bronze dragon
But this was just an example of a unit being more valuable getting dupes than getting a new unit that isn't good just for the sake of getting something new
stark berry
But depends what's the end goal
bronze dragon
I'm not saying 2/5 is all what Lance wants
stark berry
Sometimes people pull just for the costume
stark berry
I don't get the point of people going 5/5 for units they like the costume however
Not that dupes makes the costume better
bronze dragon
If they ask you "what's better to pull this month" they don't expect you to say "ball guy because his costume rocks!"
stark berry
I mean if someone is a great fan of ball guy, for him it may be worth pulling it, not that this game has pvp or extremely difficult content
bronze dragon
That person wouldn't be asking you who to pull then
They'd already know who to pull
fading gulch
roll ball guy cuz hes not a stinky mf
stark berry
The only reason may be that you are twice as likely to get shafted with the neo champions
For meta reasons o guess is only worth to pull for busted units
And save candies for those units only
However i feel that the neo champions are mostly fine at 1/5
Maybe only Bede wants 3/5
However 1/5 Bede is still good
sly fulcrum
Does Bede really benefit that much more in 3/5 compared to the other two
bronze dragon
Bede is the one that wants dupes the least
1/5 is rolling, if your team uses gauge turn 1 you might want entry freebie that's all
round bridge
He also gets healing which helps in gauntlet, but his bulk is so high it might not be important
signal saddle
Bede grid is just QoL, don't even need it unless skill issue lol
echo crypt
confusion tiles are funny, in regular battles you use it what? like 1 time per cycle? if at all
sly fulcrum
Bede is the one that wants dupes the least
Yeah i thought so
bronze dragon
His healing is also rather situational: confuse can be denied in LG and recup 2 should only be used once
sly fulcrum
Nah im probably running bede with marnie and og gloria in a steel focused team
At least csmm wise
stark berry
Team super syncer is really good
Entry freebie is useful if you need to use gauges turn 1
bronze dragon
Well limited to ontype and restricted to be consumed immediately post sync
You're already giving 3 stacks of pmun and smun to your ontype damage dealer at 1/5
sly fulcrum
Idk... SEUN seems like a win more to me most of the time
i value the PMUN and SMUN more
bronze dragon
SE up skills is more for casual players who always ontype
sly fulcrum
Or huge box players that want to destroy more
bronze dragon
For players who use favs or aim for long streaks/challenges then MUN is more universal and valuable
bronze dragon
Or huge box players that want to destroy more
Yeah definitely, SE up is a total flex
west prawn
Hello guys what is marnies build?

Check the document in the pins

Team super syncer is really good

qn does charging confusion 9 work twice if 2 enemies are confused
likewise for curative confusion
sweet parcel
need to wait for showcases to confirm, but its likely no
cloud crane
qn does charging confusion 9 work twice if 2 enemies are confused
Since freezing glare is single Target it would work only once
bronze dragon
Doesn't matter how many targets
Did it hit a confused opponent?
-Yes: I heal
-No: nothing
placid heart
How much does it heal ?
bronze dragon
That does need to wait for release but expect something between 5-10%
placid heart
I see
stuck compass
Qn how impt is 3/5 for bede
stuck compass
Did it hit a confused opponent?
-Yes: I heal
-No: nothing
Based on that I was hoping it would check 3x on b freezing glare
stuck compass
Since freezing glare is single Target it would work only once
Ah I forgot that none of his moves are AoE.. ty
bronze dragon
Its not
And again just read the passive text
It's when it's successful against a confused opponent
stuck compass
Ya hence if there are 3,
It's not a "when it hits at least one confused opponent"
But I realise it's not AoE so I guess it doesn't matter
bronze dragon
When its attack is successful against a confused opponent
Was it successful this time, yes or no
stuck compass
Anyway since it's not AoE there is no longer a question

