Battle Rally

[simple frost]

pretty much. good luck

if nothing else another crit power, but only cuz you've got support/field

[leaden wraith]

they said they beat her

[fluid mountain]

All areas done on VH
A mid 2-cycle same bonuses seed, 4 BCs, a GOD SHOP, and a solid defeat on Evelyn UB, even though I missed the NC Leaf sync nuke's crit twice.

Items used:

• 1 Johto Upgrade (starting)
• 1 Crit PU (50, from A4)
• 1 Kanto Upgrade (100, from A6)
• 1 Champion Upgrade (100, from A7)

Battles per area:
1: Blaine BC (from Larry and Kabu event)
2: Shauntal Ice-W CS
3: Hala Fairy-W CS
4: Karen Fighting-W CS
5: N BC (From Volo and Jacq event)
6: Flint Water-W CS
7: Black Belt BC (from SS Wally event)
8: Aaron Ground-W CS
9: Grimsley (Alola) BC (from Poké War Games SC event)
10: Evelyn UB

[mental raft]

Evelyn is the easiest one in new UBs I guess?

But

Why are you tanking with NC Blue when you have his better version AS Steven by his side?

And 8 sync buffs

The battle was not easy

[muted sparrow]

Blue: almost die
Leaf: only has 50% left
Steven: Full Hp

[simple frost]

its only easy if you can catch a break with damage upgrades.

[fluid mountain]

Yeah, probably because I'm trying to take adventage on Kanto Upgrade, but yeah

[mental raft]

Now I am thinking of pulling both NC Blue and NC Leaf!

NC Leaf has high utility against UBs as well

[fluid mountain]

Yeah, mostly because many pairs can debuff at least two stats, so you complement that with another one that debuff other stats

[fluid mountain]

Both are awesome, and yeah, NC Leaf can lower both attacks and both defenses 1 level with a Leer. NC Blue can also lower both attacks at 3/5 iirc

[bronze escarp]

Thank you so much!

[molten ice]

Starting bonus was bug in team, found a Rival bonus and bought it immediately, then I found Champion bonus and bought it twice.
VH was Lucy and no lucky area but still 10k+

[serene spoke]

Clutch rally

Decent rally?

[mental raft]

Did you Apple Cupped it?

The points spent are quite high!

If this is your first rally, it's nice!

The score depends on the seed, themes and number of ExR

[serene spoke]

No

[serene spoke]

It's my third but I'm quite new

[serene spoke]

I bought the free bonus like 4 times

Then 2 sp atk up power up

2 super effective up power up

2 crit up power up

Around that basically

[mental raft]

It's still nice!
I remember my score was less than that when I started

[mental raft]

Suppereffective Power Up is not good, because most of the time you offtype!

Other purchased items are good!

[serene spoke]

i only offtyped in the last one tbf

and for most of them i got the bonus

aside from the last one and the ones in which i didnt have a fire unit of the matching role

(and sprint and field ofc)

[mental raft]

As your roster expands and you invest in it, try to narrow down your spent point below 350 little by little every week!

[serene spoke]

hmmmm

i saw someones post about how they buy this stuff to make the rally less hectic

[mental raft]

Because initially you don't have many EXRs so saving points is best!

[serene spoke]

while they get a bunch of easy pointss

cuz they are able to do very hard instead

[serene spoke]

i will try, but i think without spending i wont be able to do the very hard stages

which i did for the most part other than the ones where i didnt have on type dps, to maximise as many points as i could

i got like 2x the points i got in my 1st and 2nd rally

so pretty happy with that

[mental raft]

It's okay to spend points but to some extent and 750 is a lot of points! So try narrowing it down!

And always ask here before buying anything new in the shop, in case how much will it actually help!!

[serene spoke]

i will try then

ok btw

so if i buy a 100% boost to stats

then a 100% boost to super effective hits

its essentially a 4x dmg buff right?

but then if i get more stat boosts its additive

[mental raft]

That's great!!

[serene spoke]

and same with super effective its

hits*

[serene spoke]

thanks

[mental raft]

Yeah it's additive, the more theme boosts you buy, the more your stats increase!

But I don't know the answer of suppereffective one!!

[serene spoke]

but if one boosts stats and other boosts dmg by 100% each

then technically it should be x4 over base right?

[mental raft]

Oh right yeah!

Its 4x

Because it is double of double

So it's multiplicative

But the same theme boost or power up is additive

[serene spoke]

alr

so what about critical hit up and super effective up

since both of them boost dmg

so it would be additive?

i just calculated i was essentially dealing 48x the normal dmg holy

(if crit and super effective)

[mental raft]

In this case you have 5 theme boosts so that's 6x your base stats!

Then 2x of three different power ups!

So you were hitting
6x * 2x * 2x * 2x = 48x damage I assume!

Considering all are in effect

[serene spoke]

actually i just calculated

i got 7 of them

cuz 400 from the theme boost

and 350 for the others

350/50 = 7

[serene spoke]

but wouldnt dmg boost be additive

[mental raft]

Umm wait I might be wrong!

[serene spoke]

so it would be 6 * (3+3+1)

6*8 = 48

[mental raft]

I think you should ask either Rei hunter or Gakon tomorrow because I am not sure!

And I think they must be knowing it!

[serene spoke]

alr anyways

thanks

[simple frost]

for power upgrades, just stick to 1 or 2

any more is kinda removing the chance for a better Theme Boost (for bulk)

[sweet mango]

4 mc, started with 1 fire, 1 rebuff power.

[simple frost]

gradual healing's kinda bad

9x Theme Boosts is very very expensive.

5x's good enough for most battles.

3x is pristine.

the MG+ is also bad, D;

[zealous jay]

That’s healing.

[simple frost]

rip i guess.

[zealous jay]

I was just showing that I got Instant Fissure on my end.

I don’t really care about getting a high amount of points from Rally.

Since I don’t have the units to do it.

[rancid zodiac]

No lucky stage

[simple frost]

10k reaching to 11k, pretty solid tbh.

[rancid zodiac]

Thanks, quite lucky seed tho

[simple frost]

i pray for Palmer for this week ❤️

[rancid zodiac]

I see Nita = instant switch to hard difficulty, I had her 2 times in a row

[simple frost]

funny enough, i haven't used apple cup yet or switched to hard at all.

but eventually... apple cup usage soon

[rancid zodiac]

I want practice mode, points are too precious

I can buy more feathers and get dead rolls

If survivability is the problem, it's best to bring a support with Strike/Tech EXR to absorb hits

ICYMI, using 4 matching roles on VH only gives you 100 more pts than using all 6 matching roles on H

For fairy zone put SS Mina in center

Iirc the center sync pair overrides others wtz

[leaden wraith]

No, the 3rd pair in tactics will have their entry WTZ stay on the field

It has nothing to do with being placed on the center or on the side

[normal python]

Now how the hell do I handle the AS units' BC with in the town of sprintfield?

