#Sync Grids
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
Am I dumb or are those 2 the exact same skill
I think Gobsmack is specifically for "attack" moves that deal damage. Flabbergast can be on status moves. I believe Erika's stun spore has a flabbergast node
In that context there is no difference though. I have no clue why they made 2 different names for whats almost the same skill
That feint attack is for fall caitlin im guessing?
yes
All units with Gobsmack could've Flabbergast instead
None of them has a status move that target the opponent
weird
Eh, not like it makes much of a difference
How much of a requirement is 3/5 for Ash and Red?
3/5 Ash and Red unlocks their nuking potential
For Ash, 1/5 is enough for buddy move
While 3/5 Red unlocks some utility
Alright. I have almost 2 candies of each, but don't know if I should 3/5 them or keep them for now
Can you take screenshots of your 5*/6* strike and tech roster? You might have better options to candy, since both Ash and Red are good at 1/5
Everythibg else relevant is at 3/5. Deoxys at 2/5. SSethan at 1/5. Rest are already 3/5
I guess I'll wait for next CS. See if 10k is doable or not
that's a low bar for those 2 lol
Is there a RedChu grid that's obviously better? I get that both builds are gonna shred through opponents, but is one standing out over the other?
Talking about the sync nuke and the MAX move grids ^
imo the max move is better used as a "support" move to paralyse everyone, so i'd say the full nuke grid is better
The max move also skips a whole turn to get to your sync quicker and a whole round of moves with an extra sync buff
best is relative as usual, depends on what your goal in a specific battle is, but I guess damage wise yeah, nuke it is
Gotcha, thank you 💚
It doesn't skip a whole round of moves because max moves don't count as 1, if u triple queue like normal there will be one countdown missing
You could quad queue
I meant first sync cycle
hows this grid for magneton
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
thinking of using it for a team with red/ ash
I don't think you need Sync Regen since if pairing with those two you probably don't want to sync with Clemont.
Thinking maybe this would be better.
For general purpose I'd replace Quick Cure by Sparl HE1
Also Sync Regen kinda better than Tighten Up since you raise your defenses anyway, tho it's very niche
In a red /ash team comp the core tiles are FA4, shock recovery 1 and electro repulsion 3... don't need sync regen or HE1 because red provides team wide regen through TM and a guaranteed paralyse
There will be 20 energy left so it's whatever your choice
Why would you pair Clemont with them? Give them a Kanto theme unit for the passives.
Do u have eevee though
Ye
ET is the only team you would actively want to use BP Clemont, he's never gonna be an option among the optimals otherwise
recommended grid for 3/5 lucian if you're never gonna sync with him? obv growl charging affliction 2 and confusion aggr 4 but not sure what else is even useful aside from like. Wide Awake.
Why pair anyone at all with them 
Looking at the pins which is the better build for Bea, and how high of a priority is her ex? I know she's a strong unit, I just got her to 3/5
Use the sync nuke build. And yes she is a good choice to ex
I personally took confusion nodes for teams that he is purely going to support
The nuke build looks really strong tho
My personal nuke grid differs from the doc tho, and it's easy for u to take adrenaline+1 sync node out for the charging infliction+unflappable nodes if that's really impt to you.
How’s this look for the extreme battle
If you pair him with anyone that can provide gauge, this is better

When running SSBlue-Redchu-Ash what would be the suggested build of the options available in the guide?
What move levels?
I'm aiming for 3/5 all once i have candies. For now running 1/5 I'm a new player started 2 days ago
I want to have a target to build towards
Full tank or adrenaline wise entry for ss blue, sync and terrain for ash or rejuvenate, and red im not sure on I just got him to 2/5
Alright thank you for your advice
Hey, anyone has sync grids for new BP pairs?

well yeah they aren't updated in the doc, that's why im asking
Does this look like a good grid? I'd rather sync with ash than red if ash is ex though with volt tackle red honestly shouldn't bother syncing imo
Could run that too for sustain
You don't need the Electric terrain Precision pal, Para Synergy would be better
I would argue Redchu has pretty good sustain by default, would be a waste not trying to full on nuke with haymaker+Cakewalk somehow
In csmm I'd rather sync rejuvenate buddy move then volt tackle I'm not sure anything is standing after that unless they're wise or sentry entry
You can run them 1/5 0/20 gridless and they'll still off-type easily
So it's just a matter of what you prefer them doing
I'm not investing into ash more than 1/5 because I feel like 3/5 ex removes the incentive of using his buddy move tbh
whats a good ss morty grid if i have head start as a lucky skill
picking vigilance and mp refresh but what else
Depends who you're supporting
lusamine
normal one
i wanna re do mm using lusamine
but she cant kill
mid
😦
There’s no BP Sophocles?
Yeah just give it some time
Did we ever figure out if the phys.atk up node on sophocles was worth it or not
Well that's something you have to figure out yourself
It's a good node
You have to value if you want to pick something else over it or if you're planning to click iron defense at all
Simply use Sonia 👍
You could also use Hilbert and use 2 iron defense to fully buff, having 2 chances of getting pmun
good grid?
I am going full DPS because even if she has good sync multipliers, I never see myself syncing with her
Her teams have pairs that get more from syncing
Unless you go super budget team like Acerola Nita for example
Qn how does she fare against a 3/5 may (swampert)
Oh yeah speaking of Naomi, how is she compare to groundon or ss gio ?
in ground damage they both probably blow her out of the water
but she is niche because compared to them she has special ground dps

