Jo's CSMM and Various Clears

[wild nexus]

Even so, almost 23k points is crazy

[storm kayak]

He can score 23k easy

[wild nexus]

Jo OP

[storm kayak]

He just show some mercy to poor Volo’s team

[west fog]

My sanity and hey I like Volo

[wild nexus]

giving the other team a chance, how generous of Jo

[storm kayak]

I think 22850 will be the highest

Unless Jo decides to raise it

[west fog]

(i was going to pick Volo, I like both Volo and Rei; I chose Rei because the name is red )

[storm kayak]

[west fog]

[storm kayak]

Hidden betrayer

[west fog]

I won't, I am a bit busy so I don't have to do that and also farm LG cookies

[storm kayak]

I still dont touch LG yet

Although my cookie is

[west fog]

I am resting next HSE.
Won't invest further than EXes.
Might even get 200k and dip

So I will try to farm more LG 2 months from now too

[storm kayak]

Look at my cookie

0 type guard cookies, 0 golden deluxe cookies

Even the silver one is low rn

[west fog]

I had 0 Silver and 0 Bronze Deluxe

I farmed a bit

But need more farming

[glossy bridge]

rock-weak alder is like that iirc

i know back before we had the new parameters, poce did a full param (was it 4.2k?) run on alder using two flinchers

[west fog]

Inspired by some of the things that happened during the Factory Battle, I decided this week's clear is F2P+Gen Pool only Duos

R1: Easy, Simple, Just Kill everything before you die

R2: this one, was a bit wild. I don't know why i kept thinking Cheren is a support pair. Either or, this took a few flinches to properly pull off.

R3: this is an ol reliable run. I used to run it even without this restriction lol.

R4: This needed Bianca to not die early due to the spam of Close Combat and Mega Kick, after no spam it was a breeze.

R5: Who said Sacred Fire Build ain't good?

[west fog]

Throwing this here for self-reference, will delete when done

[wild nexus]

don't mind me stealing the f2p/genpool duo idea for my clear this week (if i can get it)

[west fog]

Please do

[wild nexus]

[digital tree]

my hat off to you

idt i can replicate some clears of yours without being insane

[glossy bridge]

F2p + genpool on Kanto is easy, but duos? That's impressive

[west fog]

Next on the list all eggmons runs

No fuck that
Jk

[west fog]

Do I continue with F2P duos?

[storm kayak]

F2P solo

[glossy bridge]

sycamore, 5 times

[storm kayak]

Hey i tried this week

But Fire and Grass f2p suck

Bertha soloed Lance, Sidney soloed Agatha and Olympia soloes Bruno

[west fog]

Mix red and blue are f2p right?

Right?

Grass solo doable with Sycamore I would assume

But my Olympia too weak

The rest I can replicate

[digital tree]

smh just dodge

[storm kayak]

Yeah, just dodge

[west fog]

Anything with excessive Evasion hax I am done with

[storm kayak]

I use max offensive parameters

[west fog]

3/5 to minimize the number of turns

[storm kayak]

0 Str increase

But 1 hit = reset

[west fog]

Still you would need less turns of evasion than I would

[wild nexus]

Yes, please

[west fog]

Well here it is
Duo F2P/GenPool

Round 1: Very simple, Very Easy. Didn't need to invest anything even.

Round 2:
Again, This Birb does HUGE DMG. The second bird for that missing 2 attack buffs and some flinches to secure the win.

Round 3: Living hell. Actually EX'd Fantina. She hits very hard as long as she's full HP. I decided to go with Cheren to have easier time taking down mid + Flinches to secure wins.

Round 4: this probably was one of the worst for me. I changed so many Partners and had to rely on a cycle where Lenora doesn't die too soon because I need that -6 Sp.def. Invested 2 levels in Cyrus.

Round 5:
Initially, my selected striker was Alolan Mommy (I genuinely forgot her name)
But she needs too much support to even start doing her dmg and her nuke isn't the best. I decided to take advantage of the Physical Attack Parameter from 2nd round and Switched to Guzma, which also means I changed to Bugsy so I can debuff defenses to make it easier.

[glossy bridge]

Should've waited for morty's powerboost, he could survive better than fantina

[west fog]

I know I considered it, But i actually wanted to do Fantina

Morty gonna get investment anyways because of HSE

[glossy bridge]

I might EX Morty too, using him last LG was so annoying because man's so frail

[west fog]

He needs it even with the power boost

[digital tree]

I still cant believe he and Serena got released nearly next to each other, yet the power cap is so wide

[wild nexus]

You make it seem easy lmao

Duo vs Electric and Ghost maybe out of reach for me. But the other 3 seem doable

Crazy clear as always!

[glossy bridge]

invested Elesa is actually very good

amazing nuke

[west fog]

I was contemplating using Alolan Golem Sophocles ngl

[wild nexus]

Unfortunately I still don't have a single copy 😦

Will look into BP Sophocles though

[west fog]

I can go run it and see if it works as good or nah

[west fog]

Well
It's not impossible; but it's up there with runs that need literally everything to go in your favor

Few of my attempts

If I am doing Round 2

This works easy

But I wanted to do same round as I did Elesa

Elesa ofc far superior in terms of nuking

Possible? Yes
Would I recommend it or even ask you to do it? No

That 25k

But ofc didn't crit the Delibird

[wild nexus]

Let's see, will give it a try

[west fog]

Only do it if you're gonna attempt on round 2

Otherwise just don't bother

[wild nexus]

But not gonna mald over it for too long like I did Bruno last week

Alright gotcha

[west fog]

It's not simple or easy, took me lots of retries and even changed parameters

[wild nexus]

If it was difficult for you, I'm probably giving up in a few attempts

Doesn't hurt to try though. Worst case, I throw SST solo at them and move on

[west fog]

SSTRed Solos every Electric weak CS stage

[wild nexus]

Do you think Poison stall would work for either Lorelei or Agatha?

Okay not Lorelei, Sync Cure smh

[west fog]

Lorelei only if you can guarantee your toxic pokemon lives for ever or SSLeaf 5/5
Because when she megas she loses her poison

At 5/5 she gets it back

But vs Agatha, very possible

[wild nexus]

Lorelei has Sync Cure so it won't work

[west fog]

Hence why i said if your poison setter can live forever
Poison after every sync

[wild nexus]

I think the other 4 stages are doable. I'll try to figure something out for Lorelei or the tried and tested SST bandaid last resort

[wild nexus]

Doesn't poison ramp up with enemy turns? The damage would drop off if I have to keep re poisoning no?

[west fog]

It will drop down, but in the same essence it still will work like your normal poison stalling

You should have seen Nov's Crazy Burn Stalling

Burn stalling doesn't ramp up
But also doable

[wild nexus]

I remember seeing it yeah

It'll take a lot of Potion MPR luck idk

Maybe Leaf + Janine

[west fog]

With weaker poison stall team, you shouldn't do Lorerei because it's just pointless if your poison setter dies to a sync or whatever

But for the rest of the stages you can simply throw your shittiest Poison setter, let them put the poison and whoever is tanking is your ticket to victory

Like Leaf

[west fog]

Check out my 15 streak of Auto Teams
(Well some were semi-auto, Like for an example I have to press attack deoxys or I lose lol)

[wild nexus]

Jo any suggestions for stalling vs Agatha? Dire hit all means I have to use Vigilance on Leaf but Sludge Bomb keeps poisoning her, need too many mprs for friend mend. Should I just put Antitoxin and pray for no crits?

Doing Leaf + Lucy

Please ping me when you reply

[north plank]

Joooo long time no see. Any details on the new event?

[west fog]

This was my first attempt with only 3 MPRs (5 total Potions)
Leaf has 2 MPR tiles making her rng less daunting than other units. I will always take vigilance because crit will bypass all your defense and kill you in one shot but if you got poisoned you can TM/Potionluck/sync/only move with Lucy
So Vigilance Friend Mend
I only use my potion when i know next hit or 2 will kill Eevee

That's my grid for her

[west fog]

I hit 2million and I can't go further because i am impatient

[wild nexus]

using this same grid. I'll try being more careful with when I use potions.

[west fog]

I also used Regn for enemy - which made this fight so much longer, I think I can trade it out for strength

[wild nexus]

drop grad healing for some STR?

I have no str params right now

[west fog]

Me too, but I think str 1 or 2 won't screw us that badly

[wild nexus]

alright gonna try again in a little while

wish me luck

[west fog]

2nd Attempt
Changed parameter to ally start half hp
Got shit loads of potion mpr, she was spamming Sludge Bomb and that was a nightmare

[wild nexus]

how many syncs did you survive?

also which round is this? im doing r2

[west fog]

R2 too

Umm i didn't count

I did 6 so it's safe to assume 3-ish

Wait no, 4-ish

My brains forgot this is duo

[wild nexus]

alright tysm!!

[west fog]

Our Next Duo F2P entry:

Round 1: used before, this duo is really reliable, Tanky and Recovers HP while dishing out some good damage.

Round 2:
Good Ol Combo. Solgaleo is really good and doesn't even need Colress

Round 3: i was gonna use Fantina again, But I decided to mix it up and use the upgraded Morty. Dana to help his nuke clean house.

Round 4: Fairy Weak stages reminds me of why I was desperate to get SSGladion. Fairies are shit man. Straight up hot garbage.

Round 5: Unlike Fairy, I had so many options here. Like really Water is just so loveable. I decided to go with Kris and Eggmon because it's that easy.
Gyarados flinching simulator while Kris Nukes the stage and mega kicks twice to end everything.

[west fog]

Sigh
Atleast it's Kalos Upgrade.
I can manage.