[leaden wraith]

You can keep Weavile, and sets Fairy Zone later

[leaden wraith]

Please provide us more context

[normal python]

A3

Sprint/Field bonus

[mental raft]

I see

[normal python]

5th anni AS units BC

With Johto bonus

[leaden wraith]

How about your theme boosts and units

Taking a screenshot of available pairs will help

[mental raft]

You said this once before too!

But I forgot!

[leaden wraith]

Smh

[serene spoke]

Wdym

[serene spoke]

Y'all get lucky stage?

[serene spoke]

Who is nita?

[normal python]

You know what, I'd probably just rather use the intended units for this stage

[serene spoke]

Wait what

Where is this

[simple frost]

that should be Fall 2023 BC.

[leaden wraith]

Absol's pastebin

[tight escarp]

BP Pair and one of the UB Battles

[leaden wraith]

Both pastebin are pinned here

[mental raft]

https://youtu.be/0IZ-JzS-veM?si=sUXxBwYQ_JrgefMr

[serene spoke]

Ah ok

[serene spoke]

Ik, but since there are so many battles in the rally, how do I find the right one

Also what is the difference in the UB/BC and the one that shows up in the rally

[leaden wraith]

Buying unnecessary theme boosts will reduce the chance of other themes spawn in the shop after each round, is what they meant. It's poorly worded so you got a confusion

[leaden wraith]

You can search for the opponents' name in the pastebin

[serene spoke]

Ah ok thanks

[leaden wraith]

There is no difference. All of those stages are plain copy paste, except their stats are adjusted to match difficulties

[serene spoke]

But then , if I got more theme boosts of a certain theme why would I want other themes, when I could get a much larger boost from just one theme

[serene spoke]

How is their difficulty adjusted?

[leaden wraith]

For example Ultimate Battles on A10 VH have their stats increased

[serene spoke]

What about E and H?

Also do some battles like Noland only come on easy

[leaden wraith]

Decrease/increase stats for UB, the VH version of other stages are the same, while on lower difficulties their stats get lowered

[serene spoke]

Cuz I have not seen it anywhere else

[serene spoke]

So all Areas are just UBs?

[simple frost]

iirc easy/normal is at 10% of their usual stats. hard is around 50% of their stats reduced.

[leaden wraith]

For more flexibility, perhaps. For example if you run out of Fire units, you don't have any other choices for later rounds where opponents get stronger

[mental raft]

No most are CS!

Highly recommend reading the Battle Rally guide
https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1232035765954019338

[leaden wraith]

Some theme skills are really bad that stacking them doesn't help

How valuable a theme boost is depends on your roster

[serene spoke]

Well fire is pretty good

Cuz I believe I have the most amount of fire units

[leaden wraith]

It was an example

[viscid flicker]

TIL, thank you

[serene spoke]

Yea but that flexibility comes at the cost of power, so If I have more than 10 of a certain theme just stacking it would be better no?

[leaden wraith]

And then, you might lack a Fire Field or Sprint for Field/Sprint round

[serene spoke]

I lack field and sprint in general

[leaden wraith]

That is ultra overkill, and when you run out of units whom match the theme boost, they will be useless

[serene spoke]

Only two sprint units in all and 0 field

[leaden wraith]

That's why flexibility is more recommended overall

[serene spoke]

Hmm

[serene spoke]

I was still struggling with 5 theme boosts 3 sp atk power up 3 super effective up and 1 crit up : 😢

Or my definition of struggling is wrong

[leaden wraith]

Having good boosts doesn't mean you are guaranteed to power through stages without trouble

[serene spoke]

Is doing only 20% Dmg to side mons struggling or not?

[serene spoke]

So how much should I spend

[leaden wraith]

You still have to bring gimmick checks to the stages, if there are any

[serene spoke]

Cuz I don't have a great roster, and most of my units are uninvested

[leaden wraith]

That depends on your current situation. Usually 2 - 3 theme boosts are enough, but you should have a diverse roster at that point first

[serene spoke]

And I want the rally points for free roll cakes and orbs

[leaden wraith]

And only buy boosts when you need them, don't just blindlessly purchase everything

[serene spoke]

What about stuff like sp atk power up

Or crit up and super effective up

[simple frost]

crit power up is ideal.

SE Up not so much.

[serene spoke]

They are 50 each so they are good value as well right?

And sp atk power up?

Isn't that just a free 100% Dmg boost

[simple frost]

depends on how often you can sp.atk your team.

[serene spoke]

Cuz all units have a sp atk stat

[leaden wraith]

Crit, atk and spatk up are good boosts in general. Super effective one is not really good since you don't always do ontype in BR

[heavy fjord]

The easier the requirement is to fulfill, the better they are

[serene spoke]

Alr

[leaden wraith]

Getting 1 - 2 of them is enough

[heavy fjord]

Something like SE Up is harder to use than Atk Up, so its worse as a result

[serene spoke]

But then if I buy only like the crit up, isn't my team just gonna not have survivability and just die

[leaden wraith]

Again, that depends on your current situation

[leaden wraith]

[serene spoke]

Hm

[leaden wraith]

Those power ups will ofc make things easier, but they don't make your playthrough braindead

[serene spoke]

Like so many of the stages have aoe moves and my main Dmg dealer was getting almost one shot even when my defense was 5x

So without them it feels like I will instantly just loose

[leaden wraith]

That usually means you don't shut down the gimmicks that powerup opponents' attacks

[serene spoke]

But I should still try and prioritize VH right?

[leaden wraith]

Or you don't bring the units whose themes match with the boosts

[normal python]

Who's BC is poison-weak Victor for again?

[serene spoke]

I thought only A10 had gimmicks 😭

[serene spoke]

I did

[leaden wraith]

Ideally

[leaden wraith]

There are 2 Poison weak Victor stages

[serene spoke]

Cuz I remember the previous rallies i did before I didn't buy much and couldn't even do Hard for the most part

[leaden wraith]

Just be mindful that their sync move types must match with the theme boosts. Like using Oak/Mew doesn't activate Fire boost for example

[serene spoke]

Alr

Gloria will not activate fighting / flying either right

[heavy fjord]

Either Ball Guy, or Klara

[leaden wraith]

Then you simply didn't powerup your teams with boosts and/or address dangerous gimmicks

[serene spoke]

Cuz no theme for that?

