Battle Rally

[wary cove]

why does everyone always ask that

like

is it that unreasonable for someone to care more about just clearing it and not hating themselves doing so on a very limited roster not to be going for 10k points every week

for most of the fights i only had one of those active while maximizing multipliers

usually i try to get one to 10 rather than split them up but

[normal python]

Sorry

[wary cove]

once i finish saving for blue maybe ill put 'aims for br ~7k' in my name for the future lol

[timid hound]

I want to see your numbers

Please send screenshots

[wary cove]

in what sense?

i have 7 field units

3 supp w/ field exr, 5a lillie, and 3 dc units

and of those, only lillie and rika are above 1/5

hilariously i think this is a pb

thanks to the combination of lucky, triple multiplier on supp/sprint, and arc steven for near-triple on field/supp

[mental raft]

Even with so much spent it's a great score!

Considering your previous scores

Great job

[wary cove]

im kinda shocked it happened on a field heavy week lmao

but now that i have a few more role cakes (and units with roles to cake in the first place) its definitely getting easier

[mental raft]

Yeah me too!
In a field heavy seed I would have scored the same!

[wary cove]

are 5a lillie and greta the only sprint/field units in the game atm btw?

[mental raft]

Clavel

[wary cove]

ahhh

ok

i was gonna say

if theres only 2 i feel like rolling lucky on sprint/field is just. absolute worst luck lmao

not that 3 when 2/3 are pf is much better but

[timid hound]

Just wanna see how much the damage per screenshot is with 16 boosts

[wary cove]

ohhh

[timid hound]

Not even apple cup is that high

[wary cove]

not that much tbh

[timid hound]

I wanna see SC Steven tackle for 999k damage!

[wary cove]

team was archie (for field effect up on entry), arc cyn, and rika; first sync with rika to get ground zone up, set sandstorm just before second sync, second sync cleared sides, bmove after with +2 rebuff took darach from 42k to 0

so like

good damage

but

not nuked from orbit lmao

i did easy the other week and accidentally nuked from orbit

oop my b, hard not easy

[mental raft]

Wdym by orbit?

[wary cove]

"nuked from orbit" is like, not just attacking, not just winning, but super extreme overkill

like first hit 999k

[fluid mountain]

All areas done on VH.

One of my best runs so far! Perfect no-repeat-combo bonus route and amazing shop, and only 2 BCs. Palmer is still a pretty bulky UB, and forced me to buy a fifth opp stats down PU to beat him. Oh the perks of support/field

Items used:

• 1 Fire Upgrade (starting)
• 5 Opp. Stats Down PU (200. From A1, A2, A4 (at half price), A7 (also at half price) and A10
• 1 Champion Upgrade (100. From A6)

Battles per area:
1: Wallace Poison-W CS
2: Cynthia Dragon-W CS
3: Wikstrom Fire-W CS
4: Olivia Water-W CS
5: Lance Dragon-W Kanto CS
6: Leon BC
7: Barry BC (from Palmer and Argenta event)
8: Aaron Fire-W CS
9: Sidney Flying-W CS
10: Palmer UB

[mental raft]

Okay I see!

[wary cove]

ooh, who did you have left/eligible? im surprised by mix leaf given the fire mult but i presume you used something like dc tierno or mix blue earlier?

[fluid mountain]

All my fire field (cue F-Zero ) are 1/5. Not enough damage to beat him cause no sync multipliers

[wary cove]

ahh gotcha

ggs on solving that fight, especially down a mult!!

[fluid mountain]

Thanks. Mayyyybe I would beat him with SS Morty and NY Wallace without spending an extra stats down, but I would need a good rng on Wallace's B move SMUN increase

[fossil bramble]

Uhm, ewww.

[mental raft]

Not so great!

[mental raft]

Bug!

[mental raft]

[normal python]

I got champion upgrade

[fossil bramble]

This is an okay A10 but I need to change Bug lol

[normal python]

With A1 being tech/support

[fluid mountain]

Psychic Upgrade. It's SS Steven time!
Also heck yeah! opp stats down PU again in shop at the start!

[simple frost]

time to check my seed

[simple frost]

INTERESTING.

[simple frost]

haaah. Apple Cup'd

[timid hound]

Illusion of choice

[simple frost]

this is the 2nd anabel in a row now.

:<

ah nvm

last week was lucy

the week before that was anabel

its a rough week sigh

[crisp token]

Anabelch

[mental raft]

As expected!

[timid hound]

A good score still

[fossil bramble]

Who is A10

[pearl lion]

woohoo finally that a extra sync in

so many dodges to hit 1.7m

all exr

used cs2 so idk how much more sp3 wouldve given me bc im out of cookies

chase is such a great unit for dc holy shit

finally got him to 2/5 exr and im def noticing the difference already

[muted sparrow]

wrong one

[pearl lion]

whoops

[muted sparrow]

[mental raft]

VH Evelyn!
I did hard Palmer!

[timid oasis]

Damn this is so sad

[urban ledge]

Oh that is a disgusting final round with Tech field and Flying upgrade

[fathom yacht]

Why did you post this here

[mental raft]

[plush anchor]

My dilemma everytime
Who do I dispose of

[mental raft]

Riley and Lysandre

It's hard to decide between other four

[leaden wraith]

so beautiful

[mental raft]

A10 could use all the remaining ones!

[leaden wraith]

Staircase seed tho

[sudden hull]

tbf tech is probably one of the best roles for that

[fair ember]

Theres no water Strike Techs that are good for Anabel except Lysandre idk

So you alrdy lose two x2 bonuses by putting an effective striker and a tank support

What cud work would be NC red Irida but still thts just one bonus

[sudden hull]

i say that as in you arent completely screwed

assuming you have the strong units for anabel to begin with

[tight escarp]

Could’ve been worse 😮‍💨

[tight escarp]

And I have 0 flying techs now

Yipee

[void sleet]

How you even do this stage???

It cleanses every time the trainer uses a move

[dry ice]

you have to constantly apply a poison status effect. it was designed with Geeta in mind.

[void sleet]

Yup fk me, apple cup it is

Any idea this stage is for who?

[tight escarp]

Well well well, good thing I saved SS Lusamine

Bad thing is

I have no one to change electric terrain

Should I buy the guard chocolate from the shop?