I gave him headstart 1
Wondering if i should candy anni may for 3/5
She gets sync countdown at 3/5
Good thing that most galar units have sync -1
Leon, gloria, dojo gloria, Gordie, Raihan, the other 2 birbs
bronze dragon
Anni Raihan, p Marnie, SS Leon
Nowadays there's so many -1 so yeah, HS1 is the lucky skill for Ch Bede
solid comet
Who should I spend my 2 strike candies and 4 tech candies on?
Worth noting, I don’t want to bother with 4/5 or 5/5 grids
gentle sun
Probably the wrong channel to ask this (I think #poma-questions is better), but no big deal.
Have you read the candy tier list? It might help narrow your options down a bit
solid comet
Yeah I have
I assumed this would be the right channel since it’s for sync grids, but I can ask there if it’s better
solid comet
Yeah but the units I like seem to more than do their jobs just fine at 1/5
SC Rosa has been struggling a bit tho
So yeah I think I’ll do her
vivid yoke
Thats usually how it goes
solid comet
Thanks
vivid yoke
I suggest looking for 3/5 nodes that really add a lot to a unit's gameplay
gentle sun
SC Hilda stands out a bit on Strike pairs since she’s already 2/5, so you could 3/5 her and then save until you can 3/5 another. Though I’ve also heard Emma gets a drastic boost at 3/5.
You can always take the approach of waiting until either you need to candy to clear something or if you feel a pair is struggling, as well
vivid yoke
Like if its just a sync nuke, thats probably not super worth
But sc rosa gets stuff like extra debuffs and free moves on her grid
solid comet

I don’t really have room for SC Hilda on my rock teams tbh

So I think Emma and SC Rosa are the plays

Does Posthaste 4 help at all with Cede's consistency
gentle sun
He shouldn’t have consistency issues if you’re ordering his moves well
clever thorn
It’s only really needed if you’re doing an lg solo
If anything, it makes him less consistent since you can’t quad queue without adren
bronze dragon
In LG you can just use confusion mgr9
Post haste 3 isn't doing much
In MM it can be considered a hindrance because it's a reactive passive
clever thorn
Most of the solos i’ve seen use posthaste ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can hit Adrenaline even while hitting Posthaste

clever thorn
I wasn’t saying you couldn’t
It’s just that Posthaste isn’t a good tile for cs
stuck compass
Does Posthaste 4 help at all with Cede's consistency
Yeah, you basically have almost no chance to use your moves. Assuming your team starts with hs3. It's b move->tm(free)->sync. Then tm->b move->tm(free)->sync
primal wasp
I wasn’t saying you couldn’t
It’s just that Posthaste isn’t a good tile for cs
So what you change then? Go for the Cure Route? I honestly don’t really care for it, like just don’t get statused mate
copper verge
Honestly there isn't anything he really needs, it's mostly up to you how you wanna specialize him (more tanking, confusion related stuff, adrenaline, team SE Up, etc..). You have some examples in the pinned doc, but really depends on where/how you plan to use him. Again he'll perform well with 0 tiles picked anyways
clever thorn
I think he’s fine without a grid, but i’d just take barricade buddies; it’s right next to it
I like the idea of recuperation 2, but it’s kinda far from anything else good. Same with adrenaline
copper verge
Yeah I like the "tanky grid" overall
yeah some tiles are pretty far you either commit to them or skip
Posthaste is really a tile I'd ignore in ALL instances though 
clever thorn
I’m literally only interested in 2 tiles lmao; everything else seems super niche or unnecessary
And to think that i was considering candying him 
copper verge
Yeah I don't really find Recup too interesting since I'll often Sync accel pretty fast meaning I don't take much dmg before first sync, but it's a very fine grid ^^
signal saddle
The only tile I like is adre. Double adre

It’s nice when they hit with a big 3 bar move, but even then that doesn’t happen all the time
Great against shadow ball especially
copper verge
Also funny how 99% of players just play on-type and no-one seems interested in Team First Super Sync
clever thorn
It’s too overkill
copper verge
well Bede is overkill in the first place then 
copper verge
HS is no brainer for me
I'm too used to supports giving -2
also his rotations are even better with early cycle-skips
clever thorn
Even if you can’t gapfill the last -1 accel, it’s still great to save his allies’s MUN for post sync

I just feel the super sync passives odd as you most of the time would just kill with sync and then you prolly wouldnt need one move boosted for 1.5x idk lel I dont like it and prefer on type lel
I feel the passive takes effect at an awkward time I mean
copper verge
Well it's more meant for pure DPS, Hyper Beam-like units or like a MAX move, a strong B-move etc.. Just to kill the stage without even a second Sync
I get what you mean though, people want the big overkill number on the final Sync, but yeah if playing on-type you're already kindof overkilling the stage regardless 
placid heart
overkill the best kind I dont find off type interesting lel unless I am using an already fun unit

