I'm just theory crafting for potential Bug weak UB.
it's moreso "how interesting will this be?" over "My bug types are too weak"

A potential Bug UB might need some very specific anti-gimmicks (like any other UB) regardless so the theory might have to change. If you're just having some fun min-maxing for high points MM on-type it's totally fine, otherwise just wait for the actual stage you're considering and you'll see

Why do you sometimes want Sundering Burn on Hilda over Propulsion?
gentle sun
Propulsion generally doesn’t do a ton unless it’s placed alongside other forms of Sync accel
So if the only form of Sync accel would be SS Hilda’s Propulsion tile and there isn’t something that would make the -1 more appreciated (such as a Max Move from an ally) then it’s not really as worthwhile as it would seem on paper
Though generally speaking both Propulsion and Sundering Burn trend towards the more niche end of SS Hilda’s grid tiles since Sundering Burn will usually require a teammate to apply the Burn or require the extra grid investment of Searing Shot Hostile Environment
strange flax
Ah okay. This whole sync grid stuff is very confusing to me still 😂 like I’m looking at SS May Blaziken now and I don’t get why Inertia is needed when she isn’t self proccing for that
gentle sun
Inertia is a Sync modifier and SS May can get a decent portion of it on her own
strange flax

If you tunnel vision on things the Sync Pair can fully enable on their own then you’re likely to miss out on a lot of good grid tiles

Whats peoples thoughts on barry/heracross sync grid? The top right side looks impressive
gentle sun
SC Barry is probably gonna want to be focusing primarily on the left side of his grid in a lot of cases outside of maybe Ramming Speed. He has a pretty strong incentive to Sync due to how his kit works and so his Sync modifiers become important
Punishing Strike is definitely nice, but it may be hard to fit into most grid setups

Rika’s grid primarily has survivability enhancements (for herself and the team), so a lot of the standard tiles like Vigilance, Endurance, First Aid, etc. are good options, as would the Shielded tile for her Trainer Move.
Depending on the team and/or stage there’s also more situational tiles such as Ground Zone Extension/Ground Zone Damage Reduction, Team Sharp Entry, Potent Toxin, and Noxious Hit
For Lucky Skill it’s pretty standard Support fare (Vigilance, Adrenaline, etc.) + her unique Cookie for Initial Synchro Healing
I highly encourage you to try out some different grid setups to see what works best for your personal needs and preferences

what's a good grid to make Akari a tank?

I don’t think you’d want to run Akari as a tank outside of hyper offensive teams where you probably kill too fast for the lower bulk to be all that important anyway
Or Battle Rally where you just abuse the stat boosts to tank with anyone

Battle Rally.
I... have NO optiosn other than to use her as a tank and keep normal boost active or bring in one of my striek tanks and forfeit the boost again.
Strike/Field stage.
gentle sun
If Akari is tanking in Battle Rally you likely shred through the stage regardless
Because if that’s the bulkiest pair on the team you’re outputting stupid amounts of damage in Rally
Regardless, outside of Potion tiles she literally only has 1 survivability tile
So I guess that
round yoke
should I bring up the area for reference?
gentle sun
I mean, it doesn’t change the situation
Akari only has 1 tile outside of Potion tiles that’s survivability-oriented

To note, this would be if I candied Akari.
since... she's still 1/5 but she's my only option for field candies.

I can’t say I’d recommend candying a pair for a single Battle Rally run

I appreciate a grid that has simple, very well aligned paths you can diverge from with ease, without having to chew through random bs. I don't even think it's the most intensely OP grid or anything, it's just very easy to tailor.
Plus, literally every move level is kinda good? You get your TM MPR at 1/5, 2/5 is a totally valid full grid (that can still somehow utilise energy expansion fine), 3/5 increases your flexibility and potency overall nicely, 4/5 offers good nodes that perfectly blend with the rest of the grid (also prob best works w/ energy expansion), and 5/5 isn't too bad for people who appreciate Endurance/Sunburst (though I'd pass) 
Oh yeah, and the last thing I wanna say simping for Shorty's grid: 4/5 w/ Crit Squad 1 was the addition I was most partial to, which was nice, but it took me a min to realise I played him inefficiently, out of habit. Rather than Flame Charge > Sunny Day > TM (only +1 Crit by 1st sync prior to Crit Squad, +2 otherwise), I could now TM (+1 Crit) > Sunny Day > TM (+3 Crit by 1st sync)

it's more general than that, doesn't have to be regarding exclusively to a fighting team, getting a -1 from somewhere else is not gonna be that hard, acceleration is decently common nowadays, so it's the same idea if you go with that no matter the team she's in