[leaden wraith]

Correct, she is counted as Fire type

[serene spoke]

Hm

Anyways thanks

[leaden wraith]

If you want to, we helpers here will gladly guide you step by step when you do the next runs, until you collect enough experience

[serene spoke]

Thanks!

[normal python]

Well fuck, SS Morty's BC came up just when I used him in a previous support/field area

Actually, my only silver lining is that I have SS Kris

Well, I also have DC Tierno

So funny, I got MC upgrade at A10 and Noland is my VH stage

And I have Stat Down: Power Up upgrade and my bonus is field/tech, and my field/tech units need paralyze in order to debuff, and Noland is immune to paralyze

And my hard is Masked Royal

Apparently, NC Cheren made this too easy albeit I got MC upgrade

9,570 points isn't bad

[wary cove]

got distracted by vacation

can i finish br in 20 mins if i marathon easy

[ebon sorrel]

Almost missed rally this week

But take a look at this shop, i never had one as good as tgis

[wary cove]

😔 got through 9

no 300g for me ;-;

[ebon sorrel]

Oh that sucks

I'm not used to 3 time speed, but just to make sure i could guarantee these 300 i played all stages on it

[normal python]

Sinnoh upgrade

[fossil bramble]

LMAO.

Sis is cooked

[mental raft]

Hehe!
I will assume I didn't got BFF!

[mental raft]

SS Morty!

[fossil bramble]

SS Morty + Mix Red

[mental raft]

Or Mix Blue?

[fossil bramble]

Well Mix Blue can be the 3rd unit

[mental raft]

Argenta will be fried!

[fossil bramble]

Wait no. Status Change is still needed

SS Ethan

[timid oasis]

Both striker sprint

[fossil bramble]

Actually. I think I already got this exact A10

[mental raft]

I hope Palmer!

[fossil bramble]

I may have done a full Striker/Field already

Red, Blue, Ethan

I may try that again

[next fern]

fairy and gym leader eh? seems pretty doable

[ebon sorrel]

I only really buy from the shop if the boosts are either a region, main character or crit

On rare instances sync

[twilit chasm]

Heat wave is ass

[simple frost]

thorton?

[twilit chasm]

Champion is better if u pull many masterfairs imo

[twilit chasm]

Funny enough, darach’s heat wave in sandstorm

[fossil bramble]

I realized I have triple Sprint/Striker. Glad one is a Lucky Stage because I only have 4

[urban ledge]

Guess I’m ZOOMING all the time

I don’t nearly have enough units to score high this time lol

On the plus side both Kalos and Alola cover a lot

Double sprintfield is eww tho

Plus, sync power up yay

[mental raft]

Fully boosted too!

[fossil bramble]

[mental raft]

This is the second Kukui I got!
Does this mean MR A10?

I will know soon enough

[fossil bramble]

[mental raft]

Champion vs Champions!

What are the gimmicks with Giovanni?

Just stat debuffs and wtz?

[leaden wraith]

Field effects like Darach and requires you to haze buffs

[mental raft]

Okay!

Can Rei, AS Cynthia and NC Rosa do it?

Wait no

She is out of sandstorm

[leaden wraith]

and there is no hazer there

[normal python]

If you ignore his buffs, you're pretty much fucked

[mental raft]

I will do Argenta then!

[normal python]

Giovanni's gimmicks are attuned for Akari and SC Zinnia

[mental raft]

Don't have any of them

[rancid zodiac]

Nope, as I said

[mental raft]

I think I should give this a shot!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZjbbz28D8A

Speed might be an issue but I will still try it!

[fossil bramble]

Realistically if you can survive after first sync, you can technically brute force the status buff

But that's more on investment check and bonus tho

[mental raft]

[fossil bramble]

You can certainly try if Rei can bruteforce it

Needs a WTZ setter tho

Oh btw

He debuffs accuracy

[mental raft]

Yeah sadly

I have to try Poppy

[fossil bramble]

I think that may be the reason I haven't done my clear yet

There are times Akari is hit with crucial misses

[normal python]

And this is another gimmick for SC Zinnia to counter

[fossil bramble]

I'll try with Acuity Akari later, assuming I don't get lazy

I don't have Zinnia lol

[simple frost]

hrm dark.

[fossil bramble]

Imagine if you get Gio UB with all the talk about him

[simple frost]

whoa. that's actually a nice combo.

[fossil bramble]

Question

If you buy a consumable is it an immediate use

The only consumable I ever remember buying is

[dull spire]

Yes

[simple frost]

if you check their details, it'll tell you if its one time battle only

[fossil bramble]

Drat. I was hoping you can save those

[simple frost]

Items in the H, I are one time items typically.

A B C D are power ups/theme boosts

[dull spire]

Applicable only for next battle or used up immediately (scopes/meals on bottom right).

[simple frost]

E F are typically permanent upgrades from team wild vigilance, gradual healing,

G can be those above, but can also contain Zones, Terrains, and Weather conditions.

[fossil bramble]

Oh wait scope is technically consumable. Ye I buy those

[dull spire]

I still rmb getting item E F G on my early days of Rally.
Not anymore!

Unless I get above 9750 points/week.

[fossil bramble]

I still remember doing x10 boost

[dull spire]

Same, I did it for 2-3 weeks.

Before the harsh realization hits me.

[fossil bramble]

Now it's majorly scope

[dull spire]

I still need to get 400-500 points increase.
Hovering in 9-9.3k currently without lucky stage.

[rancid zodiac]

MLG no scope in BR Then a nasty surprise in area 10

[simple frost]

oh. oh no. Please be Sprint/Tech on A02 ....

[fossil bramble]

Life is full of surprises. I don't need anymore from A10

[dull spire]

Tadah, Noland VH H Easy

[fossil bramble]

Although I'll probably do it once

Inb4 it's Nemona

[simple frost]

not .... bad

i think i'll clear CS first i guess

[muted sparrow]

Maybe i need May’s Tm mpr

[mental raft]

I did it!

I beat Giovanni!

Lillie sync KOed him from 40%

I bought 2 Champion Upgrades and 2 Crip PUs

[simple frost]

Cheren stage 😦

[fossil bramble]

Good stuff

[mental raft]

Wdym?
His BC or NC Cheren CS electric?

[simple frost]

electric weak~

hrm

i can use both bianca and nc blue up in A10

so that leaves me with

Emma and SS Serena gamin? well then

[mental raft]

Use both!

[simple frost]

aight streaming

[muted sparrow]

Finally

[mental raft]

Great!