Naomi will get the job done not much else
any good grids for gastrodon
i would use this (general build)
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
I'm currently looking at this for a non-rain CS build. Is Gobsmack worth the 9 energy?
Alternatively, I'm looking at this rain grid to pair with May and Rox. Wondering if there is a better alternative setup.
it's a good tile so picking it isnt a bad choice
i would pick TM MPR for general use, since you never sync with her
in the cyn rox may setup i think i can spare a sync for cyn tbh
you want to sync with may first for mega
oh
always sync with may unless you bring ex support
does gobsmack have 30% of confusing all enemies every hit?
did chance to flinch on aoe stuff like tornado have the same %flinch to 3 enemies vs 1 enemy
the interference from passives dont have aoe penalty
ah
that means Earthquake has 30% chance to confuse pokemon it hits
it wud be a nice way to shrug off potential hits
yeah that's part of what makes tornadus's kit neat
especially since stuff like flinch is often more valuable when you can synchronize the flinching of all the enemies
For Ash, you want to focus on his sync
For Red, either focus on his B Move or his sync
What grid should I use for a 2/5 Red?

the pins don't have anything for 2/5 i checked already...
be creative then
those grids are suggestions anyway, you are free to come up with something different on your own
Do we know when we are getting the datamine for houndooms sync gris upgrade? Or is it already out?
25th as always
updated pomatools to support the level cap of 150
Hrmph. Any chances he is decent afterwards? Trying to figure out Darkrai worth
well she's a nuker now, if you're talking about karen
Yeah saw that. What does a decent darkrai comp look like?
team comp or sync grid?? it depends on what you wanna use him in, as the damage dealer or a dark type supporter
Team comp. I feel like there are no huge dark nukers.
He is the huge dark nuker
tho there are many other ones; Masked Royal, Sidney, Karen, Summer N, etc
But he himself has a stronger sync if set up properly
Yeah I have sidney masked royal and karen all at 5/5 so
then all you need is a support that can buff what they're missing
Persian?
yeah sounds good
Idk darkrai worth but I am definitely glad I got him, that aoe sleep is phenomenal
Of course it's worth lol
Is headstart pile a must for Cynthia Luca?
If you wanna nuke with someone else first cycle yea but in general nah
So potion and vacuum crit should be the better grid?
You have 4 presets, you can make all of them and just choose depending on the situation

this is better
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
For ash and pikachu which sync grid is better? The thunder / tank one or the sync nuke/ b thunderbolt option
Depends on usage
@copper verge just heads up was comparing your BP stuff to mine so saw Clemont + Magneton.
He already has Vigilance as one of its 3 passives, should give him another Lucky skill. Also nice favorite list.
Oh right thx for pointing out, tbf he doesn't really need a lucky skill at the end but added a few suggestions 
yeah thing is you'd generally bring him for screech usage but yeah if yeah it can work spamming Spark with MG2 ^^
LS are kinda w/e if you ask me (unless it's HS1
)
I gave him Unbending, since he has Stalwart in grid
to counter Azelf's debuff gimmick
yeah might as well spec him to where you'll occasionally use him I guess 😛
yes if u are tackling uxie
why uxie
Easy way to disable one of its passives
‘Easy’30% chances
lol everything in LG comes down to 30% chances eventually
you only have to proc it 2-3 times
Thing is you don't want it to happen too early anyways cause he might build immunity to it by the time you really need it (bar 2)
Finally got my boy lodge N, and I have no idea how to grid him. I have a nuke grid but nothing else
Kinda want a good grid for him to just be at the side inflicting sleep and spdef drops
Something like this
Any good Rosa and Dewott grids?

How do I get the extended grid for Karen and Houndoom? or has the extended grid not been released yet?
Wait for 25th
great 
There aren't any there.
Sparky hasn't updated the Trainer Lodge section yet.
Hm, I could've sworn you mentioned another pair. My bad then.
That section is like the Dragon Scroll from Kung Fu Panda, blank.
Guys need an image that show up which sync grid are best on a sweeper Kyogre

this should be enough 
https://gyazo.com/d391b40719553fb779e91898765d3753
Btw, is N Zoro or extended Houndoom stronger ?
N is stronger, but Karen is enough for dark weak
Karen takes too long to set up unless you have someone to set up for her
Tbh I've been using incineroar for everything dark 🙃
His def debuffing has been excellent
Not to mention his aoe +6 speed buff

She really doesn't, it's just a matter of reducing the teammates pool due to set up
Sscyrus is a staple and that's already completing her set up
Any good Rosa and Dewott grid suggestions?
.
Are there any good Bulbasaur grids out yet?
Not sure but to my knowledge, no
I think a lot of these Pairs that come from Lodge, are not all in everyone's hands plus they aren't too good like Ash or Red so they are getting a bit left behind for sure
But definitely go with what you think is good if there is no one grid out yet
Hey, dunno if the peeps who work on the recommended grids doc are looking for stuff to fill in the Lodge Sync Pairs, but this is what I decided to go with on Cynthia + Gastrodon for a sort of “universal use” grid:
Yeah i think thats about it. quick cure, first aid4, mgr mpr
Would go that as well since im close to TL Cynthia
Imo N and sigiliph does a lot of dmg. But yeah they are free units and are balanced that way
Lodge grids will probably come over the weekend, got swamped recently. But yeah overall they're not very complicated, similar to BP and 3/4* gach units grid in generall
Is this a good grid for N? I tried to base it off of the bolt strike minimal grid in the doc but a bit less... minimal
At 2/5 you can pick all sync nodes and bolt strike related tiles
Lets ignore the outrage tiles
Def good
thoughts on this for dewott
It may seem stupid but I cant see any sync grid anything I touch just brings me to the top of document
Click on the link it sends you to at the top of the document, It does it to me too and it used to work fine
What again is Karen's expanded grid?
Her grid will be expanded in 25th. You can go to pomatools web to see her new tiles
So how strong is she?
Ah
Holy shit, fr-??
These expanded grids made Karen and Cynthia viable DPS options now just like that-?!
she also has a nuke now
well Karen dps is the same as pre expansion
expansion grid gives her viable nuke
Basically same goes for Cynthia
i guess there is someone who picked Superduper Effective 5 
Is this a solid Poison DPS grid for Lodge Sycamore?