[west fog]

Deoxys best support

[west fog]

I can't break into the 2million

[little obsidian]

skill issue imo

whats your team

[west fog]

Hop bianca colress

[little obsidian]

definitely skill issue

[west fog]

You a hater

Evasion hax don't work for me

[west fog]

This is too hax-y man

My colress got Para'd that probably ruined my score because kept getting para'd instead of just doing no animation?

Picture with SkippingMud before I get sent down

[wild nexus]

Am I reading this correctly? You're #5 in the world?!

[glossy bridge]

Well it is 2 million damage so

[west fog]

Not anymore
Last I checked I dropped to 13

[wild nexus]

regardless

[west fog]

"hey guys i am giving up on top 100, this event sucks for me"

Tbf many people busy with DC, but i did not think i would be anywhere near here lmao

[west fog]

#1009554906568462476 message

Next F2P Duo Entry.
Round 1: I don't know maybe I am using the wrong parameters, but this round took me over 20 retries.
I needed first turn Burn and Trap, atleast 2 Speed buffs for Ho-oh, literally I had to use up every gimmick these 2 had in their bags. Not recommended, but it's a team that can clear it. this run may or may not have changed my opinion on Burn Stalling.

Round 2: The best Rock Team I had prior to NCSilver. So It still clears easy.

Round 3: I did Gyarados Last week, I wanted to try without Rain and I wasn't disappointed.

Round 4: Sidney is a Menacing Pair. Just SHY your enemies and kill them in their confusing moments, Yeah EggBreon couldn't flinch anyone.

Round 5: I tried a lot of Combinations. Guzma, Lusamine, Burgh - It just didn't go through. Guzma being Electric Weak just blows big time. The other 2 either didn't deal enough damage or couldn't withstand any of the AOE spam.
So I decided to run the Reliable Stalling team, The Double Ls, Leaf and Lucy.

[glossy bridge]

Wait wait, round 1 is a burn stall?

[west fog]

No, but it isn't doable (atleast with my parameters) without the burn and burn damage over time

[wild nexus]

You're crazy, Jo

F2p duos, using eggmons on top, no rain water team. Idk how the hell you managed R1.

Blaine tanking?

[wild nexus]

Scrolled back to check team here and this is even crazier. Likely seriously, how are you living long enough to KO all enemies?

Or is it OHKO on sync?

[west fog]

Blaine always tanked for me, far before he even had a grid

R1 is practically one of my worst runs ever, no Joke.

Pre sync, no other way around it

(also sacred fire build)

[west fog]

Usually, it's not OHKO on Sync, but I have room to flinch turns or finish off the job after a good nuke

Some pairs though, do OHKO on Sync

Like Sidney from today's Clear, completely Annihilated Mid, and easy clean up afterwards

[west fog]

Rough ride but i got it done

[wild nexus]

[glossy bridge]

That water team does not need rain i can confirm, Kris is too good

[glossy bridge]

Huh, i would imagine you used a nuke build

Or is inertia too slow to set up

[valid sparrow]

Back when I was doing that clear, Inertia was too slow

And Overheat couldn't keep the damage up

[west fog]

I did have nuke and Inertia setup.
What I meant with I need everything to work out is exactly this.
I need a burn and trap first turn and Fast Track proccing everytime I use Sacred Fire, even after my nuke so Ramming speed can help barely finish the job
I am just saying, this run is not something anyone should recommend

[west fog]

3 Speed Intertia Better than no Inertia

[verbal zodiac]

Did you increase your score sometime since? I’m right above the score pictured but can’t find you on the leaderboard

[west fog]

I am 320k i think

Atm

Or 310k i am bad with numbers sometimes

[west fog]

Or 300k

323k
Damn i was right
Where my confidence at

[west fog]

My daily.... Again.....
I was like SPARKS OMG I AM GETTING ACEROLA
Now I am starting to wish I never got Tierno

[west fog]

I been quiet lately heh

I wasted some gems getting greedy so I hit a low point where I want to do minimum greed

My f2p Duo runs till Alola is over
I am guessing were back to the hard CSMM afterwards so I doubt I can push F2P duos there

[glossy bridge]

What's the guess for the next region?

[west fog]

It has to be one of the gimmicky 3
But Ill say Sinnoh

[wild nexus]

I really hope it's Sinnoh

I started playing during Sinnoh. Only CS region that absolutely kicked my ass back then.

[west fog]

It would still be the one that kicks your ass, as it is top 2 rough regions
That's when Dena was like "people are just smoothing through CSMM, why not make it so extremely difficult?"

[wild nexus]

It's the only region I haven't cleared 15k yet. It'll be fun to see how difficult I find it after 7 months of playing.

[west fog]

You will 15k it like a boss

[wild nexus]

Yessir! I will have my revenge against Bertha and Aaron

[glossy bridge]

Tbf it was your first

[wild nexus]

Still could have gotten atleast one 3k off any stage with SST. But yeah, roster was pretty weak back then.

Atleast Bertha made me learn how to quad queue

Just to squeeze in that extra damage needed to clear

[west fog]

He just missed the last Eurption....
Can you feel my tears yet

[glossy bridge]

Yikes

[west fog]

F
Forgot to upload the pics

Another F2P Duo Entry in the Hall of Fame!

R1: Typical Run, very simple and don't need much preping

R2: I wanted to do this run, based on my showcase to Trout before. The difference here is I made a full offensive parameters, any HP makes mid unkillable.

R3: Skyla is insane for an F2P unit. Nukes really well and DPS really well.

R4: i initially used Hapu. She does okay, but she's not duo Material. She needs too much support and also a bit of time to fully setup. In an f2p trios she would shine just fine.
So I turned to Courtney and annhilated the stage for bulling the Hapu.

R5: oh boy. So I know I did Ho-oh Last week, and he was much easier to use this time around. But, I decided to Force Ethan to work. I love Typhlosion and before Gen 6 he was contender for my top favorite of all time. So I decided to make him work.
I put Weathered Warrior 3 on him and gave him +10 Sync Orb Expansion to maximize his DPS + Nuke. With Egg Croc he gets his final 2 Sp.atk and 1 crit without needing MPR, sets the sun and just blast the enemies away. This is easier than what I went through last week with Ho-oh and Blaine, but highly invested and also not recommended.

Overall, there are atleast 2 rounds where you can do it with more accessible pairs (or easier ones)
You can use Elesa instead of Soph
You can use Ho-oh, Emboar or even Event Blue (given their all EX'ed) for better results than Ethan.

[west fog]

No lucky stage, terrible theme boost, difficult stages, not ideal Set
Just tell me i am not allowed to play this week
Thankfully my VH A10 was Lucy, i had to use 2 2.0s instead of 3, because I needed that horrible bug boost.

[wild nexus]

OP clear as always, Jo

[wild nexus]

Any tips for Hilda duo vs Kukui? I tried Aaron and Redlax, sync isn't doing nearly enough damage to KO mid. Will sun make a massive difference over SEUN?

I don't have sun eggmon. Maybe Gordie for double rebuff and sun before he goes down?

[west fog]

Sounds like a good idea to me

Something I would definitely test sometime

[raw tinsel]

What are you pulling next bro. Can I do it for you? 😂

[west fog]

Oi, you missed the darkest days of Poma!
I used to do that for a friend of mine
Do my CSMM then do his

[raw tinsel]

Not meant to sound poo poo. I realized I liked hanging out with yall more than playing the game

The game is this blackhole that sucks life and money 😂

Without the community it's...

[west fog]

Fair point, many live games rely on their communities

[glossy bridge]

My problem with Hilda is how slow she takes to max inertia by herself

[west fog]

In a duo she does really good though

Because by the time you get your sync you have like 5 speed

Max attack

Can delay sync for maximum damage

Since it will be worth more than some flame charges post sync

[glossy bridge]

This is true

[west fog]

I am up to shenanigans

[west fog]

We're nearing the end of this chapter guys.

So I tried to use different/weaker units? Like Solgaleo Colress is just abusive at this point.

Round 1: I cannot remember when i did my last ice duo. But hey Denis still got the power in him to clear.

Round 2: so, i used this team before, and last week i used Morty. I decided to use what i deem the weaker ghost striker. Still she surpassingly hits truck balls.

Round 3:
So. I don't know what I was thinking. But double Support non-stall battle? At one point I didn't know if i should sync Hop (good sync dmg) or Jasmine(heal up)

Round 4:
Riley has no right being this good. I mean him and Lucario are basically one of my all time favs but goddamn they're really good! Marshall just attended then died to one Iron head.

Round 5:
I am not sure, really. Just mid died way too soon and sides nearly killed me
How? I don't know either.

[wild nexus]

R3 is post sync?

[digital tree]

That Riley duo is impressive

[wild nexus]

I dont wanna be a buzzkill, but Riley is really strong!!

like Jo might even be able to solo with Riley

[glossy bridge]

No way marshall

[west fog]

R1 and R3 post sync

Marshall basically just acted like substitute for Riley.
Riley's Max move nearly killed mid, it was a joke, nuke cleaned the whole stage

Soloing with Riley is not out of the question but might want to get lucky with enemy moves

[wild nexus]

Enemies weren't hitting too hard with R1 Phys damage reduction

I might EXR Riley to try this

[west fog]

I mean I did R4 huehuhuehue
But he can definitely solo, if you have Rei, and he's EX'd he does a better job than Riley anyways.

[wild nexus]

I meant for solo because you said this. Don't need as much luck with enemy moves with R1 dmg reduction.

[west fog]

Oui, even with physical reduction, they have some hard hitting moves like iron head

[west fog]

Tomorrow Ill make my last f2p duo run

Even if we continue on an easy CSMM, I kinda started to forget how some of the units play so I got to use some of the rare ones I haven't used in ages

[raw tinsel]

What's cooking for next month

[west fog]

Me, I am cooked

[west fog]

Our Finale F2P Duo

R1: Annoying clear, annoying type.