Isn't overkill if you are trying to kill the stage with something like SS Brock rockslide
bronze dragon
His sync is strong enough to off-type in rock zone
So basically SE up next isn't overkill whenever you're in suboptimal conditions
Aka you're not a strong damage dealer and you're without zone/weather/terrain
That's why Red got called the support for weaklings
stark berry
His sync is strong enough to off-type in rock zone
If you have SS diantha i guess even his rockslide DPS is enough to offtype
bronze dragon
If a 1.5x is enough to off-type how is a 2x not enough to on-type 
stark berry
If a 1.5x is enough to off-type how is a 2x not enough to on-type <:WEEZing:7320...
Cuz isn't zone that helps, but b diamond storm
Or at least is a combination of both
bronze dragon
So... Bring a debuffer/rock damage dealer (?)
stark berry
I mean Brock won't offtype with eggmon rock zone
(not that eggmon rock zone exists, but it will offtype because SS diantha is op besides just rock zone)
bronze dragon
He should still be able to off-type with cakewalk sync and rock slides but that's besides the point
stark berry
I mean if you try to offtype with brock DPS, and you restrict yourself to not touch b diamond storm, you will have issues
My point is that if you just have cede and your roster isn't the bestest his Seun may help
Is overkill if you have busted units
stark berry
But isn't a given that people always have busted units
stark berry
What brendan has se up next?
bronze dragon
stark berry
Ah you mean used on him
Depends even on parameters
Personally i like to play super tush
bronze dragon
If you pick crit shield sure
stark berry
I'm talking about -3 presync
bronze dragon
Brendan kills stage ontype with sync
It was just an example of a non-busted unit who cruises on-type
bronze dragon
Then either adjust parameters or... Use a couple leafstorms
stark berry
My point isn't that Seun is needed, but that enables stuffs like -3 sync clears
You don't have to do it, like people don't have to solo stages
bronze dragon
And Lisia enables crit shield clears
If you're picking countdown parameters it's because you're rushing, so more of a reason for sync to be one shotting
stark berry
Never said defog is useless
bronze dragon
It's not useless but it's very not necessary, so is SE up next
stark berry
Never said is necessary
Just said isn't overkill
You just clear faster
Expecially if you don't have zones
At this point even zone is overkill
Is the same multiplier
bronze dragon
If it's not necessary it is overkill
bronze dragon
At this point even zone is overkill
For on-type sure
But zone is useful in 100% of content, SE up next is useful in 6% of content
stark berry
Maybe i'm a bit biased because i consider it i failure if i don't play with at least -2 sync
stark berry
In the end it depends on context
bronze dragon
SS Brock clearing offtype, just used 1 B Diamond Storm at the end to try and replicate what an "average" zone setter would supply
So if SS Brock can clear off-type restraining SS Diantha, imagine how well he clears on-type without needing her 
And after that imagine how unnecessary SE up next is even for a striker like SS Brock, and there's not many below him in power level
sly fulcrum
tired topaz
Is it just me, or the propulsion one is kinda "useless" compared to the other two?
bronze dragon
It can enable a turn shave along the -2 supports, HS1 Lucas etc
Like always, the whole point of getting -1 or -2 countdown is to combine it with something else
stuck compass
My lance is currently 2/5. I feel like I shld use at max 1 candy for him to benefit from the expanded grid.. shld I?
I do have zerena and cyrus for dragon
He's currently a sad potnite
bronze dragon
Going over 3/5 is only if you want to make him self sufficient
bronze dragon
But even then, if you're not going to make him self sufficient, it will be hard to have him max atk, therefore not much point syncing with him so 2/5 would be all you need
stuck compass
But idk I also appreciate the powercreep that masterfairs give
bronze dragon
Full accuracy I guess is something nice
stark berry
But even then, if you're not going to make him self sufficient, it will be hard ...
2/5 restricts team comps, since fully accuracy is on 3/5 grid
Unless you don't care about missing hyper beams
bronze dragon
That's like saying you wouldn't sync with a unit that doesn't have sure crit
stark berry
That's like saying you wouldn't sync with a unit that doesn't have sure crit
That's me
bronze dragon
tired topaz
It can enable a turn shave along the -2 supports, HS1 Lucas etc
At what level is HS1 lucas?
copper verge
Not on grid, only through LS. That's I run personally, very specific though, most people would prefer increasing dmg
bronze dragon
I run cs2 but hs1 makes a lot of sense, almost every dragon damage dealer has some sort of countdown
copper verge
yeah ^^
also pairs well with SS Brendan/SSA Cynthia/Ch Calem -2CD (grid+LS), which are good Support candidates for his comps