I’ve had 2/5 SS Kris for the longest and didnt have any issues so far… i’m now 4x support candies hoarded, does she really need the 3/5? Like, in this HSE event, where does her 3/5 grid make a difference?
placid heart
I’ve had 2/5 SS Kris for the longest and didnt have any issues so far… i’m now 4...
I would say 3/5 does make a pretty significant difference in SSKris's performance, firstly you unlock MPR's for rain dance and mini potion which are insanely useful for long form content as well as brine stoic. Limited special boost is also really great for other content too. Her 3/5 is especially good for HS BR and I would assume UB's that her 2/5 would not allow for
Reason's to not 3/5 her would be you have other better supports like NCBlue already 3/5's who is just a strict upgrade and SSKris while a good support for water teams I dont feel as though she is the best in that regard due to lack of extension and can still be pretty frail at times, but I could be wrong in that regard

i think Poppy is one of the those pairs who will be perfectly fine at 1/5, if you just use her as DPS. Most of the 3/5 stuff is improving the sync damage, but nothing for Gigaton Hammer (not that this move needs it lol)
elfin crypt
Isn’t she at 1/5 the same as a 3/5 Steven?
bronze dragon
I don't know what you mean by that
Gigaton Hammer at 1/5 is better than whatever Steven does at any move level
stark berry
The only thing Steven has over poppy is flinch and more survivability
bronze dragon
Even then, it's a chance to flinch (aside 3 uses of weaker Buller Punch) while Poppy has sure paralysis, which is a better sabotage than flinch
And survivability of Steven has always been iffy to me because yeah a striker having Recuperation 2 is sweet but the guy has 600 HP at max potential
stark berry
Generally isn't paralysis used just for passives? Don't most enemies have lessen paralysis 8? I guess paralysis Is fine for sides that generally don't have paralysis mitigation, but I can't imagine paralysis being a better sabotage than 60% flinch
bronze dragon
It is, since it's a permanent status change and stages are often more counter gimmicked by paralysis than flinch
And whenever they're susceptible to flinch, they're often developing either immunity or resilience

It does look like a good grid but if a stage has smth like unflappable I would take furious brawn over staggering which is something to keep in mind. It is a shame that w/o 4/5 you cant grab Evasion Sync over recovery 1

@simple wadi moving here since it's a bit too crowded in #poma-questions
@simple wadi i'm going to give you a non-capped grid and a 60 cap grid.
First one is 64 energy, second is 60.
the first one will be a bit more comfortable in terms of damage due to on a roll making cakewalk more prominent, however if you don't want cakewalk and more DPS.
you can swap between strong start 1 or TMove SMUN 2

brittle fog
Anyone got an idea for a grid for sync Nuke penny but only as 3/5?
gentle sun
Nothing from Penny’s 5/5 actually boosts her Sync Move damage
The reason we generally say Penny doesn’t benefit much (if at all) from Strike cake until 5/5 is because of the extra Rebuff on Sync from 5/5
If you just want the extra damage then it’s the usual business of Sync base power tiles + whatever Sync damage modifier(s) she has
brittle fog
Is this the closest I can get at least?
gentle sun
It hits the Sync base power tiles and her only Sync modifier
So if you’re just going for Sync nuke you hit what you needed to
If Penny’s the only one buffing you could consider something like this, I guess:

If +3 crit before 1st Sync is desired then swap the MGR and a Disarming Voice base power tile for Team Sharp Entry
brittle fog
Currently if I stick to sycamore over lodge lillie, the crit is already maxed, which probably would do cause it's funnier to me
Oh yeah burgh too is there so yeah crits are already done

Real quick, if you’re new then with only a few exceptions you should be ignoring grids for 1/5 pairs
1/5 doesn’t offer anything of particular value for most pairs and it’s better to save the orbs for pairs who’ll get more benefit out of them

On the other hand, there’s often very little reason to raise pairs to 5/5. The majority of the grid is unlocked by 3/5

Alternatively if you don't want to go -4, drop Hyper Drill: MGR9 and just take the path of Hyper Drill +2 BP & Hyper Drill MGR3 path.