[fossil bramble]

Bye Raihan

Two of the three Tech/Support has HE8 passive, so I can't use Oleana here yet lol

A1 is Victor, A4 is Geeta

Also this is super worth right

[mental raft]

Yes

You always decrease opponents stats so it's great

[fossil bramble]

A4 is the HE8 fight, and the last I can get away with no Fire unit

[mental raft]

Opponents stats down power up is better!
It will affect both moves and sync moves!

[fossil bramble]

Oh whoops I already bought it

I assumed the stat down is atk only, but it's fine

[mental raft]

I can't go without a theme boost for that long!

A3 utmost

[fossil bramble]

Geeta ended up boosting Oleana

[fossil bramble]

It depends on the fight too but ye A4 can possibly be close

[mental raft]

And that's a BC too!

[fossil bramble]

I was planning to use Oleana on A1 since it's BC for Klara, and HE8 too, but had to check A4

I know A4 is my limit but

Okay Red is just OP. Or the boost is making up for it. Or both

[fossil bramble]

A10 shop gave me perma Sunny Day. I won't buy it but the game really wants me to destroy Argenta

[simple frost]

gotta save geeta and mix red... but its grass weak HRM

AHHH might as well

@mental raft i'm back ;o

[mental raft]

Your stream ended!
Ah I am late!

I tried joining the stream but my network glitched! Lol

[simple frost]

Argenta was my A10

Strike/Sup

[mental raft]

You will share the sheet?

[simple frost]

4x EVAPow and 3x Dark Boost

ah wait a bti

[mental raft]

Not another upgrade! Sad

But that Dark theme carried your teams well!

[simple frost]

only Tierno and Anni May died

that eva+4 and eva pow in the beginning saved me from the steven bc ;<

[mental raft]

You have written Trevor instead of Tierno

[simple frost]

oh right

[urban ledge]

You bet your sweet patootie I picked VH Darach over H Nemona lol! Picked up Alola boost on top of my free Kalos one, and 9 sync power ups.

Yes 9 lol

[fossil bramble]

I bought another fire bonus as Argenta is super tanky, not remembering that I wasn't applying Trap

But it has been done!

[fair ember]

What the hell is this

[timid oasis]

That's a-MAZ-ing score

[fossil bramble]

[fair ember]

Gloria and Inteleon
Grass weak and asks for sleep

[fossil bramble]

I thank the children

[fossil bramble]

Greta?

[timid oasis]

Ramos stage

[simple frost]

that's for uh, greta's bc

[mental raft]

The reason she battle with us!

[fossil bramble]

[rancid zodiac]

MC upgrade so something bad must be waiting for me in a10

[simple frost]

ultra jelly in the beginning, discounted? Cool.

[tight escarp]

This is like the 3rd time I get Dragon upgrade

Give me something new bru

Ew first stage is sprint field too

[serene spoke]

how the hell do u maintain this

[simple frost]

?

[serene spoke]

i would be mad if i got dragon

i only have 3 units

[simple frost]

maintain wut?

my spreadsheet?

[serene spoke]

how do u maintain that spreadsheet

[serene spoke]

yets

[simple frost]

i worked on it for a few days

tweaking and whatnot

so i can just copy a cheat called v7 original

[serene spoke]

so much effort

i could never

[simple frost]

it allows me to select which battles too

those are dropdowns

[serene spoke]

wow

[serene spoke]

if i start working on a project like this i forget about it and uhm

leave it at 5% done

[simple frost]

on PC, i'm able to type weakness or their name.

uhm you can make a copy of my battle rally sheet, but its made for PC/Mac users

not for mobile

if you want for mobile, you can ask Pykuo's sheet

[serene spoke]

nah its fine

too much documentation for me

[simple frost]

its a learning progress tbh

i've even got a tally of ubs i've beaten, and points i've gotten each weak

color coded too

for monthly best/weekly best/lucky stage, and whatnot

[serene spoke]

ig its good to see what progress u have made, but again too much effort for me

especially when u are just playing to relax

:p

[rancid zodiac]

I did something like that, but my pc died and I couldn't restore it

[serene spoke]

rip

[simple frost]

that's why my stuff are on google drive

i do make physical backups though

[tight escarp]

This game just loves giving me dark type VH stages

[fair ember]

4 upgrades

In the end it was a matter of GUESSING when Giovanni uses his TM

[simple frost]

he's kinda slow

if you pummel him with damage boosts or theme boosts.

[leaden wraith]

Water upgrade
Crit powerup on R1
Staircase seed 🚮

[mental raft]

This week summary!
Thanks to lucky area I was able to cross 11k mark for the first time!

This is my PB

-# One week ago I got this same seed with same BFF theme, lucky area and good run made the difference!

What's the best Tech-Strike tanker BESIDES Anni '21 Lillie?

[mental raft]

Crit PU!

[mental raft]

SC Irida

Evasion tanking

Idk how well she will perform in A10 tho

[stark zinc]

Ah fuck

[fair ember]

I do SC Barry with endure

[stark zinc]

1/5?

[fair ember]

Doesnt matter cus its his tm

And hes always next to NC red anyways

Freeze to death

[stark zinc]

I don't have tech/sprint unit and i only have 2 tech/field units

This could be a hassle

[brazen jungle]

oh…

[mental raft]

Field for Giovanni is good!

[timid oasis]

Your dedication is paying off

[mental raft]

Rather my luck was with me this time!

I would say

Luckily someone did that Steel team clear for me!
Without that I would be below 11k with Hard Argenta!

But

[mental raft]

Thankyou!

[stark zinc]

Help needed

[tight escarp]

Noland just loves to appear in my rallies

This time I have no guard chocalat in shop to help me

This is the worst battle rally run I have done so far

I just did Hard with Diantha, Arc Steven and Lodge Raihan

I didn’t feel like suffering from Nolands wrath

[mental raft]

Maybe try replacing SC Barry with a Grass type!

[stark zinc]

Yeah sure

Brendan dies in 2 turns

I'm securing that 10k anyways

[rancid zodiac]

Finally lucky stage after 3 runs in a row without it

on the 1200 points stage

[stark zinc]

Not bad for a fucked up Octo-Tech

Oh wait

THIS RUN IS CARRIED BY A LUCKY STAGE LOL

[rancid zodiac]

Hello there fellow a6 lucky stage enjoyer

still beter than the recent UBs. I used Cerena...

[fickle drum]

2x Hoenn upgrade, clapped VH Nemona with almost all full hp left

[quiet apex]

Man I forget how fat HoliWhitney is.

[astral path]

Mm… mhm… mhm… this is gonna suck

The worst being that stretch at the end. I’ll almost certainly use apple cup but I’d want to somehow use my level 8 stage on level 9. And somehow get all the way to stage 10 like that.

[quiet apex]

Decent run.