What's a good battle villa grid for 3/5 sstred?
You just need "sets terrain after max move" tile
Max Conductivity
Thanks, the name really did it
Ok then....
If you have the units, you can do this funny easy clear
Credits to Ropalme, not mine
no ex ash here
Is this good for a dps grid
I would pick fierce entry 2 but depends who's your support
Hilbert
Yeah then that's fine
Wonderful
Any good grid for red and chu?

Is this good grid?I'm using her with Buzzma and acyn
Literally her best grid
Who wants 3/5 between SS Steven, SST Red, and SC Rosa?
Or are they all fine at 1/5?
And I should save candies?
Steven works fine at 1/5 so no need to candy him
Red and Rosa wants 3/5 for nuking tools
But Rosa is more worth candying than Red imo
I'd say candy Red
Rosa won't sync in her usual teams
Several grass types are better nukers
And Easy Target is a joke
rosa is really just a funny numbers unit
stuff like ss erika mallow lyrabi will still one shot center
or close to it
With Easy Target
Which you need to waste 3 turns on
And the most important thing... Considering you're already using SS Lyra in the team

it's like the anni raihan lucas situation all over again

How does this look?
Depends on the team
Probably the Body Slam or Adrenaline grids? I’m admittedly not super familiar with Classic Red’s kit, but he shouldn’t need Rock Smash for an SS Ethan team
Alright thanks
Depends on what u need
Body slam if helping a physical striker and adrenaline if special
I mean rock smash
How necessary is a 3/5 grid for SST Red if I'm using him with Ash?
Not
Ah that's nice to know. Guess I can put him on the ever growing backlog of limited techs
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/2500/47800?s=3&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=13016303&g=AAECAwQFBgcKDA4PEBEUFxof
If you team candice froslass up with Janine Crobat you dont need agile entry and can go full damage
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
however she still doesnt seem to hit Shauntal hard on sync lol
What if you did BP Janine + BP Candice + Ghetsis then?
Candice does DPS, Ghetsis Syncs
Hmmm true that. I normally just holiday leon and regular candice, was hoping that blizzard & Sync nuke would be enough
Adrenaline head start or vigilance is best for MF Cynthia
Personal preference, mainly
I realized SC guzma might actually make use of confusion synergy with ssa cynthia having Gobsmack
How much damage does Confusion Synergy 1 even add?
Is it only 10%?
yeah
Hmmm it might not even be worth
Inb4 your opponent hits themselves in confusion and B Aura Sphere takes longer to unlock
Probably between SS Morty, SS Dawn, SS Brendan, and Teapot Lillie
Assuming only 1 Move Candy
Yeah i finally got a yellow one, support candies are scarce 😭
I will say that if it’s a universal candy consider using it on your favorite limited that’s below 3/5
Oh ok, i guess I’ll save it then
You can spend it now if you want, just something to consider since universal 5-star candies are the rarest of the rare
Id probably use it on brendan since he needs to tank heavily and 3/5 would help him a lot
Definitely a solid choice
The other have regen or flinch or buff really well
What's the best grid for ssa cynthia?
I tried checking in the doc, but wasn't able to find about her
Nor for other new units
you should refresh the doc, all new grids should be there
Where's the sheet of damage dealers per type again?

