highly doubt I’ll make a dent. I can try but idk what I’d even do tbh. Maybe SC Steven, SST Red and some water/grass type to help my bonuses

[hexed crane]

For Palmer?

[astral path]

Yeah

[hexed crane]

Glojo

tank with steven and set up for a max knuckle bomb and gmax volt crash finish

Could also go with max conductivity turn 1

[astral path]

That’s what I usually run on Red

Got it with that team thanks for the suggestion!

First try too lol

[oak jolt]

For field strike SC selene always saves the day when I have to go unboosted and the stage doesn't have unflappable/resilience

[molten ice]

Sinnoh bonus, Thorton VH, seed that doesnt let me use a lot of 2x bonus because I do not have more than 3 of each combination
But not so bad

[oak jolt]

Got Kalos boost, used it for the last 2 areas only

At least I got crit bonus

Kalos isn't that bad, but there wasn't a single area that matched with my Kalos Rolex units

[obsidian sentinel]

Someone had fun designing this

[simple frost]

A10 is sprint field? Ooof

[half bone]

...Jesus.

Well, I got Sinnoh Boost.

[simple frost]

Cant wait for the DC Units for these sprint heavy seeds

Ive got a sizeable field / field exr so the sprint injection to the roster is gonna be nice

[mental raft]

For me there is no better combination than this seed and Sinnoh/Fighting Upgrade!

[twilit chasm]

Just realize greta cant even counter any a10 boss??

[simple frost]

Let me check

[leaden wraith]

she doesn't have good matchup against most boss

[twilit chasm]

Damn, the only sprint field unit is even unneeded

[simple frost]

Essentially u basically use her for sprint field that isnt a10.

[leaden wraith]

there will be more better sprint field in the future

she is the worst pokefair of 2024 and in a while

[twilit chasm]

You mean in 2028 when sstr is finally outclassed right

[leaden wraith]

[twilit chasm]

Or maybe variety hugh with worse kit than regular one

[stiff flume]

She's def great for BR sprintfield areas that are nightmare sometimes bcs of theme bonus
Putting everyone to sleep is a good cheap solution
Outside that ehh
But releasing her now make no sense, 2 months ago would have been kinda impactful bcs scarce sprint/field units
Now we got old exRoles, plus all the new damage challenge units inflating the roster (even if it will take a while)

[timid hound]

Greta is just plain mediocre

She doesn't bring anything new to the table other than her role bonus

Maybe if she released 2 years earlier she would've been good

So her being a pokefair is kinda ???

[leaden wraith]

the only way to make her top tier is releasing her back in 2022 era

[timid hound]

Wow a sleep move that doesn't need TB1!

[leaden wraith]

Pokefair

[stiff flume]

Ramos but w max move📉

[sweet mango]

Should I stick with johto or go with unova?

[simple frost]

How's ur unova sprint field?

[sweet mango]

First is my unova exr

I have 2/5 exr ss morty

[simple frost]

What about other regions/type for ur sprint/field?

[sweet mango]

I have 32 exr

[simple frost]

Wat area are u in now?

[sweet mango]

3

[simple frost]

Id skip unova but a4 is the only sprint/field

[leaden wraith]

Unova is the better options overall

[sweet mango]

oh, i was more focused on a10 support/field at first

thought you ask support/field

[stark dawn]

I cant even apple cup my way out of this

The misery

[sweet mango]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-the-misery-oh-the-misery-everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-gif-25368312

what upgrade could be better than unova?

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-enemy-gif-26060704

[leaden wraith]

Main Character, Champion, Kanto, Sinnoh... are considered the top ones

[sweet mango]

Should I take unova or move on?

[leaden wraith]

I would recommend taking Unova, unless you believe in your luck to get the top themes

[sweet mango]

https://tenor.com/view/unova-pokemon-pokemon-black-and-white-b2w2-unova-pokemon-gif-7340830697326558389

[sweet mango]

Is this worth?

[leaden wraith]

If your teams onwards allow room to debuff defense, sure

[sweet mango]

i got 1

i'm on stage 6 with tech/sprint against psychic weak bruno and archer and larry are fighting weak

[leaden wraith]

Tech allows you to bring sleeper/flinch bot

[sweet mango]

Illusion of choice

Which unova support should I use?