[simple frost]

anabel?

[rancid zodiac]

yes, I could beat it with one less upgrade (base mc+50 points one), but I was too lazy (Red dies too often from random crits), so I bought another mc upgrade

[simple frost]

no damage upgrades i guess?

[rancid zodiac]

50 points upgrade (stat drop)

[simple frost]

so 2 mc themes + 1x power?

[rancid zodiac]

Yes

I tried with Hilda, but she was too fragile for this, also fluid fortification didn't help either

[astral path]

https://tenor.com/view/9795s-spongebob-gif-22617692

[simple frost]

nice!

[astral path]

Why does this stage have so much hp? Am I missing something?

I know I don’t have power boost on rn since I don’t have any 2x multipliers but this is a lot

[simple frost]

my sheet says you need to drop their ATK and they have Sentry Entry x2

23k hp hrm

[astral path]

Is that physical or special defense I can never remember

[simple frost]

you gotta use special attacks

[tight escarp]

I’m going to make myself suffer again and waste another one of my free battle rally tickets I haven’t used

Um…

[karmic wraith]

i think this is my highest score with no bonus stage

started w ground boost, bought 3 electric boosts 2 of which were on sale and a crit boost

argenta exploded

[tight escarp]

Should I use Clemont or Volkner?

I feel like Volkner can do more but idk

Nah he can’t

[leaden wraith]

Clemont is your best bet

You can try to time Serena's sleep to sleep lock the enemies

[tight escarp]

Okay so

I might have to use Apple cup

[stark zinc]

[tight escarp]

Ok this is wack wdym Defog doesn’t clear rain

Decent run ig

Had amazing stages and multipliers but Argenta just had to ruin my streak

Bought 3 electric type upgrades all the way

[karmic wraith]

how would one use wind to blow the rain away

congrats you created a hurricane

[tight escarp]

The rain clouds will move to another area

[dull spire]

Apparently fog != cloud.

[timid hound]

It's time for everyone's favorite time of the week

May I get a good boost

[leaden wraith]

no

i stole crit pu from your r1 shop

[timid hound]

Dammit it didn't work

Nvm pivoted to Champion Upgrade like immediately

[leaden wraith]

call the theme weak and Ryu will appear in front of your bed tonight

[bronze aspen]

Who is this diva (derogatory)

Why does this stage have he10

[mental raft]

It's SS Lear BC!

[bronze aspen]

I will cry

The bonus is sprint field and the Stage has SEx2

It's not so bad were it not for blue using blizzard before sync tbh

[mental raft]

It's area 3 so buy another upgrade

I think you have to buy another upgrade later anyways

But try it once before that

[bronze aspen]

Buying another galar helped

[zealous plover]

Augh Palmer...have 3 gym leader boosts and support/strike bonuses

[mental raft]

Should be doable I guess!

[sudden hull]

you gotta flinch or stun it

[zealous plover]

It's the normal zone and the max moves that worry me

[mental raft]

Have you tried it yet?

Try it and see how close you can get

[timid hound]

I've never been happier to see Argenta

[simple frost]

Argenta gaming ❤️

[fossil bramble]

Argenta our beloved

[mental raft]

It's showdown Argenta vs Better Argenta

[copper nexus]

Crying

[simple frost]

what nightmare did you get? o.o;

[copper nexus]

I got darach final round with Johto bonus with as Morty 2x bonus when I still had ssdiantha so it was free!

[muted sparrow]

• Anabel:
• Thorton:
• Darach:
• Argenta:
• Palmer:
• Lucy:
• Leon:
• Nita:
• Noland:
• Giovani:
• Evelyn:
• MR:
• Nemona:

[simple frost]

oh for me i had Argenta with Strike/Support.

Dark upgrade.
So i went with NC Blue 3R, NC Marnie 3R and Arc Cynthia 3R

3 stacks of Dark Theme Boost + 4 stacks of EVA Power. 9.7k points (700 points used)

[fossil bramble]

Strike/Field Argenta this week for me

[viscid flicker]

very accurate

[timid hound]

The real tier list we NEED

[mental raft]

I think Giovanni is a bit less gimmicky than other new UBs!
Could it be because I used AS Steven against him? Probably yeah!

Wait I am wrong I guess

I debuff it's SpAtk, Speed, Def and SpDef

[simple frost]

he didnt really do a lot of damage

when i fought him

i had waaaay too many upgrades i guess

[timid hound]

Gio gimmick is linear and easily countered with a well time haze/snatch/topsy turvy/etc

Can't say the same for someone like, say, Nemo

[simple frost]

nemo is like

either be quick with 2 grass terrains or 2 psychic terrains, and do enough damage lol.

[sudden hull]

mfw accuracy drops

[timid hound]

Oh wait he has that?

I guess so

Just win every coinflip 5head

[simple frost]

just -1 acc

iirc

[sudden hull]

its every time the sides attack

[simple frost]

Ah. Easy kill then if you havepower boosts

[ionic sigil]

I don’t think even Apple Cup can save me here with Noland. No Guard Chocolat in shop either

This seed was also awful in general with triple Sprintfield stages

[simple frost]

apple cup actually has Guard Choco effect iirc

[ionic sigil]

I think only Endure when I looked

Which Fissure bypasses

I think the play is to drop to Hard Giovanni but will be waiting for Monday anyhow

The lack of Wide Guard I think is actually the bigger problem here since I could use Renegade Cynthia as the tank or Max Guard from SST Red to deal with Fissure

[leaden wraith]

the lack of support role on Noland stage leads to a drop down most of time

because no Wide Guard, yeah

[ionic sigil]

Hopefully DeNA starts dropping more units with Wide Guard or the equivalent in the future for this

The only options are like Lana, Roxanne and maybe SS Mina iirc

[leaden wraith]

there are some teams that are capable of brute forcing through without Wide Guard, but i don't think it's easy to replicate those clears in rally

so yeah if non support Noland stage appears, you should always move down to H unless Guard Chocolat

[ionic sigil]

Given my boosts as well, not happening.

I just hope Giovanni isn’t horrendous now

[simple frost]

just dont let him sync.

[leaden wraith]

Tech means you can bring Hazer at least

the bigger issue is WTZ control

[ionic sigil]

SST Red probably for that.

Ideally SST Red, SS Diantha and SS Lyra for points but wouldn’t be surprised if Akari is needed

[leaden wraith]

you can give it a try first

to see if you can clear him before he starts wiping your team out with maxed stats

that's why i suggested using a Hazer earlier

[ionic sigil]

I’ll experiment later. Worst case is probably like Akari, SST Red and a Haze unit

[ionic sigil]

Looks easily doable, so will do this on Monday. Now if only I could clear the standard Giovanni battle outside of Rally

[leaden wraith]

Glad to hear that a Hazer is not needed

[ionic sigil]

I’m more surprised he can be flinched

[mental raft]

Yes he can be flinched!