Hey guys, i just started a few days ago and i manage to get 3/5 masked royal & incineroar, and i need a second opinion on this sync grid that i’ve built for him, thank you
merry onyx
I'd do this
He's primarily a damage dealer and a pretty good one at that with the right support
The bottom sync tile is a little expensive to get to so I just wouldn't bother with it, or bob and weave, unless you have a support to specifically help him max it
bronze dragon
Picking BP tiles is better than picking a 3rd multiplier, especially if it's a slow windup one like Insult to Injury
Although energy wise the easier to drop is Ramming Speed
feral kelp
I’m running him with larry and tierno & crawdaunt
I use larry for most of the damage and incin as like a secondary attacker
willow slate
I’m running him with larry and tierno & crawdaunt
He's going to be the primary damage dealer and nuker after Tierno support EX or not. so do pick up sync multipliers. The one gommy sent is good for pecking order + sync move BP tiles (and some DPS in Ramming Speed)
No need for evasion boosting ones that do not amplify damage such as Ridicure

high orbit
I have 999,999 sync orbs. What are some good grids with extra energy in general?
sweet parcel
I recommend looking into your faves and pairs you use frequently first
high orbit
how about the non gen pool 3/5+ pairs? and if there are gen pool pairs that are good with more energy then them too.
i sorted by move level
gentle sun
Literally 90+% of the Sync Pairs in the game get significant benefit from the extra energy, we cannot make an exhaustive list (or really any meaningful list, for that matter). I would highly advise taking some time to think on a few pairs you really like or use frequently and seeing if extra energy would get anything extra you want to have
The Sync Orb investment is a massive resource cost, so it’s also better to look for things that would benefit you personally rather than just copy-paste what people consider “the best”
willow slate
You can sift through your 5/5 pairs and see if they have any passives you like
They usually cost 10 energy so that lines up nicely orb wise
sweet parcel
or even 3/5 - 4/5 pairs who you frequently use
that's my approach to look for who is worthy to uncap energy
i have a ton of them uncapped
short heron
Heck i can literally only name a handful of pairs that i sunk into that are even worth the cost
Oh Cynthia

Is this anni skyla or normal skyla you're talking about? OG can buff allied speed to +6 with one mpr
violet locust
Normal
Yeah after that it’s fine
I’ve been wanting to switch her out for a spatk buffer since it takes ethan 3 turns to get rolling
But i’m a new player so my sync pair knowledge is limited
merry onyx
You could drop sync thinker for grand entry like this
mint orchid
Would this be the highest damage grid for ethan
fair saffron
Does anyone have a support grid for Kabu that is 3/5? All of the utility grids in the google doc that say 3/5 are actually for 5/5
The only 3/5 grid is for sync nuke and I was hoping to build him more as a support
Unless he is supposed to be run as a sync nuker?
gentle sun
The Sync nuke grid also has Flag Bearer, but more importantly you can just take the Sync nuke grid as a base and replace the damage stuff with desired utility tiles from his grid if you wanna go full utility
Kabu unfortunately has somewhat limited utility in his grid before 5/5, that might be why the only true 3/5 grid is more damage-oriented
fair saffron
That’s fine, tbh I just did one multi for kicks because of next month, and ended up getting him, I’ll just do the sync nuker grid
placid heart
Would this be the highest damage grid for ethan

I double candied her for staggering on Water Gun, and crit on TM can be useful. Also gets Head Start, Impervious, and more healing for Recover plus MPR. Does she NEED those? She seems strong enough from base, but I found it more than worth it.