The pics are as follows: sync nuke, gauge sustain, grassy terrain tank
I am facing the same problem of unupdated drive file
Are grids of SSA cynthia out?
Or maybe someone can share the link of the drive file, it seems like I am using the older one
The file I am using was last updated on August 13
Cynthia & Garchomp
Cynthia & Gastrodon
Sygna Suit Cynthia & Kommo-o
Sygna Suit Cynthia (Aura) & Lucario
Sygna Suit Cynthia (Renegade) & Giratina
Does this make sense as a general-use grid for SST Red? I feel like if I’m not necessarily syncing with him I can switch off Haymaker to something else I’m just not sure how it should be
Is this better?
This is the "generic" build
literally pick every tiles (less than 60 energy) 
Any suggestions for a 2/5 SSTRed Grid when paired with ash
this an ok grid for naomi?
Like this better, you're already implying she's at +6 speed with ramming speed so no need for MGR
Thoughts? I'll be excited to try them out, nice having ground and steel options for f2p
please do not use molayne in sand
you gain nothing from running him in a sand team 
Really? I figured a little sustain but I've got much better sand units anyways. He's a physical striker and doesn't get ex right?
he doesn't have any dmg or nuke multipliers for sand
it's better to run him w steel zone or with nothing at all
i'd go something like this for a generalist grid
Imma just spec em into aggravation ngl
Yeah. Me too. Would like to experiment with trip wire too
Drop fleet feet 1 and pick aggravation 1 then we agree
There's no benefit in lowering speed unless you pick Hunter's Instinct, and even then that's the only reliable speed debuffing the unit has
Arresting glare 9 lowers speed on successful attacks
Attacks against Dugtrio
I meant just some experimenting with him. Not really sure what it would be useful for 
Maybe when ghetsis EX comes out, will use Darach and Molayne to setup nuke
No pal Serena here so looking for alternatives
You can use Sophocles + support
Yeah. Sophocles does seem nice. Sst Red too slow
shouldn't pull
Classic elesa is a great Dennis partner
pls send sst red grid
pls 
ok
fleet feet is 8 energy and aggravation is 10, you wouldn't have enough for it unless you dropped flinch hitter or a sync tile
Flinch hitter is only worth if you are running with SS Lyra or maybe a dedicated flincher
But without SS Lyra at most is 60% to proc flinch hitter
It's not a matter of the flinch rate you have
If you are the unit that flinches and then syncs, it's very likely that by the time the enemy is not flinched anymore
Yeah, I'd drop a sync tile and fleet feet, then pick aggravation and an iron head node
Is this best karen grid?
Btw why would you miss a free 20spd node
i would use this instead
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/6200/22900?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFEhUYKCssLS4wMTIzNDU
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Ok
I think this is still the bette build
if running her with ss cyrus i think this would be the best build since you cant sleep and flinch at the same time
so unless your support/tank/etc can confuse or trap i'd just not pick it up (since that team at its peak would have to be ss cyrus + ss lyra + karen and at that point why even use karen at all)
Guess there should be a few options other than lyra. Maybe ss dawn, ssa Cynthia even mespirit could possible confuse and help with buffs too. Should be more I guess
ye but the units for the full damage are a lil limited
ss lyra was just the first that came to my head since i have her 
Yeah. Without zone maybe you would have more options
She would nuke decently well I guess
Funnily enough with the grid I run I can pick up all of her new tiles by just getting rid of some MGR tiles and the ones leading up to them
Yes exactly, you can also pick satisfied snarl but dark pulse +18 BP is better than Overpower
As long as you are picking dirty fighting 5 and foul fighting 5
Picking the second sync BP node might also be worth it since she has mega sync with very low BP
I didnt believe it either but it is 100% true that if you are running foul+dirty fighting, the BP nodes add more damage than the overpower node
HOWEVER if for whatever reason you dont have conditions for both of those multipliers, then overpower edges out the BP nodes
But, ideally you are hitting those effects so
I 100% believe that picking BP gives higher damage because I tested it, but better damage ≠ better build. Satisfied Snarl makes her nuke set up easier while only losing a bit of damage so I choose that unless I pair her with specific support that can lower sp atk
What we were saying is picking BP nodes instead of overpower, not satisfied snarl
Unless you're bringing a -2 aoe SpAtk unit instead, you should mostly always pick satisfied snarl
Btw do we know the multiplier for sync power flux yet? Is it similar to the stat based ones? (IE we don't reduce the max gauge for csmm)
Yes, X2 at 6 gauge
Oh that's nice
Best Silver grid for Coballion?
Tbh, you could just use any of the grids pinned for fire type damage and take sacred fire hostile environment and accuracy tiles if you're having issues for a single time clear
My dumbass didn't think that you can pick speed +5 instead of MGR yesterday, yeah I think this is the best. Could also exchange 1 bp node for mgr
Who should i sync for LG? Im new so i havent so much resources
think silver would be really good for cobalion
Need some suggestions. This is my team for misty. Which sync grid is better? MGR or synchro healing?
how is cyrus without the sync grid extension ?
he is already good before the expansion
Is this a good grid for BLUE
I’m not sure you need surging sands one and sands of time there might be better things but I need to check his grid
I’d personally maybe run smth like this
Mhm....did this 1
So, anyone out there actually want healthy healing? Ive had it on Blissey for a long time but now that we have the guaranteed cookie for it im not even sure anyone wants it
I dont usually grid vigilance. Maybe ill give to phoebe
Right now i have revenge boost on her
yeah hh is much better for her
especially since she doesnt have any healing on grid