[granite river]

if you don't override e terrain you can't win

even with guard chocolate

she has strong damage reductions and healing when e terrain is up

[tight escarp]

I see

Might have to drop down to H stage then

[sudden hull]

noland is a joke with choco

but yeah just a bad set of ubs

[tight escarp]

I consider this very good since usually I have to drop down to H stage at least once between A1-A9 but this time I didn’t

If only I had a field unit to override the E terrain I could’ve gotten a higher score

[fair ember]

All ground types because its just speed down

The poison should be designed based on Rika's team status immunity on ground zone

Or , since Lucy came first, that Rika was designed based on that

[urban ledge]

Phew thankfully I got Lucy for A10 and could full score it with Tech Fields and managed to just get a little bit over 10k points lol

Eat THAT triple sprint field

Also getting main character and opponent stat down power up towards the end helped a lot

[leaden wraith]

Hey we got the same seed pattern with upgrades lineup

The difference is that i have Flying, not Water

[karmic wraith]

time to pull out my secret weapon...

lodge gladion

[urban ledge]

LMAO

[karmic wraith]

don’t doubt the go(lb)at…

(i cant believe this worked)

[simple frost]

haze gaming 😮

[sudden hull]

impressive

[normal python]

Damn son

[simple frost]

Cool.

SPD buff is nice i suppose

[normal python]

Hmmmm, A10 VH is Thorton

I have NC Red saved up for this, but I'm not sure who to bring next because my strike/tech units are special

[normal python]

Do I spend 250 more points on upgrades?

[leaden wraith]

you can use the point chart to calculate your gain

[normal python]

Well, my units are kinda oscillating

I'm switching between AS Leon and NC Red

Do I keep SS May for the speed buff and physical fire damage?

[leaden wraith]

you need physical damage for the last 60% HP phase

so do consider wisely

[normal python]

Yeah, I'll keep SS May and I also kinda need a defense debuffer too

But what upgrades do I buy besides the 3 main ones I have? Supereffective Popcorn and/or MPizza?

[leaden wraith]

what team are you using

as well as your boosts

[normal python]

x1 MC, x1 Champion x1 Speed: Power Up

Team is kinda complicated

I might keep SS May for the reasons I said

And here are my bonus units

[leaden wraith]

the lack of tank is concerning

[normal python]

Well, I did use NC Blue earlier

Which was probably a mistake

I can probably take advantage of MPizza and have near infinite Protect with NC Red

[leaden wraith]

i don't think it's possible unless you have a support with either strike or tech exr available

[normal python]

Well, the last resort would be to use AS Steven

@leaden wraith What do you think?

[leaden wraith]

it's either using Arc Steven or moving to H

[normal python]

Anabel? Maybe not

[normal python]

I'll take it

[timid hound]

Hell yeah

[simple frost]

?

[uneven field]

Rally Complete :D

strike/support A10 is always great

[mental raft]

Is it Sinnoh Theme boost?

[rancid zodiac]

Ig no nemona for me

3x lucky stage sound and no LS during the whole run

[leaden wraith]

yeah that's unfortunate

[rancid zodiac]

It's not that bad without lucky stage

[prisma gyro]

Does circle count as field to deactivate gio's passive?

[muted sparrow]

No sadly

[prisma gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-mace-windu-you-are-on-this-council-but-we-do-not-grant-you-the-rank-of-master-gif-2748715303523393717

Oh because circle only affects your side isn't it

[leaden wraith]

Correct

Only field effects that affect both sides or enemies' side shut down damage reduction passives

[prisma gyro]

Is it the same for darach too?

[leaden wraith]

Correct

[ebon sorrel]

Finaly managed to reach the 11K on rally

Also is it just me or did the rally got significantly harder than last week?

[mental raft]

It's just you!
The Rally is harder since 5th Anni after they added new BCs and UBs

[pearl lion]

gio is just a miserable ub to get

[mental raft]

With Field and Impervious he can be tackled easily, but others are much more gimmicky!

[quiet apex]

Meh

[fossil bramble]

So I was confused as to why I find this harder than necessary

This is how I find out Bede is not a Rival 👁️ 👄 👁️

As I complain of course I got it lol

[wary kayak]

They keep saying Calem is the rival, over and over, to the point where he is the only male protag in the Lodge because Rivals are allowed to be Lodge guests, and... no version of him has the Rival theme. It's caught me out at least once.

[fluid mountain]

A lucky area with 2 units x2.0. Neat!

[timid oasis]

Damn very hard Anabel, that's something I could never touch
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉

[fossil bramble]

Someday you'll get the pairs for her

[mental raft]

Arc Suit Wallace and Milotic!

[timid oasis]

Yes pls, poor Wallace doesn't have Champion tag

[brisk zealot]

Clemont tanking everything and instantly getting back to full

[slow dirge]

kick up rally
e4 bonus
pattern is octosprint, with sprint-tech finale

this game hates me

[mental raft]

Larry

(I hope he is E4 and not Gym Leader )

[slow dirge]

he is but also I'm bouncing theme asap

especially with how awkward larry is in the ubs

[mental raft]

Yeah that's better than relying on Larry

[fluid mountain]

All areas done on VH.
A mostly support route a bit bumpy with 3 BCs and a SBE, but also I got a lucky area! Darach UB as A10 with an Ultra Jelly spent to deal with his Heat Wave and also beat him before NC Silver's sandstorm ends.

Items used:

• 1 Psychic Upgrade (start)
• 2 Opp. Stats Down PU (100, from A1 and A2)
• 1 Ultra Jelly (100, for A10)

Battles per area:
1: Drake Rock-W CS
2: LUCKY AREA
3: NC Bianca SBE
4: Glacia BC (from Poké War Games SC event)
5: Bruno Grass-W Johto CS
6: Raihan BC (from Gordie, Melony and Victor solo event)
7: SS Blue BC (from Nemona event)
8: Karen Bug-W CS
9: Bertha Grass-W CS
10: Darach UB

[dusk eagle]

Need help to beat Palmer

Anything like NC Bianca or Blue that could either do on type damage or give rebuff were all used

And idk if Morty Mix Blue and something can beat him

And Leon id rather not use cuz less points

[mental raft]

How close are you to beat him?

That Ultra jelly will give you 3x buffs to stats

It's a mini Apple Cup

Same team is sufficient with Ultra Jelly I think!

If it doesn't work then you can replace AS Steven with Geeta for more damage!
But I don't think that would be necessary

[dusk eagle]

Was kinda hoping I could get the 1.7x from Steven and 2.0 from morty

Things didn't go well. I got Palmer to 80% with Red

But improper gear

[mental raft]

Try Ultra Jelly once

[dusk eagle]

K

[dusk eagle]

Absolute failure. Didn't even take him to half

If only I didn't use blue

[mental raft]

Huh!
It's weird. Red should have nuked Palmer before his Max Move!

Is SST Red grided for tech nuke?

What are those three theme boosts?

[dusk eagle]

Hoenn Galar Kalos

[mental raft]

So that gives a 4x bonus!
It should be doable!
Also you can try to replicate it just use Morty instead of blue!
https://youtu.be/j41ocrYTvjc?si=WQMk-FKoM9KnVnWe

With the 4x boost it shouldn't be a problem!