Need? No
But when you find the correct situation, Imperv and HS1 can be borderline irreplaceable
But for general use, I wouldn't say that makes or breaks SAcerola

esp if you're (realistically) gonna be resetting for tm mpr just for the +6 speed, i would only take 2 of the 3 options that give him more gauge

You can also ignore the Attack on Max Move and run an external Attack buffer if you don’t wanna unlock the energy cap

You’d probably have to drop Max Move Attack Up 2 or the Sync Node if you don’t want to boost energy

I see u have pyro ball selected. Would I get rid of that and do bounce?
I’m fine unlocking 1 energy cap

The Pyro Ball tiles are purely to reach Haymaker
So if you have a way to reach it that works better for your preferences then go for it

How’s this?
On a Flying Grid you should avoid that top sync tile, it only boosts Fire Impact and costs 7 energy
It saves 2 energy which isn’t a lot but you can take a HP+10 and Attack+5

I just checked the updated sync grids doc and i noticed something, specifically with Elio (Alt.), why his exclusive lucky skill is not listed? because it will be gone by the time the event is over and new players wont be able to get it?
since he has vigilance on his grid (though requires 5/5) his exclusive lucky skill could be used in conjuction
glacial imp
It's not particularly ideal, but we're also deliberating on including those cookies where applicable.
While Vigilance is available on the grid, it's expensive and often not worth the energy unless you take specific guards.
thick zealot
i.e. https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/12201/80500?s=5&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=17046900&g=AAECAwQFCAoLHh8gIiUrLjE&x=true could definitely use his exclusive for extra tankiness
thick zealot
While Vigilance is available on the grid, it's expensive and often not worth the...
that's for sure, but could still be a worthwhile option no?
glacial imp
It becomes highly specific, and we're trying to recommend something more "general"; but your feedback is noted and we'll include the specific cookies for him and the other pairs if we find them worthwhile (for instance, alt Iris has no business running hers, it's a waste)
Thanks!
thick zealot
same can be said about Akari's new exclusive lucky skill which is actually pretty good
if the good exclusive lucky skills will be included i have nothing to complain about, of course the bad exclusive lucky skill (Selene Alt. i.e.) should definitely not be included
glacial imp
Akari's new skill isn't really ideal even for accelerating drops
over more damage, ramp and other choices
but again, we can include them for better reference
thick zealot
true, but definitely a good option for new players that managed to grab it and have no other lucky skill cookies available no?
since unlike some of the exclusive lucky skills, this one may have a use
glacial imp
Which is fine, just that not all of the cookies would still be preferred, and we're also having a trend where
unless the unit is new
you don't get these cookies for older pairs on-demand
and they might be tied back to event reruns
So considering that these cookies might not be available in the first place is also important
thick zealot
true, i wonder how dena will handle those exclusive lucky skills in case ppl missed them
hopefully they will include those in an event rerun (unlikely imo), or give us an option to buy them with coins or something, just like we can buy 3* gears by farming co-op

Likely rerun

dumb question: Is it just me or is Victor (Rillaboom) grid kinda useless?
like, I look at all his grid and I was like...ok cool
bronze dragon
It's not great, Victor itself as a unit isn't already
But definitely not useless, can't be a useless grid as a pokefair with expansion
winter quiver
Well yeah but like I am not gonna 5/5 him for free horsepower kick
gentle sun
4/5 and 5/5 tiles are different, they’re usually less important tiles to have
winter quiver
True, but I heard some units pop off with 4 and 5/5 (lloks at SS Mina Elaine and SS N)
gentle sun
Those pairs tend to be the exceptions rather than the rule
bronze dragon
Well yeah but like I am not gonna 5/5 him for free horsepower kick
You said his grid and I didn't say anything about that node, which I don't know why you mentioned because why would you click High Horsepower
bronze dragon
Those pairs tend to be the exceptions rather than the rule
Nah there's several of them
Elio and Selene just now
merry onyx
You said his grid and I didn't say anything about that node, which I don't know ...
for bulu solo
winter quiver
LMFAO
But yeah u're right, Dhogmise, I'm sorry. I just look at his entire grid and only that one strikes me as "Oh a good node"
bronze dragon
Cakewalk, Hunter's Instinct, MAX Slip Up 2 are the pack of multipliers + set up
Mighty Rush 9 is fine too
High Horsepower BOGO 9 is pointless because you shouldn't be clicking High Horsepower
BP for max move is also good