R2: I actually struggled with this?? This week hasn't been nice to me.

R3: the amount of times I restarted, in the end I actually sync'd 4 times using Barry. He didn't even crit the last one. Last hit was a goddamn bubble. (Yes I basically sing-locked mid after side died)

R4: also struggled here? Needed every flinch to hit Because my syncs aren't critting?!
What's going on today?

R5: just needed Dawn to not die to sync, after that it's a few leafstorm/razor leaves.

[wild nexus]

Next is Sinnoh. Is it possible to duo that with genpool pairs? Or maybe a free/genpool trio clear is already pushing it?

[west fog]

Duo f2p/genpool would just suck on Sinnoh, while some stages it would be easily possible, most of them it would mean even more resets and struggles.
Trio f2p is easy in my humble opinion
But already done by f2p special threads, like auroch's and thegamingeevee's
I would just be taking what they are doing, but less impressive because I probably have maxed out f2p units

[wild nexus]

Got it. I'll do a few f2p trio/duos (whenever possible) just cause it's Sinnoh and I wanna beat it 15k without using OP pairs - before I annihilate it for the last couple weeks.

[west fog]

I'd still run f2p strats like Solgaleo/Colress
Olivia/Bertha
Maybe even one of my electric F2P duos.

Plus, you need to test out your strength compared to when you started playing

[wild nexus]

I'm asking you cause I know if you say it's not possible, there's no way I'm doing it. But since you said trios are easy, they should be doable. Idk about duos, but we'll see.

And yeah, I have a lot of stuff to throw at Bertha now. I'll have the last laugh this time!

[west fog]

F2p Trios, definitely doable.
F2p Duo I would tell you to drop it, I personally am dropping it because it's a hassle and some of them are straight up impossible without some insane luck

[wild nexus]

Thanks again for everything, Jo!

Alola CS was hella fun/rewarding because of you

[west fog]

Always my pleasure!

Plus it's rewarding to see your honed skills
We can walk the same path

[wild nexus]

[glossy bridge]

Agreed

[west fog]

Why my queue delay
Sad days

Revenge time

[west fog]

Well well well
If it isn't a f2p (Nearly fully Mono) Duo Clear.

Here is how it went
My first 2 rounds went f2p, so I pushed the rest too.
That being said, I don't want to do anything more f2p duos vs Sinnoh/Hoenn/Kalos
fr fr.

Round 1: my only no resets clear and My always go to Rock Duo in the past. But I have NC Silver now so this probably the last time we see this pairing for the near future 😦

Round 2: Well. Skyla and Skyla were missing the third Skyla.
I did this post sync, to maximize Striker Skyla's Attack by having Support skyla fanfair after sync. Typically speaking this is not a hard run at all.

Round 3: the f2p choochoo train came knocking doors.
I needed a few resets to get the right flys in as I was flying over x moves and getting hit by actually crunches and faintattacks instead. Courtney Clears sides before syncing 2nd time.

Round 4: so we're not controlling the weather, we're not able to take hits, we're not able to clear in one sync. What's our solution? Sleeplock the stage.
Whatever moves is asleep therefore we take our time to sweep.

Round 5:
Well
This was actually easier than I thought it would be. Looker does hella damage when on type. Just a joke nuking the stage and only needing a few Staggers from Pink head lady (i forgot her name at this time)

[wild nexus]

[west fog]

[wild nexus]

Idk how you cleared Bertha duo

That's honestly crazy

[glossy bridge]

Olivia my queen

Insane sync nuke

[wild nexus]

Still waiting on her 2/5 to unlock my genpool Rock option

[west fog]

Very simple actually, if they land a hit before my sync, reset

[west fog]

I been playing too much PokeRogue and Slacked off my LG
Gotta atleast get my 10 clears

[storm kayak]

PokeRouge

[west fog]

My No F2P units clears

To be honest, this was such a change. Also good scope to understand how different the powercreep from newer units is like.

Round 1: I cleared this stage before I could Sync, overload of damage from both Field units.

Round 2: I am surprised? Mid Died to the first BMove from NCRed? I didn't even need to sync here as well. Just tapped 1 more Blizzard instead.

Round 3: well... Cyrus is a cheatcode but this time i brought him as a Zone Setter
One Bmove from Marnie and the Battle is over.

Round 4: I did Volcanion Kyogre before
I present now
Suicune Kyogre. Offensive Overload and gauge is dead but Hey, pretty damn good clear.

Round 5: with all my previous rounds being Pre-sync using my default (not Pre-sync) parameters, I didn't even change what my parameters were from round 4, that's fine Sylveon takes 3x damage but Gladion just deletes the map Pre-Sync on his own anyways.

Simply put, most of these stages are Solo-able
But I don't have time for Solo runs at this current period of time.

I will miss you f2p units, but I am enjoying re-using my p2w units

[wild nexus]

SS Gladion vs Cynthia: what is Wise Entry?!

[west fog]

Good week

[west fog]

I only have 3 clears in LG
I need to do something atleast my 10 rewards

[verbal zodiac]

sir/miss I have zero

[west fog]

My Rally has Alola freebie and Gym Leader in shop

Can I refund pls

[west fog]

Guess who's buying that Apple cup

[little obsidian]

Surely you can beat Thorton

[west fog]

With shit tanks and no boost

No

[west fog]

Well well well.
Solo time.

R1: I decided that Morty Deserves to Solo. The play here was to actually dodge a few hits. Multiple resets till Morty Evaded mostly Mid because power ↑ on hit is a killer. Post Sync Clear.

R2: We're on fire! Was the quite the most fitting final words. Light work for Steven. Post Sync Clear.

R3: This is so much easier than you think. Avoid getting Trapped and it goes right everytime. This was Pre-sync

R4: Red is so good, Aaron is dead before he even heals himself. I am not even joking, Not only did I sync first, I had room for 3 moves before Aaron's Sync, only needed to use 2. Easy Pre Sync

R5: This was my first try, untouched run. I solo'd 0 hp lost. staggering 4 is just too OP, every move was a flinch. Insane luck. Needless to say, this was Pre-Sync

I am more surprised I had more Pre-syncs than post syncs in Solo clears

[wild nexus]

Nice runs! What's the story for R1? Morty is that good?!

I'm surprised he had enough damage and bulk to solo

Wow

[glossy bridge]

powerboost morty is good now

it's not really bulk, it's evasion hacks mostly

[wild nexus]

They still had to survive sync

Which Lucian hits pretty hard

Time to level Morty! Recently got 3/5

Also with WEx2. Did you clear with Phantom Force?

Just checked, Sync is also physical. I could have cleared with Morty as well instead of Stalling smh

[west fog]

No stall, he can survive sync as long as mid lands no hits

And ridicure 4 healing him

Apart from that, sync wipes sides, and mid needs one last phantom force

[wild nexus]

Gonna prioritize building him post anni

[west fog]

Got a new unit to beat Moltres

[west fog]

The reason I didn't do my CSMM is I am waiting for Steven to do this

[glossy bridge]

Beautiful

[wild nexus]

Didn't even need sync

[west fog]

Let it be known this is only 1/5

And I don't plan to candy/pull more till HSE

[west fog]

Steven tremendously hurt me financially
Ill throw this here and go weep

[covert jacinth]

Some of these aren't just one character!

[west fog]

The pain of pitying 1/5 Steven made me not want to 1v3 anymore

Also I don't have anything to solo The bug weak stage tbh

[west fog]

Feeling a little bit better so re-did my CSMM for fun.

Round 1: 1/5 Still, but that exclusive Lucky Skill he gets is a complete game changer. Not bad Solo at all.

Round 2: Really easy, she clears before she syncs lol.

Round 3: I really have lots of 1/5s therefore I need a helping hand for Silver. The doggo's job was just to make Silver Sync faster, no other real reason.

Round 4: I hate bug types. I hate this game.

Round 5: I tried a few times to solo, but The output from these dragons and Sandstorm are too much for Lance to recover. He can successfully deal massive damage but he really can't solo at 1/5. Maybe at 3/5 or more he gets some secret technique to destroy them. So I brought Selfie man to change the weather and just watch Lance destroy them all.

Not Bad.
Now I go cry about my 0 Gems.

[glossy bridge]

Beautiful

[wild nexus]

[west fog]

I got lazy and this is the only picture I took during the whole ordeal
I had Battle Factory theme which was basically useless
And 5 Crit ↑ power ↑
These 3 tanked VH Argenta with no boosts to bulk whatsoever.

Bro this run was going so smoothly till I got frozen for 5 ENEMY TURNS

Need to do this on a different round

Yeah
Much easier time on here
Lance hits too hard.

Still have my endurance too

[wild nexus]

I stand corrected. No weather setter needed lmao

[west fog]

Round 1:
Lance Does Massive Damage, sides take 2 hits each and mid takes 3. He doesn't need to sync, he doesn't need to control the weather. All he needs is to hit.

Round 2:
My Bug Solo
I hate bug types
I tried my best to not be a hater of the the bug types
But I wanted to do something different.
Therefore I did my Bug Solo clear in a fashion called never get hit and let them get lit
(He's EX'd, stage wipe)

Round 3:
As a Solo Experience, Steven already showed that he's so capable earlier, but died to a freeze that took him 5 enemy moves to unfreeze. Which ruined my chances of anything. So I moved him to round 3 where he doesn't need to worry about INFINITE FREEZE.
He does really well, make bulky opponents and out bulk them.

Round 4:
I thought no one but this Anniversary unit deserves to be on this list with the rest of these Anniversary units.
I made the parameters a bit difficult but first try clear

||FlashBang warning||

Round 5:
Cynthia is too strong, just like lance she hits too hard and it takes her 2 Bmoves to clear sides - then 2 more to clear mid.
It went so quick all I could capture was the text

Screw Bug Types

[covert jacinth]

Solo shame

[wild nexus]

Jo can I please add you in-game?