Your AS Steven is also 3/5

And it should work even without the Head Start 1 Lucky Skill

[dusk eagle]

Red wouldn't cut it. Had to go a different direction

[slow dirge]

why can I not get a good fucking upgrade

I finally get to switch off of e4

...it's fucking johto or villain

[mental raft]

Oh Gloria being on type works better!
I thought SSTR would be enough but I was wrong!

[dusk eagle]

What Gloria has that I think makes the most difference is the support ex role so she doesn't need someone to sync first for that boost

So she got to deal a couple heavy on type shots with two syncs

Although to take the ko I needed a refresh on Stevens tm

[wary cove]

fuck this

[timid hound]

It's Apple Cup time

[simple frost]

the cup of apples

[mental raft]

Game wants me to continue the Steel theme!

Let's see what seed does it bring this week out of the four!

[mental raft]

NC Cheren

[fossil bramble]

I can afford Lana here even with no bonus

[sweet mango]

Didn’t do last week rally until 12:06 am today and a10 was palmer boss with tech sprint and got 10k points. Had 4 unova and 4 opp stat down with rei nc rosa and nc hop. Finished rally at 12:57 am and did 3k points in csmm to get tech coin

[simple frost]

shoot

dark upgrade

hrm

tech/sup too. well that's kinda rough

[fossil bramble]

NC Calem 📈 (??????????)

[simple frost]

it could still hit tech-oriented seed

[fossil bramble]

Oh wait I forgot you do not use scope

[timid oasis]

Damn, nice bonus

[mental raft]

Yo fuck!

[timid hound]

Lucy is good though

Easy win

[mental raft]

I will try without a steel type first

[timid hound]

Idk about that one but good luck

[mental raft]

Thanks

[mental raft]

I was saying that in excitement and not cursing it!

Lol

It sounds lame I know

[timid hound]

[fossil bramble]

[mental raft]

Had to use the best tank Wikstrom and he did the job!

[tight escarp]

Will do this when I wake up

[daring raptor]

is there a tierlist of units that's worth saving until stage 10? I only know arc steven and nc blue are on the top

[leaden wraith]

that vastly depends on your roster, investments and A10's featured roles

[timid hound]

There's no such tier list but the general rule of thumb is to look at the roles in A10 and save good units with matching roles

[daring raptor]

that's true no point bringing nc blue if A10 has the comb. of tech/sprint/field

[timid hound]

For example: If I have A10 Support Tech and A3 Support Tech, I might be inclined to save my Rolex NC Serena for A10

[rancid zodiac]

Hmm, I guess SST Red for a10 and SS Lyra for a8, I really don't like seeds with one role in most stages

Sprint/tech eliminates Adaman from Argenta stage

[heavy fjord]

Yeah, same

I also got this seed this week so ?

[mental raft]

Summary of this week!

Oh I just used 4 Steel pairs!
This seed is good for carrying sync pairs to multiple Areas!

[timid oasis]

[timid hound]

If you look at it from afar, it forms a S

[mental raft]

Yep lol

[simple frost]

@timid hound 2 discounted Opp Stat Down Power

5 in total :>

destroyed Giovanni before he could hit my team

[rancid zodiac]

I'm doomed no ls as always

[timid hound]

Raze it all to the ground!

[simple frost]

lucky stage too

so that's nice

[simple frost]

i'm uploading the replay so wait a bit 😄

[simple frost]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Z0UdhFQ4Ldk here ya go lol

[fossil bramble]

Okay that run is funny lol

[timid hound]

Crazy DMG

[simple frost]

funny enough

the last time i had Giovanni, it was Arc Cynthia as well lol

[copper nexus]

Is there a gimmick I’m not checking this shouldn’t be that hard when I have x3 MC and x1 electric

[leaden wraith]

Who is the middle opponent

[heavy fjord]

Looks like Evelyn?

[copper nexus]

Ye

[leaden wraith]

She has Fluid Fortification

So the issue might be not having enough debuffs

[copper nexus]

I have no way to rid her of spdef and spd debuffs

So hmm

It’s strike sprint. Bonus

[simple frost]

what's your upgrades/shop looking like?

and whose your Hard fight?

[copper nexus]

My hard fights Mr

[simple frost]

Hum. Any chance you have access to Geeta? o.o;

[copper nexus]

Nope

[simple frost]

honestly, a damage upgrade would've been really nice

MR would need debuffs as well, but you'd have the bulk to take on MR hrm.

[copper nexus]

I feel like the last thing I’m suffering in is bulk lel

[leaden wraith]

Oops only 1/5 Chase

Would be really helpful if he had access to Vigilance on grid and Mind Games lucky skill

[copper nexus]

I got mind games on Karen thankfully

Like this damage feels low for the boosts that I am getting

I got it but I was seeing fluid fortification prock even when they had no buffs (on the sides) how odd

[heavy fjord]

You need to have several debuffs on the enemy to deactivate fluid fortification entirely iirc

[leaden wraith]

It won't show up when the net buffs are -10 or lower i think

[quiet tiger]

This run is cracked holy

[copper nexus]

I see

[tight escarp]

does anyone have some type of template where i can keep track of my rally stages and what not

[simple frost]

like mine? o.o

[simple frost]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yrpszZUbC9hGrlIoqcQon7hJqWVKLR-uEsSraZF-Rro/edit?gid=452026996#gid=452026996 here's mine. v7 lite is the one you want

otherwise, you can copy the entire spreadsheet, use that one o-o/ (v7 full)

[urban ledge]

alright let’s see what I got

Support sprint A10 is gonna be the battle that never ends but Stat down power up is always welcome

[tight escarp]

Ty!! It’ll take me some time to understand it a bit but thanks

[simple frost]

typically just duplicate the sheet

and then make your keeping track of your rally stages

[prisma gyro]

unova upgrade
a10 sprint field

champion upgrade

[leaden wraith]

rotational seed

[urban ledge]

Eugh Nita

Tried a few times with NC Rosa, SSAynthia, and Arc Steven but still too annoying

[leaden wraith]

You don't have a speed debuffer, that's why

[urban ledge]

Yeah

[fossil bramble]

||If you have SS Mina + SS Kris you could troll Nita with and infinite AoE Protect||

[urban ledge]

If i drank the apple cup I wouldn’t have. A problem with that team lol

[fossil bramble]

But then full bonus!

||I just suggested because I legit did that ||

[prisma gyro]

18 role bonus is not bad, despite the rotational seed

[timid oasis]

Good score when there's 2 field sprint stage especially on stage 10

[tight escarp]

Uhh what’s the gimmick for this stage

[mental raft]

It's a projected score I think!

[urban ledge]

Worse score than what I would have gotten if I went down to Lucy but goddammit I’m killing Nita

[tight escarp]

Ok just saw the gimmicks, realistically this should work but no 😭

[mental raft]

That's NY Wallace and Clair BC but idk what they do!