dumb question
but I got Elio (alt) to 3/5
and I feel like it's kinda lacking?
meanwhile the 4/5 and 5/5 seems important cause it extend his zone and circle duration
is it weird for me to see it as that?
like he could be better at 4/5 and 5/5, meanwhile 3/5 feels like a limbo
thick zealot
You're half right, while 3/5 is more than enough, getting 4/5 and 5/5 makes him better, but that is my subjective opinion
so it pretty much depends on your own views of is 3/5 enough or not
or is 4/5 and 5/5 good enough to warrant getting that unit that high
winter quiver
imo, I think his selling point is his circle and zone setting
so it's worth setting him to 5/5 to extend the niche
at 3/5
he just looks like another tank?
thick zealot
that was my opinion as well, hence y i got him to 5/5 XD
thick zealot
in my case i got lucky enough to get all 5 copies by scout points
winter quiver
I can't pull anymore
timid marten
I got to 4/5 myself on pity. I'd candy but waiting till anni to decide
winter quiver
I...need to save candy for anni and HSE
I have too many supports that need the candy
thick zealot
unless one is certain of wanting a unit at 4/5 and 5/5 it's better to hold off on candying
winter quiver
so I can't just throw them around willy nully
I am certain to get Elio to 5/5
but
...not now
not when Anni is close
and HSE as well
I'm still building Rika to 3/5
thick zealot
if your elio is already 3/5, i suggest to hold off on candying him
winter quiver
yeah Imma do that
my rock type roster is good enbough for now
haizzzzzz, I really hate it when my units are at a limbo like this
bronze dragon
like he could be better at 4/5 and 5/5, meanwhile 3/5 feels like a limbo
In general we should move away from thinking that units' sweet spot is at 3/5
Elio is a unit that gets a big jump after 3/5
winter quiver
So where is the sweet spot? More like, is there even a sweet spot
bronze dragon
Well he wants those expansion nodes
So his is at 5/5
But not every unit has the same sweet spot, there's units like Tower Leon that are kind of in empty land at 3/5
winter quiver
But not every unit has the same sweet spot, there's units like Tower Leon that a...
I still believe that guy sweet spot is 5/5
bronze dragon
Tower Leon? 4/5
winter quiver
Huh? The free move doesn't tempt u?
bronze dragon
No
About 500 speed unit who gets paired with very fast units in his preferred teams
No need and no energy

Ok now I need to go, I jusy bought fields of mistra and I am so excitwd to try it

Completely irrelevant to anything, but was just looking over 1/5 Poke Fair grids for fun and

A 1/5 grid where you can’t take all the tiles 
merry onyx
The trip up + satisfied snicker grid for oak is marked as needing +2 energy when you could take both of those tiles more optimally w/o it
One in doc + one w/o extra energy
Protect mgr is a waste when it's a one time move and the sync tiles i worthless coming off of a 160 atk

Could I ask for the Sync Grid for 3/5 NC Leaf?
timid marten
Her 4/5 sadly isn't that impactful. You could take the MG node for a DPS build if you wanted
fading gulch
if mg is mind games then thats not super relevant since shes already doing -2 from acid and -1 from b move
heady flame
Its gauge
Which is something she does struggle with from my experience, but it isnt in a great spot and costs a lot of energy
fading gulch
oh mgr9?
timid marten
It's Move: MG up 2 9
So you get 2 gauges back when using a move, I apologize for not being clear earlier
fading gulch
no worries im just used to mg9 being mind games

Anyone got a 4/5 grid for Selene Nihilego?
if you're willing to go for the energy expansion, this is what i'd probably go with for 4/5

If anyone is curious, this is my 3/5 AS Cynthia grid running her with FRoxanne
Completely forego any trapping: FRoxanne will take care of that
If you skip any of the trap utility & uncap you can pick up 2 sync bp

Thinking of dropping DC9 → TM MPR since what with the innate DC9 on B-Earthquake & FRoxanne B-Bulldoze it should be shredding like crazy

I wouldn't particularly recommend AS Cynthia and SC Adaman since they really do nothing for each other

Both enhance each other, and he is the second best sub dps, only behind Foxanne

Really? How so?
The only connecting thread I see is Ground Passive
I guess Adaman benefits from Ground Zone

That's enough to justify running both together. Not to mention zone too
willow slate
I guess the groundwork is there
Heh, groundwork
But yeah I don't have him and I have FRoxanne so I'll put her on 2nd slot