[leaden wraith]

Bellelba is nice for extra defense

You can use Skyla for much stronger recovery too

[sweet mango]

No lucky area

[leaden wraith]

It's a solid score

Congrats

[sweet mango]

[glass patrol]

Yo what

I thought volo had it

What the Greta do

I just read it

Guaranteed triple is such giga kek

Where’s her terrain btw

Or is it just field

EZ 2400 points

[kindred seal]

You know, for all those field units you've acquired over the years. Is there a worse list than this?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[kindred seal]

I suppose I could run a Field/Strike for 6 stages if I don't care about score

[heavy fjord]

Its among the worst for me

[kindred seal]

i cry every tim

[fresh holly]

This weeks 🧩

[simple frost]

anything in sshop that can help?

[fresh holly]

Nothing cheap

Yeah no additional items for sure

Obviously rei can smoke palmer but only 1.0

[leaden wraith]

i assume your boost is Hoenn or Kalos?

[fresh holly]

2x hoen

Whoops

[leaden wraith]

rip

[heavy fjord]

SST Red and NC Hop is a decent seeming duo to me

[leaden wraith]

my thought too, if the team could afford Geeta it would be better

i want to suggest Anime, but she is not helping in that team

[heavy fjord]

Shes a 2.0 bonus that activates the boost, doesnt help a ton though

Id say try Anni May/NC Hop/SST Red (Red probably the best tank of the 3) and see how it goes to start with

[fresh holly]

Hoenn units

[lost cliff]

red's basically just a sitting duck though if psy terrain is up

[leaden wraith]

let's try with this team Mex comes up with first

if it doesn't work you should replace Anime with SC Steven, and if Anime team is really close to winning consider purchasing a boost to help

[heavy fjord]

You focus on electric terrain

May functions better without psychic terrain, although not ideal ofc

[lost cliff]

true

[fresh holly]

Goal as always max poimts and I can rip hard mode with 3x 2.0

[leaden wraith]

she can help with chipping, but it's not significant enough

[simple frost]

only 800 points iff you manage to beat Hard Thorton.

[leaden wraith]

with your team VH still gives more points, even if you are forced to buy a 100 point boost

[fresh holly]

This will take a sec I have no skill gear match for hop and red

[fresh holly]

That team doesn’t even comeclose

I don’t see how a 3rd hoenn would work

[leaden wraith]

are you running Hop's sync nuke build

and does he take out Palmer at least?

[fresh holly]

Not sure if this is it

And no there isn’t enough ramp up

With no flinches on sides you just get mowed

[leaden wraith]

i thought Red could handle the sides while Hop focuses on the middle

so sides took you out after the middle fainted?

[fresh holly]

Nah giga syncs even changing field from normal team dies

On next hit

May sometimes dies on sync

[leaden wraith]

how much % left does Palmer have when he took the team out?

[fresh holly]

75%

Its not even close

Without a support 2x sync bonus

[leaden wraith]

that is sure weird

[fresh holly]

The damage is bad

[leaden wraith]

well if you want to end this fast, bring 3 2.0x to H difficulty then

[fresh holly]

Red cs2 , super power zapdos

The battle is just so short cause sides stats cant be reduced

[leaden wraith]

you can use Red's max move on the first turn to immediately paralyze all of them

[fresh holly]

Yep

[leaden wraith]

tbh, if you can record your gameplay, it will help us investigate the cause and give you feedback

[fresh holly]

I could try flinch thundershock

[leaden wraith]

you can't flinch here

the opponents have immunity to it

[fresh holly]

Ah

It’s really not close

I could get super luck, but even so

[leaden wraith]

let's go to H then

[leaden wraith]

you shouldn't bother setting Psychic Terrain at all

how about gridding a TM MPR on Hop, and use it right after Palmer's sync and sync nuke before his max move?

sync with Red first for extended terrain

[fresh holly]

I was dead lol

I hit it because sync was incoming

[leaden wraith]

well i think you should go to H

[fresh holly]

I agree palmer requires very specific units

[leaden wraith]

if your upgrades allowed you to use more useful units than May, or you got more Hoenn upgrades, Palmer would be easier to deal with

[fresh holly]

Zzz

[ebon valve]

Here she is. All by herself.

I know id want her in my roster for rally but.... Nah skip.