[serene spoke]

why is that?

[leaden wraith]

perhaps it was because Argenta is easy to clear with their eligible units

[serene spoke]

oh argenta is an easy fight?

every time i see someone talk about it thye are usually sad

(perhaps also cuz i couldnt do it)

tbf i cant do most UB

[leaden wraith]

for UB's standards, she is on the easier side

ofc the difficulty of each UB bases on one's current roster

it's natural for newcomers to not be able to beat UBs

[prisma gyro]

What does this mean

[serene spoke]

the reaction of most people to a given UB as their A10 VH

[prisma gyro]

Why cry at leon? Just rat his shit up

[fossil bramble]

Imagine if you didn't even get his roles at A10

[leaden wraith]

[prisma gyro]

I've actually never tried not ratting him

[fossil bramble]

This actually happened to me once but I didn't care I need Leon destroyed

[prisma gyro]

Priorities

[muted sparrow]

You should try it now, UB is available now

[fossil bramble]

Yes Leon that role is not saving you

[prisma gyro]

2 more times

Oh UB, not rally

[rapid notch]

Unova,champion or rival?

[mental raft]

Think about it like which category double bonus fits your seed the most!

[rapid notch]

Not available on r1 sadly

[mental raft]

For maximum points

[rapid notch]

Well since i can't see it,what do I do?

If i clear the stage I lose champion and rival

[mental raft]

Champion is better than others I think!

[serene spoke]

Poison boost :/

Tech sprint first stage hmm

Alr good it's tech the entire way

Nvm

[rapid notch]

What the hell is this stage

[heavy fjord]

Elaine event battle challenge, one of the worse in the pool

[rapid notch]

How do I even win

I have champion boost equipped

[sudden hull]

uh

cry until you kill the sides before they use haze

i guess

[rapid notch]

They use haze in the first sync cycle

Retire?

[sudden hull]

no

never retire

it doesnt count towards the weekly and it also gives you only 20%

[ionic sigil]

Flinch chaining them should be easy enough with SS Lyra

[digital otter]

For opp rebuff item, if I have both ground rebuff and steel rebuff on, does it apply the bonus for each?

[sudden hull]

No it checks if negative rebuff is applied

Doesnt stack with unique instances

[digital otter]

oh no.

so x2 or different type buffs wont do anything.

[sudden hull]

Correct

[serene spoke]

Doing hard would be infinite times better than that

[kindred seal]

So uh, how to win this? Sure Crit is a lose condition and that happens around 40%

[leaden wraith]

have you considered giving everyone Vigilance

and then you still have to think about rushing to 0% before Giovanni wrecks you

[kindred seal]

The part where he +12 all his stats is the beginning of the end

[leaden wraith]

he uses his TMs when his HP reaches certain thresholds

[kindred seal]

I don't think there's enough time to rush through all the checkpoints

[leaden wraith]

well you can time your sync right in order to sync nuke him before he uses the second TM

wait, how much HP he has left before he destroyed you?

[kindred seal]

35%

Or 40%. I just don't have the means to get those attack stats down in time

[copper nexus]

Who do you sync with?

I think your issue lies in using dark cerena when you’re not syncing

It’s way more important to debuff his stats with the multi debuff and penalty doubling of ncleaf than it is to deal 1% to the sides. Focus on center and debuffing using water shuriken for damage and debuffs and when it’s time to sync switch to dark mode

[kindred seal]

Serena, Leaf, Serena, then it's game over

[copper nexus]

Also do you never use hyper beam?

[kindred seal]

That's what I tried this time. It was working well until that sync came up and wiped me. 1k across the board

[copper nexus]

He doesn’t appear to have spdef debuffs

[kindred seal]

He had already +12 his stats

[copper nexus]

With how many fire upgrades you have if you’re properly debuffing him, ensuring rising tide isn’t going off, his sync should definitely not kill you

[leaden wraith]

i think you can try doing this

sync with NC Leaf first

wait nvm Leaf needs to preserve her sun

[copper nexus]

Is her penalty doubling only when suns up?

[leaden wraith]

nope, the doubling is tied to her B Move

you need WTZ to deal full damage to Giovanni

[copper nexus]

I see

[kindred seal]

This battle is evil hard

[leaden wraith]

i think replacing Arc Lance is a better option

[copper nexus]

Could we replace Lance it’s less of a bonus but you could use someone as a backup to a wtz for Gio

[leaden wraith]

yeah it seems he is holding the team back

[copper nexus]

Also I can’t double down enough on ensuring Gio doesn’t have rising tide up for his sync +12 is close to max rising tide and even with a a bigger bonus you’d still likely die to that sync. Do not use dark mode outside of cerena syncing and primarily focus on the water debuffs also for damage

[leaden wraith]

also Tech role allows you to bring a Hazer which is very helpful, or an on demand WTZ setter

[kindred seal]

The accuracy drops make things even more difficult than they already are

[leaden wraith]

the sides are going to be painful to deal with once the mid dies so you should be well prepared

[copper nexus]

If you use an acuity tank they’d prevent your Allie’s from being debuffed when he’s not using an aoe

[leaden wraith]

the accuracy debuffs come from the sides and they have a couple of aoe moves

[copper nexus]

I see

[leaden wraith]

SS Misty comes handy in this case because she can handle 2 gimmicks at once

[kindred seal]

I literally did 999,999 damage for the first time. But those HP stops prevented it from actually clearing the center

[copper nexus]

Well are you timing your syncs so that they are either after a certain threshold so they’re damage won’t get blocked/so you can get maximum value of damage from the sync

[kindred seal]

It's really too random to predict them precisely all the time

[copper nexus]

How do you mean, the hp thresholds at least for Gio are 80% and 40% ensuring you’re meeting these damage requirements before you sync isn’t that difficult to ensure

[kindred seal]

Each run is too different. I'll go over sync just to counter something or time something else and it gets really unpredictable very fast.

Especially with Serena from switching. Easy waste of a turn there depending on the situation. Or essential recovery or things like that which disrupt the typical move order

Okay, my game has frozen twice, so it's clearly a sign I've been at this too long. I'll try again tomorrow.