[tight escarp]

Ughh this is annoying

I MIGHT have to drop down to H

[timid oasis]

Need to replace terrain if I remember correctly

[tight escarp]

This is so sad

[bronze aspen]

It's unfortunate all of our sprint fields are physical

It's a harrowing experience when the stage wisex2

[tight escarp]

I might have to use someone that doesn’t have a bonus

[fair ember]

A refreshing team combination

Second strike sprint combo and i only have 3 strike sprints

[prisma gyro]

Oh that's just the plan. I haven't done it yet

I always unlock rally early in the week to plan and do it later towards the weekenx

[tight escarp]

wait maybe this will work

Okay nvm

[ebon sorrel]

Roigh

[mental raft]

It's not possible, MR needs Status Condition and debuffs

[tight escarp]

This is the WORST battle rally I’ve done so far

[mental raft]

Sometimes the seed is not in our favour

[heavy fjord]

sometimes the game just hates you

[tight escarp]

Real

[ebon sorrel]

Hi nolan

Bye Nolan

[ebon sorrel]

11K again and broke my last week record? I guess i just became based like that.

[fair ember]

This was Hard difficulty but everyone still died

[sharp haven]

My first 12k

[quiet apex]

Kiss my ass Morty.

[rancid zodiac]

Maybe somehow I could beat giovanni for ~150 more points but it wasn't worth my time

[quiet apex]

Ehhhh. Not the worst for a heavy Sprint run

[stark zinc]

But do you have Guard Chocolat?

[fossil bramble]

I may not actually need it

We'll see if that holds up or it will be the famous last words

After this round, I actually got SE power up lol

But ye I got Strike/Tech A10 with Noland

I can use SSR Cynthia to tank Fissure

And NC Red can tank one EQ

[serene spoke]

Bruh

[urban ledge]

Looks like a field day

[simple frost]

o-o

[serene spoke]

;-;

[fickle drum]

Of course it’s the sprintfield stage

[simple frost]

no Anni 24 Lilie?

[fossil bramble]

[mental raft]

Noland finally landed!

[fossil bramble]

Yesland

[fossil bramble]

https://youtube.com/shorts/ChchfKKnGvM?feature=share

[karmic wraith]

third time

have never gotten alola bonus which is STRICTLY BETTER than trial giver but got trial giver 3 times thanks game

[obsidian sentinel]

Wow Classic Blue is doing zero damage to Darach

In weather I should add if anyone asks

[leaden wraith]

what comp are you using to clear

[simple frost]

what upgrades even? o.o

[copper nexus]

Aurochs got it done I think

[simple frost]

ou

[obsidian sentinel]

2/5 CBlue

Ended up offtyping instead

[simple frost]

strike/sup or somethin?

[obsidian sentinel]

Yes!

Good guess

[zealous plover]

I got Nemona for my area 10 and I probably can't fit my 2x boost because I only have 4x rock boost :(

who should I have as my rock type?

[leaden wraith]

Gordie is a good counter because he has rebuffs to shut down Nemona's damage reduction passive

She cleanses rebuffs of the whole team after every sync move

So it's a good idea to save Blue's first sync for after Nemona's first sync to reapply rebuffs

[zealous plover]

Gotcha!

[void sleet]

Another week of apple cup ending my suffering

[muted sparrow]

[simple frost]

noice

[uneven field]

Rally time :D

kalos upgrade was near useless lol

also forgot to bold irida, bianca, and iono but theyre all EXR

[timid oasis]

Nice role combo for stage 10 XD

[uneven field]

i run that team everytime i get tech strike lol, i just have to pray that SC irida's evasion (besides UBs) works out while cheren nukes everything 💀

its super gauge heavy but irida guaranteed flinches, 50% FMN and attack down make it not too bad

[mental raft]

I miss those days when I used to use a sync pair in many consecutive areas!
Like you did with Elaine now

[mental raft]

I work with that team too, but never against UBs

And I wonder how you beat Thorton with just two PUs, cuz Thorton has increased Def and SpDef

The first triple accel could have easily killed the first tank!

[uneven field]

it was hard thorton not VH lol, we also had some damage multipliers (interference power up and spatk power up) that helped clear, as well as ryuki shell trapping a lot of the physical attacks, and having first aid 9 + burning helps with his tanking a lot lol

very hard was leon 💀

[uneven field]

yeah its been a while since i was able to do this lol, i dont have nearly enough techs with exrs for this seed

[mental raft]

Got it, it was hard!

[rapid notch]

Double countdown gello is funny

[twilit chasm]

Back with my favorite feature and the game treats me nice

[simple frost]

cool

[viscid flicker]

A10 is strike/sprint
only have Rei and Lana
Nita
instant apple cup

[blissful hawk]

how can i beat this?

[copper nexus]

What are your bonuses?

[blissful hawk]

every time she use sledge wave. All of my units got my position.

[leaden wraith]

Lucy forces you to give everyone Antitoxin lucky skill

[leaden wraith]

in rally those matter a lot so please provide us the info

[copper nexus]

And don’t forget it’s perfectly valid to do the hard fight as well don’t feel forced to do very hard

[leaden wraith]

that's a lot of unnecessary boosts

the strat is replacing Marley for an Unova support

[blissful hawk]

the only I can bring is Marley. Just to remove the poison

[leaden wraith]

so the team gets a boost to their stats

no you don't need her

just give everyone Antitoxin lucky skill

[copper nexus]

That ice boost only applies to ice moves unlike main bonuses where they boost all of your stats for a theme/type

[leaden wraith]

Richu it's not Ice move power up

it's Ice type theme upgrade

you can tell by looking at the shape

[copper nexus]

Ohh it looked square to me oops

[leaden wraith]

if so Clemont can be replaced with an Ice type to make Lucy easier

[copper nexus]

You could run ghetsus and then skyla for gauge

[leaden wraith]

sounds like a great idea

[copper nexus]

You will want to grid Courtney for tm mpr

[blissful hawk]

ok yrah but even its ice type for bonus how about ground type?

[leaden wraith]

Courtney is the mainstay

Richu suggested a team consisted of her, Ghetsis and Skyla earlier

[blissful hawk]

But what about the poison that I have to deal with?

[copper nexus]

The antitoxin lucky skill from makes it so that Lucy cannot inflict poison on anyone equipped with it

[blissful hawk]

But that will remove the CS2 for Courtney if I’ll give the skill to her

[copper nexus]

Not being poisoned is way more important than doing more damage

[leaden wraith]

there are 3 lucky skill slots anyway

[mental raft]

Still Antitoxin is preferred, how will you use CS2 if Courtney will die with poison

[leaden wraith]

you can change between them anytime at your will

[serene spoke]

Easy only run but I was really only going for the gems

[timid hound]

That is completely ok

Hm, you don’t get jewels for retiring before A10?