And sorry mods, but since I'm asking Jo, might as well ping you here @glossy bridge?

[glossy bridge]

#friend-codes message sure sure

[wild nexus]

Ign is Trout

[west fog]

#friend-codes message
@wild nexus this moine

[west fog]

Busted Duos
Meme Duos
All the Duos
We have them here
Vs Wallace I put up physical reduction so I basically was just 1v3 with faster sync cycle

[wild nexus]

The duos vs Drake and Glacia must have been nasty with how hard they hit

[west fog]

They all nasty, the whole thing took 1 try

[wild nexus]

You're kidding, right?!

[glossy bridge]

that Drake duo obliterates the stage before hitting hard even matters

the only time i had trouble doing that duo was when I fought ice-weak bertha on half sync

[west fog]

I am not
Only stage I nearly restarted was fairy weak because Gladion decided to miss

[wild nexus]

You've motivated me to try duos next week I'm looking at the weaknesses and I may actually be able to pull it off. Flying is kinda iffy, but idk. Lodge Skly has surprised me before.

[west fog]

Lodge Skyla is a beast in her own right

[glossy bridge]

i don't have mix blue ( ) so i'm gonna try ho-oh duo on glacia i guess

[west fog]

I only did these 2 for the memes honestly, fire is stacked

[west fog]

I plan to reclaim a top 100 spot again

Will reshuffle everything tomorrow

Except Zinnia
Not touching that

Hapu and Maxie disbelievers
Where you at now

[glossy bridge]

hapu surely carried in that team! arc cynthia who? F tier

[west fog]

She plays a vital role

[storm kayak]

Budget Ingo

[west fog]

Stop hatin

[west fog]

So
I sent completely random today.

Round 1:
My silver is a poor 1/5, didn't bother trying to solo, but I gave him a good help

Round 2:
Can you outtank the best in the world?

Round 3:
I tried to solo with Lysandre, but I kept falling short. So I decided to Grab some Striking tech to help him out.

Round 4:
I got 3/5 Korina from mix like a few days ago. I had to try her out. Cynthia is just here for zone, she dies uselessly afterwards.

Round 5:
So.... I want funny numbers.
I put all HP parameters, most strength ones and I just stalled the battle till I had 10 SPA↑ on Deoxys
And I wasn't disappointed.

[wild nexus]

[spiral cave]

Why are y'all bullying Glacia like this

[west fog]

She chose the wrong typing to mess with

[west fog]

Maxie 1000
Nita 800
Zinnia 600
Leon 1000
N 800

Probably my final push

I selected Phanpy to replace my Hapu

Which was 900 str anyways

If I knew I could push Leon this hard

I would've kept Hapu

So i can finish Hapu gaming

[storm kayak]

Where is Hapu ?

[west fog]

Listen, I would put her back and still score above 500k

But unfortunately not 1000str so I can't use her again

[west fog]

This exists, despite all the hate

[west fog]

thought I would quickly do this

Steel is looking better and better with all the busted pairs we keep getting so I wanted to 2v3 it, like I did with lots of these. (F#$+ Fairy types)

Round 1: It took a few attempts to find the best cheap partner for Lillie, but it worked out really well in the end. Lillie is EXR'd so at round 2 I will find out how wasteful this round was.

Round 2: Using Lillie that early vs Glacia, and wasting my zone and everything - has driven me to a corner. I tried multiple combos, but to no avail, Bertha is too strong and hits super effective vs nearly every good damage dealer in my roster.
So I decided to use my break out of Jail freebie card.
Can you outlive the truly best in the world? 2/5 EXR

Round 3: simple, sweet, big numbers. Both 1/5 non-roled.

Round 4: good ol' reliable! The combo i been using for years except vs Bertha because she wrecks them. But yeah they clean up really nicely. Needless to say, Both 5/5

Round 5:
I have a feeling that a fully invested Lear might have a chance of soloing this. He hits like a truck and can tank with his circle.
Lear is 1/5, completely ungridded but I caked him
MC 1/5 but that's all he needs anyways, solid support.

[wild nexus]

Jo we used the exact same team R1!

[west fog]

great minds think alike

[wild nexus]

[glossy bridge]

i didn't expect lodge jasmine to be a great pertner for asset reuse Lillie until I tried her myself

thanks shocking slowdown

[west fog]

There are no Jasmine units that are a miss
In a way or another she always has a good use

Steelix remains as one of my favorites to use when I want a tanky hitter

(in LG and whatnot)
I have clears with her in CSMM as my DPS

[west fog]

Well.....
The best in the world has lit a fire underneath me.
It started with him as a solo vs one of my weakest types, then it just snowballed all the way to none other than the Best in the world as my opponent.

Round 1: Can you really outlive the best in the world? I am candying him. He's amazing.

Round 2: a little bit of hax is all I want, a little bit of mpr is all I need, a little bit of Bmove and She will concede

Round 3:
I tried something different. I tried insult to Injury Dragonite. Needless to say he really hurt drake bad. Yeah I keep doing this mistake of not picking the right rounds. Had I picked round 3 for My next entry, my life would've probably had been 5 minutes better.

Round 4:
Well, Just spam mid. Hyper offensive and Flinch the leader of Pykuo's Mascot. Pray everything else misses. (Sides can miss, mid doesn't)

Round 5:
Well, The best in the world needs luck to be beaten. I needed some finicky luck for things to work out, like DEBUFF HIS DEFENSE SO I CAN LIVE A SYNC
But hey, it wasn't that bad tbh, I think I had worse time vs the easiest stage today.

That's some soloing while at work

[glossy bridge]

[wild nexus]

R1 and R5: How?!

Especially R5

Did you use Dark Cerena?

[little obsidian]

R1 is easy, Steven just doesnt die

[wild nexus]

Maybe I'm picking the wrong param

Failed that exact solo and my AS Steven is 3/5

I think he's 1/5 here

[west fog]

What's your param for Steven?

He was 2/5 here

He's 3/5 now

My favorite unit

[wild nexus]

Idk I tried a bunch of stuff

More str, more hp, more atk

But I couldn't do enough damage

[west fog]

Nah i took 0 attack

Let me show you my params

[wild nexus]

Yes, please

[west fog]

I overwrote it, but it was something like this

The idea is, He just never dies. Take out mid and if you're 3/5 you probably can flinch game sides (they will die in few hits anyways)

[wild nexus]

Will try in a bit

And what's the Cerena strat?

[west fog]

As for Cerena, I start with 3 Brutal swings (fish for both confusion and flinches) do TM spam Water and 1 bmove, with good debuffs mid dies to my first sync,
After mid is dead I do 3 more brutal swings, hope for flinches -> go back to water shuriken and hope -6 accuracy is actually working

This is similar to a hard clear I had in the very first High Score Event

But ofc here it's so much easier

As for param, it's basically offensive params but not fully offensive because you need to live a sync

[wild nexus]

And Serena's grid? I have +6 energy

[west fog]

Grid is water nuke and flabbergasted

I can show

This is what I used

But you can use this too

Incase you don't want to not crit

[wild nexus]

Alright

Thanks so much!!

Wish me luck

[west fog]

You got this

(i just noticed my 2nd cerena grid is missing 4 energies )

[wild nexus]

I'll see if I can squeeze in anything useful

Maybe some def hp

[west fog]

Fun fact, For Cerena I didn't use skill gear

I am finding out all this just now

So you will probably have better time

[wild nexus]

[west fog]

Def is never good for fights you want to one shot with nuke or something

Hp is alright

Because HP will just melt when you reach a certain point

Defenses won't

[wild nexus]

No, I meant on Cerena's grid

I'm confused

[west fog]

O
My b

You can just give her an extra sync node

[wild nexus]

Hmm right

Let's see how it goes 🤞

[west fog]

Best of luck

[wild nexus]

Jo these params have supp x3 damage

[west fog]

Steven is not a support unit

He's a multi

Support is his EXR

[wild nexus]

I'll see myself out

[west fog]

[wild nexus]

This entire time I could have been picking supp x3 on every team with him

They're too bulky, with grad healing I'm not even scratching them

[west fog]

Let me see maybe I did something wrong

Try this, I just did another clear with it

Surprisingly, my 2/5 build was better because more potions

But this new one works too, I love it

[wild nexus]

Share the grid too please

And LS

[west fog]

LS is his exclusive one

New grid

Old grid

I guess in the older grid he has so much more bulk

So it makes sense why I felt i had it harder on 2nd try

I can probably add that last potion node too

[wild nexus]

I was one water shuriken away from the Cerena clear

-6 accuracy sold me

[west fog]

It be like dat

https://youtu.be/TXzMO0fYh0U?si=nGPUEbiiwNROoJHb

My phone doesn't appreciate me recording

[wild nexus]

One down, one more to go. Tysm!!!

[west fog]

Now that I watched it
@wild nexus
You can actually take out sides first
Then take your sweet time eliminating Mid, probably flinchlocking him

[wild nexus]

I mean my flinch luck was really good this run, but wtf?!

[west fog]

Oh yeah

[little obsidian]

he just doesnt die

[west fog]

He's soo good

[wild nexus]

I'm lmao

What?!

Best in the world!!!

[west fog]

Best in the world

[wild nexus]

Steven was literally healing more than they were dealing damage

Even after sync buffs

[west fog]

Idk why in my last clear they were hitting me hard
But still Steven Clutches

[wild nexus]

So grad heal was the problem earlier

[west fog]

I don't remember if my first clear had or did not have grad heal

[wild nexus]

And if he can solo Sidney, most other stages should be doable

[west fog]

Anything that doesn't negate his damage to oblivion should be doable yes

So healthy advantage and all the other similar stuff
I bet he can still clear but it will take so long and will need a potion grid

[wild nexus]

SE x 2 offtype may not be possible idk

Also do you think 1/5 Marnie can get Phoebe?