I went with team speed buffs for blissey
Theres no team speed buff cookie i dont think. Just her own speedy entry
It in the grid
I got mind games 2 for blissey too, so she has the chance to buff speed, debuff spdef, and remove status with her hyper voice
Oh i see, instead of the vigilance grid
I put vigilance in the lucky skill
I usually use Ash and Red together
So maybe thundershock? Or conductivity?
I'd do Max Conductivity if pairing with Ash
Thunder Shock comes in handy for gauntlet fights like Cobalion & Tornadus
Full Boost for syncing with Red ofcourse
you have 4 grid presets, put all off them on Red and switch the grid depends on team / stage gimmick
How do I preset?
It's in you grid builder
Hit the upper right button and you'll see you have access to 4 preset options
Is sandstorm MPR not useful to 3/5 bertha?
She already has a great duration of sand
So if it's in an awkward spot on her grid I'm sure it's often skipped
Outside of LA, you don't need over 2 uses of Sandstorm
Hmm
Its beside sand castle 2, at the top of bottom left part of grid
Like this
I have always seen people take MPRs on the weather moves, so not seeing sandstorm MPR made me feel awkward
You can definitely take it if you need it
Because most weather moves MPR are in ideal spots, so you dont need to spend much energy on them
Maybe for like Moltres or something
But 3 sandstorm uses is usually enough for most battles
But like Chauncho said, her MPR was in awkward spot
That's also because she's a great sand nuker
See why her sync tiles are prioritised over sandstorm mpr
She can be used as an utility unit and a nuker
Hmm, and stealth rock is on the field for the same duration as other weather, terrains and zones?
Stealth rock has 90s duration, unlike other field effects
Ah
The others only have 45s duration
Oh wow
I first thought 90s was less, wasn't knowing it's twice the time for weather
I'm gonna set four grids for Nessa, are these grids okay?
Sync Nuke
Razor Shell
Jaw Lock
Rock Tomb Speed Debuffer
I don't see why you'd use jaw lock in a rain team
And the last one I don't see why you'd want to use it
The first 2 are good
What lucky skill is best for jasmine
For both variations, Vigilance
Definitely not for og Jasmine
She has crit shield
And SC jasmine has vigilance in grid
I run wise entry 2 on Jasmine, imo the best skill for her, and sentry entry 2 on SC jasmine
Im struggling so hard on what vespiquens grid should be
Idk if i should go with the attack order one or catalyst and quick cure i just idk
This is for taking down azelf btw
Someone help please
Whats a good SSKris grid that focuses on rain? None of the ones in the doc seem to be what I want
what… do you want then
build it around your wants
That's her basic kit
I remember seeing somewhere that overpower isnt good for karen since a few dark pulse tiles have a way better impact, is this true? I can't remember who said it exactly but i'd just like to know if I should pick it up or not on the new grids im making lol
The one in doc has it but idk
The comparison was mostly full tiles Vs Overpower only catching at -4 spA at the time. The thing is now some energy is invested in some of the new tiles so you can't really pick up all of them. And the grid also brought Satisfied Snarl 9 which makes it faster to setup. And well you're running Devastation (well at least on that "standard" build I mean) already so you're surely planning on dropping SpA anyway, noting that we got a good bunch of devastation partners lately. All in all OP isn't what makes or breaks the pair, but it's more cohesive than it was for that build if that makes sense
So if you have satisfied snarl and get them to -6 sp atk,
Overpower is better than 2-3 DP nodes?
Is this good grid for Red?
I'm assuming he's 2/5?
Yes
Considering you're picking ff5 and df5:
+18BP > Overpower > +12BP
Overpower is good in case you want to drop either ff5 or df5 because it's ironically the most reliable of her DPS multipliers
I'm currently on 12bp coz I'm thinking of taking the mgr is that a bad idea
Nah it's small difference amounts of damage
A trait that enables easier work is better than a <5% damage difference
What’s a good Karen expanded grid again I scrolled up and got confused
How this look?
That's good
Alt
Huh so Nanu got a bunch of nuke stuff but no additional flinch stuff?
He does, I’m just surprised that aspect got nothing
Flinch nukers aren’t great to start with
I mean what else were you expecting related to flinch
An extra agg1 would have been too much
Does Sabrina want to use her Sync when she plays as Full Support?
Because it would be useful to have access to an Support Sync but not sure if that is the best utility I can get from her
EXd, correct? Depends on a team, but a support ex is always nice.
Not like syncing with her removes all utility
Just that I would need to regrid her for if
What's stopping you
Just not sure if I want the 20% Healing off Sync
Since I would say I only use the Sync Once unless I was running a mutistage Mods
You know you can have four presets and change them depending on what you need? Not just use recommended sets
Maybe poison on bite 😋
An extra status/interference or Screech being able to go -3 defense would've been nice
Yeah 
updated
wow Victor's 4/5 and 5/5 grid tiles are kinda unnecessary lol
What multiplier is bigger, paralysis synergy 5 or furious brawn?
Norman can only reach 1 of them on the grid + steadfasts
Bro why does norman have like 10 different 10 energy nodes
Obv Paralysis Synergy 5 is better
Since it has 50% boost, compared to 30% boost from Furious Brawn
Theres no number by it so i didnt know
Im hoping normal zone makes his damage usable
Ah, too bad sevipers sync is physical, it could go well with poison zone and iris spamming acid
I'm just happy Lucy's getting Hostile Environment
Gigalith without any tools to summon sand again is such a crime
100% bad poison is no joke
Really happy for a full grid in general, she's one of my faves
I like how gordy is more of a fire type tech than rock lol
High Horsepower BOGO 9 is super strong
Nah I never click HH
We’re allowed to post images from the grid planner for unreleased grids, right?
Yes
Alright
In that case, here’s a slapped-together Lucy grid for Sync nuke:
Might be able to optimize it further, idk
Actually, yeah, could squeeze in the other Sync tile at the cost of 1 unused energy if you went up the left side and through the Sync tile to get Toxic Power and Hostile Environment
Actually, I think that won’t leave unused energy, gimme a sec
Nevermind, can’t get both Sync tiles if you grab TP/HE
Ah, true
I personally would prefer Toxic Power, but that’s an important thing to keep in mind