[copper nexus]

But you control Serena’s form switching, additionally the only sense of RNG that should be involved is whether you’re getting the proper debuffs from water shuriken. I’m not sure how you’re being burst down by Gio when a x4 fire bonus and based on your the first screenshot you sent you’re able to get Gio past the hp thresholds really fast assuming that was gios first sync

[kindred seal]

Sure Crit is an instant lose. And he puts that out at the last threshold. Usually when weather runs out

[leaden wraith]

also i don't think Serena disrupts the move order that much, even when changing to Dark form lands flinch on every enemy

because in that case you could tap quickly to sneak the next move in

[copper nexus]

I feel like as long as Gio doesn’t have Rising tide or brain sync up you shouldn’t be dying to even a sure crit sync

With a 4x bonus you can survive that with even 1 bonus if his sync isn’t setup

[leaden wraith]

also i think it's better to lower Dark rebuff on the sides, one for each so you can deal with them easier later

[leaden wraith]

yeah, you can even bring a Hazer like we suggested earlier

[kindred seal]

Misty is neat but didn't get me any farther

Because again, the sure crit sync at 30% is an instant lose, even at no stats raised. 1k+ across the board

[leaden wraith]

have you tried sync nuking from 40% to 0% after hazing the stat buffs? or by that time Giovanni is about to use Sure Crit All?

[kindred seal]

I got as far as 3% once probably because I pulled that off somehow. But there are too many variables that late in the battle to try it consistently

[leaden wraith]

if you are able to record your gameplay it will be very helpful for helpers to pinpoint your mistakes and give feedbacks

[quaint star]

This upgrade is busted
||"You're Champion. He's Champion! She's Champion! I'm Champion! Anyone I don't know who's Champion!?||

[simple frost]

delicious bulk upgrade!

[kindred seal]

Came in super clutch. Somehow managed to survive the sure crit sync

[mental raft]

Incredible

RNG save lives

[stark dawn]

That's a new item right?

[kindred seal]

Not sure. It's a real lol item if you're gonna run an Arc Suit for the whole thing

[mental raft]

I am sure I have seen this texture before too!

But idk if it was the same PU!

[stark dawn]

That's the generic type theme skill image

[mental raft]

Not that!
I mean similar green Power Up

[digital otter]

Eat it Leon you and your sides sleepers.

Why didn't I think of lucky cookies to counter that earlier...

Wide awake

[copper nexus]

It’s been there from beginning I believe

[stark dawn]

Really

[copper nexus]

Ye I remember Annie posting a screenshot of it and I didn’t know what buff it was a very long time ago

[slow dirge]

ok this rally did not want me to finish it lmao

it's given me some fucking brutal fights

round 8 was the kris fight that was legitimately oneshotting ss acerola with 2 buffs behind her

and now the finale?

VH Nemona, H Leon.

I do not have anything that works for either of these

I will have to drop to normal

[urban ledge]

Not even with Apple Cup?

[simple frost]

what's the role bonus?

[slow dirge]

strike/field

but it didn't matter bc I had nothing useful left

[simple frost]

ah rip.

[slow dirge]

the two arcs can't do shit on Leon and I had no terrain for nemona

[simple frost]

can just clear the terrain then

[slow dirge]

I didn't have anything to clear terrain with

[simple frost]

with misty or something .-.
But no role bonus. ;-;

[slow dirge]

yeah absolutely nothing on bonus

actually wait no I literally used mix red lmao

but double arc/mix red missed all the powerups I had

hell ss morty/arcyn/mixred would've been feasible but probably would've collapsed bc morty's electric weak

[sudden hull]

its not that bad if you stay boosted she doesnt hit nearly as hard without terrain

[oak jolt]

Nothing good in the final shop, and Nita was kinda brutal ,even if I spent 150 for extra stats I wasn't sure that I could have won against Nita, there aren't much units that can constantly AOE debuff speed and get rid of standstorm

[serene spoke]

What do I do

[simple frost]

no more poison tech or supports?:o?

[serene spoke]

I have lucy

But I wanna save her

Cuz like look at this

Poison is like the worst for me

I only have 4

Nvm the 2nd worst

[simple frost]

You can employ a poison support eggmon if you have any.... but that's worst case scenario.

[serene spoke]

Mhm

What should I do

[leaden wraith]

You don't have any Poison pair left beside Lucy?

I don't see Koga in your screenshots either

[serene spoke]

No I dont have koga

[serene spoke]

Yep

None that match the boost anyway

[leaden wraith]

Koga is literally free to obtain

You should finish every story content asap

[serene spoke]

Ok

But still

[simple frost]

you'll really need everyone you've got available tbh.

[formal gull]

That was quite a gamble of a last round

Vs Lucy btw

[tribal sorrel]

I got a 2,100 points lucky stage, but the final battle was Nemona, so I had to spend 150 points on stuff lol. I could have gotten closer to 12k points earned if I got a better luck on the lucky stage, and if Darach was the final lol. The lucky stage I got was Field/Sprint lol

I think this is my new record with a lucky stage nevertheless

[fluid mountain]

All areas done on VH.
Just 1 BC, plus 1 PSS Champion, and the rest CS. Masked Royal UB at last area, which used two ice-weak pairs, and luckily beat him before sync with low spending.

Items used:

• 1 Steel Upgrade (start)
• 1 Champion Upgrade (100, from A2)
• 1 Opp. Attack Down PU (50, for A10)

Battles per area:
1: Cynthia Dragon-W CS
2: NC Leaf Water-W PSS
3: Alder Rock-W CS
4: Janine BC (from Iono event)
5: Agatha Dark-W CS
6: Hau Bug-W CS
7: Aaron Electric-W CS
8: Glacia Fighting-W CS
9: Cynthia Poison-W CS
10: Masked Royal UB

[serene spoke]

Even then I can't seem to beat the VH

[simple frost]

whose your A10 fight?

[serene spoke]

tech field'

i have only just reached A3

[leaden wraith]

What team are you using

[serene spoke]

Wait does the Battle rally reset today?

[timid oasis]

Yuppp

So if you haven't beat it, you should hurry up

[serene spoke]

Alr

I also have to do the CS :/

[timid oasis]

Good luck for it XD

[serene spoke]

What should I do first

[timid oasis]

Uhhh better ask in #1009554906568462476 I think

[normal python]

Hmmmm, rough really for me. I have Nemona as my VH stage and support/sprint as my bonus roles. I still have NC Rosa retained, but since I have Sinnoh boost, I need SSA Cynthia

I wonder if I should say fuck it and do Hard Lucy instead with full bonus

[leaden wraith]

If you don't have caked SS Lana it's a good idea to drop to H

[normal python]

I don't even have SS Lana

If you're wondering what's in my shop

[leaden wraith]

Not having SS Lana is enough reason to avoid Nemona UB

[normal python]

Is that so?