[west fog]

Oh yeah, I don't think he can do Phoebe this week

Uhhhh

No

If you can dodge every single move

Maybe

But still insane

[wild nexus]

Ah, I'll try but I'm not expecting much

4/5 stages is good enough for now

[west fog]

You need to TM
Dodge EVERY move
Protect before sync (otherwise you die)
And you probably kill after your Bmove

[wild nexus]

Anyway thanks again, Jo!!

You made this easy

Seemed impossible earlier

[west fog]

Always happy to help

[wild nexus]

For Marnie, it seems I need MGR more than anything, cause guage is dead

[west fog]

My LS is move gauge

[wild nexus]

I did survive sync though

[west fog]

With protect, no?

[wild nexus]

Yeah

[west fog]

Yeah but you want to sync asap as well

[wild nexus]

Gauge was the problem, let me try switching LS

[west fog]

[wild nexus]

Nope, gonna wait for 3/5

[west fog]

[west fog]

With Steven Basically giving me a freebie solo stage, I am considering doing more solo clears

[west fog]

But i lied because I am at work and don't have time to retry many solos

All these took one attempt except for round 3 because Giratina kept dying over and over like paper

So nothing much to talk about
Goodbye Hoenn
Won't miss you
Specially won't miss Sydney

Next month is ez

[west fog]

Hmmm
I wanted to try something but it's safe to say it's not working out

[west fog]

I struggled so much with Cynthia I forgot what was my tactics for the first 2 rounds

R1: Give them stats. Now take back these stats. Pray for dodges punch them in the face.

R2: at this point I forgot what I did
But it's most likely went down like this MELT EVERYTHING WITH THE POWER OF

SUN

R3: I spent so much of my time and sanity on this. I won't admit how much, it's just a lot. Literally just wanted a high roll + no attack from sides + 1 TM from mid, too many rngs too many stars had to align. This is one of my worst ever solos. I recommend against even attempting this.

R4: let him sync, he's dead anyways. fuck Sidney

R5: There are 3 reasons why I wanted Steven here. 1 because I want him to be standing in the middle of the hall of fame.
2 because he can beat anyone in the world.
3 because i needed to remind Wallace who the true champion of Hoenn is.

Also Dena really missed out on adding the Shiny Metagross Steven has in one of the anime shows.

The best in the world

[glossy bridge]

best there is!

[wild nexus]

Cynthia is 1/5?

Also is the 1 sun from Mix Blue enough to get through the battle?

[west fog]

Yup, I think you clear pre-sync as well

[west fog]

3/5 actually, with insane gear

[west fog]

test test

Aha

Don't mind me

[west fog]

Easy mode, I could even f2p again, but I want to use busted units tbh

Round 1: Very easy, it was over way too soon. Bianca does everything a unit needs except too much damage

Round 2: I tried to do it with SSHilda, but Hilda needs more time and that crit shield is brutal. First attempt with MixBlue and everything was over.

Round 3: My favorite solo of all time. Over before it started.

Round 4: i should have lost, because i had no MGRs whatsoever. But i dodged enough time to clear on first time.

Round 5: I reset twice. Once was because I got burned very early in the battle, the second was realizing my mistake by taking out mid first. Simply put, I could've used a water type since they're all busted but STEVEN will clear it just as easy

[west fog]

Been doing these in my free free time.
Like 3 solos at a time or something, So far no issues. I can say all had few to no resets.
Gloria I resetted a bit, the rest are either first time or 2-3 retries.

Dunno if I will go for a long streak as I want to farm Cookies so if I feel like I am out of time I will reset the whole thing and farm with auto teams

(also I already reset the whole thing once because I accidentally killed off Aura Cynthia because I fell asleep while playing teehee)

[wild nexus]

What really? Are you going to climb up again?

[west fog]

I was at 12 wins already, on my 13th I failed and backed out (while asleep) , so now I am back where I messed up initially

Won't use Aura Cynthia now though because her solos take soooooooooooooooooooooo much time

No wonder i fell asleep

[wild nexus]

You should try C Rosa vs Cobalion

Takes like 5+ mins but Rosa is unkilleable pretty much

[west fog]

you want to put me to sleep

[wild nexus]

[west fog]

5+ minutes with quad speed video yes

[wild nexus]

Oh right forgot about that. Didn't realize it was that long lmao

[west fog]

My next entry will probably be Lana

Vs Azelf

I have an imaginary list

I should be more organized

[wild nexus]

While that would he ideal, figuring this stuff out on the go is fun (ofc given you have some experience with LA's and know your pairs, which you do)

LG newbie like me needs to be organized

[west fog]

You have convinced me

I like to do stuff on the go ngl
But having a list to look at every once in a while can also help

Therefore I might be eyeing other people runs

[wild nexus]

Maybe you wanna look at my streak as well for some ideas

I'm 3 away from my goal

[west fog]

Guide me to your streak

[wild nexus]

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1215591516874211348

Nothing too crazy tho, I'm trying to make runs as easy as possible to avoid burn out and reaching my goal

[west fog]

Steady pace is better, I burn out from LG the quickest out of all modes, hence why I do like 3 at a time (doable not RNG heavy runs)

If rng heavy I probably do just that

[wild nexus]

Yeah exactly

Last time I tried too many soloes/duos and ended up giving up at 24

Figured it's better to go overkill than mald over RNG heavy clears

[west fog]

Yeah I always do easy duos when I feel like I can't be bothered with Solos anymore

And when i run out of easy duos

Time to fill eggmons and overkill wherever i can

I did that for my 100+ streak

[wild nexus]

Even lvl 1 eggmons make so many clears more manageable

You've hit a 100 before wow

[west fog]

Yes ofc, the idea that you get some extra buffs and faster sync is big in these solos, that's like having wise entry 2 lucky skill for an example

[west fog]

Yes, I used to hit around 70 consistently then 30s because I couldn't care less

Then they introduced the title you get for 100 streak soooo i did that

[wild nexus]

I'll get there someday

100 seems unfathomable right now

[west fog]

I'd say it's closer than you think

The fatter your roster gets

The closer you are

Not only by limited units, but also all the spotlights

[wild nexus]

Yeah, still have a lot of pairs that lack move levels and/or enough investment

[glossy bridge]

Anni N solo you're stronger than me

I gave up on it last time

[glossy bridge]

Thing is, it's hard to preplan all your clears because you WILL see cheaper options and will want to try them out

Just wing it! Be flexible

[glossy bridge]

Dw you'll get there someday

[wild nexus]

Been winging it this time, having way more fun

[west fog]

Took me 1 literal try
I didn't even reset for extra MPR or anything

Oh yeah I also dodged a stone edge so there is that

[glossy bridge]

[glossy bridge]

I think this is necessary

[west fog]

I think it's Karma now, I got easy rng for N, everything else I am attempting is going bad

Guess ill go take a look at the sheet or what others are doing

[west fog]

Trout and Nov:
It's quick, 30% reliant rng

Me for the 5th time in a row:

[glossy bridge]

typical solo experience

but hey, you got close though!

just one more flinch!

[wild nexus]

It do be like that unfortunately

[storm kayak]

Ngl, i dont even remember that solo is hard

At least when compared it to Riley one

[glossy bridge]

not you too with the upside down name

[storm kayak]

Nah, my name isn’t fully upside down

[wild nexus]

I found the Riley solo easier cause don't need to rely on flinches

[storm kayak]

[west fog]

y and o not upside down yes you're the imposter

[west fog]

Will probably do that one too

Rei always losing out on a flinch

Sigh

[glossy bridge]

now that mine is EXR i find it harder because now my damage is too much

i have to figure out the damage control all over again, it doesn't help that the video on the solo doc shows riley's sync failing to crit

i haven't even reached the part where i have to instaqueue sync into CC into max move into CC! which I and my phone suck at !

[wild nexus]

You're doing too much damage even with Iron Tail spam?

[glossy bridge]

yeah

[wild nexus]

Once I switched to not using CC at all on bar 1 the damage was okay

[west fog]

Remove your offensive gear

[wild nexus]

I was gonna say this but you also want enough damage to skip Bar 2 and 3

Or you could miss the first sync crit on purpose. Don't use Dire Hit maybe?

[glossy bridge]

this is what i'm planning to do

maybe just dire hit once

[glossy bridge]

i'm starting to think this could be my problem

but idk, i'm moving to duos for now. maybe i'll try the riley solo again when i'm in the mood

I did 8 regi solos.... i'm satisfied....

[west fog]

Please
Flinch once at bar 3
Just once

[west fog]

I guess nuking the whole bar before any flinches works too

[glossy bridge]

[west fog]

Stole a few from Trout
But here are 6 clears to end off the night

Initially I was gonna use Yveltal for Azelf

But the Flinch City and gauge management needed is insane

So I decided to use Lear for Azelf, Yveltal for Regi

Both really easy to do

[glossy bridge]

Oh right, olympia solo

I might give it a try

[west fog]

I am considering starting duoing, fully knowing I have some super easy solos remaing like SS Lyra, Arc Steven to name a few

[west fog]

3 years and a few glitches of my pokemon facing me instead of the enemy

(last one not a bug, the first 2, she literally just stood there not facing coba)

[west fog]

i can think of 20 easy duos right now
So heavily considering dropping these rough Solos i am doing

[west fog]

Top 10 comeback stories

[west fog]

Quick push at work
Round 1: took 1 retry to figure out the order I wanted to queue my moves

Round 2: it ended in 3 moves............? Literally was just testing the waters.