Ok there we go
How does this look for sync nuke SS Wally?
Maybe try and pick discourage 2 instead of overpower
His DPS is not something I'd invest much in
I mean it is a sync nuke build, not a DPS build
Then pick discourage 2
Why Discourage over Overpower?
Just wondering only
Discourage ensures -6 spatk for devastation
He only gets -4 by himself otherwise
And if you sync with him first, you get a bit of damage boost from -2
Oh yeah, I'm so blind as fuck
I thought Overpower was a sync mulitplier
And I even got the name of the multiplier that I wanted wrong
Godfuckingdamnit I want to die
Oh gross glalie doesnt gain any defense or spdef on mega
Thats depressing
Btw, how does sync power flux work? Is it based on how much gauge you have when the sync move connects?
How much the multiplier is depends on your gauge when you clicked on the sync move button
I believe so, yeah
For a sync nuke classic blue build, is crit strike 1 worth it? Or is it better to grab extra sync +25 nodes
It's ok no worries 
Everybody can make a mistake
Fun potential Helena grid for comboing with SSR Cynthia:
Can switch Hostile Environment with On a Roll if you want
https://i.imgur.com/Y4Xtzjm.png
i have 7 energy left. I'm trying to squeeze 1 more for vigilance
wouldent the spdef speed route give u more energy?
Since it’s 10 speed it might cost 4 energy, which would make it equal to going up the right side
Not to mention you’d need the extra Absorb BP tile which could close the gap even if energy were saved
How much does Quick Cure cost and is it mandatory?
it's to get to ramp up
going right is cheaper by 1 energy
if you don't pick up the absorb tile
It’s 7 cost anyways, so going bottom-right path to Ramp Up would cost more
guess there's no getting around 
gotta get it in the lucky skill
shame because i wanted adrenaline on this
alternatively i can get away with cutting off RU entirely ig
also gives me unyielding
Depends on what you’re using her for, I guess
tank for sure
ideally would buff spa as much as possible but i guess what it is now isn't too bad
Is this a good grid for Rilabook + Victor
I guess?
Wait why am I taking overwhelm
I haven’t looked much into Victor yet
Das a good question
His kit is like every other basic striker. His max move is aoe but that’s really the only thing that’s really interesting and new
His kit feels way more like a tech to me
How so?
Spd debuffs aoes and having Spd debuff based multipliers
Only like old strikers do that and even then I think they function a lot more like techs
Karen
It sucks all victors golf stuff is locked either behind 5/5 or smth
Idk how these new grids work
Oh nvm
Getting 5/5 for him unlocks the nothing tiles for me lel
I know 5/5 gives the funny BOGO 9 for High Horsepower
Yeah I saw that too
Mostly pointless, but hilarious
I don’t really think that’s too great tho. Maybe that’s just me
Yeah some people were saying that it’s really great and I don’t see that
I guess debuffs can give him some utility. If it’s just the base kit tho, it’s only on a 4 bar move which feels a bit much for a utility move. Feel like there’s someone that can do that without costing 4 gauges
It’s mostly pointless, yeah. But it’d be a funny thing to do something like Courtney + Victor + Something like 3/5 Sonia for the memes
That is pretty funny
Trying to decide who i will spend 2 tech candies on between ss may, sc rosa, or fall iris
Any personal anecdotes or suggestions with 3/5 for at least the first two?
I might end up spending 2 tech candies, and then doing a third tech candy + my general 5* candy
Basically by the end of october i can get 2 of them to 3/5
imma probably plan for a 0-/5 rillaboom atm :/
Anybody have a good grid for lodge Silver and feraligatr that focuses on ice punch? I plan to use him for consistent freezing
I was thinking of something like this for Glacia. Feels kinda bad to miss healing hail / powder snow HE / endurance, but I think team toughen up is kinda needed to help her physical tank + help the damage dealers tank syncs. Thoughts?
You also need to think who are you using her along
Focus Group 9 is a good skill but if you're using her in a hail team, most hail abusers have +3 crit themselves
I was thinking a similar grid but would like to pick first aid 4 or durable 9
Ya good point. But Focus Group 9 is only 5 energy, so getting rid of it doesn't open up much more. Mainly can swap that with endurance.
Candice doesnt get crit so its good for her
Ok
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Did I do it correct, not just the build, but also the damage calcs?
Can I request, the Type Rebuffs and Type Damage fields be cached?
I'm just going to leave them toggled for future calcs.
Can someone post an expanded grid for karen?
There’s some options in the document in the pins
Generally the important tiles are Devastation, Sync Power Flux, and Satisfied Snarl, and then Dirty Fighting and/or Foul Fighting and Overpower are great options depending on the team you’re running
This is the grid I run with NY Sabrina and Lucian as teammates, for example
Ideally you’d run someone who can buff Sp. Atk. and/or crit alongside Karen so she doesn’t have to spend so many turns buffing herself
I have sc lillie and ss kris
SC Lillie would be a great pick, means Karen only has to spend 2 turns at most on buffing herself
so sc lillie ss cyrus and karen?
Try it and see how it works out, you can always adjust teams as needed
Is this a good grid?
No
-Safety Tether?
-Interference sync 5 but you're picking ice punch stuff
And the move you want to use if you're gonna sync with him is Liquidation
I didn’t know how else to grab hostile environment and there’s like no other good stuff
First of all what do you want to do with him and who are you going to use him with?
Will SS Wally's builds appear in the site soon enough?
I’m prolly going to use him with like both Kris when that update comes out
This might not be the channel for it but is there anywhere where i can see which of the f2p sync grids actually make a unit go from useless to useful?
Like Mina/Granbulls grid made her a fun striker that could at least clear 2k CSMM with the right team, i like those kinds of challenges
You can see damage calcs, ask in the help channel or looknat the grids yourself
Mina was useful without her grid 
LG has shown pretty much any pair has a use, even eggmons work so...
Well I wouldn’t say Mina is good in the same way an egg is 
Then focus on sync and Liquidation
Ive thoroughly enjoyed using her with TMR for fairy weak stages
But i'll review the last few months of free grids and see what i consider worthwhile ty
Most are good. My only disappointments have been Grant and Hapu.
And supposedly others have made Grant work
Do I use CS2 or Vigilance on Sylveon? That's the question.
So far out of my mind I didn’t even think of her when thinking of grids that did nothing …
I have a few orbs to spare and I'm trying to find a unit to build. All my 3/5 5* have grids. I was trying with Korrina but her grid is borderline awful.
oh yeah ive hit cap and just randomly assigned orbs
anyone has sync grid for 5/5 wally?
I feel sswally can be built very diversely. do you need him for dmg or buffs/debuffs
I decided. I'll build a vampire tank Sylveon. I'll use the full sustain build with vigilance.
SS Wally Valerie SS Brendan should be funny
What’s wrong with a Korrina grid?
I was trying to find a sync nuke or cc build but she doesn't have the best grid out there. Also I can quite work with passives that require the unti to be at low hp. I'll try to build something and then I'll ask for advices.
Not the pre sync grids, her grid in general.
Power Reserves 5 but SSA Cynthia gives her +6 defenses, heals and damage reduction