I never thought about it

[heavy fjord]

the mission is to complete a battle rally, retiring is not completing

[dusk eagle]

Neeh help. On field sprint and I got the summer Steven battle and it literally obliterates my entire team

Even using aura Cynthia for defenses she's getting crushed

HE DID 700 DAMAGE TO LUCARIO WITH A BODY SLAM

[tight escarp]

Are you using the bonus upgrades?

[dusk eagle]

Yeah 100% mc boost

[tight escarp]

Can you show the team you’re using?

[dusk eagle]

Rn it's event victor Anni 2024 Lillie aura Cynthia

5/5 5/5 2/5 for each

@tight escarp

Aura Cynthia should not be getting absolutely shredded in a couple moves.

Yes Anni Lillie isnt dealing damage but she's got a 2x pts boost

[tight escarp]

Hmmm I lowk forgot the gimmicks of that one

But yeah Summer Steven stage is pretty difficult

[dusk eagle]

Just says use special attacks and ghost zone

I've really got a good rally run going I hate to lose points cuz a stage is ridiculous hard

It's cleared

Took some potions and getting the right move combos

[tight escarp]

Woohoo congrats !🎉

[dusk eagle]

Thanks

Stage is disgusting especially for a stage from like 3 years ago

It's weird every stage Lillie gets 2x points she gets pretty shut down by a gimmick

[fluid mountain]

NOPE! Will try Evelyn on H

[dusk eagle]

Got another troublemaker. How do I beat Noland on tech support

I hate these new battles. They suck

[pearl lion]

cinderacecgloria + ss steven and pray for wide guard mpr on lana?

[dusk eagle]

I can try that one

[fluid mountain]

Areas 1-9 done on VH and area 10 on H.
4 BCs, bad starting item, one of the worst shop ever, got some troubles to beat A3, and sprint/field bonus for A10 that made do hard difficulty instead, and yet got 11k somehow!

Items used:

• 1 Battle Facility Foe (start)

Battles per area:
1: Diantha BC (from Palentines '22 event)
2: Agatha Ice-W CS
3: Team Rocket Grunt Male BC (from SS Morty event)
4: Malva BC (from Grusha event)
5: Bruno Ground-W Kanto CS
6: Phoebe Ghost-W CS
7: Lucian Ghost-W CS
8: Barry BC (from Palmer and Argenta event)
9: Lorelei Electric-W CS
10: [Hard] Evelyn UB (VH was Nita UB)

[kindred seal]

3 field/sprint 💀💀💀

[dusk eagle]

How's Lana stop a turn 1 fissure?

Endurance still leaves her dropping after another hit after fissure

[heavy fjord]

you tank with gloria and use bounce to dodge it

you don't care about tanking with a support because every move in the stage is either AOE or an OHKO move, except for like one Brick Break from the side mons in the first sync cycle

[dusk eagle]

K thanks

[dusk eagle]

Do you think the severe sundae will make this alot easier?

[heavy fjord]

probably not significantly easier, no

[pearl lion]

ive done that compe before but i also have exr ss steven and gloria

[dusk eagle]

Cuz timing the bounce and getting mpr on wide guard is a painful combo

[pearl lion]

First sync cycle you gotta quadqueue bounce right after max move

kinda obnoxious tbh

[dusk eagle]

Cuz I got to his second sync and died after

If this gets too annoying I might just step down which would be a shame cuz I'm over 10k

[pearl lion]

You using flying

or nah

[dusk eagle]

Yeah

[pearl lion]

yeah its just mpr fishing then

and spamming bounce whenever possible

[dusk eagle]

Yeah I didn't get one last game

I've also gotta remember the times he uses eq too

[pearl lion]

mid is always eq > fissure iirc

[heavy fjord]

fissure > eq > fissure > eq, unless you take the sides out fast iirc

[pearl lion]

basically yeah

[dusk eagle]

Didn't even focus on them. Wanted Palmer out

[heavy fjord]

but yeah, you're gambling on a 60% mpr if you're playing the long game

[dusk eagle]

This sounds like a royal pain

[heavy fjord]

thats the average UB for you, really

[pearl lion]

Tbh if youre running ss steven and enough boosts you dont really need to deal w/ the sides

he just kills them already

[heavy fjord]

yeah, expanded sync is nice

[pearl lion]

obnoxious UB tho

[heavy fjord]

i find it one of the more tolerable ones outside of the rally setting

but in the rally setting it definitely sucks

[dusk eagle]

His syncs crush everything

Second sync everything dies

This battle is garbage

Even if I beat the mid the sides are gonna beat me to death

Yeah forget this

Thanks for trying guys but the stress this stupid battle brings ain't worth it

Ugh Giovanni stinks too

WHY SO MANY STAT BOOSTS

[pearl lion]

idk what boosts you have

[dusk eagle]

Main character and fairy

And if i dont use my 2x points pairs NC Serena ss acerola/Steven and alt Gloria I'll get even less points

This is literally a use akari battle and I can't use her

If I'm gonna pull from this I'm just gonna buy that stupid severe sundae and end this disaster

Done

I hate you Noland battle

[kindred seal]

Wow, despite the land mines of field/sprint, I still got a lucky stage on something else

[sweet mango]

Speed or attack powerup?

[pearl lion]

speed feels more universal

[kindred seal]

Speaking of Noland...
Man, just nearly all special battles. I only got 2 CS battles to even things out

[simple frost]

I think spd is prolly better but both could work

[pearl lion]

you have tech at least

[kindred seal]

I've never done Noland before. This looks annoying

lmao Piercing Gaze Fissure. What were they on? I think I'm just gonna eat the loss and go normal difficulty

[simple frost]

With what role bonus?

Youll need Guard Chcolat or having Support Role Bonus

Support bonus gets you access to Falkner and Lana

Otherwise yeah rip

[pearl lion]

or smth w/ dodge or guard

Like cinderace

[simple frost]

Fissures need to be dodged

[pearl lion]

grusha has tech exr weirdly enough

ive used it in br

[simple frost]

If you have enough theme boosts, yu can take those +10PMUN EQs.... Somewhat

[kindred seal]

Quite possibly the most obnoxious battle in the game and it should be permanently deleted

[simple frost]

But yeah Fly for fissure

But he doesnt take too much, just a good enough damage for your dealer

[mental raft]

[kindred seal]

Oh yeah, earthquake is an insta-kill. This is not winnable

[pearl lion]

earthquake needs wide guard or smth like grusha b move

[kindred seal]

Ugh, I've never won Leon either though. I remember not being able to get through the onslaught of incredibly powerful moves

[mental raft]

Can you show your roster with available sync pairs?

[pearl lion]

honestly leon is super fat and obnoxious to deal w/ even if you have all the right stuff

so much hp

[simple frost]

Display role bonus and upgrades and shop

[pearl lion]

And giovanni is worse

gio refuses to fucking die

ever

[simple frost]

Ive killed gio with like uhhhh

Arc cynthia, nc red and Akari.