BP nodes are almost always better than stat nodes
Maybe the only times where stats are better is for really high BP moves on units with really low base stats

I think there is a confusion in that the "utility" grid is still damage, just that it differenciate from Sync grid by ignoring nuke and providing extra utility, but Marnie will always still be a dmg unit 😅

Raihan looks like an interesting pair but not sure if he should be applied to a Sand Team or a Sun Team

he can go on either but he is better in sand due to having 2 uses on it
max moves are once a fight
and sandstorm provides the move up next stacks gmax flare does not

Definitely not the second, don't invest on rock tomb
If you're on-type you can use the third ofc, although he doesn't need SE up next
So best is probably 1st
It also depends if you have SS diantha and ingo

Definitely not the second, don't invest on rock tomb
I have SS Diantha, but for Sandstorm i only have Acerola.

Then use SS diantha and a physical support that can interfere/debuff defense/master passive

This with Sonia for example

To add to the general advice of “the document in the pins has example grids for every Sync Pair”, when it comes to the options available, there is no true “best” option; you can use your 4 presets to get multiple of them built and swap around as needed

how goofy is this ss brendan grid
clever thorn
It’s nearly identical to the one i use lmao
fading gulch
yeah i just use him for cs so he gets all the acceleration and nothing else
placid heart
It’s the grid I use and it works very very well
bronze dragon
It's also in the pins 
sonic slate
dang, 1 energy off the grid i want for polteageist.
is propulsion even that big of a thing vs aggravation? those are the 2 tiles i cant simultaneously reach without sacrificing either ramped up or crit squad
also cant reach barricade buddies if i was to remove the bridge to propulsion as another option, off 1 energy there too
what ive been looking at so far
bronze dragon
Do you really need ramped up 1?
sonic slate
Do you really need ramped up 1?
i mean, technically i could go without in some comps, but it makes the setup faster with SS Ethan double strike comps for example.
being able to start aeroblasting turn 2 (turn 1 whirlpool+lillie tm, turn 2 lillie tm+aeroblast) + whatever the 3rd pair is doing
bronze dragon
I think in that case you don't need ramped up 1
Especially since you're looking to skip a turn, so there's no benefit in attacking turn 2
X SpAtk, TM
The 3 smun Aeroblast post support EX sync is as strong as a 3 smun Aeroblast + post support EX sync Aeroblast
sonic slate
Especially since you're looking to skip a turn, so there's no benefit in attacki...
Bit confused on your suggestion here. The only reason I’m not aeroblasting from turn 1 is this, and special next is additive to other multipliers… if Ethan isn’t syncing and I can keep up with gauge without it he has little reason to tm.
Am I just missing something…?
Like my plan is whirlpool into aero blast, not even touching Ethan tm unless he’s about to sync
bronze dragon
Ah ok well then up to you

Is sync grid a must for every pair?
its generally recommended, but not always required. some pairs have grids that barely do anything.
sonic slate
most pairs would like a grid, but if youre wanting to know ones you can skip on, generally you can ask about a unit and their move level here
and we can give you a minimalist grid if any
generally the most you take on a 1/5 is like, mpr or the rare time where 1/5 gives a multiplier or something
young narwhal
How much orbs did u use for that snorlax
sonic slate
How much orbs did u use for that snorlax
128 orbs (1280 
)
young narwhal
I should use grid for my main team bc I just start
sonic slate
alright whats your main team then
sonic slate
229 orbs on blastoise, doesnt benefit from much else at 1/5
id probably use Sycamore over Piers personally
sonic slate
probably fine for a minimalist grid, 361 orbs.
young narwhal
What about marnie
sonic slate
Champion Marnie doesnt really benefit much off her 1/5 grid so id just throw 15 orbs for the stats and dip
maybe grab dauntless if you want
like to resist Snarl spatk drops
young narwhal
Really thank you
sonic slate
Really thank you
also in that specific team, first sync would probably be Sycamore's, followed by Blue's, then Marnie starts syncing (unless you don't need Blue's teamwide endure, in which case Marnie starts from 2nd sync)
since sycamore maxes team spdef+speed off his sync
young narwhal
Yeah I noticed they have the same speed buff
zinc meadow
@young narwhal I think its better you use Skyla or Misty instead of Sycamore. Sycamore gives Sp Atk, which is better for other teams.
Redundancy is something to keep an eye out for.