Power reserves is dangerous. I prefer to avoid if I can 
A few units can live on the edge without that much risk
But most of the times yeah not worth the gamble
Is it just me or has Agatha vanished from the grid doc? I tried using the find tool for her and nothing came up and when I tried gengar only Alistair came up
Well, she has no grid, don't think she shows up unless you toggle something
Wait I'm an idiot
Oh wait, the doc, yeah, she won't be there
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/12801/28202 Has anyone tried out a SS Wally Dazzling Gleam build?
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
It's a 1 use move whose only multiplier is overpower... Which you set up after using it
Not worth building around it
Qn does rillaboom have like free high horsepowers with 5/5 with BOGO 9
I can't tell if that is good or bad tho, since it's a 3bar move
when Rillabloom uses HH, it gains free move next
its very niche
since you never click HH in most cases
It also means he's a very splashable duo striker if u want to
Excuse me, did wally only so far get 4-5 level grids so far?
What?
Yes, he is the first
Okie, thank
Are you asking about the 4/5 and 5/5 grid tiles?
If so, yes it is only Wally/Gardevoir so far, and Victor/Rillaboom in a week
Yes, thanks
Victor, SS Wally and upgraded Raihan yes?
I haven't looked at Duraludon... Is it getting upgraded?
I thought Duraludon was only back for the Lodge unit being released.
Getting extra nodes at 4/5 and 5/5
Raihan and Bede are the only two base characters I don't have... So I didn't follow any changes for Duraludon
When he reruns
Interesting, though.
I don't have him too, but I heard he's also going to be the same as SS Wally
And at 2/5 (fierce entry 2 and stalwart)
Depends on the team you run, and personality i would take that extra sp atk +5 over hp +10
You have my respect for replying to a comment 5 days old
It's the 1st one it loaded