Ok

[sweet mango]

Should i go with elec or ice

[normal python]

Electric definitely

[sweet mango]

Nc blue is strike/support and a10 is tech sprint

[normal python]

Well, electric has overall better units

[normal python]

Also, buy that Crit: Power Up

That's hella juicy

[sweet mango]

i'm on a7

a8*

i have 3

[leaden wraith]

Tech Sprint on A10 allows Irida, NC Red and Fall Shauntal who have gimmick checks for various UBs to be usable

[normal python]

But if you do get Masked Royal as your VH, you have electric as your backup

[leaden wraith]

Since you are already late into the progress i think focusing on UB is the priority

[normal python]

But wait, ice has SS N anyways to counter Masked Royal

To counter all of his gimmicks in general

[sweet mango]

ice ice baby

i find that i do comfort clears at the expense of role bonuses and I still get 10k+

[normal python]

Should I buy Ultra Jelly along with my current upgrades?

I sorta pinged you out of desperation

[leaden wraith]

Even without terrain setter who must have multiple terrain settings? Absolutely a waste of points

[normal python]

Alright then

And also, among the sprint/support units, who deals the most damage?

[sweet mango]

tech/sprint a8 vs rock zone raihan and I have 2.0x archer vs 1.5x ss lyra

do i wanna suffer

[normal python]

Ok, I'm destroying Lucy withonly 3x support/sprint units

I'm pretty tempted to do Nemona with Bianca

[simple frost]

Iirc you can flinch them to kingdomcome. They dont seem to have Resilience. Just be careful with them setting up rock zone

Oh and they have wise entry x2

[normal python]

I do have SS Acerola

[leaden wraith]

You don't have to because Lyra trivializes the stage

[leaden wraith]

I don't guarantee she will work even with jelly

[normal python]

Even with Ultra Jelly and another Sinnoh boost?

[sweet mango]

but the 0.5x bonus /hj

they're evasive and bite flinch chance is 60%

cradily last one alive and archer misses bite twice

[leaden wraith]

I didn't say it's impossible

It's up to you to bite the bullet. Seeing is believing, after all

[normal python]

Lucy didn't even deal 10% of my team's HP

[leaden wraith]

Tell me something new

[normal python]

Alright, I'll try Nemona first

Ok, Nemona is hella weak

For now

[sweet mango]

man, this is worse than hse. I have ss wally's fairy zone, ss may's accuracy +1 and phys damage and 60% flinch from archer

sides are evasive

[normal python]

Well, that was closer than I expected it to be

[half bone]

anyone got advice for taking on Masked Royal's fight?

never did it before

[normal python]

And seen

Final results

[normal python]

Need constant status condition and need to debuff stats equal to Venom Drench

[half bone]

It's Sprint/Support bonuses.

[normal python]

The fight is attuned for Oleana and Geeta

[half bone]

Well, I don't have Oleana and Geeta can't fit the role.

lower difficulty is Anabell.

SHould I just go lower dificulty?

[normal python]

Anabel Hard?

[half bone]

Yeah.

[normal python]

Do you have SS Kris?

[half bone]

Yeah.

[normal python]

Caked?

[half bone]

No but I have plenty of resources for that.

[normal python]

Well, SS Kris is one of the units made for Anabel

And you need strong debuffers too

[half bone]

NC Blue work?

[normal python]

He can

[half bone]

I'll use Rei as the boost unit (fighting boost)

[normal python]

He can work too since he can debuff defenses too

So you have 3 sources of constant debuffing

[half bone]

I'll go for that.

[sweet mango]

a10 nita vh

with less than an hour left

[half bone]

8300 points, even with a hard finish.

I think that's pretty alright.

[sweet mango]

Hey, i beat nita with 3 ice, 4 crit up

[serene spoke]

I don't think I can do a good rally so should I just do all easy?

So I can get those few points and 300 gems

[normal python]

Exactly 10k

[dusk eagle]

You're gonna have to go fast. Reset in 20 minutes

[serene spoke]

Yea I will

[dusk eagle]

Welcome to my world of doing rally last second half the time 😅

[serene spoke]

WAIT MY RALLY DIDNT RESET

Let's goo

Well rip 300 gems tho

I even got a lucky area :D

[fossil bramble]

DARACH MY BELOVED (?)

Maybe I should hold off? I'm planning to pull for Adaman

[mental raft]

Trial Giver

And Tech Support 4 way seed!

[mental raft]

Yeah hold it!

[fossil bramble]

I got Gym Leader

[serene spoke]

Bruh i accidentally did this while doing the rally

[fossil bramble]

So I can Larry + Adaman + someone

[serene spoke]

Giovanni is easy right

[mental raft]

Not easy, but doable!

Easier than MR too!

[serene spoke]

Hmmm

But I don't have Dmg field

[mental raft]

You need a WTZ!

Works fine

[serene spoke]

Ok

Might just get apple cip

[mental raft]

Apple Cup alone probably won't be enough against new UBs!

[sudden hull]

its a tech bonus

[mental raft]

[sudden hull]

giovanni should absolutely be doable

hard mode is a massive drop in difficulty compared to vh for a10 and tech allows you to use haze

[serene spoke]

Hmm but I need wtz

[mental raft]

Many tech has wtz!

[serene spoke]

I don't have a wtz with haze

Ima just do easy

I don't have enough brain

[urban ledge]

Oh eww

[tender hollow]

uhhhhh now what

[urban ledge]

Go easy I guess lol

[tender hollow]

is that the best way to do it at this point

or is it worth replacing a 2.0 with 1.5

[fossil bramble]

Let's see...

[tender hollow]

do have SS Hau but only 1/5

[fossil bramble]

Leon needs status condition. Bonus if ET is present for anti sleep?

[tender hollow]

even then that wont status

[fossil bramble]

Nita needs non-sandstorm weather, and agressive -spd debuff

What's the shop look like

[fossil bramble]

What's the one on the right

[tender hollow]

speed jelly

[fossil bramble]

Also what bonus is that

[tender hollow]

Sinnoh

was kinda banking on Palmer to show cuz Rei and Riley

and the only other 2.0s I have are SS Gladion and Lysandre

[fossil bramble]

Oh. Also I meant on the upper right. The one above the jelly,

[tender hollow]

ah

rebuff

[fossil bramble]

Oh huh

[tender hollow]

100% power up if opponent has lowered rebuff

which wont help cuz none of my 2.0s can rebuff

[fossil bramble]

For the meantime, try to see where the full bonus takes you on hard

Full bonus on hard = 750
Full bonus on VH + = 700

[tender hollow]

not far

no one can tank or deal with sand

yep

Gladion and Riley are dead by first sync

and sync takes out Rei