Round 3: Like 3 tries, ice thaws so randomly at times I don't fully understand still? Like sometimes it thaws but the mon still doesn't move and other times the turn doesn't get skipped, broken mechanic af

Round 4:
Surprisingly, this took no retries. 3hp morty GG

Round 5: +4k (i lost count after 4k) 1 try, i even decided mid match to switch from focusing mid to killing sides first (that meant that I basically did no damage to mid since he regn'ed all of it back)
But it doesn't matter. The best in the world didn't even use a single potion. First Try.

[covert jacinth]

SS Gladion is too powerful

That Morty run is incredible

[west fog]

I get too powerful, I don't get 3 clicks battle ends powerful
My parameters I never run pure-attack-presyncs so they do have some bulk

[west fog]

Tbh I was waiting to reset but lady luck smiled upon me with that 3 hp

Also small break from LG
But what da french fries is this

[west fog]

So I been super busy
Didn't have time to do much runs
So i decided to drop the solos I was running and instead turn them into duos or trios even (because some of them are truly annoying and it's not like I am gonna use 1/5 Lance else where)

Will continue tomorrow
I didn't have time to build an auto team so I will just throw whatever I think works at the stage at this point

As i really need to farm cookies

[west fog]

Sigh

I am just not lucky enough

[west fog]

Things were rough this time around because I actually got really busy.
Too many occasions are going on and going through work-life-change.
Regardless of all of that, I managed to gung-ho some runs in a 2 days timespan then spam reset to farm some cookies with Steven/Lillie Combo (Invert helped me out, I asked prior so I can be ready to afk farm when possible) unfortunately I only got like 2-3 hours worth of afk farming which is not entirely bad but had i had more time I would have definitely done much more

Many of the runs are actually solos/duos made easier with eggmons/just ungabunga'd someone on there.

I continue to use Hapu to prove that she's underrated

Also goddamn V Selene feels really inferior to V Elio even though she has mfing flinches. I lost my patience a few times here and there.

Some combos on here were really wonky, others would fail if you get lucky, I am looking at Blue + Evelyn. Everytime there was an Early burn the whole run gets burned down

Overall
I don't like Gauntlet but I really need resources.
Low on guard cookies, low on and

Hopefully next LG is latios bulu and entei.

Now I go back to doing Rallies and CSMM on time

[north plank]

@west fog what's your setup for rank?

Also new PFP?!?!

[west fog]

Didn't touch that still

And oui oui
Change of pace

[north plank]

Pogs

Almost didn't recognize you lol

[west fog]

Not much but here, this is what I ran, did one attempt on everything

[west fog]

Lazy CSMM Clears

Plain
Simple
Easy
For SSLeaf I just spammed Potion (God MPR) because I was poisoned turn 1

[glossy bridge]

when you poison stall will and he tried to stall you back

[west fog]

Another Monday Another Entry

Funnily enough, I struggled a bit today with like 3 of these.

Round 1: lol not this one, very simple and easy. Just bam bam everything and you win.

Round 2: I attempted this a few more times than I would like to. The reason being bad mpr and no evasion hax when needed.

Round 3: well.... I tried a lot of different methods. I tried poison stalling, i tried Immortal Yveltal, I tried a lot of stuff fr. I really didn't want to pull out the best in the world but they had it coming.

Round 4: 1 good rotation, some insane gear (honestly my gear gives him way too much damage on special moves) no half sync no problem, SSTeven can still do it

Round 5: Lol Volt Tackle brrrrrrr

[little obsidian]

morty solo damn

[west fog]

Last time I did that solo it took one literal attempt

[west fog]

Not that I plan to 10/5 any unit (yet)
But kinda disappointed SSRed's is basically just set weather once per battle.

[west fog]

Kalos is back and is trying to be tough

But I am not doing f2p runs only anymore

Round 1: I just wanted to use Volkner. And on type he's really really bombastic

Round 2: This Onix is way better than all other rock supports combined (except the one from alola)

Round 3: we went back in time for some Korrina and Cynthia

Round 4: Lol

Round 5: yes offtype, but goddamn what insane combo this is. Truly monsterous.

[wild nexus]

[west fog]

How funny is it... That when I checked my last year's clear I also had Blue/Volk for Siebold
I can't make this up

[west fog]

Please send help

[west fog]

9.9k
That's alright

[west fog]

I like watching me stuck on the last stage

[little obsidian]

Damn that's big points

[west fog]

Watch my last one be like 30k

[west fog]

I can't get higher than this.
Eri doesn't matter

[west fog]

All simple

[west fog]

Final push
900
1000
1000
1000
1000

This probably my last top 100 push. I dread all remaining typings.
I had my fun.

[west fog]

Well

I decided to bring back a few old matchups

[west fog]

I am one unit away from having all my units 5* or higher

Lyra x2 from Eevee tickets
Well
Atleast I didn't have her before today

[west fog]

I dunno, I felt like I can pull solos today so I did that.

Here is how my gameplan went down:

Round 1: Please don't muddy water please don't muddy water please don't muddy water

Round 2: please don't flinch please don't flinch please don't flinch (I turn cancel by KOing the sides when they are about to queue)

Round 3: heh lol you dead

Round 4: please don't flinch please don't flinch please don't flinch

Round 5: I got flinched, I missed a move and I still pre-synced this thing. Cynthia ain't to be joked with y'all.

You can say, some of these were too close for comfort

[little obsidian]

arc leon in advance

wdym wrong charizard

[west fog]

I borrowed it from dena real quick

[west fog]

I officially have no units below 5 stars (Until I get the next Lodge pairs I guess)

[west fog]

Easy mode again
Leon is actually a little bit better than I expected but still such a slow unit. 4 gauges on both his moves with basically 0 speed buffs, i now know why this unit can't solo shit in LGs

[west fog]

Knock Knock

Offtype Solos when you can't bother with Bugs and Evasion strats

[west fog]

Idk I wanted to do Steven but I decided to steal Trout's clears (different rounds but same units)
I like how Lear just eats up the Sync move count

#1208860837947899965 message

My Stealing Target

[storm kayak]

what happen when you press B Move ? Will your phone explode

[west fog]

Yes.

My phone has less than 1 gb free space

[storm kayak]

[west fog]

Idk why but I couldn't solo with Cerena so I changed that one clear

[wild nexus]

Definitely doing halfsync Lear next time.

[west fog]

Why is the next mix unit Lucas and Torterra.. why not infernape... The agony

[west fog]

Man my rock roster is actually Ass

• Bertha

[west fog]

Archie had no real reason to be there but yeah

[eager scarab]

Every week closer to 5 1v3s @ 3000

[west fog]

That's progress, I like it
Just make sure to do it before Sinnoh Kalos and Hoenn

Cause these 3 will truly be a struggle to pull off

[eager scarab]

I would've gotten 2 if only I'd pay any attention to Lysandre pre-EX Role

[west fog]

While he can do it without EX-role, he definitely needs the 5/5

[eager scarab]

I'm at 1/5 with EX role lol but hes3 the next Strike I'm maxing

[west fog]

I was doing Villains only run because it seemed more difficult to me than solos, so used him as a solo for this

[west fog]

I respect, I maxed him because Yveltal is my fav Legendary

I don't know about Awakenings, but if I plan to do them, he's gonna be early on my list

[eager scarab]

I'm leaving that for they're easier or there's nothing else to do, but his is really good with Upside-down & Healthy Buffer for never being KOd

[west fog]

Yes sir, in CSMM you can take advantage the stats down parameter as well

[eager scarab]

Also I just posted my pics here without knowing it was for your stuff kinda new haha sorry!

[west fog]

All good! I do lots of 1v3s feel free to ask me.

I probably just popped up for you because I just posted like 10 mins ago

#1009554906568462476 is the "public" thread

[eager scarab]

Ty good sir, but I'll also be checking back and you're right, Leon is really slow even with both MGRs i cant get 1v3 at 3/5

[west fog]

Your Mix Blue has better hopes to solo

[eager scarab]

1/5 I was poor during his time

[west fog]

Quick solos to welcome kanto back

[west fog]

My no investment run

I only EX'd Regice for this

Didn't think I should EX anything else at all

[west fog]

Ignore my stamina

[west fog]

Tbh

I redid all rounds except 1st one

I tried clearing with different units

But I genuinely couldn't bother trying to rng it

So switched to quick clears

[north plank]

@west fog we forming gyms together? 👀

[west fog]

What's that

I been under a rock

[north plank]

7761219394099816

[west fog]

I joined the HSE group

[north plank]

I need to join that too 👀

[west fog]

#find-a-gym message

I believe this is the post

[north plank]

I dint see it

Either way I got my gym setup for the time being

But wouldn't mind being active if there is a discord for those members

[west fog]

You will find the guys hanging in #1128052735967764621
Well DC and LG too

[west fog]

Round 1: Using Lear is just really fun. He syncs early thanks to his passive so I can actually make it to the end of the battle.
Attempts: 1

Round 2: Leaf has always been crazy for Solos and various cleaes. Classic leaf, Anni Leaf, SS Leaf etc. so Mix Leaf has to follow suit. She clears easily without geaes too.
Attempts: 2

Round 3:
Bianca. Till today I can't fathom that she's a striker unit. She does everything a tech does. It makes no sense.
Attempts: 2

Round 4: My 1/5 Irida needs nothing but cake. She got this in the bag, Agatha and her ancestors can't beat Irida.
Attempts: 1

Round 5: we make it to the final round, with my strongest bug type unit.... Steven and Metagross. Easy work, Steven bullies the stage like the true strongest bug type out there.
Attempts: 1

[covert jacinth]

Ah the Bianca solo. What is evasion?