are there any grids that i should doublecheck if ive done perhaps? like for a unit i might overlook if i havent peeked at the grid for?
cloud crane
Not sure what you mean with that picture. Wouldn't you be able to see the ones that haven't been gridded on your upgrade sync pair menu?
sonic slate
Give me a moment for that— didn’t think about that menu for a sec
Basically wanting to make sure I’m not sleeping on a unit that I shouldn’t be atm
Hit the grid wall in stuff like gauntlet and figuring if I knew who I might want to at least investigate might help me think of team ideas and such lol
cloud crane
Whoa. That's quite a few. Not sure how to narrow it down but shall mention a few imo
Marley, Lisia, Phoebe, Clemont, Elio, piers, Wikstrom, Fantina, Misty, Brock, Whitney, Candice, Liza, Cheryl, Will, Sophocles, Janine, Agatha, Shauntal, Erika, Viola, Nanu, Koga, Torchic, BP Clemont, BP Janine, BP Sophocles, Mina
Honestly since gauntlet and the grid all units have become useful
sonic slate
Clemont and elio I have mostly filled out, just a few tiles missing I think. I’ll look into some of the rest probably though.
I’m glad that there’s barely units missing grid anymore
Remember it being a huge issue back when I started
Where something would be like “you’d be good if you only had literally almost anything on the grid to slightly help you”

True. With gauntlet, there's also a place for almost everyone

sonic slate
my grids menu atm, elio and clemont are basically already gridded just not filled out RN
part of my indecisiveness here is not knowing how major LSerena is yet

her tm is buff block isnt it

wait she doesnt have anything to refresh?
copper verge
doesn't mean they can't use it

No she's more designed to do it once for the big stat steal and AoE dmg, and boom just nuke stage is dead
copper verge
yeah
spring belfry
oh i mean LA
copper verge
yeah that's pretty much the niche
but even then, it's more about getting it at the key moment than extending it imo
spring belfry
i like the fact u can use b night slash right away
spring belfry
but even then, it's more about getting it at the key moment than extending it im...
like when bar 2 or 3 starts right
copper verge
depends on the stage yeah
some that have bar-change buffing or a big mid fight buff etc..
Just steal and block at the time then you're good
copper verge
which is plenty enough for you to farm another sync and finish
spring belfry
shes like literally the way better version of grimsley lmao
elfin crypt
How much flinch chance is staggering 9?
round bridge
You have to use it around bar 1, since the activation is Dark Rebuff

round bridge
You can use it bar 2 if someone else kills bar 1, or you quad queue after zinnia sync
spring belfry
yea
elfin crypt
Oh but no way for Steven to recoup his MP. Oh well
copper verge
3 hits guaranteed flinch ain't bad still
round bridge
He already had 60% on a stronger move
copper verge
it's just a little awkward considering he was already a flinch machine with IH
round bridge
But its nice for move gauge too for Bullet Punch to flinch
copper verge
but well 
it's some flexibility I guess; They just went more into his tank/hybrid aspect
instead of dumb dmg
which I understand is sad for meta-simps, but you have plenty enough good dmg dealers already
echo crypt
hard to justify that ridiculous investment for that tho 
granted the actual Steven simps will likely have him at 5/5 already
echo crypt
yeah, I mean spending potentially 4 candies
copper verge
Investment should only come from enjoyment anyways so that's up to the player
echo crypt
fair
round bridge
At least 2/5 got Tough Sync 3
copper verge
it lines up well with his rotation at least 🙂
spring belfry
steven 5/5 lol pmarnie can do that in 1/5
copper verge
people's expectation were just too high, now everyone in copium lul
copper verge
well be happy that you good ones on those
spring belfry
still think latias has one of the worst 4/5 and 5/5
copper verge
better than everyone getting trash stuff 
spring belfry
barely any significant
echo crypt
indeed, although mine are both 1/5 still
spring belfry
bogo 9 psychic wish like come on
copper verge
Yes Latias was the worst, just that she sounded fine regardless
Steven needs his horizontal grid expansion for better impact. People kinda forget Cynthia and Lance got both ^^
spring belfry
he doesnt have?
copper verge
No he only has the vertical buffs
spring belfry
ohh
copper verge
horizontal will bring free stats + cheap multiplier tiles
spring belfry
might have 2nd update like cynthia ig
copper verge
yeah except she got it in the other order
and for some reason Lance got both at the same time lol
spring belfry
ohh
copper verge
Horizontal is more impacting for old units imo. Cause it's always cheap and effective
Vertical is more about going further in their niche / adding shenanigans
spring belfry
oic
elfin crypt
Oh dang you’re right the sides are blank
round bridge
I would build this for Zinnia