My discord is pretty slow after the update
Not the 1st time i answer and old comment because it takes like a minute to load the new ones
Yes is the same as SS wally, 5/5 adds sync nuke potential, but the unit was good even before the DLC grid
Cynthia got regular grid upgrade (you still need 3/5 for her usability however) Raihan got the DLC grid treatment
What grid recommend for Karen n houndoom 5/5?
Generally Sync Power Flux, Devastation, and Satisfied Snarl are the vital grid tiles, and from there you pretty much pick and choose her damage modifiers depending on teammates
This is a grid I use with Lucian and NY Sabrina as her teammates, for example
I’m reasonably sure I could reset 2 tiles and squeeze in that 2nd Sync base power tile if I wanted, but so far I’ve felt no need to do so
Is Crit 9 a must have on SSGio if I have Crit Support already in something like Hilbert?
I would like to be able to reach Haymaker so I can Sync Nuke with him on Ground Zone
Nothing is a must have, adjust per your team
Thanks
If you're gonna sync and d-max with him I'd always pick it
What is the mainly reason for Adrenaline or Head Start over Vigilance in Lucario Cynthia?
Because her field can wear off before you sync and Triage Tank trigger, both of these can ruin quad queueing
But does that end up being so necessary to put those two skills over Vigilance?
She’s pretty tanky enough even without vigilance so getting hit by one or two crits shouldn’t be too much of an issue for her
So at this point, what is better? Adrenaline or head start?
I Vigalance all my supports. But that's just me
Either is fine
HS1 is more universal, adrenaline 1 is to try and sync nuke under zone after support ex
I think adrenaline is better for Fighting teams right?
Like keldeo, sirfetch
Yes
Thank u! Adrenaline then!
Im doing test (with adrenaline) and i think that the teams needs more sync accel stuffs
Just adrenaline isnt enhoug right?
It's not enough alone
😭😭😭
You need fast animations, turn denying or sync accel
I was rolling cookies for either hs1 or adr1, got hs1 so settled there
Thank u Racer 
what's the best lucky skill for SS Wally at 1/5?
Head start mind games adrenaline
Hs1/adr1
thanks
If I had him I’d prolly not sync with him and use a diff mega support but ye head start is super useful especially when used with like SSBrendan
Personal advice: when you're not sure why/how you use a HS or Adrenaline, might as well save your cookies.
But do keep in mind those are just getting universally better over time as we're getting more and more unit with Sync acceleration effect. For instance HS is recommend on Cynthia not only because it can possibly enable a 1st Sync under Zone if you want, but also because since she also has on the grid, it means any teammate bringing -1 CD make the comp a turn skip. Adrenaline is more for general quad-queue adaptation or occasional post-sync accel you might have around her.
Heyo does anyone have a grid for Wally at 3/5?
I made this but I'm not too sure if that's good enough
you are better off dropping Overpower and grabbing something like Discourage 2 instead
Aight
Is this a good grid
Oh alright pog
adrenaline
Explain me 😅
SSA Cynthia is hella bulky
she has like 2 max guards
and enemy rarely crits
adrenaline 1 makes more sense because her activating zone after sync makes it really hard to quad queue for 2nd sync in csmm
even if enemy crits
her base defense is already high due to master passive + bulky af def stats
and her healing is nuts
double small regen heal chance on zone and upon hit
im not even counting potions yet lol
Zone activation post sync doesn't affect quad queue in anything
It's only reactive passives (fighting zone triage tank 4) or zone running out before you sync
ss elesa/ sc diantha/ ssa cynthia best fighting team 
ah yes that
but even so its saving alot of headaches anyway
zone running out always 90% of the time
unless u spam most tmson first sync turn
Doesn't happen with head start 1
Full Support Sync
Full Sun Support
General Tank
I think this one in particular can be improved upon since hitting that top left corner is always so annoying but tempting
Let me know any suggestions or improvements you think can be made on my pathing
They are all the same ones that the bot links
I would probably say to remove the Sunbather and aim for Adrenaline or Give Me Five
Not sure which one is considered more valuable?
Which Karen grid should I use for damage
Dirty Fighting is pretty solid
Toxic Bite is valid but not the way I would build her
Depends on team comps
Have you ever checked the pins?
How do i build Lillie and Clefairy as a fairy striker
Sycamore is the only godforsaken fairy dps I have
sycamore is way better
Sadge
Mina
F2P Fairy is very sad
u would want something like this (but its absolute dogshit)
pretty sure this would be better
you dont really want mgr, this would maximize her damage
Ugh, still no builds for at least SS Wally
I guess fairy is pretty busted if you have SS wally (and 3/5 SS brendan) or mediocre if not
In the general pool i guess the best fairy damage options are Clefairy or Altaria
If you have Clefairy, Lillie Comfey is a lot better
Not to mention Granbull and Xerneas
Also, Altaria doesn’t synergize well with SS Wally
Only her sync doesnt synergize welll with him
How does it not?
Kinda does. Fairy sync damage with Wally and Lisia moonblasts are good
SS wally still feels like untapped potential to me.. kinda like bianca back when she first got released, we still don't have a over the top fairy striker for SS wally yet
Well Wally brings fairy to a new level by himself, he's doubling their damage
SMarnie and Diantha hit harder than any psychic not named SS Steven
Wally has the 3rd strongest sync in the game and it's not hard to set up
Wally and who?
I think nessa and maybe champion Iris maybe she was dethroned a while back I’m unsure
Right, that probably would have pushed those 2 higher up in Sync damage
With Alister I guess that will also change
Aren’t there only like 5 ghost techs
Morty cynthia allister agatha
And someone else
Oh her
Oh nice
Apart from eagle eye build, which one is the best grid for sync nuke for Kahili? All on them have a different tile which is useful under circumstances.
As long as you pick Haymaker and at least 2 BP sync nodes the rest doesn't matter much
Burn synergy 5, eagle eye 4, peck defense crush 4, sterner stuff tank pack
Pick whichever you like or build presets and use accordingly
For now I'll use the standard sync nuke preset. With 4 sync tiles.
Any 2/5 Sygna Suit Wally grids?
Just pick a 3/5 and do what you can
The doc that Spark has isn't updated yet. Only the Tier Lists in it.
I guess
Cause I was in vacation travelling. Updates will come when I'll have time for it 🙂
Should I use healthy healing cookie for 5/5 Jasmine/steelix ex?
Or is vigilance better?
Vigilance has a bit less value on Jasmine since she sets Critical Shield, but if you want the extra insurance policy you could get it
That's fair.
I assume his gauge is fine without the whimsical accel ?
Oh right
Enjoy your vacation man, this update is underwhelming imo anyways 
Especially since we now have 4/5 and 5/5 Grid tiles.
maybe people will build their own grids for once
Making grids is hard
I suck at making grids
Omg people are going to have even more anxiety trying to build a grid themselves 
Btw how does this grid look idk how to take cakewalk if I use him alongside PSerena it’s so secluded by bad stuff crying
The only interesting thing this update is... rebuff and fairy getting some long needed power in wally
I wouldn't take TM MPR and go for mighty rush 9 instead and not take drum beating mgr
I'd do this (considering you want to sync with Victor)
Alr thanks 🦑
You sweet summer child, if only... Would be better than the constant complaining about guides not being updated fast enough to fulfill their needs...
What should I grid with kris if I’m pairing Her alongside Aaron and may?
Since I no longer need accuracy buffs
Does this work
I still run vigilance on her, since her trainer move isn't unlimited
And most gauntlet boss, just love to spam crits later on
Yeah, like I said, it has less value, not zero
Dunno why I needed to be pinged for that, but eh, wasn't doing anything anyways
Forgot that reply pings too
They don't spam crits, they tend to get sure crits when new bars start/get to half bar hp, which you can time with her TM
Giving vigilance to her feels like that old mindset of "if it's a support it has to be vigilance"
I still have def crush on my jasmine as idk what else to give her
Jasmine even in gauntlet has never need vigilance as even if she doesn’t get TM MPR she has a lot of ways to remain alive even if she gets crit one shot 🦑
Wise entry 2
Oh right
I put wise entry 2 on mine, after mega she will get another set of spdef buffs
I not sure what to put on my Dawn though, but she currently have fierce entry 2...
Defense Crush 2 for general use
Wise Entry is good too
CS2 if you use her as side dps / nuker
Oh right maybe i will use dc2, i got no luck on wise entryx2 for her
While waiting for deluxe cookie luck
i personally use adrenaline on dawn
she's ex for me but if she takes damage before sync, power posture messes up quad queue
so adrenaline alleviates that
Mine has CS2. I almost never use her as tank in CS
Adrenaline would be the second best choice for her
I gave her rb4
One of the guaranteed cookies
I'm only using her in LG so I'd rather have her support gauge better
She's gonna mess up quad queue anyways
Does any1 here take SC Lillie's TMPropulsion4 node?
It's useful if you're fishing for -1 or you are using TM post first sync to balance her quad queue issue to ensure second sync
Coz I was thinking of also taking revenge boost 9 since she alr has team triage 9 and regen
Propulsion/heal sound like an interesting grid.
Yeah it does
Note that it also synergizes well with her flinch potential (as you can basically skip some turns with well timed combination, though a bit RNG ofc), so I tend to take it when I don't really need the extra ramp up and/or crit squad ^^
That's true we don't really need propulsion if we have flinch
So far every time I see SS Cyrus, he is used at 2/5 and not 3/5, what tiles make him so good at 2/5?
Personally I tossed that one candy on him for 2/5 cause of those tiles: Umbral Acceleration, DP Aggrav and MGR, Dark Void Fast Track and MGR
So basically a lot smoother gauge for the abusers to go ham. Pinpoint Entry also helps if you wanna Dark Void spam early. Grand Entry can also make him a bit more self sufficient if you care about that.
TL;DR: 2/5 has a bunch of good utility tiles to enhance his kit, 3/5 is more for damage (Sync and/or DP)
What he meant is her flinch proccing and assuming you queue last with her is a -2, so her TM giving a -1 combines into a -3, and countdown reduction is useful in multiples of 3
So you can use them together and it becomes a pseudo -3 countdown support
Idgi, why not just flinchlock the enemy then 🤔