[west fog]

Tbh both attempts she didn't miss once

[west fog]

This week, I got very lazy. What I did basically was

Do a universal parameter, so I don't need to change every battle. Technically, the battle is okay to go with physical or special attackers, ill just brute force my way through.
Step 2
Optimize every team. Just press optimize, the game will do some weird picks for you but they will work, trust the proccess

Can't believe I used Lusamine for something other than LG or CSMM factory

[valid sparrow]

Gotta love that synergy between SS Morty and NC Red

[west fog]

Poma knows best

[west fog]

Another Optimization Run

It seems The game thinks Leon is my best ground dps
Sigh
Well there we go

[west fog]

Optimize optimize.
It actually took me 2 attempts on the first round

I haven't changed the parameters since February 6th

Plan to see if I can keep it for the longest time possible

(this means I can't use WTZ users to their best use)

Yes SSTRed was utterly useless for me

[north plank]

Damn looks good 👀

[west fog]

Optimize is a nightmare xD

[west fog]

I am thinking of streaming my optimize only run

Like now

[west fog]

Well that was quicker than i expected

First attempt on everyone
Impressive

[west fog]

Now I have a Dilemma

Will the ground weak stage optimize automatically pick Groudon

Or will i have to break my Optimize streak

My optimize + not changing Parameters streak

Hehe

Groudon with no weather

[west fog]

Since this is actually a bit challenging, I will put my comments

Round 1: Glory to our lord and savior, the Optimize Button, for it chose Groudon to be in the team. I honestly can't fully understand how the optimize work because at round 3 I was crying. Full details there.
My Parameters have no weather, but honestly, Groudon doesn't even need weather.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 2: Initially was gonna be the bug stage, but I couldn't beat it lol. So I tried changing and thankfully the game optimized Giovanni to this stage, giving me a different optimize option for round 3. This stage was very simple, Lear destroys any steel stage.
-# Attempts: 1¹

Round 3: So... This stage i suffered. A lot. My plan towards the end became kill sides and spam sleep mid. Thankfully with Giovanni being used in Round 2, the game gave me someone I can kinda cheese this stage with. My only gripe with this whole ordeal is, My SS Hilbert has higher strength than Alder. I literally fed him a strike cake just for this. YES, I USED UP RESOURCES FOR THIS. Yet the optimization didn't want to switch Alder for Hilbert..... Weird, I don't fully understand it.
-# Attempts: more than 9

Round 4: Lmaooooo I feel sorry for the stage.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 5:
I was worried that no zone might hurt me, but honestly, even at 1/5 these two Poison units are actually lethal. Bede was just spamming Confusion and being there.
-# Attempts: 1

-# ¹ refers to it was the first attempt at trying Steel on round 2. But there were many fails due to it being the bug stage initially. The Loss counts are counted in Round 3 though.

Can't believe Lusamine has 0 Sync move modifiers.
My Alder is 1/5
It was truly a nightmare

[west fog]

Today I learned (again) that using optimise from the team building section differs greatly from how I am doing it (which is pressing Optimize on each individual stage)

With that being said here is my week's entry:

R1: Electric team with no terrains. After Making Nemona 6/5, The game recognizes that Nemona is stronger than SSTRed, which suits our current streaking parameters.
-# Attempts: 1

R2: I saw this team before, and honestly Red is more than capable of soloing so it's an easy stage
-# Attempts: 1

R3: My big boy Ylveltal survives the optimization and gives the stage a beating.
-# I think it was a single attempt but I actually don't remember.

R4: This Sucked a little bit tbh. The parameters are enemies of to the 2 actual psychic dps on this stage. I used SSHilda to debuff defenses, then spams confusion when the job is done.
-# Attempts: 3

R5: The best. Ever. Optimization. All fairies, rebuff, vroom vroom
-# Attempts: 1

[west fog]

I am lazy

I done them

Just didn't grab pics

[west fog]

Weeee
Nearly forgot this week's CS
Streaming now

[west fog]

And that's done

This is for last week

This is for this week's

I seem to realize that Optimization now selects my highest statistically support regardless of typing? I don't even have MF Giovanni caked and he seems to go above most of my support.
Bede now appears more often after being caked, lovely.

[west fog]

Time to do the next one

[west fog]

Round 1:
Tough Start but it worked out well
-# Attempts: 1

Round 2:
This team will forever suck but it can work out.
-# Attempts: 2

Round 3:
Blast through all the barricades
-# Attempts: 1

Round 4: I messed up a bit here. I know, how? We won't talk about it, but we managed to deal with the self sabotaging.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 5:
This actually was a bit scary. Garchomp was dealing really heavy damage for some reason but everything got cleared after Nate's B Move.
-# Attempts: 1

[west fog]

Well

For the Main CSMM i been doing the same thing

Teams nearly always the same

So stopped posting

For Special CSMM ill do solos or duos and post again

[west fog]

How many pikachus do you-
Yes

Although They weren't on the same team good that they showed up together

[west fog]

So I haven't been posting but my streak is still going strong
Full optimization teams, which brings us to today.
I did the full Silver CSMM with team optimization from the game. Which was... Quite the challenge... (I had to level up a unit to have it chosen over another unit 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️)
But anyways
My parameters didn't change
I chose the order of the stages on what I expected to be most difficult therefore the game will waste my strongest units first.

Without further ado

(yes, Riley has so much Strength number he gets chosen over all the rest that you see in the screen)

[wild nexus]

Based game

Riley >>> everyone else

[west fog]

I may or may not start to hate stages where i have to use physical attackers.

Also, why is the sun EX extension so ass? i put on like 6 sunny days and it went out so quickly lol. I need to actually see the actual numbers behind this.

[west fog]

I plan to take N all the way to the end tbh
I only alternate to SSHilda on Physical stages, other than that AnniN all the way baby

[west fog]

It's been a while, but I think I am going to end this streak soon.

Since February 6th of 2025
I ran the optimization challenge.
Basically:
The same parameters I set since that day (I basically gave up WTZ and Stalling. My supports take x3 dmg)
Every Battle I press optimization. I don't edit target, I don't edit anything. Just optimization then start the battle.

What started as a fun challenge became more of a "Oh i need to use this team again" every few weeks. And overall, I was forced to use Lusamine nearly every 2 weeks. And there are supports that keep repeating no matter the typing of the stage.

Now with the level 200 cap thingie
You can simply increase the level of a more preferable unit and force it to appear in the optimization instead of another less preferable unit. But this beats the idea of the challenge. And I also want to start raising levels of units I like which will also make this challenge as if I am picking who to play anyways. Also if I level up SSTRed and he becomes my main unit to use I am screwed in every electric stage. I have no WTZ so he's useless lol.

I think the time is soon, by the end of this month or the one after, I might go back to full Solo/Duos now that we had a lot of new units that I haven't tried to solo with, I think Ill re-enjoy the idea.

I DIDN'T LOSE TO OPTIMIZATION OKAY

Basically i can just level up red over here to level even 160 i think and he's going to be my always chosen unit for ice stage because he will have more strength than Lusamine

Anyways
Since the streak is coming to an end, i am thinking of being less lazy and posting my clears again

Round 1:
There was no chance of losing this lol.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 2:
Dear Lusamine, I will sleep well the day I stop using you.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 3:
this was both easy and miserable at the same time.
-# Attempts: 1

Round 4: My Boy Lysandre... This man is going to be my main flying unit, full investment coming soon
-# Attempts: 1

Round 5:
While SSLyra is not usless without the terrain, she sure is annoying to use with that 3 gauge mf move. Also this oak died way too quickly. Overall, thanks for being awesome even without the sun, Adaman.
-# Attempts: 1

[west fog]

It's been a while
The anni units are super busted

[west fog]

Better score, lower rank

[north plank]

Dam

[west fog]

I am officially out of top 20 now
But my aim from the getgo was top 100
I can push if i wanted but i deem it unworthy

[west fog]

FIRE IS HERE TIME TO BASK IN GLORY

[north plank]

@west fog is your gym recruiting?

[west fog]

Not that i know of, they were a bit ago but not anymore i believe

[north plank]

If they open up in the future let me know

[west fog]

My highlights of the Gym Battle is Burning Through Erika and Struggling against Blaine

Also in early Circuits, I had a really cool Fire Physical Team, not everyone was sure it will Work but I prevailed

[wild nexus]

89ks are crazy, wouldnt expect anything less from you

[west fog]

Yup, Fire is where I am best

I just happened to have good Aca Brendan so I cleaned the mess in Physical Water

[wild nexus]

I came so close to clearing with 89k+, but ive been ignoring LG and didnt have cookies to SP3 Hilda. Best I did was mid left at like 5% 😭

SP3 would have trivialized it

[west fog]

At later circuits we switched to offtype on the physical fire stage, it was very hard for SSHilda to manage alone, and there are no real physical hitters that don't take so much time like VEthan

But It was fun to keep melting Erika when it wasn't Physical

[wild nexus]

move animations eating up timer is a massive issue in this mode fr though

[west fog]

If only you saw the up and beyond I (a DC hater) had to come up with to save as much time as possible

I was integrating SSRed Propulsion into my gameplay

[wild nexus]

the process of figuring this stuff out was fun though

[west fog]

It seems i set up a lot of weather

[north plank]

Bro loves weather 😭

[wild nexus]

Which type duty you on this time Jo?

[west fog]

Bug Type

Surpassingly, I never thought I would

Because my roster lacks it. But for this kind of events you kinda just need the one busted unit, not the surplus amount like HSE demands.

But yeah, I got good gear and all the necessary investment

I think at the next circuit we might have a more lenient time

Some struggles

[wild nexus]

Yeah, I remember your hatred for Bug. Roster is finally decent enough though.

I just got Benga today and lacking couple move levels on Alder

But I did get 5/5 Sabrina, so on psychic duty again

Btw are you done with C5? Were you able to 1:1 bug?