Pretty much for Full Sync yes
drop topleft quadrant for topright if going for some extra Crunch dmg/DC and/or staggering hit for utility
since the sync is already super overkill

sonic slate
Is there not much zinnia tiles that can help her dragon ascent build? Surprised it takes grand entry and sync bp tiles

- You need to sync to access Dragon Ascent, so its worth boosting that

sonic slate
Rip.
Should I still keep her on dauntless lucky for when I use the Draco build or will I probably not need that build anymore

Its probably worth switching since you can get by on Outrage
hollow geyser

elfin crypt
Hmm so far from the battles SCteven has been in I never needed to sync with him haha. Is it particularly powerful if I build him that way?
sweet parcel
yeah you can build him as a sync nuker, but its more worth to use allies' super effective boosted sync instead
elfin crypt
Aye thought as much thanks
cyan obsidian
Steven and Metagross' Sync Grid in that PomaTools thing is weird, since it has Unflappable above Speed +5 and Tough Sync 3 under Defense +5, but in the game, they're blank holes.

No best grid exist, the best grid exist base on how well u adjust it to who u are using it with

Any optimal SC Steven builds?
clever thorn
Spark hasn’t updated the list yet
Sometimes I wonder what people would do without him
signal saddle
sceven grid is simple tbh, as long as you get tm mpr and mf9, rest dont really matter
clever thorn
Honestly, i don’t even think he needs a grid
bronze dragon
It depends on what you want him to do
The point is there's no optimal grid, especially for a toolbox unit like this
elfin crypt
Yeah after staring at his grid for some time I don’t think it really adds anything astounding haha. Other than nuking if you wanna
The bit that confuses me is… why the sand nodes
bronze dragon
Stoutland has Sand Rush in main games
bronze dragon
His grid does give him good things tho:
-50% flinch
-Restore MP on sync
-Mighty Friend 9
-The MPR2s
-Other things like team freebies, 50% confusion or accuracy debuffs
stark berry
I feel that Steven Holmes is perfectly fine even at 1/5
bronze dragon
Again, it depends on what you want him to do
He's totally fine at 1/5 if you want him to buff your on-type damage dealers
But still his grid unlocks very good things
tulip moat
gentle sun
What, you mean ranking? He’s definitely solid at worst, he boosts physical damage-dealers very well
Assuming you mean SC Steven
Regular Steven really just got Tough Sync at 2/5 and nothing else of significant value
bronze dragon
Inb4 they meant Lodge Steven
gentle sun
Lodge Steven is a weird one, tbh. He seems decent and is also now our most accessible special Rock damage option
placid heart
Most accessible locked behind a pokefair
gentle sun
One who’s always available, as opposed to the only other actual damage-dealer option C. Blue
I didn’t say he was easily accessible
Obviously not worth going for regular Steven purely for Lodge Steven, though
bronze dragon
I don't think being special or physical matters
If anything, people just want to cover the type and that's it
Like what's the point of being best special if Roark is doing idk 5 times your dps
placid heart
even against wise entry x2 (rock Malva for example)? Lel
gentle sun
It’s technically relevant for Rock weak Malva, but it’s more a “huh, neat” thing than anything
bronze dragon
You can have Sentry Entry X2 and Roark will still be way better
gentle sun
Regardless, I’ll definitely be testing him out once I get him
bronze dragon
Once you are being super effective you have to be a very bad damage dealer to not clear the stage, no matter the added passives
gentle sun
Swag Bag 8 is funny, if nothing else
bronze dragon
Yeah you can easily end the stage with omni +6
gentle sun
Might be fun to screw around with a Bertha + Lodge Steven + tank comp
Very impractical, but fun
bronze dragon
Don't focus on stealth rock, 2 uses should be enough for his nukes unless LG
Bertha + L Steven is very bad DPS
gentle sun
The idea in that team is that Bertha handles the Stealth Rock so Steven can do nothing except spam Ancient Power and Sync, which is why I said it’s very impractical
bronze dragon
L Steven has good benefits from using Stealth Rocks himself
Sure Crit and SEup next
gentle sun
Yeah
placid heart
Once you are being super effective you have to be a very bad damage dealer to no...