Nc red tank

[kindred seal]

Isn't the role at the top of the screenshot? Oh, but the two red ones look almost identical. It's Gym Leader though

[pearl lion]

Ive killed him before but like... i really dont have the patience for him

[simple frost]

Hum you need to have Electric Terrain

[pearl lion]

gotta wonder if obstruct blocks eq

[simple frost]

Sst red or Whats his name, Volner

With that much theme boosts, you can even equip Wide Awake LS

Just have a long lasting wtz

[mental raft]

No it can't

[simple frost]

Just need a way to drop sp.def, but its tech

[kindred seal]

I have SST Red, so I should be able to win Leon

[simple frost]

So im sure youve got a big roster

[dusk eagle]

Yeah I rage quit Noland earlier

[simple frost]

Perfect then

Needs gym leader for boost then

Sst red will drop their spdef nicely

[kindred seal]

Got close on my first try vs Leon but I accidentally let Electric Terrain run out, which is a lose condition lol

[simple frost]

Yeah

You have to check the eterrain

You can give Volkner Wide Awake to make sure

[kindred seal]

There, I've won. Man, I'd like to win this Leon battle one day because I have all the good electric units. But the real one is just so much harder

Would have made it to 10k if Noland was winnable

[mental raft]

That's still a great score!

[mental raft]

With this kind of seed

[kindred seal]

Yeah that too. I mean, it felt like the early days of the mode where I used the same units all the way through. But it sure hurts score

Without the lucky stage, it may have been my worst scoring run

[simple frost]

You pnly really need luke 9.750k in a 4week month and less in a 5week month

[sweet mango]

[simple frost]

Awesomeeee

[pearl lion]

mc?

[normal python]

Well, now I'm in a very precarious situation

A6 is steel-weak Diantha with tech/sprint bonues and my only upgrade is E4 upgrade

I have exactly 3 tech/sprint units but none of them are upgrade fodder

[sweet mango]

Boss was giovanni and I saved akari on a hunch

3 mc, 4 speed up

[normal python]

Can someone help me here?

What do I do against steel-weak Diantha?

[sweet mango]

Use 1.5x

[normal python]

Colress huh?

And I guess I have to use an E4 to make it significantly easier

[simple frost]

Is it the one with sandstorm?

[normal python]

No, CS

And I've already made it through her

[simple frost]

Wokay

[normal python]

Shops is still giving me trash upgrades

Ok, what unit is made for water-weak Blaine's BC?

@simple frost Tell me

[simple frost]

Uh fire galar gym leader and

Larry

[normal python]

Kabu and Larry? Hmm

[normal python]

If my initial upgrade didn't suck, this would've been over 11k

No lucky area BTW

[mental raft]

This set loves me a lot!

[timid oasis]

U got Hop and they gave u grass

[mental raft]

I skipped to Sinnoh lul

[fluid mountain]

I guess it's champion time!

[mental raft]

https://tenor.com/view/champion-time-leon-coming-out-out-of-the-ocean-pokémon-masters-pmex-gif-26203953

[mental raft]

Ah same seed as last week!

[timid oasis]

Not so bad XD

[timid oasis]

[tight escarp]

Of course.. the type I have the least of….

Tied with Bug types but still least invested type

Oh! Okay!

[serene spoke]

goated

[mental raft]

Too much Tech/Sprint and Tech/Field I was continuously hoping to not get that seed

[tight escarp]

This would’ve been so much fun if I had an EXR Elaine

Saw I got Kalos boost in shop, is it worth getting due to my rock type roster or?

[mental raft]

Yep! Strike/Tech A10 with Sinnoh boost!

[mental raft]

Imo skip Kalos cuz Roster is too narrow!

[fossil bramble]

The worst part here is not even Nita. It's the loading 4 times and no lucky stage

[leaden wraith]

Will it work? Let's find out

[stark zinc]

No 11k but i can still do 10k

[tight escarp]

Why Giovanni….

[leaden wraith]

Hey at least you can use a Hazer

[tight escarp]

Should I buy Champion Upgrade? Gives me access to NC Marnie

[mental raft]

Obstacle!
Can't even beat the centre with 1 Grass and 2 Sinnoh!
I am getting a lot more BCs lol!

Oh Barry is ice weak!

[tight escarp]

Actually nvm because apparently I need have a field effect as well…

Does this call for Apple cup

It did

Pretty decent considering my seed

[rancid zodiac]

Nooooo, 10k will be hard to get

[mental raft]

Finally!

[leaden wraith]

Haha take the L Giovanni

[simple frost]

Interesting

My kind of seed wew.

3x sprint field sucks though

[mental raft]

How did you tackle the accuracy drops?
Acuity on all??

Is it champion time?
I hope they can clear Thorton!

[leaden wraith]

good guess! Penny has HS1 because all of her moves are sure hit

[simple frost]

what's the upgrades lookin like? 😮

[leaden wraith]

Not possible unless you buy like 6 theme upgrades

[mental raft]

Two Sinnoh but it's not doable lol

[simple frost]

i'd run a tech/support or strike support tbh.

[mental raft]

Lenora or Iono are only available ones!

[mental raft]

I think it's time to try Nemona!
I have V Hop for 4 times Grassy terrain and Grass theme!

[simple frost]

still need to be able to tank his hits though :x

[mental raft]

Wdym?

Oh got it nvm

I think I should try it!

[simple frost]

delete 40%, then Cynthia gaming at the end should work.

[mental raft]

No I mean I am doing Nemona now

Thorton is not doable without a Ultra Jelly or Apple Cup

Two Sinnoh boosts are not enough!

How many times do I have to rebuffs Nemona?
I can save NC Cheren's B move and AS Cynthia's Sync for rebuffs again!

[mental raft]

I wish I had Penny!
But maybe in future?

[leaden wraith]

She cleanses rebuff after every sync move

[leaden wraith]

They don't help you to clear Thorton

[mental raft]

Yeah I will do Nemona!

Lol it was easy when you remove the terrain!

[fair ember]

Apple Cup infinite Protect blessed

[normal python]

Apple Cup

[leaden wraith]

Let's not act rude

[pearl lion]

i havent used a apple cup since BR first started

cant blame shibi tho bc anabel is miserable

[heavy fjord]

i've gotten it a few times since the update, it saves a lot of headaches against the new UBs

and honestly, I don't really need to care about the 500 points i'm missing out on bc of it

[simple frost]

i've only done 2 apple cups >_<

2 of them, its for Anabel lol...

[pearl lion]

i just drop

bc it usually costs me more than i would make from dropping difficulty

[mental raft]

This week BR!