[west fog]

I mean on top of it being one if my lesser roster, my least favorite typing in the Pokemon world is Arguably the Bug Type. Yes there are some super cool buh types like Scizor-line and Volcarona, but overall it's just meh to me

[west fog]

EX Zone definitely helps majorly, do you cover for more typings?

[west fog]

Spent 30k.... 0 Sabrina copies... Guess who's gonna be pitying around May 1st

[wild nexus]

Not really, might setup flying or bug for later stages, or maybe offtype with electric, but other than that I'm doing all non-special-only psychic stages

[west fog]

Yeah, we're past C5, someone else did C5 though I wasn't available. I don't know if we did a 1:1, but with my setup that's very easy to pull

[wild nexus]

Understandable, can't think of any bug Pokémon I like a lot either

Is Benga 10/5?

[west fog]

Do you have VHilbert?

[west fog]

Yes

[wild nexus]

No, don't have any EX elex terrain. That is just in case I have tickets left to spam at the end.

[west fog]

That NCHilda is 5/5 isn't she

[wild nexus]

Record one of your C8+ runs if possible please

Yeah 5/5 Hilda Sabrina Gloria

[west fog]

Ahhhhhh i know the struggle! I got lucky with SSIono, i tried so desperately for V Hilbert and VN when they were out, got 5 copies of VHilda instead, happy I got her but man I would have gained so much from the other 2

[west fog]

If my Phone doesn't explode, I will

[wild nexus]

I was kinda out of the loop when they were around the first time. Being more selective with pulls and candy investments now, but yeah sucks to be locked out cause you lack 1 key pair.

[west fog]

I usually skip all Varieties unless it's like one of my super favs. And I was going to skip these 3 too..... But they all had EX WTZ and that's why I was like uhhhhhhh I can't have NCMay scenario happen to me again.... (I had to pity her in a returning banner, first time I did that for any unit)

But yeah ended up without the 2 I wanted the most
N, well because rn i cannot progress Ground Tower, I have no Special hitters and No EXZone ... Maybe in a future seasonal select I'll pick Rika?

As for Hilbert, well.... Needless to say Electric will always be OP Because of every new pikachu that drops

And Hilda well, I have every Hilda except the octopus one, all of them 3/5+ so I guess it was just fate

From unavailable to the first one to clear

[wild nexus]

All the best!!

[west fog]

To us both my friend, to us both

[west fog]

Secret preview of C8+

[wild nexus]

Me too Jo!! Although not C8+ yet

[west fog]

Did sides have over 90% hp? Cause that red bar is crazy

[wild nexus]

Basically 100 to 0, Red did some chip

Funny thing is, Sabrina can follow up with another 7-8m nuke

[west fog]

Dummy strong, I'll pity her at the end of the month

[wild nexus]

Worth it

But I hope you don't have to pity

[west fog]

Already at 300/500 might as well commit

If i get her in the next 2 multis I'll stop though

[wild nexus]

Why exactly 2?

It's less than regular pity?

[west fog]

Yes, so ill just pretend i did a regular pity, cut my losses because my gems are dead

[wild nexus]

[north plank]

C8+ is extra round 8?

[west fog]

I think that was Extra round 4

But everything after Extra round 4 is the same thing difficulty wise

[north plank]

Wild damage. And im here figuring out how to outdamage with red96 lmao

[west fog]

I seen a lot of discussion in #gym-discussion where they do some Red96 1-1-1 strategy or something similar to it

[wild nexus]

Jo do y'all reckon any of the top 3 teams are cheating? Is their score even feasible?

[west fog]

I don't like accusing, especially when we don't have solid proof, but I personally think something is not right.
If only Dena would make it so we can see Their Circuit numbers we would be able to easily confirm.

The thing that bothers me is that we put in so much effort to not even accidentally trigger any exploits and others seem to not even hide it

[wild nexus]

Right? We triggered it by accident once, figured what happened and made sure it never happened again.

I'll be bummed if you don't get your deserved rank because of this bs (if they're cheating ofc)

Rooting for you!

[west fog]

I just want to make it into top 8 at this point, Ill make a fuss about bragging rights later

We have a few Circuits to run so hopefully we make

I am on 0 Tickets though

So just watching

[wild nexus]

Yeah, last I checked you were 9th

Y'all got this!

[west fog]

I am cheering us too hehe

[north plank]

@west fog whats your rank within your gym?

Im #1 in mine lol

[west fog]

I am unranked

[north plank]

Not top 5?!?!

You cant see your points total?

Like 1 mill?

[west fog]

I had bunch of cheering + cleaned up early circuits

I was like 2m

But currently unranked

[north plank]

Dam. Im at 1.8 mill

[west fog]

I was 2.2m iirc

[north plank]

Barely figuring out setups

Using red96 and juliana

[west fog]

But with today's reset i am off the ranks

[north plank]

For clears

Tough. Seems like we dont need to use 3 tickets at beginning

Just 2 or 1 is enough I guess

[west fog]

You mean C4-C7?

[north plank]

Before that

[west fog]

Before that we're forced to do 3s

[north plank]

Like literally first couple circuits

[west fog]

The game doesn't let you do less

[north plank]

Oh really

I didnt notice

Oh wait youre right

[west fog]

Yep, I cleared 3 of them haha

[north plank]

Lol but after that just 2 lol

[west fog]

Some stages you can 1 ticket

I know I cleared Milo with 2 in C7

[north plank]

Yea with the right setup

I just pitty juliana today lol

[west fog]

GGs bro, I couldn't pull her, my Gems are hurting

2 Arc 3 Anni 2 Arcs again
I can't do it

[north plank]

Dam. What units are required for your gym in order to go hard?

[west fog]

I mean Julianna is definitely used, but she's not absolutely required

And if she is

Not everyone needs her

[north plank]

Yea but before that I assume other units are just as viable

[west fog]

I mean I saw usage of SS Lear, EX Zoners in general, and ofc the most important 2 are Anniversary Gloria and Red96

[west fog]

Where is your gym currently?

[north plank]

Around 180

But not everyone in the gym is participating

So might need to remove them and find more new active players

[west fog]

Are you guys at least communicating together?

[north plank]

Oh yea we got discord

Leader communicating decently

[west fog]

To be honest the event is all about communication

Like even with all the good units, it doesn't matter if you guys don't organize what to do together

Although If Dena doesn't fix the bugs in the mode I think I personally might lose my excitement for the mode

[north plank]

Oh 💯. It reminds me alot of khux raid battles with teams

Was super exciting. But I wonder what thst glitch is that the #1 is using

X seems to have alot of details

[west fog]

I don't know exact details but I know what it is, but it was found during gvg1

And somehow Dena decided to launch Gvg2 without fixing it. Which is just unfortunate for honest players

[north plank]

What was the exploit?

[west fog]

Think of it like this, They make it so one stage score more than 200000

And repeat

If you do it so many times, you can easily use less tickets to score so much more points than intended (possible)

[north plank]

You know what

I noticed a glitch like that

My score was 2 mill or something

But returned to normal after

I just dont know how it activated

[west fog]

Your score was 2Mil in the your own gym ranking?

[north plank]

But was a certain setup

[north plank]

Yea temporarily

Was a gltich

Then it revert back to 150k points lol

[west fog]

Definitely weird, there has been many bugs
Sometimes you win the stage but the game counts it as Cheer with 0% hp lol

There has been a cheering bug where cheering is not counting

[north plank]

That sucks

I would be annoyed

[west fog]

Definitely annoying, I think they need to fix the mode before rushing gvg3

[north plank]

If enough people report the bugs

Dena will be able to fix it...

Hopefully

[west fog]

A lot of people have been reporting, I know I did

[north plank]

Ill do it too

I really enjoy pvp gym battlea

[west fog]

Honestly it feels like the game is more alive with gvg

And I like it

[north plank]

💯

Once a month is alright but would be fun for more lol

[west fog]

Needs more gaps, it's fun but it's also a lot of work, we might get burnouts

[wild nexus]

Agreed, very fun mode, but I hope it doesn't return for a couple months now

[north plank]

Couple months is too long. Once a month is fine

[west fog]

This is my improvised Rotation, for Milo 1-2.
I had a different rotation at first, but Advice from Bicio and Ropalme landed me here.
Especially the RNG factor being removed meaning this run is basically a success everytime I run it, don't need no mprs or whatever.

Ignore my poor quality, my phone is barely handling itself hehe

Disappointing, we got pushed to top 9.

Top 1 has posted, and they're in C9 by the end of the event. Easy to assume that others were exploiting it as well.

But here we are, I am proud of my gym. We had a few mistakes in the beginning but we still climbed hard

[north plank]

@west fog did you see the reddit post?

[west fog]

Which one?

[west fog]

To be honest, I had evidence before the event finished that Rank 1 is cheating, but the rest I only assumed. Although it seems like all top 4 are doing the same thing.

[north plank]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/s/6JchSOTbOS

[west fog]

Oh yeah I saw Sora Post on Youtube, we already knew Sora (TypeWild) was cheating, 3 days before the event ended
We had screenshots but we didn't want to do a witch hunt.

[north plank]

Fuck that witch hunt them

They deserve it

They got nothing to lose other then leave the game

[west fog]

Considering their actions can force Dena to take action and fix the mode, Sora has always been helpful to the community in the past. I rather Dena Take action and just remove the excessive points or disband all the top 4 gyms (the confirmed cheating ones)

[north plank]

I get it but if they are cheating its not fair to play double standard

Let it be a lesson to not do it from the beginning or share all details from the beginning

[wild nexus]

You should be. Your gym did so well. Crazy work honestly. I can totally understand your disappointment. But I'm hopeful they'll fix this. Either way, like I said, you should be proud in the meanwhile

[north plank]

@west fog HOW DID YOU do?