Best grid for 2/5 ss Brendan
sonic slate
Best grid for 2/5 ss Brendan
i mean...thats a very subjective question i imagine, like are you using him in psychic zone for example
sweet parcel
at 2/5 the best tile he gets is TM MPR
sonic slate
you should be able to reach all the important tiles if you are, if you arent just replace the PT tiles with whatever you want id imagine
sweet parcel
so pick that tile and pick whatever tiles left depends on the situation
sonic slate
think the only important things are the two mprs, one for potions one for tm
cyan obsidian
Why are Critical Strike 2 and Head Start 1 listed together on Bede & Hatterene's recommended Sync Grid, when you can have only one Lucky Skill?

It just means either is good

Hey, so, 90% accuracy is good on Draco meteor on Zinnia/Rayquaza??
This what I thought was good but apparantly weather surge without accuracy tiles better??

so... i got lucky and pulled Detective Shauna in the 300 gem special scout. Now ...
Do you have SS Brendan?
sonic slate
idk if +almost 20k raw (~291k > ~307k is worth getting the aeroblast bp tiles for SS Ethan
(on that note surprised that +5 spatk is +4k raw)
jeez i can push it to 320k if i go the +20 spatk tile too
i just dunno if +10 aeroblast bp is that big of a deal
also wonder if double aeroblast mgr is worth considering on 2/5 lugia
like, i could do this, or i could drop a mgr for +4 more aeroblast bp for example.
mines lv150 ex'd
312>320 raw is +4 bp difference, apparently
cause now that i know aeroblast spam is good, im really considering that double mgr build more.
merry onyx
remember that depending on which is higher between the attacking stat and bp of the move, you should pick up the opposite
ss erika has low attack but a high bp move, so you'd rather attack nodes than solar blade nodes
and vise versa for something like maybe ss korrina, who has a 2 gauge move but a super inflated attack stat to reconcile
crystal bay
Ηow do you calculate the bigger stat between att/spa and BP of moves?
bronze dragon
Compare the difference
New stat/old stat
New BP/old BP
Whichever is bigger is the one you should pick
pallid oak
Do you have SS Brendan?
Yes, i do have ss brendan 3/5
People do say pal-mallow is budget SS brendan
pallid oak
And that i will do, i managed to pull her on a daily, so 2/5 now. I save one candy 
Any shauna grid suggestions (3/5)? There’s none listed atm in Spark’s site

Since the pin list isn’t updated does anyone know any decent 2/5 or 3/5 SCSteven builds? I’m getting him to 3/5 because I love Steven but I’m not sure what’s best for him.

You can try messing around with pomatools to find a grid you like and ask for a rating here if you want
sick musk
depends very much on what you plan to do with him
will he be a support? a nuker?
i use this grid if I don't intend to sync with him and he's basically acting as a support
his base kit is excellent so this doesn't really add much, it's more MP refreshes and additions to his TM
Mighty Friend 9 is very worthwhile, you can shift the other nodes around at will
signal saddle
Probably don't plan to sync with him
sick musk
that is fair feedback from Gakon, re-did it
this one is a lot more hyper-offensive since you've lost Safety Tether to get Restraining Sync
sick musk
Probably don't plan to sync with him
then I'd play around with the first grid

I'm planning to use for Shauna, but you can take tfe1 for sth else if you don't need it

as an alternative, i like this grid - i wanted Endurance and RSS9 and built around that
bronze dragon
Imo MF9 and TM Mpr2 are a must in a 3/5 SC steven grid
I've been playing extensively with him and I never felt like I would sync with him
stark berry
Whichever is bigger is the one you should pick
Yes and no, for att/spa you should consider also gears and potentially theme skills
In most cases BP > stats
bronze dragon
That's still part of new stat/old stat
stark berry
I guess only units with terrible stats benefits more from stats than bp
I mean terrible stats + high BP moves
Or nukers
If you plan to nuke, stats will boost the sync too, while BP of the move just boosts the dps
A prime example of an unit that really cares about attack nodes is SS erika