[timid oasis]

[urban ledge]

Oh eww what is that A10c and with Dragon upgrade to start with lol. Fighting upgrade alternative

Oh goddammit it’s a repeat setup too

[simple frost]

how's your fighting though?

[urban ledge]

Does t matter I didn’t buy it lol

Moved on baybee

[fair ember]

pog?

I use it whenever my bonuses are bad

Like i had Dragon Champion bonus for Anabel

Strike Sprint

If i had nc silver that would be better

[fossil bramble]

Another Infinite Protect believer

[prisma gyro]

Looks like this week is gonna be easy mode

[simple frost]

DAmnit

got glacia'd

DC Silver - Rika 1R and Variety Thorton 1R :<

Johto Upgrade

[urban ledge]

Yeha Glacia surprisingly walled me lol

Last run

Between VH Darach and H Palmer I had to break through VH lol

At least I managed to get 10k points

[pearl lion]

Roark is a really nasty round to get

that fucking rampardos head smashes my tank every time

i sometimes drop in ss cyrus even when hes got no bonus

[simple frost]

Welp. 9k and above is good enuff

[stiff flume]

Yup, 9K avrg is enough to get vouchers powerup and sync orbs

[viscid flicker]

that's what i always do whenever i get that BC. SS Cyrus is op to carry non A10 stages

[astral path]

https://tenor.com/view/adventure-time-jake-the-dog-it-hurts-hurt-painful-gif-16342245

[dusk eagle]

Sst red moment

[simple frost]

Oh i got this. It was rough ;-;

Whats your starter bonus?

[astral path]

Water

[simple frost]

pretty solid then o/

[astral path]

I don’t really have any that are double

I have Serena and that’s about it

[karmic wraith]

i used the thorton to destroy the thorton (battle facility foe starting boost, got a sprint/field bonus stage blahhhh)

[serene spoke]

oh ig thats true, i dont have any exes so for me thats pretty good

ice boost :((

[copper nexus]

If you were to get it and know your final area is conserve ssdiantha

[obsidian sentinel]

Kanto boost!!!

[simple frost]

noice

what about seed though?

[obsidian sentinel]

Tech Support

[simple frost]

that ends in 4 other seeds though o.o;
inb4 Tech-centric seed

[regal mirage]

May I get help building a team for normal battle rally

[tight escarp]

Battle rally requires you to use different teams to check the gimmicks and the roles of the area

You will almost never use the same team in Battle Rally if your trying to get a good score for the vouchers

[regal mirage]

Ah

Then may anyone help me

Make teams

[tight escarp]

Oops forgot to mention, it depends on your seed, stage and bonus upgrades

[regal mirage]

I see

Wait

Oh

I made a mistake

I mean battle mansion

Not batte rally

My bad

[tight escarp]

Battle Villa?

[regal mirage]

Yes

The one in side stories

[simple frost]

hum

if you have Eevee/Leaf @ 3/5 or something, i think you could run Akari and maybe Adaman. Akari doesnt need a lot of buffs, just need people to give her gauge at the start. And maybe healing.

[regal mirage]

I do not

I have her at 1/5

[leaden wraith]

We have guide for #1009417207391985754 here

It's a chill side mode so you don't need to clear it in one go. Using the daily full recovery to refresh the pairs used each day and clearing some halls are good enough

There is a 1-team-clear comp in the channel i linked but it requires decent investments

[regal mirage]

Oh okay

Thank you

[ionic sigil]

If only there would’ve been a Lucky Stage…

[stiff flume]

MC

[copper nexus]

Woah trope without the gecko pfp barely recognized you

[simple frost]

pfp eh 😮

[regal mirage]

How does battle rally work

I’m confused

Is it like battle villa

Only 9 units?

[leaden wraith]

#1232035765954019338 covers basic questions about the gamemode

please check that channel and this thread's pins out for details

[regal mirage]

Ah okay

My bad didint see that channel

[leaden wraith]

it's a hidden thread under #1006331343300473022 so don't feel sorry about that

[twilit chasm]

[simple frost]

2400 points time? 😮

[timid oasis]

[quiet apex]

Not awful. Would have been higher if Geeta didn’t screw me over.

[obsidian sentinel]

The worst

[stark zinc]

At least it isn't an octo sprint

[simple frost]

ooof

[timid oasis]

[zealous plover]

Why is gloria so bulky? 😭

[mental raft]

Greta BC!
That's very bulky indead

[copper nexus]

Kalos bonus I assume?

[twilit chasm]

All of everyone it has to be him

is aoe block user a must

[leaden wraith]

yes

[twilit chasm]

f

i dont want to exr grusha just for this stage

[leaden wraith]

then move to H

[twilit chasm]

😭

[fossil bramble]

Who are your other Strike/Tech users

[leaden wraith]

Noland is very restricting tho

unless you have EXR Grusha there is no way to block EQ

even then he only has 2 uses of B Move

he is also the only available tech (including EXR) to do that

[mental raft]

2 uses are enough to kill Noland I think!

[twilit chasm]

hmmm if i replace nc blue with grusha it should still give more pts than nc blue comp in hard?

[leaden wraith]

so encountering Noland on a non support round is usually a guaranteed Hard clear

[fossil bramble]

Oh I just asked on the off chance they have stuff like SSR Cynthia lol

[mental raft]

You can't dodge fisure in that case!

[twilit chasm]

i tank with red

[leaden wraith]

but you can't dodge the next Fissure

[leaden wraith]

are you going to use the same team on H

[mental raft]

Oh protect I forgot!

[twilit chasm]

yes, assuming ssac ncred ncblue in hard comparing with ssac ncred grusha in very hard

[mental raft]

Yeah it's definitely high even without ExR Grusha

[fossil bramble]

Yep, is why if they can brute force, stuff like SSR Cynthia + NC Blue with Protect would work

[leaden wraith]

it is yeah but how can Red tanks the next Fissure after the first one

[twilit chasm]

when will it use 2nd fissure

[fossil bramble]

Right after EQ

[twilit chasm]

damn

[mental raft]

After 2nd sync

[leaden wraith]

i would just move down to H at this point

too much hassle to think about

[twilit chasm]

[fossil bramble]

I assume no Guard Chocolat on shop

[mental raft]

Or can try with Grusha, if it works then fine if it doesn't you didn't lose anything if you don't cake Grusha

[twilit chasm]

so how many unit with aoe block countering noland

[mental raft]

Lusamine I think

[leaden wraith]

Lana is the best option

Lusamine has no aoe block tho

[mental raft]

Oh I thought she had
Mb

[leaden wraith]

i think you should try this

[stark zinc]

Just give him (Guard) Chocolat

[twilit chasm]

bold of you to think i can get it

[twilit chasm]

Well it works. But i have to replace cynthia with silver for rival boost

[stark zinc]

Wait, so you DID give him the chocolat?