Thanks for this, yeah this seems better for what i intend for her. I just wish there’s a way to get all three of Ret Stats Steal 9 + Team Stat Steal 4 + Team Gimme Five, but i dont think it is possible, tried tinkering in pomatools.
signal saddle
It's possible if you skip debut regen
I'm planning to do this of the striker can +6 atk instead of +4
But RSS9 isn't a team buff, so I'm not so stressed about getting it
bronze dragon
Imo her main appeal is not to buff the team but to debuff the opponent
signal saddle
Yeah, then you can use that grid
sick musk
Yeah, I want her at max debuffing abilities!
stark berry
She's great for gauntlet, but random debuffs aren't the bestest for cs
sweet parcel
Her kit is made for LG anw. We already have plenty of crit supports
old niche
Shauna is good overall right?
placid heart
Ye def
old niche
I got her 1/5 thinking if I should just candy or pull her one more time
placid heart

Don’t candy her she’s a gen pool but she has a good amount of her kit available to her at 1/5 due to having sync burst so she does not require TM MPR like@most crit buffers do she’s a solid ex candidate even at 1/5
Unless you mean SCshauna than my apologies
old niche
I meant SC Shauna
sweet parcel
Pulling for dupes isnt recommended
She is fine at 1/5 but 3/5 improves her utility a lot

does SS Brendan gain much from 2/5 because i just got to scout points on the May banner and could 4/5 may but im not really sure which would be better
i assume may doesn’t really need the 4/5
but i didn’t see anything too great on brendans 2/5 grid so wanted to see if anyone had different opinions
sweet parcel
SS Brendan wants 3/5, so getting to 2/5 first saves you a candy
and yeah May doesnt need 4/5
her 4/5 and 5/5 grid tiles are bad
sweet parcel
silent dragon
glad i got may i can finally retire bianca 🥹
annoyed it was right at scout points but we move
sweet parcel
having May means you have 2 Psychic terrain teams

oh god now i gotta have a thought on who i wanna 3/5 more when i get a candy brendan or bede 😭
sweet parcel
Brendan wants 3/5 more
silent dragon
oh yeah im looking at it now you right definitely liking his 3/5 more
cerulean egret
Anyone got a suggestion for a Steven and Stoutland 3/3 build?
bronze dragon
gentle sun
Tbf the doc isn’t updated yet
elfin crypt
I focused mostly on the lower left section of SCteven’s grid
Ignored all the sync nodes since I’m not syncing with him
bronze dragon
Oh I was convinced it was updated my bad

Not needed in 90% of scenarios. Confusion is too unreliable to be good against most mids
It can be good against enemies with acute senses or with allies with certain multipliers
cunning fox
Does OG blue Not have special attack mp refresh?
I See two for the Trainer Move
Not not for x special attack
sweet parcel
yeah he doesnt
cunning fox
Well damn
Folks for dire hit + mp refresh and he can’t even get one for special attack
echo crypt
I mean, you should be bringing a support to help him with that anyway...
just because a pair can buff a certain stat themselves, doesn't mean they should spend a ton of turns doing so
cunning fox
I’m doing a half mp CS run
echo crypt
you'd rather delegate some of that so they can attack sooner
that really doesn't change anything
cunning fox
I was thinking about what supports could set him up the fastest. And I was thinking “could he get mp refresh to reach +4 by himself”
The answer was no
So I’ll need to bring someone for defense and someone for offense
I Just won’t have enough turns before he needs to sync
bronze dragon
Turns for what

anyone have recommended build for phanpy at 3/5 ?

Do you have any teammates in mind?

What direction did you choose ?
zinc meadow
I’m working on it, but if you’re gonna do 3/5 and do only potion stuff, it is not worth going for 3/5 in the first place, or it just makes the grid useless
I’m trying to go for more of the 
tiles
It seems you can do one with sand or one without, I think.
The possibilities are quite interesting 
clever thorn
Why wouldn’t you take sterner stuff
zinc meadow
I have this one atm
I think Freevenge could be taken off, but finding a replacement for that one alone is tough
echo crypt
always lovely when they put Vigilance in very inconvenient places lol
zinc meadow
Yeah that side was……not worth it.
echo crypt
also, as usual, they aren't very consistent because for her it's 10 energy, but for some others it's 6...
zinc meadow
I’d rather take Sync Damage Guard, but it’s 10 energy and I’m left at 9 
gentle sun
This is a potential example for if you can fit her on a Sand team