[twilit chasm]

No. I just sacrifice bonus

Since it still gives more pts than hard stage

[twilit chasm]

😭

Very useful different upgrade, thanks dena

[quaint star]

Well, at least this is easy

[pearl lion]

thanfully support rolex is common asf

[zealous plover]

Yeah, and dragon

[zealous plover]

Every time y'all say rolex I think of the watches

[ionic sigil]

I use EXR for that reason

[stiff flume]

Both got frozen

[copper nexus]

Ouch

[simple frost]

Blizzard' oof.

definitely requires a reset.

[kindred seal]

Here's that Cynthia battle where you can't freeze the center for some reason. Isn't this NC Red's battle? What's going on here?

[stark zinc]

It wasn't NC Red's stage

[simple frost]

that should be the Irida/Adaman BC.

[kindred seal]

Oh right. That would explain how the weather is changed

[simple frost]

what area + upgrades looking like?

[copper nexus]

youre not freezxing because of sun lol

[kindred seal]

Man is that it? I could have sworn I encountered this before and it was for a different reason

[stark zinc]

I believe the middle has antifreeze too?

[kindred seal]

Just area 4 lol

[copper nexus]

If you can't freeze the reason is sun or anti freeze

[kindred seal]

Nothing popped up though

I'm legit figuring out sun prevents freeze right now. But I'm wondering if that's what happened the first time I came across this

I think there's another battle I'm forgetting that has me questioning an interaction before

[simple frost]

The only thing about this stage is that she sets up Sandstorm whenever she syncs + entry.

and you need to delete the sandstorm or change it to somewhere else

otherwise she gets so much bonuses.

the sides have wise entryx2

[uneven field]

rally gaming

just realized i put hoenn instead of sinnoh for lucian 💀

[zealous plover]

How do I survive Nolan's earthquake?

[heavy fjord]

Wide Guard, Damage Guard, semi-invulnerable moves

basically any way to prevent it from doing damage, Wide Guard being the most commonly used

[zealous plover]

Ah ok!

How do I search for pairs with Wide Guard? I can only think of Roxanne off the top of my head

Does Nolan bypass Vigilance?

[heavy fjord]

Pomatools has a search filter for moves that you can use, theres also Lana who typically is the character you'd use for his UB proper

And yeah, he has Piercing Blows so stuff like Vigilance isn't doing anything

[zealous plover]

Ohhh right!

Wait Fissure goes through Wide Guard?

Bruhhh. How am I supposed to do this with a 2x bonus and my theme boosts?

[heavy fjord]

Fissure isn't AOE, so you need another way to deal with that

[zealous plover]

:( I'm gonna have to give up my 2x boost

[zealous plover]

Cleared with Nita, Cyrus and Lana

[fluid mountain]

Areas 1-9 done on VH. Area 10 done on H
Mostly tech seed, just one BC, everything doing well except for A10 which had Nita on VH, so I went for Thorton on H instead with a x4 bonus team, and barely succeeded

Items used:

• 1 Galar Upgrade (start)
• 1 Main Character Upgrade (100, from A9)

Battles per area:
1: Karen Bug-W CS
2: N BC (from Volo and Jacq event)
3: Lucian Ghost-W CS
4: Bruno Psychic-W Johto CS
5: Aaron Electric-W CS
6: Agatha Dark-W CS
7: Bruno Ground-W Kanto CS
8: Siebold Electric-W CS
9: Bertha Grass-W CS
10: (Hard) Thorton UB (VH was Nita, again )

[fossil bramble]

She's got hands even with Ice and Galar boost

Well if all else fails I still have Guard Chocolat and Ultra Jelly in shop

[fossil bramble]

Free boost: Ghost
Items bought: Ice Boost, Galar boost, Opp Status: Power Up

[mental raft]

You can flinch them! Nice!!

[fossil bramble]

Once, then they'll have immunity for a long while (idk how long tho)

It was enough for what I need tho

Before they can do their second move, I already got to sync once and have two moves on queue

[mental raft]

It's great that you did it without Ultra Jelly!
I would simply buy it without a thought against Nita

[fossil bramble]

I tried first because besides no strong AoE, Irida and Oleana are perfect here

[dusk eagle]

What's best for the Masked Royal for field tech and please don't say Oleana

[fossil bramble]

Geeta

[dusk eagle]

What else to go with her? My only current boosted points pairs are SST Red and NC Diantha but I need Hoenn or Alola

[fossil bramble]

Is Janine Tech? If so her, altho that doesn't solve the bonus

[dusk eagle]

She's not exd for me

And yes she is tech

[fossil bramble]

Who is the hard

[dusk eagle]

Palmer

[fossil bramble]

Hmmm Palmer might be more realistic for you

But what's your shop

[copper nexus]

Janine can’t ex and she’s pretty good ar gimmick checking that fight

[fossil bramble]

The problem with MR is you'll give up too much bonus

But ye she just needs to debuff

[dusk eagle]

Severe sundae and defense jelly

[copper nexus]

Oh hold up Janine can ex didn’t know that happened

[dusk eagle]

Currently have 1 Hoenn 1 Alola and 1 sync move boost

He just nukes my team

Tried geeta sst red and ss acerola and didn't last the shnc

Yeah I think I'm just royally screwed

[fossil bramble]

Just do Hard Palmer with Acerola/Red/Diantha

[dusk eagle]

Gonna have to unfortunately

And I hate it

[normal python]

How coincidental. I got Guard Chocolat for my VH stage, which is Noland

[serene spoke]

Might be cooked

[mental raft]

Strike Sprint

[serene spoke]

I don't have him exed

Is palmer easy?

[mental raft]

Not easy but, his only gimmick is hit him very very hard, try to pre sync

[leaden wraith]

you have to clear the battle before his sync move, or before his max move at worst

[serene spoke]

Ah ok

Can 1/5 rei do that

I doubt it

I can do the first one if worst comes to worst

[leaden wraith]

it's never worth attempting the Normal difficulty

1/5 Rei might have a chance with good partners

we will see when you reach the A10

because the shop lineups might matter

oh, you should visit the shop in the current round

[serene spoke]

I did

It was ice boosts mainly

Like ice zone boost

And other useless stuff

[serene spoke]

Unless if u are running out of time like i am

And I have attempted normal for all of the ones before

[leaden wraith]

you should just apple cup the Very Hard

[serene spoke]

In that case isn't it just better to do the normal stage?

[leaden wraith]

nope, the net gain is very small compared to purchasing apple cup and beat VH

[serene spoke]

Alright so who should I use with rei

[mental raft]

VH > H > VH Apple Cup> Normal

[leaden wraith]

is this the A10's shop?

[serene spoke]

Yes

Alright I bought the apple cup

[zealous plover]

I like this staircase setup

[leaden wraith]

Hala + Rei + a random strike

[serene spoke]

Alright thanks lemme try

Apple cup was so fun to use wow
